Free Web NovelChapter 568: Chapter 380: Black Dragon State
Wang Ye closed the panel,
gently exploring for a moment.
He realized that his body seemed to have undergone some special change.
Just like a few days ago when his bones evolved into diamond.
Inside his body, a special organ and gland emerged, able to secrete a hormone as black as ink that instantly surged throughout his entire body,
and this hormone had a function similar to adrenaline, promoting the breakdown of fatty acids and the release of glucose to provide energy, rapidly increasing heart rate and blood pressure.
Most people, when facing danger or extreme anger, will secrete a large amount of adrenaline, temporarily enhancing the contraction ability of cardiac cells and lowering nerve sensitivity, which is commonly known as boosting combat power.
After Wang Ye understood the function of this organ, he realized that this must be the source of the so-called Black Dragon State,
The Black Dragon State could not appear out of nowhere,
so the system needed to modify his body,
to add a special organ that could achieve an "attack agility increase by fifty percent, defense reduction by fifty percent" effect, similar to a game buff.
"Surely each trait of the system has a real-world source, previous traits like speed increase by ten percent must have caused some invisible evolution in my body."
Wang Ye muttered softly. As his realm grew higher, he gradually developed an analytical mindset towards everything,
Since he exists in the real world, it’s impossible for things against regular norms to occur,
and most of the abnormalities he once thought were just because he couldn’t infer inner principles due to his lack of cognition.
Wang Ye tried stimulating this strange gland, immediately, a small amount of Black Dragon Hormone was secreted, flowing to other organs and muscles.
Buzz——
His heart suddenly shocked, and simultaneously, the muscles around the core seemed to be heavily compressed by something, surfacing a numb swelling sensation.
Wang Ye hurriedly glanced at his abdomen and waist, only to discover that the numb swollen area was showing black scales. These scales were densely arranged around his abdomen, looking rather eerie and terrifying. Anyone with trypophobia would be scared into darkness upon seeing this scene. These scales made him look like some sort of deep-sea creature or cold-blooded animal.
He pressed these scales with his hand,
though the scales appeared hard, they felt very soft to the touch,
as for defense power, it was far inferior to his original carbon acetylene keratin layer.
This is probably the main reason why defense power directly decreases by fifty percent when the Black Dragon State is activated.
"This hormone actually directly changes my body shape..."
Wang Ye immediately thought of another evolved bodily function, fermentation metabolism. Fermentation metabolism allows cells to devour large quantities of nutrients briefly, making muscles rapidly expand to several times their size.
The function of the Black Dragon Gland can be said to be quite similar, except fermentation metabolism considerably increases strength defense while decreasing agility significantly,
whereas the Black Dragon Gland nearly reverses it, increasing strength agility dramatically while reducing defense substantially.
After Wang Ye tested the function of the Black Dragon Gland, he roughly understood the functions of this new organ. He continued stimulating the gland, secreting more Black Dragon Hormone, immediately, a large amount of Black Dragon Hormone surged throughout his body, like a black light sweeping over, his skin was instantly completely covered by a dense layer of black scales.
The scales fit like a living entity on his knotted muscular contours, and when he moved his limbs, the scales emitted a subtle buzzing sound while slightly opening and closing, revealing the magma-like boiling energy veins below. His shoulders then swelled with numerous black scales, forming into shapes resembling shoulder pads that look like fierce dragon head sculptures.
At the chest cavity, three-tier composite protective plates adopt bionic thoracic structure, slightly undulate with breathing rhythms, the heart position due to needing to absorb external thermal energy and light energy thus embedded dark red energy core, hexagonal crystal lattice surface floats liquid-metal-like gloss.
His face was wrapped by a facemask formed by condensed scales, the perception-serving eyes covered by dark red crystals, staggered honeycomb structure, crimson light patterns circulate between hexagonal crystal lattices, akin to the awakened vertical pupils of an abyss dragon, from the outside, can only be seen the intimidating dark red pupils and black vertical pupils, yet from the inside, the external scene is clearly visible, making Wang Ye marvel at the wonder of this armor structure. And the sides of his temples seemed to be on the verge of growing dragon horns, with slight protrusions.
His fingers and toes also instantly morphed into vicious sharp claws like dragon claws, from just the limbs, there’s no difference from the legendary "dragon" anymore. Only his "dragon" looks more like a Western demon dragon rather than the traditional Chinese dragon.
Meanwhile, the Black Dragon Hormone also modified his muscle composition,
Changing his muscles to high density explosive muscles rather than endurance muscles.
This caused his muscle cross-section to narrow greatly,
If targeted for attack, there wouldn’t be a sufficient buffer layer to withstand the attack.
But the advantage is obvious, explosiveness and agility became superior,
external air resistance impact reduced extremely, internal explosive muscles better facilitate full energy release within muscles in a short duration.
