Chapter 77: Shocked (Part 2)

  Jiang Hao's figure hovered in the air for dozens of seconds before slowly descending to the ground amidst the shocked gazes of the crowd, his body radiating flashes of light. The dense dragon scales had vanished, replaced by a long shirt that now covered his body.

  Seeing the faint golden light on Jiang Huan's body, almost every soldier showed envy, jealousy and hatred. If it weren't for Lei Xiang being blown away, they might have rushed up together.

  At this time, Lei Xiang, who had been blown away, walked out of the crowd and looked at Jiang Huan with a gaze that was not only shocked but also had a hint of madness, making Jiang Huan's heart feel hairy. Lei Xiang stabilized his emotions and his face returned to its usual calm state, saying: "No wonder you dared to stay behind, it seems we underestimated you, you actually possess a spiritual artifact, looks like you came prepared."

  Jiang Hao was taken aback, shook his head and said, "Vice General Lei Xiang, I think you're mistaken, I don't have any spiritual artifacts."

  "There's no divine artifact, how is that possible? The golden light you emitted earlier and the scales on your body, aren't those spirit artifacts? Otherwise, how could they have such great power?" This time it was Chen Hao who spoke up.

  Jiang Hao glanced at Chen Huan and smiled slightly, saying: "I don't know what a spiritual instrument is, but if you want to know what that golden light just now was about, I can tell you."

  "This time, Lei Xiang was also stunned for a moment, 'You're willing to tell us?'"

  Jiang Hao smiled and said, "From now on, you are all my brothers under my command. What can't be said? In fact, I don't have any spiritual tools. It's just that I've cultivated a body-refining technique called the Half-Dragon Body. The golden light and scales were what appeared when I was using the Half-Dragon Body."

  "What is this cultivation technique of the Semi-Dragon Body?" Lei Xiang's eyes flashed with uncertainty, lost in thought.

  Jiang Hao chuckled and said: "Deputy Commander Lei Xiang, have you ever heard of the existence of dragons?"

  "Dragons, the Dragon Clan, the kings of magical beasts, exist in legendary top-tier magical beasts, I naturally know, but that's just a legend." Lei Xiang was stunned for a moment and said, "Could it be that you..."

  Jiang Hao nodded and said, "I'm really lucky to have encountered one, but it can't be called a true dragon in the classical sense. It's just a half-dragon. Because it only has one deep-sea giant python with the bloodline of a giant dragon, but its cultivation is only at the sixth level. If it advances another level, then maybe it really has the possibility of becoming a dragon."

  Chen Hao and others were all mouthed by Zhang Da, but their eyes showed suspicion, obviously they did not believe what Jiang Huan said.

  Lei Xiang took a deep breath and said, "General Jiang Huo, it's not that we don't want to believe you, but the sixth-tier demon beast already has strength equivalent to that of a human war emperor. What more can be said about a demon beast with dragon blood? With our current strength, if it just thinks about it, we won't be able to resist!"

  "Ah, to be honest, I stumbled upon that demonic beast by accident. At the time, it was already heavily injured and surrounded by several high-level experts at least at the Martial King level. I just happened to get splashed with its blood and lost consciousness on the spot. When I woke up, I found that I could actually transform my body into a half-dragon state." Of course, Jiang Heng wouldn't tell them about the old monster-level existence within him.

  Jiang Hao saw that the crowd still had some doubts, and with a fierce surge of battle energy, the golden light that had receded once again burst forth, and the dense dragon scales reappeared. This time, because they were closer, Chen Hao and the others looked very carefully, but the dragon's majesty brought them an increasingly intense shock.

  "It doesn't seem like a spiritual artifact at all, General Jiang Huan. We've just seen too many strange things." Chen Hao nodded his head, clearly Jiang Huan's display of power had completely dispelled any disdain he may have had.

  Lei Xiang looked at Jiang Hao, his emotions gradually calming down, a thoughtful expression flowing into his eyes. "Why tell us these things? For you, this should be an absolute secret."

  Jiang Hao said, "I think I've already said this before. Since I'm your commander now, from now on everyone is my brother. Let you know that these things are nothing. Of course, I don't need to rely on this to gain your trust. I'm willing to say these things because I can be sure that you people are not enough to pose a threat to me. Because as long as I want to, with enough time, it shouldn't be difficult to take all of you down."

  "Little kid, you're looking for death." A burly man with a head full of red hair roared beside Chen Hao. For a moment, all the soldiers became agitated. It seemed that as long as Lei Xiang gave the word, they would immediately rush forward and tear Jiang Huan to pieces.

  "Shut up, all of you!" Lei Xiang bellowed, his voice carrying a fierce energy that made it sound especially loud. As the deputy commander with the highest cultivation here, he had absolute authority and prestige. The crowd fell silent at his thunderous roar.

  "General Jiang, I salute you as a general. I acknowledge that your strength is indeed very strong, and even if I use my full power, I may not be able to defeat you. However, one must remain humble. If we were to join forces, you would also not have an easy time of it. Being our general is not just about having strong abilities." Lei Xiang said coldly to Jiang Hao.

  Jiang Hao said, "Your calmness makes me admire you very much, and I also like your ferocity. The reason why I dare to stay is not just because I have confidence in my own strength. Since I came, of course, I want to give some gifts."

  Jiang Hao wiped out a spatial chain, and several jade bottles appeared in front of him. With a flick of his finger, Chen Hao and the others each received a bottle.

  Lei Xiang also received a bottle, but his face showed a vigilant expression, "What is this?"

  Jiang Hao smiled and said, "Can't you just open it and take a look? Don't you even have the courage to do that?"

  Everyone heard this and a hint of annoyance flashed in their eyes. Lei Xiang and others immediately opened the jade bottle, and a faint fragrance of danxian suddenly spread out.

  Lei Xiang's eyes lit up and he exclaimed excitedly, "Is this a medicinal pill?"

  "Not bad, this is my own refined lower-grade Vandana - Qi Gathering Pill, it has the effect of restoring battle energy. Five pills per person, consider it a gift for meeting me." Jiang Hao said with a smile.

  Jiang Hao still underestimated the temptation of alchemy. On the continent of gods, one of the main reasons why alchemists are considered the most noble profession is that it's simply too difficult to become an alchemist. Not to mention attributes and spiritual power, ordinary people don't have that much wealth to practice their skills. Alchemists rely on feeding on spiritual medicine, without sufficient medicinal materials, even if you have great talent, it's all in vain.

  Although Lei Xiang and others were all at the rank of Zhan Shi, relying solely on their salary was far from enough to buy Dan medicine.

  Lei Xiang's hands trembled slightly, and he asked with a hint of trembling in his voice, "This... is this for us?" Suddenly, Lei Xiang seemed to have thought of something and hastily said, "Wait, you just said that these were all refined by yourself."

  "Are you a Dan Master?" Lei Xiang's voice was tinged with a hint of longing.

  Jiang Hao nodded and said, "I don't need to deceive you, do I?"

  Lei Xiang took a deep breath, and the chill in his eyes dissipated somewhat after learning that Jiang Heng was an alchemist. "General Jiang Heng, I must say you've moved me, but I still need to consult with my brothers."

  "Boss, don't listen to his nonsense. Does he think a few Dan pills can get rid of us?" Chen Hao said viciously, but there was an inexplicable tone in his words, and the jade bottle in his hand was tightly clenched.

  Jiang Hao smiled calmly and said, "I told you, you are my brothers. As your brother, I naturally cannot mistreat you. Not only can I provide you with elixirs, but I will also lead our military department to become stronger. Are you willing to be inferior to the Golden Eagle Military Group? We must let others see that we are not worse than those in the Golden Eagle Military Group. I will make each of you have countless wealth, have beautiful women throwing themselves at your feet, and most importantly, have intimidating power."

  "Of course, the law of the jungle still applies here, how Ouyang Jun manages is none of my business. Still the old rules, whoever has the bigger fist is the boss. If anyone else doesn't agree, feel free to come and try."

  As he spoke, a terrifying aura suddenly burst out from Jiang Hao's body, and a tall, about ten-zhang-high illusory shadow slowly emerged behind him.

  The shadow was invisible, but the distorted air around it and the visible black cracks were evident. Upon closer inspection, the shadow turned out to be an enlarged version of Jiang Hao.

  At this moment, Lei Xiang and the others' expressions froze, because they found themselves completely unable to move, not even a finger could be moved. The battle energy in their bodies seemed to have stagnated, at this time even an ordinary warrior could kill them. They were still like this, let alone those ordinary soldiers, who were even more miserable, the sound of flesh hitting the ground kept coming.

  The next moment, Jiang Hao pointed his right hand at Lei Xiang, and the sound of "zi zi" came from around him, which was the sound of space shattering. Then a black light flashed by, and Lei Xiang's upper garment had disappeared into thin air.

  Jiang Hao's left hand loosened its grip, and that illusory shadow finally slowly dissipated, while Lei Xiang and the others were already drenched in sweat.

  "What kind of martial skill is this?" Lei Xiang's eyes were filled with fear, because just now he felt death was so close, Jiang Hao said it right, if Jiang Hao wanted to take action, these people would have all died already. That intangible power was completely unknown and irresistible to him. With his battle aura completely sealed, he was just an ordinary person with a slightly stronger body.

  "I've said it before, you have no chance in front of me. I am capable of annihilating all of you, and this is not an idle threat." The voice of Jiang Huan in his cyan long robe came again. However, Chen Hao and the others did not refute him this time, because this was a fact.

  Jiang Lie, who was standing behind Jiang Heng, also had a rich expression on his face at this time, with a hint of worry in addition to surprise.

  "This isn't a martial skill, but rather soul power. As a Dan Master, I naturally have to cultivate my soul power in addition to my martial energy." Of course, Jiang Heng wouldn't tell them that he had borrowed the power of Tian Sha. Although his own soul power had already reached the level of entering the mortal realm, this was clearly not enough to intimidate Lei Xiang. Tian Sha had only released a hint of its aura and yet it had already frightened everyone - this was the might of the Heavenly Realm.

  Jiang Lie quietly watched Jiang Huan's every move, and in his heart, he was also filled with doubts about this little brother. Was this still the same good-for-nothing who couldn't cultivate before? The aura from earlier, Jiang Lie had only felt it from Jiang Yuan before. Could it be that Jiang Huan had already reached the peak of a War General or even a War King's power? Jiang Lie himself was startled by this idea. At this moment, Jiang Huan gave the military department people an unbeatable mysterious feeling.

  A ten-year-old with the bearing of a war master, Dan Master, half-dragon physique, and an overwhelmingly powerful soul strength; people even think that the one standing in front of them is an old monster rather than a little kid.
