X-Dragon Era

Although with his current strength, Xin Yun was not capable of internal vision, his experience from a past life told him that this airflow was indeed Yinglong, the dragon with double wings on its back that he had transformed into just moments ago!

As mentioned before, dragons and humans are one entity, not considered two separate creatures. To put it figuratively, a dragon is an extension of the human body, born from the Essence Blood as a guide, the Soul Force as a medium, and the Dragon Creation Stone as a foundation, released from the physical body and gathering energy from heaven and earth.

The dragon-shaped airflow within Xin Yun\'s body was in fact his Soul Force. With the help of the Dragon Creation Stone, it had solidified his blood and the stone\'s energy. From a certain perspective, this was Xin Yun\'s true form, and only in the shape of a dragon, could the ultimate power of a human be unleashed.

Humans are like this, possessing unparalleled intelligence, but the physical body is quite frail, not even comparable to ordinary wildlife, let alone creatures like elephants, whales, and sharks.

Taking a deep breath, Xin Yun did not open his eyes; until now, the refinement had only just begun. Calming his mind, Xin Yun circulated his spiritual power, controlling the airflow within the Dantian and began to shuttle through the meridians.

Because Xin Yun was still young, not yet eight years old, and as a prepubescent child, the meridians inside his body were not yet closed. Thus, even though the flowing Qi met some resistance, it was far too powerful—the 9.9 Grade Dragon Creation Stone combined with the Soul Force that Xin Yun had honed over three lifetimes culminated in Dragon Force, which no meager resistance could withstand.

His body shook violently as the dragon-shaped airflow broke through barrier after barrier. The pain caused Xin Yun to sweat profusely, but the efficiency of his cultivation was astoundingly high!

This is the advantage of children from wealthy families. Because they have money, they can obtain Memory Sensing Stones of higher quality, making their cultivation progress much faster.

If one were using a First Grade Dragon Creation Stone, breaking through one of the 365 barriers in a week would be considered good; how could it be as effortless as it was for Xin Yun, breaking through one after another with such ease?

Under Xin Yun\'s urging, the dragon-shaped airflow soon completed a circuit through the meridians of the body and then returned to the Dantian, swirling in the Qi Sea once more.

This marked the end of the first refinement session. The airflow that swirled in Xin Yun\'s Dantian had not only united with his spirit and Soul Force but had also begun to imprint its own mark onto his physical body.

Slowly opening his eyes, Xin Yun Qingqing removed his upper garment and saw—a faint, azure dragon tattoo had emerged on his originally extremely pale and delicate skin!

The color was very light, so light that it seemed to carry a hint of green. However, Xin Yun\'s entire upper body was covered, leaving little space untouched, with an azure True Dragon coiled around it!

Upon closer inspection, the long body of the dragon twisted around the surface of Xin Yun\'s body, the dragon\'s head located at the center of his chest, while its tail spiraled on his back. Among the four Dragon Claws, two pairs of front claws appeared on Xin Yun\'s arms, and two pairs of hind claws at the thighs; the whole Jiao Dragon was blue with a greenish tint, imposing and majestic.

Taking a deep breath, Xin Yun nodded in satisfaction and looked down at his hands. The Dragon Creation Stone, originally the size of an egg, had now shrunk a bit but was still transparent and azure, gleaming brightly. Fully refining this 9.9 Grade Dragon Creation Stone was clearly not a matter of just a day or two.

Qingqing placing the Dragon Creation Stone into his chest, Xin Yun took a deep breath and slowly stood up. His hands and feet expanded slightly, and a crackling sound resonated from his body as waves of surging power emerged from every part of his being.

Feeling the tremendous power surging within him, Xin Yun laughed excitedly. Although he had not yet successfully refined his dragon, his body was already energized, and his physical stats had skyrocketed, making it impossible for any ordinary human to match his strength.

Of course, in this world, ordinary humans were very rare. If a city had a population of one million, then 990,000 of them would be warriors capable of summoning dragons; the only differences between them lay in the type and strength of their dragons.

Feeling the powerful force within his body, Xin Yun walked over to the mirror and looked closely. The tattoo from this life was clearly much more imposing than before, with a subtle aura of majesty emanating from it.

"Hmm?" After looking for a while, Xin Yun suddenly furrowed his brow in disbelief, turned around, and searched carefully once more; but... no matter how much he searched, he could only find four Dragon Claws on the tattoo. What was going on? Where was the fifth Dragon Claw?

After searching numerous times to no avail, the total always came to just four claws—there was definitely no fifth. But Xin Yun clearly remembered, the dragon that had congealed in the azure sea was a Five-Clawed Dragon, not a four-clawed serpent!
