Chapter 614 - Divine Nine Dragon Seals
Chapter 614: Divine Nine Dragon Seals
The exposing of Red Brows Su Lun’s true face, unification of Golden Tooth, Black Bone, and Poison Scorpion, and the action of making the gangs and Leprosy Village cease hostility and negotiate for peace, thus indirectly saving the few hundred thousand lives in the lair as well as the Dragon Citizens outside that numbered dozens of times more rewarded him generously. Even he found it to be a reasonable sum.
This contribution alone gave Meng Chao a few hundred thousand contribution points as a reward.
This made his total contribution points reach nearly one million.
Before he went through his national college examination and had just received Kindling, this would have been an astronomical number that he would never be able to finish spending no matter how hard he tried.
But now, Meng Chao was already an elite who had a seat among other elites.
What he practiced was no longer basic force execution that could be learned by high school students, like Reckless Bull Force.
Most of the amazing skills that shocked Dragon City required dozens of spirit energy magnetic fields being stacked against each other.
During the process of creation and execution, they had really harsh requirements toward spirit energy pressure, spirit energy circulation speed, and spirit tattoo fluctuation rate. The slightest carelessness would cause the creation process to fail.
At the same time the power of the techniques increased by one hundred times, the difficulty in practicing them also increased by one hundred times compared to Basic Level Force Execution Methods.
Meng Chao only needed to spend hundreds of contribution points in the past to increase the Skillfulness of Basic Level Force Execution Methods by several percent.
Now, even if he spent a few hundred thousand contribution points, he might not be able to push the Skillfulness of the new amazing skills from Normal to Specialist.
Besides, what restricted him from increasing the level of a skill was not just his contribution points, but also his spirit energy.
Energy obeyed the law of conservation. It was impossible for him to level up a skill by leaps and bounds just by thinking about it.
If he wanted to increase the Skillfulness level of a martial art, aside from throwing in a few ten thousand contribution points or even a few hundred thousand contribution points, he also had to take in a lot of valuable ingredients and squeeze out every drop of spirit energy in them.
Meng Chao had made some calculations before. After he reached Heaven Realm, if he still wanted to use contribution points to increase the speed of practicing an above average-level skill, he had to eat a few tons or even dozens of tons of monster meat in one go.
He could not just eat any normal monster either. Those monsters had to be at least Nightmarish Beasts.
Usually, this was impossible. Chances to do it only came by occasionally.
That was why he went into the wild to train.
One of the reasons was because through real fights, he could polish his fighting skills, and it was even more effective than using contribution points to push his Skillfulness higher.
The other reason was because he actually had the possibility of hunting huge beasts that weighed dozens of tons in the wild and eat them to his heart’s pleasure.
But right then, it was definitely not a “normal” situation.
His body was filled with violent spirit energy, which was about to make his organs and all his cells burst.
He had to think of a way to instantly digest all that spirit energy, for it was the only way he could avoid spontaneously combusting or even exploding.
He could exchange for Skillfulness with his contribution points and spirit energy to forcefully level up his skills. This was clearly the best and only method he could use now.
Meng Chao endured the pain of his brain burning and brought out all the skills he could activate and upgrade.
At that moment, he was no longer a nameless nobody before national college examination who had only mastered Reckless Bull Force, One Hundred Saber Techniques, and other basic martial arts.
He was taught personally by Deity Realm superhuman Black Tortoise Xuan Zong for his professional classes in Monster University’s martial arts course.
Yan Organization, Ning Shewo, and other master level harvesters, Soul Breaking Saber, and other elite fighters had also provided him careful guidance.
He also sparred with Lu Siya and other elites of his generation.
On top of that, he had been rewarded abundantly by the abnormal beast research department and other departments after he contributed to society.
All of this turned into rows of dazzling golden words after he trained day and night madly, and now, these golden words gushed out from the top right corner of his vision.
They represented nearly one hundred above average level martial arts that he had learned. Most of them were at Master Level, and some were at Perfect Level.
However, while these martial arts were strong, they were not enough.
They were not enough to digest the Hell’s Blood that was wreaking havoc in his body.
From the first second he decided to upgrade his skills, Meng Chao’s was fixed on an especially dazzling name at the top of his skill list.
Divine Nine Dragon Skills!
Most of his skills were at Master Level or Perfect Level. Some were even at Ultimate Level. At the very least, they were at Specialist Level. In comparison, this martial arts technique only had—Normal Level. It looked really miserable compared to the others.
But it was the strongest martial art Meng Chao had learned.
And it was because Divine Nine Dragon Seals was the skill that made Battle God Lei Zongchao famous!
Over the last half a century, Lei Zongchao was known as the strongest in Dragon City and the legend of martial arts. He was the symbol and representative of all superhumans.
Legend said that he was not only the first Earthling to awaken to supernatural abilities, but also the great pioneer that set up the foundation for spirit energy martial artists and modern life sciences.
Also, he was different from the supreme elites who built the nine great mega corporations. Battle God Lei Zongchao never created his own corporation nor his own family.
He never married and did not have children. He did not save up any wealth for his personal use, either. Instead, he offered his entire life to Dragon City, his comrades, and his civilization.
Apparently, the Supernatural Tower that currently stood at the center of Dragon City was a building that Battle God Lei Zongchao created by offering all his money. He also used his peerless fighting strength to “beg” the masters of the nine great mega corporations to offer money or power to help build it.
After the Supernatural Tower was formed, Lei Zongchao used most of his energy to kill countless monsters and gather large quantities of crystals to create a crystal statue. He sealed all the amazing skills he created over the course of his entire life inside and generously offered them to all humans.
The crystal statue was placed in the mission hall of the Supernatural Tower.
Anyone could research, study, and practice his skills in public.
If they managed to learn one of the Battle God’s skills, he would not be angry. Instead, he would be delighted and would personally show up to teach them more.
Hence, Battle God Lei Zongchao’s martial arts theory was the most popular orthodox theory in modern Dragon City.
Many of the superhumans had received the old man’s grace and guidance before.
Practically all the martial arts courses in every university had at least a few professional courses related to the Battle God’s ultimate techniques.
However, even though Lei Zongchao’s martial arts theory was popular among the people and plenty of powerful people managed to receive personal guidance, thus were able to use his techniques decently, there were only a handful who were skilled in Divine Nine Dragon Seals.
Even if Battle God Lei Zongchao had carved the meditation method, secret technique, and creation of the spirit energy magnetic fields for Divine Nine Dragon Seals clearly into the crystal statue in the Supernatural Tower and had given permission to all martial arts courses in the universities to set up advanced training courses for Divine Nine Dragon Seals, there were only a few who managed to grasp the basics of this amazing technique.
Because it was just too difficult.
Divine Nine Dragon Seals was split into two sections—Nine Dragons’ Songs and Divine Seals.
The former placed an emphasis on training the eight dragon meridians in the human body.
The person could only be considered to have mastered the skill after they could make a torrential wave of spirit energy stir up a storm in the dragon meridians and let out a dragon-like roar.
There were 1,024 branch meridians and 108 main meridians in the human spirit energy system. Meanwhile, they only had 8 dragon meridians.
From this alone, it was clear just how important dragon meridians were and how hard it was to clear as well as train them.
Usually, anyone who had cleared one or two dragon meridians had the right to be known as a first-class fighter.
Even Heaven Realm superhumans did not always have cleared all eight dragon meridians.
As for Divine Nine Dragon Seals, not only was the technique’s user required to clear the dragon meridians, they were also required to stimulate the spirit energy in the dragon meridians to let out a dragon roar.
It was extremely terrifying and dangerous!
Besides, there were only eight dragon meridians in the human body.
The highest state in Nine Dragons’ Song was Nine Dragons Resonance.
Aside from Battle God Lei Zongchao himself, no one knew what was the extra ninth dragon meridian and what sort of scientific logic was used for it!
Apparently, once the dragon meridians had been cultivated into fierce dragons, not only would it increase the strength of a superhuman’s physical body and spirit meridians, it would also upgrade the power of all the martial arts they learned. More importantly, they could create spirit energy magnetic fields beforehand and seal them in the dragon meridians, creating a Divine Seal.
This was the second half of Divine Nine Dragon Seals—Divine Seals!
There was no need to even mention the benefits of creating spirit energy magnetic fields beforehand and storing them.
In battle, when the enemy was still spending time creating spirit energy magnetic fields, the superhumans who had mastered Divine Seals could retrieve the spirit energy magnetic fields that had been sealed in their dragon meridians and execute their techniques instantly.
Even if execution speed was only shortened by 0.5 of a second, it could determine a person’s life and death at critical moments.
Over the past half a century, countless spirit energy martial arts pioneers had cracked their heads and researched ways to instantly execute skills.
Divine Seals could be considered to be the most successful and mature method.
Unfortunately, the difficulty in practicing this technique was too high, and even the professors in the martial arts courses of various universities had a difficult time mastering it.
Many prodigies who were too arrogant for their own good chose to challenge this and took up classes regarding Divine Nine Dragon Seals.
After all, the coursemarks for this class were also the highest in all the professional classes in the martial arts courses.
But once the end of a semester arrived, these prodigies would all return without any results. They would cry and hug their lecturers’ thighs, begging them to give them one more chance.
If they could reverse time, they would definitely not choose Divine Nine Dragon Seals.
Even if the most basic theory of this martial art was as difficult to understand as the hardest languages in the world.
This insane martial art only belonged to the peerless elites with outstanding achievements. It was not something normal humans could practice!
Meng Chao never thought about practicing Divine Nine Dragon Seals.
Based on what he remembered, when the apocalypse arrived, there were not many peerless elites in Dragon City who had mastered Divine Nine Dragon Seals.
In his previous life, ever since Battle God Lei Zongchao died together with the King of Beasts—a creature even more terrifying than Apocalyptic Beasts—at the end of the Monster War, there was no more possibility of being taught by him personally, and Divine Nine Dragon Seals became a nearly lost art.
Meng Chao did not believe that his current self could challenge such a difficult technique.
But he had helped the abnormal beast research department complete many important missions, and the abnormal beast research department never mistreated him and gave him plenty of rewards and help.
There was also an anonymous donor who forked out loads of money and high-grade cultivation cabins to support him so that he could make the Broken Star Club grow.
This anonymous donor had also prepared a set of cultivation methods based on Meng Chao’s physical condition. They also made micro adjustments to the martial arts he was practicing, which made them more suitable for his physiological parameters and spirit meridian system.
The anonymous donor then included the basic cultivation method for Divine Nine Dragon Seals in the cultivation method they set for Meng Chao.
It was not the difficult, vague, and general stuff found everywhere in the teaching materials from the universities. Instead, it was a valuable book with a lot of affixes, notes, explanations, indexes, and pictures added to it.
Meng Chao had not expected that the anonymous donor would regard him so highly, so he could not let this person down. He decided to try it, and he practiced this martial art from half an hour up to an hour every day.
The book was indeed different from the general stuff found everywhere.
He felt as if he had received personal guidance from Battle God Lei Zongchao. His strength increased day by day, and he improved by leaps and bounds.
He spent a whole half a year on it, and his Skillfulness with Divine Nine Dragon Skills had already reached the legendary… Normal Level! His Skillfulness was at 66%!
What? This martial art was just too difficult, okay?
Even if the martial art had been deciphered to its very core in the book and he was given a lot of notes, even if Meng Chao once spent a lot of contribution points to push the Skillfulness up, and even if he trained and slaughtered monsters like a madman in the wild for days, he only understood the bare minimum of it and had not reached Specialist Level.
Speaking of which, even this minimal understanding made Meng Chao feel his physiological functions and spirit meridian system improving drastically. That was why he could fight against Ghost Eagle Song Yu, Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang, Corpse-eating Dog Du Ming, and Phantom Bear Xiong Wei head-on within the span of twenty-four hours, even though he was just a four-star superhuman. He had even withstood a powerful blow from a super crystal bomb and fought against the Vortex for a long period of time but still remained standing.
Divine Nine Dragon Seals was amazing, domineering, and invincible!
Hence, when Meng Chao wanted to instantly digest all the spirit energy forced into him by Hell’s Blood, he immediately remembered Battle God Lei Zongchao’s famous technique!
