The Brilliant Fighting Master

After walking dozens of feet along the passage, they finally came to the interior of the mountain. It was very dark, but they could feel that there was a very wide area before them.

There were many slots on the walls, through which a special kind of kerosene was flowing.

Jiang Chen flicked his fingers and a flame appeared in a slot. Fires rose immediately, one after another, and illuminated the space.

The sudden light made Jiang Chen and Leng Chuixue very uncomfortable. They stayed extremely alert.

Two seconds later, the two were shocked by the view before them.

There was an enormous underground palace in there, broad in scale. It had corridors and side halls.

Many years had passed, but it hadn’t lost any of its majesty or grandeur. It didn’t even look old.

Of course, no one was there, so it was very quiet.

“This is so new. Even if a person walked out of there, I wouldn’t find it strange,” said Leng Chuixue.

Jiang Chen nodded slightly. He looked around to see whether there were traps.

“You don’t have to be so careful. This isn’t a mausoleum. It’s a warehouse to store stuff.” Seeing what he was doing, Leng Chuixue thought he was overreacting.

“Do you think the Dragon Dynasty would allow others to take its treasure easily?” Jiang Chen asked.

“No one would like their things to be stolen, but it happens every day,” said Leng Chuixue.

“Now you’re a philosopher, aren’t you? If you say so…”

Jiang Chen stopped speaking and kicked Leng Chuixue’s butt.

Leng Chuixue hadn’t expected that. He was kicked into the underground palace, unable to stop, but directly thrown into the deepest part.

He wasn’t as confident as he had claimed, looking panicked. He kept covering his face with his hand until he stopped, grimacing and shrieking.

Then he touched his whole body, still terrified.

“See? Nothing happened!” And he didn’t forget to puff up his chest to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen was surprised, too. The Dragon Dynasty was more generous than he had thought. There were no defensive measures at all, so it would be much simpler for them. Next, they moved everything that could be deemed as treasure into the center hall and made an inventory.

In terms of spiritual weapons, on a weapon rack in one side hall, there were dozens of class-seven and class-eight items.

In terms of spiritual ware, there was the crystal of fire dragon that Leng Chuixue had mentioned. It could be regarded as a sort of wealth, too. It was a crystal containing strong energy, and it had very broad uses. It could be used by the Devastator directly to result in greater lethality.

“The crystal of fire dragon has special properties. It’s an important energy source that powered the Dragon Dynasty’s secret weapons.”

“So the Evil Cloud Palace is very ambitious. You’re not only going to weed out all Reaching Heaven States, but going to start a war to reestablish the imperial power?”

It was beyond Leng Chuixue’s expectations. He was very surprised when he realized what Jiang Chen had said was true.

If we don’t do away with this guy, he will absolutely be a big threat to us! Leng Chuixue thought on the Evil Cloud Palace’s behalf.

Maybe Jiang Chen’s current strength wasn’t strong enough to do anything, but his insight was dreadful.

Jiang Chen didn’t pay attention to him. He opened a box and was attracted by it right away. In the square box, some balls the size of chicken eggs were lying in order.

The balls were giving off a bright light, as if they didn’t have shells, but they felt very cold when Jiang Chen put his palms on them.

“Holy dragon balls, a precious practice resource the royal disciples of the Dragon Dynasty used. It’s said that three of them at most would be awarded each time, no matter how talented the disciple was,” Leng Chuixue said in shock. There were almost a hundred of them in the box. Their gains there would make them comparable to princes and princesses of ancient times, but he didn’t have any greed for the holy dragon balls, since they were useless to him.

“Don’t even think about them. We have holy dragon balls at the Evil Cloud Palace, too, but except those with royal blood, no one else can use them,” he told Jiang Chen.

“Have you ever asked yourself why?” asked Jiang Chen.

“What? We just can’t use them.” It was true that Leng Chuixue had never thought about it.

“Because what the disciples of Dragon Dynasty practiced were methods for dragons. A holy dragon ball can convert human power to dragon power or the reverse,” said Jiang Chen.

“Really?”

Leng Chuixue couldn’t believe he was so knowledgeable. He asked, “But your theory still doesn’t explain why people without royal blood can’t practice with them.”

“A holy dragon ball is a finished product. The royal disciples could absorb the energy directly. In this sense, the holy dragon ball was the Dragon Dynasty’s lifeblood,” said Jiang Chen.

It sounded like holy dragon balls had similar effects to dragon balls, but the effect of these mass-produced balls wasn’t comparable to dragon balls.

The energy contained in holy dragon balls was like the dragon power Jiang Chen had got from practicing the Dragon and Elephant Method through the dragon ball.

Royal disciples could master dragon’s methods by absorbing the dragon power. It sounded perfect, but once they lost the dragon power, the royal disciples would be capable of nothing, unable to make any more progress.

“Why is that? Do you know the answer to that, too?” said Leng Chuixue.

It was related to a big secret of the Dragon Dynasty. He didn’t believe Jiang Chen could know.

“It’s simple. The first emperor of the Dragon Dynasty was either a dragon or a human dragon.”

A human dragon was the child of a dragon and a human. They could practice dragon’s methods and master dragon power.

Leng Chuixue was petrified. He couldn’t help but say, “Is there anything you don’t know?”

“For example, I don’t know the answer to this question,” Jiang Chen said, smiling.

Leng Chuixue couldn’t stand his confidence, but he had no way to refute it. He glanced at the treasure on the ground and said, “Looks like you’ll be disappointed. I’ll turn over these crystals of fire dragon, but these holy dragon balls are useless. These dozens of spiritual weapons aren’t good enough for you.”

“Yeah, it’s not as good as I thought. This is all the secret treasure is?” said Jiang Chen disappointedly.

“The Evil Cloud Palace only knew about thirty percent of the secret treasure, and the keys given to us are limited to that thirty percent.”

Leng Chuixue regretted it immediately and murmured, “Why did I tell you that?”

“Eh?”

Jiang Chen suddenly felt a hot current flowing from his palm to the other parts of his body. The holy dragon ball in his hand lost its luster and was sapped of energy.

Seeing what had happened, Leng Chuixue exclaimed, “You? Are you a descendent of the royal family?”

Jiang Chen felt the dragon power in him strengthen, and he realized what was going on.

“So we’re on the same team. Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” All of a sudden, Leng Chuixue patted Jiang Chen’s shoulder warmly.

Jiang Chen was struck dumb. The Evil Cloud Palace had been founded by the Dragon Dynasty’s surviving supporters. If he had royal blood, of course he would have a relation to the Evil Cloud Palace.

“No wonder you know so much about the dynasty,” said Leng Chuixue.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Jiang Chen said seriously and squinted.

Leng Chuixue was surprised to see him like this. He wasn’t as sure of himself anymore. There was doubt in his eyes, and Jiang Chen looked at him the same way.
