Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain Chapter 2693 - 2692: Against the Heaven!

In Lin Dong's realm, time acquires a unique essence, every instant brimming with trials and possibilities.

Upon conquering the initial stage of the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique called Wind Escape, Lin Dong inhaled deeply, his eyes filled with resolve, poised to tackle the following trial—the Thunder Escape Technique.

The Thunder Escape, serving as the second stage of the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique, demands from the practitioner not just sharp awareness of natural forces but also the remarkable ability to convert the might of thunder and lightning into the Thunder Escape.

This presents a formidable challenge to all, particularly to Lin Dong, who remains a novice on this journey.

At first, Lin Dong tried to direct the sky's lightning toward his palm, yet he met with constant failures.

With every effort, the lightning acted like a playful imp, occasionally flashing before vanishing right away, unable to solidify into shape. Setbacks followed relentlessly, perspiration drenched Lin Dong's face, yet no sign of giving up appeared in his gaze.

The Little Winged Dragon hovered overhead around Lin Dong, its golden eyes reflecting intricate feelings. It had observed Lin Dong's progression from complete ignorance to swiftly dominating the Wind Escape Technique, feeling both astonishment and admiration deep inside.

Right then, watching Lin Dong grapple with the difficulties of the Thunder Escape Technique, the Little Winged Dragon couldn't resist chuckling as it spoke, "I told you, it’s not that easy to learn. But don’t be disheartened; you’ve already defied the heavens enough. After all, learning the first layer of Earth Dragon Treasure Technique in a few minutes, that’s already defying the heavens."

The Little Winged Dragon's remark blended a touch of mockery with encouragement, while also disclosing its acknowledgment of Lin Dong's remarkable talent.

Yet, right after its words landed, a power inside Lin Dong's form appeared to stir silently.

He shut his eyes, concentrated his thoughts, as though establishing a delicate harmony with the thunder and lightning across the heavens and earth. Upon reopening his eyes, a never-before-seen sparkle shone in Lin Dong's gaze.

This round, he avoided haste, instead gradually stretching out his hands, quietly chanting the Thunder Escape Technique's mantra within his mind.

Under his mental direction, the overhead clouds grew thicker, the thunder's roar more intense.

Abruptly, a minor bolt of lightning tore across the sky, striking precisely between Lin Dong's outstretched palms. In that instant, time appeared to halt; the lightning gathered in his palm, slowly shaping into a bluish-purple radiance of electricity.

The Little Winged Dragon's eyes bulged wide, its mouth agape, utterly dumbfounded. It refused to accept the sight before it.

Lin Dong had, in such a brief period, not only seized the essence of Thunder Escape—though not yet perfecting it—but had succeeded in summoning lightning to his grasp.

Now, all that remained was to channel the lightning into his body, evolve into thunder, and thus command Thunder Escape to traverse the land freely.

"How... how is this possible?" the Little Winged Dragon whispered, overwhelmed by amazement and confusion. It started to comprehend that Lin Dong truly held some exceptional aptitude, capable of surpassing ordinary boundaries and attaining realms beyond others' dreams.

Beneath the Little Winged Dragon's gaze of shock and incredulity, Lin Dong pressed on without pause; his spirit swelled with unmatched fervor and willpower.

Having already succeeded in pulling lightning to his hand, guiding it into his body and becoming thunder marked his immediate goal.

This represented not just an advancement in the second stage Thunder Escape Technique of the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique but also a bold leap beyond his own thresholds.

Lin Dong breathed in deeply, sealed his eyes, and devoted himself entirely to this groundbreaking endeavor.

He sensed the ambient air saturated with thunder and lightning's energy, as if each spark beckoned to him.

Directed by his will, a tiny lightning bolt cleaved the sky, drawn like by an unseen thread, descending straight to the crown of Lin Dong's head.

In this instant, the Little Winged Dragon grew so tense it nearly stopped breathing, dreading the sight of Lin Dong incinerated by the strike.

But another wonder unfolded. Lin Dong's physique generated an enigmatic vibration with the lightning; the bolt, potent enough to annihilate all, upon contact with his form, was softly drawn in, merging into his essence.

Lin Dong's figure started to glow with a subtle blue-violet hue, the signature shade of lightning, as if he had become thunder's herald, brimming with might and velocity.

At that juncture, he fully comprehended the profound essence of the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique's second stage, Thunder Escape.

"Earth Dragon Treasure Technique, achieved great accomplishment." Lin Dong exulted inwardly, this milestone filling him with unparalleled fulfillment and confidence.

Reaching great accomplishment in the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique granted him the prowess to evade even before Sub-Ancestor Level experts. Such strength lay beyond his prior imaginings.

To confirm his newfound power, Lin Dong acted without delay.

He initiated the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique's first stage, Wind Escape, rendering his body nearly invisible, merging seamlessly with his surroundings.

Building on Wind Escape, he harnessed the wind's force, incorporated lightning into his being, became thunder, then plunged into the earth, commencing swift subterranean movement.

Deep below the surface, Lin Dong morphed into the very spirit of wind and thunder, surmounting all barriers—be they solid stone or tangled subterranean streams—nothing impeded his path.

His velocity soared incredibly, exceeding tenfold the speed of sound, a pace even Sub-Ancestor Level entities couldn't match beneath the ground.

"Incredible, with the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique at great accomplishment, the vast world now lies open for my exploration." Lin Dong's heart rang with elation, this ability igniting boundless dreams and optimism for what lay ahead.

He understood that from now on, confronting Sub-Ancestor Level foes would no longer leave him helpless like prey awaiting slaughter.

Instead, he wielded the formidable strength to safeguard himself, even to alter his destiny.

...

Lin Dong gradually emerged from the profound depths underground; as his sight returned to the surface, spotting the Little Winged Dragon pawing at the soil with tiny claws, staring at him in awe, his mind jolted suddenly.

Approaching the Little Winged Dragon once more, he realized three full days had elapsed!

"Three days have passed, huh? This time, my learning feels a tad sluggish." Lin Dong muttered to himself, his voice carrying a hint of playful self-mockery.

He hadn't anticipated that refining the second stage of the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique would consume three days in a flash. For ordinary folks, such deep immersion and dedication bordered on the inconceivable.

The Little Winged Dragon, upon hearing this, trembled in the air, nearly tumbling down, its eyes bulging in utter disbelief.

It pondered silently: "Is this guy even human? In just three days, he advanced the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique from zero to the second stage's mastery, and still calls it slow? Be aware that even Earth Dragon powerhouses emulating the Earth Dragon Venerate require decades or longer to progressively conquer this mighty ability!"
