I picked up skill fragments in the demon world

Chapter 70: Two Hundred Thousand Experience Points (Bonus chapter for Alliance Leader Wind Gentleman Haoran)

The fox spirit's teeth itched with anger upon hearing Zhang Chen's words. This kid was just too difficult to deal with, simply difficult to the extreme.

"I only have a grasp of the situation, not complete certainty! If something goes wrong in the middle, wouldn't my physical body be ruined?" The fox spirit's voice was full of helplessness. He couldn't afford to get angry with Zhang Chen, lest Zhang Chen's suspicious mind become suspicious and cause trouble.

"Forget it, there's no reason for failure if you and I join forces. At worst, I'll just have to protect my physical body well." The fox spirit looked at Zhang Chen with his eyes, and the next moment directly grabbed Zhang Chen's shoulder: "Let's go!"

Then Zhang Chen only felt a blur before his eyes, and when he reappeared, he was already in a stone chamber.

Using the soft light of the luminous pearl in his hand, after seeing the scene in front of him clearly, he couldn't help but shrink his pupils.

It was exactly the same as the tomb where the True Dragon was buried in his memory, but the True Dragon at this time was completely different from the True Dragon he had seen in his dream before. At this time, the True Dragon's body had turned into a skeleton, and the white bones were like jade, shining with a soft luster under the luminous pearl.

Although the skeleton was empty, it could still be seen the shape of the dragon, especially the dragon head, which was as big as an ordinary house, and the dragon horns that soared into the sky, flashing with a shimmering light, as if there was an electric current flowing.

At this time, the dragon blood and dragon tendons of the dragon named 'Ying' were all gone, leaving only a skeleton tens of meters long, lying quietly on the ground, surrounded by a large amount of experience points.

Zhang Chen's eyes lit up when he saw the experience points. If he could absorb such a large area of experience points, he would definitely have a great harvest.

The luminous pearl in his hand emitted a soft light, and Zhang Chen surveyed the entire tomb while collecting experience points. It looked exactly the same as in his dream, except that there were more terrifying and hideous, bottomless ravines on the ground.

The ravines were not wide, some were ten centimeters wide, and some were thirty or forty centimeters wide. The ravines were deep and the bottom could not be seen, like hideous beast mouths, as if they wanted to devour everything in the world.

At this time, golden light flashed in Zhang Chen's eyes, and when the Eye of Law was opened, a divine light flowed, but he saw the aura flashing in the void in front of him, and at this time, the dragon bone in front of him completely turned into another appearance.

In Zhang Chen's Eye of Law, the white bones, which were originally as crystal as jade, were now flashing with a terrifying, eerie green light, and a black dragon-shaped phantom overlapped with the True Dragon's skeleton and fell into a deep sleep without moving.

"That black dragon-shaped gas, could it be the remnant soul of the True Dragon that the fox spirit said? It is a strange thing formed by the True Dragon's resentment, obsession, and luck!" A look of surprise appeared in Zhang Chen's eyes.

And the most important thing was that he could see golden auras that were completely imperceptible to the naked eye constantly flowing out of the True Dragon's skeleton, like flowing dry ice mist, rolling into the underground cracks.

The underground cracks seemed to have a unique suction force, constantly pulling the dragon energy towards the depths of the earth.

"Could there be something in the depths of the earth, like the stone tablet, absorbing the essence of the True Dragon?" Zhang Chen's eyes fell on the cracks, and he was a little unsure in his heart, unable to deduce the truth. He wanted to ask the fox spirit, but he was afraid of alarming the snake.

The black dragon aura seemed to be struggling in a dream at this time, emitting black mist, resisting the suction from the ground, but it could only do useless work, and could not stop the golden aura from flowing out of the True Dragon's body.

"Be careful, that remnant soul of the True Dragon is hiding in the skeleton of the True Dragon, resisting the passage of luck. As long as we touch the skeleton, we can awaken the remnant soul of the True Dragon." The fox spirit looked at Zhang Chen's nonchalant appearance and exhorted: "You only need to step forward and hold the True Dragon skeleton, and pour your golden light into the True Dragon skeleton, and then you can purify the remnant soul of the True Dragon."

"Where are the dragon tendons and flesh of the True Dragon?" Zhang Chen asked, he remembered that the stone tablet in his dream also absorbed the blood of the True Dragon, and did the True Dragon have a dragon ball?

"Do you know why some people walk the flood dragon path to transform into a dragon?" The fox spirit asked rhetorically.

"Didn't you say it was because the essence of the True Dragon leaked out from here?" Zhang Chen said.

"That's right, hundreds of years ago, there was a major earthquake here, which cracked the underground palace, causing it to connect with the external earth veins. The flesh and blood of the True Dragon turned into essence and was absorbed by the earth veins, and then someone was buried in the earth veins, absorbing the essence of the True Dragon's flesh and blood. Even the True Dragon skeleton in front of you has had 90% of its essence absorbed by the earth veins. What you see is just an empty shell supporting it. As long as we take away the dragon soul, the True Dragon skeleton will directly turn into ashes and disappear into the world in less than an hour." The fox spirit looked at Zhang Chen with his eyes.

"I see." Zhang Chen understood in his heart.

Looking at the golden aura constantly flowing into the cracks on the ground, he understood the reason in his heart. It turned out that the earth veins were constantly absorbing the luck from the True Dragon's body. The golden aura was perhaps the essence of the True Dragon, or perhaps the True Dragon's luck.

And the True Dragon's obsession was born from luck, attached to the True Dragon's skeleton, and used the True Dragon's skeleton as a foundation to resist the devouring power of the earth veins.

"That dragon soul obsession may have some strangeness, possessing strange powers like the fox spirit, but facing the power of heaven and earth like the earth veins, it cannot contend. As long as the flood dragon transformation succeeds over there, the True Dragon's obsession here will be completely absorbed and dissipated in the world."

Zhang Chen had some guesses in his heart, and a look of contemplation appeared in his eyes.

"I have a doubt, why doesn't the True Dragon's remnant leave this place, but lingers in the dead bones?" Zhang Chen looked at the fox spirit and asked the strange thing in his heart.

Hearing Zhang Chen's words, the fox spirit said: "All living beings in the world with three souls and seven spirits, even if they cultivate great abilities, must have a physical body to rely on. The True Dragon's obsession was born in the dead bones, and the dead bones are his physical body, but before he could cultivate to the point of perfection, an earthquake broke his luck, causing the dragon energy and essence to leak out."

The fox spirit said here with some schadenfreude: "This fellow is also unlucky, simply unlucky! It can only be said that supernatural powers cannot defeat the will of heaven! It is good that the dragon soul is now relying on the True Dragon skeleton, and it can still last for three to five years, which can slow down the loss of luck and the True Dragon's origin. Once it leaves the True Dragon skeleton and loses the reliance of the physical body, it will turn into nothingness in ten and a half months and be absorbed by the power of the earth veins."

Zhang Chen understood in his heart after hearing this, and knew the state of the True Dragon's remnant at this time.

“Right now, there's still about ten percent of the True Dragon's aura remaining on this True Dragon skeleton, along with the True Dragon's destiny, which hasn't dissipated. That Jiao dragon attempting to transform into a dragon won't be able to complete the transformation without this ten percent of aura and the True Dragon's destiny. Even if it forcibly transforms, it'll probably only become a pseudo-dragon. The True Dragon in this world is unique; an era can only have one True Dragon destiny. Only by possessing the True Dragon destiny can one transform into a True Dragon.” Speaking of this, a burning look appeared in the fox spirit's eyes, a look that made Zhang Chen's heart palpitate. These were all common knowledge, and she didn't hide them from Zhang Chen. Anyone with a bit of interest could find out about the matter of dragon transformation with a little inquiry.

After all, the human race has thousands of years of heritage, and the imperial army has slain more than one True Dragon.

“Could it be that this fox spirit never thought of targeting the True Dragon's remnant soul, but instead is aiming for the True Dragon's destiny and aura? Does this fox spirit want to transform into a dragon? Does she want to compete for the chance to transform into a dragon?” A thoughtful look appeared in Zhang Chen's eyes.

“Hurry up and act! Don't hesitate. In case you accidentally disturb the dragon soul, and it crawls out from the skeleton, it'll be troublesome then.” The fox spirit urged anxiously from the side, “If you act, I can assist you from the side to suppress the dragon soul, giving you more time.”

“No rush! I'll take a look first.” Zhang Chen casually brushed off the fox spirit and slowly walked towards the True Dragon skeleton while carrying the fox spirit's body.

“I'll check if there are any traps first, to prevent you from坑 (kēng - tricking/scamming) me.” Zhang Chen muttered, making the fox spirit's face turn green with anger, “It's already come to this, how would I坑 (kēng - trick/scam) you?”

Zhang Chen ignored her and just walked cautiously.

…

Wherever Zhang Chen walked, large amounts of experience were absorbed. Zhang Chen was completely immersed in the joy of collecting experience, and the whole person was simply having too much fun to think of home.

It had been a long time since he had collected such a large amount of experience.

“The burial ground of a True Dragon actually has so much experience. What kind of incredible fortune would there be in the tomb of that Imperial Daughter?” Zhang Chen was lost in thought.

Zhang Chen carefully stepped over a gully, and then, using the light of the night-luminescent pearl, surveyed the entire tomb. He saw that the surroundings of the tomb were a mess, and all the burial objects had been turned upside down.

“Stop looking. The only valuable things in this tomb are probably the True Dragon's body and the essence of the dragon soul. The rest were taken away by us. Why would there be good things left for you?” The fox spirit mocked coldly from the side.

Zhang Chen ignored the fox spirit's mockery and didn't bother searching the burial goods. Indeed, as the fox spirit said, if there were any valuable burial goods left in the underground palace, how would the fox spirit let him have them? She probably would have taken them away long ago.

[Experience +100]

…

Zhang Chen walked around the entire True Dragon skeleton, and after collecting all the experience on the ground, he stopped, his eyes looking at his golden finger panel. But after seeing the numerical value of the points, Zhang Chen couldn't help but have his breath catch in his throat. Even with his composure, he couldn't help but have his heart beat rapidly and uncontrollably.

“Why is your heart suddenly beating so fast? Did you discover something good?” The fox spirit's perception was very keen. After noticing Zhang Chen's heart suddenly and inexplicably beating rapidly, her pupils shrank, and she quickly looked towards Zhang Chen, wanting to see what was strange.

In order to better detect Zhang Chen's line of sight, the fox spirit quickly moved closer to Zhang Chen and looked in the direction of Zhang Chen's gaze. She saw that Zhang Chen's eyes were looking at a crack in the ground not far away, but no matter how hard the fox spirit looked, she couldn't detect anything in the crack.

“Could it be that there is some earth-shattering fortune in this crack in the ground that was actually noticed by this kid Zhang Chen?” The fox spirit's soul couldn't sit still when she thought of this, and without saying a word, she rushed directly into the crack.

Zhang Chen didn't know what the fox spirit was thinking. Although his gaze was cast towards the crack in the ground, what he was actually looking at was the golden finger panel in front of him, his eyes locked on the points on his golden finger panel:

[Points: Two Hundred Thousand]

Two hundred thousand points!

Zhang Chen's heart was so excited that it was about to stop beating.

To what extent could these two hundred thousand points upgrade his golden finger?

Zhang Chen's gaze turned and fell on the skills:

[Name: Zhang Chen]

[Skill 1 (Tier 3): Light of the True God --\u003e Retention (0/50000)]

[Skill 2 (Unranked): Dragon Qi (0/2000)]

[Skill 3 (Unranked): Blood Control (8/100000)]

[Skill 4 (Unranked): Water Control (0/1000)]

[Points: Two Hundred Thousand Three Thousand Six Hundred and Eighty]

(In order to prevent everyone from straining their eyes looking at the points, the author directly capitalized them, so that everyone doesn't have to count the circles.)

What is the concept of two hundred thousand points?

Zhang Chen felt that all his skills could probably be upgraded once.

“These points came just in time!” Zhang Chen's heart was constantly excited. This great tomb was simply his blessed land. Even if there were no other gains, these points alone were enough for him to get rich.

He really might not be able to see the money of ordinary mortals at this time, and there is absolutely no way that points have a greater effect on him.

Money can be earned, but if the points are gone, then there is really no way.

“Skill 1, Light of the True God, requires 50,000 points to upgrade. It is necessary to upgrade the Light of the True God. After the upgrade is complete, I am afraid that the required points will exceed two or three hundred thousand, which means that my current points can probably be upgraded once.” Zhang Chen secretly calculated how to use the remaining 150,000 points.

“The remaining points require 100,000 for Blood Control. Blood Control must be upgraded. This skill is really heaven-defying. If Blood Control is upgraded, there will still be 50,000 points left for Water Control and Dragon Qi, which can still be upgraded for one or two more waves.” Zhang Chen kept calculating carefully in his heart.

Although he now has 200,000 points, Zhang Chen felt that it would be better to save a little, and he must maximize the points.

Although there are many points, his skills are now large consumers of points, and these points may not be able to upgrade many times. He still needs to use all the points on the edge.

Only in this way can he not only control the fox spirit, but also have enough gains in the tomb. This tomb is probably not peaceful, and he must prepare in advance to deal with it.
