Chapter 194: 182 Variation 2 (Thanks | Joking | Alliance Hierarch’s Reward)

Watching as the silver needle bent and dropped, Da Xiong was a bit confused.

But she quickly reacted.

"Give me a strengthening needle."

Soon, she switched to a much stronger needle from a nurse nearby, and this time it finally pierced through, leaving a black dot on Li Chengyi’s skin.

"Thank you," Li Chengyi said with a smile, seemingly unaffected as he turned and walked toward the rest area, completely not needing anyone’s support.

Da Xiong, watching from behind, wore a puzzled look, somewhat doubting whether what she had just injected was really a genetic enhancement needle.

Squeak.

Li Chengyi lay back on the steel recliner, his whole body discreetly releasing a Radiance Field.

The injection site of the strengthening needle was, at this moment, as if frozen, spreading coldness around itself.

But the warm Radiance Field was also constantly countering and containing this chill.

Time ticked away, and ten minutes later.

The chill disappeared.

Li Chengyi raised his hand and found no changes in himself.

’It seems after all it is no longer suitable...’

He had somewhat anticipated this in his heart, after all, he had used the Flower Language Technique before, permanently altering his own bloodline.

The Inferior Shadow Dragon Bloodline, no matter what, meant the transformation of the bloodline.

The foundation had changed, so naturally, the genetic drugs meant for humans were useless now.

Sigh.

Li Chengyi took a deep breath, preparing to get up.

Suddenly his gaze sharpened.

He observed the breath he had just exhaled.

It was cold, still winter, and any exhalation should create white mist.

But the breath he just let out was not white...

It was... black!

Dark grey!

Feeling that something was off, he swiftly rose from the recliner.

"I’m fine now, I’ll go in for a rest," he said to Da Xiong and the others, waving his hand.

"Okay," Da Xiong watched as he turned to leave, always feeling that there seemed to be something hidden about Brother Cheng, that the effects of the strengthening needle shouldn’t have worn off so quickly...

But everyone has their own secrets, so she just mulled it over in her mind for a moment before letting it go, focusing instead on checking out the physical condition of the others.

Having a strengthening injection was just the beginning; high-intensity training was needed afterward to assimilate the drug and avoid severe side effects.

Although she had used the best, least side-effect-ridden, first-level drug for everyone, she still couldn’t be careless about it.

Pop.

Li Chengyi entered the first-floor hall, closed the door behind him, and stood in the shadows, catching his breath.

He felt that something was not right.

The strengthening drug from that needle seemed to have triggered changes in his own blood.

He walked forward a few steps and then sank down onto a sofa.

Sigh.

Once again, he exhaled a breath.

This time, he distinctly saw the color of the breath he exhaled.

It was pure black, like thick smoke.

And that wasn’t all.

He lifted his hand to see that on the back of his hand, grey scales the size of fingernails were faintly emerging.

’Dragon Scales?’

He suddenly realized that the Dragon Transformation wasn’t complete yet; now it was simply accelerated by the drug.

Grabbing a bottle of water from the table, he planned to take a sip.

But the moment his hand gripped the bottle, the plastic exterior was silently punctured, water spilled everywhere.

Only then did Li Chengyi notice that his nails had also grown, each turning dark grey and as sharp as small daggers.

’This is troublesome!’

If this appearance were directly exposed to society, it would certainly cause a major uproar.

Li Chengyi took a deep breath, quickly went upstairs to his bedroom, and from his closet he took out a black coat that covered him from head to toe.

Wrapping himself up completely, he felt much more at ease.

Standing in front of the bathroom mirror.

His eyes in the mirror had completely turned pitch black, with a hint of gold in the pupils.

His face was also faintly showing grey scales.

Not only that, his entire stature had grown a size larger.

Fizz...

As time passed.

He felt his body size expanding beyond what it was before.

The reflection in the mirror was not only growing taller, but the breadth of his shoulders and the girth of his muscles were also inflating.

After about thirteen minutes.

This slow transformation finally peaked and stopped.

At this moment, the Li Chengyi in the mirror had taken on an entirely new appearance.

Dark hair disheveled, eyes black with a tinge of gold, body covered in grey-black scales, and his figure resembling a giant bear, standing at a full two meters fifty tall.

He had grown broader as well, nearly bursting the seams of his coat.

Looking at his reflection, Li Chengyi only felt a rage and heat welling up from the bottom of his heart.

’I can feel my strength has increased, but I can’t gauge how much exactly at the moment, and my skin’s defense is definitely stronger. The rest is not very clear...’

’And...’

Li Chengyi looked down and opened his mouth slightly.

Whoosh!

A jet of black smoke carrying sparks suddenly erupted from his mouth, hitting the washbasin.

He touched the place hit by the black smoke, feeling scorching hot.

’High temperature... Could it be that I’m really going to turn into a dragon?’ Li Chengyi was somewhat speechless, but not panicked.

He felt confidently that this state of his could be retracted.

With a thought, he touched the Mark of the Evil Flower.

The section belonging to the Feilian insignia immediately lit up with a purple-red glow.

The Inferior Shadow Dragon Bloodline immediately took effect.

Hiss...

Suddenly, Li Chengyi’s large stature deflated rapidly, shrinking down.

The scales on his body receded as well, and the breath he exhaled was no longer black smoke.

Almost all of the changes were reverting back to their original state.

Only one thing remained.

His eyes.

The color seemed to have changed.

It went from the traditional black and white of the Yi Country people to a hint of gold shimmering at the center of the pupils.

The shape of the pupils had also changed somewhat, becoming more vertical.

’Perhaps only now has the Inferior Shadow Dragon Bloodline fully manifested its effects...’

Li Chengyi turned around and looked into the bedroom.

Bathed in sunlight, the shadows in the corner gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

He reached out his hand, gently extending it into a shadow.

A warmth as comforting as soaking in a hot spring immediately filled his heart.

"Brother Cheng! Are you alright!? Come down and start training!" Dragon Gate Crane’s voice called from below.

Li Chengyi withdrew his hand and walked to the door, pushing it open and stepping out.

Looking down from the upstairs window.

It seemed that everyone had recovered.

Dragon Gate Crane was waving at him from below, brimming with energy.

Da Xiong was whispering something to Rainbow Candy on one side, both occasionally breaking into smiles.

Xiao Zhong sat alone on the steps, putting on protective gear.

"I’m coming."

Li Chengyi entered the elevator and descended.

Once downstairs.

"To assimilate the effects of the medicine, starting today, we must engage in a minimum of five hours of high-intensity training every day, to maintain rapid circulation of blood and qi, until five days later." Da Xiong stood up and announced loudly as everyone assembled.

"Right now, I feel like I could kill a cow with my bare hands!" Dragon Gate Crane said with a fierce smile, "I must be a genius! This just unleashed the real potential inside me!"

"The Strengthening Injections I gave you all, apart from the basic strengthening effects, also have targeted enhancement effects," Da Xiong added, "Which means, in the next five days, in addition to the basic assimilation training, if you practice boxing, the hardness and strength of your fists will be boosted. If it’s sprinting, then your explosive power in sprinting will also be enhanced. So, pay attention everyone, choose the direction of your training."

"Got it, Brother Cheng, why don’t you train us? You’re the professional who trained specifically at the Dragon Whisker Sect," Rainbow Candy asked, looking towards Li Chengyi.

"No problem. The best way to speed up the circulation of blood and qi is aerobic exercise. As for the effects of the Strengthening Injection, it will be up to you to decide..."

"This is a physical ability that not even a blind spot can take away! Let’s work hard!" he said earnestly.

"I’ve actually wanted to fight for a while now, but I was always afraid of getting tired..." Dragon Gate Crane sighed, "If I knew it felt this good, I would have started a long time ago!"

Da Xiong laughed without saying a word.

"Usually, we watch Brother Cheng fighting and he’s formidable. Now that we’ve had the Strengthening Injections, why don’t we..." Dragon Gate Crane suddenly grinned mischievously, eyeing Li Chengyi.

"Don’t be like this. The Strengthening Injections I took before weren’t much use and happened a very long time ago," Li Chengyi said humbly.

"Isn’t that just perfect?" Dragon Gate Crane chuckled, "Don’t blame me, Brother Cheng, why does Sister Tang treat you so well and always throw things at me!"

He crouched down, ready to pounce like a vicious dog.

"Charge!! Take down Brother Cheng!!"

He sprinted and rushed towards Li Chengyi.

Thud!

A muffled sound as his fist hit hard below Li Chengyi’s chest.

Without moving an inch.

With Li Chengyi’s current physical condition, capable of unleashing three tons of force with his bare hands, even if Dragon Gate Crane had taken a Strengthening Injection, it was hardly digested, barely delivering a punch of two to three hundred pounds, which felt no more than a soft, gentle massage.

"Actually, you could all come at once."

Li Chengyi said with a smile as he looked at Dragon Gate Crane’s distorted face.

"It saves more time."

"Brother Cheng is looking down on us, huh..." Rainbow Candy raised an eyebrow, spat out her bubble gum, and stood up.

"Isn’t that a bit arrogant, Brother Cheng? You’re definitely amazing, but there’s so many of us. We’ve also been trained by a professional Martial Artist. You, a Feiyi Master, dare to challenge us all?" Da Xiong also rose to his feet.

"Then our goal is to take Brother Cheng down together!" Rainbow Candy raised her hand.

"Charge!!"

Several people charged at Li Chengyi from different angles.

Watching them charged with full energy, Li Chengyi smiled faintly. He was about to speak when he saw Rainbow Candy stealthily wearing an exoskeleton on her calf that matched her skin color.

"If you’re going to cheat, don’t blame me."

"So what if we cheat! Today, Brother Cheng, we’re gonna smash that fake smile of yours to pieces!" Rainbow Candy said arrogantly.

Bang!!

Li Chengyi lifted his foot and stamped on the ground.

Soft Qi Eruption.

The ground shook violently, and cracks spread out from the tiles, crawling in all directions.

Dust flew up, and pebbles shattered.

A wave of air mixed with dust spread outwards.

"What did you just say?" Li Chengyi looked at Rainbow Candy, who had already charged up to him.

".....!!??"

Rainbow Candy’s mouth was slightly open, and with an abrupt stop, she turned around trying to run.

Pfft.

She was grabbed by the head by Li Chengyi’s hand and lifted into the air.

"Let go of Sister Tang!!" Dragon Gate Crane immediately entered a frenzy state, charging furiously at Li Chengyi, with a wild flurry of punches.

Bang.

He was slapped on the side of his body and instantly flew sideways.

"This is the strength of a common Reinforced Human from Utopia."

Li Chengyi said aloud.

He tossed Rainbow Candy aside, then immediately turned and grabbed Da Xiong’s small fist that was aiming for a sneak attack with full force.

He twisted his grip outward.

Da Xiong was thrown in a parabola and landed on the lawn a short distance away.

Last was Xiao Zhong, who kicked viciously from behind, targeting the lower half of Li Chengyi’s body.

With a loud thud, that kick was diverted by Li Chengyi’s preemptive side kick as he turned.

Then, without waiting for Xiao Zhong to react, a sudden leg whip struck his left shoulder.

Bang!

He skidded along the ground, rolling over a dozen times before he stopped, dazedly crashing into a sprinkler.

"This is the reaction speed of a complete common body." Li Chengyi retracted his leg and stood tall as he looked at several people who were now all on the ground.

"Next, we’ll take a short break and continue."

"I will suppress my strength and speed to just what it was now to allow you to get used to it. To prevent any unpredictable close combat situations in the future."

"!!! That’s too exaggerated..."

Rainbow Candy struggled to get up, looking at the scene in front of her.

Watching Brother Cheng make his moves didn’t feel like much before, taking on those complete bodies like dealing with kids, with no difficulty at all, but now, having experienced it firsthand...

Relying on external things and relying on oneself are completely different challenges...

"Sister Tang... my nose is broken... we can’t beat him, we definitely can’t!" Dragon Gate Crane cried not far away, "How about we just give up..."

"Scared of what! Attack!!! Smash him to pieces!!" Rainbow Candy roared in anger, speeding towards Li Chengyi.

The other two also kept silent, cooperating with her in a combined sneak attack.

Only Dragon Gate Crane was left behind, tearfully unwilling, but he had no choice but to follow.
