Chapter 267: Chapter 168: Explosive Harvest, New Divine Skill, Dragon Cherry Seed! (4K)_2

Divine Skills and their sources of acquisition are indeed related... Slaying a Pureblood Dragon Species yielded the [Dragon Horn].

But all these don't matter; let's activate it first.

Xue Jing clicked [Yes].

[Activation Successful]

[Dragon Horn Lv1 (Divinity required to level up: 2139/100)]

[Effect: Can conjure the horns of a True Dragon]

[Divine Incarnation: Unlocked (Unlock conditions: Divinity 2139/2000, reach Lv10)]

Yet another succession of plain introductions...leaving one utterly clueless about its functions.

Considering for a moment, Xue Jing directly initiated it.

"Pili pala—"

Instantly, sounds of electrical currents came from his forehead, and then, fine silver electric currents slowly appeared and gathered in increasing numbers.

Amidst the crackling noises, two 'Dragon Horns' appeared on Xue Jing's head, resembling frozen silver lightning.

The two Lightning Dragon Horns were shaped in a 'Z' pattern, extremely sharp at the tips, surfaces constantly undulating, shimmering with fine silver electric currents, looking incredibly beautiful.

Xue Jing had a realization in his heart as he stretched his hand towards a large, half-human-high stone on the ground.

"Zzzzz—"

Amidst the sound of electric currents, silver lightning shot from his hand onto the stone.

Instead of disappearing, the lightning wrapped around the stone like chains, one end remaining in Xue Jing's hand.

Xue Jing lifted his hand upwards and, after a slight sense of resistance, the stone was directly lifted into the air by his electric chains.

"Is that—!!"

The Mirror Person's eyes widened.

"How do you still have abilities? No, this is new."

"Have you acquired another God-Given Secret Art?"

Xue Jing smiled, "Seems like it."

He withdrew the silver lightning in his hand, and the stone immediately fell back to the ground. Discover stories with m,v l'e-NovelFire.net Searᴄh the nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"So it is, after using [Dragon Horn], I can now wield this silver lightning that influences 'gravity'."

Xue Jing understood in his heart.

What he had done just now was not lifting the stone with actual lightning.

Rather, he had used the lightning to make the stone's 'gravity' zero, causing it to float on its own.

"This is Dragon Thunder!"

Lightning that affected gravity, a symbol of the Pureblood Dragon Species cherished by the heavens, Dragon Thunder!

Xue Jing pointed with his finger, and a bolt of silver lightning shot out, striking the large stone.

"Boom—"

The stone exploded, shattering into countless fragments.

"Hmm, the sheer power is not bad either, especially the attack speed is very fast."

Xue Jing nodded to himself.

"So, next..."

Xue Jing looked forward with anticipation. He took a deep breath, the two Lightning Dragon Horns on his head crackling.

In the next moment, silver thunder enveloped his body, like a silver and white feather belt winding around him, flickering and undulating with the wind, giving him an ineffable aura of Immortality, as if a deity had descended.

Under the influence of the silver Dragon Thunder, the gravity that had been binding him from birth gradually decreased to nothing, completely freeing him from its restraint.

And thus, Xue Jing took flight.

"Flying ability!"

"Finally acquired!"

Xue Jing slowly ascended to a height of about a dozen meters, his heart filled with surprise.

Flying, escaping the bonds of gravity, one of humanity's ultimate dreams, was realized by him at that moment.

Without the use of Alien Implants, but purely by his own ability.

This was something that even the highest levels of Old Martial Arts training could never achieve.

Although he had previously indirectly gained the ability to move in the air through Shadow Flame, it was nothing compared to true flight.

This was the ultimate symbol of freedom, a human dream!

Xue Jing familiarized himself with the effect of the Dragon Thunder on his own gravity in the air, learning how to adjust it to move forward, backward, left, and right...

Initially, he was quite unfamiliar and controlled it with difficulty, but with his learning capability at that moment, after just ten minutes, he was able to control his direction skillfully, freely flying through the sky.

"Cool... just a bit slow."

Xue Jing, at a height of dozens of meters, moved forward at a pace of approximately four or five meters per second.

This was currently his top speed.

He opened the panel, switched to the Divine Skill tab, opened [Dragon Horn], and chose to level it up.

[Dragon Horn Lv2]

[Dragon Horn Lv3]

[Dragon Horn Lv4 (Divinity required for upgrade: 1239/800)]

He had directly upgraded it to Lv4, spending nine hundred points of Divinity.

The silver Thunder Feather Belt wrapped around Xue Jing crackled loudly, its lightning intensifying, and Xue Jing's originally sluggish flying speed suddenly accelerated.

He reached a speed of almost thirty meters per second.

Although this wasn't comparable to his running speed on the ground, it was still quite fast, exceeding a hundred kilometers per hour.

"Let's leave it at this for now and not hurry to continue upgrading; I'll save some Divinity for backup."

Xue Jing, having satisfied his desire to playfully fly, slowly descended from the air.

Upon touching the ground, he dispersed the silver-white Lightning Dragon Horns on his head into currents of electricity.

"...To think you've been given another God-Given Secret Art from a completely different realm, just what kind of Heretic God do you have?"

The Mirror Person exclaimed in astonishment.

"Could it really be as I suspect, an old master who has returned from the 'Great Silence'..."

Xue Jing was about to speak when his gaze suddenly shifted, looking towards the True Dragon corpse nearby.

At that moment, the thoroughly mangled True Dragon corpse, covered with countless fine cuts, was slowly collapsing inwards at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Xue Jing narrowed his eyes: "What's going on?"

The Mirror Person said leisurely, "Don't worry, it's already dead."

"...Pureblood Dragon Species are born from nature itself without parents, and upon death, they naturally return to nature."

"Its flesh and blood will turn into nutrients that nourish the land. For the next several decades, even a hundred years, this area will be very fertile, and planting anything here will yield a great harvest."

"Besides, it will leave something behind."

Xue Jing asked, "What is it?"

The Mirror Person said, "An egg."

"It must be a survival instinct remaining even after death. From its corpse, a final Dragon Egg will be born, roughly inheriting its own genes."

"However, only those Pureblood Dragon Species born from nature count; the Dragon Egg it leaves behind, even if very similar to itself, is just an imitation. Moreover, because it's nothing but 'Embers' after death, it's even a step below the lineage of the Guardian Dragons."

"The Dragon Egg is your battle trophy, how do you wish to handle it?"

After thinking for a moment, Xue Jing smiled and said, "Let's give it to Renea; I owe her a lot for this time."

The Mirror Person nodded, somewhat gratified:

"You're quite generous... If you were to auction off that Dragon Egg, you'd probably get at least fifty million Zhuxia currency as a starting bid."

Xue Jing: "?"

He scratched his head: "Can I take back what I said?"

The Mirror Person said irritably, "Don't be so petty, once a word is spoken, it cannot be chased back even with a team of horses."

Xue Jing laughed: "Just kidding, it's just fifty million after all."

He stretched lazily, planning to find a place to take a nap.

Although he had been fully revived with Twin Lifes and did not feel tired at all,

the memory of the battle that lasted several hours was still there, and following the inertia of the memory, he felt it was better to rest.

The last move he made, 'Cherry Full Moon,' also took a significant toll on his spiritual power, after all, it was a Mystic Art Level technique.

"Hm? Wait a second, look at its head."

The Mirror Person suddenly spoke, pointing at the Dragon Horn on the True Dragon's corpse.

There were dark branches wrapped around it, but the cherry blossoms that had bloomed on the branches had all withered and decayed.

Seeing this, Xue Jing had a realization: "Right, I almost forgot about this."

"This is the real 'battle trophy'!"

Saying so, Xue Jing reached out to touch the dark branches on the Dragon Horn.

With a touch, a 'Pact Seal' was imprinted on the branch.

Xue Jing checked his panel and saw that the Level 6 Plant Pact, which should have been close to a full Blue Bar due to the previous seeds' demise,

had its name dimmed and its Blue Bar consumed by more than half the moment he made a pact with the branches on the Dragon Horn!

"The more powerful the plant, the greater the consumption."

Xue Jing's eyes lit up as he plucked the branches from the dragon's head and threw them onto the ground.

He then snapped his fingers, and the branches immediately took root in place, wriggling and multiplying, and in no time, they grew into a towering black tree dozens of meters tall.

Countless silver-white cherry blossoms bloomed on its branches, a breathtaking sight to behold.

A petal fell at a speed of five centimeters per second, landing gently in Xue Jing's palm.

"I shall name you— 'Dragon Cherry'."

Xue Jing murmured softly.

After finishing, he felt something was amiss.

Hidden Dragon School, Dragon Horn, Dragon Cherry...

"Damn, it makes me look like I'm obsessed with dragons, with more than half of my martial arts and skills related to dragons."
