C1 Azure Dragon Mark
Outside Jade City, the sun was rising.
A black-clothed youth with delicate features walked to the edge of a torrential river and stopped. He then turned around and asked, "Can you tell me now? Why are you looking for me?"
Behind him were two grey robed men who followed all the way along.
They were two servants, one fat and the other thin. Their auras were stable as they walked, and their steps were steady. Obviously, they possessed a certain level of cultivation in Martial Tao. Arriving by the turbulent river, they looked around to see that there was no one around them, and thus their eyes suddenly showed a vicious and ruthless expression.
"Trash, go repent in the underworld! A useless person actually dares to covet Miss Feng Yao. Death is your end!"
The fatty snorted lightly and surrounded the black-clothed youth with the thin man.
The black-clothed youth's expression changed.
They wanted to take his life?
The young man's name was Long Yu, and he grew up in the Feng Family in the city. He was the adopted son of the Feng Family's Patriarch, Feng Changge. However, in this world where Martial Tao ruled supreme, he was not respected by anyone, even he was the adopted son of the Patriarch, because he could not cultivate due to his blocked meridians since he was young.
Feng Yao was Feng Changge's biological daughter. She was only sixteen years old this year, and not only was she beautiful with a graceful body shape, but also she had already stepped into Level Seven of Martial Tao. She was a genius disciple of the Cold Ice Sect.
"Who ordered you to kill me?"
Long Yu asked calmly. In fact, he had no interest at all in the so-called beauty Feng Yao, who always looked down on others.
"Since you’ve asked, I'll tell you mercifully. Miss Feng has personally said that she wants you dead. No matter what, you can't escape. So, die!"
The fatty bellowed and stepped forward, throwing a punch towards Long Yu.
Long Yu was unable to cultivate, so before he could even see the opponent's movements clearly, his shoulder had been struck. A huge force of almost 500 kilograms pressed down on him, causing his bones to shatter. His entire hand was destroyed, and he fell onto the river bank.
"Cough!"
Long Yu coughed out a mouthful of blood, but he clenched his teeth and did not make a sound.
He was tenacious, and he was unwilling!
In this world, strength represented everything. That fat servant was only at Level One of Martial Tao, but he could condense almost 500 kilograms of strength with a wave of his hand. Hit by only a single punch, he was seriously injured and on the verge of death.
"I can't die."
Long Yu's eyes were bloodshot as he looked at the two approaching him. Using all of his strength, he rolled towards the torrential river.
With a plop, he fell into the river!
The river was swift, and he was in great danger due to his severe injure, but at least he had a chance of survival.
On the shore, the two servants were stunned.
"Shall we follow him down?"
The fat guy hesitated.
Although they were both servants, the thin man was currently at Level Two of Martial Tao, and his position in the Feng Family was much higher than the Fatty's.
The thin man's eyes flashed, "No need. The current is fast, so we can't find him even if we go down. We might as well go downstream and wait for him. He was severely injured by your fist, and even his meridians were shattered, so he was almost impossible to survive after rolling into the river. If we go downstream, we will definitely be able to stop him. If he is alive, we must catch him; if he is dead, we must see his corpse!"
"Alright."
The fatty nodded. After that, the two of them quickly stepped out and followed the river downstream.
...
In the torrential river, Long Yu felt as if his entire body was in disarray, his bones were broken in many places, his internal organs were ruptured, and he was in extreme pain.
Death was so close to him.
"How can I just die like this…"
Long Yu clenched his teeth, but the pain all over his body had already numbed him. The rushing water current washed his body, causing his body to strike against the gigantic boulders in the water, and his blood dyed the river red.
Not long after, his consciousness became blurry.
At this moment, an angry roar abruptly resounded in his mind, jolting him awake!
Long Yu suddenly became clear-headed, his heart filled with shock and bewilderment, and he saw a mysterious green light emitting from his chest, which actually condensed into a long green dragon shadow, separating the deadly flood flow and protecting him in the center.
"This is…"
Long Yu looked around, but the next minute the green dragon shadow was actually carrying his body, rushing forward in the torrent, riding on the wind and waves.
The giant Green Dragon possessed unfathomable divine might!
After that, a wave of mysterious power surged into his body, gradually healing his injuries. It even broke through his blocked meridians in an instant and opened them up.
He had actually stepped into the Martial Tao at this time!
"This is…the Green Dragon Imprint!"
How could Long Yu not know what was happening?
Ten years ago, he was still the King of Assassins on Earth. After his accidental death, he had transmigrated to this world and was reborn into Long Yu's body.
After that, there was a mysterious Green Dragon Imprint on his chest. He had no idea what it could do.
At this time, as the fatty's punch just now had broken some of the meridians in Long Yu's body, the Green Dragon Imprint could feel his Dantian.
In this way, he gained fortune from his misfortune, and the Green Dragon Imprint had actually transformed into a Green Dragon shadow. Not only had it healed his injuries, it had also allowed him to step into the Martial Tao.
At Level One of Martial Tao, one could connect with the Spiritual Qi of Universe and refine his body. The Profound Qi would be born from the meridians, and one would possess a tremendous force of almost 500 kilograms!
Long Yu's eyes flashed.
He had been trying all sorts of methods, hoping to step into the Martial Tao, but he failed. He didn't expect that the fatty's punch would have broken some of his meridians and activated the Green Dragon Imprint.
"Although I don't know what this Green Dragon Imprint is, since I've stepped into the Martial Tao, no one can kill me that easily."
Long Yu was extremely confident.
In his previous life, the only reason he could become the King of Assassins was that he was extremely ruthless, determined, and strong-willed.
The strong willpower was essential if one wanted to achieve any accomplishments in Martial Tao.
The Green Dragon shadow was gradually dissipating.
And now Long Yu had finally stepped into the Martial Tao, reaching Level One of Martial Tao. He possessed the power of almost 500 kilograms with one punch. Not only that, his ability in reaction and perception had also greatly increased.
In the torrential river, he could even hear the chirping of the small insects by the river. He could clearly see the rippling grass at the bottom of the torrent and he easily followed the flow of the water downstream.
This was only the change at the start of entering the Martial Tao.
There were a total of nine levels in the Martial Tao. Each time the Martial Cultivator entered a higher level, the power he possessed would double. If one cultivated to Level Nine of Martial Tao, his one punch would be able to crack a mountain, and his one stomp would be able to split the earth. It was truly amazing and incomparably tyrannical.
"Huh?"
Long Yu realized that, after the Green Dragon shadow dissipated, it had returned to a Green Dragon Imprint on his chest.
And he was actually able to communicate with this Green Dragon Imprint in his consciousness.
"Activate!"
As Long Yu thought about it, he felt the Green Dragon Imprint start to heat up, and in an instant, a wave of energy passed through his limbs and bones, causing him to be shocked.
"The strength of 1,000 kilograms!"
Currently Long Yu's punch was actually able to release 1,000 kilograms of strength, which made him equivalent to a Martial Cultivator at Level Two of Martial Tao.
Once the Green Dragon Imprint was activated, it could actually increase his strength by 500 kilograms. Its might was terrifying.
But soon, he felt a trace of exhaustion. It seemed that the heat from the Green Dragon Imprint wouldn't last long. Of course, he was already very satisfied. This could be used as his trump card in the future.
"In my previous life, I was also a descendant of dragon. I wonder if this Green Dragon Imprint has anything to do with that…Anyway, it's time to get ashore."
Long Yu once again familiarized himself with his own strength, and then felt that the water had begun to slow down, and he supposed it should already be downstream.
Crash!
He jumped onto the shore and landed heavily on the grass. His whole body was filled with power.
On the shore, a fat man and a thin man looked at him in astonishment.
This brat didn't die?
They waited downstream for an hour. They originally thought that they would see Long Yu's corpse, but they did not expect that the brat was still alive and even seemed so full of energy.
"This trash can actually jump up?"
The Fatty felt this was incredible. His fist actually possessed 500 kilograms of strength. How could this brat withstand it?
"Fatty, it seems that your punch was off the charts. You’re truly useless. Why don't you go and finish him off?"
The thin guy stared at Long Yu's wet figure, his eyes gleaming, and he encouraged the Fatty.
"Humph, it seems like I was too careless just now. This time, he will not survive."
The fatty took a step forward, his fat face revealing a fierce expression. He looked at Long Yu as if he was looking at a dead man.
However, what he did not know was that Long Yu had finally stepped into the Martial Tao, and he could at most exert 1,000 kilograms of strength, which was already two times his own strength!
