Chapter 254 Another Breakthrough, a Great Achievement
Ye Kang took a deep breath and decided to improve his cultivation level first.
His plan with those 16 comprehension points was to raise the Imperial Supreme Heaven-Piercing Skill to the ninth level, and then use the rest to learn the King of Thieves' lightness skill.
It's not that I don't want to max out the Imperial Supreme Heaven-Reaching Skill directly, it's just that my comprehension isn't good enough, so I might as well improve my strength in other areas first.
He got up and went back to his room.
The West Lake Waterside Pavilion caters to top-tier dignitaries, so the rooms are naturally top-of-the-line, with a second floor and a balcony tea room, resembling a small villa.
He went up to the second floor, and after confirming that no one was around, he sat down cross-legged.
"System, comprehend the Imperial Supreme Heaven-Piercing Technique."
【Ding】
[The host has consumed comprehension points and successfully comprehended the ninth level of the Imperial Supreme Heaven-Piercing Technique]
As the system sounded, spiritual energy from heaven and earth surged in from all directions, pouring into Ye Kang's body.
He stretched out his whole body, recklessly honing his Imperial True Qi, and at the same time, waves of insights arose spontaneously.
In the darkness, Ye Kang, clad in a black dragon robe, pointed his sword at the heavens. He had accomplished his grand ambitions, sweeping away all obstacles, leaving him with nothing left to fight or contend with. The dragon energy of the world converged upon his body, all nations paid tribute, and the four seas were united. Finally, under the trembling will of Heaven, his divine power broke through.
Ye Kang opened his eyes, and streams of Imperial True Qi emanated from every pore of his body, forming a golden dragon that roared majestically.
Fortunately, Ye Kang was prepared and concealed his aura, thus avoiding attracting attention.
The Imperial True Qi began to boil and transform, and with almost no hindrance, it easily pulled Ye Kang into the ninth rank of the middle realm.
The power of heaven and earth descended, beginning to strengthen Ye Kang's physical body.
This is also why most martial artists don't like body tempering. Since as long as their martial arts realm improves, the power of heaven and earth will strengthen their physical body, body tempering is completely unnecessary.
Ye Kang, however, was different. At this moment, he frantically activated the Demon Body Refining Technique, pushing his physical body to its limit.
The power of heaven and earth descended, but the improvement was negligible.
This scene seems to have disrupted the workings of the universe, so why didn't it produce the expected changes?
Then a miraculous thing happened: two more streams of heaven and earth power descended, causing a change in Ye Kang's physical body and greatly enhancing it.
This is the benefit of body tempering; the more intense the tempering, the stronger the body will be when breaking through to a higher realm.
Different foundations create unparalleled potential.
But Ye Kang was not satisfied. With a thought, ten jade boxes appeared in front of him.
Each jade box contains a precious plant for body tempering.
These are all spoils of war that Ye Kang acquired after entering the Qiantang region, most of which were found in the ancient treasures of the bandit king.
Although their grades are all quite ordinary, they are genuine body-tempering treasures.
If the quality isn't high, then make up for it with quantity. Ye Kang has become accustomed to absorbing precious plants at the moment of breakthrough to maximize the effect.
He took a slight breath, and a precious plant entered his mouth, instantly transforming into the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, permeating his entire body.
The Dragon Demon Blood Forging Technique burned fiercely, and its blood and qi began to surge wildly.
This time, Ye Kang not only needs to stabilize his cultivation level, but also needs to refine ten precious plants at once, so it's definitely impossible for him to finish his cultivation in a short time.
Fortunately, there is no emergency at the moment, and there is still time for everything.
In another waterside room, Dai Huanhuan stood on the balcony, staring in astonishment at Ye Kang's direction, her face full of shock.
"Not again!"
"It's only been a few days since my last breakthrough! Is this some kind of life-or-death situation?!"
At this moment, she was truly bewildered.
To be honest, she had met quite a few genius girls, and all of them were proud and arrogant with amazing luck.
But as the saying goes, "the great waves sift out the sand," and most geniuses fade into obscurity, but this Lord Ye is simply outrageous!
This can't be described as genius; it's simply monstrous...
Meanwhile, Ye Kang was cultivating.
Within Qiantang City, the Qinglin branch.
Several garrison commanders gathered together to review and file the details of this serious attack, compiling a report for the imperial court.
Everyone's expression was gloomy, because the dignity of the Azure Scale Guards had been thoroughly humiliated.
After the meeting, the garrison commanders realized something was wrong.
"Where's Song Xian? Why hasn't he shown up?"
Everyone stared at each other, saying they knew nothing about it.
The white stork said awkwardly, "To be honest, Song Xian disappeared after entering Qiantang City. The Qinglin scouts searched for a long time but couldn't find him."
Upon hearing this, the garrison commanders were delighted.
"Is that so? I heard Song Xian made many contributions this time, so why isn't he even accepting the credit?"
"In my opinion, he's hiding because he's afraid that Lord Geng will cause him trouble," the Pelican Town Guardian said with a smile.
The group exchanged glances and nodded.
Indeed, Lord Geng had done the Qinglin Guard a great favor, so Song Xian naturally couldn't openly refuse him. Disappearing without a trace was the best solution.
Tie Li laughed loudly, "Good lad, I like this temper! It's alright, although Song Xian is not here, he still deserves credit. He fought his way into Qiantang City, killing several leaders of the White Lotus Sect along the way, and also killed the long-fleeing Old Demon Chi Ming. He deserves at least six major merits!"
White Stork added, "Not only that, my men reported that Song Xian killed two Huang family devils in Lingyin Temple and saved the lives of three of my men. He killed enemies and saved people, so he should be credited with three great achievements."
After pondering for a moment, Tie Li said casually, "In that case, this kid also stirred up a rat swarm, which can be considered as causing trouble for the White Lotus Sect. Let's give him another one, and make it ten great merits!"
The two of them sang in unison, leaving the remaining guards smiling without saying a word.
Pelicans waved their hands and said, "Do as you please, ten it is. Reward or punish as you see fit, I have no objection. But I still have one question: Song Xian is so powerful, how come I've never heard of him before?"
Everyone was speechless. Indeed, they had no idea that the headquarters had cultivated such a powerful genius.
But it doesn't matter anymore, people are already here, how could there be any mistake?
Write it down in the case file, and report the ten major merits first.
The Azure Scale Guards were working frantically, and the reinforcements could no longer stay and had to return to their own territories immediately.
Only one person sensed something was wrong.
That was the kite that had come all the way from Poyang Lake.
She searched through the scouts' records but couldn't find the name she was looking for.
What about Ye Kang?
Didn't this guy come to Qiantang City with Gu Lingwei?
Why do I only see Gu Lingwei? Where is this kid?
Xi Yuan left Qiantang City with a blank expression. Of course, she wasn't without her guesses, such as Ye Kang knowing a martial art of disguise, and Song Xian being a complete stranger who had never shown his face before...
However, Xi Yuan wisely stopped speculating and pretended not to know anything.
It wasn't that she was protecting Ye Kang; she was just afraid that her suspicions would come true.
After all, Ye Kang was only at the eighth rank of the Extreme Realm when he left Poyang Swamp. If he were to break through so quickly, Xi Yuan was genuinely afraid she would vomit blood.
