I, a Descendant of the Dragon
Roar!
A dragon's roar suddenly rang out.
At the same time, the Imperial Dragon Soul-Suppressing Bell itself emitted a dazzling light.
Just as Qi Zhan was about to make another move, his body suddenly stiffened the instant the dragon's roar exploded.
Then, he witnessed a scene he would never forget.
A colossal dragon shadow burst forth from the sea of consciousness ahead, lifelike and soaring through the heavens like a real dragon, displaying an extraordinary presence.
The only drawback was that the dragon shadow was rushing towards him.
This would be utterly terrifying.
A chill suddenly ran through him.
His years of experience on the run had taught him: Run!
However, at this moment, as the dragon soul rushed out, it was as if an incomparably terrifying force appeared out of thin air, rendering him unable to move an inch in place.
All you can do is feel this astonishing dragon soul approaching.
In an instant, shock, panic, despair, and helplessness all came rushing to my mind like a hundred flowers blooming.
There was still a hint of resentment mixed in with this.
Saint Artifact, isn't it very precious?
How come I encountered two things in just half a day!
From the outside perspective, it hasn't been long.
The dragon soul burst forth, but before it even landed on Qi Zhan's soul, the latter's soul already began to fluctuate violently.
Compared to this enormous dragon soul, Qi Zhan looked like a small snack.
"Receive."
Just as Qi Zhan sensed the aura of death, Lu Changzhi withdrew the dragon soul.
"The attack effect is not weak, but it consumes a bit too much soul power."
After taking a moment to reflect, Lu Changzhi made a mental summary.
He was on the verge of death but hadn't died yet, and felt an immediate sense of relief.
Qi Zhan stood there, stunned, unable to recover for a long time.
What just happened was truly shocking.
Just as the dragon soul was about to approach, he began to recall his life.
After a long silence, Qi Zhan finally managed to speak:
"Who exactly are you, and why is there a dragon soul within your sea of consciousness...?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi seemed to realize something and grinned:
"Since you've asked so earnestly, I'll tell you."
He paused, then Lu Changzhi began to speak:
"I am a descendant of the dragon."
Upon hearing this, Qi Zhan's lips twitched.
He naturally wouldn't believe Lu Changzhi's explanation.
But given the current situation, it's clearly better not to argue.
However, he also realized that the other party didn't seem to want to kill him.
At that moment, Qi Zhan asked in a deep voice:
"May I ask what methods you used to obtain the Transcendent Fruit?"
In all his years, he had never heard of such methods.
Lu Changzhi glanced at him.
After thinking for a moment, he said:
"Do you believe me if I say I just grabbed it casually?"
Qi Zhan didn't speak, but judging from the fluctuations in his soul...
Yes, he was clearly angry.
And that is indeed the case.
Whether it was intentional or not, he was certain that it was this person in front of him who did it.
This is incredibly hateful.
After years of planning, the fruit has ripened, and the destined person has arrived.
As a result, at this crucial moment, they stole the fruit, indirectly causing their efforts to fail at the last hurdle.
If someone is not better than oneself, then such behavior deserves death.
However, the current situation can only be described as extremely unethical!
Lu Changzhi was watching Qi Zhan's reaction when he suddenly heard a system notification:
"Gained 1 Exclusive Luck Points from Qi Zhan."
"Um?"
Lu Changzhi raised an eyebrow.
Before anyone could ask, the system began to explain.
After listening, Lu Changzhi roughly understood, but his expression was somewhat amused:
So, my previous guess was actually correct?
This so-called Exclusive Luck Points has two factors: one is Qi Zhan's fate of Born at the Wrong Time, and the other is that Qi Zhan has developed negative emotions towards himself.
Combining the two brought me a bit of Luck Points.
As for the usefulness of this thing, it can be said to be a matter of luck to some extent, but its applicability is limited.
Once you accumulate enough, you will reap some benefits that are relevant to you.
Lu Changzhi glanced at the newly added "Exclusive Luck Value" section in his personal information, which had a "(1/20)" mark at the end.
"Twenty isn't too difficult."
Lu Changzhi thought to himself.
At this point, the system prompted:
"The current host can only obtain one point per day, while Qi Zhan can produce a maximum of five points per day."
"Hmm?" Lu Changzhi raised an eyebrow.
"Just a little a day? That won't be coming anytime soon."
"However, this daily output of five points means it can't just supply me?"
That's not bad.
At this moment, Qi Zhan had tried to calm down his emotions and was preparing to speak again.
In the current situation, a hardline approach won't work; we still need to find a way to survive.
As long as you're alive, there's hope.
For some reason, he felt a little uneasy being stared at by this young man.
"The pavilion..."
Just as he was about to speak, Lu Changzhi snapped out of his reverie and interrupted him:
"Getting back to the main point, where did this Transcendent Fruit come from?"
Qi Zhan's expression hardened.
It was all for that Transcendent Fruit, as expected.
But this was also his bargaining chip, so why would he give it up?
At this moment, Lu Changzhi said again:
"I can assure you, as long as you tell me where to find the Transcendent Fruit, I will keep you safe."
Qi Zhan's eyes flickered. "Really?"
Lu Changzhi glanced at him. "It's fake."
"You!" Qi Zhan gasped, but then heard Lu Changzhi say again:
I've changed my mind.
"I'll let you go if you reveal the whereabouts of the other ten Transcendent Fruits, otherwise..."
Lu Changzhi remained silent, activating the Imperial Dragon Soul-Suppressing Bell, and instantly the aura of the dragon soul swept over him.
Qi Zhan's expression changed drastically on the spot, and he became furious:
"The Transcendent Fruit is a rare treasure of heaven and earth; even a single one is extremely rare. How could there possibly be ten more? And even if there were, how would I know?"
At this moment, Qi Zhan was almost without a physical body, otherwise his molars would definitely be clenching so hard they were clicking.
The other ten are ripe, what do they know about them?
What can we do?!
If you don't want to give them a way out, then don't; why resort to such elaborate methods?
"I don't care about that."
Whether you know or not is your business; I'm just asking.
Lu Changzhi made a shushing gesture and said:
"If you don't confess, we'll interrogate you every day until you do."
As soon as the voice faded, Lu Changzhi disappeared.
The purple-gold needle also disappeared along with it.
Qi Zhan quickly sensed his surroundings and then tried to escape.
After a few attempts, he quickly stopped, his face grim.
Sure enough, this must still be some special place where escape is impossible.
Qi Zhan's face turned ashen as he recalled what Lu Changzhi had said when he left.
Don't tell me you don't know, even if you really do know.
He left right after saying that; he certainly didn't seem to genuinely want to know!
Are you kidding me?!
The more I thought about it, the angrier I got, but for some reason, a vague sense of foreboding lingered in my mind.
After much thought, it all points to the same conclusion.
That kid is definitely up to no good!
On the other side, Lu Changzhi left the Trial Formation Stele, walked out of the backyard, and returned to Hidden Origin Peak.
He had originally planned to replicate Qi Zhan's talent.
However, guests have arrived at Hidden Origin Peak.
It wasn't Cang Wenyu and Xu Kun, whom he saw almost every day, but Li Yi, the peak master of Flame Sun Peak.
