This Fire Diamond Dragon Statue, same as the Jade Flood Pendant, was a treasure that Ji Ye created with Fusion on his own.

He had created such an item mainly because of the inspiration of the Dragon-Patterned Bronze Bells.

The bells that were engraved with the nine sons of the dragon could raise dragon power when activated by the Eye Painting Brush!

It made Ji Ye speculate that “engraving”, as a skill, might be special just like singing and painting on the Land of Inheritance.

Therefore, he had created this dragon statue with one chance of Fusion. Apart from the Fire Diamond from the Magma Monsters, he also melted the blood of Suanni, one of the dragon’s nine sons transformed from the power of the bronze bells.

However, perhaps due to the influence of his consciousness, the previously Perfect Fire Diamond became “Superior” after the fusion.

But it was an Extraordinary Rank-8 treasure even though it was Superior. In particular, it was even more powerful with the Eye Painting Brush.

Also, in a favorable environment such as the crater, the fire dragon was definitely as powerful as one at the peak of Extraordinary Rank-8!

The ice Flood Dragon, on the other hand, was no less awesome. It reverberated with Ji Ye even better because of Ji Ye’s Flood Dragon bloodline.

“Roar… Roar…”

After the two dragons took shape, they didn’t coexist in harmony but roared and mauled each other brutally as if they were sworn enemies to each other.

Ji Ye, however, didn’t stop the two dragons but activated the last level of the Yin and Yang Sutra at the center of the battlefield where the two dragons were fighting!

Boom! Boom!

While Ji Ye remained calm, many players on the Musical House Island lost their cool.

“Look! What’s going on over there?”

“Crap! Is there going to be another volcano eruption?”

“What do we do? Where is Grandmaster Gongsun? Ask him to extinguish the fire with a rainfall!”

It was because the battle of two illusionary dragons that were both as strong as one at the peak of Extraordinary Rank-8 was rather astonishing.

Not only was the magma around surging and roiling, but plumes of sparkling smoke were also rising to the sky from the crater, making the new players on the other three islands panicked.

“Calm down and get on with your business!”

However, under the control of the leadership of the settlement who were aware of the matter and the powerful heroes, no riots really took place.

“Roar… Roar…”

As time went by second by second in the crater, the battle between the Jade Pendant Flood Dragon and the Fire Diamond Dragon gradually slowed down.

If one were to observe more carefully, they would see that Ji Ye, who was between the two dragons, emitted a tremendous amount of True Qi and Dragon Aura that offset the power from the dragons.

In the end, the fire, magma, seawater, and ice on the two dragons, which were completely contradictory, were gradually melting under the control of the True Qi and the Dragon Aura!

Ji Ye’s aura changed nonstop during the process.

Hum!

Finally, the vibe around Ji Ye changed.

The Yin and Yang Sutra and his Perfect inner strength skill had become Flawless, giving his True Qi new features.

It could automatically circulate and replenish itself!

Because of such a feature, whoever had a Flawless inner strength skill would be a lot stronger than before. They could even fight against a whole army on their own.

Of course, it didn’t mean that he had Li Yuanba’s “Infinite Stamina”.

It was because the transformation of True Qi had to consume physical strength, and once a person was physically exhausted, their True Qi would run out.

Of course, the circulation of True Qi was the common feature of all Flawless inner strength skills.

In addition, just like how the Nine Yang Divine Art had the unique feature of “ultimate yang” apart from the common feature of “True Qi unleashing”, the Yin and Yang Sutra also had a new ability after reaching Flawless, which was that it could simulate any True Qi!

Furthermore, it could even transform the True Qi of any nature for one’s own use!

It meant that his inner strength was basically a combination of the Nine Yang Divine Art, the Nine Yin Sutra, the Small Formless Technique, and the Northern Ocean Technique!

Of course, because the Yin and Yang Sutra could only transform the True Qi that other people transmitted and couldn’t preserve it permanently, it wasn’t exactly the same as the Northern Ocean Technique.

However, that made little difference.

It was because there were too many excellent resources on the Twin Dragon Island at this moment. The Thousand-Year Snow Ginseng, the Fire Cores, and the Red Pips could all provide years of inner strength for something.

Also, one’s abdomen and veins only had limited capacity. It was impossible to absorb hundreds of years’ worth of inner strength from other people and thereby become invincible.

Furthermore, the center of martial arts training wasn’t about quantitative changes but about qualitative changes.

Of course, the only way to secure another qualitative change after a technique became Flawless was to reach Transcendent first.

Ji Ye, however, couldn’t continue training in seclusion to break his limits anymore.

It was because he had advanced into Extraordinary Rank-9 while the Yin and Yang Sutra became Flawless.

After the advancement, he immediately received a piece of information in his head.

[“The settlement core has reached Extraordinary Rank-9, and a member has reached Extraordinary Rank-9 or achieved a flawless Extraordinary skill… The requirements to advance into Transcendent are met. Your settlement core will officially be promoted as Transcendent if you pass the test of advancement!”]

…

In the conference room of the Twin Dragon Mount fort…

The seats that could accommodate a hundred people were all taken.

All the leaders of the Twin Dragon Island were here except Wu Song, Lu Zhishen, Gongsun Sheng, and a few others who were training in seclusion.

Even some players from the third batch who had distinguished performance since their arrival had been asked to participate in this meeting.

“So that’s why! No wonder we’ve been stuck in Extraordinary Rank-9 for so long. There’s actually a requirement on both the level of the settlement core and the level of its members for a settlement to advance into Transcendent!”

A lot of people were greatly enlightened.

“This meeting is mainly about the advancement test!”

After everybody was gathered, Ji Ye personally hosted the meeting.

“I think most people here are no strangers to advancement tests…”

The Twin Dragon Mount fort had received an advancement test when it defeated the Soul race and absorbed their settlement core to reach Extraordinary Rank-2.

The Black Serpent, the Jade Scorpions, the Mandrill, and the Steelback Blue Wolf King, which had already been killed by the Twin Dragon Mount, were revived by the aliens’ power of providence and attacked the settlement.

Then, Lu Zhishen, Ji Ye, and Ninth Uncle fought together and defended the fort with Qin Yueyu, Chu Yin, Mister Bug, and Li Qing’s help!

Of course, for the Twin Dragon Island at this moment, four Extraordinary Rank-1 creatures would’ve been taken care of by a few attacks of the Eyes of the Flood Dragon that were deployed at the entrance of the fort, even if they were all Commanders or Quasi-Commanders!

However, it was absolutely foreseeable that the test this time wouldn’t be as simple as the last one.

Ji Ye wouldn’t feel surprised even if a thousand Extraordinary creatures were to be unleashed at them at the same time.
