64: Chapter 64 One for Each Person

The howls of the three individuals were filled with pain and despair, echoing through the empty and deathly silent bottom of the blood pool.

The most hopeless thing in life is to have just glimpsed the dawn of hope, only to be mercilessly shoved by reality into an even deeper abyss.

The three of them had fought fiercely for a long time outside the valley against that terrifying Dragon Turtle, whose strength was comparable to the peak of the sixth tier, just to be able to enter this place.

For this, they had paid an unknown price, expended immense effort, and each had even sustained not-insignificant injuries.

Everything they had done was for the sake of entering this legendary True Dragon Blood Pool, to temper their own bodies and rebuild their foundations with the vast true dragon blood within, thereby allowing themselves to join the ranks of the most elite freaks under the starry sky and gain the capital to compete with figures like Yu Wangji and Zhao Tieshan.

But now?

After enduring countless hardships and finally defeating that obstructing Dragon Turtle, they rushed into this place filled with excitement and anticipation.

Yet, what they saw was only this vast, empty pit, where even the mud at the bottom of the lake had completely dried up.

Everything had come to nothing.

Suddenly!

Niu Xuanfeng's bull-like eyes, large as bronze bells, suddenly sharpened!

"There are people over there!"

In the very center of the distant blood pool, in the lowest-lying area, two figures could be seen standing quietly.

Two human males, and one rather magnificent-looking, pitch-black giant dog exuding a ferocious aura.

As the three of them rapidly approached and clearly saw the two men's faces, they immediately recognized their identities!

"It's Ning Yuan, first place in the Qi and Blood Academy, and Jiang Yueming, second place!"

After clearly seeing the two, Li Xiaotian's expression instantly turned ferocious!

"It must be them! It must be them who drained all the true dragon blood here!"

He could clearly sense from the two figures before him an aura of the Transcendent Realm that had just recently broken through and was not yet fully stabilized!

That was Yuanli, an aura completely different from the pure Qi and Blood power of before!

It didn't take a genius to figure out that these two guys must have used some clever method to enter this place early and complete their Transcendent breakthrough here!

Shi Ninghai, whose temper was the most explosive, was already enraged beyond measure. He immediately transformed into a streak of golden light and charged towards the two!

"Was it you two who did this?!"

He pointed at Ning Yuan and Jiang Yueming, loudly interrogating them, his tone full of accusation.

Seeing this, Wang Zai immediately darted out from behind Ning Yuan!

It let out a displeased growl at the aggressively approaching Shi Ninghai, a dangerous rumble rolling in its throat. The terrifying pressure belonging to the Heaven Swallowing BeastSubsequently emanated!

This aura was even stronger than before!

Earlier, although it had just stayed by Ning Yuan's side and didn't participate in the breakthrough.

The boundless true dragon blood, while being devoured by Ning Yuan, still released vast amounts of pure energy, much of which it conveniently swallowed.

This had also allowed it to reap no small benefit once again!

Ning Yuan, however, just casually waved his hand, signaling Wang Zai to calm down.

Looking at the three furious fellows before him, he said in a flat tone:

"So what if it was?"

"Such heaven-and-earth treasures have always belonged to those with the capability."

Hearing this.

Shi Ninghai and the other two all laughed in extreme anger, their laughter turning sinister!

"Those with the capability?"

"In this ruin, whoever has greater strength, whoever has the harder fist, is the one with the capability!"

Niu Xuanfeng even extended his crimson tongue, licking his dry lips, his bull-like eyes flashing with greedy and cruel light.

"Heh heh, perfect! Those two have just finished refining so much true dragon blood. Its medicinal properties and essence must still be accumulated within their bodies, not fully digested yet. I happen to have a rare treasure brought from my clan, called the heaven refining bottle!"

"As long as we throw both their bodies into it for refinement, we can re-extract most of the true dragon blood! That should still be enough for the three of us brothers to temper our foundations!"

Hearing this, the other two were greatly tempted!

This proposal was simply too enticing!

Shi Ninghai of the Mad Lion Clan, as if suddenly remembering something, glanced at Li Xiaotian beside him and said with a half-smile, "Li Xiaotian, you wouldn't... show mercy just because they're both human like you, would you?"

Li Xiaotian, upon hearing this, let out an extremely arrogant laugh.

"Hahaha! What a joke! What does mere kinship with the same race matter! In my heart, Li Xiaotian's, you two are my true eldest and second brother!"

Immediately after, an even more ruthless and vicious light flashed in his eyes!

"I say, why don't we use their heads as a sacrificial offering! The three of us can burn incense, pray, and swear brotherhood right here! What do you say?"

Hearing this, Niu Xuanfeng immediately clapped his hands and laughed heartily, "Excellent! Truly excellent! This proposal is fantastic!"

This would be their pledge of allegiance!

Using the blood and lives of two peerless human prodigies to forge the bond of their brotherhood!

The three of them laughed wildly, unrestrained, as if they had already completely decided the fate of Ning Yuan and Jiang Yueming.

However, Ning Yuan and Jiang Yueming's faces still wore that same calm expression.

They looked at these three fellows who were talking to themselves and already dividing the spoils in advance, as if watching three ridiculous and pathetic clowns.

Ning Yuan turned his head and asked Jiang Yueming, "Second Brother, one each?"

He was eager.

Having just stepped into the Transcendent Realm, it was perfect to test his current strength against these clueless fellows.

Jiang Yueming, however, asked in return:

"What about the third one? There are three of them."

"Woof woof!" Wang Zai immediately responded, indicating that the last one could be left to him.

Hearing this, Jiang Yueming looked at the majestic black giant dog in surprise.

Then, her delicate face became covered with bone-chilling killing intent!

"Good! That human scum who betrayed his own race, leave him to me!"

In both her past and present life, what she hated most were these kinds of people who, for their own benefit, could raise the butcher's knife against their own kind without hesitation!

Li Xiaotian had already crossed her bottom line, and worse, he was allying with other races to harm humans.

He deserved death a thousand times over!

Perfect, she had also just broken through to the Transcendent Realm!

She would use this fellow's head as a banner for her new realm!

Ning Yuan smiled.

"No problem. That guy who looks like a Golden-Haired Lion King, I'll take care of him."

Seeing this, Li Xiaotian gave a sinister laugh.

"Facing death, you still dare to spout such arrogant nonsense here!"

"Just obediently become the nourishment for our three brothers' further advancement!"

The moment his words fell.

He was the first to strike.

He threw a punch, vast Yuanli erupting from within his body!

The dense killing aura condensed through countless life-and-death battles on his body也Subsequently surged!

Finally, it transformed into a pitch-black fist imprint a full hundred zhang in size, carrying a terrifying momentum to suppress everything, and slammed down towards Jiang Yueming!

The force shook the heavens and earth.

Li Xiaotian's final ranking in the Transcendent Academy was nineteenth!

His strength was far greater than that of Yan Kuang, who had been easily suppressed and killed by Ning Yuan earlier!
