Cultivation Starts from Farming Chapter 912 - 401: Dragon Blood Fruit Ripens; Great Achievement in Soaring Dragon Technique (3)
Previously on Cultivation Starts from Farming...
The strike unleashed a horrifying force, as though imbued with the True Dragon Shaking the World Power.
The sturdy restrictive barrier within the secret chamber shuddered along its boundaries, rippling fiercely while issuing a droning wail.
Xu Ping sensed that should a Tier Four Middle Grade Demon Beast stand in the path at this moment, the Dragon Technique laced with dragon might would smash it apart, leaving shattered bones, grave injuries, and teetering on the brink of death.
Whoosh!
Blood light converged, and Xu Ping’s form took solid shape once more at the secret chamber’s heart, gradually relaxing his posture.
The ferocious, ripping aura encircling him swiftly withdrew and vanished, like everything prior had been mere hallucination.
Yet the spark of delight shining in Xu Ping’s gaze was utterly real.
"Unexpectedly... after blending dragon might into the Dragon Technique, it yielded such a stunning result, boosting power and speed by over half a level!"
"This is truly an unexpected joy!"
For Xu Ping, dragon might offered scant combat utility, so he had never focused on cultivating it deliberately.
To his astonishment, a flash of insight today prompted him to merge it with the dragon-intent Dragon Technique, sparking an incredibly potent synergy.
With a mere thought, he summoned the familiar proficiency interface.
[Dragon Technique (Minor Achievement): 712/800]
...
"Eighty-eight more proficiency points, and it can breakthrough to the realm of Perfection."
"At this speed, no more than three or four years of hard cultivation would be needed to achieve it!" A flicker of eager anticipation gleamed in Xu Ping’s eyes.
Already, the Dragon Technique empowered by dragon might wielded such formidable might.
Upon attaining Perfection, his command of speed, explosiveness, and that devastating "True Dragon Impact" force would soar to new heights.
By then, both his close-quarters fighting prowess and evasion skills would surge dramatically.
"It’s soon!"
Xu Ping dismissed the panel, reined in his thrill, and resumed drilling the Dragon Technique inside the secret chamber.
Even with initial fusion success, numerous fine details demanded refinement to reach the seamless, instinctive ideal form.
His body morphed back into dragon shape, darting and twisting through the cramped space, deeply pondering the flawless integration of dragon might with vitality, mana, and footwork.
...
Time sped by in a blur, with four additional years slipping away.
From the depths of the underground cave mansion erupted a crisp, thunderous dragon roar, slicing through multiple layers of restrictions to echo without end!
A strikingly vivid phantom of a true dragon—clad in fearsome scales, razor claws, and carved entirely from blood jade—hurtled at a speed that nearly tore space, swiftly weaving and coiling through the cave mansion’s tight confines.
Its velocity defied the eye’s pursuit, resembling blood-hued lightning that flickered and bounded ceaselessly.
Dragon might fused flawlessly with the escape technique, transcending simple summation to evolve into a superior evasion art infused with true dragon essence.
Unclear how much time elapsed.
Abruptly, the blood glow ceased.
The true dragon phantom faded away, revealing Xu Ping’s figure, his face alight with uncontainable joy.
"Dragon Technique... Perfection!"
Smooth and effortless came the breakthrough!
Xu Ping reveled in the supreme delight of fluid, masterful control over his surging vitality and mana, plus sharper spatial mastery, relishing the sensation immensely.
"Speed, burst, impact, flexibility... all aspects have elevated significantly!"
"Ordinary Late-Stage Nascent Soul Cultivators, without special escape techniques or Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasures, might not even catch my shadow!"
"My melee combat power might also reach the Late-Stage Nascent Soul level!" Xu Ping overflowed with assurance.
The primordial powerhouse who devised the Dragon Technique likely never foresaw it.
A Mid-Stage Nascent Soul cultivator, armed with vitality and mana vastly outstripping contemporaries plus distinctive dragon might amplification, could propel this escape art to awe-striking potency well beyond its bounds.
"If one day... the Dragon Technique can breakthrough to the realm of Perfection..."
Xu Ping’s eyes blazed with fervor, "Then in this outer sea area, among the Late-Stage Nascent Soul level, those who can compete with me in speed might truly be few and far between!"
"And this dragon might..."
Xu Ping’s mind raced once more, "If dragon might can further strengthen, become more pure, could the power of the Dragon Technique surge again?"
Should such enhancement prove possible, perhaps one day it could rival the escape arts of Divinity Transformation Cultivators.
But soon, Xu Ping furrowed his eyebrows slightly.
Boosting dragon might is no easy feat.
After all, as a member of the human race, dragon might derived from external sources comes with clear limitations.
While Dragon Blood Fruit can strengthen it, the effects will gradually diminish, and by the time his body refining attains the Peak of Tier Four Middle Grade, it may scarcely boost dragon might any further.
"This is truly a challenge..." A contemplative gleam flashed across Xu Ping’s eyes.
Amplifying dragon might within a human body pushes the boundaries, rendering ordinary cultivation techniques and secret arts completely ineffective.
"It seems that..."
"I’ll have to ask Jin Yu later if there are any rare treasures on the True Dragon Hall’s reward list, or among the demon race, capable of refining or amplifying the dragon bloodline’s aura." Xu Ping made a mental note of this.
Should they be available for exchange, taking down a few Tier Four ancient demons in trade would pose no issue.
....
With his aura suppressed and the thrill of mastering the Dragon Technique quelled, Xu Ping emerged from the secluded chamber and headed to the Blood Bone Hall.
At that precise instant—
From Duan Shuang’s secluded cultivation site, a formidable yet slightly erratic surge of divine sense exploded outward, instantly blanketing the entire Blood Bone Island.
This divine sense strength had remarkably shattered an unseen threshold, ascending to a fresh height—Mid-Stage Nascent Soul!
"Hmm?"
Xu Ping halted in his tracks, a spark of astonishment and joy lighting up his eyes. "This is... Shuang’er’s divine sense, breaking through to Mid-Stage Nascent Soul?"
Today brings double cause for celebration!
Duan Shuang’s swift advancement stems primarily from her Pure Yin Body and the arcane marvels of the "Thousand Mechanism Skill".
However, the spiritual exchanges during their regular dual cultivation, coupled with Xu Ping’s potent divine sense infusion and guidance, undoubtedly contributed immensely.
This rate of divine sense progress sets her apart as an extreme rarity among Early-Stage Nascent Soul cultivators.
Xu Ping chose not to interrupt her immediately; he stood silently in the hall, serving as her steadfast guardian.
Although the breakthrough succeeded, additional time remains essential to solidify the realm.
