Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 403 - 256: Ruins Open, Team Assembles_1

In the past month, Chen Dalong had made tremendous progress.

On one hand, he received full support from Yang City, which invested a considerable amount of resources in this strongest warrior of theirs.

On the other hand, he had taken on tasks assigned by the Mutated Parrot, from which he also acquired a good number of Spirit Fruit.

More importantly, through the accumulation of completed tasks, he gathered enough contributions to exchange for a Third Order Evolution Fruit.

Ultimately, a week ago, he successfully broke through to the Fourth Order.

As the first Fourth Order strongman in Yang City, his strength would at least rank within the top 50 nationwide.

One must know that Chen Dalong became an evolutionist a full five months after the first batch of superhumans.

This was a clear case of the later comer outstripping the early starters; in the eyes of others, his talent was definitely frighteningly high.

Whereas people like Pei Jin and Wang Feng, even though they also received a skew of resources, only managed to reach Mid Stage Third Order, still some distance from the latter stages.

In this situation, Chen Dalong, as the strongest warrior, naturally received even more attention.

For the exploration task into the Ancient Ruins, both Bai Yinghui and Liu Zaoxin had spoken with him numerous times, placing high hopes upon him.

But the greater the expectations, the more pressure Chen Dalong felt, because he knew all too well what his own limits were.

He had originally planned to seek guidance from the Parrot Messenger tonight on what to do next, but he hadn’t expected to receive such a huge surprise.

The extent to which one could become powerful after being bestowed with Dragon King Power had already been proven.

The videos of the Dragon Hall’s emissaries battling the European Giant Dragon were still hot on the internet!

After all, it was unheard of for a Fourth Order to fight and defeat a Sixth Order, bridging a gap of two Big Realms; such an event could not normally occur.

So those who watched these videos did not just marvel at the strength of these emissaries from Dragon Hall.

They were astonished by the Dragon King’s miraculous methods.

Even many comments were along the lines of: If I were bestowed with Dragon King Power, I could tear apart a giant dragon with my own hands.

And now, such an event was about to happen to him; how could Chen Dalong not be excited?

He looked at the text message again carefully, mainly at the mysterious and complex pattern attached to the end of the message.

According to the description given by the Parrot Messenger, by drawing this pattern on the soil and worshipping in the direction of Sunset Valley, he would be granted the power of the Dragon King.

Of course, he did not immediately start drawing the pattern but first surveyed his surroundings, relying on his Fourth Order sharp senses. If anyone was watching him, it would be impossible not to be detected.

After sensing around in a circle and confirming there was no one nearby, he moved to a corner between the courtyard wall and the house.

This was a blind spot in the field of view; even if there were cameras nearby, as long as he squatted in this position, he would be covered by the house and the wall.

He began clearing the weeds, and after creating an area of about one square meter, he started to draw the pattern.

It was a dragon-shaped pattern, embellished with numerous intricate designs around it.

Although complex, Chen Dalong was a Fourth Order evolutionist with a very precise control over his body, making it not difficult to replicate a pattern perfectly.

Without using any tools, he used his fingers to rapidly draw on the ground, with no hesitation in each stroke, and quickly, the image of a giant dragon emerged vividly before him.

Ten minutes later, the pattern was complete. He tiptoed to the spot, then deeply bowed three times in the direction of Sunset Valley.

As the ritual concluded, Chen Dalong felt as if something had touched his forehead, followed by a scorching heat that spread throughout his body.

At that moment, he felt his physical strength climbing continuously, even to the point where he had the illusion that he could shatter mountains with a single punch.

This process did not last long, ending after just ten seconds.

Ye Feng quietly withdrew the tree root that had touched the other’s forehead back underground,

Chen Dalong quickly stood up, trying to sense his new level of strength, but with just a slight exertion, his hands plunged into the soil – a manifestation of power that was somewhat uncontrollable due to its sudden enhancement.

"This power feels so strong," Chen Dalong said excitedly.

After briefly adjusting, he quickly returned to the villa, then went down to the training room in the basement.

As the surge in his power was immense, he wasn’t quite clear on his current level, so he had to conduct a test.

However, at his realm, ordinary instruments were no longer able to accurately measure his strength.

Nonetheless, there’s always a solution to be found; he swiftly moved to a weapon rack that held shields.

These shields were forged from different grades of alloys, and he quickly overlooked the ones in front, his gaze settling on the second-to-last shield.

This shield was made from a fourth generation special alloy, its defensive power comparable to that of Fourth Order Mutated Creatures.

The current Power Armors were crafted from this kind of special alloy.

He took down the shield and placed it against a metal wall designed for strength testing.

He punched it expectantly.
