Chapter 852: Chapter 853: The Power of the Dragon

"Thank you to the brothers from ’First Acquaintance’ for your support, and thank you for your support!"

Li Changlin, of course, didn’t stand up, but calmly made a cupped fist salute towards the other party.

At this moment, Mo Dongshen and Mo Dongqiang had already reacted.

Fang Xiaowei’s reputation was something they had heard of, the unrivaled talent of the Fang Family a century ago, and the son-in-law of the Mo Family.

It should be said that both Mo Dongshen and Mo Dongqiang would have to call Fang Xiaowei an ’ancestor.’

The two did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly called out respectfully to their ’ancestor.’ Fang Xiaowei nodded calmly, and next to him, Mo Penghong reminded them seriously, "Today’s matter must not be spread recklessly!"

"Yes." Both Mo Dongshen and Mo Dongqiang quickly agreed, though they were already inwardly thrilled.

They had heard very clearly what Li Changlin had said just moments ago.

The fact that Patriarch Fang Xiaowei turned out to be a powerful late-stage practitioner of Virtual Energy had taken them by surprise.

However, in their excitement, the two did not consider how exactly Li Changlin was able to ascertain Fang Xiaowei’s cultivation level.

After Mo Penghong gave his instruction, he invited Fang Xiaowei to take the seat of honor. Once Fang Xiaowei sat down, Li Changlin suddenly said with a smile, "Today’s situation is quite unexpected. But this is good; now I can have a proper discussion about a trade with the Mo Family."

"Trade?" Everyone was stunned, even Fang Xiaowei looked at Li Changlin with a puzzled face.

"That’s right, a trade." Li Changlin nodded and looked up at Fang Xiaowei with a slight smile and said, "Originally, I was thinking of helping the Mo Family against the Chen Family. But now, seeing Mr. Fang here, I have abandoned that thought."

"Abandoned that thought?" Both Mo Penghong and Fang Xiaowei were slightly startled, while Mo Dongshen and Mo Dongqiang’s expressions changed drastically next to them.

From the previous probing, both of them had already recognized that Li Changlin came from the Capital Li Family.

Now hearing that Li Changlin had given up on helping the Mo Family deal with the Chen Family, they naturally grew worried.

"Mr. Li, if you are upset with Dong Qiang’s disrespect just now, he can apologize. Please be sure to help our Mo Family. The Mo Family will definitely remember the great kindness and virtue of Li Changlin!" Mo Dongqiang was also somewhat anxious, thinking that Li Changlin held a grudge against him and was now deliberately making things difficult.

"Mr. Mo is mistaken." Li Changlin raised his hand and shook it, lightly chuckling as he spoke, "With Mr. Fang here as a Master, there’s no need for the Mo Family to fear the Chen Family."

"But, but Patriarch Chen is a Peak Virtual Energy Master!" On the side, Mo Dongshen became edgy too.

Although he was pleased that the Mo Family had a more powerful ancestor, Chen Haixuan had already reached the peak of Virtual Power ten years ago. Although there were no news of his progress in these ten years, compared to the Chen Family, the Mo Family was still far behind.

Especially given that the Chen Family, just like the Mo Family, had several vassal families under its command.

Rumor has it that one of these families, the Lu Family, even has a mid-stage Master of Virtual Energy. Even if they now had Fang Xiaowei, when compared to the Chen Family, they were still inadequate!

"You two, keep calm. Since Mr. Li said so, he surely has his reasons," Fang Xiaowei commented calmly. After all, he was a man who had lived a century and a half, and he understood the value of the Mo Family. Since Li Changlin had come to the Mo Family, it was not possible that he would leave empty-handed.

"Mr. Fang is a wise man." Li Changlin smiled and nodded, then calmly said, "No matter how large the provincial city is, they can’t produce any real big shots. I know that due to the Principle, in places like Nanfu Province, it’s very hard to give birth to an ’Inch Force Expert.’ Although Chen Haixuan is powerful, his cultivation has stopped at Peak Virtual Energy. Mr. Fang, now that you are at the late stage of Virtual Energy, I wondered how much ’Power of Dragons’ could your cultivation manifest."

The Power of One Dragon equates to ten thousand catties, and Virtual Energy practitioners can perform Flight Through the Void primarily because they have grasped the Principles of the Shenlong Continent.

Dragons are naturally capable of flying; once one reaches the Boundary of Virtual Energy, their strength breaks through ten thousand catties, attaining at least The Power of One Dragon.

Without understanding the Principles of the Shenlong Continent, the strength within cannot reach The Power of One Dragon, thus one cannot break into the Boundary of Virtual Energy.

Those who are ’Half-step into Virtual Energy,’ even if they carry some aspect of Virtual Energy, are different in nature compared to a genuine Master of Virtual Energy in a qualitative to quantitative way.

Cheng Dahai was a genius of the previous generation in the Cheng Family, but he has been stuck at half-step into Virtual Energy for many years, because he could not grasp the Principle of Virtual Energy.

Previously, when Li Changlin fought Sun Haoran, he faintly sensed that he could condense the shape of a dragon, and while shocked, he immediately communicated with Ling’er for answers, learning some secrets.

Although Li Changlin didn’t know why Ling’er was aware of the matters of the Shenlong Continent, the situation was ultimately favorable for him, so he did not ponder it further.

When Fang Xiaowei suddenly heard Li Changlin ask about the Power of Dragons, he became even more certain that Li Changlin was from a great Family.

Generally, small families, even if they were giants like the Mo Family in the provincial city, would not casually speak of the ’Power of Dragons’ to their younger generations.

To avoid their juniors becoming overly ambitious and as a precaution against mishaps when those half-stepping into Virtual Energy tried to advance, typically only when a family member’s accumulation reached the Realm of Perfection, and they truly began to attempt the breakthrough, would people like Mo Penghong mention it to them.

"At my current level, I should be able to condense The Power of Two Dragons." After a slight contemplation, Fang Xiaowei did not conceal the truth.

The Power of Two Dragons—that’s a force of twenty thousand catties.

At this time, Li Changlin’s own strength was estimated to be around eighteen thousand catties, nearly comparable to The Power of Two Dragons, but in a real fight, he certainly was not Fang Xiaowei’s match.

"Since Chen Haixuan has Peak Virtual Energy cultivation, Mr. Fang, how many ’Power of Dragons’ do you estimate he possesses?" Li Changlin nodded and then asked seriously.

"Chen Haixuan has been at the peak of Virtual Energy ten years ago. Based on my estimate, he should have at least The Power of Three to Four Dragons," Fang Xiaowei thought for a moment and shared his speculation.

A typical Peak Virtual Energy master would have about thirty thousand catties of strength.

However, Chen Haixuan was an exception, as the Chen family might have already become a vassal of a great Family, so his strength could not be judged based on common Martial Artist standards.

Li Changlin stroked his chin, thinking that with Fang Xiaowei now in the late stage of Virtual Energy, if he fully supported him with "Life Fruits," given Fang Xiaowei’s physique, he should be able to consume at least three hundred.

Three hundred Life Fruits equate to the strength of thirty thousand catties—The Power of Three Dragons; combined with Fang Xiaowei’s own The Power of Two Dragons, it would mean he would have The Power of Five Dragons.
