Crack! Crack!

"I feel so unwilling."

Arlong uttered those words with a despair in his face as his head started cracking.

When his head was destroyed, his body started falling apart. His blood dried, and the shattered rocks started melting under the temperature of the Fire Qi.

Ken stared at the molten piece of rock. His hand started shaking, and so did his legs.

Thud!

The next moment, he fell on the ground.

That look, that strength, that determination, was all a ruse. His body wasn't healed. His wounds hadn't gone away.

That last attack was all of his determination and growth during this battle.

[You changed the Fate of a Major Character]

[You earned 500 Destiny Eggs]

Those notifications brought a smile to his face.

"Ken!"

Alice, Elaine, and Julia rushed next to him. They crouched down and checked his condition.

Alice even released her Blue Flame and started healing him. However, the blue flame was very dim due to her lack of Qi.

At this moment, Ken, despite his injuries and pain, couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Alice, Elaine, Julia, WE WON!"

Three girls also smiled, but looking at his condition, their smiles were bitter. While they were also injured, their injuries were nothing compared to his.

Ken saw this and said.

"Don't worry! I have this."

He bought the Middle-Level Healing Pill, a few Low-Level Healing Pills from the system.

He placed the middle-level healing pill on his mouth and gave the others to his girls.

"Take it!"

The girls didn't hesitate. They took the pills and ate them.

Unlike Green and Blue Flames, these pills wouldn't heal their wounds instantly. That was impossible.

Otherwise, he would've bought them during the battle.

As their wounds were healing, Julia couldn't help but ask.

"Ken, what happened to your body? Why were you so injured?"

Because they were busy with their battles, they only saw him using Green Flames to cover his body and move at incredible speed.

Except for that, they didn't know much about his new move.

"Yeah! I don't know why you got so strong, but you mustn't use that move if it keeps destroying your body." Elaine worriedly said.

Alice didn't say anything but basically agreed with them.

Hearing concern in their tone, Ken chuckled and raised his hands. He pinched their cheeks and said.

"I got this idea from you two."

"From us?" Julia was stunned when she heard that.

Ken nodded.

"I saw you use perfect control of Qi to enhance your strength to a superhuman level. I knew I didn't have that kind of Qi Control, so I replaced it with another idea."

"It was Elaine's idea of turning her flame into armor. If flame, something that is intangible, could be used as flame, why couldn't it be the energy?"

"Before I got that idea, though, I was using three different armors around my body."

At this moment, Alice interrupted with an excited tone.

"Yeah! I also saw that. Your body was shining with golden light, but you were constantly using ice powers. It was so cool."

Ken chuckled and said.

"Yes, I was using Dragon Scales, Ice Armor, and Golden Elephant Body. These are the results of my Dragon Bloodline, Secret Technique, and Cultivation Technique."

"But during the battle, I realized something. While they do improve my strength, it's like stacking one armor on top of another."

"It gives good defense, but it doesn't increase my offensive ability that much. So, when I saw Elaine using Flame Armor, something clicked."

"Although I don't have Perfect Qi Control, I could use what I have. And that was three different energies used to create those armors."

Elaine's eyes lit up as she said, but they immediately dimmed.

"Wait, are you not talking about Qi?"

Ken nodded.

"Yes, Qi is simply the source of all our power. But every time we use an Innate Ability, a Martial Art, or a Bloodline Ability, our Qi transforms."

"This transformation can be divided into two types: Shape Transformation and Form Transformation."

"Both of them can be controlled. Like when I controlled the Golden Elephant Armor into a drill."

"Or, when our Qi is transformed into energy that is used to condense Golden Elephant Armor. Normally, both are done by using a martial art or any other ability."

"But, there is a period of their transformation to their completion. So, what I did was simple. Forcefully fuse the energy produced by three energies into one."

"Because they were already transforming their shapes, my forceful fusion caused a massive backlash, which resulted in the destruction of my body parts."

At this moment, Julia muttered.

"No wonder you were using Green Flame to keep your body stable. If you hadn't done that…."

She didn't need to say. It was clear at a glance that if he hadn't done that, he would be dead.

"But then how did you control it and in such a short time?"

Alice asked with some confusion.

Ken pointed at their bodies, specifically at their red Qi.

"Ancient Dragon Qi turned out to be more than just a safety measure against the heat. It can forcefully interrupt their shape transformation."

"Once their shape transformation is interrupted, only their energy remains. And, by merging those energies, with the addition of Ancient Dragon Qi, I created a new energy."

"This energy made my strength even more potent. But there is one problem."

"Qi consumption!" Elaine muttered.

Ken nodded his head.

"Yeah! Ancient Dragon Qi requires a lot of normal Qi to produce. The only good thing is that I can prepare it before the battle and store it inside my Dantian."

"If I hadn't done that, I would've run out of Ancient Dragon Qi in an instant."

Alice excitedly spoke.

"Doesn't that mean you are two realms stronger than a normal cultivator? Oh my god! You are a genius among geniuses, Ken."

Ken shook his head.

"I am not that powerful. Against an ordinary cultivator, yeah, sure! But against a genius, this kind of boost will be ordinary."

Elaine speechlessly stared at Alice and said.

"Didn't you realize during the battle that monster never got to use his Fire Element?"

Julia nodded.

"He seems to be suppressed by the Fire Qi. But isn't he born out of Fire Dragon Bloodline?"

Ken replied.

"That's the case, but when did Sect's founder die?"

"Thousands of years ago!" Julia replied.

Ken nodded and continued.

"He was only around the Spiritual Palace Realm, which means he shouldn't have been born for more than two hundred years."

"If it is less, then it makes even more sense. The longer the blood of our sect's founder took to produce a spirituality, the more diluted it becomes."

"Even with my normal Dragon Qi, I wouldn't be able to keep you guys safe. I needed the power of Ancient Dragon Qi."

"So, how could a broken bloodline keep him alive for such a long time? It was obvious that he was using the actively producing bloodline energy to keep himself safe."

"This not only slowed down his progress but also kept him at constant risk. That's why he was so fixated on eating me."

Alice slapped her forehead.

"No wonder! So during our battle, he was suppressed from the beginning?"

Elaine nodded.

"Yeah! That's why even with this kind of power, Ken can only fight beyond realms against ordinary people."

"The higher we go, the harder it becomes. Just take Julia as an example. She can use the strength of the Foundation Establishment Realm."

"But that's only helpful until she faces the Foundation Establishment Realm. It won't work against someone higher because their control improves with their realm."

Alice couldn't help but pout hearing that.

"Doesn't that mean our ultimate move will get useless as we go forward?"

Ken shook his head and turned his attention towards her.

'System, open her character panel!'

'Hmm! It seems like her luck is a little worse than Julia's and Elaine's. But it doesn't matter. With my help, she can get stronger.'

Thinking about it, Ken said.

"You should start training the Hundred Dragons Body Technique. For now, don't try to improve your cultivation, okay?"

Alice felt a bit dissatisfied with his order.

After all, her cultivation was lowest among them. Not only that, but she was also the weakest.

So, she desperately wanted to improve her cultivation, but upon hearing his words, she agreed.

"Alright!"

Hearing her depressed tone, Ken chuckled.

"Don't worry about your cultivation speed! The higher we are, the slower our cultivation speed will be. You will catch up in no time."
