Multiverse Skill System

The sky was filled with countless ancient dragons roaring, as if celebrating something. They circled and swirled in the air, creating a spectacular scene.

After about fifteen minutes, some of the thousand-year-old dragons landed on the island to rest or perform actions that people couldn't understand, as if it were a ritual.

"Lord Long!"

The old dragon, with a look of relief in its eyes, collapsed to the ground, seemingly about to die. Abi saw this and her face was filled with worry.

"Don't die, Master Long, Master Long..."

However, no matter what Apis did, the Thousand-Year Dragon eventually closed its eyes slowly, and Apis stared blankly at the Thousand-Year Dragon's corpse, her eyes filled with tears.

Chapter 163, Blood Draw Time

"Don't be sad, it's just a different body, isn't it?" Yi Shuihan said this with a sense of surprise in his heart.

He witnessed with his own eyes that, at the very moment the thousand-year-old dragon died, a dragon egg suddenly appeared at the foot of the rock wall not far away, without any warning.

Yi Shuihan was certain that it wasn't there from the beginning.

“Yes! Lord Long must still be alive somewhere.” Abis wiped her eyes and smiled. Lord Long’s goal had been achieved, so she should be happy.

Yi Shuihan walked up to the corpse of the Thousand-Year Dragon, pointed his finger, and a clump of blood appeared. However, this blood was different from the blood that had come out of its body before. It was the blood of a dead creature, extremely cold, and without a trace of life.

"As expected?" He had just died, so his immense life force shouldn't have dissipated so quickly. Clearly, something special had happened, such as his life force transforming into that dragon egg in some unknown way.

Having lost its vitality, the dragon's corpse was only of ornamental value and not worth coveting. Therefore, Yi Shuihan turned his attention to those still lively creatures.

Seemingly sensing Yi Shuihan's malice, all the thousand-year-old dragons that were being watched by Yi Shuihan became somewhat irritable, radiating their unique dragon might and roaring at Yi Shuihan, as if warning him of something.

But this was obviously useless. Yi Shuihan walked directly to a thousand-year-old dragon that looked very strong.

"Can you come with me?"

Before Qiannianlong could respond, Yi Shuihan struck him unconscious with a single chop to the neck, as if his previous question had been merely polite and that he had no intention of disregarding Qiannianlong's wishes.

"What is he doing?"

"Oh no, I have a bad feeling."

While the islanders were marveling at the wonders of the Thousand-Year Dragons, they were stunned when they discovered Yi Shuihan's actions. Even though the Thousand-Year Dragons seemed harmless at the moment, attacking them was an extremely dangerous act no matter how you looked at it.

Sure enough, the people's fears were confirmed the next moment. The thousand-year-old dragons, who had previously almost ignored them, instantly turned their heads towards Yi Shuihan, and then...

"Hooho..."

It roared and charged forward.

He's dead!

"It will definitely be torn to shreds."

The islanders were so frightened by this scene that their hearts nearly jumped out of their chests. Some even closed their eyes, unable to bear the sight of Yi Shuihan being torn apart.

However, things did not go as they expected. The thousand-year-old dragons that were flying towards Yishuihan suddenly fell straight down on the way, as if they had lost their ability to fly.

Many of them were still flapping their wings in the air, but they landed at an even faster speed.

"bang bang bang"

One after another, the thousand-year-old dragons smashed large craters into the ground, and in the blink of an eye, not a single thousand-year-old dragon remained standing.

"What happened? What did he do?"

"Amazing."

Amidst the islanders' awe-inspiring gazes, Yi Shuihan flipped his hand and produced an enormous syringe, then plunged it into the thousand-year-old dragon.

"Robin, hurry up and help give these guys injections." After drawing a tube of blood, Yi Shuihan felt the process was a bit slow, so he called Robin over.

Robin's mind had long been blanked by Yi Shuihan's actions, and he couldn't keep up with Yi Shuihan's train of thought at all. When he heard Yi Shuihan's call, he subconsciously took a blank syringe.

It was a syringe half her size. If it were a human, it could probably drain them completely, but for a thousand-year-old dragon, it was just a drop in the ocean. A dragon would need to be drained dozens of times.

“That is…” Watching Yi Shuihan continuously drawing blood with a syringe and then pouring the blood into a vat the size of a small boat, Robin gave up the idea of ​​asking. After hesitating for a moment, he did the same thing as Yi Shuihan.

"Although I don't know what you're doing, I think I can help." The succubus smiled charmingly and walked with cat-like steps to Yi Shuihan. However, Yi Shuihan had no interest in appreciating her demeanor and tossed her a syringe without turning around.

"Don't be too brutal. Our principle is that they should still be alive after we've finished smoking them."

"..."

Is this what you call not being brutal? There's nothing more brutal than this!

The islanders only saw Yi Shuihan and his two companions repeating the same actions over and over again. The sight of the enormous syringe sent chills down their spines, but no one dared to stop them.

Even Apis, who originally wanted to stop them, was pulled back and prevented from stepping forward.

Yi Shuihan had replaced the water tanks on the small boat countless times. He only stopped his frantic actions after his hands were sore from being drained of blood. By then, his domineering domain had long been closed, but the thousand-year-old dragons were still lying on the ground, unable to get up.

The thousand-year-old dragons looked at Yi Shuihan and the others in horror, feeling a sense of weakness in their bodies. Even moving was extremely difficult. If it weren't for the special nature of their bodies, they would probably be covered in needle marks by now.

When Yi Shuihan stopped, all the thousand-year-old dragons felt as if they had gone to heaven. They had developed a phobia of syringes and would probably feel weak in the knees whenever they encountered one in the future.

"Don't we need to continue?" When Robin heard Yi Shuihan say to stop, he hadn't recovered from the blood draw and instinctively reached for the needle. Luckily, he finally realized what was happening.

Looking at the pinhole only 10 centimeters away from him, Yi Shuihan appeared calm on the surface, but was inwardly startled.

After putting away the syringe, Yi Shuihan walked up to the islanders and said, "They won't be able to move for a while. In the meantime, you'd better not mess with them, otherwise..."

At this point, Yi Shuihan pointed in a certain direction, and a flash of light appeared. Accompanied by a deafening explosion, a 20-meter-long rock shattered. The islanders watched, swallowing hard, afraid of being pointed at by him once.

Even rocks can be shattered with a single finger; a human would surely be reduced to dust.

This shock caused some people who had harbored ill intentions after witnessing Yi Shuihan's actions to abandon their inappropriate thoughts. Even the precious dragon blood was not as valuable as their own lives!

“Why are you bullying them? They are all Dragon Lord’s people.” Apis was the only one who voiced her doubts.

Yi Shuihan did not respond to this, since what the other party said was true.

After giving Abis a deep look,

"Let's go!" He called to Robin and the other man, walked to the new shore, and with a wave of his hand launched the boat, indicating that he was about to leave.

Chapter 164, The Art of Bronze Identification

"What exactly is the purpose of that dragon blood?" Robin finally couldn't help but ask once they were on the ship.

"That's a real treasure! If I'm not mistaken, dragon blood can extend a person's lifespan, but we'll need to conduct some experiments to confirm that."

"Extend lifespan! How is that possible?"

Robin couldn't help but retort that although this world has Devil Fruits and all sorts of abilities, the lifespan of humans is no different from that of people who are not Devil Fruit users. Even if someone is very strong, their lifespan is only seventy or eighty years. Living past one hundred is considered a long life.

Treasures that can prolong life have always been legendary and have never been proven.

Of course, even if others don't believe Yi Shuihan, Robin will. After learning about the effects of dragon blood, he wouldn't be surprised by Yi Shuihan's previous crazy blood-drawing. In fact, he felt that not drawing all the blood from those thousand-year-old dragons was really merciful.

"Extending lifespan, can it also preserve youthful appearance?" the succubus suddenly asked, more concerned with the latter than with extending lifespan.

When it came to eternal youth, Robin's eyes lit up as he looked at Yi Shuihan expectantly.

"Women really care more about their appearance than anything else!" Yi Shuihan understood, but dared not make a guarantee and could only vaguely say, "Probably!"

"That's great, you must use dragon blood for me then."

"Don't forget about Renjia."

Seeing the two women's heightened interest and their eyes filled with such hatred that they seemed to want to devour him, Yi Shuihan found it hard to bear.

He quickly assured them that they could take the dragon blood once it was proven to have no side effects, which finally convinced Robin and the succubus to let him go.

Over the next few days, Yi Shuihan continued his research on dragon blood, experimenting on nearly a hundred species, from fish to ordinary animals, large beasts, and humanoid animals.

The results were naturally very encouraging. No creature experienced any major side effects after consuming dragon blood; at most, their bodies grew larger and they became more excited. Not a single one died.

Every creature that consumes dragon blood undergoes varying degrees of evolution, becoming more resilient and successfully extending its lifespan.

However, dragon blood also has its limitations. The larger the creature, the more dragon blood is needed to have an effect. If the same amount of dragon blood can extend the life of an ordinary fish by a year, it would take dozens of times more blood to extend the life of a ferocious beast like a tiger.

"Luckily, I'm not a sea king, but a human, otherwise the dragon blood would have been much less effective." Thinking of sea kings that are thousands of meters long, Yi Shuihan broke out in a cold sweat.

"Although there's a 90% chance that dragon blood is beneficial and harmless to humans, that 10% chance is still a bit too high. We need to find some real people to test it on!"

It wasn't that Yi Shuihan was overly cautious; it was simply that when it came to matters concerning his own life, one could never be too careful, lest there be any negative side effects and he regretted it.

Furthermore, for Yi Shuihan, since the dragon blood could not prolong his life, he had other methods without side effects, so the dragon blood was not something he couldn't give up.

Of course, even if dragon blood has some side effects in the end, you can still trade it to others later if you don't use it yourself.

"Sigh, I still need to test its usefulness myself. Why doesn't this system have an appraisal function? If it had an appraisal function..." Thinking of appraisal, Yi Shuihan suddenly froze. "Appraisal, right, why didn't I think of that?"

"Damn it, if that's the case, then all my work these past few days has been for nothing."

The system doesn't have an identification function, but it does sell identification skills! With an identification skill, you can immediately know the uses of dragon blood and whether it has any side effects. It's incredibly fast, a world of difference compared to this system that takes days of research to fully understand.

With a gloomy expression, Yi Shuihan opened the virtual panel. When he finally found the skill, he felt incredibly annoyed. It turned out that the things he had done over the past few days could have been completed in an instant, and he had wasted several days of his time.

"Appraisal Skill (Bronze Level 3), 2000 points, this is a good one!"

But what does "初" mean, or is there something else?

Upon closer inspection, I found the identification skills for silver and gold. The silver identification skill requires 10 points, while the gold identification skill requires a whopping 200 million points, which is frighteningly expensive.

The descriptions are almost identical: bronze can only identify items that are effective for those at the bronze level or below, silver can identify items that are very useful for those at the silver level, and gold is useful for those at the gold level.

According to the system's ranking system, the Silver rank is equivalent to an immortal cultivator in the East or a god in the West, which is extremely distant for Yi Shuihan at present.

If it's the blood of a thousand-year-old dragon, it definitely wouldn't be silver, so if it's bronze, its purpose can definitely be determined.

Even for a long time to come, a bronze-level appraisal skill will be sufficient for Yi Shuihan's use.

Gritting his teeth, he decisively bought the Appraisal Skill Bronze. The Appraisal Skill is extremely useful; he won't be afraid of missing out on good items in the future.

Even if it can't be authenticated, it can still be determined that it's a higher-value item, such as silver or gold, so just buy it directly.

Yi Shuihan took out a ball of dragon blood and immediately performed an appraisal on it. Surprisingly, after the appraisal was successfully activated, the purpose of the dragon blood appeared in Yi Shuihan's mind. He had no idea where this came from, as if this information had suddenly surfaced from the depths of his memory.

"Low-grade Dragon Blood 10086: The dragon blood of a thousand-year-old dragon in the One Piece world. It has the effect of enhancing vitality and is effective on creatures of the Black Iron level. It can increase life by up to a thousand years and has a certain effect on appearance. If the strength reaches Black Iron 5 stars or above, there are no side effects. If the strength is below Black Iron 5 stars, there will be a slight change in appearance, a slight dragonification."

What's with the "10086" after "low-grade dragon blood"? Is it the serial number for low-grade dragon blood?

This means that there is a great many kinds of dragon blood in the myriad worlds, but they are low-grade, only black iron level is useful, but it is just right for me now.

Extending lifespan by a thousand years? That makes sense, since even a thousand-year-old dragon can only live for a thousand years before reincarnating.

Chapter 165, No need to say anything, drink.

With no worries about the future, one can naturally begin to plan how to use this dragon blood. A lifespan of a thousand years is undoubtedly extremely attractive compared to one's current lifespan of only 99 years, or more precisely, a little over 76 years.

From 99 years to a thousand years, lifespan increases tenfold. Anyone would be unsettled in this situation, and Yi Shuihan was no exception.

He immediately took out the dragon's blood and was about to drink it.

After taking a small sip, Yi Shuihan suddenly stopped, not because he found anything wrong, but because the dragon blood had a fishy smell and was really hard to swallow.

If others knew that Yi Shuihan had stopped drinking dragon blood because of a slight difference in taste, they would probably all call him a scoundrel. Scoundrels are just pretentious.

His consciousness entered his personal space and quickly found some special seasonings. These were special seasonings that could remove the bloody smell and make the taste better. They were a specialty of a peculiar island in the new world called Seasoning Island. Yi Shuihan, being a foodie, also carried quite a few with him.

As the seasonings entered the dragon blood, an extremely fragrant aroma instantly filled the air, awakening the taste buds and making one eager to try it immediately.

Without a word, he picked up the bucket, which was half his height, and gulped it down. The dragon blood flowed down his throat, into his stomach, and was eventually transported throughout his body.

"Grumpy"

He actually drank the entire bucket of dragon blood in one go, something that Yi Shuihan could never have imagined before.

Wiping away the drops of dragon blood from the corner of his mouth, Yi Shuihan smiled as he felt the changes in his body. Never before had his body felt so relaxed.

"It's already a thousand-year lifespan, or at least 500 years!" Guessing won't work, so I'll just open the attribute panel and see for myself.

It was obvious that Yi Shuihan's intuition was wrong, but this did not discourage him in the slightest. On the contrary, he was even happier. His body had already undergone such changes after only a hundred years. Who knew what it would be like after a thousand years! It was truly something to look forward to.

A bucket of dragon blood was just a drop in the ocean for Yi Shuihan, so he was very confident and could continue.

"Hmm?" After drinking half of the dragon blood again, Yi Shuihan suddenly stopped. It wasn't that he didn't want to continue, but he simply couldn't drink any more.

"Damn, I'm already full. Looks like I won't need to eat for the next few days, I can just drink blood." Glancing at his lifespan, which had now become 260, Yi Shuihan could only manage a wry smile.

"Hmm, my skin is indeed much smoother, but this function is really useless to me. Although being a gigolo has a promising future, I don't need it!" Yi Shuihan muttered as he touched the baby's hand, feeling its smoothness like a baby's.

When Yi Shuihan reappeared before Robin and the succubus, demonstrating the effects of dragon blood, and especially seeing his drastically changed skin, Robin and the succubus went completely berserk, lunging at him.

"I want it, give it to me now..."

"I want it? I can't wait..."

Seeing the person groping him and saying those somewhat misleading things, Yi Shuihan felt strange.
