All things originate from fire and are born from steel.
Although the truth of the world has been forgotten by most people, there are still some knowledgeable people who know the original origin of this world.
The flames burning in the chaos shaped the concept of existence, and the endless and diverse world was born. The ashes after the chaos was burned out were the steel of origin, which gave birth to all life.
In ancient times, people believed that life was the power of steel, and the body was also forged by 'steel'.
Therefore, the power of steel is contained in the body of every living being. The stronger the innate vitality and the larger the creature, the more 'steel' it contains in the body, and the more powerful it is. For example, dragons, as the most innately powerful beings, One, there is no doubt that the power of steel in their bodies is the most.
In turn, the power of steel can be fed back to the body, making it tougher.
Through rituals, prayers, inspiration from forerunners, stimulation of life and death, and other methods, human ancestors in ancient times successfully awakened the power of steel in their bodies and became a force that was active, capable of being mastered, and exercised, and this is The original origin of the warrior profession.
Theoretically speaking, no matter how weak a person is, it is possible to awaken the power, but if he is too weak, he will die in the process of awakening, so a warrior must be a person with a strong body and powerful strength.
In ancient times, it was a long and meaningless task to improve strength solely through hard work and exercise. For the vast majority of warriors, they had always hunted monsters, bathed in their blood, and devoured their bodies. , using this most barbaric and ancient method to plunder the power from other living beings.
A true warrior will hunt the most powerful beasts, gain the most powerful power, and create his own legend.
That is - dragon.
Legend has it that bathing in the blood of a dragon can make a warrior invulnerable and give him a long life.
This is of course not a lie, but the exact fact. Killing a dragon and plundering its life force will naturally allow a warrior to make great progress, gain far greater physical strength and endurance than other equals, and gain a longer life.
Of course, this is also the most difficult move. Among a million warriors, not one may be able to do it. The toughness of the dragon scale armor is comparable to the most powerful magic armor, and the sharpness of the minions is almost indestructible. Their strong vitality allows them to fight back even when they are fatally injured. Coupled with the vital attribute of being able to fly flexibly, the difficulty of slaying a dragon is magnified several times.
Dragon slaying has always been the pinnacle of legends. It is the favorite thing of bards to sing about, and it is also the most talked about thing among the people. This is enough to show the difficulty of slaying dragons. Generally speaking, it takes at least 100 hours to kill a dragon. Four people cooperate and multiple professions cooperate to weaken the power of the dragon while strengthening their own abilities. After a long battle, they can kill these terrifying behemoths.
Joshua naturally knows this - because this is the official explanation of the upgrade and the profession of warrior in the previous life game. In the world view of the entire continent of strife, killing can gain power, and slaughter can gain power. Dragons have additional benefits.
Different dragon species have different effects on their blood, and the dragon blood of the astral dragon and the original dragon is also quite different, but just in front of Joshua, the blood of the northern white dragon he killed... The dragon's blood can improve part of his physical fitness and strengthen his skin and muscle strength, which is equivalent to a piece of armor. In addition, the warrior can also gain at least a medium level of resistance to ice attributes.
In the gradually collapsing dragon's nest, Joshua grabbed the still-beating dragon's heart with one hand. Without any hesitation, he simply tore it open. Suddenly, the cold blue blood flowed into the powerful dragon's heart. It spurted out under the pressure, covering his whole body.
Not all dragon blood can increase physical fitness. For golden warriors like Joshua, even if the blood of low-level dragons is used as water to drink, it is nothing more than increasing some physical endurance. Only gold and even more Only high-grade dragon blood has a certain effect.
This giant dragon is the largest, strongest and most powerful of all dragons. As long as it is bathed in the most essential blood from its heart, other dragon blood will be useless.
The cold blue liquid does not have any fishy smell, but has a cool breath like ice. The temperature is obviously below zero, but the uncondensed blood contains a lot of magic and life force. Joshua stood on the dragon In front of his heart, he closed his eyes and enjoyed the dragon's blood that was constantly spurting out. At the same time, he was also running the steel armor breathing method, absorbing the power contained in it.
Breathing is a secret method gradually explored by ancient human sages. It can strengthen warriors' use of energy in the world, hone their bodies, and mobilize hidden powers. This allows many people who were not originally physically strong to gradually become physically stronger. Be strong, and then truly awaken your fighting spirit, instead of dying on the way to the trial. Running it at this time can speed up the speed at which Joshua absorbs the power of dragon blood, and can also quickly increase the level of this breathing method.
The dragon's nest is collapsing faster and faster. Originally, only some fragments of ice fell, but now the entire ice wall has collapsed. As the pillars in the upper part of the dragon's nest collapsed, the entire first half of the dragon's nest collapsed. The first floor has been reduced to ruins, thus accelerating the collapse of the second floor.
At this time, the warrior's skin covered by the dragon's blood and the muscles underneath became stronger as the cool breath gradually transmitted. As the dragon's blood continued to flow, the cool breath became colder and gradually penetrated into the bones. It seemed to freeze the warrior's body completely.
This is a side effect of bathing in dragon blood. If you absorb a large amount of external power at the same time, you will be eroded by this power. In his previous life, Joshua was bathed in the blood of a fire dragon. What he felt at that time was that his whole body seemed to be burning. Pain.
But this side effect is completely irrelevant. How could a warrior who can slay a dragon be unable to resist the power of his defeated general? So as the battle energy circulated in Joshua's body, the bone-chilling aura gradually faded away, and instead transformed into a fiery vitality. It surged through the muscles, bones, and joints of the warrior's body, rapidly lifting everything. Physical fitness and flexibility of the area.
This feeling is like wearing a weightless invisible armor. It does not affect the sensitivity, but also greatly enhances the flexibility of the whole body. In addition, the strength is also increased a lot.
"It feels good."
Realizing that the blood in Long's heart had gradually dried up, Joshua opened his eyes. At the same time, a large piece of sharp ice fell from the dome above his head and hit him, but it was like a wave hitting a rock. Got smashed to pieces.
At this time, the warrior's whole body was covered with light blue magic crystals, which were impurities in the dragon's blood that could not be absorbed, but they could also be used as ordinary magic crystals.
Joshua shook his body, and a carefully controlled shock swept through his body. Suddenly all the crystals turned into powder, and then dissolved into pure magic power and returned to the world.
"The enhancement is quite obvious. This giant dragon is not bad. If it were outside, it could fly as it pleased and might be able to hold on longer. I can't pull it down to the ground and hit it."
He smiled and nodded. Because his strength had become stronger, Joshua was in a good mood. He didn't care about the dragon's nest that was about to collapse completely. Instead, he opened the long-lost system character card panel.
He looked at his character card.

"Unknown occupation?"
Seeing this, Joshua couldn't help but frown.
At this moment, the dragon's nest completely collapsed, and with a huge roar, the incoming cold ice completely submerged the warrior and everything around him.
