Chapter 263: Chapter 146: Canglong Recognizes Its Master, Power Surges

"Oh."

Fang Qingzhu was, after all, not foolish.

After being reminded by Xiaoyu, she hurriedly cast a technique of Three-Colored Divine Light, chanting under her breath.

Chen Ping perked up his ears to listen carefully, but he still couldn’t make out what spell she was chanting.

He just noticed that the golden seal in his hand suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and a vast, familiar, gentle energy appeared once more.

This time, it wasn’t at Cuihu Residence, nor were there schemes from all sides, life and death struggles... Chen Ping focused intently and discovered that his own bloodline was boiling, seemingly with an extreme sense of excitement.

How to describe this feeling?

Like a wanderer returning to their hometown.

Parents long separated, seeing their son again.

Intimate, natural, longing, bloodline connection, resonance of Qi Mechanism...

"Alas... if one possesses the True Dragon Nature, even as a hidden dragon of the world, or a bandit chieftain with hopes of unifying, there’s always a glimmer of hope to gain acknowledgment as the master.

But you are merely a small-time Captain, your Military Qi has not gathered, nor has the people’s hearts inclined, how could you possibly succeed in gaining recognition as the master?"

Fang Qingzhu stood afar, sighing, thinking that if recognition as the master were truly possible, she would already be hearing the sound of a dragon’s roar.

This chaotic camp would, under a strange power’s influence, align harmoniously.

Thinking of this, she shook her head again, hoping that this ferocious Boss Chen wouldn’t take his anger out on her.

"Roar..."

A long roar suddenly echoed in her ears.

Fang Qingzhu shivered all over, her body jolted.

She suddenly turned to look at Chen Ping.

She saw a small, slender golden dragon appear above his head, raising its head and roaring, growing against the wind.

The dragon’s ethereal shadow glimmered with golden light, rising into the air, the surroundings stirred with winds and clouds, flags fluttered wildly, grass leaves and trees leaned back, and countless exclamations echoed from afar and near in the military camp.

It wasn’t over yet.

The golden dragon shadow roared back and forth, its form growing larger, gradually growing dragon horns and five claws, transforming from void to reality.

Majestic and intimidating, it spiraled and meandered in the sky with an air of sovereignty over the world.

The dragon shadow raised its head, looking towards the north, roaring twice more.

Its sound shook the land...

Fang Qingzhu rubbed her eyes, unleashed the Purple Clarity Spirit Eye, and looked around.

Gradually, her mouth opened wide, unable to close again.

In her special perspective, she clearly saw an invisible, formless energy wave spreading to the eight directions, surging beyond three miles away.

Enveloping the entire military camp completely and abundantly.

Inside the camp, the soldiers who were once despondent with frowns all looked up simultaneously.

Their faces full of excitement, fervor, and zeal.

A few Primordial Martial Arts Hall disciples practicing sword techniques suddenly shone with bright black light, divine patterns roamed, achieving Iron Body Realm Perfection with breakthroughs.

This was the physical path, and a few Inner Cultivation Disciples training in Seven Stars Swordsmanship and Taiyin Heart Method let out a long howl, faint clouds rising above their heads...

All breaking through together.

Twelve Main Meridians Perfection.

"This..."

"It actually succeeded in recognizing the master."

"The first dragon roar, the military aligns; the second dragon roar, unrivaled fortune; the third dragon roar, the world is united."

"Could you be the Crown Prince of the current dynasty?"

Fang Qingzhu could hardly believe her eyes.

Could it be that her earlier judgment was wrong, and this person before her is the true Heaven’s Mandate?

Otherwise, how could he have recognized the master of the Azure Dragon Seal and activated its power to such a pinnacle level?

One must know, when the previous Southern King controlled the Azure Dragon Seal, it could only activate the ten-zhang ’Dragon Power Domain’.

Meaning that within a radius of ten zhang, when meeting with his civil and military officials, he could slowly win their loyalty, making them follow willingly without rebellion.

Even so, wherever he passed, meeting capable people, with just a brief conversation, he could greatly enhance their goodwill.

Even those with strong will and abundant Qi Number, who were not greatly affected by the Dragon Power, would still have a favorable impression of him, unwilling to oppose.

Of course, this was during a time when the Southern King’s army was well-equipped, and his territory was sufficiently extensive.

Only then could such miraculous effects exist.

But this was already extraordinary, or how else would there be rumors of "obtaining the Azure Dragon Seal is to become the Heaven’s Mandate Bright Lord"?

And like Chen Ping here, with only a few soldiers under his command, just having recognized the master, the Dragon Power Domain already covered a three-mile radius...

Even someone as powerful as herself felt a slight sense of acknowledgment deep in her heart, guessing that this person might truly be the Bright Lord of All Under Heaven, endowed by Heaven’s Mandate.

The influence on her own heart showed that it was no longer about whether the Azure Dragon Seal could recognize the master, but about whether he could unify the world.

"Very good, so that’s how it is."

Chen Ping seemed to have acquired a great toy, his Heart and Spirit soared infinitely.

He felt as though countless thoughts surged within his heart, some close, some resistant, some indifferent, some doubtful, some fearful, some timid...

A myriad of feelings, every mood imaginable.

No one truly wanted to fight, they didn’t know who they were fighting for, they just wanted to survive, most were like walking corpses.

"This must be the thoughts of five thousand soldiers, indeed a scattered mass."

Chen Ping’s heart was stirred.

"How can they be twisted into a single rope, with all pulling in one direction?"

Thinking of the Hu People’s invasion, the loss of rivers and mountains, the wailing of the common people, he felt a surge of righteous anger and killing intent, his blood boiling, suddenly let out a deep growl: "Kill!"

Screech...

Thousands in the camp drew their swords, raising spears and halberds, collectively shouting out, "Kill!"

The sound shook the heavens.

In that moment, all resistance, doubt, fear, and timidness vanished.

Everyone’s heart was consumed with a single thought...

To advance without retreat, life without survival.

In an instant, the entire camp, whether cavalry, infantry, or archers, stood united, their determination forming a solid wall.

"The military spirit can be used."

Chen Ping let out a hearty laugh.

Watching the soldiers gather ten times faster than before, he no longer paid attention, simply closed his eyes and concentrated.

"Enhance, Primordial Golden Body Technique."

Having recognized the master of the Azure Dragon Seal, the return of the military spirit was both a small matter and a significant one.

Now, with only five thousand soldiers, it wasn’t enough to control a region.

If they could achieve victory after victory, absorbing the defeated enemy forces, and further utilizing the Azure Dragon Seal’s strange abilities, wouldn’t their might grow stronger with each battle, their power expanding like a rolling snowball?

Of course, to achieve this outcome, the first principle was that he must not be captured by the enemy, employing a beheading strategy.

A true expert wouldn’t be affected by this Qi Mechanism, if they relentlessly targeted him, no amount of future development prospects would be of any use.

Therefore, the power is crucial, becoming strong is even more important, he must become stronger in advance.

With this thought, 32 points of Tribulation Value ignited with a roar.

Boundless force surged into his body.

The top acupoint Baihui of the Three Divine Acupoints seemed to crack open, transforming into a vast lake, infinite Essence and Blood Qi surged in, making the body’s essence once again substantial.

As his strength increased and his body became firmer, the Essence within him seemed like a sieve draining, being absorbed completely.

A deep, cellular hunger emerged once again.

This time, however, there was no worry.

As his physique rapidly grew stronger, a majestic and vast gentle water-energy burst from the Azure Dragon Seal, pouring directly into his body, merging into his divine acupoint, replenishing what the body needed.

His body’s bones cracked and grew, he became slightly taller.

The Qi Mechanism climbed steadily, the Blood Flame surged, golden light like a curtain...

A rotating wind surged around him, and a whirlwind swept away in all directions.

Even Fang Qingzhu and Cheng Wuduan felt a bit unstable, retreating repeatedly.
