Book 5, The Godsword, Bloodviolet – Chapter 1, The Mysterious Magical Formation
Linley, too, could feel that his body was now far stronger than it had been in the past. Previously, his body was that of a warrior of the fourth rank, but now, he had suddenly reached the sixth rank. This was the inherent ability of the Dragonblood Warriors. Thinking back to the pain he had just suffered to reach this, Linley couldn't help but shiver.
"Linley, give your Dragonform a test." Doehring Cowart said with interest.
"Boss, give it a test!" Bebe was excited as well.
Linley slightly nodded. He, too, wanted to get a sense of what level of power his body now possessed when under the Dragonform transformation. Immediately, Linley began to exert his control over the Dragonblood battle-qi that had been compressed into a quasi-crystal at the dantian location, below his navel. Suddenly....
One stream after another of black liquid began to flow from his dantian to his body, his limbs, and his bones.
"Rrrrrgh." Letting out a deep growl, Linley watched as a dense layer of small black scales began to sprout on top of his skin, while at the same time, a row of spikes began to appear on his back, and a long, iron-whip-like tail sprouted out from his tailbone.
Compared to the Armored Razorback Wyrm, those spikes running along Linley's spine were slightly fewer in number and slightly shorter.
"I feel as though my body is filled with limitless power." Linley couldn't help but begin to grow excited. He felt so incredibly powerful. The Dragonblood Warrior, one of the Four Supreme Warriors of the Yulan continent. He had just begun his training in this area, but he already possessed enormous strength.
The Supreme Warriors really lived up to their name!
"The power I have right now, must be several tens of times greater than the power I had in my human form." Linley stretched out his right arm, which was currently covered with scales, and saw that his fingernails were now as sharp as knives.
Linley suddenly leapt off the ground with a mighty kick...
As fast as a streak of fire, Linley charged into middle of the wide cave, then delivered a powerful blow to the cave wall. With an earth-shaking sound, rocks begin to fall down from the cave walls. His arm pierced all the way into the stone wall, and to Linley, it felt as though it was as easy as piercing his arm into soft mud.
Such incredible power.
"Harrgh!" Letting out a loud, excited shout, Linley lashed out with two mighty kicks at the wall as well, immediately blasting a huge hole into it, causing rocks to rain down from even the ceiling.
With a kick of his legs, Linley sent himself flying in the air...
And then, with his twin fists, Linley gave the cave ceiling a mighty smash.
"Bam!" The ceiling of the cave cracked like the shell of a turtle, and one giant boulder after another began to fall down from the ceiling. But Linley wasn't afraid in the slightest. These boulders wouldn't do any harm at all when slamming into his body. The black scales protecting his body right now were far more powerful than even the jadestone armor his Earthguard spell provided.
"Swish!" "Swish!" "Swish!"
Linley's body transformed into a vicious black blur. Sometimes he would land on the ground, while at other times, he would rise into the mid-air. Sometimes, he would use all of his strength while smashing his legs into the wall with ferocious kicks, while other times he would viciously pummel the cave ceiling with his fists and allow the rocks to fall on his body.
