Chapter 211: Chapter 153: Hunting Flood Dragon
Lu Yuan glanced around, then, without a second thought, returned to the Golden Wheel and immediately sat down to prepare for his breakthrough. After all, Xiao Gu was here.
There were also eight powerful experts from Prajna Temple acting as Protectors.
It couldn’t be any safer. As for the other dynasties, they all had their own disciples with them and probably wouldn’t dare to start a conflict lightly.
Therefore, he immediately opened his system panel.
Lu Yuan hadn’t checked it in a while, so today was a good chance to take a look.
[Name: Lu Yuan]
[Age: 19]
[Cultivation Technique: Sixth-Grade Cultivation Skill "Celestial Spirit Fierce Sun Saber" (9,382/30,000 Perfection)]
[Fifth-Grade Cultivation Skill "Mixed Element Condensing Void Technique" (Gathering Pill) (10,234/30,000 Perfection)]
[Sixth-Grade Cultivation Skill "Formless Golden Bell" (53,013/30,000 Perfection, Enter the Stance?)]
[Fourth-Grade Array "Shocking God Slaughter Array" (29,201/30,000 Perfection) Added Effects: Doubles Defense, doubles speed, can produce a shock effect during large-scale battles, causing a drop in enemy morale.]
[Fourth-Grade Cultivation Skill "Condensing Void Arrow Skill" (5,932/50,000 Entering the Stance)]
[Fifth-Grade Cultivation Skill "Condensing Evil Heart-Breaking Fist" (10,228/50,000 Entering the Stance)]
A smile touched Lu Yuan’s lips as he looked at the data on the panel.
’My cultivation has been increasing very quickly lately.’
’I haven’t fallen behind at all. The Gathering Pill stage is almost at Perfection, too. In a little while, I should be able to step directly into the Divine Palace realm. My strength will take another leap then.’
He then immediately initiated the breakthrough.
Immediately after, layers of golden light materialized around his body. With every breath, he inhaled and exhaled vast amounts of Life Essence Qi.
Seeing this, Xiao Gu knew Lu Yuan was breaking through. With a flick of his palm, he enveloped Lu Yuan in a golden barrier, preventing anyone outside from seeing what was happening within.
At the same time, Xiao Gu was secretly astonished. ’I can’t believe he’s breaking through right after climbing Celestial Ladder Cliff.’
He marveled at the young man’s talent. Even though Lu Yuan hadn’t reached the summit, his accomplishment was beyond what any ordinary person could compare to.
Aside from him, the others looked on with envy. After all, not everyone possessed the talent to break through whenever and wherever they pleased.
Lu Yuan, however, paid them no mind. As his Formless Golden Bell began its breakthrough, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
At that moment, his body underwent a tremendous transformation. Perhaps because of his recent climb, Lu Yuan could clearly see a golden luster pulsing beneath every inch of his skin, brimming with spirituality and a divine aura.
The benefits from scaling the cliff this time were immense. His physical body, in particular, had been strengthened to an unprecedented degree, which truly astonished him.
The power erupting from deep within his body made him feel as if he could lift an entire mountain.
Of course, he knew this was just a sensation caused by the drastic increase in his cultivation.
Still, he was incredibly excited.
[Sixth-Grade Cultivation Skill "Formless Golden Bell" (3,013/50,000 Entering the Stance)]
At that moment, the Formless Golden Bell had fully achieved Entering the Stance.
His bulging muscles were hidden beneath his Python Robe. When he stood up, his gaze fixed on the distance before him.
His eyes flashed with a brilliant light.
It made the others involuntarily lower their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.
Right now, Lu Yuan was eager to find out just how strong he had become.
However, he also understood that now was not the time to test his strength.
He would have to wait until this whole affair was over.
’My cultivation level is still too low in the end. If I could reach the Earth Immortal Realm, with my combat prowess, I could suppress every expert in the world,’ Lu Yuan thought to himself.
He slowly rose to his feet.
The barrier around him shattered like glass.
Xiao Gu glanced at him. "Your aura has grown much stronger."
His eyes showed his appreciation as he spoke. In the Gathering Pill realm, he had never seen anyone stronger than Lu Yuan.
"Yes, a minor breakthrough," he said with a smile.
Then he turned to Xiao Hua. "This time, helping you hunt a Flood Dragon should be no problem."
A young Flood Dragon’s strength was equivalent to the Gathering Pill realm, but its combat prowess was so great it could even rival those in the Divine Palace realm. As such, very few people would dare to provoke one.
Cultivators of the same realm would give it a wide berth if they ever encountered one.
Anyone who managed to slay a Flood Dragon would become famous throughout the Human Race.
It was a symbol of immense combat strength.
Xiao Gu looked at Lu Yuan and said, "Heh, Flood Dragon Blood is incredibly beneficial for Body Tempering. Since Prince Qin wants to give it a try, then let’s give it a try. I’ll send men to find a Flood Dragon right away."
His own strength was more than enough to protect Lu Yuan and the others.
If they truly managed to hunt a Flood Dragon, it would be a considerable gain.
The essence blood could be used for Body Tempering, the scales could be forged into armor, and the Flood Dragon Sinew was an excellent material for bowstrings.
In fact, this was also one of the reasons Lu Yuan wanted to hunt the Flood Dragon.
As his strength increased, ordinary bows could no longer withstand his force.
Although the Northern Barbarians had good ones, it would be even better if he could craft one from a beast he hunted himself.
Even as Xiao Gu spoke, he was already arranging for his men to begin the search.
Xiao Hua said excitedly, "We’ll go back after Yuan hunts the Flood Dragon."
"Yes, but we must be extremely careful," Xiao Gu said softly. "There are quite a few factions here this time. Now that we’re at the East Sea, many people will want to try their hand at Hunting Flood Dragons. We’ll inevitably run into others."
As far as he knew, Dayong certainly wouldn’t pass up this opportunity.
It was said that the Dayong court even organized its Noble Disciples to come to the East Sea every year for Flood Dragon hunts as a way to temper themselves and harvest resources at the same time.
The Unparalleled Marquis of old had made his name by slaying a Flood Dragon while at the same cultivation realm.
After all, those who could accomplish such a feat at the same realm were exceedingly rare.
This time, with Prince Qin present, it was the Northern Barbarians’ turn to make a name for themselves.
Opportunities to hunt Flood Dragons didn’t come often for the Northern Barbarians. Since they were here now, even Xiao Gu was eager for a chance to try.
