Chapter 142: Earth Tier Body Technique

Chapter 142: Chapter 142: Earth Tier Body Technique

After a moment of shock, the crowd gasped in unison. The disciples’ gazes were now filled with reverence as they looked at Yi Xiaoyao.

The Seven Kills Star Hall had another rising star.

The Hidden Dragon List had gained another prodigy who had mastered "Momentum." What’s more, despite his Sword Momentum only being at the Minor Success stage, he had defeated the tenth-ranked expert, who wielded Great Success Sword Momentum.

The Black Robe Hall Master was stunned for a moment before he recovered and said to Yi Xiaoyao, "Come with me."

Yi Xiaoyao agreed, but his gaze fell upon Yun Mengling, who was standing not far away, her beautiful eyes shining with a brilliant light as she watched him.

The two exchanged a smile, and then Yi Xiaoyao followed the Hall Master.

In the pavilion, the Hall Master stared at Yi Xiaoyao, speechless for a long moment. He had seen too many miracles from the young man before him.

"Hall Master?"

Yi Xiaoyao prompted.

The Black Robe Hall Master was startled, finally snapping out of his daze. He took out a Jade Slip and a Sword Scabbard and handed them over.

"I had originally planned to give you these two items later, but your progress has been far too rapid. I’ll give them to you now."

Curious, Yi Xiaoyao took them.

The next instant.

BOOM!

The moment he took hold of the Sword Scabbard, his entire body felt as if it were being crushed by a giant mountain, and he slammed down onto one knee.

"This Sword Scabbard... it’s so heavy!"

Yi Xiaoyao exclaimed in shock. Gritting his teeth, he gripped the Sword Scabbard and slowly forced himself back to his feet, examining it with astonishment.

The Sword Scabbard was forged from some kind of black stone, emitting a dark gleam. The crucial thing was its incredible weight—nearly a million pounds!

The Black Robe Hall Master smiled. "This is a piece of the Heavy Star Magnetic Meteorite from the Cultivation Tower. I had a Sword Scabbard forged for you to use for your Body Refining."

Yi Xiaoyao finally understood. So it came from the Cultivation Tower, which was filled with Gravity and Magnetism. No wonder the Sword Scabbard contained such a powerful force of Gravity and Magnetism; it was just sealed within, not radiating outward.

’Carrying this Sword Scabbard on my back would indeed be an effective way to train my body.’

"Thank you, Hall Master!"

Yi Xiaoyao said, holding the Sword Scabbard with immense effort as he cupped his fist in gratitude.

"Now, take a look at the Jade Slip," the Hall Master said with a faint smile.

Yi Xiaoyao nodded, opened the Jade Slip, and his face immediately lit up with joy.

"The Nine Heavens Dragon Soaring Technique, Volume Two!"

The Jade Slip recorded the second volume of the Nine Heavens Dragon Soaring Technique, and it was an Earth Tier Spiritual Skill, a testament to its immense value.

"Correct. This is the ultimate treasure left behind by the first-generation Hall Master, and it is the only Earth Tier Spiritual Skill in our Seven Kills Star Hall."

The Black Robe Hall Master smiled in gratification. "When I had you choose the first volume of the Nine Heavens Dragon Soaring Technique, I already intended to give you this second volume in the future. I just never expected this day to come so quickly."

Yi Xiaoyao was greatly shocked. ’This is the ultimate treasure of the hall!’ The Hall Master was actually entrusting him with something so precious. His gratitude was beyond words, and he could only cup his fist once more to express his thanks.

The Black Robe Hall Master gave a faint smile, then suddenly changed the subject. "By the way, your little girlfriend just asked me about the whereabouts of a Bright Light Saint Sparrow Demon Pill. I do, in fact, know where to find one, but I didn’t tell her."

"Ling’Er? A Bright Light Saint Sparrow Demon Pill? Why didn’t you tell her, Hall Master?" Yi Xiaoyao was completely bewildered.

"Haha, you silly boy. The Asura Arena has a Bright Light Saint Sparrow Demon Pill. Now that I’ve told you, you know what to do next, don’t you?" the Hall Master laughed heartily.

Yi Xiaoyao finally understood. The Hall Master hadn’t told Yun Mengling but had told him instead. He was creating an opportunity for Yi Xiaoyao to obtain the Demon Core and give it to Yun Mengling.

The Hall Master then told him some more information about the Asura Arena.

The Asura Arena was the largest battle-wagering venue in the Great Shang Dynasty. Its power was in no way inferior to the Cloud Transformation Sect or the Seven Kills Star Hall, and it maintained a neutral stance, allowing anyone from both righteous and demonic factions to participate in the wagered battles, as long as they had the money and the strength.

The Bright Light Saint Sparrow was an extremely rare Light Attribute Demon Beast, a fourth-tier Demon Beast comparable to the Nascent Soul Realm. One could only imagine the value of its Demon Core. And now, the Asura Arena was offering it as a prize for the victor.

"Thank you, Hall Master! I’ll go get the Demon Core right away!"

After thanking him, Yi Xiaoyao disappeared in a flash.

After returning to his residence, Yi Xiaoyao didn’t rush to the Asura Arena. Instead, he began to study the second volume of the Nine Heavens Dragon Soaring Technique.

’The Asura Arena is extremely dangerous. If I can master this Earth Tier Body Technique Spiritual Skill, my chances of survival will be much higher.’

The second volume of the Nine Heavens Dragon Soaring Technique was also divided into three stages: Minor Success, Great Success, and Peak. These corresponded to the low-tier, mid-tier, and high-tier ranks of the Earth Tier.

However, to cultivate and advance the second volume, one needed the Essence Blood of a Demon Beast that possessed a True Dragon Bloodline.

Seeing this requirement, Yi Xiaoyao’s heart leaped with joy.

He still had more than half of the Red Ape Great Demon’s Essence Blood within him—which was a genuine Dragon Ape bloodline!

With this in mind, Yi Xiaoyao began to refine the Dragon Ape Essence Blood according to the instructions in the second volume.

During the refining process, the mass of Essence Blood continuously released a stream of energy that merged into Yi Xiaoyao’s body.

BUZZ!

A ripple of power surged forth. As the last of the Essence Blood was refined and disappeared, the resulting energy instantly helped Yi Xiaoyao break through to the Golden Core Second Realm.

"A breakthrough!"

A pleased expression crossed Yi Xiaoyao’s face, but he knew the real surprise didn’t end there.

The next moment, a draconic phantom image appeared on the surface of Yi Xiaoyao’s body. This was the sign of reaching Minor Success with the second volume. Only when he could coalesce three such draconic phantoms would he be considered at the peak stage.

Then, with a single movement, the dragon phantom soared and a dragon’s roar echoed as he instantly appeared thousands of yards outside his room.

The entire process was like teleportation; the speed was so fast that even Yi Xiaoyao himself could hardly believe it.

’So this is the power of an Earth Tier Body Technique Spiritual Skill. Even if I face an enemy at the Golden Core Eighth Layer and can’t defeat them, I can still easily escape with this speed. And against anyone below the Golden Core Seventh Layer, I can toy with them as I please.’

Although Yi Xiaoyao’s cultivation level wasn’t high, he possessed an arsenal of powerful Spiritual Skills that would even make top-tier experts in the Nascent Soul Realm feel inadequate.

With another flicker of movement, Yi Xiaoyao instantly returned to his room. He strapped the Heavy Meteor Sword Sheath to his back, inserted the Bloodthirsty Sword into it, and slowly walked out.

Now that he had mastered the second volume of the Nine Heavens Dragon Soaring Technique, his movements were still agile and free even while carrying the Heavy Meteor Sword Sheath. No one would ever guess that the scabbard weighed a million pounds.

Before heading to the Asura Arena, Yi Xiaoyao first went to Yun Mengling’s residence.

"Ling’Er, I heard you need a Bright Light Saint Sparrow Demon Pill?"

Yi Xiaoyao asked with a smile, getting straight to the point after seeing Yun Mengling.

Yun Mengling pursed her lips and said, "Yes. You’ve already comprehended Sword Momentum, so I have to hurry up too. The Bright Light Saint Sparrow Demon Pill would be a great help for me to comprehend Momentum."

Yi Xiaoyao nodded. He didn’t say outright that he would help her, but he secretly made a vow. He was determined to get anything Yun Mengling wanted.
