Demon Alliance and Dragon Blood Warrior

The news of the Black Dragon breaking free from its seal didn't just spread throughout Duolong City.

It also became widely known within the demon monster community.

Demon monsters have always revered strength, and they tracked the aura released by the Black Dragon, coming to pay their respects to the king of demon monsters.

The Black Dragon Elphis had no interest in demon monsters whose strength was far inferior to its own.

In its eyes, these demon monsters were only fit to be its food.

However, ever since tasting the Dark Crystals provided by Han Wu, the Black Dragon Elphis could no longer stand any other flavor.

To obtain more Dark Crystals, it had no choice but to follow Han Wu's commands, patiently enduring the worship of other demon monsters.

At this time, Han Wu stepped forward, leveraging the Black Dragon's power, and organized the demon monsters whose strength had reached the third-tier and above.

Adventurers had been oppressing demon monsters for a long time, and the demon monsters had long wanted to fight back.

However, due to the mistrust between different species, they had never been able to unite.

But today was different. Under the call of the great rebel, the Black Dragon Elphis, many demon monsters gathered, achieving the first-ever demon monster alliance.

The Black Dragon Elphis squatted on the main seat, exuding the majesty befitting a Black Dragon.

Under this terrifying majesty, even the Treant Sage, the strongest among the demon monsters present with a level of 105, dared not show any sign of resistance.

Han Wu became the leader of this meeting.

As his gaze swept over all the demon monsters present, Han Wu was in an excellent mood.

Although he couldn't make them his subordinates in a short period, making them work for him under the Black Dragon's pressure was still very easy.

Thus, Han Wu called for the united demon monsters to establish a demon monster alliance to oppose the Adventurer's Guild.

Its ideology was to hunt adventurers.

When the demon monsters heard this, they were instantly energized.

Adventurers had been lording over them for more than a year or two. Which species hadn't had their kind slaughtered by adventurers?

However, adventurers were empowered by the Power of Profession and protected by the will of civilization, making their strength far superior to that of demon monsters.

Overthrowing them was almost like dreaming.

In response to this, Han Wu made a promise.

As the proponent of the demon monster alliance, he had a way to help demon monsters break through their racial strength bottlenecks and achieve rapid improvement.

Saying this, Han Wu produced an Energy Crystal.

The pure Energy Crystal emitted an incredibly sweet aroma, causing the demon monsters present to swallow repeatedly.

If not for the Black Dragon's intimidating presence, they would have rushed forward long ago to snatch the Energy Crystal from Han Wu's hand.

The Black Dragon glanced at the demon monsters present and scoffed internally: To be so flustered by just one Energy Crystal? The great rebel Black Dragon Elphis has more than ten of them here? Hmph, a bunch of country bumpkins who have never seen the world.

Seeing that the atmosphere was right, Han Wu began to explain the demon monster alliance system he had devised.

The demon monster alliance would use Energy Crystals as rewards. Demon monsters of various races could exchange equipment and Professional Fragments obtained from killing adventurers for Energy Crystals from Han Wu.

To make these demon monsters work even harder, Han Wu gave each of them an Energy Crystal of the corresponding attribute in advance.

After absorbing the Energy Crystals, the demon monsters uniformly reacted: Delicious, I want another one.

Many low-level demon monsters actually leveled up on the spot after absorbing one Energy Crystal, reaching a new peak in their strength.

Witnessing the power of the Energy Crystals, and bound by the Black Dragon's pressure and the promise of benefits, the demon monsters agreed to join the demon monster alliance and actively engage in hunting adventurers.

In the following days, Han Wu was truly swimming in wealth.

His retinue, the Locusts, had become his information network for exchanging materials with the various demon monsters.

Every day, swarms of Locusts would bring large amounts of Professional Fragments and captured equipment to Han Wu.

Han Wu would then distribute an appropriate amount of Energy Crystals as rewards for the demon monsters' successful hunts of adventurers.

Both sides were in harmony.

Of course, the foundation of this relationship relied on the presence of the powerful Black Dragon guarding them.

Without the Black Dragon, the demon monsters would have long ago lost their patience and hunted Han Wu to obtain more Energy Crystals.

After all, demon monsters that dared to risk killing adventurers were not to be trifled with.

Han Wu also used the weapons and Professional Fragments he obtained to cultivate his own retinue.

Through extensive resource investment, the Locust retinue's strength had greatly improved.

Two Heroic Lifeform Locust People had obtained suitable third-tier professions, and their levels soared to 85, and they were still improving.

Additionally, 32 other Locust People, with the help of the Power of Profession, had broken through level 60.

Han Wu himself, benefiting from the feedback of his retinue, had his level leap to 105.

With such strength, Han Wu felt unprecedentedly powerful, capable of snapping a hundred-year-old ancient tree in half with a casual strike.

However, Han Wu understood that he was still lacking compared to adventurers of the same level in Duolong City.

This deficiency was mainly reflected in his skill usage.

The skills of professional adventurers have been used thousands of times, with excellent control over force, angle, and timing.

However, Han Wu's skills were his weakness. Growth Acceleration was for support, Life Sacrifice could only be used once a day and was restricted to his own retinue. His only offensive skill, Summon Fairy Shortbow, was merely equivalent to carrying a ranged Divine Power Weapon.

After much thought, Han Wu decided he too would use the Power of Profession to enhance himself.

Based on his situation, Han Wu chose Warrior as his basic profession, gaining the talent Battle Intent. Effect: Increases physical performance by 10%. Mastered skills: Heavy Strike, Mighty Slash.

For his first transfer, he chose Demon Warrior, gaining the talent Elemental Sense. Effect: Increases resistance to various elements by 20%. Mastered skills: Fire Infusion, Ice Infusion, Light Infusion, Shadow Infusion.

For his second transfer, he chose Dragon Blood Warrior, gaining the talent Dragon Blood. Effect: Increases physical performance by 20%, increases resistance to various elements by 20%, strength enhanced. Mastered skill: Tyrant Dragon Slash.

As for his third transfer, Han Wu didn't have the means.

This was mainly because very few professional adventurers among those he had defeated reached the third transfer, making it impossible to gather enough complete third-transfer professions.

However, the Black Dragon sensed the faint scent of Dragon Blood emanating from Han Wu and proactively offered to help.

The prerequisite was that Han Wu had to pay 1000 Dark Crystals.

Han Wu didn't have that many Dark Crystals. After some haggling, they settled on 500 Dark Crystals, payable in installments.

Even so, the Black Dragon was still very excited, feeling like it had struck a great deal.

After agreeing on the terms, the Black Dragon began its assistance.

Its method was to find a large pot, fill it with its own blood, and have Han Wu soak in it for a full day.

At that time, the Black Dragon's blood would replace the diluted Dragon Blood within Han Wu, granting him strength comparable to a third-transfer professional.

Han Wu complied.

Han Wu soaked in the somewhat fishy-smelling Black Dragon blood for a full day.

During this time, the Black Dragon, under the guise of accelerating absorption, added a fire beneath the large pot.

This made Han Wu truly experience what it meant to be "stewed in an iron pot."

Although the process was somewhat comical, the effect was remarkably good.

By completely replacing the diluted Dragon Blood in his body with Black Dragon Blood, Han Wu's second-transfer profession automatically advanced to the third transfer.

Dragon Blood Warrior!

Gained talent: Black Dragon Blood. Effect: Increases physical performance by 50%, increases resistance to various elements by 50%, strength greatly enhanced, gains affinity with the dark element.

Mastered skill: Dragon Transformation.

Upon activating the skill, Han Wu heard his bones creak and pop, his muscles felt a swelling pain, and his skin gradually turned black and hardened.

After three seconds, the physical changes stopped.

Han Wu had completely transformed into a humanoid Black Dragon.

His entire body was covered in extremely defensive black dragon scales, a pair of strong and powerful dragon wings grew from his back, and his muscles swelled, as if possessing the power to destroy everything.

Han Wu felt this immense power, and his status panel appeared before his eyes.

The panel background was black.

Han Wu looked at his current template with satisfaction. He felt he now had the strength to go to Duolong City and challenge a Hero solo.
