The Divine Dragon Power''s energy surged outward in that instant.
As everyone saw the Divine Dragon Mark appear on my forehead, they couldn''t help but retreat.
Even Crane''s brow creased slightly.
Right then, I seemed to grasp something!
I couldn''t help but recall the moment when Leticia witnessed the Divine Dragon Power!
These Demonic Beasts appeared to fear the Divine Dragon Power greatly!
"Haha!" I couldn''t suppress a coldugh, then gazed at everyone around me.
Yet Crane, standing not far off, merely frowned and kept advancing toward me.
My expression shifted drastically!
Had Crane broken through the bloodline suppression so fast?
Before long, Crane had approached me.
His bearing was majestic, yet within his refined stancey the most devastating power.
I didn''t dare let my guard down, so I had to push my fading energy to its limit to confront Crane!
Sadly, even at full strength, I posed no danger to Crane, much less in my current state?
Crane simply flexed his arms and sent me flying backward!
Before I could stand, Crane''s massive hand was already descending.
A crushing force mmed into me, and I saw only ckness before losing consciousness.

When Mason Raymond regained consciousness, he found himself imprisoned in a cage, with the man with the mustache lying next to him.
"Damn it." Mason Raymond muttered under his breath.
What rotten luck—they had stumbled into a city full of Demonic Beasts!
Noticing the man with the mustache was still out cold, Mason Raymond moved closer to examine his condition.
But as Mason Raymond drew near, he caught the sound of the man with the mustache''s soft snoring.
The guy was actually sleeping! And sleeping peacefully at that!
"How can you be so chill!" Mason Raymond kicked him in the rear.
The man with the mustache rolled over and dozed off again drowsily.
Mason Raymond had no option but to yank him up by the ear.
The roused man with the mustache gazed around in bewilderment.
"What''s happening?" He rubbed his drowsy eyes.
Mason Raymond replied with a dark expression, "Demonic Beasts caught us."
Upon hearing this, the man with the mustache suddenly recalled everything.
His eyes widened, and he murmured, "Oh crap, we''re totally done for!"
"Any chance we can get out?" Mason Raymond inquired.
The man with the mustache initially reached for a spiritual stone, but then shook his head and said, "Nope, there''s a formation covering this whole city. Our divine sense can''t even prate it, never mind the formation itself."
Mason Raymond''s brow furrowed slightly.
No matter how hard he thought, he couldn''te up with a workable n.
Just then, two figures appeared outside.
They rapped on the cell bars and announced, "Lord Crane wishes to see you."
"We''re finished, they''re gonna kill us." The man with the mustache said miserably.
"I never imagined The Master would meet such an end, this is uneptable!"
"Enough, quit your whining." The two figures scowled.
Mason Raymond, though, stayed remarkablyposed.
If Crane truly intended to eliminate them, he would''ve done so immediately. No point in locking them up.
Since they were allowed to live, there was hope for a way out.
Mason Raymond and the man with the mustache trailed behind them, winding through forests and streams, until they reached a mountain area.
The location resembled paradise, encircled by rocky formations.
Trees bore fruit on their branches, while caves overflowed with fine liquor.
Gazing at the ethereal surroundings, Mason Raymond found himself mesmerized, believing he''d entered some mystical realm.
Up ahead, Crane reclined on a stone tform, clutching a jade vessel brimming with honey-colored wine.
"Lord Crane, we''ve delivered them." The two figures reported.
Crane gestured for them to withdraw temporarily.
"Lord Crane, please show mercy. The Master possesses a precious artifact he''ll dly offer you!" The man with the mustache rushed forward and pleaded.
But before he could reach Crane, he was hurled backward.
Mason Raymond observed Crane with icyposure, appearingpletely unruffled.
Crane remained silent for some time; he sipped his wine, his slender eyes half-shut, his silver hair dancing in the wind, creating quite a striking image.
"You''re not scared?" After draining a jar of wine, Crane finally lifted his gaze to Mason Raymond.
Mason Raymond maintained his dignity and replied evenly, "I believe you won''t murder us, you simply want to obtain something from us."
Crane stared icily at Mason Raymond and said, "What could you possibly possess that would interest me."
"I have no idea." Mason Raymond responded tly.
Crane rose from the jade tform and moved slowly toward Mason Raymond.
That overwhelming presence was enough to make anyone''s blood run cold.
The suffocating pressure filled the space.
Yet even then, Mason Raymond stood firm, meeting Crane''s gaze steadily.
When their eyes locked, the air seemed to freeze momentarily.
Mason Raymond''s mind was crystal clear, rapidly reviewing everything in his possession.
After considering all possibilities, only the Divine Dragon Power might capture Crane''s attention.
And forcibly extracting the Divine Dragon Power was virtually impossible.
"How did you acquire the Divine Dragon Power?"
At that moment, Crane finally broke the silence.
He turned and walked back to his jade tform, casually lifting another jar of premium wine.
Mason Raymond felt relief wash over him.
Just as he''d suspected.
So, he recounted to Crane theplete story of how he obtained the Divine Dragon Power.
After hearing everything, Crane said quietly, "Starting now, I need you to use your Divine Dragon Power to assist my training."
"The Divine Dragon Power can aid your training?" Mason Raymond looked confused.
Crane replied coolly, "I''ll limit my power to match yours and spar with you."
Mason Raymond stroked his chin thoughtfully.
Even if Crane restricted his strength to that of Half-step Martial Sages, his physical form remained that of a Martial Saint.
Plus, he was a Divine Ranked Demonic Beast, so Mason Raymond''s chaotic body benefits would be useless.
Seeing that Mason Raymond remained quiet for an extended period, Crane got up and said, "I won''t exploit you for free. When we''re finished, I''ll fulfill one request of yours."
