158: Five-star martial artist, coming from behind!

"How... how could there be a real Dragon skull here?"

Feeling the pressure emanating from the Dragon skull.

Li Canglan felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

This suffocating sense of oppression was something he had only felt from the Black Scaled Flood Dragon before.

But the Black Scaled Flood Dragon was a living creature!

After the Black Scaled Flood Dragon died, that sense of oppression had vanished completely.

Yet, this Dragon skull before his eyes already looked quite aged just by appearance.

To think it could still emit such a strong sense of oppression.

How powerful must the owner of this Dragon skull have been before death?

A Grandmaster?

Or perhaps a Marquis?

"There are only some three-star Water Demons and five-star blue water snakes in this vicinity."

"Relying on these monsters alone, it is impossible for them to be a match for a real Dragon."

"Why would a real Dragon, so terrifying even after death, die in a place like this?"

Li Canglan felt puzzled, but soon cast his doubts to the back of his mind.

He kicked his legs and swam up towards the Dragon skull.

Observing this skull, which had a diameter of over twenty meters.

The shock in Li Canglan's heart could not calm down for a long time.

Just how exaggerated must the body of this real Dragon have been?

After searching around the Dragon skull, Li Canglan confirmed that there were no valuable treasures left nearby.

Li Canglan, feeling slightly regretful, seemed to have suddenly thought of something.

He reached out and touched the Dragon skull, then activated Gluttony Desire.

The Dragon skull emitted a series of crisp cracking sounds.

Fine cracks appeared on the bones, and pure energy dissipated from the cracks, surging into Li Canglan's body.

"It really works."

In fact, Li Canglan had long thought that he might be able to Cultivate by devouring corpses and bones through Gluttony Desire.

However, firstly, the energy contained in ordinary Demonic Beast corpses was not very much.

Secondly, Li Canglan ultimately could not get past this mental hurdle of his own.

But facing the terrifying energy contained within this Dragon bone, he wavered!

Wisps of pure energy surged into Li Canglan's body.

The Water element Divine Patterns began to condense at an extremely fast speed.

Almost instantly, he crossed the three-star mark and entered the Four-Star Martial Master Realm!

Moreover, the Divine Patterns continued to rise at a steady speed.

Eleven Divine Patterns...

Twelve Divine Patterns...

Thirteen Divine Patterns...

In the end, the Water element condensed a total of fifteen Divine Patterns before stopping.

Furthermore, Li Canglan's Water element talent also reached A-rank along with it!

He had a faint feeling that it would not be long.

His Water element would catch up from behind and reach S-rank talent!

Keeping pace with his Lightning element talent.

"Five-Star Martial Master!"

Before entering the underwater building complex, Li Canglan never expected.

That he would be the first to reach the Five-Star Martial Master Realm in the Water element.

And with the blessing of his elemental talent and strength.

He could even breathe directly with his mouth and nose in the lake.

Without choking!

For him, this was absolutely a qualitative change!

The only price was that the Dragon skull had turned into dust and disappeared.

At this moment, Li Canglan suddenly noticed a USB drive placed where the Dragon's mouth used to be.

"How could there be a USB drive in this place?"

Li Canglan picked up the USB drive and put it into his spatial ring.

After sweeping through the building again to confirm there was nothing left, Li Canglan left the building.

When he swam out, he looked up and saw hundreds of Water Demons staring at him covetously.

"Was that Female Water Demon's singing some kind of high-concentration aphrodisiac?"

It had already been over half an hour.

To think there were still suicidal Water Demons rushing towards him one after another?

"Since you are delivering yourselves to my door, don't blame me."

Li Canglan leaped, shooting out like a torpedo.

Hundreds of Water Demons controlled the water flow to form a vortex eye, wanting to tear Li Canglan apart.

But Li Canglan just waved his hand casually.

The water flow that had just condensed dissipated with a boom!

Human-like astonishment flashed across the faces of the Water Demons.

Before they could think of escaping, Li Canglan, who had rushed into their midst, was like an unstable bomb.

Shining with dazzling brilliance.

Endless purple lightning erupted from his body, blasting all hundreds of Water Demons into slag!

The entire water area became silent once again.

After leaving the lake, Li Canglan continued his life of hunting and improving in the wilderness.

Luofeng City, Patrol Guard.

"Envoy Fu, it has been so long, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

The Eagle-browed Old Man approached Captain Fu again, unable to hide the anger in his brows and eyes.

Captain Fu helplessly put down his work and apologized,

"Sir, please understand, the perpetrator will definitely find a way to hide after committing the crime."

"The wilderness is a lawless zone; there is no surveillance, and even the clues have been completely wiped out by the wandering Demonic Beasts. We, the Patrol Guard, are simply unable to proceed."

The Eagle-browed Old Man narrowed his eyes, a nameless anger rising from the bottom of his heart,

"Do you mean to say that you have been toying with me for the past half month?"

He suppressed the anger in his heart, his tone seemingly able to freeze the surrounding air,

"I only ask you one question: can you find the perpetrator or not!"

"Yes or no!"

Captain Fu's face looked ugly; only after a long while did he say,

"Yes, but..."

"There are no buts!"

The Eagle-browed Old Man flicked his sleeves and left,

"I see that it is you, Luofeng City and Shanyang City, who want to shield the perpetrator. Since you are unwilling, then I will go find the perpetrator myself!"

"If I find the perpetrator, your Patrol Guard should be disbanded!"

After the Eagle-browed Old Man left, a Patrol Guard leader came to Captain Fu's side,

"Commander Fu, what should we do?"

Captain Fu watched the Eagle-browed Old Man's figure, slowly withdrew his gaze, and sighed.

"In the absence of any clues, unless we interrogate every Martial Artist and Martial Master above three-star in the city one by one!"

"Otherwise, without even a corpse left behind, how is it possible to find the perpetrator?"

This was not Captain Fu intentionally slacking off.

But he was truly powerless.

Even though he was the head of the Luofeng City Patrol Guard, it was impossible to thoroughly investigate all suspicious powerhouses in Luofeng City.

That would only cause chaos and would be meaningless.

"Then this teacher, he..."

"Either he will have to find a scapegoat to vent his anger, or we wait for him to give up when he realizes the difficulty."

Captain Fu's expression was complex.

People coming from the Base City often just want an explanation.

It was just that he did not wish to wrong anyone because of this.

If he could not give the other party an explanation, then he could only let the other party find it themselves.

A few minutes later, a spy from the Patrol Guard reported back.

"Commander Fu, that teacher from Hanghai has left the city."

Captain Fu frowned slightly. Left the city?

He thought the other party intended to find a Martial Master they didn't like and pin the name of the perpetrator on them.

Now it seemed the other party had come prepared.

At this moment, Captain Fu suddenly remembered the rumors spreading in Luofeng City during this period.

It was said that many Demonic Beasts outside the city had disappeared without a trace.

Could it be that it had some connection to the perpetrator?
