Chapter 300 - 199: Dragon Flesh

Chapter 300: Chapter 199: Dragon Flesh

His Physical Strength was immense. He fought two opponents at once, striking down the Cyan Dragon while simultaneously holding his own against the Golden Saber. It was simply unheard of.

A body like that could be called invincible.

Just as Fang Yue was marveling at the sight...

The power erupting from the two combatants was like a constant roll of thunder in the heavens. Caught in the shockwave, the Cyan Dragon exploded with a deafening BOOM. Flesh and blood scattered, raining down in every direction like flower petals.

As the Cyan Dragon’s flesh and blood rained down, a massive piece came plummeting toward Fang Yue’s position.

This flesh came from that tyrannical Cyan Dragon. It undoubtedly contained pure Demonic Qi and was highly Spiritual—a rare Treasure Medicine.

Consuming it would absolutely allow one’s cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds.

But plummeting from the sky, it was like a meteorite strike, carrying destructive power.

"Not good!"

Fang Yue’s expression changed. Without a second thought, he scrambled to get out of the way.

BOOM!

The next moment, the massive chunk of flesh slammed into the ground, sending dirt flying and kicking up a cloud of dust.

An entire mountain peak collapsed.

Fang Yue looked up and saw a Dragon Claw lying in the crater before him.

The Dragon Claw was over ten feet long, cyan all over, and radiated an intense, scorching heat.

This was undeniably a part of the Cyan Dragon’s corpse.

"Hm?"

Suddenly, Fang Yue frowned. He keenly sensed the Dragon Claw stirring a deep desire within him, an urge to claim it for himself.

The craving was so strong it was nearly impossible to suppress.

’This flesh must possess incredible power!’

Fang Yue knew this was because the Cyan Dragon had been immensely powerful. Otherwise, its flesh wouldn’t contain such vast energy, enough to stir greed in his heart.

Fang Yue glanced up at the fierce battle in the sky, then steeled his resolve and picked up the Dragon Claw.

"It’s so heavy! At least fifty thousand jin!" Fang Yue only felt the Dragon Claw’s immense weight after picking it up.

A chill ran down his spine.

’It’s a good thing it was me. Any other Qi Sensing Martial Master wouldn’t have even been able to lift this thing.’

Fang Yue’s mind raced as he considered the implications.

’If I eat this Dragon Claw, I should gain a lot of power!’ A strange glint appeared in Fang Yue’s eyes, and his spirits soared.

But he wasn’t a reckless fool; he knew now was not the time.

’I have to stay rational right now!’

Prince Wucheng had caused such a huge commotion; there had to be countless people watching from the surroundings.

’Someone might already be heading this way.’

He had to leave as soon as possible.

Before long, Fang Yue found Fang Hu and told him what had happened here.

The once-impregnable Great River Defense Line surely had a breach now, presenting the perfect opportunity to leave Shanyang Prefecture.

However, he couldn’t leave with Fang Hu and the others. The Dragon Claw would surely bring them danger if he stayed with them.

So, Fang Yue departed alone, hoisting the Dragon Claw onto his shoulder and heading deep into the forest.

「...」

PANT, PANT...

Fang Yue sprinted with the Dragon Claw on his back, the wind whistling past his ears. He didn’t dare stop to rest.

Not until nightfall did he find a cave. He killed its previous occupant, a black bear, and settled in.

He first placed the Dragon Claw on the ground, then sat cross-legged and began to regulate his breathing.

After recovering some of his stamina, he started a fire to cook. The main ingredient, naturally, was the Dragon Claw.

This was a Demon Beast of unknown grade. It had been enormous, with tough Dragon Scales and thick bones. Its meat was of the highest quality, containing abundant energy.

Perhaps because it had been blasted apart by such overwhelming force, the Dragon Claw wasn’t as tough as Fang Yue had expected. Still, it took all the strength he had—the might of Nine Oxen and Two Tigers—and a tremendous effort to skin it, strip the tendons, and carve out the Dragon Flesh to roast.

WHOOSH—

As the bonfire blazed to life, a tantalizing aroma filled the entire cave, enough to make anyone’s mouth water.

GULP. GULP.

As the aroma grew richer, wild beasts like wolves and jackals began to gather.

But Fang Yue had come prepared, sprinkling Beast-Repelling Powder around the cave entrance to keep the creatures at bay.

"Haha!"

Fang Yue laughed, eagerly tearing off a small bite of the Dragon Flesh. It was succulent and tender, bursting with juice. The texture was springy, and the flavor lingered in his mouth.

He couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration, "This tastes incredible!"

Fang Yue was thrilled. ’A delicacy like this would cause a frenzy back in the modern world.’

Moreover, Fang Yue estimated the Dragon Claw contained immense Spiritual properties and Demonic Power, which would be hugely beneficial for advancing his cultivation.

Fang Yue held nothing back, devouring all of the Dragon Flesh.

While the Dragon Flesh didn’t immediately increase his cultivation level, it made his entire body feel refreshed, his blood seeming to boil with energy.

The Spiritual Qi flowing from the meat nourished his entire body.

Fang Yue felt a pleasant warmth spread through him as his pores opened, allowing a continuous stream of Spiritual Qi to pour into his body.

This Spiritual Qi was wondrous, coursing through his body and refining his flesh.

Fang Yue closed his eyes, carefully savoring the sensation.

Just then, a familiar notification chimed, and a line of text materialized before him: [Talent Points +10,000].

"It actually gave me ten thousand Talent Points!"

Fang Yue was stunned. The Cyan Dragon’s flesh was far more effective than he’d imagined.

Ten thousand Talent Points nearly doubled his current total.

The doubling of his Talent had an immediate effect. He felt a warm current generate within him and spread throughout his body.

「...」

"It should be right around here. Someone already beat us to it!"

"Dammit! Who the hell was it? Go! We have to find this little thief and tear him limb from limb!"

Just then, a squad of black-robed soldiers arrived at the crater where the Dragon Claw had fallen. They were led by two burly generals whose auras indicated profound cultivation.

"Are you certain the Dragon Claw fell right here?"

Among the black-robed figures, a young man’s gaze was chilling.

"Brother, it’s the absolute truth! I saw the Dragon Claw fall with my own two eyes!" another black-robed man swore.

"Hmph. I’d like to see who has the death wish to steal my prize!" The young man’s expression turned vicious.

A terrifying aura emanated from him, making him seem like a malevolent deity.

His name was Wu Yong. His father was a Celestial King under Prince Wucheng—the third-ranked Celestial King, no less.

He had been pampered since birth, growing up arrogant and domineering. He relied on his father’s authority to act with utter lawlessness.

Of course, his own cultivation was not to be underestimated; he was already a Mid-stage Innate Grandmaster Martial Artist.

This time, Prince Wucheng had slain the Cyan Dragon in the skies above.

Prince Wucheng naturally had no interest in the scattered remains.

So, these scraps were left for people like them.

He had no interest in common scraps of flesh and hadn’t bothered searching for them. He had come straight for a Dragon Claw, only to find it had vanished without a trace, snatched by someone who got there first.

How could he possibly accept that?

"Hmph! This forest isn’t that large. We will find him!" Wu Yong’s gaze was glacial.

His eyes swept across the area, as if he could see right through the trees.

He then led his soldiers away to search for the person who had stolen the Dragon Claw.

「...」

Fang Yue sat cross-legged, circulating his energy and regulating his breath for half a day.

Finally, he opened his eyes. They were bright and spirited, glinting with a sharp light.

His physique hadn’t changed much, but his entire body felt far more solid. This was especially true for his skin; whenever he exerted his strength, faint golden patterns would appear, as if his flesh were forged from gold and bronze.

He stood up and stretched, his body letting out a series of sharp cracks and pops, like firecrackers.

Fang Yue felt that his Physical Strength had at least doubled.

Originally, Fang Yue’s strength had already surpassed fifty thousand jin. Now that it had doubled, it was nearly one hundred and ten thousand jin—the equivalent of five hundred and fifty tons.

’As expected of the flesh of a top-tier Demon Fiend!’

Fang Yue was astounded. He could clearly feel that his Physical Strength now far surpassed that of other experts at his level.

With his Physical Strength alone, he could even contend with some Grandmasters in the Innate Realm.
