Chapter 609: Chapter 609: A Man of the Dragon Country in Life, a Soul of the Dragon Country in Death

Cheng Yuan irritably flicked Xu Ke on the forehead. "If you want a Cultivation Technique, just say so! We’re brothers. You think I’d forget you when something good comes along?"

Xu Ke smiled wryly. "Why did I have to have the rare Thunder War Body? If my constitution were normal, Brother Yuan could just give me any old Cultivation Technique to practice! Who knows how long it’ll be before I find a Thunder Attribute Technique."

Cheng Yuan grinned. "You won’t have to wait that long. You’ll get one this year. In fact, you can have one right now."

Xu Ke was instantly thrilled, his voice trembling as he asked, "Brother Yuan, you... you’ve already found a Thunder Attribute Technique?"

Cheng Yuan nodded. "Yes. I found a very high-level Thunder Attribute Technique!"

"Brother Yuan, what are we waiting for? Hurry and give it to me! Don’t worry, I’ll cultivate with everything I have and become your right-hand man as soon as possible."

Cheng Yuan’s expression grew serious. "I can give you this Thunder Attribute Technique, but..."

Xu Ke’s face fell instantly. "Brother, my dearest brother, please, no ’buts’!"

Cheng Yuan said solemnly, "There are some things I must make clear to you. The technique I found for you is the *Five Thunders Divine Skill*, a top-tier Cultivation Technique in the Ancient Martial Realm. Once you reach Great Success, you can smoothly ascend to the rank of Martial Saint, or even higher! However, its Cultivation is extremely arduous. Starting from the Martial King realm, you must bathe in the Five Elements Divine Thunder! The process is incredibly perilous, and I can’t guarantee I can keep you completely safe."

But Xu Ke didn’t seem to care at all. "Brother Yuan, if it weren’t for you, I would’ve died several times over already! Opportunity and risk go hand in hand. I’m prepared to give it my all."

"Good! Then I’ll impart the *Five Thunders Divine Skill* to you!"

When it came to his most loyal follower, Cheng Yuan was far more generous, giving Xu Ke three full bottles of Elixirs.

Essence Enhancing Pills, Soul Refining Pills, and Essence Pills.

With the aid of these three bottles of Elixirs, Xu Ke’s foundation would undoubtedly become incredibly solid.

"Thank you, Brother Yuan!"

Xu Ke joyfully accepted the *Five Thunders Divine Skill* and began his practice, strictly following its instructions.

It had to be said that the Thunder War Body was extremely sensitive to the Thunder Attribute, making it highly compatible with the *Five Thunders Divine Skill*.

Xu Ke easily captured the free-floating Thunder Elements in the air.

Cheng Yuan turned to Scarface and said flatly, "Scarface, spit out the piece of Nakagawa Hisashi’s ear."

"Right." PTUI! PTUI!

Scarface spat out the mangled flesh of Nakagawa Hisashi’s ear.

Cheng Yuan began to channel the Celestial Mystical Technique, chanting an incantation.

"Celestial Witch above, grant me your divine might! Let the three souls and seven spirits leave the body and follow! By my will, be guided to the path of return!"

A wisp of black energy suddenly emerged from Cheng Yuan’s fingertip. Like a roaming dragon, the wisp drifted about before instantly locating Nakagawa Hisashi’s Residual Soul.

The others felt a sudden chill and shivered involuntarily, their eyes darting around with alarm and confusion.

But there was nothing to see.

The *Five Thunders Divine Skill* that Xu Ke was cultivating was a very orthodox Thunder Technique, and he had already managed to cultivate a sliver of pure Thunder Power.

Thunder Power was especially sensitive to such cold and sinister auras.

Jolted from his Cultivation, Xu Ke shouted, "What coward is hiding there? Stop skulking in the shadows! Dare to show yourself and fight me!"

Cheng Yuan said calmly, "Xu Ke, don’t panic. It’s just a wisp of the Ranger’s Residual Soul."

’A Residual Soul?’

Xu Ke froze.

Cheng Yuan patiently explained, "A person’s Divine Soul is extremely susceptible to fright. Each time a person is scared, a small part of their soul scatters. This is the origin of the old Dragon Country tradition of ’soul-calling’."

"I see."

As he spoke, Cheng Yuan raised a finger. The black energy coiled around Nakagawa Hisashi’s Residual Soul and surged into the piece of his mangled flesh.

The flesh began to squirm nonstop, as if it had come alive.

Soon, the flesh morphed into a miniature person. It bowed repeatedly to Cheng Yuan, babbling something.

Gao Qingyuan, Xu Ke, and the others couldn’t understand it, but Cheng Yuan could.

The little person was thanking Cheng Yuan for imbuing it with Spiritual Energy. It expressed its desire to acknowledge Cheng Yuan as its master and to find its original body, Nakagawa Hisashi.

Cheng Yuan formed another hand seal and chanted, "By the Celestial Witch’s blessing, be granted wings! Seek and find! Go!"

Cheng Yuan pointed a finger.

A pair of small, fleshy wings abruptly sprouted from the tiny figure’s back, and it fluttered into the air.

"Qingyuan, Xu Ke, you two clean up here. Scarface, you wanted revenge, didn’t you? Soon, you’ll kill that Ranger with your own two hands!"

"Yes, sir!"

Cheng Yuan looked at the miniature person and said flatly, "Take me to your main body, Nakagawa Hisashi."

"EEYA!"

The little creature cried out, its fleshy wings beating rapidly.

In a flash, its figure vanished from sight.

It was a part of Nakagawa Hisashi’s body and Divine Soul, and thus shared a mystical connection with its host.

Even from several kilometers away, it could easily locate its host.

Cheng Yuan activated his innate Cultivation Technique, and with a flash, he was keeping pace with the tiny creature.

Scarface, however, struggled to keep up and was about to be left behind.

Cheng Yuan casually tossed Scarface a Four Patterns Essence Enhancement Pill.

"Scarface, eat it."

"Thank you, Young Master!"

GULP. Without a moment’s hesitation, Scarface swallowed the Four Patterns Essence Enhancement Pill.

BOOM! BOOM!

An astonishing amount of Medicinal Power erupted, and Scarface’s aura began to skyrocket.

Scarface’s speed surged, and he could now easily keep up with the miniature creature.

When reviving Scarface, Cheng Yuan had used a drop of his own blood. Catalyzed by that blood, Scarface’s physical constitution had improved significantly, far surpassing that of an ordinary War Body.

If Scarface were to completely heal his latent injuries, his physical strength alone would be enough to defeat a Peak Martial Emperor.

The tiny creature led them on a weaving path, and soon, they arrived before a three-story, European-style building.

The creature pointed at the building and babbled.

Cheng Yuan understood. Its host, Nakagawa Hisashi, was inside. However, it didn’t dare enter, fearing it would be mercilessly reabsorbed by the main body.

Cheng Yuan scanned the area and noticed guards standing post at the building’s entrance.

On one side of the gate, a line of large, gilded characters was carved: Consulate of East Japan in Luocheng.

Cheng Yuan strode toward the gate. Seeing the hostile intent in his and Scarface’s approach, the guards quickly moved to block their path.

"Gentlemen, please present your work IDs."

"We don’t have any," Cheng Yuan said flatly.

The guard asked politely, "Then do you two have an appointment?"

Cheng Yuan answered truthfully, "No appointment."

"I’m very sorry, but this is the Consulate of East Japan in Luocheng. It is not open to the public at this time. Please make an appointment and return later."

Cheng Yuan couldn’t be bothered to waste words on the guard. He activated his Double Pupil and unleashed a Spiritual Shock.

The guard was hit instantly. His consciousness plunged into chaos, and as if Cheng Yuan and Scarface didn’t even exist, he returned to his post and resumed standing guard.

Cheng Yuan and Scarface brazenly entered the consulate.

A consulate staff member approached them, his face wreathed in smiles. "Are you two citizens of East Japan? How may the consulate assist you?"

Cheng Yuan snorted. "I’m no vile Japanese. I, Cheng Yuan, was born a man of the Dragon Country and will die a soul of the Dragon Country! Now, take me to Nakagawa Hisashi!"
