The pinnacle of High-level War God

Early one morning, a week later, at Villa No. 200 in Yangzhou's Mingyue Residential Area.

Luo Yuan finally received a portion of dragon blood, delivered by War God Yang Hui and a High-level War God he did not know. They had carried out the entire delivery in utmost secrecy, a clear sign of how much Inspector Wang valued and protected Luo Yuan.

Luo Yuan took the dragon blood straight to his villa's basement. It was private and secure, with excellent soundproofing.

Light illuminated the entire secret chamber.

Luo Yuan placed the security case in a corner. It had a fingerprint lock, and when he slid his finger over it, the case clicked open.

The case was small, with a wooden box nestled inside, secured by soft padding.

Click!

He lifted the wooden box's lid. Inside, a stoppered test tube lay secured in foam. Golden blood filled a little over a third of its volume.

"So this is dragon blood? Dragon blood worth eighty billion?" Luo Yuan carefully removed the foam, then gingerly picked up the test tube, terrified of dropping and breaking it.

Under the light, the golden blood was mesmerizing.

Luo Yuan also took a set of instructions out of the wooden box. They really had thought of everything.

In the underground chamber, Luo Yuan lay flat on the floor. Holding the test tube of dragon blood in his left hand, he gently pulled out the stopper.

A peculiar scent immediately spread through the chamber. Merely breathing it in made every part of Luo Yuan's body tingle faintly, almost as if he were cultivating genetic origin energy.

"Dragon blood!" Luo Yuan tilted the test tube slightly, pouring the blood onto his chest.

The dragon blood was thick, almost like mercury.

Luo Yuan immediately smeared both hands through it and quickly spread it over his bare upper body.

At once, his upper body and arms began to grow hot. It felt a little like the Indian aphrodisiac oil he had used in his previous life.

Gradually, streams of heat seeped into his body from the dragon blood on his skin, racing through every part of him-his legs, hands, back, chest, head, and everywhere else. The heat kept intensifying. He could actually see the dragon blood on his skin diminishing rapidly, as though it were soaking through.

The heat kept growing stronger!

The temperature kept rising!

Tingling aches and pain struck!

Every part of his body, even his head!

Heat! It felt as though he were being burned alive.

An unbearable itch, enough to make him scratch himself to death!

Pain! Bone-deep pain that made him convulse.

"Fuck! That hurts!"

Sweat rolled down Luo Yuan's forehead. His whole body shook in waves, his muscles spasmed, his heart raced, and the blood coursing through him flowed faster and faster.

His heartbeat...

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Every heartbeat sounded like a heavy drum pounding beside his ears, growing louder and louder until he lost consciousness!

Luo Yuan's consciousness returned to his sea of consciousness. He saw that the lake within it was expanding continuously, showing signs of becoming an ocean. Churning waves rose dozens of meters high. Standing on the water, he felt like a tiny boat. He had never imagined his spiritual power had already become so astonishing.

Luo Yuan woke at noon the next day, his entire body covered in a layer of black grime, even his face. After opening his eyes, he got up casually and moved his arms a little. He rubbed his left hand hard against his body, scraping away a patch of grime to reveal bronze skin beneath.

Was this the legendary cleansing of the body and marrow? His bronze skin gave him a rugged, masculine air, with a hint of homoerotic appeal. Apparently, this was one minor side effect of dragon blood.

With a thought, he opened his attribute panel.

Name: Luo Yuan

Strength level: apprentice level (Advanced War God)

Strength: 519,000 kg

Speed: 800 m/s

Defense: 519,000 kg

Spirit: 519,000 kg

Evasion Movement Technique: Perfect Level

Cultivation methods: Five Hearts Facing the Sky Method, Guidance Technique "nine-layered Hunyuan" (third layer)

Skills: movement technique "Flowing Light" (third layer), blade technique "Thunder Blade" (third layer)

Notes: 1. Spiritual force can be used to collect attribute bubbles directly and to scout. Both currently have a range of 10,000 meters.

2. Can help the host comprehend and create a blade technique.

"I'm already at the pinnacle of Advanced War God? And the range for collecting attribute bubbles and scouting has increased tenfold." Luo Yuan muttered to himself, scarcely able to believe it. The effects of dragon blood were simply incredible. He really had risen straight from the pinnacle of Beginner War God to the pinnacle of High-level War God.

"This really feels like flying!" Luo Yuan emerged from the bathroom, feeling an indescribable comfort throughout his body.

Luo Yuan went to the Media Room and began browsing the Warrior Forum and Online Mall again. He bought the cultivation methods for the fourth and fifth layers of the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade outright. At half price, they cost only a billion in Huaxia Currency, though he had donated quite a lot of money to raise his Contribution Level.

Looking at his current registered warrior rank of Advanced War General, Luo Yuan wondered whether he had taken too much of a risk. This would make it easy for Li Yao and his wife to suspect him. After all, Vulture Li Yao had the Black God Set, with its absurdly powerful defenses, as well as a group of old friends who were Advanced War Gods. Still, as long as Luo Yuan did not go gallivanting outside, they could do nothing to him even if they figured it out. Once he grew stronger, he would kill them.

After that, Luo Yuan stopped participating in the Fire Hammer Squad's missions. Gao Feng and the others understood why. They merely regretted losing him, since his combat strength was so astonishing. With him around, who would the Fire Hammer Squad have to fear?

For the next three months, Luo Yuan treated it as a vacation. Aside from visiting the Limit Hall to collect various attributes and proficiency points, he cultivated in his villa. His skin returned to normal, as fair and clear as ever. With the system's help, he also created his own blade technique, naming it Overlord Blade. It consisted of three moves: Heaven Opening, Earth-Splitting, and Annihilation. The names sounded imposing, but its current power only reached the pinnacle of the ninth apprentice rank. Fortunately, it was a blade technique that could grow.

One evening.

"Beep, beep, beep!" Luo Yuan's phone suddenly rang. Gao Feng was calling.

"Hey, Luo Yuan, have time to get together? Our Fire Hammer Squad is disbanding. Sigh..." Gao Feng sounded rather sad.

"What? That... all right, I'll be right there!" Luo Yuan was surprised to hear that the Fire Hammer Squad was disbanding, but after thinking it over, he no longer found it strange. Apparently, Inspector Wang had taken an interest in Luo Feng after all.

That night, all seven members of the Fire Hammer Squad drank until three or four in the morning. It was not until the following morning that they finally parted and went home.

With that, the Fire Hammer Squad officially disbanded!

Chen Gu, Zhang Ke, Wei Tie, and Wei Qing retired. Luo Yuan and Luo Feng would soon head to the Global Headquarters, while Gao Feng would join another warrior squad and continue fighting!

As they walked through the Mingyue Residential Area, Luo Feng looked at Luo Yuan with a complicated expression. When War God Yang Hui had come to assess his strength, he had mentioned that Inspector Wang had already recruited Luo Yuan into the Global Elite Training Camp ahead of time, exempting him from the entrance test entirely. There had actually been only one slot available, but Luo Yuan was a special exception and did not count toward it.

"Luo Feng, why are you looking at me like that? You've got a strange expression." Luo Yuan frowned as he asked.
