However, the benefits were clear. After condensing the Blue Dragon Battle Armor, Xiao Chen's physical body would surpass that of the Fiend Race geniuses with the Heavenly Spiritual Body.
Ten days later, Xiao Chen used up all the Secret Treasures containing dragon souls, including that peak-quality King Grade Secret Treasure.
More than forty million Black Astral Coins were gone, just like that.
Xiao Chen opened his eyes and spat out a long breath of turbid air. The moment he stood up, the bones in his entire body gave off crackling sounds.
Xiao Chen opened his acupoints, and dragon-shaped energy leaked out uncontrollably, spreading throughout the entire room and forming hazy dragon clouds.
His entire body felt very comfortable. Xiao Chen felt that his physical body had improved by another level, and his Vital Qi had increased to twenty Dragon Force.
With a thought, Xiao Chen circulated his energy, and his Vital Qi surged in his body, giving off dragon roars.
After reaching the third layer, Xiao Chen condensed the Blue Dragon Battle Armor for the first time. This time, the Blue Dragon Battle Armor no longer covered his entire body.
Instead, it truly permeated his skin and flesh, forming an incomparably close connection. It felt like it was his own skin; there was no discomfort at all.
The Battle Armor wrapped itself even tighter, and its surface glowed like flowing water. There was also a formless tyrannical aura of kingship surrounding Xiao Chen as the Battle Armor appeared, making him look like a human-shaped dragon.
If Xiao Chen continued cultivating this, when he brought out the Blue Dragon Battle Armor, his entire physical body would change, forming a physique that was somewhere between a human and a dragon.
"Ka ca!"
With a thought, sharp spikes popped out of Xiao Chen's arms, ankles, and other joints. Then, he stretched his limbs and clenched his fists. He could feel a gushing, river-like energy.
Fortunately, this was a superior room with sufficient space and decent soundproofing. This allowed Xiao Chen to familiarize himself with this new Blue Dragon Battle Body without worrying too much.
"Right now, a normal Great Perfection Blue Robed Emperor is no longer a threat to me. I just don't know how big the gap is between me and Half-Step Emperor Wu."
Xiao Chen withdrew the Dragon Power from the Blue Dragon Armor and returned to his white robe. His eyes revealed a fiery light as he murmured.
The Blue Dragon Body Nourishing Secret Art had stabilized at the third tier, and his strength had increased. This made Xiao Chen extremely eager to fight, and he really wanted to have a great battle with the half-step Emperor Wu.
However, he was not an arrogant person who would make trouble out of nothing.
He would never take the initiative to provoke a Half-step Emperor Wu, or think that he was invincible in the Blue Robed Emperor realm and challenge a few Great Perfection Blue Robed Emperors at the same time.
Xiao Chen's mental state allowed him to control the inflated confidence that came with his increase in strength.
All the major characters who had seen him before, like the Haotian Emperor and the Flame Rock Sovereign, were extremely shocked by Xiao Chen's mental state.
It was truly remarkable for Xiao Chen to have such a mental state at such a young age.
As the saying went, the greater one's ability, the greater one's desire. Many outstanding talents in history could not overcome this obstacle of desire, ruining their bright futures in their own hands.
After sorting out his emotions, Xiao Chen intended to have a drink before leaving this chaotic place.
After pushing open the door, Xiao Chen walked down the corridor. Just as he reached the corner of the second floor, he saw another argument about to turn into a fight.
The status of this restaurant in Treasure Dragon City was somewhat like that of the Conflagration Restaurant in Dark City. Because there were secret passages leading to the underground market, it had always been very popular.
Going in and out, there were many people at every moment, and this was how the conflict arose.
Someone in the hall wanted to go out. In the end, an extremely fast youth knocked into that person. The youth who knocked into that person had a fiery temper and started cursing on the spot.
"Where did this dog come from? How blind! How dare he block my, Dugu Ao's, path? How reckless!"
How could the middle-aged man who was knocked into endure this? He had not even lost his temper, yet the person who knocked into him became angry. How preposterous!
An intense fight immediately unfolded.
Although fighting was prohibited in the underground market, it was not prohibited in the restaurant. The people in the restaurant were used to fighting and whatnot.
Seeing that there was something interesting to watch, a group of people came over from the railings of the various floors with wine cups in hand to watch the excitement.
Everyone remained as calm as still water, chatting and drinking, commenting on the situation. This was one of the wonders of the Dragon Grave Sea.
"It's this Dugu Ao again. He is still as arrogant as before. That middle-aged man is probably in trouble."
"He is probably new and has not heard of Dugu Ao's name before."
When Xiao Chen heard the discussions, he could not help but feel interested in this Dugu Ao. Based on the discussions of the others, this Dugu Ao was about fifty years old.
Dugu Ao looked extremely young. Clearly, he had advanced to Martial Sage long ago. However, his appearance would not change beyond a hundred years old.
Of course, in the Kunlun Realm, fifty years old was indeed a very young age. One could not use the standards of Xiao Chen's previous life to look at it.
Xiao Chen asked the person beside him, "What is this Dugu Ao's background?"
That person wore luxurious clothes and took a sip of wine. He seemed to be in a pretty good mood.
That person introduced excitedly, "This fellow's background is incredible. He is one of the top ten young experts of the Human-Demon Sea. He is only fifty years old, but he already reached Consummation Blue Robed Emperor. There will not be any problems with him advancing to Martial Emperor in the future.
"How enviable. Thinking about it, I spent a hundred years as a Great Perfection Blue Robed Emperor before I advanced to Consummation Blue Robed Emperor. That is already an incredible talent. Compared to this fellow, it is nothing."
Xiao Chen felt enlightened. However, he did not think that it was incredible.
Becoming a Consummation Blue Robed Emperor at fifty years old was indeed an incredible talent. However, compared to his generation, he was still far from it.
Not to mention Xiao Chen, just comparing Di Wuque's group of people, who knew what kind of improvements they had in the Astral Battlefield? As long as they could persevere and survive, they would probably have reached Great Perfection Blue Robed Emperor by now.
Furthermore, most of them were only about thirty years old. Given the talent of this group of people, they would not have any problems breaking through to Consummation Blue Robed Emperor in less than five years.
If they had some other fortuitous encounter, they might even be able to reach Consummation Blue Robed Emperor in two or three years.
As for Xiao Chen himself, even without the Blood Sword Sovereign's Life and Death Art, he would be able to reach Consummation Blue Robed Emperor in another three years.
In this great age, when those outstanding talents with Luck improved, it would not be an exaggeration to say that they advanced by leaps and bounds.
"Why do you look like you are not convinced?" The cultivator in luxurious clothes holding up a wine cup raised his eyebrows.
Xiao Chen smiled and did not say anything, continuing to watch the intense battle between the two in front of the door.
After watching for a while, Xiao Chen guessed the result. Although that middle-aged man was also a Consummation Blue Robed Emperor and was pretty strong, compared to Dugu Ao, his Movement Technique, strength, Martial Technique, and physical body was far weaker. However, compared to Dugu Ao, Xiao Chen's Movement Technique, strength, Martial Technique, and physical body were far inferior. Defeat was just a matter of time.
Now that Xiao Chen knew the result, he lost some interest and stopped paying attention to the battle in front of the door. Taking advantage of this opening, Xiao Chen picked a good seat on the second floor and ordered a table full of food and wine, minding his own business as he ate.
However, the result somewhat exceeded Xiao Chen's expectations. Just as the middle-aged cultivator was about to lose, a half-step Emperor Wu appeared.
A strange black snake tattoo hung down on this dazzling bald man's head, covering half of his face. That snake head happened to overlap with his left eye, looking extremely sinister.
The moment the bald half-step Emperor Wu revealed his cultivation, he immediately shocked the crowd and saved that middle-aged cultivator.
"Big Brother!" When the middle-aged man saw the bald man arrive, he revealed an expression of joy.
"So, it is a friend of the bald-headed snake, Wu Ke. No wonder he dares to oppose Dugu Ao."
Clearly, this bald man was quite famous. Many people in the restaurant knew him. The moment he appeared, many people recognized him.
"Young man, there is no need to be too arrogant. I will not bother with you this time."
Wu Ke looked coldly at Dugu Ao. Then, he quickly led the middle-aged cultivator away from this place.
Although Dugu Ao did not fear this bald man, he knew that he was not a match for him. If he fought head-on, he would be the one at a disadvantage.
Seeing the other party leave, Dugu Ao cursed unhappily. Then, he headed for the second floor. Dugu Ao looked around and immediately spotted a good spot for Xiao Chen. Then, he walked over.
"Scram. I've taken a fancy to this spot."
This was a place where the strong preyed on the weak. To the others, Dugu Ao's actions were very normal.
I'm stronger than you, so I have the authority to tell you to scram. If you are as strong as a half-step Emperor Wu, you can tell Dugu Ao to scram as well.
When most people encountered such a situation, they would pinch their noses and leave. In the Dragon Grave Sea, this was not a big deal.
"Interesting. This brat was unconvinced earlier. Now that he ran into Dugu Ao, he has no choice but to accept it," the well-dressed man who introduced Dugu Ao to Xiao Chen earlier said with a smile as he held up his wine cup.
Xiao Chen ignored Dugu Ao's words. He calmly drank his wine and ate as if he did not hear what Dugu Ao said.
"You are seeking death!"
Dugu Ao was already in a bad mood in the first place. Earlier, he suffered at the hands of the half-step Emperor Wu. Now, an insignificant Great Perfection Blue Robed Emperor dared to clash with him. His anger immediately flared up.
Dugu Ao raised his hand and punched at Xiao Chen.
At this moment, a light suddenly flashed in Xiao Chen's calm eyes. Xiao Chen gently flicked his right hand, and one of the two chopsticks in his hand flew at Dugu Ao's eyes like an arrow. The other quickly spun and clashed with Dugu Ao's fist.
"Whoosh!"
The strong wind was like a saber. The spinning chopsticks kicked up a sharp gale, blowing up all the hair in front of Dugu Ao's forehead.
This allowed Dugu Ao to see even more clearly. The chopstick stabbing at his eyes was like an unparalleled treasure saber, boundlessly sharp and containing a horrifying saber intent.
Dugu Ao's face sank. He had not expected to run into an expert.
His thoughts raced. He could not think of any other way to deal with this, aside from retreating.
"Bang!"
When the spinning chopsticks struck Dugu Ao's fist, he immediately felt pain. Without hesitation, he quickly pulled back his fist to protect his eyes and quickly retreated.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly. His right hand moved as fast as lightning, moving at a dazzling speed to grab the chopsticks flying at Dugu Ao's eyes. When Xiao Chen retreated, the second spinning chopstick happened to turn around.
The two chopsticks returned to Xiao Chen's hands. Then, he picked up some food and drank some wine. However, he still did not look at Dugu Ao.
After testing the waters, Xiao Chen's simple and miraculous two chopsticks easily forced back the enraged Dugu Ao, shocking everyone present.
