Chapter 98 - Ch 98: Improvement, Dragon's Claws
The moment Ye Xiao felt danger coming his way and it something was about to touch his neck, he immediately entered into the world of the Heavenly Pearl.
This way he manage to avoid the fatal attack from an unknown enemy. He did know who it was that ambushed him but he knew that the person was the same one who murdered the other four Origin Core Realm martial artists cruelly.
Ye Xiao knew that since that person can murder four Origin Core Realm martial artists so easily, it means that he himself was at least the Peak Origin Core Realm martial artist. There is also a possibility of that person being a Martial King Realm martial artist.
Either the condition being true, Ye Xiao did not wanted to face that person as he knew that he could not win. Ye Xiao thought that he will cultivate in the Nine Story pagoda for now.
He immediately arrived in front of the Nine Story Pagoda.
Sometime later, Ye Xiao was sitting on the first floor of the Nine Story Pagoda and circulating the First Layer of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique.
He was still far away from completely cultivating the First Layer of he Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique so he decided to cultivate to the Peak of the First Layer of this cultivation technique of his.
.....
Outside, that short and skinny man was searching around him for Ye Xiao carefully. He searched for a very long time but still failed to find Ye Xiao.
"Damn bastard, do you really think that you can hide from me. Come out now. If you give me that secret technique or treasure of yours that made you invisible and vow to serve me, I will let you live." That short and skinny man shouted. He was feeling annoyed that even after searching for a very long time he failed to find Ye Xiao.
When Ye Xiao first disappeared suddenly in front of him, he was shocked and when he calmed himself down, he started to look for Ye Xiao every where. He did not believe that Ye Xiao had already left after disappearing. He thought that Ye Xiao definitely have a secret technique or a treasure that can make a person invisible.
So, according to him, Ye Xiao was still here and he was also still invisible. The short and skinny person believed that Ye Xiao dare not leave this place because if Ye Xiao dare to move even slightly, he can discover Ye Xiao.
His eyes became red from greed when he thought about a treasure and secret technique that can make him invisible. If he had such technique or treasure, how awesome that would be.
"Little brat, I am telling you to come out now. If you don't came out and I discovered you on my own then at that time, even if you will give me your secret technique or treasure, I will still kill you." When the short and skinny man saw that even after calling Ye Xiao for a long time, there was no respond coming from the surrounding, he immediately became angry and shouted in anger.
"BOOM!"
He punched the ground with his full strength in anger. A loud explosion sound echoed there and dust started to flew everywhere. That short and skinny man perked his ears trying to listen any suspicious noise so that he can find Ye Xiao but he was again disappointed.
When the dust was settled down, one could see a very large and deep pit at the place where the short and skinny man punched a while ago. From this it could be seen that Ye Xiao was right about the short and skinny man being a very powerful martial artist.
"Little brat, let me tell you, I am also very stubborn. Now I will sit and wait here. Let me see how long can you hold and not come out. I don't believe that you have infinite spirit energy to continue being invisible." Seeing that Ye Xiao was not coming out, that short and skinny man shouted again and sat down on a rough stone, waiting for Ye Xiao to consume all of his spirit energy. At that time, Ye Xiao will definitely appear and he can then catch Ye Xiao and take that whatever treasure of secret technique from him. After that he will chop Ye Xiao into hundred pieces and feed him to the magical beasts.
.....
It is been almost three days now since Ye Xiao started cultivating on the first floor of the Nine Story Pagoda.
Inside the first floor of the Nine Story Pagoda, three days was equal to one day outside. Ye Xiao was cultivating for almost three days means that one day was almost over outside. That short and skinny man waited for him for the entire day only to be disappointed. But still he did not give up and continue to wait.
Ye Xiao did not feel the passing of time. He fell into the deep cultivation where he was free from any other thoughts or outer disturbance. It was also the benefit of cultivating inside the Nine Story pagoda. One can forget everything here and can easily fell into deep cultivation. This way they can even have epiphany about the cultivation and can gain a big one from cultivating here.
Since he was cultivating the First Layer of The Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique, inside his sea of consciousness, The Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon was also changing and it was becoming much and much sturdier.
Before when The Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon was first formed, there was no horns on his head but now there was a pair of small dragon horn growing on its head.
Before it was only around 10 meter long but now it was almost double the size, 20 meters long.
Time was slowly passing.
One day passed.
Two days passed.
Three days...
Four days...
.....
.....
Suddenly a mad laugher echoed throughout the entire first floor of the Nine Story Pagoda.
"Hahahahaha!!"
"Hahahahaha!!"
Obviously, it was Ye Xiao who was laughing like a mad man.
He did not knew how long he had cultivated but when he opened his eyes, he realized that there was big difference now in The Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon from before.
Not only The Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon is now 100 meter long, Its pair of horn also grew much longer. Now it looked like a mature dragon.
Ye Xiao looked at it and laughed as he realized that he gained another ability of the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon.
He realized that now he can turn both of his hands into dragon claws.
It was obviously the claws of The Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon. When his hand turns into the dragon claws then his hand's strength becomes even stronger. He took out a Spirit Sword from his spatial ring and tried to attack it with his hands which was now turned into dragon claws and saw that there were obvious scratches on the Spirit Sword.
Ye Xiao was shocked after seeing this. Ye Xiao thought something for a while then he executed the Sacred Finger Art while his hand was still the dragon's claws.
He tried to pierce the Spirit Sword with his finger which was a dragon's finger and he was shocked to see that he was able to almost pierce through the Spirit Sword. The surface of the sword where the 'dragon's finger' tried to pierce through was now slightly sunken.
It needed to know that the sword was actually one of the two High Grade Spirit Rank Sword which he got from the tomb of the Peak Martial Emperor Realm expert, Mu Chen.
In the whole Azure Dragon Kingdom, there was only a few High Grade Spirit Rank weapons and it was also in the hand of the sect leaders of the five great sects and the King.
If one wants to draw even a single scratch on the surface of Spirit Rank Sword, one needed to have at least the strength of Martial King Realm.
From this it could be seen that after turning his hands into the dragon's claws, Ye Xiao can execute a martial skill which would have the power of a Martial King Realm.
Wooshh!
Suddenly Ye Xiao's hands turned back to normal and he felt exhausted.
He was surprised to see that he only executed a single attack and it already consumed all of his spirit energy.
"Dragon's Claw"
After recovering his spirit energy, Ye Xiao again turned transformed his hand into dragon's claws. This time he did not executed any martial arts skill. After around two thousand breaths of times, his hands returned back to normal and he again felt exhausted.
So, it means I can not use the dragon's claws for a long time. If I want to use it for a long time, I have to increase my strength. I am still too weak, I have to become stronger.
