Amazing. Absolutely amazing. So damn amazing!

Su Bo savored the Dragon Marrow Fruit as he bit into it, a scorching gleam rising in the depths of his eyes as he looked at the new attributes and data on the panel.

Sixth Refinement. The sixth refinement of the Physical Body Realm. Forty-nine strands of condensed blood qi, containing a tremendous force of 49,000 kilograms.

Feeling the Blood Qi Dragon within him, formed from the convergence of all his blood qi, Su Bo took only a thought to completely gain control over his vastly increased strength.

The mastery-level Baxia Coiling Dragon Stance gave him absolute control over his physical body and blood qi.

There was no need to worry that his suddenly increased strength would become difficult to control.

Having brought his surging strength under control...

Su Bo took out the last Dragon Marrow Fruit.

Liu Yue had given him three Dragon Marrow Fruits, and he had only eaten two.

This one could still condense several more strands of blood qi!

"Isn't he afraid he'll explode?" Liu Yue's handsome face twisted.

"Yi You, is he planning to break through the organ barrier directly?"

Watching Su Bo break through again and again, leaping from the fourth refinement of the Physical Body Realm straight to the sixth, he was beginning to doubt his life.

Could Dragon Marrow Fruits be eaten like this?

For the three refinements of the sinew-and-bone barrier, he had eaten one Dragon Marrow Fruit for each refinement. It had taken him nearly a month to completely refine their medicinal effects.

Even that speed of refining the Dragon Marrow Fruits had only been possible because his stance art had reached major mastery, supplemented by the power of his Heavenly Eye.

That was why he had managed to complete the three refinements of the sinew-and-bone barrier within a month!

Otherwise, refining three Dragon Marrow Fruits would have taken him at least two months.

And Su Bo?

He had refined two Dragon Marrow Fruits in mere moments, condensed blood qi, tempered his body, and bulldozed his way through the fifth and sixth refinements of the Physical Body Realm!

Even cheating wasn't supposed to work like this, was it?

Liu Yue glanced at Yi You's equally stunned face, then looked toward the Withered-Bone Demon Corpses trapped by him, stumbling around like headless flies.

These things were no longer any fun.

Kill them...

A tiny slit opened in the Silver-Pattern Heavenly Eye between his brows.

The light emitted by a point of silver radiance fell upon the Withered-Bone Demon Corpses. Their movements halted, and their bodies gradually turned into silver-white motes of light that scattered away.

Su Bo finished the last Dragon Marrow Fruit.

He frowned, somewhat dissatisfied with the fruit's effects.

The immense vital essence contained in the first two Dragon Marrow Fruits had allowed him to condense more than ten strands of blood qi. By merging them into the Blood Qi Dragon, he had directly broken through the bottlenecks of the fifth and sixth refinements.

But this Dragon Marrow Fruit...

Blood Qi: 51 strands

The vast amount of vital essence had only made the Blood Qi Dragon slightly stronger.

However, Su Bo noticed that the dragon blood within his body had also benefited from the Dragon Marrow Fruit, causing roughly ten percent of his blood qi to transform into dragon blood.

Even without activating the power of his dragon blood through his trait, a faint dragon's might now lingered around him.

"D-Dragon's might?" Yi You froze completely.

"Isn't he an Ancient Human?" Liu Yue shot him a glance.

From the moment they first saw him, Su Bo's appearance, build, and bloodline had made it obvious that he was an Ancient Human.

He was not one of the other human races within the Federation.

Yet this dragon's might completely overturned their previous assumptions.

The Human-Dragon Race ranked seventh in the Pan-Human Federation. The Dragonfolk Race had close ties with the Pan-Human Federation, but was not included in the Federation's rankings.

On the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield, they were more often referred to as a branch of the dragon race.

When Su Bo opened his eyes, two huge faces had appeared before him. Instinctively, he threw out both fists at once!

"Ah... that hurts! How are you so fast?"

"My face..."

Two screams rang out almost simultaneously.

Su Bo at the sixth refinement of the Physical Body Realm was not merely a little stronger than Su Bo at the fourth refinement. He was exponentially stronger.

With 51,000 kilograms of force, even though he had not thrown those two punches with full strength...

The tremendous force generated by his terrifying punch speed directly sent the two flying. Their bodies traced graceful arcs before falling into the dark depths.

After quite a while...

Beside the great cauldron, Yi You, sporting two black eyes, dragged over a bundle of Nethershade Wood. His face was filled with resentment, and he occasionally glared at someone sitting beneath a tree.

It hurt. Both eyes felt sore and swollen.

Su Bo ignored the two fools. They simply never learned.

They had just been punched by him, yet they had forgotten it in the blink of an eye and squatted down in front of him again. Weren't they asking to be hit?

"Brother Su, are you really an Ancient Human?" Liu Yue rubbed his handsome face.

It had to be said, the Celestial Human Race really did have incredible looks. Even Su Bo had to admit that this guy was a little more handsome than him.

He just lacked some of Su Bo's masculine vigor and gave off a somewhat effeminate air.

"Genuine article!" Su Bo answered without hesitation.

The dragon blood in his body came from his stance art reaching mastery and the dragon blood granted by its trait. Before that, he had undoubtedly been a pure human.

Yi You tossed the Nethershade Wood beneath the cauldron. The flames surged up fiercely, cooking the Soul Vine inside.

"Impossible!" He flung out a hand and shouted.

"Other than their exceptionally powerful comprehension, the Ancient Human Race's physical talent might not even rank highly within the Federation."

"Condensing nine strands of blood qi in the first refinement to temper your body—it must be because of your dragon bloodline." Yi You was extremely agitated.

"Perhaps Brother Su is a lost descendant of the Human-Dragon Race?" Liu Yue spoke after thinking for a moment.

"Similar things have happened within the Federation before. Some supreme martial experts fell in the stars, and traces of their bloodline essence landed on certain life planets..."

Yi You also fell into thought.

Indeed, similar things had happened before.

If the bloodline essence of a martial expert fell upon a life planet, and a fetus carried by a pregnant woman happened to fuse with that trace of bloodline essence...

Then it could indeed be considered a descendant of that fallen expert.

Its bloodline would merely be somewhat thinner, inferior to the true bloodline descendants that expert had left within their clan.

However, Su Bo's bloodline was clearly extraordinary. That faint dragon's might was enough to make even the direct descendants of their two great races feel somewhat fearful.

Only a bloodline as powerful as Su Bo's could allow him to cultivate the Physical Body Realm to its utmost limit.

"Is that so?" Su Bo fell silent.

"Perhaps it is~"

The panel could grant martial art traits and generate dragon blood out of thin air. If anyone investigated its origins, it would never hold up to scrutiny.

It was better to just let them believe what they had said.

After all, he came from a planet with an underdeveloped martial civilization. Not knowing many things was perfectly normal.

After pondering for a moment, Liu Yue asked curiously, "Brother Su, I've never asked—which life planet are you from?"

"Red River Star!" Su Bo did not hide it.

"Red River Star?" Liu Yue and Yi You looked at each other.

Where was Red River Star?

They went over the more powerful, famous, and even distinctive life planets controlled by the Ancient Human Race again and again.

They were certain that none of them was called Red River Star.

Wait... Yi You suddenly seemed to recall something.

"Brother Su, you asked me before whether I was a Martial Alliance martial artist... Is Red River Star one of the life planets under the Martial Alliance?" Yi You's expression turned strange.

Martial Alliance... Liu Yue remembered as well, and his expression became equally odd.

It seemed to be one of the major powers of the Ancient Human Race within the Federation, founded by a sixth-realm expert.

Ordinarily, he would not remember a force founded by a sixth-realm expert.

But the reason he remembered this force...

About ten thousand years ago, and again three thousand years ago, two major events had shaken the Federation. Within the Federation, they had vaguely been recorded as tribal betrayal and internal turmoil.

Due to the impact of the events that occurred at those two points in time...

Several dozen Ancient Human life planets had been judged by the Federation and designated as sin stars.

The humans on those sin stars were all convicted as sinners!

Among them, there seemed to be a planet whose name was Red River.

"Yes..." Su Bo answered casually.

"Is there a problem?"
