Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 2489: Chapter 2488: Lin Dong’s Attribute Constitution?

Fire energy entered Ye Linglong’s body, suddenly the light grew stronger, a wave of scorching energy surged like a tide, rushing straight toward Ye Linglong.

She was startled, but then calmed down, quickly directing this force into the center of her Dantian.

To her surprise, not only did the fire energy not harm her in the slightest, but it was gently absorbed by her skin, transforming into a Warm Flow, slowly coursing through her meridians and ultimately converging in her Dantian.

"Is this... a success? I can absorb fire energy!!" Ye Linglong suddenly opened her eyes, a gleam of surprise shining in them.

She could clearly feel the presence of a new power within her, a power belonging to the flames, hot and pure, as if her body was made for this flame.

"Turns out, I possess a fire attribute physique!" Ye Linglong’s heart surged with excitement, this discovery not only provided her with a new understanding of her capabilities but also revealed endless possibilities for the future.

She knew well that in this Extraterrestrial Battlefield, those with Five Elements Physique often harness extraordinary powers, enabling faster cultivation than others.

However, Ye Linglong was not satisfied with merely this; she pondered secretly, "If I can absorb two types of energy simultaneously, that would be a dual-attribute physique... Could I possibly try absorbing energies from the other four elements?"

She was curious and eager to know whether she had a dual-attribute physique, or even a three-attribute physique?

But now, she had no chance to test it.

Because here in the Northern Desert, she can only discern if she has a fire attribute physique.

The Demon Beasts and Herbs here are all fire attribute. The other four types of Five Elements Energy can only be obtained in the other four places.

Seeing Ye Linglong successfully absorb the fire energy, the members of the Dragon Group all looked at her with envy and joy.

"Congratulations, Captain Ye, for absorbing the fire energy!"

"Captain Ye, it seems your strength will rapidly increase in this Extraterrestrial Battlefield!"

"Captain Ye at least has a singular fire attribute physique; I heard there’s a non-Five Elements Physique, which means it’s none of the Five Elements Physiques. It cannot absorb any Five Elements Energy. It’s the harshest, representing the smallest gains from cultivation in the Extraterrestrial Battlefield."

"I’m very afraid of being that kind of physique; that would be terrible."

"..."

At the moment, with her absorption of that fire energy, Ye Linglong’s breath became deeper, her strength enhanced significantly.

Ye Linglong turned around, looking at the elite members of the Dragon Group, her eyes sparkling with inspiring light.

"Everyone, do not underestimate yourselves, believe that you possess a physique within the Five Elements Attributes!"

The Dragon Group members all nodded, their eyes burning with fighting spirit.

Lin Dong at the moment took out the map and started examining it.

He realized that the Northern Desert of this Extraterrestrial Battlefield is indeed vast; to traverse this boundless desert and reach the Green Wood Forest in the Central Region is not a journey of just a day or two.

The distance is as much as thirty thousand kilometers!

Moreover, these thirty thousand kilometers are harsh environments, one cannot consistently fly.

Often, walking is necessary!

"To reach the Central Region, given our current speed, we would need at least ten days!" Lin Dong told everyone.

"These ten days are just right for you guys to train. If you encounter Demon Beasts below the Demon King, then you guys shall slaughter them. Whoever slaughters a Demon Beast may absorb its fire energy."

"Of course, if it turns out you are not of a fire attribute, then future Demon Beast encounters shall leave you the opportunity to others."

"If you encounter the Demon King or beasts above that level, I shall personally take action."

"And such is the arrangement. Do you have any objections?"

Everyone shook their head, responding, "No objections!"

"Alright, then let’s continue!" Lin Dong put away the map and led everyone onward.

Under the roasting sun, it seemed every inch of land emitted heat waves capable of melting iron.

Between heaven and earth, only the wind carrying sand grains and the occasional roar of a distant Demon Beast broke the deadly silence of the scorching heat.

Lin Dong exerted his Internal Qi, forming a protective shield against the heat. He could have covered everyone with it, but he chose not to. Instead, he let the Dragon Group members use their Inner Qi to resist the heat.

This was indeed one of their trials. Since they came to train, they couldn’t depend on Lin Dong for everything.

Dragon Group members too employed their Inner Qi, creating heat-resistant shields to fend off the heat.

Everyone’s gaze was steady, their steps firm, trudging diligently through what seemed like an endless hell.

In the outer world, their advance speed could easily reach over a hundred kilometers per hour.

But here, while fending off heat and braving harsh environments with frequent sandstorms and other incidents, their speed was directly halved.

Every Dragon Group member was a carefully selected elite by the country, yet in such environments, they appeared exceptionally fatigued, like monks on a pilgrimage, persistently pressing forward with strong resolve.

After several hours of arduous journey, when everyone thought they could take a short rest, a wave of heat far exceeding its surroundings suddenly surged from behind a sand dune.

Accompanied by a deafening roar, a massive Demon Beast leapt into everyone’s view.

This Demon Beast bore bright red scales, eyes fierce as torches, encircled by fierce flames.

"Everyone be cautious, this is a Three-Star Demon King level existence—the Crimson Flame Devil Lizard."

Lin Dong quickly assessed the Demon Beast’s power, simultaneously reminding everyone to remain vigilant.

At the level of Demon King beasts, comparable to human Earth Realm martial artists, they indeed posed a challenge beyond the Dragon Group members’ capabilities.

Moreover, a Three-Star Demon King!

This Demon King naturally required Lin Dong to tackle!

At this point, Lin Dong’s figure darted, like a phantom moving through the sea of sand, heading straight toward the Crimson Flame Devil Lizard.

He was surrounded by an unusual aura.

It was the Sword Intent he honed through cultivation, now enveloped by a blaze, forming a unique Fire Sword Intent.

The Crimson Flame Devil Lizard roared lowly, its surrounding flames growing ever stronger; it obviously sensed the unsettling energy from Lin Dong’s presence.

Nevertheless, in facing this impending threat, it did not shrink back, rather it became more determined to fight, prepared to battle the uninvited guest to the death.

Lin Dong’s eyes slightly closed, then suddenly opened, a fire-like glow dancing within.

He casually reached out to grasp the air, conjuring a Qi Sword.

The blade was instantaneously enveloped by a layer of scorching flames, the sword tip pointed directly at the Crimson Flame Devil Lizard.

At this moment, it seemed the surrounding air froze, all sound swallowed by the impending battle.

"Sword follows heart’s movement, intent born of fire!" Lin Dong shouted lowly, his figure transforming into a flame-like stream of light, instantly arriving in front of the Crimson Flame Devil Lizard.

The Long Sword in his hand, as if imbued with life, traced a brilliant trajectory in the air, targeting the beast’s vital points.

The Crimson Flame Devil Lizard roared as it swung its front claws, attempting to block this deadly strike, yet Lin Dong’s Fire Sword Intent was not something it could easily resist.

In a flash of Sword Light, the Crimson Flame Devil Lizard’s front claws were effortlessly severed, fresh blood and flames intertwined, splattering onto the scorching sand.

Nonetheless, Lin Dong didn’t pause; leveraging the remaining force from that strike, his figure accelerated again, the Long Sword carrying world-shattering strength, thrusting directly into the Crimson Flame Devil Lizard’s heart.

At that instant, Lin Dong seemed to merge as one with the sword, the Fire Sword Intent reaching unprecedented heights.

"Slay!" Lin Dong shouted, as the Long Sword finally pierced the Crimson Flame Devil Lizard’s chest, firmly pinning its massive body to the ground.

The Crimson Flame Devil Lizard let out one last sorrowful wail, then its body began collapsing and disintegrating, turning into skyful flames and sand particles, ultimately dissipating under the scorching Northern Desert sun.

The battle ended, the Dragon Group members gathered around, their eyes filled with admiration and awe toward Lin Dong.

"This is the strength of a Heavenly Realm Martial Artist? One sword easily slaughtered a Three-Star Demon Beast!"

Meanwhile, Lin Dong’s gaze fixed on the fire energy rising slowly from the Crimson Flame Devil Lizard’s body.

It was a pure and potent energy, seemingly the ultimate refinement of flame power by nature.

Lin Dong took a deep breath, slowly extended his palm, and that ball of fire energy was drawn as if by invisible force, gently merging into his palm.

A warm and scorching power surged in his body immediately, he astonishingly discovered he could effortlessly absorb this fire energy, resulting in a notable enhancement of his fire-attributed spirit power.

"Looks like I also possess a fire attribute physique." Lin Dong thought to himself, "I just wonder, can I absorb the other four Five Elements energies?"

He too was curious now, whether he had a singular attribute Five Elements Physique or a multi-attribute Five Elements Physique.
