Abnormality Overcoming Really Seems to Work

"Grandpa, are we doing that again today?" "Yes, we're doing it today too. Go get ready." "I'm so tired! Can't I take a day off? Master You Fei wants me to go to training." "Stop rambling, let's get going!" In the early morning in Black Rock City, the residents, who had gotten up early, were yawning, and many of them looked up at the sky. Sure enough, just as the sky was beginning to brighten and the mist and dew hadn't yet dissipated, a golden shooting star streaked across the sky. It headed straight towards the portal to the Zane Dungeon. Seeing this golden shooting star, people felt relieved, and their day began. Some even discussed the shooting star animatedly. "Was that the chieftain of the Bipedal Dragon who just passed by?" "Yeah, he used to be such a big shot, rarely seen, but now we see him every day." "To be precise, not every day, maybe every day or two." "What do you think he was doing in the Zane Dungeon? What's so special about it that made him go there personally?" The discussion culminated in a sigh as people shook their heads. "Such a fine dragon, and he's been infected by Sien." "By the way, have you heard the rumors about the harmful effects of Glintstone Magic? And Crystallization Magic too..." E'luo flew through the sky, holding Abei in his hand, but he could hear the conversation below perfectly. He had no interest in the rumors about the dungeon; he was only interested in the Zane Dungeon itself. Or rather, in Gui'aoer in Caelid. Before the portal where adventurers gathered, E'luo, transformed into a golden flash, darted inside with Abei. He then effortlessly teleported through the Dragon Breath Ruins to the Sellia Crystal Tunnel, then rampaged through it, finally flying directly to the Dragon Graveyard region where Gui'aoer was located. He had calculated that this route was faster than first going to Water Summon Village to summon a portal to the Beast Temple and then running to the Dragon Graveyard. The Zane Dungeon normally had countermeasures for adventurers who flew for extended periods, but when E'luo began flying, these countermeasures were only symbolically activated before being quickly discontinued. After all, the opponent was so strong that conventional countermeasures were merely a drop in the ocean, practically useless. And given the frequency with which the opponent entered each day, using the highest level of countermeasures every time would be a waste of Spirit Power, so he simply went ahead and used them directly. Once he reached the Dragon Graveyard and saw Gui'aoer's body, E'luo released Abei, letting him float in the air and retching. "This is a necessary condition for becoming stronger," he patted Abei's back, offering words of comfort. He had barely finished comforting her when he grabbed her with lightning speed and shot her straight at Gui'aoer. Gui'aoer had just opened her mouth to roar when a golden meteor burst into her throat in an instant, which she instinctively swallowed. Stunned for two seconds, Gui'aoer gradually came to her senses. What the hell had she just swallowed??? Meanwhile, the two dragons that had successfully entered Gui'aoer's body entered the familiar chaotic space again. "What kind of dragons will we encounter this time? You're really looking forward to it, aren't you, grandson?" E'luo rubbed his hands together, eager for a fight. Abei remained silent, only nervously rubbing his hands. These past few days, he had witnessed E'luo completely master Gui'aoer. Gui'aoer's body seemed to possess a unique, anomalous space. Entering it would randomly lead to different monsters, all of which were dragons, and then one could engage in battle with them. It was important to note that entering this random dragon challenge area required surviving at least one of Gui'aoer's Roar at close range. Aside from the elite human powerhouses, only dragons seem capable of this, their superior physical abilities providing an advantage. Recently, E'luo has been engrossed in battling these random dragons. However, calling it pure indulgence wouldn't be accurate, as E'luo came with a purpose, and a very important one at that. Light pierced through the chaos, and the two dragons were transported out of the chaos after only a short wait, arriving at the ruins. Under the bright Blood Moon, the elegant yet deadly dragons, like vampires, stood bathed in its light, surrounded by fluttering Blood-Devouring Insect. "Good luck, Silver Knight Dragon." Although not the Primal Silver Knight Dragon, but Silver Knight Dragon more closely related to the Blood-Devouring Insect, E'luo showed no disappointment. He was hoping for monsters related to aberration, and a Silver Knight Dragon was naturally the best choice! Before the Silver Knight Dragon launched its attack, the Blood-Devouring Insect had already tentatively flown towards E'luo and Abei from all directions. They could have easily driven them away with a simple move, protecting themselves. However, neither of them did so. Instead, they proactively extended their claws to meet the Blood-Devouring Insect, allowing them to parasitize their bodies and drain their life force. The moment the Blood-Devouring Insect pounced, the symptoms of their mutation appeared, making them even more frenzied and aggressive. However, relying on the innate strong willpower of dragons, they wouldn't succumb immediately. "Go on, Abei, let me see the results of your special training these past few days," E'luo said, deeply sensing the Blood-Devouring Insect in his body, while patting Abei on the shoulder. Even though he was somewhat agitated, Abe still slumped over his shoulders and reluctantly walked towards the Silver Knight Dragon, saying, "I'll take care of you, Grandpa!" The battle instantly began. Just as Abei had said, with his high level of self-awareness, he was no match for the Silver Knight Dragon; E'luo had to handle it himself. In less than ten minutes, Abei's body was already covered in wounds, and he had no strength left to suppress the frenzy caused by the Blood-Devouring Insect. He roared furiously to the sky and suddenly pounced on the Silver Knight Dragon, knocking it to the ground! Was he recovering? Was he about to unleash his full power? No, he had only pounced on the Silver Knight Dragon, and the next moment he was the one kneeling. "You got a bad beating, Abei." E'luo watched Abei's disheveled appearance from the side, not feeling sorry for his grandson, but instead smiling. "But you were beaten even worse the last few times. You have undoubtedly grown stronger now!" The clan leader smiled. It worked, his guess was correct! By constantly challenging various dragons in Gui'aoer's memories, actively coming into contact with a series of things including the Mad Dragon Virus and the Blood-Devouring Insect, and trying to overcome these with his own strength to achieve growth in strength, this path was completely effective! His intuition that day was not wrong! The only problem was "Thump!" Under a seemingly ordinary attack from the Silver Knight Dragon, Abei collapsed to the ground. The berserk state brought on by his aberration prevented him from rising again; in fact, with too much of his life force drained by the Blood-Devouring Insect, he teetered on the brink of death. "If your strength isn't up to par, actively contacting the Blood-Devouring Insect will only hasten your death," E'luo concluded. He could sense Abei becoming stronger because of the Blood-Devouring Insect, and he also sensed that Abe was dying for the same reason. During this brief period of relative strength, Abei, following his teachings, tried to control the power of the Blood-Devouring Insect, using his willpower to resist the frenzied onslaught. However, perhaps due to his limited strength, he could only touch the edge, and even then, it only worked by chance. Overcoming the Blood-Devouring Insect's erosion and converting it into one's own power—the "Abnormality Overcoming"—was something only powerful Ancient Dragon Species could do. Asking Abei to do such a thing was truly asking too much of him. But this didn't mean that E'luo's idea of making dragons stronger through these things was wrong. Because dragons can still be resurrected at the Blessing Place, the effects of both the mutation and the Mad Dragon Virus will disappear upon resurrection. Even though he can only touch the edge of becoming stronger each time, Abei's strength seems to have increased compared to a few days ago. As long as he perseveres, E'luo believes that quantitative change will eventually lead to qualitative change! Moreover, E'luo himself is also slowly adapting to this process. He can feel his body indeed being slightly strengthened in this continuous adaptation. His strength far surpasses Abei's, and given time, he may truly be able to do things that ordinary dragons cannot. "I have found a new way for dragons to become stronger." E'luo's claws clenched involuntarily. He looked at the Silver Knight Dragon walking towards him with elegant vampire steps and muttered to himself, "I can tell this method to my clansmen now, and I must warn them to keep it strictly secret." With that, he rushed towards the Silver Knight Dragon with an earth-shaking momentum, beginning to enjoy his share of the battle today. As evening fell, after E'luo's enjoyment of the day, the elite members of the Bipedal Dragon herd were summoned to the dragon's lair for a secret meeting. No one outside knew the contents of this meeting; the summoned dragons were all tight-lipped, and none leaked anything. The only noticeable change was that, from that day on, the Bipedal Dragon herd began to exhibit strange behavior. They became increasingly eager to venture into the Zane Dungeon.
