Without saying a word, Lu Chen took a bite.

"It actually tastes pretty good!"

Lu Chen ate the entire Dragon Essence Fruit in one go without feeling any discomfort. After all, the rewards given to him by the system never had any side effects.

Even a spiritual pill like the Gathering Yuan Pill, which is used by True Yuan Realm cultivators, can only mean that the medicinal power cannot be fully absorbed.

If it can't be absorbed, it will simply remain in the body and won't have any effect.

But this Dragon Essence Fruit is completely different.

Innate spiritual fruit.

Lu Chen felt a golden light suddenly emanate from his body, which was visible to the naked eye. His heartbeat became more and more calm, and he felt as comfortable as if he were soaking in a hot spring.

The power of the Dragon Fruit is truly amazing.

"Huh?"

Lu Chen was surprised to find that his physical strength was constantly improving.

The Qi Condensation Realm mainly involves absorbing the primordial energy of heaven and earth, and does not significantly improve the physical body's refinement. It is only when one reaches the Body Tempering Realm that the main focus shifts to tempering the physical body.

At this moment, Lu Chen's physical body was rapidly becoming stronger.

"Body Tempering Realm, First Level!"

"Second level of Body Tempering Realm!"

"Third level of Body Tempering Realm!"

"..."

"Ninth level of Body Tempering Realm!"

Finally, after absorbing all the energy of the Dragon Essence Fruit, Lu Chen's physical strength actually reached the same level as the ninth level of the Body Tempering Realm.

"This Dragon Essence Fruit is amazing!"

Lu Chen sighed inwardly.

This is the most impressive reward he has ever received.

Other techniques and martial arts, though powerful, could not be fully utilized by Lu Chen even if he could learn them instantly.

After all, their own strength had not improved.

But things are different now.

"Break through!"

Lu Chen began to absorb the medicinal power remaining in his body from the Gathering Yuan Pill.

"Eighth level of Qi Condensation Realm!"

"Ninth level of Qi Condensation Realm!"

After breaking through two minor realms in succession, he finally absorbed all the medicinal power.

Lu Chen's heart stirred.

"The special effects of the Dragon Essence Fruit? Transformation into a True Dragon? Let's give it a try!"
