I Stepped on a Bug, and the System Says I Slayed a Dragon?

「The next day.」

Jianghai Airport.

The terminal was clamorous with the sound of voices!

Passenger jets landed on the tarmac, one after another.

Large numbers of people dressed in formal robes emerged from the airport.

Flanking the exit, the mayor and a line of Jianghai City’s top officials formed a welcoming party!

They stood at the entrance, personally greeting the Star Martial Artists who had come as reinforcements.

As far as the eye could see...

The Star Martial Artists were armed with swords and spears, or carried Array Maps. All of them were powerful experts of the Innate Realm or higher!

In the past, Jianghai City had at most a few Innate Realm experts, but now that number had skyrocketed into the hundreds. Such power could not be underestimated.

More importantly...

The moment Qin Yang announced the final battle, the entire Dragon Country had erupted. Countless Star Martial Artists were now rushing toward Jianghai City.

The Star Martial Artists who had arrived so far were just the tip of the iceberg!

Many more were still on their way.

"The Young Master’s charisma is truly powerful."

High in the sky, Liu Wushuang stood with his arms crossed, his brow furrowed as he stared at the faces of the Star Martial Artists. He looked at Lin Mofeng beside him and remarked with emotion:

"So many Star Martial Artists... Many of them are the backbone of other cities, yet they’ve come to Jianghai at his call. It’s truly a testament to their dedication."

"The Young Master’s prestige is known throughout the entire country."

Standing beside him, Lin Mofeng shook his head. "Many of these Star Martial Artists are here half for Jianghai City, and the other half... I suspect they’re hoping to join the gang."

With that, he said calmly, "Alright, Elder Wushuang, send the Young Master a message."

...

「A moment later.」

"Young Master, the Martial Artists who came as reinforcements have all arrived. What should we do next?"

Liu Wushuang’s voice came through the phone.

As the one from the Heaven-Blasting Gang in charge of receiving them, he was currently at the airport entrance, and the background noise was so clamorous and chaotic that it nearly drowned out his voice.

"They’re finally here."

In the living room, Qin Yang put down his teacup upon hearing the news. He turned to look in the direction of Jianghai Airport, and with a slight stir of his thoughts, his immense Spiritual Power swept out.

A few breaths later, his Spiritual Power had spread out like a vast ocean, crossing the miles to cover the airport and inspect everyone there.

As expected.

There were large numbers of Innate Realm Martial Artists, along with a few scattered Grandmasters and Venerables.

At this moment, Jianghai City’s martial strength had surpassed its historical peak, even exceeding the reserves of the Imperial Capital.

People had rushed here from all corners of the country. It would be no exaggeration to call this a nationwide battle!

"Have them all come over to the district."

Suppressing his thoughts, Qin Yang instructed Liu Wushuang over the phone, "I’ll have my junior sister arrange things on this end. She’ll prepare the equipment for drawing blood. From there, it will all be up to everyone’s own volition."

"Yes, Young Master!"

Liu Wushuang agreed on the other end of the line.

Just half an hour after the message was sent out, countless figures could be seen flying through the sky above the streets of Jianghai City.

In just a few moments...

A long line had already formed outside Fuhai District. The scene was chaotic and deafeningly noisy, as tumultuous as a pot of boiling porridge.

Everyone was talking loudly, and the entire area was in disarray.

"Form a line! Everyone, get in line!"

Li Zixuan frowned, raising her voice to address the crowd, "Maintain order! My senior brother is still in seclusion. If you make such a ruckus, it wouldn’t be good to disturb his peace."

The moment her words fell...

The uproar instantly died down.

Some faint conversations could still be heard, but they were barely a whisper.

By now, Qin Yang’s fame was thunderous. Upon learning that they were to offer a drop of their Essence Blood for him, everyone considered it a great honor. They all wanted to leave a good impression on the future leader of the Heaven-Blasting Gang!

They quickly and willingly formed an orderly line.

Outside the district, a massive crowd of Star Martial Artists ready to offer their blood had gathered.

’Senior Brother’s reputation sure is effective.’

Li Zixuan’s delicate brow relaxed. She then took out a vessel for storing blood and said, "Thank you all for coming from so far to lend your aid. Please line up here and get ready. Everyone, stay calm and come one by one."

Xiaobai and Li Qinghe stood nearby, helping to maintain order.

One by one, the Star Martial Artists stepped forward and voluntarily offered their Essence Blood, depositing it into the vessel.

Before long,

The vessel began to fill up.

’Not bad.’

On the balcony.

From the second-floor balcony, Qin Yang leaned on the railing and watched the scene unfold. As he sensed their auras, his heart filled with joy.

It had to be said, among the Star Martial Artists who had come...

There were many Innate Martial Artists and Grandmasters, and even a few scattered Venerable Realm experts. Right now, they were all in the center of the grounds, offering their Essence Blood.

With their help, the quality of the Star Array could, by the most conservative estimate, at least triple!

’Hmm, draining Essence Blood is a significant toll. I can’t let them come all this way for nothing.’

Mulling this over, Qin Yang floated down from the balcony, landing in front of the main gate of Fuhai District.

The moment he landed...

He was met with countless cries of astonishment!

"The Young Master of the Heaven-Blasting Gang is here!"

"He’s even more handsome in person than I imagined!"

"How old is he? He looks even younger than my daughter."

"I wonder if he’s married?"

"Does he really have the power of an Innate Realm expert or higher? He’s so young."

"..."

The whispers were endless.

Qin Yang swept his gaze calmly over them, a faint smile on his lips. "Everyone, please be quiet. I have something to say."

The crowd immediately fell silent.

All eyes were fixed on Qin Yang, waiting curiously for what he had to say.

"First, I thank you all for coming from so far away. The scheduled battle in three days will depend entirely on your righteous assistance."

Qin Yang continued, "To all our friends who have provided their Essence Blood today, there’s no need to hurry back. The Heaven-Blasting Gang will offer one-on-one guidance to help you with your Cultivation."

The moment the words left his mouth...

WHOOSH!

The once-quiet crowd instantly erupted!

"The Young Master of the Heaven-Blasting Gang is giving personal guidance?!"

"And it’s one-on-one!?"

"I’m not dreaming, am I...?"

"Personal guidance from a Venerable Realm expert."

The people were dazed, finding it hard to believe what was happening.

A single drop of Essence Blood could be recovered with some time and rest. To them, it was nothing.

But personal guidance from a Venerable of the Heaven-Blasting Gang...

That was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Honestly, this blood donation was an incredible deal!

"True Dragon Martial God, why don’t you take some more of our Essence Blood?"

Someone scratched their head in embarrassment and said, "Otherwise, this guidance from the Heaven-Blasting Gang... we feel a bit ashamed accepting it..."

"There’s no need."

Qin Yang chuckled at this. ’And now they’re being polite with me,’ he thought. "One drop is enough. The Heaven-Blasting Gang never freeloads!"

With that said...

Dozens of black-robed Clones shot out from the courtyard, occupying every corner. They revealed their Venerable auras and stood with their arms crossed, waiting for the crowd to approach.

After all, it would be too slow for one person to guide them all, so using Clones was much more efficient.

As these elders of the Heaven-Blasting Gang emerged...

In an instant, everyone present stared, their eyes wide and fixed.

With Qin Yang’s current Cultivation, just a few casual words of guidance would be enough for these Star Martial Artists to have an epiphany and fall into a state of sudden enlightenment.

It was no trouble at all!
