133: Chapter 134 The Old Man Who Drops Gold Coins

After returning to their own defensive line.

The 7th Legion encampment was filled with cheers!

"We won! We won!!"

"Luoying Ravine has been taken! And we took out two Peak Yuanhuang Rank Peng Clan Yao Emperors!"

"Lord Ling Tian is too fierce! That bomb... My god, my legs are still weak even now!"

"General Zhao is also too amazing! With just a few words, he made the Peng Clan and the Myriad Beast Pavilion suspicious of each other!"

"Haha, didn't you see Lord Ling Tian scaring those Peng Clan Yao Emperors at the end? They looked so cowardly! It cracked me up!"

The soldiers discussed it excitedly, their faces beaming with the joy of victory.

This battle was fought beautifully! It was so satisfying!

They destroyed the Luoying Ravine defensive line at a minimal cost and annihilated a large amount of the Peng Clan's fighting force, including two Peak Yuanhuang Rank Yao Emperors!

On the northern front, this was an unprecedented major victory!

Inside the central command tent.

The atmosphere was equally enthusiastic, but it carried more of a sense of rewarding merit.

General Qin Feng and Lieutenant General Zhao Weiguo sat in the main seats.

Xia Youchu sat in the lower seat. Ling Tian's massive body could only lie outside the large tent, but he stretched his head inside to participate in the meeting.

Major General Chen Tianhai, Major General Li Wushuang, and other high-ranking officers lined up on both sides.

"This battle was a complete victory!"

General Qin Feng's voice was loud and clear, his face filled with undisguised joy. "The generals gave their all, and the soldiers fought to the death; this shall be the primary merit!"

"However, the greatest merit belongs to the commander, Xia Youchu, and her War Beast, Ling Tian!"

Everyone's gaze focused on Xia Youchu and Ling Tian.

Xia Youchu stood up and bowed slightly. "This was my duty. It all depended on General Qin Feng and General Zhao's strategic planning and the soldiers' brave fighting."

Ling Tian let out a low growl as a response, but his eyes were fixed on the things placed on the table in front of General Qin Feng.

Those were several jade boxes emitting rich energy fluctuations.

Intuition told him that there were good things inside!

General Qin Feng laughed heartily. "Girl Youchu, no need to be overly modest! Ling Tian has made a great contribution! Without Ling Tian's fierce fighting, this battle would never have achieved such results!"

He said with a serious expression, "After discussion with Lieutenant General Zhao and approval from the military headquarters, we are now awarding Xia Youchu and Ling Tian as follows!"

"First, a special merit award! Awarded the Northern Frontier Sharp Edge Medal!"

"Second, a reward of one million merit points! You can exchange them for any resources in the military treasury!"

"Third, a reward of one hundred thousand High Grade Yuan Crystals! Ten portions of Heaven-Grade War Beast growth potion! One hundred jin of Star Essence Gold! Fifty jin of true dragon bone powder!..."

General Qin Feng read out a long list of rewards.

With every item read, the breathing of everyone in the tent became a bit more rapid.

It was too generous!

Special merit! The Northern Frontier Sharp Edge Medal! This was already one of the highest honors for a soldier!

One million merit points! Enough to exchange for many treasures that even Peak Yuanhuang Rank experts would covet!

High Grade Yuan Crystals, Heaven-Grade potions, Star Essence Gold, true dragon bone powder... These were all scarce resources that were of huge benefit to Cultivate and War Beast growth!

Xia Youchu's expression was calm, and she thanked them again.

These rewards were indeed very useful for her and Ling Tian.

Ling Tian, however, was already drooling with tears of emotion.

Good stuff! All good stuff!

Especially that Star Essence Gold and true dragon bone powder! Just hearing the names, he knew they were great supplements!

"In addition."

Lieutenant General Zhao Weiguo added, "In view of Ling Tian's outstanding performance in this battle, as well as his Yuan Emperor-level strength. Upon the Legion's application, the military headquarters has specially approved granting Ling Tian the title of 'Honorary Dragon Emperor', enjoying the same treatment and resource allocation authority as a Legion Deputy Commander! The Legion will try its best to satisfy the special resources he needs!"

Whoa!

Low exclamations sounded in the tent.

Honorary Dragon Emperor! Deputy Commander treatment!

This was equivalent to formally acknowledging Ling Tian's transcendent status in the 7th Legion, and even the entire Northern Legion!

A War Beast receiving such an honor was unprecedented!

But thinking about Ling Tian's terrifying battle record.

Blowing up one Peak Yuanhuang Rank Yao Emperor, tearing apart and devouring another... it seemed reasonable.

Ling Tian let out a satisfied low growl. He liked this title and treatment.

In the future, it would be more justifiable to ask the Legion for resources.

"Finally."

General Qin Feng looked at Xia Youchu with gentle eyes. "Youchu, you have already promoted to a 7-star Yuan King, and your Foundation is solid. With these reward resources, plus your previous accumulations, the Breakthrough to the Yuan Emperor Realm shouldn't be far off. The Legion will provide you with every convenience. I hope you can break through soon and become another pillar of our Human Race!"

"Thank you, General! Youchu will definitely work hard!" Xia Youchu said solemnly.

Yuan Emperor was the threshold she had to cross as soon as possible in this life.

Only when she reached the Yuan Emperor Realm could she truly begin to utilize some of the heritage and means of her past life as a Yuan Emperor.

After the meeting ended.

Xia Youchu took a large pile of rewards and returned to the independent tent prepared for her.

Ling Tian couldn't wait to grab those jade boxes containing resources and returned to his own territory.

An open area that had been marked out for him.

He first opened the box containing the Star Essence Gold.

Inside were over a hundred fist-sized pieces of strange metal that appeared a deep starry blue, with stars seemingly flowing inside. Each piece emitted a rich and peaceful fluctuation of Star Power.

"Good stuff!" Ling Tian's eyes lit up, and he grabbed one piece and shoved it into his mouth.

Crunch!

The hard Star Essence Gold shattered like a biscuit under his sharp teeth that could crush the bones of a Yao Emperor.

The pure and vast Star Power instantly erupted!

But this time, Ling Tian was well prepared.

[Destruction Furnace] operated efficiently, and the pitch-black fire of destruction burned fiercely, beginning to fission this Star Power!

The efficiency was more than several times faster than before!

[Devoured Star Essence Gold (High Grade), obtained evolution points +1500! Dragon Source +80! All attributes slightly increased!]

One piece after another.

Ling Tian swallowed the hundred pieces of Star Essence Gold like eating candies.

His evolution points grew steadily, and his Dragon Source was once again approaching the ten-thousand mark.

More importantly, his affinity and control over Star Power seemed to have improved a bit more.

Next was the true dragon bone powder.

Although it was just powder ground from the bones of other Dragon-type Yao Beasts and not true dragon bone, it still contained a considerable amount of Dragon Clan Origin and Body Tempering energy.

Ling Tian poured the fifty jin of true dragon bone powder into a large stone trough, then lay directly inside, having a "true dragon bone powder bath".

The powder touched his dark golden skin and was immediately absorbed, turning into a warm current that fused into his limbs and bones, strengthening his bones, muscles, and scales.

[Absorbed true dragon bone powder (mixed), obtained evolution points +8000! Dragon Source +450! All attributes moderately increased!]

Awesome!

This feeling of becoming stronger just by lying down was fantastic!

Finally, the Heaven-Grade War Beast growth potion.

Ten crystal-clear potions were packed in special jade bottles, emitting an alluring energy luster.

Ling Tian pulled out the corks and poured them all into his mouth at once.

Boom!

Ten streams of pure, gentle, yet incomparably majestic energy exploded inside his body! They quickly penetrated every cell, nourishing his Physical Body and promoting the slow optimization of his life level.

[Devoured Heaven-Grade War Beast growth potion ×10, obtained evolution points +50000! Strength +800! Stamina +1200! Agility +500! Mental Energy +400! Physical growth potential slightly increased!]

After devouring this wave of rewards.

Ling Tian's attributes ushered in another surge!

His evolution points had accumulated to an astonishing number.

[856000 / 1280000]

More importantly, he had a clearer understanding of his own strength.

Tier 1 Enhanced Body is equivalent to the Early Stage of the Yuanhuang Realm, but his actual combat power is enough to hard-shake those below 4-star Yuanhuang, and contend with 5-star Yuanhuang!

And the Enhanced Body, according to the information he learned from the evolution system, is divided into four stages:

Tier 1, entry-level Enhanced Body, life level transition, basic attributes surge, Awakening core combat stance and some exclusive abilities, such as his current Dragon Emperor Devourer form.

Tier 2, ability deepening and further evolution of exclusive organs, beginning to contact and initially grasp the Rule power related to his own Bloodline, combat power undergoes a qualitative change, can dominate a region.

Tier 3, Rule mastery becomes perfect, forming a unique Rule Domain, life form begins to optimize towards a more perfect direction, moving heaven and earth power with every gesture, comparable to a 7-star Yuanhuang, is a leader among Yuanhuang.

Tier 4, Enhanced Body Perfection.

Rule Domain Major Achievement, Bloodline potential excavated to the limit of the current stage, Physical Body and energy reach a perfect balance, beginning to prepare for the next life level, Growth Body.

At this stage, it is a near-invincible existence in the Yuanhuang Realm, and can be called the Emperor among Emperors!

That is the level where one can truly treat Peak Yuanhuang Rank as food, undoubtedly the Dragon Emperor Devourer!

"Tier 4 Enhanced Body corresponds to Peak Yuanhuang Rank, and even touches the threshold of Yuan Emperor..."

Ling Tian licked his lips, his eyes full of anticipation.

"The road is still very long."

"But it shouldn't be too slow, right?"

He looked towards the Peng Clan's defensive line, a trace of appetite flashing in his eyes.
