Chapter 734 - 732: Breaking Through Yellow Dao Five Stars
On this night, it was a peaceful sleep for most people. Except for Chen Tianlong, he couldn’t sleep, seeing the tense situation that could ignite at any moment, Chen Tianlong needed to constantly accelerate his cultivation, otherwise, he would be at risk of defeat. So he had to make use of every minute and second for training.
In the eyes of others, he was a genius, but in his own eyes, he was a laggard who needed to continuously work hard to keep up with others.
If not for his luck in possessing this heaven-defying Heart Method, he might just be among the lowest, struggling members of the cultivators.
But Chen Tianlong was mistaken, there were no ifs in reality, and in Fang Zun’s calculations, Chen Tianlong was like a pilgrim seeking scriptures from the Western Heaven, having to endure many hardships to reach that pinnacle.
If he were easily allowed to finish cultivating the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique, its power would certainly not meet the requirements.
At this moment, it was already 2 AM, yet Chen Tianlong was still diligently training, this young man, undeterred by hardships, only aimed to improve himself to protect the young lady and all those he cared for and loved.
"I want to become the king of the urban pinnacle, only then will I have the ability to protect those I wish to protect, and give them happiness and joy."
This was Chen Tianlong’s current thought, he had changed, becoming more responsible, more inclined to protect some people, and more appreciative of the life he currently had.
This is the transformation of a person, Chen Tianlong was about to turn twenty; twenty, such a precious age, he wanted to make it unforgettable as his youth fiercely burned.
Suddenly, Chen Tianlong felt his body heating up, and the sweat on his forehead started to increase gradually. At this moment, Chen Tianlong was stunned, then he responded immediately, this situation was familiar to him.
Yes!
Wasn’t it just like this when he broke through not long ago?
Thinking of this, Chen Tianlong was overjoyed instantly, he had felt his power at the peak of the Yellow Dao four-star realm a few days ago, could it be that he was going to break through again now?
Judging from the phenomena just now, it was undoubtedly time for a breakthrough.
While pondering this, his body started to change again because the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi from all directions was pouring in through the window, the night’s air was fresh, so the Spiritual Qi was relatively pure as well. Instantly, Chen Tianlong could feel a stream of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi surging into his whole body.
This time, he was more experienced and avoided much suffering; unlike the previous breakthroughs without experience, he constantly suppressed himself, causing significant discomfort. Although it was still painful now, it was much less so in comparison.
Gradually, droplets of sweat fell from Chen Tianlong’s forehead like raindrops, and his whole body turned as red as a boiled lobster.
Inside his body, the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique was operating at its extreme; the window flowers, under the rapid impact of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, made a shushing sound, like a gentle breeze softly blowing.
Suddenly, the window flowers changed from a shushing to a rushing sound; Chen Tianlong knew this was the final breakthrough moment, hence the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique accelerated to almost its extreme speed.
"Boom..."
Chen Tianlong heard a muffled sound within his body, symbolizing that his strength had breached another level, this was something to be happy about, but Chen Tianlong knew even with his Yellow Dao five-star strength, there was still a gap compared to those already matured at the five-star level.
However, Chen Tianlong still harbored some hope because Master Fang Yan had said, once he fully comprehended the Heart Method, his Flaming Frenzy Dragon Fist would unleash its power.
"Wow... Phew! Finally broke through again." Chen Tianlong took a deep breath and then stretched lazily. It was still only 3 AM, although Chen Tianlong was physically and mentally vigorous, he still needed some sleep.
So, he set the alarm clock to after 7 AM and started sleeping deeply, till the bright daylight. The next morning, before the alarm sounded, Chen Tianlong had already gotten up because he remembered something, which was his Flaming Frenzy Dragon Fist.
Chen Tianlong felt that learning this Martial Technique even one day earlier would yield more benefits. He had placed high hopes on it, after all, the Life-taking Three Needles had its drawbacks, the more advanced the opponent, the greater the pressure because their defense would become higher, if he couldn’t defeat them in one strike, then he would be the one getting defeated next.
The Life-taking Three Needles could only be used for stealth attacks, it couldn’t serve as the main technique to engage the opponent, and it had another drawback, which was the significant consumption of physical strength and Powerful Qi.
Especially after reaching mastery, releasing twenty-seven silver needles, each carrying substantial Powerful Qi, it would easily deplete the Qi within the body.
It’s like gambling, without special circumstances, Chen Tianlong didn’t intend to use them. Hence, he was quite anticipating the cultivation technique paired with the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique.
He checked his phone, it was only 6 AM, the sky outside had just started to brighten. Without the urge to sleep, Chen Tianlong began to cultivate the Heart Method of the Flaming Frenzy Dragon Fist.
A few minutes later, Chen Tianlong simulated the moves in his mind several times based on the illustrated movements, then he steadied his legs apart, assuming a horse stance. After all, all martial arts emphasize building a good foundation, and Chen Tianlong believed stabilizing the horse stance was the most basic principle of learning martial arts.
"Huh..."
After a light exclamation, Chen Tianlong executed the first form of the Flaming Frenzy Dragon Fist, a fist instantly surged straight forward with phenomenal speed.
Chen Tianlong could never have imagined that such a simple move, combined with this Heart Method and the moves, could produce such a distinct effect.
If it were just with raw strength to punch, it surely wouldn’t have the same speed and power, now it had roughly doubled. But Chen Tianlong still felt this punch hadn’t reached mastery, feeling like something hadn’t been unleashed.
To verify if it was mastery, Chen Tianlong decided to try again.
Repeating the previous movements, but deliberately speeding up the execution, the scene that followed left Chen Tianlong astonished because he discovered that his fist had actually transformed into a shadow resembling his own skin tone, dashing straight ahead.
Although it disappeared midway, the range of attack still felt short.
Even though Chen Tianlong was surprised, he still calmly pondered. Earlier, by speeding up, he could produce a shadow, what if he increased the power, wouldn’t other effects follow?
No sooner thought than done, Chen Tianlong wasted no time, his eagerness was unstoppable, he glanced around, spotting a stool next to the wardrobe.
After some thought, he decided it was better to aim at it, just in case he accidentally unleashed a powerful attack, it would avoid damaging the whole room.
Bear in mind, this was a villa, renovating it would cost a fortune, although Chen Tianlong felt he wasn’t short of money, it would still be a waste.
