  Chapter 418 Dragon Blood Holder (13)

  When Ian took off the gauntlet that covered his entire left arm and elbow, the light blue light suddenly lit up, like a bright moon rising in a dark quiet room, illuminating the faces of the two of them.

The boy's left arm has been crystallized, but it doesn't look hideous. Instead, it has a strange beauty, as if an artist carved an arm out of crystal, and there is light in those shiny cyan lattice patterns. In the flow, the muscle lines and blood vessels in the arms are reflected in every detail.

  After showing this arm, even Elder Manya, who had been mentally prepared for a long time, couldn't help trembling slightly, and almost gasped.

  But he still calmed down. After shaking his head, he said to Ian in a forced calm voice: "Can I... take a serious look?"

   "Please."

  Ian readily agreed, and he handed the ether crystallized arm to the old man. Elder Manya took a few deep breaths, then closed and opened his eyes.

  The slit-like silver vertical pupils lit up in the green eyes, and the old man carefully looked at the crystalline arm in front of him like a work of art.

   "My awakened dragon blood is reflected in the dragon's horns and eyes. They prolong my lifespan, increase my ability to control source quality, and allow me to see many things that humans cannot see."

  While observing, the old man explained to Ian: "But I awakened too late and I am too old. If you are young people like you, the power in your blood is enough to make you go further."

   "And your arm..."

Staring at it seriously, Elder Manya sighed: "It's so perfect. It's a very wonderful structure, I can't fully dissect it, but I sensed a breath similar to a crystal dragon, but more powerful than ordinary crystal dragons... It is rumored that the crystal dragon The king is also a genus of Gu Long, it seems that this rumor is indeed true."

"This arm must have caused you a lot of trouble in the past, right? But don't worry, there is an extremely powerful force inside it. The upper limit of this force cannot be found with my eyesight. It is as deep as the sea. , is as magnificent as the sky, it is undoubtedly the power of the ancient dragon!"

  After confirming this point, Ian could clearly notice that Elder Manya had a much better attitude towards him.

   And what he said was indeed correct—the ether crystal passed on to him by the ether crystal dragon was indeed comparable to the power of a real dragon, an ancient dragon, and ordinary people simply could not understand the upper limit of the fire engine.

  The fact that the old man can see this is already the result of his extraordinary observation ability of Long Tong.

Ian holds the blood of the ancient dragon, which means that he, Anfa, Xiou, Elder Manya and others are the same kind in the true sense. They all awakened the existence of the bloodline due to various reasons and coincidences. Or they have inherited dragon blood from their parents at birth.

  The core of the Dragon Worship Cult is precisely such a group of dragon blood awakeners.

The entire Dragon Worship Cult is an organization where they help each other, and those ordinary people who want to obtain the power of the ancient dragon are just peripheral members who pursue power. Most of them serve a powerful dragon blood awakener, and that's it. With the small group as the core, a "sect" scattered throughout the land of Terra was expanded.

   "Ian, the most important thing is to hide this power."

Elder Manya personally put on the gauntlet for Ian, covering the obviously crystallized arm. His tone was serious: "Too many people, too many lessons. Those dragon blood people who don't hide their uniqueness will eventually welcome The tragic ending, they got one of the most powerful inheritances in the world because of luck, but they couldn't use this power to protect their own lives."

"Not to mention anything else, the Institute of Intellectual Knowledge and the Institute of Truth in the empire have been trying to decipher the power of the blood of the ancient dragon. Their research is indeed quite effective, but all of them are based on the persecution of the dragon blood people... this It may be a bit alarmist, but you have to believe me, the empire is glamorous on the surface, but there are filth hidden inside..."

  The old man always exhorts habitually, and Ian is willing to listen patiently...Although he doesn't need Elder Manya's reminder at all, he also knows what the Institute of the Spirits is.

   Alarmism? Ian felt that Elder Man Ya might have beautified the image of the Institute of the Intellect a little bit.

  After explaining the importance of hiding the dragon's blood, Elder Manya taught Ian a skill of hiding his own 'dragon's blood'.

  The source quality fluctuations of the dragon's organ are very special, which is equivalent to a kind of source quality secret key, which can be easily discovered by relevant personnel, which is why the Dragon Worship Cult can detect that he is the holder of dragon blood.

  The secret method of concealment is a peculiar method of operating source quality.

To put it simply, it is to choose a piece of bone or flesh and blood in your own dragon transformation area, or even condense a source quality crystal out of thin air, and then use it as the center to create a large-scale vortex supercharging structure, which will completely transform the dragon transformation area. All the overflowing power is poured into it.

  This is an introverted structure. It is completely impossible to notice the abnormality of the source quality itself from the outside world. At most, people who are familiar with it will feel that the user's source quality fluctuations will be a little weaker. It is an excellent hiding method in terms of hiding the breath.

After knowing this method, Ian also knew what method Anfa used to hide his identity as the first energy level sublimator—he directly hid all his body strength, and in a short period of time, he could indeed make him look Like normal people.

   "But in this way, isn't it a waste of a lot of power?"

  While speaking, Ian controlled the source quality in his body, and at the same time operated around the 'Gulong Core' and 'Ether Crystal'.

  He was a little puzzled: "Although I don't know much about dragon transformation...but it is the gradual transformation of our bodies in the dragon transformation area that allows us to have more powerful power than ordinary sublimators?"

   "It can be so restrained, although our dragon blood is hidden, but the speed of dragon blood strengthening us is also much slower."

  The young man quietly changed his address to 'we', but Elder Man Ya didn't notice this detail. After thinking for a while, he seriously replied: "That's indeed the case."

   "But Ian, you have to understand that although we are all members of the 'Dragon Worship'...but the vast majority of people, in their entire lives, will not be able to reach the fourth energy level, the foundation of the 'True Dragon'."

"If we don't reach the fourth energy level, the organs and body parts of dragon transformation are essentially a kind of 'benign' distortion for us. Yes, dragon blood will improve our physical fitness and source quality essence in all aspects. Purity, but as long as it is not contained, this benign distortion will continue to eat away at our bodies, transforming us into 'dragons'."

   "Leaving aside this kind of distortion, will it have a negative impact on our own 'true bloodline'?"

Having said that, the old man raised his hand and touched the dragon's horn on the top of his head. He smiled lightly: "When the conversion rate reaches 100%, but the holder of the dragon blood who has not reached the fourth energy level... will be completely fail."

"They will degenerate into sad and deformed alien dragon beasts, lose their will, be devoured by the instinct of the ancient dragon in the blood, and turn into a kind of monster completely - some people will accept this ending calmly, before completely deforming themselves Pass on the core of dragon transformation to your own children or disciples, so that they will become the acquired dragon blood holders."

   "And some people will put all their eggs in one basket and forcefully use the process of distortion to release the power of the ancient dragon and transform themselves into a real dragon."

   "And the result was a catastrophe."

Elder Manya got up slowly, and he led Ian out of the sacrificial room: "For example, decades ago, the first earthquake that occurred on Ushtaraf was caused by an earth-type dragon blood holder of the third energy level. Some, after the conversion rate reached 100%, in order to successfully transform themselves into real dragons, they deliberately found a place where ancient dragons were buried, and they had to use the corpses of ancient dragons to resonate with their own dragon blood."

"He failed. The power left by the ancient dragon resonated with his blood and indeed reached the fourth energy level, but he couldn't bear this power and died. A huge natural disaster..."

  Ian followed the old man out of the sacrificial room. He followed the old man's raised hand and looked towards a lake not far away at the foot of Mount Avod.

  A large lake with a diameter of more than five kilometers, a perfect circle, and a hemisphere that cannot be more standard.

  Ian's pupils widened slightly, and he suddenly understood why the lake was formed.

   "For another example, the 'natural disaster' that occurred in the Baisen Mountains 120 years ago. A 'falling fire' that almost wiped out three large tribes of mountain people."

  The old mountain people stared at the huge dark green lake that had been filled by rainwater and streams between the mountains.

  He said calmly, but somewhat sadly: "This is why we are called the 'Dragon Worship Cult'."

   "Because we are."

   "Prosper because of blood, die because of blood, if you don't succeed, you will drag the people around you into destruction with yourself... an evil life."
