14: Chapter 14 Individual Cultivation

A few days later, in the Enlightenment Space.

Chen Xing sat cross-legged, surrounded by dense runes floating in the air; these were the contents of the Dragon Soul Secret Tome.

It was only now that he discovered the Enlightenment Space could store the S-Rank Combat Techniques he had already studied.

This meant that once the free borrowing period ended, he wouldn't need to pay for a renewal and could still comprehend the remaining techniques he hadn't yet mastered within the Enlightenment Space.

"If I bring in more combat technique books, won't this place become a library in the future?" Chen Xing had a sudden inspiration.

He found that the System was still incredibly versatile; although it didn't provide direct rewards, every one of its abilities was extremely useful.

The Enlightenment Space assisted in Cultivate and enlightenment, while the combat mode could train one's fighting abilities, and it was far more effective than virtual network equipment.

Additionally, there were the two laws, which could be said to be the direct reason he dared to Cultivate the Dragon Soul Secret Tome.

"Boom!"

Chen Xing stood up, condensed a light source, gathered it in his palm, and blasted it fiercely toward the Void Realm ahead.

A massive roar erupted, and golden radiance flickered. On his right hand, golden scales were clearly visible, and it even took on the appearance of a dragon's claw.

This was one of the basic combat techniques in the Dragon Soul Secret Tome—the Dragon Claw Hand!

When performing the Dragon Claw Hand, both hands could transform into the sharp claws of the Dragon Clan, cutting through iron like butter like weapons; he could even catch bare blades with his hands, and the dragon scales could protect his arms.

"It really works!" Chen Xing clenched his fist, a smile on his face.

The greatest advantage of the Dragon Claw Hand was its armor-piercing ability; with one swipe at an opponent, they would be flayed open if not killed, possessing terrifying lethality.

However, Chen Xing had also fused the Light-Speed Punch from another S-Rank Combat Technique—the Secret Tome of Light—and he actually succeeded.

One must know that the difficulty of Fusion between two completely different combat techniques was extremely high, let alone two S-Rank Combat Techniques.

In fact, Chen Xing had mastered the Dragon Claw Hand on the first day, and he had spent the remaining days trying to achieve Fusion.

With the support of the Enlightenment Space, Chen Xing's comprehension speed was like a cheat, and because their attributes were compatible, the process went smoothly, so he finished it in just a few days.

"What should I call this move? Dragon Claw Light-Speed Punch? No, that's too tacky. Let's just call it Light-Speed Punch; although both are equally tacky, this one is concise."

More importantly, as long as he didn't change the name, others would still think this move was the Light-Speed Punch.

By the time the opponent realized the damage was off, it would likely be too late.

Chen Xing demonstrated it several more times in the Enlightenment Space until he could skillfully use this fused power before moving on to other things.

There were also three basic combat techniques in the Dragon Soul Secret Tome: Dragon Claw Hand, Dragon Scale Armor, and Dragon Soul Wrath.

Dragon Scale Armor wasn't as simple as just covering one arm; once mastered, it could protect the entire body, acting as armor without hindering any movement.

Dragon Soul Wrath was an explosive combat technique; while increasing lethality, it could also deal impressive damage.

There was a reason why it was expensive; it truly lived up to being an S-Rank Combat Technique. Even the basic methods were so comprehensive; no wonder applying for them required different permissions.

"I heard that people who Cultivate the same combat technique can even coordinate with each other. Maybe in next month's Exchange Competition, Old Qin and I can perform the Dragon Soul Secret Tome together?" At this moment, Chen Xing had another sudden thought.

"Maybe it's really feasible. I'll bring Old Qin along when the time comes; maybe he's also compatible with the light attribute? That would be interesting. It might even give the seniors a surprise."

"..."

Chen Xing continued his research and didn't forget to Cultivate.

The academy provided so many resources that he didn't have to worry about that at all; he just needed to focus on his Cultivate.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Qin Feng was also working very hard.

On a strange golden planet, Qin Feng was bare-chested, carrying a massive boulder on his back as he trudged forward.

The gravity here was more than ten times that of an ordinary planet; an average person walking on it would likely be crushed into a meat patty in less than a second.

Thanks to his Dragon Soul Body and his Cultivate at the Fourth Stage of the Light-Opening Realm, Qin Feng's Physical Body had been significantly strengthened, allowing him to set foot here.

For the past ten days or so, he had been moving forward with the weight here, and he wasn't allowed to use combat techniques to assist himself; the discipline was very strict.

"Teacher, is this kind of training... really useful?" After a long time, Qin Feng couldn't help but have some doubts.

"What concerns do you have?" On a distant mountain peak, Yue Shanhai leaned against a stone wall, sitting in a wild posture with a slight smile on his face.

"Teacher, this is just purely tempering the Physical Body. It has no effect on combat techniques or Divine Ability, right? Am I only supposed to rely on my Physical Body to fight and nothing else?" Qin Feng said.

"Nonsense," Yue Shanhai said.

"Then what is it?" Qin Feng asked. He had been moving bricks here for over ten days with no one to accompany him; it was dull and tedious, and he was getting a bit annoyed.

Yue Shanhai held a wine flask in one hand and laughed, "Your Physique is special, and with the Dragon Soul Talent, you are different from ordinary people."

Qin Feng pursed his lips and put down the stone: "I know, A-rank, right? It's indeed different from ordinary people, but you haven't told me specifically what the difference is, Teacher."

Yue Shanhai took a large gulp of wine, not caring at all about his image as a teacher and dean in front of his student.

From a distance, he looked more like a wild, fierce man.

"The Dragon Soul Body grants you an ultimate Physical Body, making your bones and Meridians extremely tough, and your internal organs have undergone a leap-like advancement," he said.

"Yeah, that's true. Now, when I eat something, it's digested in less than two or three minutes; my stomach is terrifyingly efficient." Qin Feng nodded.

"However, through my observations, I've found that there seems to be a problem with your Dragon Soul Body. It's stronger than a normal Dragon Soul Body, yet it seems to be incomplete," Yue Shanhai said solemnly.

"Stronger than normal... but incomplete? Teacher, your words are contradictory," Qin Feng frowned.

"That's exactly where the problem lies. Your weakness is that it's too powerful, leading to an extreme: it's impossible to regulate and control," Yue Shanhai shook his head.

Qin Feng was surprised: "What?"

He thought he had misheard. How could his weakness be that he was too strong?

Regarding this, Yue Shanhai explained: "Your Dragon Soul Body cannot self-regulate. In other words, even if you overdraw your Physical Body strength, it won't notice, so you can't control your own state."

"Perhaps you've sustained a fatal injury, but because your Physical Body can't detect it, you won't feel pain. You won't know that the Dragon Soul Body's power has reached its limit and will continue using it until it eventually collapses and your Physical Body disintegrates."

"That's so terrifying?" Qin Feng's heart jolted.

"More than that, your blood qi is too vigorous and prone to overflowing. You should be well aware of the consequences of unstable power," Yue Shanhai said.

Qin Feng nodded. If one couldn't even master basic power, then they wouldn't even be able to use combat techniques.

In other words, if his state was poor, all the combat techniques he cultivated would be useless because he wouldn't be able to use them at all.
