Sequence Ocean Survival: Awakening God-Tier Sequences at the Start

Chapter 246 Are you crazy?! Raising this kid requires ten thousand times the resources?

That terrifying pressure, enough to crush even a peak level ten expert, was as fragile as paper before his dark gold demon god body.

One step, two steps, three steps...

He took another step.

Although it's no longer that kind of crazy sprint, every step is as steady as Mount Tai, carrying an overbearing power that can change the world.

"Good! Good! Good!!"

Inside the bronze hall, after a brief moment of shock, Elder Xingtian was replaced by an almost manic ecstasy.

He paced back and forth excitedly in the main hall, his face flushed red.

"Hahaha! I'm putting my words on the table!"

"This disciple! I'm taking him as my disciple!!"

"If anyone dares to take it from me, I'll go dance on their ancestral grave!"

Elder Xingtian's eyes gleamed with greed as he looked at Lu Sheng as if he were an uncut, exquisite piece of jade. "A true dragon! This is a living true dragon! With proper training, what 'Dao Yi'? What tenth-level extreme realm? They're all trash in front of this kid!"

"Old Li! You've misjudged me, haven't you? This isn't the limit; it's just the warm-up!"

The white-haired old man sitting in the main seat took a deep breath to calm his agitated emotions.

He had to admit that he had indeed misjudged the situation this time.

"I never expected this..." The old man gave a wry smile. "Such a prodigy could actually be born among our human race. Is it a return to ancestral traits? Or a mutation? No matter what it is, this kid's future... is limitless."

"but……"

Just as Elder Xingtian was plotting how to recruit this promising talent to his own sect, the beautiful woman in palace attire, who had calmed down slightly, suddenly spoke with a complicated expression.

Her words were like a bucket of ice water poured over Elder Xingtian's burning heart.

"Xingtian, don't be too happy yet."

Have you ever thought about...?

The beautiful woman sighed softly, pointing to the enormous figure in the water mirror that was still rising steadily. "How many resources does it take to raise a true dragon?"

The air inside the bronze hall suddenly became quiet.

The ecstatic smile on Elder Xingtian's face froze on his lips.

Raise a real dragon?

This problem was like an advanced math problem, instantly causing this reckless guy who only knew how to fight to burn out his CPU.

Seeing this, the beautiful woman in palace attire revealed a hint of helplessness in her eyes, slowly raised a finger, and began to calculate his accounts.

"According to ancient records, the True Dragon Clan is blessed with unique advantages."

"Even in their infancy, they possessed combat strength comparable to Spirit Disciple (levels 11-20)."

"Once they enter the growth stage, their strength will skyrocket to the level of Spirit King or even Spirit Emperor."

"And if I can successfully reach adulthood and transform into my complete form..."

The beautiful woman paused, her voice becoming incredibly solemn, "That is an unparalleled being comparable to a human Spirit Emperor (levels 91-99)! They might even have the potential to reach the legendary Divine Realm!"

Hearing this, Elder Xingtian's eyes lit up even more: "Isn't that even better? Where can we find such a thug... no, a disciple?"

"That's good."

The beautiful woman rolled her eyes and ruthlessly delivered the fatal blow, "But do you know what the price will be?"

"Each time a true dragon advances, it needs to devour a massive amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth to reshape its physical body."

"That amount..." She stretched out her hand, gesturing with an exaggerated gesture, "is about ten thousand times that of a human Spirit Source user of the same level."

"Moreover, there are more, if not more."

Ten thousand times.

Upon hearing this number, Elder Xingtian's burly body swayed violently, almost losing his balance.

He subconsciously touched the storage bag at his waist, and then thought about the wealth he had accumulated over hundreds of years in his private treasury.

I originally thought I was a rich man.

Now it seems...

Compared to a creature like a true dragon, I'm practically a recipient of welfare!

"this……"

Elder Xingtian swallowed hard, his voice suddenly becoming much weaker, "One...ten thousand times? Wouldn't that wipe out our entire savings?"

"food and clothing?"

The beautiful woman sneered, "Even if you were sold, it wouldn't be enough to fill his teeth."

"Now that the Abyss is recovering, the war between humanity and the Abyss has reached a fever pitch, and every resource is being used with utmost utmost care."

"Under these circumstances, who would dare to use strategic reserves to feed a bottomless money-devouring beast?"

"Moreover, the growth period of dragons often takes hundreds or even thousands of years..."

"Can we afford to wait?"

The last sentence struck the hearts of everyone present like a heavy hammer.

Elder Xingtian remained silent.

The fervor in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by a deep sense of powerlessness and regret.

Yes.

In peacetime, if the cost were disregarded and the entire clan were devoted to nurturing it, perhaps a guardian dragon god could truly be raised.

but now……

Humans simply can't afford to support them.

"What a pity."

The white-haired old man in the main seat sighed deeply, his tone filled with the desolation of being born at the wrong time. "If I had been born tens of thousands of years earlier, or tens of thousands of years later... I have to be born in this most difficult era."

"No matter how talented you are, without sufficient resources to support you, it will be difficult to realize your terrifying potential."

The atmosphere inside the hall became somewhat heavy.

Looking at the dark gold demon god in the water mirror, who was still climbing steadily step by step, the big shots had mixed feelings.

It's like seeing a limited-edition supercar in front of you, only to find that you can't even afford the gas!

This feeling is so frustrating.

"That's enough."

After a long while, the white-haired old man sat up straight again, his gaze once more becoming deep and unfathomable.

"Although it's impossible to nurture such a promising talent with the full resources of the clan, we must not let such a talent lose heart."

He looked at the figure who had already stepped onto the 940th step and made his final decision.

"Let's see."

"If he can climb over the 950th step on his own..."

"That proves that his potential is enough for us to break some of the rules."

"At that time, I will take the initiative to open the 'top-tier' resource library to him once. As for how much he can get and how far he can go... it will all depend on his own fate."

950 steps.

This is a new threshold.

This was also the final test given to this "true dragon" by the high-ranking members of the human race.

Within the water mirror.

Lu Sheng knew nothing about this.

He felt the dragon blood burning wildly within him. The oppressive aura emanating from above did not frighten him; instead, it ignited the ferocity within him.

"945..."

"946..."

Each time the enormous dragon claw struck, it caused a tremor in the space.

Only a few steps remain to reach the 950th step that will determine your fate!

Lu Sheng grinned, revealing a row of gleaming white fangs.

boom!

He lifted his leg again, aiming for an even higher place, and stomped down heavily!
