Over the past two days, Tang Zheng had been exploring his "Dragon Lord Form."
The stats for both "Human Form" and "Dragon Lord Form" were shared, but the fighting styles were clearly worlds apart.
It took Tang Zheng quite a bit of effort to barely adapt to the Golden Dragon Lord's body. After all, he had an extra pair of wings and a tail, and his body was much larger.
He finally started to understand the power of the dragon race.
In "Dragon Lord Form," the attack methods were extremely varied, possessing all three physical attack attributes: slashing, piercing, and bludgeoning.
To put it simply, his entire body could be used as a weapon.
Tang Zheng withdrew his gaze and chuckled as he spoke to the Emerald Witch behind him, "Cui Ye, have Anri go stop those two."
"Now that everyone's here, as the host, I should make an appearance."
"Anri?"
The Emerald Witch's respectful expression froze for a moment, and hesitation showed in her bright yellow pupils. She whispered, "Those two human women are powerful. Will Anri be..."
She didn't finish her sentence.
Clementine and Remedios were powerhouses in the Hero Domain, and even though Anri had been training with Go Gin, the Martial King, and Hector Weiss, the Beast General, for a while now,
her strength was still weak.
"Just give her an Iron Sword," Tang Zheng said with a smile.
"Understood, Master."
The Emerald Witch's eyes lit up. She bowed and turned to leave.
He looked at his Attribute Panel.
...
Comprehensive Level: 52Lv
[Experience Bar: 1972w/92w]
Classes:
Basic Class: Genius 10Lv (Warrior...)
Intermediate Class: Sword Saint 1Lv
Advanced/Special Class:
Magic Swordsman 5Lv... Dragon Race Transcender 1Lv
...
In two days, the experience bar had increased by another 3 million, and the experience points were close to 20 million. Because he had leveled up by 1 level before, he had taken the [Sword Saint] class.
And the depth of the experience bar had also increased by 2 levels, becoming 920,000. After level 50, each level up increased the experience points needed by 70,000.
"With the [Dragon Race Transcender] class, perhaps I can trigger the acquisition of Origin Magic while in transformed state."
"However, experimenting with that will be quite difficult," Tang Zheng mused, shaking his head.
Based on his previous deductions about taking "classes,"
to obtain "Origin Magic," he first had to come into contact with that magic, and then trigger the dragon race's origin-type classes through the power of "Origin Magic."
After much thought,
there were currently only three ways to come into contact with "Origin Magic."
1: Contact a True Dragon Lord. As long as they use "Origin Magic," he could indirectly confirm whether he could obtain the power of Origin Magic.
2: Try to contact Kingdom Destroyer of "Blue Rose." Their Innate Ability stored the Origin Magic of "Soul Absorption."
Although he had contacted them in the Kingdom last time, he didn't have the [Dragon Race Transcender] class, which could isolate tier magic, so there was no possibility of triggering it. This time, he could try again.
3: Contact Drodilon Auricrus, the "Dragon Queen" of the Dragon Kingdom. She had the bloodline of the Seven-Colored Dragon Lord and an Innate Ability that allowed her to use Origin Magic.
These were the three ways Tang Zheng currently knew of in this Different World to come into contact with Origin Magic, or rather, the people who could use the power of Origin Magic were few in number.
"Blue Rose is not currently in the Royal Capital. I need to have Imina use the power of Eight Fingers to determine their location."
After a brief thought, Tang Zheng decided to try contacting Kingdom Destroyer first.
The first method was directly ruled out. Perhaps it was the most efficient method, not only potentially allowing him to obtain [Primal Chanter], but even [World Connector].
But this required confronting a True Dragon Lord, or at least seeing a True Dragon Lord cast Origin Magic, and Tang Zheng wasn't that reckless.
Tang Zheng hadn't been to the Dragon Kingdom before, and without a "Magic Mark," he would have to constantly use Teleport Magic to get there.
Moreover, for the Dragon Queen to cast "Origin Magic," she needed to consume souls, which she could only obtain by killing living beings.
Given her personality, she wouldn't activate her Innate Ability unless she was forcefully compelled or controlled.
"Blue Rose, huh?"
Tang Zheng shook his head slightly. He hadn't left a Magic Mark on Blue Rose and the others at the time.
After all, Kingdom Destroyer and her companions were not weak. If he had left a Magic Mark, it would likely have been discovered, which would have been counterproductive.
"I've accumulated so much experience. I should increase my strength first, since I'll be heading to the Slane Theocracy next."
Tang Zheng came back to his senses, activated Teleport magic, and disappeared again. He needed to find a quiet place to level up first.
Deep in the southern mountain range.
"Level up!" Tang Zheng thought to himself the moment he appeared.
Boom!
Boom!
Waves of powerful energy continuously surged within Tang Zheng's body, filled with a terrifyingly wild impact.
In the blink of an eye!
...
Comprehensive Level: 60Lv
[Experience Bar: 8.92M/1.48M]
Classes:
Dragon Race Transcender 9Lv
...
This power was a bit too volatile.
It caused Tang Zheng's entire body to turn red, wisps of white steam escaping from his pores, and veins bulging on his arms and neck.
The power, far exceeding what he could easily control before, was temporarily impossible to completely suppress.
With a muffled "bang".
Tang Zheng swung his fist into the air, and the air in front of him was shattered by the punch, a sound like muffled thunder exploding.
Rumble!
The airwave formed by the punch was like a powerful shockwave, destroying everything in its path. A thick tree was hit by the impact and shattered.
The broken wood chips and leaves, like brown-green blood, scattered in the air!
"The attribute increase is a bit too strong!"
Tang Zheng exhaled a puff of white mist, looking ahead at the fan-shaped destruction left by his full-force punch, his eyes twitching slightly.
He had leveled up quickly before, but it never felt this powerful.
"There's still over 8 million experience points, that's enough."
"Level up!"

...
Looking at the depth of the Experience Bar on the Attribute Panel, it suddenly jumped from 1.48 million to 1.88 million.
Tang Zheng was surprised.
From level 50 to 60, each level only added 70,000 experience points, but after level 60, it suddenly jumped by 400,000?
Before he could recover from the drastic increase in the depth of his Experience Bar.
After reaching the max level in [Dragon Race Transcender], the passive effect of "Dragon Race Transcendence Power" triggered, and his attributes saw another large-scale surge.
Hiss—Bang!
The suddenly surging aura transformed into an invisible wave of air, directly bursting the white Priest Robe Tang Zheng was wearing, turning it into scattered rags.
Thud!
The ground beneath Tang Zheng's feet began to sink and crack over a large area. The vibrating soil and gravel didn't rise at all; instead, they were firmly pressed down by an invisible pressure.
"This increase is a bit too much!!"
"This is my own power, there's no reason I shouldn't be able to control it!" Tang Zheng's face turned even redder. He raised his arm, thick with bulging veins, and clenched his fist.
Crack!
A wave of air exploded from his palm.
The blood throughout his body seemed to be flowing rapidly, even producing a sound like flowing water. A faint golden glow appeared on the surface of his skin.
This gave his exposed skin and muscles a metallic texture!
High-temperature white steam continuously turned into waves of heat, causing the surrounding air to distort slightly.
"Hmph!"
Tang Zheng clenched both fists, his pupils widened, and he let out a cold snort. The explosive power and bulging veins throughout his body began to contract.
"—Roar."
A faint dragon's roar sounded beside Tang Zheng's ear.
As his pores gradually contracted, the high-temperature white steam gathered above Tang Zheng's head, and the metallic glowing energy that had appeared all over his body instantly turned into shattered golden fragments!
Above Tang Zheng, these fragments condensed into the image of a giant dragon composed mainly of white high-temperature mist, dotted with golden fragments, before subsequently dissipating.
"A simple numerical increase isn't something new."
"Is such a strong reaction because the higher the level, the more significant the intensity increase from added stats compared to lower levels?"
Tang Zheng looked at his hand. His skin had returned to a normal state, but upon closer inspection, one could still notice the change in its strength and toughness.
Looking at the [Attribute Table].
When he noticed that the total percentage had reached 573%, Tang Zheng couldn't help but gasp.
The overall stat bonus from [Dragon Race Transcender] was indeed powerful!
If he remembered correctly.
Aura, one of the Floor Guardians, only had a total of 568%.
Of course.
Stats are stats, and combat power is combat power. Aura's build is that of a Tamer, and her strength lies in group combat. She has a hundred Magical Beasts, with the highest tier reaching level 80.
She can also raise them to level 90 through support Magic. In short, none of these Floor Guardians are simple characters.
"If I didn't have Instant Death Resistance, I might be able to clear all the Magical Beasts at once using the Super-Tier Magic [Sacrifice of Dark Harvest]."
"Hmm, probably not possible."
Tang Zheng subconsciously thought of countermeasures, then shook his head. It was still too early to think about such things.
"Hmm?"
He suddenly noticed a faint golden reflection on the surface of his fingernails.
Tang Zheng reached out and grabbed a mirror from his Item Box to look at himself. Although his appearance hadn't changed much, he could clearly notice that he seemed to have become a bit more handsome.
The most noticeable change was his hair.
He actually had a few strands of golden hair mixed in with his black hair.
"The 'Golden Bloodline: Dragon Lord' passive actually has this kind of effect." Tang Zheng slightly furrowed his brow, immediately realizing the reason for this change.
"Heh."
He let out a cold laugh.
"I don't need this kind of outward manifestation." Tang Zheng suddenly tensed up, adjusted the power within his body, and let out a low growl:
"Just the influence of a mere class, get back in there!"
A heart-palpitating, invisible fluctuation overflowed!
The golden hair that had appeared on his head seemed to be expelled by an invisible force, gradually turning black from the roots, and returning to its original black color.
"There are no more classes to level up. I still have over 7 million Experience Points. I need to get rid of [Sword Saint]."
"If I use it all to cast 10th-tier 'Papermaking', I can activate it 14 times, which is barely enough to make one 10th-tier scroll." Tang Zheng did a quick calculation and felt that a few million experience points weren't enough to spend.
10th-tier 'Papermaking' can produce two 10th-tier sheets of paper, and making one scroll requires 20 sheets.
Also!
He was only level 60 now, and the depth of the Experience Bar was already increasing by 400,000 per level. He feared the experience point cost would only increase for the remaining levels.
This thought flashed through Tang Zheng's mind.
At this moment!
Outside the castle.
The people from the Holy Kingdom and the Slane Theocracy were tensely watching Clementine and Remedios fighting.
The clash between the Holy Sword and the Short Cone grew more intense!
"Hehe, your attacks are just as stiff as you are."
Clementine's attacks became faster and more frantic. The Short Cone turned into streaks of cold light, constantly blooming before Remedios's eyes:
"A Paladin missing an eye will be even cuter~"
Facing the increasingly fast attack speed.
A hint of displeasure appeared on Remedios's face. The opponent was too close, making it impossible for her to utilize the Paladin's advantages. She could only retreat, trying to create distance.
Anri's eyes couldn't catch the movements of the two at all. She could only see two blurry afterimages, her voice a little shaky: "Stop fighting,"
However!
Remedios and Clementine completely ignored her.
Anri felt a sense of pressure.
Captain would definitely be able to do this easily.
Perhaps Miss Cui Ye could too, but Miss Cui Ye is a demi-human, and Anri knew that the Holy Kingdom and the Slane Theocracy intensely disliked demi-humans.
Free Will cannot be underestimated.
Thinking of Miss Cui Ye's reminder.
"You two!"
Anri gritted her teeth, grabbed a regular Iron Sword from her waist, and held it with both hands: "Please stop!"
—In an instant!
Clementine and Remedios paused their fight simultaneously, retreating in unison. While keeping an eye on their opponent, they glanced at Anri out of the corner of their eyes.
Along with them.
"Peach" Isadro, Captain Ian, and others also looked at Anri with grave expressions.
Those present had personally witnessed Anri eliminate a legendary Undead Soul-Eating Demon with a single sword strike. Now, seeing the young girl draw her sword.
Even though they didn't sense any threat, they subconsciously became vigilant.
"Captain has finished researching the Alchemy Potion."
Anri's Chestnut Gold three-strand braid hung neatly in front of her chest. She spoke with a tense face: "Please everyone, come to the castle!"
She knew these people were intimidated by her drawing her sword. Even if it was a bit deceitful, the reputation of Free Will absolutely could not be tarnished.
Even if it meant risking her life, she wouldn't hesitate!
Having her fight interrupted.
And being intimidated by a weakling.
"You... Tch, that's enough playing for now~" A surge of insane bloodlust rose in Clementine's eyes. She was about to call out "fodder," but suddenly noticed Tang Zheng behind the other party and instantly sobered up.
