Chapter 282: Chapter 166: Hatching the Shadow Giant Dragon, Unlocking the Dragon Race’s Secret Treasure

As for the [Dragon Priest Robe], being a gold-tier piece of equipment, it possessed decent Magic Resistance and provided a certain increase to Spiritual Power.

It also came with two rather good Effects.

The first increased the Magic Damage and range of Ordinary Magic by 20%, while the second increased the Magic Damage of Dragon Race Magic by 30% and reduced its Spell Cooldown by 20%.

It was quite impressive.

Since Shen Xing hadn’t equipped a robe himself, he put it on right away.

SWISH...

The black robe draped over his slender frame, and the draconic sigil on its hem emanated a faint halo.

An air of profound, ethereal grace radiated from him naturally.

Watching from the side, Reina’s eyes brightened. A desirous curve formed on her lips as her tongue gently licked them, as if she were gazing upon a delectable feast.

Shen Xing didn’t notice her expression, lost in admiration of his new attire.

He had to admit, the moment he put on the Magic Robe, his entire aura changed, making him seem wiser and more profound.

Combined with the fact that he was in a wheelchair, he looked like a Great Mage who kept his true power hidden.

’Clothes really do make the man. Just give me a Magic Staff, and anyone who saw me would have to call me Master Mage.’

Shen Xing chuckled at the thought and continued to inspect his other spoils of war.

The Gemstones were self-explanatory. Just like the previous ones, they could be directly socketed into a Unit Nest to increase the combat power of all its Soldier Types.

Conveniently, there were two Dark Gemstones among them that could be socketed into the Shadow Nest.

That left only one final item to be inspected: a Skill Book.

[Sacrificial Contract Skill Book]

[Class: Sacrificial Knight Exclusive]

[Learning Level: Level 10]

[Skill Effect: Target one allied Soldier Type. For the next 10 seconds, their Attributes increase by 200%, and they become immune to all control effects.

When this State ends, the Soldier Type dies immediately, healing the injuries of nearby allied units.]

(Note: "Tell me, would you rather be a Hero for ten seconds, or a beast of burden for a lifetime?")

...

"Oh? A Skill Book for Sacrificial Knights. This Effect is pretty strong!"

Of course, the side effect was just as obvious: they drop dead the moment the ten-second power-up ends. But if used correctly, it could still be incredibly useful.

For example, you could use it on a heavily wounded Elite Soldier Type, who would then spring back to life as if startled from his deathbed.

After a final blaze of glory, it would even heal nearby allies. No matter how you looked at it, it was a worthwhile trade.

"Perfect. I was just saying I didn’t have anything for Qin Lang, but now I do."

Shen Xing smiled faintly and put the Skill Book back in his pack.

With that, he had finished inspecting all of his spoils.

’This trip to the Dragon Tomb was incredibly fruitful.’

’Not only did I recruit a Tier Two, Leader-Level Guardian, but I also acquired the legendary Giant Dragon Species Nest and a promise from the Black Dragon Monarch to intervene on my behalf once.’

’But... the greatest prize wasn’t any of that. It was the Legendary-Level hidden class I awakened.’

He lightly raised a hand. Blue Energy surged through him, and the blood vessels across his body instantly turned a deep ocean blue.

A full head of Blue hair cascaded down to his waist. Combined with his new Magic Robe, he looked even more Extraordinary and otherworldly.

Not only that, but in this State, his Attributes, which had already reached their limit, suddenly doubled.

BOOM!

As if he had shattered some kind of bottleneck, his aura broke through the limits of Tier Two, officially reaching Tier Three!

Shen Xing gave a light wave of his hand. The sky for hundreds of meters around instantly changed. The churning Fog gave way to a deep, cosmic vista, where countless stars drifted and glimmered.

With another wave, the starry sky vanished.

"My Lord, your mastery of Magic is now no less than my own."

Reina gazed at the celestial phenomenon, her eyes filled with gratification, as well as a trace of desire hidden deep within.

"It’s decent, I suppose. I’ve only just begun to touch this Power, so I’m not very proficient yet."

Shen Xing replied with a humble smile.

Then, he raised his left hand. A ball of black Energy condensed in his palm, then expanded, rapidly covering his entire body.

His once-azure blood vessels turned an inky black in an instant.

His long Blue hair rapidly shortened, its color shifting to a deep black. Hard scales grew over vital areas of his body, and his hands and feet sprouted the sharp claws of a Giant Dragon.

In that moment, Shen Xing’s aura changed once more.

He shifted from his previous profound and vast Arcane Magic form into a heavy and powerful Warrior form.

He raised his right claw and swiped violently at the air in front of him.

SWOOSH—

A tangible blast of force erupted from the swipe, gouging several cracks tens of meters long into the ground before slamming into the distant city wall.

With a loud CRACK, the five-meter-thick city wall was torn asunder by the single blow!

"So strong!"

Shen Xing retracted his right hand, his face filled with amazement. "A casual strike from me can now tear apart a Level 2 city wall."

"If I were to strike with all my might, even a Tier Three powerhouse would be torn to shreds on the spot if they were caught off guard."

He clenched his fist, feeling the devastating Power coursing through his body, and was inwardly satisfied.

He was no longer the weak Lord who could only hide behind his Soldier Types.

In fact, his personal combat strength now surpassed the vast majority of his territory’s Soldier Types, with the exception of those two freaks.

’Imagine an enemy who has gone through hell and high water to defeat my legions of soldiers, finally arriving before me.’

’They’d think victory was in their grasp, only to discover that I, this seemingly frail Lord, am the biggest BOSS of all. I wonder what their expressions would be like?’

Shen Xing couldn’t help but smile at the image, the corners of his mouth turning up slightly.

After savoring the power of his two forms, he sat back down in his wheelchair, returning to his normal, handsome appearance.

’After all, I can only transform for an hour a day right now. I have to be sparing with it.’

Next, Shen Xing raised his right hand slightly, and a black orb of light materialized.

It was the Demon Dragon Soul that had been sealed within the ring.

’According to Kazi, He has already condensed the True Spirit within it.’

’As long as I can find a suitable Tier Three body and merge the soul with it while it’s still alive, the Demon Dragon can be directly resurrected.’

’But this isn’t an ordinary soul fusion. It’s more akin to possession, a complete takeover of the host body... ’

’Where am I supposed to find a body like that?’

Shen Xing was troubled by this.

After a moment’s thought, he decided to put the matter aside for now.

’If worst comes to worst, I’ll just wait until I encounter a Tier Three enemy, or I’ll raise a Tier Three Soldier Type myself and let it be the host.’

CLAP! CLAP!

Shen Xing clapped his hands and said with satisfaction, "All the spoils have been inspected. Next, I’ll call Jiayi and Qin Lang over and give them their two treasures."

"Then I’ll make a trip to the Player Association to deal with that Dominator Soul."

Just as his consciousness was about to leave the Land of Mist and log off, a warning suddenly flashed before his eyes.

[Warning! One of your medium-sized Soul Stone Mines has been occupied!]

...

Shen Xing’s expression immediately darkened, his gaze growing heavy.

’A Soul Stone Mine was occupied... The natives of this world don’t have that capability, which means it must have been another Lord.’

Thinking of this, he quickly opened his territory’s Soldier Type interface and found that several of his workers and Soldier Types had been killed.

Grand Lord Shen was instantly furious.

"Son of a bitch! Go ahead and occupy the mine, but what’s the point of killing my workers?"

"Is there no justice in this world? No law?!"

He immediately decided to teach this bastard a lesson.

"Reina, get Fording. You’re both coming with me."
