You Have Science, I Have Martial Arts

Gu Guangqi, a Martial Arts Master, died just like that?

Killing a chicken should at least flutter a bit, right?

Xu Yuebing, gathering his courage, walked towards Ye Qingzhou: "Where's Gu Guangqi?"

Ye Qingzhou pointed all around: "Floating everywhere."

Leon and others hurriedly patted themselves, fearing they might touch something unclean.

Are you kidding? If a dead Martial Arts Master really becomes a ghost, they'd be extremely ferocious!

After quite a while, Leon and the others finally calmed down.

"Master Ye, have you become a Martial Saint?"

"No, the power just now was borrowed."

"What the heck, you can borrow that? Where did you borrow it from, what's the interest rate?"

Leon was excited after hearing it. That power was mental imagery, killing a Martial Arts Master as easily as a chicken!

If he could borrow it, wouldn't he be invincible?

Ye Qingzhou truthfully informed: "Borrowed it from Celestial Halberd Peak. If you try, you'll likely die halfway."

Leon instantly backed down, waving his hands: "Forget it, I'll wait a bit longer. Surely there'll be other safe adventures. Someone like me, a child of celestial destiny, surely won't miss out on all opportunities, right?"

Hours later, Leon returned to camp with a grim face after failing to find anything at the Divine Feather Sword Sect.

Xu Yuebing gathered Leon, Zhu Jinfeng, and Miao Yi and solemnly advised: "Let's not talk about today's events to anyone."

After all, Gu Guangqi, a Martial Arts Master from the Star City Gu Clan, his death will surely invite the Gu Family's retaliation.

The four were shielded by their families or sects and were just collateral, so they weren't afraid.

But Ye Qingzhou was different, hence Xu Yuebing specifically advised them to keep quiet.

Xu Yuebing even specially named Leon: "Especially you!"

"Xu Yuebing, don't be so arrogant. You're not a madam yet, what makes you command us?"

"So, are you planning to tell the Gu Family?"

"Whoever leaks it will have a son with no nose!"

Leon stiffened his neck and swore publicly, knowing the seriousness of the situation.

Zhu Jinfeng and Miao Yi also hurriedly promised to keep the secret. Both saw that Ye Qingzhou surely had great fortune and destiny.

Now with a suspected strong Martial Saint backing him, why rat out and lose such a powerful ally?

What would be the point?

Does the Gu Family also have a Martial Saint?

As for Ye Qingzhou, he had already quietly snuck out of the camp, holding the Dragon Pearl and heading to Celestial Halberd Peak to collect payment from Kang Jinlong.

Celestial Halberd Peak, thunder and lightning, dark clouds covering the sun.

Ye Qingzhou stood at the mountain peak, holding the Dragon Pearl.

With the experience of controlling mental imagery once, he realized the thunderclouds before him were actually transformed from the White Flood Dragon's mental imagery.

"Fengqi, I brought the stuff, are you still not coming out?"

Ye Qingzhou called out the White Flood Dragon's name, which Yingyue had told him.

Rumble~

As soon as the words were spoken, thunder roared fiercely.

A surge of electric light burst out from the dark clouds, transforming into a snake-like entity thousands of meters long, descending with a crackling sound.

Amidst the white pillar of thunder, a majestic and imposing figure appeared confidently.

The arriving person was over three meters tall, wearing a pale gold armored skirt with silver edges, baring his upper body, appearing in Ye Qingzhou's sight.

"Mortal, it seems you already know the truth."

Like Yingyue, Fengqi had transformed from a Python to a Flood Dragon, even taking on human form, showcasing a complete mastery of their life form.

In Ye Qingzhou's view, the Martial Arts of the Dragon Race could indeed be termed Genetic Martial Dao.

Through the characteristics of "Fish-into-Dragon Transformation," Ye Qingzhou glimpsed the essence of Dragon Race Martial Arts, essentially continuously cultivating to optimize one's genes, evolving into a more powerful and perfect being.

This cultivation concept, in terms of Martial Arts innovation, was unparalleled.

Fengqi had a human-like face, but his scales and sharp teeth hadn't shed.

This wasn't due to cultivation being inferior to Yingyue but simply because he preferred retaining Flood Dragon traits to display his strength and fierceness.

"Here's the Dragon Pearl you wanted."

Ye Qingzhou retrieved the item from his satchel: "Where's my reward?"

"Haha, straightforward!"

Fengqi waved his hand, directly plucking dozens of scales from Kang Jinlong's corpse and throwing them before Ye Qingzhou.

The arrogant pose was like throwing charity to a beggar on the street.

Ye Qingzhou glanced at the scattered golden dragon scales but didn't stoop to pick them up, casually tossed the Dragon Pearl to Fengqi instead.

In front of Ye Qingzhou, Fengqi directly swallowed the Dragon Pearl.

His strength skyrocketed instantly, and within the dark ocean of clouds behind him, the lightning intensified, unleashing a storm of horrifying energy capable of heaven and earth destruction.

"Haha, the Star Monarch position is finally mine!"

"Old thing, if you don't give, I'll take it myself!"

Fengqi, thinking he was close to his goal, didn't realize that as he neared success, he moved further away from vitality.

"Ah~"

Watching the smug, oblivious White Flood Dragon close to its end, Ye Qingzhou couldn't help but sigh inside.

Fengqi naturally sensed the oddity in Ye Qingzhou's demeanor, growing instantly unhappy: "Why are you sighing? As I'm about to seize the Star Monarch position and transform into a dragon, shouldn't you be happy for me?"

"Fengqi, anything given can be taken back anytime. Cultivation should come from oneself; only then is it truly yours."

Ye Qingzhou casually reminded the White Flood Dragon, after all, he took the money, so he had to say what needed to be said, staying devoted to duty.

Whether Fengqi listens or not, it's not his concern.

While the dialogue continued between the person and the Flood Dragon, another figure quickly appeared atop Celestial Halberd Peak.

"Ancestor, I'm here!"

The Golden Dragon used the Soaring Step, a golden dragon scale token hanging from his waist, levitating gracefully.

Clearly, like Gu Guangqi, he had the Golden Scale Emperor's Order.

But Gu Guangqi's order was low-grade, a one-time item.

Whereas the Golden Dragon's token was a VIP pass and could be used repeatedly.
