All-Round Improvement

The enormous Dragon Soul that shot into the sky startled the entire battlefield.

Lin Yuheng, who had been struggling to hold off a Three-Star Dou Huang sent by his second brother, could not help turning to look. Then, after seeing the massive Dragon Soul roar at the sky, he watched it plunge straight into the body of a youth below...

"Is that him?!"

Staring at Ye Chen, who was utterly insignificant compared to this battlefield, Lin Yuheng did not react for a long while.

But when he saw Ye Chen reaching one hand into the pierced eye socket of the Unicorn Fire Spirit Flood Dragon, feeling around for something, he was instantly shocked and furious...

"Bastard! How dare you steal this Young Master's things?!"

Hearing the furious roar from the sky above, Ye Chen, who had already touched something like a warm crystal, looked up at Lin Yuheng and grinned. Then he turned and ran into the distance...

Faced with a group of Dou Kings and Dou Emperors, if he did not run now, when would he?

"Damn it, seize him!!" Lin Yuheng's expression changed drastically as he repeatedly shouted in fury.

Cheng Wu, who had realized he had been deceived, was also filled with anger...

He had initially thought he was being besieged by three Fifth-Order Magical Beasts. Worried about his seriously injured body, he had not dared to go all out.

Yet he had never expected it to be nothing more than a trick devised by a mere Da Dou Shi!

With an angry shout, the dual daggers in his hands spun. Surging Energy Blades instantly cleaved apart the Fire Wolf blocking his path, then his hands struck together and released two streams of Spiral Dou Qi toward Ye Chen's back.

If that attack landed, it would likely take Ye Chen's life immediately!

At the critical moment, a bolt of Thunder Light suddenly descended from the sky. It not only scattered Cheng Wu's Dou Qi Pillar, but also grabbed Ye Chen by the shoulder. Then the figure transformed into silver lightning and flew out of the Fire Dragon Mountain Range...

This scene enraged Lin Yuheng, while Old Luo and the others were completely dumbfounded.

They had been fighting, and then someone ran away?

What the hell was that supposed to mean?!

"Retreat!" Old Luo gritted his teeth and reluctantly gave the order.

There was no other way. The Black Fire Sect's two Nine Star Dou Huang experts had originally been held back one each by him and Hu Tian. Now that Hu Tian had fled, those remaining could not possibly withstand Lin Yuheng's group.

In the end, the corpse of the Unicorn Fire Spirit Flood Dragon was still left to Lin Yuheng!

That was what Old Luo found most unbearable.

Old Luo left with Lin Yutong's people. The people sent by Lin Yucheng and Lin Yuting, the two brothers, were even less capable of opposing Lin Yuheng, so they wisely slipped away as well...

Yet Lin Yuheng, who remained behind, seemed to feel no joy at all from victory. Especially when Cheng Wu lowered his head and said softly, "Young Master, the Unicorn Fire Spirit Flood Dragon's Monster Core is here. But the Dragon Yuan is gone..."

That single sentence made Lin Yuheng start cursing furiously!

Meanwhile, Ye Chen and his servant had long since disappeared.→

Hu Tian carried his outrageously bold Young Clan Leader and flew for several hundred li before finding a secluded mountain forest and plunging into it.

Inside an unnamed valley three hundred li west of the Fire Dragon Mountain Range, Ye Chen and Hu Tian sat cross-legged deep within a cave, staring at the fiery red crystal in Ye Chen's hand...

The crystal was round and the size of a fist, radiating a dazzling red light. What surprised Ye Chen even more was that its interior resembled lava, with layer after layer of ripples constantly spreading through it.

"This is the Dragon Yuan?" Ye Chen asked curiously.

Any Magical Beast with sufficiently pure Dragon Clan bloodline would nurture such a special energy body in addition to its fundamental Monster Core. People called it Dragon Yuan.

It was the most unique type of condensed energy within dragon-type Magical Beasts. Dragon-type Magical Beasts prepared it for breaking through to the Seventh Rank and taking human form, making it exceedingly precious.

Not only Ye Chen, but even Hu Tian, who had followed the Ye Family Old Ancestor Ye Xun for more than thirty years, was seeing such a wondrous object for the first time.

"I once heard the old master say that the legendary Dragon Yuan not only contains immense pure energy, but can also transform one's body, enhance Fire Attribute affinity, grant immunity to all poisons, and preserve youth forever. I wonder whether that is true..."

Ye Chen chuckled. "How could it be that exaggerated!"

Tossing the fist-sized Dragon Yuan in his hand, Ye Chen continued, "It is only Dragon Yuan left behind by a Sixth-Rank Magical Beast. Increasing cultivation, strengthening the body, and enhancing fire affinity are believable enough, but immunity to all poisons and eternal youth are going too far.

After all, this continent has Poison Masters at the Dou Zong and even Dou Zun level. Could poison used by someone at that level really be blocked by a mere Dragon Yuan?"

Hu Tian nodded, feeling that Ye Chen's words made sense. If a single Dragon Yuan could truly bring so many benefits, then all the dragon-type Magical Beasts on the continent would be doomed, would they not?

Still, it was true that consuming Dragon Yuan could improve poison resistance. After all, dragon-type Magical Beasts themselves possessed extremely high resistance to poison!

"But no matter what, with this Dragon Yuan, Young Master, your strength can rise by a great deal!" Hu Tian said with a gratified expression.

That was indeed true.

But what truly delighted Ye Chen was not the Dragon Yuan. It was that his Golden Finger could finally be completed into its full form!

Opening the Star Vein Diagram Atlas deep within his soul.

In an instant, Ye Chen felt as though he had suddenly arrived in the boundless starry sky.

The dark Sky Canopy, which had originally been empty except for a few points of starlight, had disappeared. In its place was a Starry Sky Dragon stretching beyond sight, lying across the heavens.

Yet unlike a true giant dragon, this crimson Starry Sky Dragon possessed only a single horn...

"Eh? I did not expect that after obtaining the Star Vein Diagram Atlas, the Star Souls I had lit up would actually revert back into Star Essence..."

Looking at his detailed attributes, Ye Chen could not help letting out a surprised cry.

Name: Ye Chen

Age: 13

Realm: Three-Star Da Dou Shi

Star Essence: 47+310

Star Soul: 0 points (Note: Special Hidden Star Soul, Primary Fire Secondary Wood.)

Essence: 100; Qi: 100; Spirit: 50; Speed: 50; Strength: 100

Star Vein Diagram: Unicorn Fire Spirit Flood Dragon

Star Region Diagram: Dragon Head Star Region (contains 10 Star Palaces), Left Front Dragon Claw (contains 8 Star Palaces), Right Front Dragon Claw (contains 8 Star Palaces), Left Rear Dragon Claw (contains 8 Star Palaces), Right Rear Dragon Claw (contains 8 Star Palaces), Dragon Tail Star Region (contains 7 Star Palaces), Dragon Spine Star Region (contains 12 Star Palaces)

Star Region Skill: None

Star Track Skill: None

When Star Tracks in the same Star Region connect, they can produce a Star Track Skill; fully lighting up the same Star Region grants a Star Region Skill.

The two fundamental physical attributes, Essence and Qi, had soared tenfold compared to before he obtained the Star Vein Diagram! His Spirit attribute had also increased fivefold...

The reason the Spirit attribute had increased less, Ye Chen believed, was because the Unicorn Fire Spirit Flood Dragon was a Magical Beast known for its physique and energy. Thus, the improvements to physical attributes were stronger than those to the soul!

And beyond the three basic attributes of Essence, Qi, and Spirit, there were now two additional fundamental attributes: Speed, representing swiftness, and Strength, representing power.

It could be said that after completing the Star Vein Diagram, Ye Chen had received an all-round improvement!
