Layer Upon Layer

"Why?!"

Hearing Long Yi's words, Longwang Clan shook his head helplessly.

Let's give it a try, just in case.

But hearing what the Dragon Ancestor said was truly heartbreaking.

"That makes sense. If the Dragon Ancestor's head truly had such benefits, Dragon Ancestor certainly wouldn't have kept it hidden."

Thinking to himself, Longwang Clan's gaze fell on Gu Chen.

"The aura he displayed just now was so weak, yet it already made his physical body so strong. Now, with this aura and movement reaching such a level, wouldn't it be...?"

Gazing at the Dragon Race's phantom in mid-air, the Longwang Clan's heart suddenly trembled.

The physical bodies of Dragon Race have always been symbols of power, but right now he has a feeling that he is about to be surpassed.

And all of this happened through just one thing.

"It seems that being from a powerful race isn't necessarily a blessing; having a terrifying master, like him, is what truly makes one exceptionally fortunate."

Thinking it over, Longwang Clan forced himself to shake his head.

You shouldn't think about such things.

The more Long thought about it, the more he sighed.

He wanted a master like that too!

At this moment.

Brush.

The aura of the sacred beast phantom above Gu Chen paused slightly.

The next moment, the four phantom images of sacred beasts trembled, and in an instant, they seemed to come alive, circling and hovering around Gu Chen in mid-air.

In an instant, the dragon's shadow roared, the White Tiger growled, the vermilion Vermilion Bird shrieked, and the black tortoise thrashed about Black Tortoise.

The Longwang Clan stared wide-eyed.

At this moment, my entire being seemed to have entered a unique space.

Within this ever-spinning phantom, he seemed to see countless shadows of sacred beasts converging from all directions, heading towards Gu Chen.

Swish, swish, swish.

The four illusory figures spun rapidly, and in an instant they seemed to merge into one, forming a ring around Gu Chen, and then continued to approach him.

A few breaths later, the illusory figure transformed into a vortex, spinning rapidly and stirring the heavens and earth.

Gu Chen's figure was at the very center of the illusory image, standing there motionless.

Longwang Clan carefully sensed it, and then an expression of disbelief appeared in his eyes.

"Dragon Ancestor, this power is so strong!"

As they spoke, Longwang Clan also looked at Long Yi.

Long Yi did not respond immediately. His eyes were fixed on Gu Chen for a long time before he finally said:

"Such power, even if it falls upon my body, would still enhance me."

Upon hearing this, Longwang Clan's eyes widened slightly:

"Dragon Ancestor, are you serious?"

The reason why the Dragon Race's physical body is considered to be uniquely endowed is because its growth rate is extremely fast and its potential is extremely high. Even without deliberately strengthening their physical body, they are enough to make many other species in the world look up to them.

The Dragon Ancestor, despite his young age and immense strength, is still able to benefit from this power.

"You can try it; this power is far more than what you can directly feel," Long Yi reminded him.

Longwang Clan shook his head:

I believe you.

After speaking, Longwang Clan's gaze fell on Gu Chen's clothes.

After looking at it for a moment, he said:

"Brother Gu's clothes look ordinary, but under such power, they're only fluttering. These clothes are definitely not ordinary at all!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a "ripping" sound was heard, the sound of Gu Chen's clothes tearing.

The moment the sound rang out, the tear opened instantly, causing Gu Chen's outer garment to rip open.

"I knew it..."

Longwang Clan was about to speak when he suddenly paused, followed by a look of utter disbelief:

"No, there's another layer?"

A few more breaths passed.

Sizzle

Another sound.

Longwang Clan stared intently, a strange look on his face:

"Another layer? Wearing so many layers?"

Sizzle

"Besides?!"

Sizzle

"No???"

Sizzle

"Hiss, is this Human Race's skin? You peel off one layer and there's another?"

Sizzle

The Longwang Clan fell silent.

At that moment, he had a thought and an impulse: to personally strip this kid bare and see how many layers were actually behind what seemed like a thin outer layer.

Why is a man, not a woman, wearing so many layers of clothing? What is he hiding?

However, despite his thoughts, he never actually took any action.

If the other party misunderstands, how can we maintain the relationship in the future?

"With this level of strength, wearing more layers wouldn't be of much use."

The Longwang Clan thought to themselves, "Just wait quietly for Gu Chen to shed his skin layer by layer."

At this moment.

The vortex formed by the phantom image centered on Gu Chen suddenly contracted at an extremely rapid speed.

In the blink of an eye, they all rushed into Gu Chen's body.

Brush!

The moment all the power, along with the vital energy, was absorbed into the body, the world seemed to fall silent.

This continues for about a breath.

Then.

Boom!

An extremely domineering and tyrannical power suddenly surged out from Gu Chen's body.

Bang!

Almost the instant the power surged out, Gu Chen's clothes were completely torn to shreds, making him look like a firework exploding, with his body surrounded by scattered pieces of clothing and armor.

Under the sunlight, and with the four eyes of the two dragons watching, Gu Chen's entire body was covered with fine dragon scales, floating on the surface of his body, showing every detail, evenly covering every inch of his skin, leaving no blind spots.

Long Yi glanced at the Longwang Clan and said:

"It seems our Dragon Race will need to produce more Ten Thousand Scale Armor."

Upon hearing this, a hint of suspicion flashed in the Longwang Clan's eyes. He carefully examined Gu Chen and couldn't help but say:

"Dragon Ancestor, it's not broken, is it?"

"It's definitely not broken."

Long Yi nodded, but then changed the subject:

"But if you had done it the way you did before, that impact just now would have left the Ten Thousand Scale Armor with a flaw, even if it wasn't damaged."

"If such Ten Thousand Scale Armor were to be taken out and known to the world and all beasts, I fear they would care even less about my Dragon Race."

As he spoke, Long Yi gently shook his head:

"Only by practicing more can you become more skilled and achieve mastery. Otherwise, if we continue like this, I'm afraid that within a few generations, the ability to create the Ten Thousand Scale Armor will either be lost or lose its original level."

Longwang Clan, with a thoughtful expression on his face, murmured:

"The Dragon Ancestor is right."

"I just don't know if we can trade the Ten Thousand Scale Armor for Elder Lu's Atavism cub. It would be great if we could."

At this moment.

Above Long Yi's head, Gu Chen slowly opened his eyes.

A strong, clearly visible joy shone in his eyes.

"What a terrifying wish-signing experience! It actually forged this body-cultivating technique to its ultimate level!"

Chen Wangdao's method of body tempering is by no means easy; just mastering it requires a considerable investment of resources, energy, and time.

Even with the system, he felt this was no easy feat, which is why he made this wish.

Unexpectedly, thanks to the wish-granting mission, Chen Wangdao's inherited body refinement has been maxed out.

It's full!
