Chapter 601 The Mark of the Holy Dragon
In the Dragon Pool, a figure sat quietly cross-legged, his whole body covered in golden liquid, and his figure was quite bloated.
"It's been a whole day, and there's still no sign of it ending."
Long Hai looked at Ye Ru, whose face was pale, and after a moment, slowly said.
Logically speaking, activating the dragon power in the Dragon Tempering Pool shouldn't take that long, but right now it's making him a little uneasy.
"Yes, logically it shouldn't take that long at all, so what's going on?"
The Dragon King of the East Sea was also puzzled. He sensed that Ye Ru's vitality was rising steadily, but it showed no signs of stopping.
If it were an ordinary dragon, it would probably have already completed it.
"Don't worry, if anything goes wrong, I'll take action immediately."
The Dragon King of the East Sea patted Long Hai on the shoulder. He knew that the Dragon Lord of the past had treated him well, and Long Hai cared a lot about Ye Ru.
"Yes, thank you, Dragon King."
The two looked in that direction again, and time passed by.
After Ye Ru's body was covered in golden liquid, the dragon balls in his hands began to melt, and wisps of wind and thunder power began to spread outwards.
Finally, at a certain moment, Ye Ru, whose eyes were tightly closed, suddenly opened them, and a golden, cold light shot out towards him as if it were a tangible object.
At the same time, Ye Ru's bloated body quickly shrank and eventually returned to a normal human form. A very obscure mark gradually appeared between his eyebrows, and a pair of dragon horns grew on his forehead.
"Roar!"
With a roar, a sharp sonic wave erupted from Ye Ru's mouth, causing the surrounding buildings to tremble. Then, Ye Ru stomped his foot, his figure bursting through the air, and finally, his body rapidly expanded, transforming into a golden dragon.
"My God... the Holy Dragon Mark?"
Upon seeing the light between Ye Ru's brows, the Dragon King of the East Sea's pupils contracted, and a hint of solemnity appeared on his face.
"The Mark of the Holy Dragon?"
Long Hai's eyes widened in shock.
"You should know that the Holy Dragon Mark can only be activated when the bloodline is at its purest. Your Dragon Lord also had the Holy Dragon Mark between his eyebrows back then."
The Dragon King of the East Sea said in a deep voice, his face serious. He knew better than anyone what the appearance of the Holy Dragon Mark signified.
"You mean..."
Long Hai frowned and asked tentatively.
"Yes, the Holy War is about to begin, a Holy War against the demon race. We dragons are different from other races. We have an extremely keen sense of danger. Once the Holy Dragon Mark appears, it will signify that a great upheaval is about to begin."
The Dragon King of the East Sea nodded, and then said:
"I'll keep watch here. You send someone to inform the other three sea dragon clans to keep a close watch on them. Any demons that enter the sea areas of our four clans shall be killed without exception!"
Knowing the importance of this matter, Long Hai suddenly clasped his hands in a fist salute and said:
"Yes!"
Watching the soaring golden dragon, the Dragon King of the East Sea rubbed his temples, then sighed and said:
"I really don't know whether to call you a lucky star or a jinx."
After circling in the sky for a while, the golden dragon quickly transformed into human form and then touched the ground with its toes.
Stretching, Ye Ru heard a crackling sound coming from his body. Then, he suddenly swung his fist, and an invisible air cannon shot forward.
As the air cannon fired, a bolt of wind and lightning suddenly swept into the wall, smashing a large hole in it.
"Where is Senior Longhai?"
Feeling the powerful force within him, Ye Ru couldn't help but smack his lips. Seeing that Long Hai wasn't there, he couldn't help but say something.
"A holy war is likely on the horizon. I've instructed him to send someone to inform the other dragon clans and warn them to be on high alert."
"The Dragon King of the East Sea said in a deep voice."
"A holy war is coming? Against the demon race?"
"Correct."
"How could it be so fast? Not even a hundred years have passed yet."
Ye Ru's heart skipped a beat, and his face became more serious.
"A hundred years have not passed, but you have activated the dragon power within you, and the Holy Dragon Mark has appeared. The appearance of the Holy Dragon Mark signifies that the Holy War is about to begin."
The Dragon King of the East Sea said with a smile, but everyone could see the pressure in his heart. Every holy war would be accompanied by the death of many people and would also severely damage the vitality of the four races.
Their dragon bloodline was already scarce, and after a holy war, their dragon race suffered the most casualties.
When will the holy war likely begin?
Ye Ru pondered for a moment, then said.
"Maybe one year, maybe two years, but at most no more than three years."
"The Dragon King of the East Sea said slowly."
That means we still have time.
Looking into the distance, Ye Ru clenched his fists. Within these three years, he had to elevate his literary rank to the level of a Great Confucian Scholar.
"Alright, there's still time. You've successfully activated the dragon power within you. Let's go."
Then, the Dragon King of the East Sea glanced at the somewhat dim-colored Dragon Tempering Pool, a look of shock flashing across his eyes, but it was fleeting.
After leaving Dragon Pool, Ye Ru stayed there briefly before preparing to return.
The imperial examination for the title of Juren is about to begin, and I will be heading to the capital to participate.
"You're leaving already?"
The Dragon King of the East Sea sat in the main hall. When he heard that Ye Ru was preparing to leave, he frowned with some doubt and said.
"Yes, thank you for your hospitality these past few days, Dragon King. As you said, the Holy War is imminent, and the demon race will not give us much time. So I want to obtain the title of Juren (a scholar who passed the imperial examination) as soon as possible. That way, if the demon race invades, I will have the strength to fight back."
Ye Ru bowed to the Dragon King of the East Sea and said in a deep voice.
"Very well, a man's ambition lies in all directions. My East Sea Dragon Palace has nothing left to help you improve your strength. When you return, please give my regards to Minister Wen and tell them about this matter, so that they can be on high alert."
"Otherwise, if the demon race attacks the human race with overwhelming force, the team you hastily assembled will simply not be enough to fight them."
The Dragon King of the East Sea nodded and gave instructions.
"Yes, thank you very much, Dragon King of the East Sea."
After bowing to the Dragon King of the East Sea once more, Ye Ru left the Dragon Palace.
"We can't delay any longer; we must hurry back and report to Minister Wen."
After thinking for a moment, Ye Ru suddenly spread his wings and then, with a tremor, transformed into a streak of light and sped away into the distance.
Flying at full speed, Ye Ru arrived in the capital and headed straight for the Prime Minister's residence.
"Ye Ru? You're back?"
Wen Xiang was reading when he saw Ye Ru appear in his courtyard. He was taken aback and said...
"Yes, Minister Moon, I have some bad news for you."
Ye Ru looked very serious, which made Wen Xiang put down his book and look at him with a puzzled expression.
"what's up?"
"A holy war may be about to begin."
