Lesser Dragon Blood Shell
Following the stone steps of the Hanging Tower back to the student living area, Lu Yuan paused as soon as he arrived at the door of his two-story house. He saw several sturdy wooden boxes neatly stacked on the stone steps in front of the door.
On the lid of the top wooden box was a note on a parchment with handwritten characters. The handwriting was extremely elegant and flamboyant, and the signature at the bottom was Gregory.
Lu Yuan bent down, peeled off the note, and glanced at it. Gregory wrote that the box contained the first batch of Triple-Layer Blast Bomb made based on Lu Yuan's latest research. After his initial detonation test, they had achieved quite good results. However, the innermost third explosion might still fail.
Having heard that Lu Yuan was leaving the Academy for fieldwork the next day, Gregory specially arranged for the first batch of finished products to be delivered in advance, so that Lu Yuan could take them with him for self-defense on the road.
According to the test results on the note, this bomb has considerable destructive power against Third Order Transcendence. Second Order would be blown away on the spot if they took full damage head-on. However, it has little effect against Fourth Order powerhouses, except for special Pathway where the physical body is particularly fragile.
At the end of the note, Gregory emphasized a passage, repeatedly reminding Lu Yuan that the third layer of the experimental samples was extremely unstable and should be used with extreme caution. Sometimes it would take a long time to explode, sometimes it would simply misfire, and sometimes it would explode immediately when connected to the second layer.
Please pay close attention during subsequent practical use. As long as you don't inject sanity into it, it generally won't explode on its own. At the end of this sentence, Gregory added a parenthesis, somewhat guiltily, with the words "not guaranteed".
Lu Yuan casually pried open the box and glanced inside. Seeing the ten large, round metal bombs, each too big to be held in one hand, neatly arranged, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes and mutter to himself:
"Can these ones really be stable?"
Despite his complaints, since Gregory had offered him something for free, Lu Yuan naturally accepted it all. At the same time, he couldn't help but marvel at how well-informed Gregory was in the courtyard, managing to find out so quickly that he was leaving the next day.
These ten powerful Alchemy Bomb arrived just in time. I can take them with me tomorrow to boost my regular firepower. I can't just tear apart the Sea of Knowledge by attacking any Tom, Dick, or Harry I encounter outside, can I?
If someone were to target you for frequently using the Sea of Knowledge, that would be a real problem.
After all, Lu Yuan himself possessed the means to Deprivation others of their real names, and given the suggestive instructions given by the Rock Grand Knight Commander, no one could guarantee that those high-level experts or strange beings outside didn't possess similar bizarre abilities.
Moreover, Lu Yuan's name isn't easy to hide among the Night Watcher and the Academy. If someone were to accidentally steal his name and capture him one day, it would be quite a joke. Therefore, until he truly becomes invincible, he should try to keep a low profile when he goes out.
Lu Yuan imagined what it would be like to be invincible in the future, but quickly put his mind at ease, picked up his suitcase, pushed open the door and went inside. He began to take stock of the items he needed to bring on this trip.
Besides the freshly made Tide-Attracting Scent Balm, the alchemy manual given to me by the String Knight, the Kungu's Wish Box given to me by Frey, the ten Triple-Layer Blast Bomb given to me by Gregory, as well as two Leaf of Hope I keep close to my body and some common spare potions, I will also be taking these with me on this trip.
Lu Yuan also remembered to put the Consciousness Crystal that was meant to feed the Worm of Knowledge into the bag, but the Worm of Knowledge had been too busy sleeping under the Authority lately to really gnaw on the stone.
As for those indispensable items I carry with me, such as the custom-made Enchanted Revolver Flame, the Awakening Coat on my shoulder, the Stonefire Gauntlet on my wrist, the four Fire Talisman, the Copper Whistle given to me by the Dwarf and the Dwarf Coin that I've never used, the Bone Flute and Sandworm Oil Lamp from Sandworm Town, the Sanity Ring, the Holy Light Stone, and the Stonefire Pouch containing the Heat Eater's core and two outer shells.
Lu Yuan carefully sorted and stored all the special materials related to the Sea of Knowledge he had smuggled out of the Academy's Storehouse for setting up the Northern Territory outpost, as well as the dark gold token and Parchment Scroll given to him by the Rock Grand Knight Commander of Rock.
After packing all his belongings, Lu Yuan didn't rush to bed. Instead, he took out the three bottles of Diluted Version Dragon Blood Potion that were sealed in the crystal bottle.
Calculating the time, it had been quite a few days since he last drank the first bottle of Dragon Blood Potion. The first wave of medicinal effects remaining in his Flesh had long been completely digested by his body. Now it was just the time window that Oden had instructed him to take one bottle every three to five days.
Lu Yuan took out the second bottle of Diluted Version Dragon Blood Potion, put the remaining two bottles away, then pulled out the crystal stopper, tilted his head back, and drank the dark red, viscous liquid inside in one gulp.
The scalding hot liquid, like magma, slid down his throat into his stomach. In an instant, the domineering and fierce medicinal power exploded throughout Lu Yuan's limbs and bones, pushing his bones and muscle fibers to rapidly transform into something more resilient and powerful.
While enduring the cracking, tingling, and aching pain in his bones, Lu Yuan kept his eyes glued to the bottom of his field of vision, determined to see clearly what those Gray-White Text that had flickered but failed to fully appear when he drank the first bottle were.
Just as the second bottle of medicine completely merged with the body's existing foundation, the line of Gray-White Text at the very bottom of the vision, which had been flickering, finally solidified and manifested completely:
[You have gained a new passive skill: Lesser Dragon Blood Shell (1/3)]
[Various high-grade Flesh and mineral potions have settled and intertwined within your body. Your bones and body have absorbed the characteristics of a special Flesh, granting you partial resistance derived from this entity and a certain degree of immunity to bodily damage.]
Lu Yuan stared at the Gray-White Text that popped up in front of him and the long line of introduction that followed. He carefully felt the strange coating that had suddenly appeared on his skin and between his bones. He couldn't help but raise his hand and clench his fist tightly. A solid sense of power, which he had never felt before, came from his knuckles.
What surprised Lu Yuan the most was that this time he actually unlocked a brand new passive skill. It seems that the trace of Immortality offspring bloodline remaining in the Dragon Blood Potion Dragonblood Resin, has finally come into full play after being stacked with two bottles.
