Chapter 506 A False Alarm!
Buzz~!
Just as Cang Nian's figure surpassed the ninth Dragon Gate, a phantom giant gate appeared faintly above the ninth Dragon Gate.
Upon seeing this, Cang Nian subconsciously estimated the height of the giant gate.
This colossal gate is twice the height of the Ninth Dragon Gate!
"There's a tenth Dragon Gate?!"
Seeing this, Cang Nian was filled with doubt and unease.
According to the Dragon Palace's instructions to Ao Tian, the ninth level of the Dragon Palace is where one transforms into a dragon, but in reality, one should leap over the nine Dragon Gates to achieve this transformation.
What is the meaning of the tenth dragon gate that appears after leaping over the nine dragon gates?
However, although the significance of the tenth Dragon Gate is not yet clear, logically speaking, if one can leap over the tenth Dragon Gate, one will undoubtedly obtain something better than the ninth Dragon Gate!
Thinking of this, Cang Nian did not stop just because his figure had already surpassed the ninth Dragon Gate, but continued to climb towards the tenth Dragon Gate!
However, the tenth Dragon Gate is twice as high as the ninth Dragon Gate, reaching a height of over 100,000 meters!
After the second spiritual energy revival tide, Cangnian discovered that the sky above Earth had become higher.
Or so it should be said.
The concentration of oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere has increased.
At an altitude of 5,000 meters, the air is already so thin that it makes it difficult for humans to breathe.
At altitudes above 10,000 meters, without oxygen supply equipment, no one can survive for an extended period.
However, after the second spiritual energy revival tide, this height increased many times over. In short, at the height of the Ninth Dragon Gate, Cang Nian did not feel any difficulty breathing.
However, just as he reached an altitude of 80,000 meters, the effect of the second-gear over-limit burst had already ended.
In an instant, Cangnian's strength, speed, and defense attributes dropped from five times the base attributes to 0.6 times the base attributes!
Overlimit Burst is a skill that briefly bursts out at the cost of a certain percentage of a single attribute, far exceeding the normal state!
Now that the time limit has expired, Cangnian has fallen into a state of weakness with low attributes!
Furthermore, this was the first time Cangnian had used the second-level overlimit burst after evolving to the fifth rank!
At the fourth tier, the maximum value of the second-level overlimit burst is only 40%, which is 4.2 times the original value.
Currently, the maximum value of the second-level overlimit burst is 50%. Although it is only a 10% increase, the increase is 5 times that of the original!
The improvement of nearly a quarter comes at a much higher cost than before.
At this moment, Cangnian felt his muscles and bones were quite sore, coupled with the weakness caused by the decrease in his attribute values, making it an extremely uncomfortable experience.
Whoosh~!
His massive body plummeted downwards like a meteorite!
In a short while, he saw the ninth Dragon Gate not far below him.
So Cangnian gritted his teeth, adjusted his flight attitude, and plummeted toward the other side of the Dragon Gate!
To leap over the dragon gate, one must first leap over the dragon gate!
If you go straight up and down without crossing the top edge of the gate, you won't receive feedback from the gate.
Cangnian had already noticed this detail when he observed the process of those marine creatures leaping over the dragon gate.
Fortunately, the backlash from the second-gear overdrive was not severe; I only felt soreness and pain, and no real injuries appeared on my body.
So, despite the discomfort, Cang Nian still managed to fall precisely from the other side of the Dragon Gate.
Just as he passed through the ninth Dragon Gate, an incomparably dazzling golden-red light flew out from the Dragon Gate and entered his body!
[Ding! True dragon blood has been detected invading the host's body! The host will be transformed into a pure-blooded dragon!]
[Ding! The True Dragon Bloodline clashes with the host's White Tiger Divine Beast Bloodline. The invasion of the True Dragon Bloodline has been prevented!]
Just as Cangnian was preparing to experience what it felt like to transform into a dragon, two system notifications exploded in his mind!
"No? Please! Wouldn't that make all my work go to waste?"
Upon hearing this, Cang Nian's face immediately fell.
If I do this, won't I end up getting no benefit at all?
Although he had previously thought that combining the images of dragons and tigers might be strange.
But what's strange is that becoming stronger is a good thing!
As a result, he had already leaped over the ninth dragon gate and obtained all the benefits, but then he caused this mess for himself!
Plop~!
Plunging rapidly, Cang Nian crashed into the sea, his massive body splashing up waves.
However, despite falling from such a height, Cang Nian did not feel any pain, and when he fell into the water, the surrounding evolved creatures, and even the evolved creatures right under him, were not harmed.
Cangnian was already used to this.
This must be the force exerted by the Dragon Gate; during the leaping process, everyone jumps up and falls without affecting each other.
But thinking that he had worked for nothing, Cang Nian angrily rolled around in the sea.
[Ding! As compensation to the host, the True Dragon Blood has been converted into "White Tiger Stance" skill proficiency!]
[Ding~! White Tiger Stance skill proficiency +2500 million! (3814 million/1 million)]
However, just as Cang Nian was feeling heartbroken, two more system notifications rang in his mind.
As the system notification sounded, Cang Nian felt as if his entire body had been cleansed.
Its limbs became stronger, and its claws and teeth became sharper.
Even with the debuff of having his three-dimensional attributes halved due to the cost of the second-tier overlimit burst, Cang Nian still felt quite refreshed.
"Holy crap! I didn't know it could be done like that! Oh well, never mind!"
This change prompted Cang Nian to immediately perform a Sichuan opera face-changing act, and he beamed with joy.
Although he did not digest the true dragon's blood and complete the transformation into a dragon.
However, the skill proficiency in the White Tiger stance has been greatly improved, which is also quite good!
As the highest-ranking skill in his current system skills, the eighth-rank White Tiger Stance skill, even without advancing to the next stage, has already shown significant positive effects on him after his skill proficiency has greatly improved.
In all calculations, it's about the same as transforming into a dragon.
After all, he was much stronger than Ao Tian.
It received nourishment from dragon blood, becoming closer to a real dragon, and naturally its improvement was significant.
As for myself, putting everything else aside, even if I'm still not quite at the level of a true dragon in my overlimit burst state, the difference shouldn't be too great.
Therefore, even if one were to undergo the baptism of dragon blood, the improvement would probably not be significant.
This time, the system actually messed up itself!
"You've leaped over the ninth Dragon Gate?"
Just as Cang Nian was feeling quite pleased with himself, Ao Tian, who had already finished his third attempt, swam up to him and asked expectantly.
"Yup!"
Upon hearing this, Cang Nian casually replied.
"Waaaaah... I don't want to live anymore! I'm the strongest dragon here, and you, an outsider, beat me to it..."
Upon hearing this, Ao Tian felt as if his ideals had collapsed, and he rolled around on the sea.
