The few passive abilities weren't complicated!
Tang Zheng raised his arm and looked at his palm and skin. There was no change. The first 5 passive abilities, like "Golden Dragon Scale Enhancement" and "Claw Attack, Wing Enhancement," were listed.
They were clearly passive abilities that could only be used after transforming; there was no passive boost in his human form.
"'True Dragon Lord's Murmur'."
Seeing the vague description of this passive, Tang Zheng's expression changed slightly. He quickly chanted in a low voice:
"Magic Arrow!"
Whoosh—Whoosh—!
Ten streams of white arrows shot out, accurately striking a rock in the distance and shattering it.
"Magic can still be used."
The situation Tang Zheng was worried about hadn't occurred. He frowned slightly: "So what is the ability of this passive?"
He continued to look down at the information.
"Need to consume 10% of HP and MP to transform? It's actually a percentage consumption."
"This skill shouldn't have existed originally. Is it because I took the job of [Dragon Race Transcender] as a human that this skill appeared?"
Tang Zheng was lost in thought, even a little surprised. He realized his understanding of jobs was still somewhat shallow.
"Hmm?"
As he looked at the remaining two Class Skills, he found that both of them were grayed out.
"Flame Breath (Degraded) (Usable after transformation)"
"Sulfur Breath (Degraded) (Usable after transformation)"
"This should mean they can't be used."
Tang Zheng felt he might need to thoroughly study "Human Form" and "Dragon Lord Form."
Some abilities between these two forms probably couldn't be shared.
"As expected of a Dragon Race Special Class."
"In addition to the standard Dragon Race combat specialization, it also has an additional numerical increase from 'Dragon Race Transcendence Power'. The most special thing is the 10-level cap."
Tang Zheng raised his hand and rubbed his cheek. He felt today was simply a lucky day.
Just this incredibly high numerical bonus alone was a huge gain!
One had to know that in the game "YGGDRASIL," whether it was a High-Tier Job or a Special Class, the job level was only 5.
However, the native jobs possessed by the Dragon Race in this Different World could generally be leveled up to 10!
No wonder the Dragon Race was the strongest race in the Different World!
"Golden Dragon Lord Transformation!" Tang Zheng low-roared.
*Rumble!*
The air boomed.
The figure of the 20-plus-meter-tall Golden Dragon Lord reappeared in the valley, its golden scales shimmering brilliantly under the sunlight.
A sulfurous smell wafted from its mouth and nose. As it breathed, the Golden Dragon Lord that Tang Zheng had transformed into exhaled sparks.
Just standing still!
A terrifying sense of oppression constantly affected the surroundings.
This time, Tang Zheng's transformation wasn't accompanied by the initial worry. He curiously swung his dragon claws and wings, and even controlled his dragon tail to curl into a circle:
"There's no awkwardness at all. It feels as natural as controlling my own body."
The sound it made was different from his original human voice, becoming rough, cold, with a sense of majesty and metallic texture.
He looked at the Attribute Panel again.
The Class Skills for [Dragon Race Transcender] had recovered and were in a usable state. However, the Magic skills on the panel were all grayed out, showing they couldn't be used.
"Magic Arrow!"
Tang Zheng activated the magic and began chanting, but nothing happened.
"So that's it. This must be the effect of the passive ability 'True Dragon Lord's Murmur'."
"Magic isn't affected in Human Form, but in Dragon Lord Form, I can't use the power of Tier Magic."
Tang Zheng tried his other skills one by one and found that only magic couldn't be used.
Facing this situation,
Tang Zheng's eyes, however, grew brighter and brighter: "Does this mean that in Dragon Lord Form, I can learn Origin Magic?"
Tier Magic and Origin Magic are in conflict!
Once Tier Magic is mastered, Origin Magic cannot be used. This is why the Dragon Lords referred to Tier Magic as defilement.
But now.
The inability to use normal magic in Dragon Lord Form is actually good news in a way!
"It's still uncertain; further verification is needed." Tang Zheng was a bit excited. He felt that this situation was very likely due to the influence of the True Dragon Lord's Heart.
How could he not be excited?!
This was Origin Magic—the strongest power in the Different World!
Putting aside the power of Origin Magic itself for now, the True Dragon Lord's job structure, in addition to the standard 50 levels of racial jobs, generally also has three other jobs!
Dragon Race Transcender Lv10, Primal Chanter Lv10, World Connector Lv10!
This is the standard 80-level job structure. For the remaining 20 levels, different True Dragon Lords would develop in different directions based on the focus of their power.
For example, the Platinum Dragon Lord's Soul Reverer, and the Cursed Coffin Dragon Lord's Soul Desecrator.
"If I can get my hands on the World Connector job, then I'll really hit the jackpot!"
Based on the situation with these True Dragon Lords, this world-class job clearly possesses "World Protection," similar to a World-Class Item.
A good while passed!
Only then did Tang Zheng manage to calm himself down. The involvement of Origin Magic subconsciously made him think of the Cursed Coffin Dragon Lord's Soul Extinguishing Breath.
However, it was just a thought.
Soul Extinguishing Breath is different from other Origin Magic; it's a power that cannot be used by the living.
Unless one is prepared to sacrifice their own soul for a mutual destruction, similar to the World-Class Item Holy Slayer's Spear, where everyone gets deleted.
Of course.
The Cursed Coffin Dragon Lord's method of transforming himself into an Undead and exploiting a bug is a different matter.
Tang Zheng didn't know yet if he could obtain Origin Magic, and even if he could, he had no intention of transforming himself into an Undead.
"Plans really can't keep up with changes. Why does it feel like I'm developing in two different panel directions?"
Tang Zheng muttered, thinking about how some abilities in Human Form and Dragon Race Form weren't shared.
Fortunately, the various stats were unaffected!
"Next, I need to test some skills to determine more detailed information!"
"First is—"
"Heroic Spirit Soul!"
Tang Zheng roared.
*Swish!*
White Holy Light emerged and split off from the Golden Dragon that Tang Zheng had transformed into. In the blink of an eye, a giant dragon image identical to Tang Zheng condensed in mid-air, only it was white.
"Amazing!"
"As expected of the ace move of a Special Class, it can even transform the dragon form."
Tang Zheng looked at the pure white giant dragon hovering in mid-air, also flapping its wings, his pupils widening slightly.
"Right, what if I also combine it with..."
Flesh Armament!
The white giant dragon of Heroic Spirit Soul was quickly covered by a layer of crimson armor. Scale patterns the size of washbasins covered its entire body.
This transformed the Heroic Spirit Soul dragon, which had just looked like a construct-like creature, into something resembling a fire dragon!
"Interesting."
Tang Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly.
...
Two days later, in the evening.
In the courtyard outside the castle.
The Holy Kingdom team, led by Remedios, was confronting a member of the Sunlight Scripture.
"Who do you think you're talking to!"
Remedios lifted a member of the Sunlight Scripture by the collar with one hand, speaking coldly from above.
"I, I didn't!"
The Scripture member was a bit startled and instinctively took a step back.
But as a Magic Caster, how could he compare to a Warrior's speed?
Remedios looked at the frightened Scripture member in front of her, her eyes filled with contempt: "Did the Slane Theocracy not teach you the proper etiquette when facing someone of higher status from another country?"
Although he was taller, he was easily grabbed by the collar and lifted with one hand by Remedios.
The commotion here!
It caused the other members of the Sunlight Scripture present to assume defensive stances, and the atmosphere became tense.
Captain Ian finally walked out of the castle. His usually gentle face had become uncharacteristically troubled and unpleasant during this time.
Not only had the mission made no progress, but with the appearance of the people from the Holy Kingdom, many variables had been added. It was impossible for them to just happen to show up.
Clearly.
It was Team Leader Tang of the Free Will who had sent someone to inform the Holy Kingdom. This showed that they were wary of the Slane Theocracy.
It was all the Wind Flower Scripture's fault!
Why did they have to steal the potion that Team Leader Tang gave to the Holy Kingdom?
Captain Ian actually felt that the High Priests hadn't thought things through thoroughly enough, but of course, he wouldn't express this thought.
"Captain Remedios, I apologize to you on his behalf." Captain Ian stepped forward, trying to keep his tone calm, and spoke apologetically, making a concession.
He didn't ask what happened.
Nor did he dwell on who was right or wrong, because it was pointless!
The moment the people from the Holy Kingdom appeared here, Captain Ian knew that they would definitely cause trouble, even though he had already warned his subordinates.
"Hah!"
Remedios sneered, "My personal honor and disgrace are insignificant. I am the Captain of the Paladin Order! I represent the honor of the Roble Holy Kingdom!"
"This disrespect cannot be ignored, no matter what!"
Whoosh—hiss!
The sound of a blade rubbing against a scabbard rang out.
Remedios drew her Holy Sword and plunged it into the ground in front of her. She pressed her hands on the hilt, solemn and serious: "Therefore—in my capacity as a Paladin!"
"I initiate a fair duel, and the outcome will be the response!"
Behind her.
Black Pabel, who had been silently watching everything with his arms crossed, suddenly heard about the duel and his expression changed slightly.
"The Captain has grown as well," Peach Isadro, the middle-aged man, instead showed a hint of a relieved smile on his face.
"Paladin capacity" represented the individual.
Regardless of the outcome, it would not escalate to the national level.
But—
Captain Ian's forced smile froze on his face. With their status, how could they possibly represent only themselves!
What angered Captain Ian even more was that Remedios hadn't looked him in the eye the entire time. The so-called "fair duel" wasn't directed at him.
This was an intangible humiliation!
No matter how angry Captain Ian was, he knew clearly that his strength was even weaker than the former Captain Nigun, and he was no match for Remedios at all.
"Oh~"
"It's the handsome Paladin."
Just then, Clementine was leaning against the main entrance, greeting them with a sickeningly sweet voice, her lips gradually splitting into a grin.
"Clementine!" Remedios's tone was icy.
"Hi, Sir Paladin, you're so serious, crying must look really good!" Clementine smiled teasingly.
Gale Acceleration
In an instant.
Clementine's figure disappeared from where she stood.
Remedios's pupils narrowed slightly. She grabbed the Holy Sword in her hand and blocked her left chest.
—Clang!
A crisp collision sound rang out.
Remedios pressed down with the sword, her gaze cold as she raised her right leg for a side kick. Her incredibly fast reaction allowed her to execute the most suitable attack method at the moment.
"As a woman, you're really crude," Clementine mocked mercilessly, taking a step back, but the short cone in her right hand stabbed out sharply again.
Force Strike!
A layer of blue light flashed on the Holy Sword, and its speed and power suddenly increased.
Clementine's purple pupils gleamed with excited madness. She changed her grip on the short blade she had stabbed out: Unfalling Fortress.
Bang.
A soft, muffled collision sound.
Remedios's sword swing was nullified by the defensive Martial Arts. Her neat brown hair spread out, and her voice became even colder: Flow Acceleration, Force Strike!
"Hehe, Flow Acceleration, Super Evasion!"
Not only did Clementine not retreat, but she took a step forward, her beast-like aura becoming even more intense.
The two were locked in close combat!
Ruthlessly swinging their Holy Sword and short cone.
Clang—Clang—Bang!
Intense clashes echoed through the courtyard, sparks flying from the metal weapons illuminating the eyes of both Remedios and Clementine.
One was chillingly cold, the other cruelly gleeful!
Their movements grew faster and faster, almost turning into afterimages. Only a handful of people present could keep track of their actions.
The formidable power of the Hero Domain was on full display, leaving everyone stunned and forcing them to retreat to give the two more space.
"Will you only dodge?!"
"Your expression is wonderful, completely different from those small fry!"
Clementine's greedy and fervent emotions seemed to overflow from her face, her lithe body displaying terrifying flexibility.
"A fraction too slow!"
Clementine was inwardly excited, her eyes like keen hawk eyes.
Sword-type weapons had a range advantage over the short cones in her hands. Pulling away would be disadvantageous; close-quarters combat could further suppress the opponent's sword swings.
"As expected of the Holy Kingdom's strongest Paladin, the suppression is limited, but it's enough."
Clementine's eyes caught a momentary opening, her slender waist bending at an unbelievable angle.
The short cone instantly passed through the gap in the Holy Sword!
In that instant.
Remedios instinctively turned her head, the chillingly sharp short cone grazing her cheek as it flew past.
"Sky Slash!"
Remedios roared, completely unaffected by the previous attack.
Bang!
Clementine raised her hand, drawing another short cone from her waist to block in front of her.
The powerful force made her retreat, leaving a shallow scratch on the ground!
"Good reaction, huh~"
Clementine tilted her head and laughed wildly, "You actually dodged that."
At this moment.
On the highest floor of the castle.
Tang Zheng stood by the window, watching the battle below with some surprise and calmness. "These two are actually fighting?"
He had just returned from deep within the southern mountain range and hadn't expected to witness this grand spectacle as soon as he arrived at the castle.
