A spiraling dragon-shaped groove appeared where the hilt and blade of the Primal Chaos Greatsword met.
"What is this? Has the Primal Chaos Greatsword been damaged?"
Lu Chen stared at the dragon-shaped groove forming on the Primal Chaos Greatsword, utterly astonished.
"Roar..."
"No, the Primal Chaos Greatsword has mutated."
Wind Dragon let out a roar, and bones began forming within his translucent body.
Meridians and flesh.
Fur and scales.
"Roar..."
"I'm no longer an elemental body. I have a physical body now?"
Wind Dragon looked at his continuously forming body. He had clearly transformed from an energy elemental body into a body of flesh and blood.
"Could it be because of your blood?"
Wind Dragon turned to look at Lu Chen, his face full of disbelief. A method the Beast King had sought for countless years had actually been accomplished with a few blood pills.
"Wind Dragon, look at your meridians."
Wind Dragon's meridians had already formed, and a violent bluish-black aura circulated through them without end.
Wind Dragon: "This is the violent aura of the Primal Chaos Greatsword."
"Roar..."
Wind Dragon's physical body gradually took shape.
A violent aura formed around Wind Dragon and continuously battered the pill room.
With a sword cry, the Primal Chaos Greatsword broke free from Lu Chen's hand and plunged into the top of Wind Dragon's head.
"Roar..."
Wind Dragon roared as his body coiled and shrank. His dragon head and tail joined together, forming a disc.
"Bang..."
The Primal Chaos Greatsword and the round disc fell to the floor.
"Wind Dragon, are you alright?"
Lu Chen hurriedly stepped forward and picked up the Primal Chaos Greatsword and the dragon-shaped disc.
"Mmh... I'm fine. That sword strike just now seemed to strengthen the connection between me and the Primal Chaos Greatsword."
The dragon-shaped disc flew from Lu Chen's hand and transformed back into a dragon body.
"Huh? It seems my body can freely transform between a disc and a dragon body."
As he spoke, Wind Dragon transformed into a dragon-shaped disc again.
"Wind Dragon, I know what this is now."
Lu Chen looked at the dragon-shaped groove that had appeared on the Primal Chaos Greatsword and placed the dragon-shaped disc inside it.
"Roar..."
One green and one black dragon-shaped phantom appeared, spiraling forward along the blade.
Their dragon heads met at the sword tip, while their tails connected to the disc.
Lu Chen swung the Primal Chaos Greatsword, and waves of dragon roars came from within it.
"Wind Dragon, how do you feel?"
As Lu Chen swung the Primal Chaos Greatsword, he asked Wind Dragon.
His attacks carried two dragon phantoms that struck alongside them.
"I feel pretty good. My fusion with the Primal Chaos Greatsword has deepened."
"That's good. I think I understand this sword's function now."
Lu Chen removed the dragon-shaped disc from the sword and summoned the Twin Fish Plate from his Heavenly Pool.
"Looks like I was right. This disc is the same size as the Twin Fish Plate."
Lu Chen slowly spoke as he looked at the Twin Fish Plate in his hand.
After the Twin Fish Plate obtained the Yang Sea Pearl and Yin Sea Pearl, the balance of yin and yang between them had been achieved.
At this moment, one black and one white fish joined head to tail, forming a clear yin-yang taiji diagram.
The Yang Sea Pearl and Yin Sea Pearl in the fishes' eyes emitted red and blue light respectively.
"Little Lu, hurry up and try it."
Wind Dragon had already transformed back into his dragon body. He circled above Lu Chen's head, constantly urging him to give it a try.
"Alright."
Lu Chen brought the Twin Fish Token close to the Primal Chaos Greatsword, and the dragon-shaped groove directly turned into a twin-fish groove.
"Bang..."
The Twin Fish Plate fitted tightly into the groove.
A red and a blue beam emerged from the fish eyes, extending straight from them to the sword tip.
Lu Chen turned the Twin Fish Token, facing the Black Fish forward. Huge flames covered the sword blade.
"Ha..."
Lu Chen swung his sword, and the tables and chairs around him were instantly incinerated.
Lu Chen turned the Twin Fish Token, facing the White Fish forward. Several zhang of freezing air sprayed from the fish eyes.
"This feels like the same principle as controlling summoned spirits, but it's far more powerful than that."
Lu Chen felt the chill on the sword blade and spoke.
Wind Dragon said, "Do you feel anything else unusual? I feel that as long as I'm on the sword, I can sense your will to attack."
"That's indeed the case. This move lets me and the sword become one. Wind Dragon, have you ever seen an attack method like this before?"
Lu Chen pried the Twin Fish Token off the Primal Chaos Greatsword, turned, and spoke to Wind Dragon.
"I always feel that this sword has other uses waiting for us to develop."
Holding the Primal Chaos Greatsword, Lu Chen could not help recalling that enormous sword capable of destroying heaven and earth.
"There are as many cultivators beneath heaven as carp crossing a river, and the cultivation methods they create all differ. But a method like this, combining demon beasts with weapons, truly has never been seen before."
"Forget it. There are still many things waiting for me. I'll think about this later."
Lu Chen shook his head and looked at Wind Dragon. "Wind Dragon, what is your cultivation level now?"
"Hm? Let me see."
Wind Dragon sensed himself, then looked at Lu Chen with an expression of utter disbelief.
"Wind Dragon, what's wrong?"
Seeing Wind Dragon's awkward expression, Lu Chen asked.
"All my spiritual energy is gone. What circulates through my meridians now is wind element and violent aura."
"How could that happen? Then can you sense what stage your current cultivation ability is at?"
"Yes, I can. The power I can use is at the initial stage of the Qi Descending Realm."
Wind Dragon condensed a violent wind sphere before him.
After thinking for a moment, he added, "But I can feel the violent aura inside the Primal Chaos Greatsword constantly fusing with me. Once the fusion is complete, my cultivation can rise another level beyond what it was before."
Listening to Wind Dragon, Lu Chen secretly rejoiced.
Wind Dragon's increase in strength also meant that his chances of finding his grandfather had increased by another measure.
"I need to sort out my current state. Take a walk around my residence. Oh, and give your new move a name."
After saying that, Wind Dragon walked into the bagua enclosure formed by the medicine racks and began restoring himself.
Lu Chen looked at the Primal Chaos Greatsword in his hand, recalling the feeling of placing the disc into it. An idea surfaced in his mind.
"Since this Primal Chaos Greatsword can both hold a disc inside it and attack, why not call it 'Kamen Rider'?"
"Hahaha, 'Kamen Rider'—what a vivid and fitting name."
Lu Chen summoned the Twin Fish Plate and shouted, "Kamen Rider!"
The Twin Fish Token automatically flew up and clicked into the Primal Chaos Greatsword.
Red and blue light instantly wrapped around the Primal Chaos Greatsword.
"It even has an automatic function. This sword is truly user-friendly."
Lu Chen removed the Twin Fish Token again and repeatedly tested the Primal Chaos Greatsword's other functions.
Lu Chen left the pill room and began wandering casually around Wind Dragon's chambers.
Wind Dragon's residence looked enormous, but there were only three rooms inside.
Standing at the door of the eastern pill room, Lu Chen held a compass and pondered which room he should visit first.
"East against west, favorable departure to the southwest."
"Then I'll first take a look at the northern room. With my damned luck, I should do the opposite."
Lu Chen walked straight to the northernmost room and pushed the door open.
Mountains of gold coins and jewels surged toward Lu Chen, burying him outright.
"Hahaha, I told you! If departure to the southwest is favorable, then I should go northwest."
Lu Chen crawled out from the pile of gold coins, his face full of excitement.
"The storytellers always said dragons had a hoarding obsession with jewels. Looks like it's true. Now it's all mine."
Lu Chen grabbed gold coins with both hands and stuffed them into his clothes, muttering nonstop, "I'm only taking a little, just a tiny bit. Once I make money later, I'll return it to you."
Lu Chen stuffed his entire body full of gold coins, then raised his head to look toward the western room.
"Now I'll take a look in the west. Even if my luck is a little worse, I won't lose anything. Maybe there'll be other gains."
Lu Chen pushed open the western door.
A sharp, piercing force rushed straight at him.
"These are... magical treasures? Techniques?"
Lu Chen looked at the scene before him, trembling so hard he could barely speak.
In the center of the fifty-meter room lay a heap of all kinds of magical treasure weapons.
Around it stood nearly a thousand bookshelves of varying sizes, all filled with secret manuals of techniques.
"Hahaha, I've struck it rich! Favorable departure to the southwest—it really is favorable departure to the southwest."
"I never imagined Wind Dragon had stored so many treasures. If they were all exchanged for land, how many plots would that be?"
Lu Chen ran swiftly to the center of the room.
He threw himself onto the pile of magical treasures and picked up the treasures on the ground one after another.
"I've struck it rich, I've struck it rich."
Lu Chen churned and swam through the pile of magical treasures.
Half an hour later.
Lu Chen rose from the pile of magical treasures and walked toward the shelves full of manuals.
Lu Chen entered the first row of shelves.
A chaotic pile of technique scrolls had been tossed beneath the shelves, emitting dense fluctuations of spiritual energy.
Cloud Overturning Palm, Longevity Technique, Wind Thunder Leg, Lightning Drawing Technique...
"Ahhh... A whole floor of technique manuals! These are manuals people outside would fight over!"
"I never thought that here with Wind Dragon, they wouldn't even make it onto the shelves."
"What a pity. Then I might as well benefit from them. They're discarded things anyway."
With a regretful expression, Lu Chen silently picked up every manual on the floor and stuffed them into his pockets.
Lu Chen raised his head and saw that the manuals on the shelves were marked Earth Tier.
"Ah, fuck! Low-grade Earth Tier, high-grade Earth Tier."
Looking at the Earth Tier manuals filling his vision, Lu Chen silently threw away the Mortal Tier manuals on his body.
He muttered, "It's not that I don't want you. Wind Dragon threw you on the ground, so naturally he must have had his reasons."
Lu Chen picked up Earth Tier manuals as he walked forward.
When Lu Chen reached the second section, a fiery red flash streaked past.
"There are actually Human Tier manual fluctuations here!!"
Lu Chen rubbed his eyes. He had heard that manuals above Earth Tier would gradually develop spiritual power and emit their own unique glow.
Lu Chen continued onward, and row after row of manuals began flashing with light.
Lights of every color flickered, nearly blinding Lu Chen.
"They're all Human Tier manuals. It seems the storytellers were right when they said dragons all had a collecting obsession."
As Lu Chen fantasized about Wind Dragon, he continuously took manuals from the shelves.
"Wind Dragon, you're the one who told me to wander around freely. I'm only taking a little. I'll return them to you someday."
Lu Chen went all the way through, continuously taking manuals.
"Little Lu, are those manuals heavy?"
Wind Dragon had already familiarized himself with his physical condition and appeared behind Lu Chen.
"Not heavy, not heavy. I can still carry them."
Lu Chen was immersed in the magical treasures and manuals, completely unaware that Wind Dragon had appeared behind him.
