Rise of the White Dragon

Chapter 244: Returning to Earth

"It's close. It's hidden in the ground, or rather, is waiting for a victim to attack from the ground," Luan said.

"Yes, this snake has a great affinity for earth. It practically swims through the earth, but with my mental powers, I can hold it for a few seconds and you kill it," Lenore said coldly.

"Okay." Luan came down without warning. He already had a plan and had nothing else to say, but Lenore didn't expect him to act so fast.

The moment Luan's Qi Was felt, the snake with dragon's blood's face appeared with its mouth wide open. It was huge; King Kong would look like a baby next to this snake's frame.

Luan's speed wasn't to be underestimated. He used clouds and wind controlled by his Qi and dodged, the dragon blood snake biting the air.

Anger was expressed as the snake roared, aggressively baring its sharp teeth and continuing to chase after Luan.

Luan created clouds and had them act as a barrier. The snake with dragon's blood smashed into them and surprisingly couldn't break them as easily as it thought, and when it couldn't get through, it felt trapped.

"Now," Luan said.

"Oh…" Even the indifferent and cold Lenore couldn't help but be surprised. She used her mind control and made the snake freeze, unable to move. Now the snake with dragon blood was completely trapped.

Luan's sledgehammer appeared in his hand and began to grow absurdly. A well-aimed blow caught the snake's head, spraying dragon's blood.

*Bang!!*

*BOOOOOM!*

The gigantic body of the dragon's blood snake crashed to the ground. Luan didn't stop. He flew to the dragon's blood snake and gave it five more strikes in quick succession.

"It's dead," Luan confirmed.

"Yes..." Lenora expected a long fight. After all, it was from a monster with the strength of 10 dragons, but what exactly was that worth now? My god, she must have been delusional. How could there be someone like him in this world? But of course, she still remained cool and aloof.

They signed a contract. She didn't have to worry about him breaking it. She approached the dragon's blood snake and took something from the storage ring she wore. She then touched the bleeding head and the blood from the snake's battered body began to be sucked incessantly. Luan stayed and waited.

"There, the rest is yours," she said coldly.

"Mm." Luan nodded indifferently and approached. He put his hand on the snake's body and still felt dragon residue. He swallowed it all up and started to form his next Treasure, and then turned the rest into Credits.

[You received: 130,157 Credits]

It was still a good amount. Well, since it was a rare monster, maybe it was normal that it reached that amount.

After that, Luan turned to Lenore and said, "Our deal is complete, I'm leaving now."

"Okay," she replied coolly.

Luan created a cloud and flew off towards the city.

In town, he passed through the gate. In the store, he started looking at the items available for him to buy.

His weapon, although high level, was already wearing out. After all, it stored energy, it wasn't a weapon that generated energy by itself. Although a good part of it was used, if he wanted to continue with strong weapons, he would have to buy more of them or buy one that could store the Qi of heaven and earth, which was very expensive.

As he thought about it, he still preferred to buy disposable weapons. After all, he didn't intend to stay in the Fourth Order for very long. Spending Credits on a weapon that he would soon discard was stupid. He bought two other axes and also a larger Fourth Order storage ring, so he could even store something as big as a 10-story building.

Buying the necessary pills for cultivation, he left. As for armor? He didn't need any more. After all, he didn't use up his armor's durability once.

'By the way, she said she can repair weapons. Maybe I should take the sledgehammer to her later...' Luan thought. He was talking about the woman who has once been a man, Isabela.

Now, he had been cultivating for a long time. Maybe he would stay for a month longer to cultivate and go back to meet his family. Coming out through the big metal gate, people of different races started looking in Luan's direction. Some tried to move closer, but received a cold, indifferent look from him and turned away, especially when they sensed his level of cultivation.

If he had stopped to buy things for these people, he would have wasted a lot of time. The lost time for him was not worth it. It may have seemed trivial, but for him, it was easier to kill a horde of monsters than to help people buy things in the tower. After all, he was strong enough to do both of those, so he knew. The case of Ishmael was a different story, now Isabela.

*

When he got to the front of the cave, he saw Lenore.

"You came back," she said coldly.

"You're still here? If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't notice~" Luan said nonchalantly.

"Y-You... Same as before, don't bother me, and if you want, I know other places with strong monsters. We can partner up again," she said indifferently and coldly.

"Okay, but I don't know if I can. Let's see how long it will take." Luan shrugged and replied indifferently. After all, he would only stay one month. If the deadline expired, he would leave, even if her proposal was to kill a baby dragon, which, if taken on, would be a great advantage for him. Of course, if he dared to provoke a real, that might be a different story.

After entering Cabin 5, Luan cast 5 spells, and then sat down and began to meditate. After stabilizing his mind and spirit, he prepared to swallow the 'Spiritual Bone Pill'.

Luan's body boiled like a cauldron. He was in so much pain it made him scream out. His skin turned mercury red, his veins could be seen pulsing. The pain and cracking of the cracking bones were terrible. This continued until it finally started to dissipate and he swallowed another pill and this process continued over and over again. Little by little, his bones were getting stronger.

A few days later...

"Finally, the third stage…" It was a suffering that, if possible, he would have avoided, but as he wanted to build a powerful body, it was inevitable.

He left the cabin, jumped into the lake to wash away the impurities, and went back to the cabin. Now he had the strength of 5 dragons.

*

After taking a deep breath, he was calmer, and with a clear mind, he took the 'Nedrayng' pill and swallowed it. The coldness starts to freeze even the blood itself. He had bought a pill with a higher degree of quality. Because of that, the effect was even greater. In this, he harnessed the energy he took from the snake with dragon blood and began to merge with that of the pill while a vortex of Qi had formed and was being sucked into his body to fill the new Treasure that was in the process of forming.

The cold Yin Qi that came from the ingredients and the dragon's eye made him blurt out his murderous intent. Being a better quality pill, it took longer for him to stabilize.

This continued until the pill wore off and Luan swallowed another pill. The pill was the size of a human eye and was white and pure as snow. The pill was also cold, expelling a chilling sensation.

By the time he got to the fifth pill, he got used to the coldness and negativity and cruel feeling of the pills and quickly made it a part of him, and the process of creating a new Treasure reached its final stage. A diamond? Yes, a diamond started to take shape. It was blue and shiny. Luan was a little confused, but he didn't dare underestimate it, as the Qi that was being absorbed was abundant, enough to give him the strength of another dragon.

When nearly half an hour had passed, the diamond had finished forming. It got close to his heart, and he tried and managed to get it around his heart, meaning, depending on the hardness of the diamond, he wouldn't die from a blow to the heart.

'Fantastic!' Even he couldn't help but be happy in his mind. After all, the heart was an important organ that needed to be protected. 'Force of 6 dragons, practically... I haven't strengthened the two Treasures to the maximum yet.'

He had a wristwatch and saw how many days he'd been here. It had already been 28 days.

'I'm going back. I still have to help grandpa.' Luan thought about returning early.

When he was leaving, Lenore left too.

"There is still time, no?" She asked in her cold voice.

"Yes, but I'll be back in 1-2 weeks, 1 month max. If you're still around, I can go hunting with you again," Luan said indifferently.

"Okay, I might be." She spoke in a distant, cold voice.

Luan just turned and left after that.

For the remaining Credits, he bought some pills and some other things for his grandfather to give to people he trusts.

*

When he came back, Luan saw the news and found out that his grandfather was in the second round of elections for President of Brazil. With the resources Luan gave him, Saulo Dimas did a great job and helped many people. The rest of the monster meat Luan had given him, now he saw in the news, that not only had Saul strengthened the army but also sold a part of the meat, giving aid to the poorest and most needy people from below who suffered more with the changes and the emergence of new races and monsters.

Extra sensory perception kicked in and he found out that his mother and family were back. Ingrid was with Maira at the Headquarters of Dimas Corporation. Amanda, Sebastian, Elise, and Monica were well protected on the island. Luan's clouds were still functioning, and the invading monsters were automatically attacked by gravity. The Qi he sensed from Amanda and the rest was Third Order.

'It seems that they tried hard and a few more have reached the power of the Fourth Order,' Luan muttered to himself.

By the way, Catharina and Cristina were also on the island, but unlike the others, the two managed to reach the Fourth Order. It seemed that it was recently that they cleaned their meridian veins and connected them to their Dantian, and now they were on the island meditating and stabilizing their cultivation.

Instead of going to the Big Island, Luan was literally flying with the flying cloud to the Headquarters of Dimas Corporation.

When Ingrid felt Luan's Qi, she was already anxious in front of her room, and as he arrived, she wanted to kiss him soon, but they had company and many people were watching.

However... Luan didn't care about the others. He pulled her by the waist and sealed her mouth with his in front of everyone. He kissed her and made Ingrid unable to breathe and become intoxicated. Everyone was shocked to see the cold and aloof CEO performing these actions, causing excruciating torture for the single individuals in the room.

"You tried hard," Luan said after separating the kiss.

"Yeah, it was tough, but I made it to Stage Two of the Nine Treasures Realm and Twelve Golden Bones." She felt a little proud of herself with this achievement. After all, it was not an easy thing and a long and painful process.

"I'm very happy for you." Luan's usually indifferent face finally showed a smile that made many women's hearts beat faster, especially Ingrid, who was in his arms.

"En." Ingrid made a cute sound and hugged him tightly.

"How long do you intend to be torturing our employees? Luan comes right in here, I need to talk to you." Maira's voice rang out from her office. A tone of amusement, but also a little seriousness, escaped her voice.

Ingrid cringed shyly when she heard her mother-in-law say that, and Luan shortly entered the room.
