Chapter 544 - 266: Dragon Roar Realm

Chapter 544: Chapter 266: Dragon Roar Realm

Night had just begun to fall. Clouds churned as the moon drifted by, sometimes hidden, sometimes bright.

The Cyan Dragon Courtyard was quiet and serene. Jagged tree shadows plunged it into dim obscurity, only for gentle moonlight to wash over it moments later, painting everything in a cool, clear glow.

Chen Cheng stood tall on the highest point of the main residence’s roof, gazing up at the moon. As a gentle breeze brushed past, his mind gradually sank into a state of clear emptiness.

Clouds slowly gathered, completely obscuring the full, round moon, and a fine drizzle began to fall from the sky.

Chen Cheng’s gaze suddenly sharpened. His Qi Blood Power erupted, and his entire body became covered in layer upon layer of illusory Dragon Scales.

The fine raindrops landed on the illusory Dragon Scales, only to be deflected away.

[Dragon’s Roar Iron Cloth Shirt Cultivation Progress increased.]

...

As he continued his Cultivation, notifications from the panel appeared frequently.

Suddenly, Chen Cheng’s Qi Blood Power surged wildly, and the illusory Dragon Scales covering his body began to solidify.

Upon reaching a critical point, the illusory Dragon Scales solidified completely, turning into hard, dense scales.

All the scales arranged themselves in tight formation, merging into a giant, pale golden dragon over ten feet in size.

HUMMM!

The giant dragon suddenly let out a low cry, its tyrannical presence causing the very air to tremble and hum.

Chen Cheng slowly began to move, at times like a flood dragon entering the sea, at others like a soaring dragon leaping into the sky.

He channeled the Dragon Scale Armor Stance, and his entire body radiated a tyrannical presence far surpassing the hardness of metal, faintly giving rise to the rumbling of wind and thunder.

CLANG!

Chen Cheng lightly clenched his fist. The Dragon Scales on his hand ground against each other, erupting with the clang of metal!

’I’ve finally reached Perfection in the Dragon Scale Armor Stance of the Dragon’s Roar Iron Cloth Shirt!

I don’t need to expend so much Qi Blood Power anymore. Using it feels more and more natural.’

A faint smile touched Chen Cheng’s lips. He settled into the Coiled Dragon in the Abyss posture and summoned his panel.

[Skills: Dragon’s Roar Iron Cloth Shirt (Perfection) (Dragon Scale Armor Stance) (Deducing First Layer Dragon Roar Realm. Deduction Progress: 1/100. Once deduction progress reaches Perfection, you may proceed with the Cultivation of the First Layer Dragon Roar Realm.)]

The Dragon’s Roar Iron Cloth Shirt also had a corresponding Fundamental Diagram, which Chen Cheng had long since committed to memory. He immediately closed his eyes and began to carefully comprehend the Fundamental Diagram in his mind.

The scene before his eyes shifted. He was in a vast, boundless world. Rivers, lakes, and seas stretched to the horizon, and endless, majestic mountains were hidden in mist.

A colossal dragon, large enough to blot out the sun and sky, soared through the heavens, its body covered entirely in golden scales.

Its enormous head and upper body took up half the sky. Wrapped in thick clouds and mist, the other half of its body could be vaguely glimpsed, radiating brilliant golden light.

The dragon’s might was overwhelming. Before it, the sun, moon, and stars dimmed into obscurity, and the mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas all seemed illusory and faint.

Its golden scales reflected the sun and moon; its horned mane danced among the stars.

’The divine dragon shows its head but hides its tail... but what does that have to do with the Dragon Roar Realm?

If this is the Dragon’s Roar, why can’t I hear anything? Right, there should be a sound...’

Chen Cheng frowned, deep in thought. Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he focused his gaze on the colossal dragon’s head.

In an instant, his consciousness trembled, and he became the colossal dragon, stretching between heaven and earth.

At his mere thought, the giant dragon moved. Clouds churned, and the world itself trembled...

The dragon’s roar began, first like the lowing of an ox, then shifting to the sound of a bamboo flute, and then to something like the striking of a golden alms bowl...

A majestic, boundless presence filled the entire world...

[Dragon’s Roar Iron Cloth Shirt Deduction Progress increased.]

...

An unknown amount of time passed before the sound of distant roosters crowing broke the silence.

Chen Cheng returned to his senses from his deep comprehension. He felt mentally exhausted, and his entire body was sticky, as if covered in a thick layer of filth.

The drizzle had long since stopped and the full moon had set, leaving only a few faintly twinkling stars.

After a moment, the exhaustion vanished, and a sharp glint returned to Chen Cheng’s eyes.

He glanced at the panel. The deduction progress had increased to 8 points.

’Comprehending the Realm of the Dragon’s Roar Iron Cloth Shirt doesn’t just consume a vast amount of Spiritual Power; it seems to be subtly tempering my physical body at the same time.

Even with the Fundamental Diagram, a single session of comprehension only increased the deduction progress by 8 points. That’s much slower than when I was deducing the Great Power Realm.

My master, Mr. Zheng, isn’t here, so there’s no one I can ask.

But this situation is probably a good thing. At least I feel completely invigorated, and my body feels a bit stronger than before.

Strictly speaking, the Dragon’s Roar Iron Cloth Shirt Cultivation Technique is also a type of Body Refining Method.

Before one cultivates Momentum, it tempers the skin, Major Tendons, and bones. Only when these three have been strengthened to a certain degree can one stimulate their Qi Blood Power to unleash the Dragon Scale Armor Stance.

The process of comprehending the Dragon Roar Realm is undoubtedly tempering my physique even further, pushing my body to develop in a way that makes it easier to use the Dragon Roar Realm.

They are all Momentum-based External Martial Arts Skills, but the power of the Dragon Scale Armor Stance is far greater than that of the Powerful Claw Stance or the Tendon-Separating Bone-Crushing Stance.

In my opinion, neither the Powerful Claw Stance nor the Tendon-Separating Bone-Crushing Stance could break through the defenses of the Dragon Scale Armor Stance.

The Dragon Scale Armor Stance is already this powerful; I can only imagine how powerful the deduced Dragon Roar Realm will be!

The future looks promising!’

Chen Cheng moved, leaping into the air and landing lightly in the courtyard, another flash of joy on his face.

’My guess was right. Cultivating the Dragon Roar Realm has also made my Body Technique much faster.

Just now, while I was in the air, I could faintly sense the Momentum of Wind and Thunder.

Once the Dragon Roar Realm is fully deduced, it might even have the power of the Wind and Thunder Attribute!’

He rinsed the filth from his body at the large water vat in the courtyard, dried himself off, and then stepped into the main residence.

He slid into bed as he always did and gently held Mu Xiaowan. Just as he was about to fall asleep, Mu Xiaowan suddenly turned to face him.

Her breath was as fragrant as an orchid as she murmured, "Brother Cheng, were you up all night cultivating again?"

"Mm-hmm," Chen Cheng murmured, kissing her jade-smooth forehead.

Mu Xiaowan asked worriedly, "Brother Cheng, do you really intend to fight the Inner Sect Disciples from the Four Major Sects in the Life and Death Arena?"
