Regaining Sight

Chapter 34: Seeing the Light Again

Excavating the dragon bones from the Dragon Burial Mound was a monumental undertaking. The true dragon's tail alone was hundreds of feet long, and it was covered in trees, shrubs, and thorny bushes. They had to dig out the soil and rocks bit by bit, clearing away the vegetation.

Su Yun and the four fox demons worked from sunrise to sunset. It took them over a month to completely clear the Dragon Burial Mound and fully reveal the dragon bones.

During this time, Su Yun took advantage of the high tides of the North Sea to go to the coast several times to catch Green Rainbow Crabs for money.

By the end of September, the sea breeze had become somewhat chilly. In October, the temperature plummeted, and the autumn wind was bleak. However, Tianmen Town still felt no coolness. It was located near the Dragon Burial Mound, which had many hot springs. The Crocodile Dragon Pool was a massive hot spring, keeping the area warm year-round.

The Crocodile Dragon Pool was also a treasure trove, nurturing many crocodiles and dragons.

The stream water in the Dragon Burial Mound was also warm. In late autumn and early winter, it would emit wisps of steam.

Su Yun and the four fox demons stood on a high point of the Dragon Burial Mound, gazing at the full view of the dragon bones in the valley.

Su Yun activated the Great Furnace Transformation, circulating his Blood Essence. He carefully guided his Blood Essence to his eyes. Within his pupils, the Immortal Sword and the imprint of Tianmen Town spun, receding to the sides.

Gradually, his vision shifted from darkness to light, from blurry to clear.

Su Yun greedily surveyed the Dragon Burial Mound, gazing at the dragon bones sprawled in the valley, at every blade of grass and tree, at the two houses at the head and tail. He then turned his head to examine the stone tablets scattered across the various hillsides. Finally, his gaze settled on the little fox beside him.

Although he couldn't maintain it for long and needed to close his eyes to recover his Origin Energy, the feeling of seeing the light again was truly wonderful!

Su Yun bowed to the dragon bones, straightened up, raised his hand, pointed at the dragon bones in the valley, filled with spirit, and laughed heartily, "Ge Ta!"

The four fox demons also bowed to the dragon bones, laughing heartily with clear voices, "Ge Ta!"

They began by observing the dragon bones from their full scope, examining their divine charm from different angles, and using their Blood Essence to simulate the structure of the true dragon.

Su Yun even took out the Immortal Rope and climbed into the air to observe the dragon bones' trajectory and the position of the dragon claws from a bird's-eye view.

Six days later, they approached and meticulously depicted the dragon's skeletal structure: tailbones, leg bones, toe bones, the inner cavity walls, the inner walls of the skull, and so on. Su Yun even examined the cross-section of the true dragon's bone marrow, studying its internal skeletal structure.

--This cross-section of the bone marrow was likely a wound inflicted by a Human Demon. The Human Demon, with its incredibly terrifying destructive power, had wounded the true dragon in dozens of places, causing it to be so severely injured that it couldn't recover!

During these days, Su Yun and the four fox demons ate, drank, and slept in the Dragon Burial Mound, dedicating themselves to their research. Only when the sun was about to set and the Dragon Spirit appeared did they leave the Dragon Burial Mound.

"A dragon's skeleton has far more bones than ours. The human body has only over two hundred bones, while a dragon's skeleton has one thousand and sixty-eight!"

Su Yun looked at the area beneath the dragon's body, his face flushing slightly. "There are bones even in that area, and there are scale-like barbs."

In the last two days, they had hit a bottleneck, unable to extract more knowledge from the dragon bones.

This was due to their insufficient accumulation.

With insufficient accumulation, even if billions in wealth were placed before them, they wouldn't recognize it; even if they stepped into a treasure mountain, they would return empty-handed.

The profound mysteries contained within the dragon bones were too numerous, yet also incredibly profound. Su Yun and Hua Hu had studied for many years in Mister Wild Fox's Village School, but their foundation was still inferior to that of the scholars at Tiandao Academy. They could only glean superficial knowledge from the dragon bones' form and structure, unable to grasp deeper mysteries.

Even so, their Crocodile Dragon's Roar and Flood Dragon's Chant had undergone earth-shattering changes!

Hua Hu was the first to successfully transition from the Crocodile Dragon's Roar to the Flood Dragon's Chant. His flood dragon was lifelike and vivid, its form and divine charm on par with Su Yun's. Although he was somewhat lacking compared to Su Yun, few scholars could achieve what he had.

The other three little foxes had also made significant progress, catching up to Hua Hu.

Originally, their Flood Dragon's Chant was all show and no substance, but now, with the bones, the power of their Flood Dragon's Chant had advanced by leaps and bounds!

"A true dragon has so many bones. The bones are connected to the muscles, meaning that the true dragon's tendons and muscles are also five times that of a human!"

Su Yun's scalp tingled. The difference in physical bodies between humans and dragons was not simply a matter of five times.

A dragon's bone density was five times that of a human, its bone count was five times that of a human, its tendons were five times that of a human, its muscles were five times that of a human, its breath was five times that of a human, its blood flow speed was five times that of a human. These numbers were not added but multiplied!

Furthermore, Su Yun had not yet accounted for the differences in internal organs like the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.

If these were calculated, the gap between humans and dragons would only be even greater!

"The only area where humans and dragons can shorten the gap is through their agile minds."

The young man's vision gradually dimmed. He gently closed his eyes. "This is why humans are the most intelligent beings. If we are inferior to dragons in all aspects of our bodies, then through research, we can master the profound mysteries of the dragon's power, turn the dragon into our own moves, into our own Spiritual Power, and strengthen our own bodies."

His clothes suddenly vibrated slightly. Then, his chest cavity expanded and contracted, the amplitude of the expansion and contraction growing larger and larger.

"Gug!"

"Gug! Gug!"

Dragon roars emanated from his chest. His back widened, and suddenly, a powerful surge of force tore through his clothes with a ripping sound!

Hua Hu and the other fox demons were startled. They saw that on Su Yun's back, muscles were arranged in vertical stripes, like ribs slanted into his spine!

His back had become twice as wide as usual, with more than double the usual muscle lines. Coupled with the taut tendons and bulging blood vessels, Su Yun's back displayed a violent beauty!

Swish--

Dragon tattoos emerged. The flood dragon bared its fangs and brandished its claws, swimming across his back, slowly stretching its body and coiling on his back.

However, compared to the dragon tattoos of the past, this time the dragon's tail was coiled on the outside, and its head was in the center. Combined with Su Yun's narrow waist and broad back, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, it resembled a grand mural of a dragon coiled on the celestial dome!

"Little Yun is using the true dragon's ribs on himself!"

Hua Hu immediately saw the trick. Su Yun hadn't grown true dragon ribs, but was simulating them with his Blood Essence, doubling the number of his own ribs.

Not only that, but he was also imitating more muscles and tendons with his Blood Essence!

He hadn't dissected a true dragon, only inferring the existence of these muscles and tendons from the dragon bones. But even so, it had caused his strength to explode!

Su Yun dispersed his Blood Essence, and his body returned to normal. The young man's facial muscles twitched. Hua Hu quickly asked, "Little Yun, is your Blood Essence acting up?"

"No, I'm missing another piece of clothing."

Su Yun looked regretful. The front of his clothes was fine, but the back had been torn into strips, which was quite cooling.

"I saved two new outfits for when I go to the city. If I wear them now, they won't be new when I get there."

The young man tied the tattered strips on his back together and said, "The people in the city will laugh at me."

A biting cold wind howled through the valley like a winter bugle. As Su Yun and the others emerged from the Dragon Burial Mound, large snowflakes began to fall from the sky.

Before the snowflakes could reach the Dragon Burial Mound, they were vaporized by the steaming heat and turned into raindrops, falling on them with a slight chill.

The further they walked, the colder it became. Su Yun and Hua Hu hurried back to Tianmen Town. Su Yun endured it for a while but couldn't help himself and changed into his new clothes ahead of time.

Affected by the Dragon Burial Mound, Tianmen Town wasn't experiencing snowfall, only rain. However, outside the town, the ground was quickly covered in a vast expanse of white snow, adorning the trees and blanketing the land in a scene of pure white.

The next morning, Su Yun woke up, put on his clothes, and opened the door. A cool breeze rushed in, dispelling the heat from his body.

Hua Hu and the other Fox Demons were not home. Su Yun opened the wooden gate and looked out. The ground in Tianmen Town was damp, and the sky was overcast. In the distance, a vast expanse of white snow covered the mountains, trees, and roads.

The sound of birds chirping could be heard from outside the town. Su Yun saw several large birds, half as tall as a person, perched on a tree in the distance. Not far below the tree, a few foxes were hunting in the snow.

Leading them was Hua Hu, who crouched in the snow with his head tilted, scanning his surroundings. Suddenly, as if spotting prey moving beneath the snow, Hua Hu leaped high into the air and dove headfirst, tail up.

His head was buried deep in the snow, with only his bushy tail sticking out.

The tail twitched restlessly a couple of times.

Hua Hu climbed out of the snowdrift, his nostrils bleeding. He must have hit a rock hidden beneath the snow, but in his mouth, he held a mole that had come out to forage in the snow.

This was the favorite food of the foxes in Tianshiyuan.

Li Xiaofan, Hu Buping, and Qingqiu Yue were also imitating Hua Hu in the snow. Sometimes they were lucky enough to catch a mole, and other times they ended up with bloody noses from hitting themselves.

Su Yun watched this scene with a sense of peace in his heart.

Just then, he suddenly froze, "My eyes..."

After a night's sleep, his vision had been restored.

Within him, the furnace in his body blazed fiercely. The flames were divided into six layers, with the outermost layer being pure blue.

Unknowingly, his Great Furnace Transformation: Qi Cultivation Chapter had reached the sixth level.

It was time for him to go, time to leave Tianmen Town.
