At night, a wyvern flapped its wings and appeared at the blue lake.
Strangely, Chen Rui couldnât find Paglio at several common places. There was a faint concern in his heart, so he walked to the blue lake with his last hope, wanting to dive into the water to find out.
There was a wicked laugh coming from his back, âHuman brother, you took off your clothes, are you planning to take a shower?â
Chen Rui could never forget this familiar voice. The âhuman brotherâ gave him goosebumps. He turned around, but there was nothing from the source of the sound.
âPaglio, you asshole! If you donât come out now, I will go back!â
âHehe... Why donât you threaten with committing suicide? Brother?â The poison dragonâs figure finally appeared from the open space behind but he still didnât forget to disgust Chen Rui.
âYouâre still saying that!â Chen Rui moved and rushed toward him. âYouâre such a disgusting guy!â
âYour speed increased again!â Poison dragonâs eyes lit up, but he took a step backward.
Chen Rui felt that an invisible force was blocking in front of him as if a transparent wall stopping him from moving forward. Chen Rui thought of a move and slammed his fist toward the âwallâ. It actually sounded like it was a physical hit. Also, this âwallâ was extremely sturdy that it even reflected all the damage. It made him agitated. Suffering a slight loss immediately made him became competitive.
âEven your attack has become stronger!â After Paglio finished his sentence, he saw Chen Rui leaped high, striking downward with his hand shaped as a blade. Paglio being Paglio; he instantly noticed the weird power on Chen Ruiâs hand that was exuding the terrible sharpness as if a sturdy giant legendary weapon.
âDamn guy, donât be crazy!â Paglio appeared in front of Chen Rui instantly and Chen Rui was shocked. Chen Rui was using of the Mizar state, and it was too late to stop. Then, he saw Paglio swiped his arm like lightning while the âbladeâ struck directly on the poison dragonâs armm, making a crisp sound as if two metal objects colliding at one place.
Chen Rui felt that the struck on the strongest shield. There was a strange vibrating force on the shield which dispersed the sharpness of . The remaining power could not break the defense of the âshieldâ. Instead, he was blown away by the shock and fell to the ground.
Paglio also fell to the ground, and his face looked shocked. The arm that blocked the was unharmed, but behind his arm, there was a minor cut on the poison dragonâs forehead as if it was sliced by a sharp blade.
The poison dragonâs physique was extraordinary, so the blade mark was instantly recovered back to its initial state. However, the surprise in his heart was difficult to calm down. That blow just now was seemingly completely defended, but there was a mysterious force that incredibly passed through the defense and hurt him.
Chen Rui stood up and his heart was filled with admiration as he looked at Paglio being âunharmedâ by his . This guy, although being sarcastic, his strength is unfathomable. If he dispels the seal and restores his power as Demon Overlord, I donât know how powerful he can be.
âYou are... right, according to your saying, this is abnormal! Extremely abnormal!â The poison dragon looked indignant. âYou were still injured to the point that you said youâll suicide. Now, youâre almost fully recovered while your power and speed also advance to another level again. Besides, that secret technique just now is very strange. It can actually hurt me! If you continue to grow like this, you can conquer the entire Demon Realm within a few years!â
As the poison dragon spoke, his hands waved in the air. Then, 2 small marks with the diameter of 1 meter appeared on the ground behind him, emitting a strange light.
âYou call that injured?â Chen Rui looked at the forehead that the poison dragon pointed at with disdain. He looked at the 2 markings, âWhat are those two?â
âYou even forgot about the Dragon Inscriptions?â Paglio scolded, âSuch an ignorant guy, but you are also extremely lucky at the same time! The secret technique just now must be the grand masterâs inheritance. Itâs really amazing. However, it such a waste in your hands! The one that you attacked just now was inscription. Unless you can completely destroy it, otherwise, the reflected damage increases as your damage increases. I am now at the strength of Great Demon King, so the inscription manifests the strength of a Demon King. With your current strength, you canât break the inscription no matter how strong your secret technique is. If I didnât stop you, you wouldâve born the damage of your secret technique just now!â
Chen Rui shuddered because he finally understood why Paglio wanted to intercept, then he immediately cleared his mind: It seems that the record of killing Mikas last night still makes me somewhat complacent. No matter how strong the is, thereâs still a limit, so I must be careful.
âSpeaking of which, you havenât been learning the inscriptions.â Paglio pointed at another marking, âDo you remember what this is?â
âThis is...â Chen Ruiâs understanding of inscriptions remained at memorizing, and his understanding was barely the basics. While he was going through the memorized inscriptions in his memory, a notification suddenly appeared in his mind. âUnknown metadata is found. Do you want to activate ?â
Chen Rui was stunned. . Itâs that incomprehensible expensive skill. 10,000 auras per usage, and it only lasts for half an hour. Now, I have 110,000 auras. To uncover more mystery of the Super System, Iâll give it a try!
âActivate!â
As soon as Chen Rui confirmed in his mind, he felt that his spirit was heightened in an instant. He was reading and analyzing the relevant parts of his memory in a strange way. 10 minutes had passed, seeing Chen Rui looking blurry still, Paglio shook his head. The difficulty of Dragon Inscription is quite hard. Even a dragon canât master it easily. For this ignorant guy, it is probably harder than achieving the Demon Lord level. I should probably be patient and teach him slowly.
âForget it, with your intelligence...â
Before Paglio could finish his words, he heard Chen Rui shouted, âPaglio, tell me all the inscription knowledge you know now. Donât ask me why! Quick!â
Paglio was stunned, and he immediately responded. He began to teach while drawing on the ground. After he talked for a while, he wanted to pause and rest, but the human eyesâ were staring at him and urged, âQuick! Keep talking, the faster the better. Itâs best to finish it all!â
When did this guy become so eager to learn? The poison dragon knew there was something odd, but he couldnât care less and told everything he could think of while drawing everything in the air.
Chen Rui wasnât trying to comprehend at all, but he was concentrating to memorize everything. Soon, half an hour passed. He didnât care much and activated again until the poison dragon finished talking.
âOkay, donât disturb me now!â Chen Rui felt that his brain was like a computer, quickly storing, analyzing, calculating, and even cracking the data that was memorized!
He picked up a branch and started drawing on the ground.
Paglio was shaking his head at first, but he was more surprised toward the end. Although the inscription that Chen Rui drew was far less powerful than Paglio expected, the accuracy was increasingly higher and eventually flawless!
The effective time of the second was finally over; the data was completely analyzed â perhaps it should be called that the analyzed information formed a brand-like thing that engraved deeply in Chen Ruiâs mind. It was as if he had mastered the knowledge, and he was able to use it freely.
Certainly, that was only a part of the knowledge from the poison dragon. Yet, the rest were still imprinted in memory. Therefore, Chen Rui could still continue activating to crack more mysteries.
âYour two inscriptions, one of them is and the other is . As for my drawings... this represents while this stands for . Then, this string represents , am I right?â Chen Rui asked Paglio.
Paglio nodded subconsciously. Suddenly, he stepped forward and looked at Chen Rui with a strange look as if he was going to swallow Chen Rui.
Chen Rui had a chill down his spine. Is this poison dragonâs nest at the Brokeback Mountain [1]!?
âI have more reason to suspect that you are a dragon rather than a damn human!â Paglio said while clenching his teeth. âEven a dragon canât master the Dragon Inscription so fast!â
Paglio was good at Dragon Inscription. He had immersed himself in the field for nearly 10,000 years of knowledge and experience. Thus, he was also quite famous among the dragons in the Demon Realm. Yet, he never expected this human who was an ignorant rookie to truly master the fundamentals in the blink of an eye. It wasnât mere memorizing like before, but it was truly understanding!
âGrand master! It must be the inheritance of the grand master!â Paglio reacted very quickly and started at Chen Rui fiercely. âIt seems that this Master Wukong is definitely a dragon! Or the legendary dragonâs primogenitor! Why did the primogenitor care for such a shameless human? Yet, I, Master Paglio, a powerful, handsome and talented dragon is ignored!â
âYouâre jealous again! Thatâs not a virtue of the dragon.â Chen Rui protruded his lips disdainfully, but he was overjoyed in his heart. So this is the mystery of ! The 20,000 auras spent are absolutely worth it as it could actually deal with the most troublesome Dragon Inscription. Based on this, if I can learn anything, wouldnât I be a superman?
However, I still donât understand what âunknown metadataâ means. Perhaps there are some restrictions on the target of .
The Super System was like a huge treasure. Chen Rui had gotten the key now, but he was only digging at the shallowest level. The latter would definitely be worth looking forward to.
When he heard that Paglio was complaining to Brother Wukong about what he couldnât get, Chen Rui shook his head: Whatâs with the primogenitor of the dragons? Itâs just a monkey. Moreover, itâs one of the biggest monkey-exclusive brands in the primeval age store, Spiritual Stone Monkey!
Right at that moment, Chen Rui suddenly felt a strong dizziness in his head as if the world was spinning around. The heightened spirit during previously actually showed an unprecedented feeble. His entire body was staggering; he was going to fall to the ground.
Paglio noticed something was wrong with him, so he quickly supported Chen Ruito sit down on the field slowly.
Chen Rui sat on the ground for a while; he finally got a little better. He felt that the spirit that had been abundant all the time became extremely depleted as if the gushing spring suddenly dried up. It was no wonder he could hardly hold himself.
It seemed that wasnât a skill that could be used casually. The demand on spirit was quite high. Using it twice consecutively just now actually emptied his spirit.
At that moment, he immediately exchanged a bottle of Spirit Recovery Potion that cost 2000 auras and drank it. However, this white potion which was equivalent to the potion brewed by a grand master was not as effective as expected. Along with ability, the recovery of spirit was only slightly faster. This might not be due to the potion effect, but the side effect of .
The poison dragon had a lot more questions, but seeing Chen Ruiâs state, he didnât insist; he let Chen Rui rode the wyvern back to rest. In Chen Ruiâs current situation, he could no longer use the ordinary . Fortunately, Kegu was familiar with this round-trip, so Kegu didnât need his orders and flew directly back to the laboratory of the palace.
Chen Rui went back to his room. He felt an unprecedented mental exhaustion, and he fell asleep.
