Chapter 52: Only Believe in One's Own Strength

  After waiting for a few minutes, the effect of the disguised medicine wore off, and a burst of light flashed across Yatsu's body. His shape began to slowly change back, the giant dragon's body transformed back into Yatsu's Ryūjin form, and the giant dragon's wings also changed back into Dragon Blade Wings, slowly retracting back in.

  After the effects of all other medicines had passed, Yatsu fell into a weakened state. After all, using medicine to forcibly increase one's strength was nothing special, but attack medicine, defense medicine, disguise medicine, and potential medicine were all poured in, so many medicines that Yatsu not only possessed terrifying attacking power and defensive power but also greatly injured his vitality, causing him to fall into weakness and needing several days of rest.

  "Alright, let's go...", said Yats as he returned, looking exhausted and weak in his clothes. Lin Chen felt a pang of sympathy for him, but at this moment, he couldn't help either.

  "Heh heh, being able to pretend to be a giant dragon for a bit is worth feeling weak for a few days." Yatss was indeed weak, but thinking about his powerful appearance just now and how those Sky and King level strongmen didn't dare move against him, Yatss couldn't help but laugh. Even if it meant being weak, it was worth it.

  Looking at Yatou's appearance, how could Lin Chen not know that he was comforting himself and telling himself not to mind his weak state? Moved in secret, Lin Chen also decided to find a good furnace as soon as possible, refine the Bloodline Pill, and let Yatou become a true giant dragon as soon as possible.

  With the weakened Yats, Lin Chen's disguise potion also wore off, and he transformed back. One man and one dragon turned around and walked towards the direction of the Alchemist Guild.

  After tonight's performance, Lin Chen's desire for strength grew stronger. The pharmacist had no combat power and could only rely on others to fight. Mocha Elder had already given Lin Chen a vivid lesson.

  What's the use of having strong pharmacist abilities? You don't have any real power, you can only rely on others. Once you're without a guardian by your side, a pharmacist is basically nothing. Even if you're an epic-level pharmacist, it's all the same. So, only when one's own strength increases does one truly have confidence.

  "It's too terrifying......" On a small hill about several hundred meters away from the Pharmacists' Guild, where they were located, a man with a large sword on his back muttered to himself, his face filled with a shocked expression.

  " Forget it, I won't be able to complete this task after all. Even a few king-level existences couldn't succeed... It seems that this mission is doomed to fail..." He glanced at the direction where the dragon knight had left in shock, then looked deeply at Xia Lu who was staying with the Alchemist Guild, before turning around and leaving.

  "Ugh... how terrifying...", on the other side, about ten or so miles away from the Pharmacists' Guild, Benoicudo and his companions finally stopped running, looking back with a lingering fear, everyone was filled with a sense of relief at having narrowly escaped.

  "It's too terrifying, I didn't expect that there would be such a frightening dragon knight here...", the last king-level swordsman next to him said in a low voice, still looking fearful. The sword that could instantly kill a warrior of the same level was something that even this king-level swordsman thought he couldn't block, after all, the movement speed of that dragon knight was too eerie, almost comparable to the legendary teleportation magic.

  "Nothing more to say, let's go quickly. Being able to save one's life today is really just luck...", Beno Kudo said in a terrified tone, he was just a king-level summoner after all. If even a king-level swordsman thought they couldn't block it, then Beno Kudo didn't even have the desire to try.

  "Why!?! Why don't you avenge him!?! What if he's a Dragon Knight, so what!?! Are we just going to watch as Uncle is killed?!?" At this time, the Sky-level warrior who had been shouting for revenge finally had the opportunity to speak up and loudly shouted.

  Everyone looked at him with a foolish expression, the strength of that dragon knight just now, everyone saw it with their own eyes, revenge? The other party is willing to let you leave and should be grateful.

  "Never mind, let's just go back...", Beno Kodo said with a tired and depressed expression on his face. This mission could be said to have ended in complete failure. Not only did they fail to obtain the item, but they also lost several top-notch experts, including even one of their king-level warriors. It was truly a case of losing more than they gained.

  Apart from that Sky-level warrior, everyone else was still grumbling in dissatisfaction. After the narrow escape and the failure of the mission, they slowly retreated. Today's mission could be said to have ended in complete failure, but there was no other way - encountering such a strong Dragon Knight, anyone would have been defeated.

  The headquarters of the Imperial Capital's Whirlwind Mercenary Group, the group leader sat in his own courtyard, a basin was placed in front of him, yellow paper money was thrown into the flames in the basin, sitting beside, watching the burning flames, he felt very calm, those deceased comrades seemed to still be standing by his side, he gradually liked this feeling.

  "Whoosh!!!", a strange distortion appeared in the space not far in front, and then, a figure wearing a black tight suit emerged, kneeling on one knee, "Reporting to Captain, I've already checked Lin Chen as you asked me to".

  "Huh? Where is he now?" He casually took out a few pieces of paper money, tossed them into the raging flames, and gazed at the paper money being engulfed by the fire. The captain spoke up in a light tone.

  "Lin Chen is currently on his way to the Imperial Capital, but what's strange is that he's with Moka, the elder of the Apothecary Guild. He should arrive at the Imperial Capital in about four or five days," the black figure reported, still kneeling on one knee.

  "Oh? He'll be here in four or five days? The leader of the Mercenary Corps, Gale Force, had a hint of a smile on his face, looking very interested. "Alright, you go and arrange for someone to keep an eye out. As soon as he enters the Imperial City, come report back to me. A top-notch young pharmacist who also knows about this Ghost Realm legend... I'm curious to see what kind of youngster he is."

  "Yes! Captain!", nodded his head, the black shadow replied, and then the air was distorted again, this black figure quickly disappeared.

  "What about the spiritual realm? Where did this legend come from anyway? The six paths of reincarnation? Are there really angels of the divine path and demons of the demonic path in this world? Can doing good deeds really allow one to ascend to the divine path and become an angel or deity?" He muttered to himself, but even the captain couldn't be certain whether the legend of the spiritual realm was true or not.

  Lin Chen didn't know that because of a rumor from the ghost realm, before he even arrived at the Imperial Capital, there were already people waiting for him in the Imperial Capital, and they were even big shots who shook the empire.

  At this time, Lin Chen was accompanied by Aitrus to find the Alchemist Guild. Seeing Lin Chen return safely, Xia Lu secretly let out a sigh of relief and welcomed him with a joyful expression on her face, "You're fine, nothing happened."

  Hearing Xia Lu's words and seeing her worried expression, Lin Chen was secretly moved. Just as he was about to open his mouth to thank her, Xia Lu's next words made Lin Chen secretly roll his eyes.

  "That's great, you're fine, otherwise I'll have to find someone else to apprentice with...", a look of delight on her face, Xia Lu said with a sigh of relief as she looked at Lin Chen, safe and sound.
