Chapter 28 Training During The Journey
*****************??*****************
A few days later...
In the mountains, a blue-stripped tiger that was over two meters tall growled at a young man before him.
The young man who had long white hair and deep blue eyes took a fighting stance, as he faced the blue-stripped tiger.
"Howl"
With a roar, the spirit beast flashed towards Arthur with an almost blinding speed. It extended its claws at Arthur's chest as it arrived before him, in an attempt to pierce his heart.
Arthur reacted fast enough and dodged to the side. With his spirit sense, he could predict the beast's attack and was able to see the movement of the tiger at a slower speed.
As the tiger was still in the air, Arthur clenched his right fist and punched straight at the tiger's head.
*Bang!* *Crash!*
The tiger was pistoned into a rock nearby, causing cracks to appear on it.
The tiger whimpered as landed, finding it hard to get back on its legs. Arthur did not give the beast any chance and rushed at it.
*swoosh!*
Arthur jumped into the air bringing down a fierce kick at the tiger's neck. And although the tiger saw it coming, it could not react fast enough. It could not dodge.
*crack!*
Arthur's leg landed and cracked the neck of the blue-stripped tiger, killing it instantly.
"That was a smooth kill Arthur, your battle sense is good even though you just started having real fights," Helia came out from a corner where she was watching the fight between Arthur and the spirit beast.
"Still not strong enough," Arthur acted like it was nothing and tapped some dust off his clothes.
"What do you mean? You just killed a peak rank 1 spirit beast without using a weapon, and you are still not satisfied?" Helia thought what Arthur did was something to be proud of.
A peak rank of one spirit beast was equivalent to a peak Physique Transformation Realm cultivator.
And Arthur was still only at the first level of the Martial Spirit stage, within the Physique Transformation Realm
"She is right boss, I didn't dare fight a spirit beast of that level when I was at your current cultivation realm," Kaiser and the others thought the same as Helia.
Arthur was already overpowered in their opinion.
Their thoughts were understandable as Spirit Beast had a way more powerful physique than cultivators of the same rank. They were faster and stronger, their skin had a powerful defense too.
So it was a remarkable feat to do what Arthur did, especially when he did not use any martial technique to augment his strength and speed.
Arthur just shook his head, "You guys wouldn't understand the thoughts of an MC," he said and sighed.
"What's an MC?" Luke asked, hearing that term for the first time. While Helia just rolled her eyes. 𝒇𝒓eewe𝒃𝑛𝒐𝘃𝒆𝚕.co𝘮
Arthur didn't respond to Luke's question.
"What would you consider a satisfactory victory, Master?" Number two asked Arthur.
"I want to be able to kill them with one punch!"
"But that's not possible unless you use battle arts. Or if you have a divine physique that grants you great strength," Helia said, thinking that Arthur's requirements were too high.
"Don't worry, before we arrive at the Heavenly Sword Sect, I would be able to destroy all spirit beasts of the same cultivation realm with a punch," Arthur said and clenched his fists.
A month had passed and Arthur had been training almost non-stop in the forest as they traveled. During this month, he had reached the peak of the Martial Spirit Stage.
Now the next thing he had to do would be to pick a cultivation technique and breakthrough to the next realm. paring himself with the protagonists of the cultivation novels he had read while on Earth.
In his few memories of his past as a cultivator, he had been able to blast those with over two cultivation realms above him to ashes.
Arthur and the rest had been traveling by land and by air. They couldn't walk or run all the way through the forests as their destination was too far away.
So they would also travel majorly with the Golden Scales Eagle. They had stopped by a few other cities too, to both eat and have proper rest during this month of travel.
'We will be arriving at the sect in two months, based on our current traveling speed. I need to break through to the peak of the next realm before we arrive,' Arthur planned his cultivation.
If he wasn't training so much, they would have already arrived. But there was something he wanted to comprehend through the battle with different spirit beats.
"The next realm..."
After reaching the peak of the Physique Transformation Realm, the Dantian of a cultivator is now opened and spirit energy in gaseous form is stored within it.
So the next realm of cultivation involves condemning that gaseous spirit energy into the liquid.
Hence it is called the Spirit Condensation Realm.
In this realm, the spirit energy is converted into drops of liquified spirit essence.
There are ten stages in this realm, and in each stage, a drop of spirit essence is formed. Making a total of ten drops at the peak of the realm.
But to enter this realm, cultivators will have to use a good cultivation technique. Cultivation techniques are divided into the following; Mortal Grade, Profound Grade, Earth Grade, and Heaven Grade. Each grade is further divided into, low, mid, high, and peak levels.
The higher the cultivation technique, the more effective your training, and the faster you would raise your cultivation level. Some cultivation techniques even have special effects.
Arthur had an Earth Grade cultivation technique which he possessed as a prince of the Empire.
He brought out the technique from his space ring and was about to go through it when he felt a vibration in his mind.
*vroom!*
His mind was shaken and Arthur could now see writings begin to appear in his mind.
~|[Divine Scripture of the Chaos Dragon]|
~|[Eternal Life Divine Scripture]|
Two techniques appeared in his mind simultaneously, overwhelming him.
