Previously on Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain...
The wise glow in the Little Winged Dragon's golden eyes sparkled as it announced: "Human kid, I'll grant you a chance, but hear this first—you're certain not to succeed in learning it!"
"I claim humans can't seize the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique because its core relies on wind, fire, and thunder."
"To Earth Dragons, these three represent natural gifts. From youth, they detect and wield these forces of nature. Yet, simple awareness falls short by a mile. Achieving command over the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique demands vast wisdom and keen perception across these three avenues."
"That's precisely why, even among the Earth Dragon Clan, only those destined for Earth Dragon Emperor or Earth Dragon Venerate status can hope to grasp and wield this pinnacle technique. This explains my lack of faith in you."
As the Little Winged Dragon's speech trailed off, a sudden blaze ignited in Lin Dong's gaze, while an overwhelming aura erupted from deep inside him.
Drawing in a steady breath, he attuned himself to the wind essence circulating through the heavens and earth, then a razor-sharp Sword Intent rocketed upward, marking a profound realization of the Wind Technique—the Third Layer of the Sword Intent of Wind!
"I've reached this stage with my Wind Sword Intent. Does it suffice?" Lin Dong spoke with steady resolve, his words brimming with unshakeable assurance that raged like a tempest.
With those words, a shadowy blade crafted entirely from wind force sliced a dazzling path through the sky, the purest expression of the Wind Technique, showcasing Lin Dong's mastery over wind elements.
Wow!
Right then, the Little Winged Dragon's golden eyes bulged in astonishment, struggling to accept what it witnessed.
Lin Dong's Wind Sword Intent had climbed to the Third Layer realm, boasting such clarity and might that not even an Earth Dragon like itself could dismiss it lightly.
A wave of unparalleled amazement flooded the Little Winged Dragon's mind; it had never encountered a human displaying such deep grasp and dominance of the Wind Technique.
"This... how can this be!" Disbelief colored the Little Winged Dragon's tone as it sized up Lin Dong anew, as if seeing this human truly for the first time.
Lin Dong's feat dismantled its long-held views on humans and unveiled boundless new potentials.
In that instant, Lin Dong demonstrated his aptitude and resolve through deeds, starting to erode the Little Winged Dragon's biases.
After a brief pause, it pressed on:
"You've only shown the Wind Technique; mastering the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique requires the Thunder Dao and the Path of Fire too."
Traces of gravity and respect lingered in the Little Winged Dragon's gaze; it knew full well the depth and rarity of the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique, along with the stringent prerequisites for claiming such heavenly arts.
But before it could complete its thought, the sight unfolding stunned it speechless.
Lin Dong's form appeared to blend seamlessly with the cosmos, his aura shifting abruptly.
Initially came the Third Layer of Thunder Sword Intent, thundering like furious gales, amid crackling bolts and peals, with Sword Light flashing, unleashing dread force that could rend the void.
Then followed the Third Level of Fire Sword Intent, where flames erupted fiercely, scorching beyond measure, as if able to incinerate all things, the blade's edge thrusting forward, setting the atmosphere ablaze into a blazing inferno.
At that point, the Little Winged Dragon stood completely dazed, its tiny eyes brimming with incredulity.
Muttering under its breath, its words mixed shock with a hint of wild conjecture: "This human kid defies the heavens too much, doesn't he? Heavens, could he be a Dragon Venerate in disguise? How else could he command these three mighty Daos at once, with such profound insight?"
Though whispered softly, its voice overflowed with awe and bafflement at Lin Dong's prowess.
Lin Dong sensed the rush of his three Sword Intents pulsing inside, filling him with unmatched certainty.
He gradually withdrew his Sword Momentum, fixing a steady look on the Little Winged Dragon, his voice laced with question and eagerness: "Am I ready to learn the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique now?"
Snapping back from its stupor, the Little Winged Dragon appraised Lin Dong once more, its little wings fluttering instinctively, as though soothing the turmoil in its soul.
After a few beats, it gave a nod, its tone rich with sincere respect: "Fine, your gifts and steadfastness surpass what I envisioned. Having conquered the three realms of wind, fire, and thunder, you truly deserve to study the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique."
Hearing that, Lin Dong brimmed with excitement mixed with slight apprehension, like venturing into uncharted territory, where the gateway rested with this timeless, mighty being ahead.
"Human kid, don't think I'm overstating. Your talent stands out as exceptional, grasping the three paths of wind, fire, and thunder so young, each shining as brightly as a Dragon Venerate's, that's a wonder in itself. Yet, acquiring the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique hinges on your destiny!"
The Little Winged Dragon's words resonated deeply and captivatingly, each syllable pounding like thunder in Lin Dong's chest, rippling through his thoughts.
Lin Dong inhaled deeply, his eyes resolute: "I get it, senior. Whatever lies ahead, I'm prepared to face it."
The Little Winged Dragon inclined its head, a flicker of approval in its eyes: "Excellent, that resolve means you've won half the battle. The Earth Dragon Treasure Technique forms the heirloom art of the Earth Dragon Clan. It's more than mere combat skill—it's the supreme harnessing of Earth Dragon bloodline essence. Once grasped, your velocity will skyrocket!"
As its explanation ended, a brilliant Spiritual Light burst forth around the Little Winged Dragon, infused with archaic and enigmatic energy, as if bridging eras to reach the primal source of strength.
It extended its front claw leisurely, its claw tip brushing the emptiness, summoning intricate runes that traced stellar paths, crafting mesmerizing visions.
"Here lies the practice method for the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique. It captures the Earth Dragon Clan's deep grasp of cosmic principles. You must feel it with your spirit, harmonize with your essence, to slowly claim it." The Little Winged Dragon's guidance rang softly by Lin Dong's ears, drawing him into contemplation.
Lin Dong shut his eyes and concentrated, plunging his spirit fully into those timeless runes. He started probing them with his mind, sensing the secrets they concealed.
Initially, obscurity clouded everything, hard to fathom, but with time, he seized faint shifts, the runes beginning to vibrate in sync with his soul.
Through this journey, Lin Dong endured myriad setbacks and restarts, each refining his insight into the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique.
His physique evolved amid persistent efforts, sinews growing tougher, subtle Dragon Roars rumbling from his frame, signaling bloodline stirrings.
After an unknowable span, when Lin Dong's eyes reopened, they shone with clarity, as if renewed by inner purification.
He rose steadily, enveloped in subtle Spiritual Light.
Witnessing this, the Little Winged Dragon bobbed its head approvingly and stated: "You've taken in the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique's practice method! Now, it all rests on how deeply you can advance!"
