When this drop of dragon blood was forced out of Long Chen's body, his face instantly turned pale.
"Boss, you ...,"
Guo Ran looked at Long Chen in shock.
"I'm going to give you a blood replacement. This is the essence blood of the Golden Dragon. Although I've absorbed much of its sacred power, it still possesses great strength. For you, it should be just right and able to withstand it." Long Chen said.
"Boss, I ...," Guo Ran choked up.
"Can you be a little more ambitious? You can't die, it just hurts a bit." Long Chen shouted angrily.
"No, boss, you're just too good to me, I... I didn't know what to do. As Guo Ran spoke, tears began to fall.
"Don't talk to me about useless things. I won't soften. To achieve the best fusion effect, you must fuse when you're in the most intense pain.
You must hold back, guard your spiritual platform, and not let your will slack. Otherwise, if you fail, I'll have to draw new essence blood. I don't have much of this true dragon essence blood." Long Chen said.
Although this dragon blood already contained Long Chen's will, Guo Ran's willpower was extremely weak, worse than that of an ordinary person.
If Guo Ran's will collapses during fusion, Long Chen must give up immediately; otherwise, Guo Ran's soul will suffer severe damage and even face death.
If he gave up, the dragon blood's activity would disappear, truly a waste. At this moment, veins bulged on Guo Ran's forehead, and the pain was almost at his limit.
Long Chen divided the drop of essence blood into three parts: one at most, one second, and the least part. He placed the smallest portion on Guo Ran's forehead.
"Buzz!"
Golden ripples instantly spread throughout Guo Ran's entire body. Guo Ran shuddered, his eyes instantly rolling back.
"Wake up!"
Long Chen shouted, pulling Guo Ran back to his senses just as he was about to faint.
Long Chen was so angry he wanted to slap this kid. His willpower was way too weak, almost losing his confidence. How did the Dragon Blood Legion produce such a weirdo?
"Hang in there, or my blood will be wasted." Long Chen cursed.
Guo Ran was in so much pain he couldn't speak, only nodding desperately—he was trying his best.
When this first drop of blood merged into Guo Ran's body, it finally merged with the dormant blood energy within him. After all, Guo Ran was a dragon blood warrior and had practiced the Dragon Blood Body Refining Technique, so he had a strong affinity for dragon blood. After a bout of intense pain, he gradually adapted.
Ripples appeared on Guo Ran's body, resembling scales—in fact, the patterns of scales.
Once the pattern was fully formed, Long Chen began to inject the second drop of dragon blood into Guo Ran's body. This drop of dragon blood had a noticeably less intense impact, and Guo Ran gritted his teeth and held on.
When the second drop of dragon blood was injected, scales sprouted from the patterns on Guo Ran's body. These scales were extremely tender, and as time passed, they kept growing stronger.
An hour later, Long Chen injected the third drop of dragon blood into Guo Ran's body. Guo Ran could no longer hold on and fainted.
However, this time, Long Chen did not wake him. The crucial part had already passed, and now it was all in place. Even if Guo Ran was unconscious, this third drop of dragon blood would still be infused into Guo Ran's dragon scales.
This dragon blood would automatically transform Guo Ran's body, which was completely opposite to Long Chen's original transformation. Long Chen had transformed his body from the inside out, something Guo Ran simply couldn't bear.
So Long Chen came up with this plan: as long as he survived the first and second waves of dragon blood attacks, his mission would be complete.
Watching Guo Ran covered in dragon scales, dragon blood flowing through his body, his body convulsing uncontrollably, but he had lost all sensation.
After finishing all this, Long Chen breathed a sigh of relief. In the Dragonblood Legion, Guo Ran was the most troublesome guy—he wasn't a qualified soldier at all.
Sometimes Long Chen admired himself, wondering how such a rookie could be forcibly turned into a strong figure. Even he found it a bit unbelievable.
Guo Ran slept for a full two days, and during those two days, Xie Qianqian, Tu Hu, and the others had also finished digesting the Heavenly Dao Fruit Long Chen had given them.
After waking up, they felt as if they had been reborn. Their spirits were refreshed, their vital energy flowing through their bodies, and they were filled with strength. Their strength seemed to have increased several times compared to before.
"Long Chen, what exactly did you feed us? How did our strength suddenly multiply several times over? Far greater than normal peers of the same rank—this is truly astonishing. Xie Qianqian looked excited, speaking somewhat incoherently.
The others were also excited. This way, their armor could be equipped with more runes and could carry even stronger armor.
"It's not that you're much stronger than normal experts, but that you are finally just like normal powerhouses now. You used to be just too weak." Long Chen shook his head and said.
To be honest, having eaten so many Heavenly Dao Fruits for them really felt like a waste of precious resources. The power of these fruits allowed them to stay until the late Immortal King stage without worrying about unstable realms, making up for the many losses they had previously suffered in pursuing their realms.
"Whatever, my strength has increased so much. I can upgrade my armor and empower more runes." Xie Qianqian didn't take Long Chen's assessment seriously and still said excitedly.
With every slight increase in power, the armor's enhancement makes it even stronger. Because of this, the experts of the Moluo Star Domain all pursue rapid advancement in realm, because elevating realm is the shortcut to rapidly increasing strength.
After all, they survived on their armor, so they ignored the danger of unstable realms, which led to a fatal weakness: at the same level, even ten couldn't beat one outsider.
If they couldn't summon their armor immediately, they could easily be wiped out. So, unless they were in an absolutely safe area, they always wore armor.
"Senior Brother Guo Ran..."
Tu Hu and the others suddenly cried out in alarm. They saw Guo Ran in the distance. At this moment, Guo Ran was already standing, his whole body covered in bloody flesh, and the ground was covered in black, sticky liquid.
Seeing Guo Ran stand up, Xie Qianqian quickly turned her head away, because at that moment, Guo Ran wasn't wearing anything.
At this moment, Guo Ran also realized what was happening and hurriedly put on his robe, but as soon as he took it out, he tore it to pieces.
"Oh my god... Guo
Ran opened his mouth in shock. The clothes were extremely sturdy, and in his hand, they were torn apart like scraps of paper. Only then did he realize his strength had suddenly surged to an unimaginable level.
Guo Ran carefully put his clothes back on, feeling the tremendous changes in his body and that vigorous vigor. He felt like crying, as if he had returned to the Dragon Blood Legion, transforming once more into the fierce and energetic Guo Ran.
"Do you have confidence now?" Long Chen asked with a smile.
"Haha, boss, rest assured. This time, I want to reclaim the dignity I lost." Guo Ran laughed heartily, speaking with high spirits.
The next day, on the agreed day, Guo Ran and the others had finished resting and concentrating, and they marched toward the arena, brimming with murderous intent.
