X-Dragon Era-Chapter 531 - s 382-384: Formidable Enemy Attacks_4

A Diamond One-Star Expert, along with a Diamond Two-Star Expert, could barely contend with a Diamond Three-Star Expert. However, once the opponent had the strength of a Four-Star, they would surely be defeated without a doubt!

However, what they did not expect was that after a month had passed, they still hadn't seen any counterattack from the Dragon Gate Gang. Shoushan City had officially become the territory of the Crazy Dragon Gang! At this point, even if Dragon Gate were to suddenly produce a Diamond Nine-Star Expert, it would be of no use unless they wanted to be hunted by the entire world. Otherwise, they could only accept this fact.

After successfully occupying Shoushan, the Crazy Dragon Gang immediately carried out reforms. The tax rate was restored to 20%, and it was a two-way tariff. For a while... the city's residents, accustomed to Dragon Gate's 10% one-way tariff, were full of complaints. Faced with the iron-fisted rule of the Crazy Dragon Gang, everyone dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out. Who could defy someone with a stronger fist?

Without having ever enjoyed blessings, one would never know what suffering is. Having gotten used to Dragon Gate's 10% one-way tariff, now suddenly reverting back to a 20% two-way tariff, everyone was at a loss. Although no one dared to protest, they all harbored a secret hope for Dragon Gate to return soon, firmly believing that Dragon Gate would not simply vanish.

As time passed by day by day, one month went by, then two, but Dragon Gate showed no reaction whatsoever, as if it had never existed in this world before.

Yet, the more time that passed, the more people missed it. Even though nothing was said openly, in reality, every household had the Dragon Gate's flag hung in their rooms, yearning for Dragon Gate's swift return!

The Dragon Gate's flag was very distinctive: it featured two opposing axes, whose handles were gateposts and whose blade bodies served as the crossbar of the gate. Wrapped around the two gateposts were giant dragons, and the blade bodies were carved with profound, mysterious patterns, along with complex characters!

In the blink of an eye, Xin Yun and the others had been in closed-door cultivation for three months now. At this moment... inside the cultivation chamber, vapors swirled around Xin Yun, and his body continuously exuded copious amounts of sweat. After 81 days of refining, everything was finally about to be completed!

Finally, Xin Yun's body suddenly expanded and then rapidly contracted. At the same time, an indescribable azure blue light radiated from his body, illuminating the small secret chamber in every slightest detail!

"I've done it!" Opening his eyes suddenly, Xin Yun exclaimed excitedly. After three months of effort, Xin Yun had finally succeeded in combining the Nine Dragons into One, reaching the Great Perfection Realm of Gold Ten Stars. Now... as long as he comprehended the mysteries of the Crystal Stage, he could officially step into the realm of the Crystal Stage!

For Yi Luo Xiang, Yan Qingying, and Ming Xuan, reaching Gold Ten Stars was just the beginning. What came next was crucial: whether they could have an epiphany depended on their experience, accumulation, luck, and wisdom. It would take a long time to successfully comprehend the mysteries of the new realm!

But Xin Yun, after all, had lived through one more life. He was very clear about the process of transforming liquid energy into solid energy. What he needed to do now was simply apply the same principles in reverse.

Compressing energy into a solid form was not the same as compressing water into a solid. This was a difficult concept to grasp, and many intelligent people had been stuck here, perpetually pondering how to compress liquid into a solid, which was fundamentally impossible.

The compression of energy couldn't rely on physical squeezing but required a special arrangement to achieve a change in quality, not just a simple increase in density.

To put it simply, carbon atoms can form ordinary carbon or diamonds, which are clearly different. Ultimately, the difference lies in the arrangement of molecules; at the root, both are condensations of carbon atoms.

Similarly, to transform Water Series Origin Energy into a solid state, it's not enough to simply compress the energy. Water cannot be compressed into a solid state. Instead, a special method of arrangement is required to achieve a qualitative change.

As for arranging fire, Xin Yun was extremely clear, having gone through it in his past life. However, he had no experience with water, only an understanding of the principle.

Nevertheless, Xin Yun knew the adage that water and fire were incompatible. Therefore... Xin Yun arranged the arrays in reverse order according to the fire array positions, attempting to conquer the difficulty!

Many things in the world are quite coincidental. Xin Yun's simple idea proved remarkably effective. A single attempt proved successful. In fact... fire and light, dark and other completely opposite energies, their arrangement sequences are indeed the reverse of each other.

Since it was effective, Xin Yun's subsequent work was made easier. It didn't require too much time. He only needed to arrange the energy within the Dragon Ball, the Giant Dragon's body, in certain positions. Everything became straightforward. In less than a week, Xin Yun completely transformed the energy within his body into a crystal-like solid state!

At this point, Xin Yun was not yet a true Crystal Stage expert. Although his attack power was already on par with a Crystal Stage expert, he had not yet comprehended the combat techniques.

If Xin Yun's previous energy was like gasoline, then his current energy was akin to gunpowder. Although both could produce tremendous kinetic energy, gunpowder possessed new characteristics, allowing for the emergence of new attack modes! All these awaited his adaptation and discovery.
