Xiao Yufan’s chaotic consciousness was completely restored by that void-like thunderous sound, though his eyes still refused to open.
As the dragon-like roar gradually faded, Xiao Yufan felt his previously dissipated inner energy returning entirely.
Condensed Qi Midstage, Condensed Qi Peak, Condensed Energy Early Stage—in the midst of Xiao Yufan’s astonishment, his cultivation level unexpectedly stabilized at Condensed Energy Midstage. This sudden stroke of fortune left him feeling lightheaded with joy.
“Can this even be considered heavenly fortune dropping from the sky? Is it really necessary to be this thrilling?”
In Xiao Yufan’s mind, reaching the Condensed Energy stage would have taken at least another year. Yet now, after that wild surge of energy, his power had directly leaped to the Condensed Energy Midstage.
Although Xiao Yufan wished for even greater strength, he could only dream. Such rapid progress was already astonishing enough—he naturally couldn’t ask for more.
That mysterious and domineering force continuously surged through his body, and with every wave, Xiao Yufan couldn’t help but let out a pleasurable groan.
Unfortunately, Xiao Yufan remained somewhat disappointed, as he still couldn’t detect even a trace of that energy, nor did he know where it originated.
However, just as Xiao Yufan, filled with disappointment, was about to give up, another explosion of sound erupted within his consciousness. This time, the sound was startlingly clear.
A dragon’s roar—yes, a pure dragon’s cry. Upon hearing it, Xiao Yufan’s expression changed drastically. Why was there such a sound within his consciousness? It was simply too bizarre.
If the previous rumbling sound had any effect on him, this time was entirely different. With this dragon’s roar, his entire body became extremely hot.
Suddenly, the dragon’s cry sounded again. This time, Xiao Yufan felt a faint sense of anticipation. If this energy surge accompanied by the dragon’s roar could further elevate his strength, that would be wonderful.
However, Xiao Yufan’s hopeful thoughts were dashed. At this moment, the dragon’s cry reverberated repeatedly in his mind, but instead of feeling any improvement in strength, he felt his entire body fall into an extremely empty and tranquil state.
Silence enveloped everything, save for the dragon’s cry.
It seemed as if all other sounds in the entire world had vanished, even his own breathing became imperceptible. His mind was filled entirely with the dragon’s roar.
Suddenly, Xiao Yufan felt another tremendous tremor in his spirit, for he had sensed a strange, unfamiliar energy pulsing within his consciousness!
Not only that, but after the energy surged forth, it transformed into a clear, resonant laughter echoing in his mind, leaving Xiao Yufan both terrified and stunned.
“The Star of Breaking the Army, the Heir of Heaven’s Heart—I did not expect the ultimate destination of the True Dragon Art to be such a prodigy. With this matter now settled, I hope the worthy heir will cherish and protect this True Dragon Art well!”
“The True Dragon Art?” Xiao Yufan’s mind exploded with confusion, not even sure what he was thinking. At that moment, countless scenes flashed through his mind.
Minutes later, Xiao Yufan slowly regained his composure. Besides the newly acquired memory of the True Dragon Art, everything else felt like a dream.
“How could this be?”
Muttering to himself, Xiao Yufan could feel the jade pendant on his chest slowly shattering. It turned out this pendant had truly concealed a profound secret.
Nonetheless, for Xiao Yufan, this was undoubtedly a blessing. Not only had his strength improved, but he had also obtained such a miraculous True Dragon Art. Others would be laughing in their sleep if they received such a gift.
Had this happened years ago, Xiao Yufan would have been shocked beyond belief. But now, many strange occurrences seemed less bizarre.
With the revival of ancient martial arts, the world was stirring with unseen forces—how much more remained unknown to him?
At this moment, his resentment toward the hidden Guo family had somewhat lessened. If it hadn’t been for that idiot bringing him to this state, perhaps he would never have encountered such a rare opportunity. Yet the memory of that heart-wrenching pain still lingered vividly.
“Hidden Guo family, Guo Junyu? Just wait. I’ll make you pay with blood soon enough!”
A flash of ferocity flickered across his body. Although Xiao Yufan’s mind was clear, his body had become unresponsive. He needed to adapt quickly, after all, he hadn’t moved his body for over ten days.
However, Xiao Yufan was unaware that many members of the hidden Huangpu family had already gathered outside the bamboo house, seemingly waiting for something.
“Xian’er, did you see anything unusual inside the bamboo house?”
Seeing Huangpu Xian’er step out of the bamboo house, Huangpu Yi smiled and asked. With his cultivation level, he could sense the energy fluctuations inside, though he had no idea what exactly had transpired.
“I only heard a loud sound, like a dragon’s roar. But I didn’t notice anything else.”
Seeing her grandfather, Huangpu Xian’er’s slightly dazed expression gradually eased. She had stayed inside for quite a while earlier but found nothing suspicious. She had even circled the wooden tub where Xiao Yufan sat.
Thinking of Xiao Yufan sitting naked inside the tub, a blush spread from her cheeks to her ears. Especially when the energy surge shattered the only piece of cloth covering him, leaving her with a clear view…
“That’s strange then. Could there be someone else nearby?”
Huangpu Yi noticed the change in his granddaughter’s expression but didn’t dwell on it. After all, it was natural for a young girl to feel shy after witnessing such a scene.
“I think the sound came from him.”
At this moment, Huangpu Xian’er finally spoke. However, this simple sentence stunned everyone present. How could a person emit such a sound?
“You mean that young man from the Situ family has awakened? And that he was the one who let out that dragon’s roar?”
Huangpu Yi’s eyes widened, as if he had heard something utterly unbelievable. However, seeing no sign of deception in his granddaughter’s clear eyes, he reluctantly began to believe her.
“He hasn’t woken up yet. But I was the closest to him at that moment, so my perception should be correct. Also, his cultivation level jumped directly from Condensed Qi Peak to Condensed Energy Midstage. I think it must be related to that dragon’s roar.”
Hssss…
Upon hearing Huangpu Xian’er’s words, everyone’s expressions changed. There were many powerful experts among those present, but hearing that Xiao Yufan had leaped from Condensed Qi Peak to Condensed Energy Midstage still shocked them. Even with the most extraordinary talent, such a rapid breakthrough was simply too incredible…
