Chapter 278: Section 66: King’s Land Fighting Energy Technique
Justice, in the bow’s cabin.
“Left, a bit more to the left.”
“Slow down, don’t rush, my son.”
“Good, just maintain that, and cycle it through once.”
“Don’t be afraid, Daddy’s here.”
The Dragon-man youth kept speaking gently, reminding and guiding the Big guy in his cultivation of fighting energy techniques.
...
This was not the first time the Dragon-man youth had guided the cultivation process.
Ever since leaving White Wings Port, almost every day, the Dragon-man youth had taken time out of his schedule to teach the Big guy.
The Combat Skill the Big guy was cultivating was named King Earth Technique, which had a very high hierarchy, capable of taking an ordinary person from Bronze to God level.
Naturally, the King Earth Technique was obtained from Hao Fu.
Hao Fu, worthy of being a bishop in charge of a territory, had relatively high authority within the sect. When he failed to recruit the Dragon-man youth, he chose to continue collaborating with him.
In anyone’s eyes: a divine-grade Bloodline, a Legendary-grade Bloodline, the future was bright and promising. It was indeed worth the investment.
Hao Fu was not embarrassed by his recruitment failure.
For one, it was because of a life-saving favor. Secondly, as a bishop, Hao Fu was certainly not the kind of person who would get discouraged by a single failure.
The King Earth Technique was one of his sponsorships.
The biggest reason the Dragon-man youth chose this fighting energy technique was its simplicity!
The circulation route for the fighting energy of the King Earth Technique was very simple, embodying a wisdom that seemed foolish and an archaic simplicity.
The Dragon-man youth well understood that with the Big guy’s intellect, it immediately ruled out the vast majority of fighting energy techniques in the world.
The King Earth Technique was the most concise fighting energy technique known to the Dragon-man youth. Or to put it more dramatically, one of the simplest fighting energy techniques in the world.
However, even so, the Dragon-man youth had to teach him hand-to-hand, and it had taken the Big guy over seven days to finally complete three cycles of fighting energy circulation on his own today.
He had truly mastered the method of cultivating this fighting energy technique.
“Very good… very good!” The Dragon-man youth wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead, relieved to see the Big guy finally reaching this step.
The son was too dumb!
Too difficult to teach.
But fortunately, the Big guy was very obedient and listened well to him.
With the Dragon-man youth’s full patience and constant encouragement, he finally did it.
“Truly a good son of Daddy’s.” The Dragon-man youth patted the Big guy’s head.
The Big guy chuckled goofily, thoroughly enjoying such a reward.
He was very excited, “Daddy, I can help you beat up the bad guys now!”
The Dragon-man youth smiled slightly and took out a piece of Earth Element essence: “Right now, you are only at the Bronze Level of fighters, you need to be stronger. Here, eat this.”
The Big guy was stunned; you couldn’t eat this thing. But he trusted the Dragon-man youth completely and picked up the Earth Element essence to put into his mouth.
The Dragon-man youth quickly reached out to stop him: “Not like that.”
“Use your fighting energy, the circulation method I just taught you.”
“Hold this piece of Earth Element essence in your hand.”
Following the Dragon-man youth’s instructions, the Big guy cycled his fighting energy, circulating it continuously.
The fighting energy gradually emitted from his palms, infusing into the Earth Element essence.
The Earth Element essence slowly dissolved in the Big guy’s palm, turning into a mix of flowing water and light, which, under the guidance of the King Earth fighting energy, permeated into the Big guy’s body.
Part of the mixture fully integrated with the fighting energy, adding a new Bronze fighting energy to the Big guy, while the rest turned into nutrients, completely absorbed by his body.
“Not bad at all.” After the Big guy “ate” the Earth Element essence, the Dragon-man youth checked his body again, and found no problems.
“You shall cultivate like this from now on, understand?”
The Big guy nodded repeatedly: “Daddy, I remember!”
The cultivation process of the King Earth Technique was that simple, its speed could be fast and also slow.
Because this kind of fighting energy heavily relied on external resource supplementation.
The usual fighting energy, like the Dragon-man youth’s Blast Fighting energy, required him to, through specific training movements, stimulate the emergence of new fighting energy from within the body.
But the King Earth Technique, in addition to the natural growth and replenishment of fighting energy from the body itself, could also directly improve by utilizing external Earth Element resources.
As long as there were enough Earth Element resources, the big guy’s cultivation speed would be very fast.
However, Earth Element resources weren’t just about quantity, and more didn’t necessarily mean better. Currently, the big guy was at the Bronze Level and “eating” Bronze Level Earth Element resources was sufficient. That was all he could absorb.
In the hands of the Dragon-man youth, there was some Gold Level rubbery earth, but at this time it was of no use to the big guy; he simply couldn’t absorb it.
“From Bishop Hao Fu, we’ve received a large amount of Bronze Level Earth Element resources, enough to last the big guy quite a while,” he said.
“But for King Earth Technique, he only gave us a small portion.”
“Anyway, the big guy’s training has finally gotten on the right track,” he said.
With a sense of relief, the Dragon-man youth left the bow tower, descended to the first deck, and entered the training room.
He began his own cultivation.
Facing the hanging giant sandbag, the Dragon-man youth executed a Combat Skill.
Combat Skill—Dragon Claw Strike!
He stirred up his fighting energy, swung his claw, and instantly a small portion of Fighting Energy was consumed, turning into four reddish-brown claw marks.
The claw marks, like knives, slashed onto the sandbag.
Immediately, four indentations appeared on the surface of the sandbag, which was sent fluttering back slightly.
But quickly, the sandbag swung back to its original position, and the indentations vanished.
This was a red bean sandbag that the youth had traded for last time from the Empire, graded at the Silver Level.
Its filling was made of Silver Level flame-red beans, refined through alchemy, making the sandbag a seamless whole. When the Dragon Claw Strike hit it, the force was immediately dispersed into each of the flame-red beans, getting absorbed by them.
If it were the old sandbag, it would have already been destroyed by the Combat Skill, but this red bean sandbag could withstand it.
“This Combat Skill has been mastered, but it requires much more practice to reduce the time needed for preparation as much as possible.”
During this time, aside from the Dragon Claw Strike, the Dragon-man youth also mastered Flame Burst and successfully executed it several times.
Combat Skill Flame Burst was extremely powerful, but it had one major drawback—each execution would consume nearly all of the youth’s Blast Fighting Spirit.
The Dragon-man youth tried to control it, attempting to use only a portion of his fighting energy to prepare for the Flame Burst each time.
But he never succeeded.
Once the Combat Skill was ready, all the fighting energy would be completely drawn out and then burst forth in a huge outpouring.
The Dragon-man youth focused on practicing the Dragon Claw Strike.
After all, there was little progress with the Flame Burst Technique for the time being, and its tactical position overlapped somewhat with the fiery Dragon Breath.
Both were decisive finishing moves, powerful, but with significant drawbacks. Using them in actual combat required the right opportunity.
Having mastered and improved the fiery Dragon Breath, the Dragon-man youth’s need for the Flame Burst Technique wasn’t high.
Instead, the Dragon Claw Strike Combat Skill filled the gap of long-range Combat Skills for the Dragon-man youth. Although its power was far less than Flame Burst’s, it could be used frequently and had very high flexibility.
Investing time and energy in this Combat Skill would yield much greater results than the Flame Burst.
Of course, this Dragon Claw Strike Combat Skill was also funded by Bishop Hao Fu.
After three days at sea, Cang Xu led the Silver Hook and six other ships to join up with the Justice.
The Empire’s secret harbor was indeed powerful, swiftly repairing all the ships that had suffered significant battle damage, including the Silver Hook.
Moreover, following Mu Ban’s suggestions, Cang Xu added many new components to the ships.
Among them, the Silver Hook was armed with a Golden Cannon.
This cannon, of course, was not traded from the Empire.
The contribution the Justice Pirate Group received from defeating the Gold and Silver brothers was mostly used for the promotion of privileges.
The source of the Golden Cannon was Mysterious Monster Island.
Because of the victory over the Gold and Silver brothers, and the subsequent connection with Bishop Hao Fu, the Justice Pirate Group took the opportunity to publicly display this Golden Cannon.
In addition to this, Cang Xu had purchased a new ship from the Empire.
The new ship was also powered by demon energy, but it was only at the Bronze Level.
It had many cabins, and its combat power was extremely low; it was a classic supply ship.
The Justice Pirate Group now had a total of ten warships, with more than a thousand sailors and crew members. Supply had become a burden.
Adding a supply ship was just what was needed.
After sailing for another three days, they arrived at the Sky Pillar Sea Eye.
This was the second most suspicious place on the map obtained from the island chambers.
Previously at the Magnetic Islands, they hadn’t discovered the temple of the Mei Lan god. After experiencing the big guy’s life-and-death crisis and defeating the Gold and Silver brotherhood, they had come here, hoping to make a discovery.
