Chapter 57: Water-Fire Flood Dragon Body

A Black Scale Clan member at the Peak Ability Master level is worth 500 Battle Merit.

Ye Tian possesses the Identity Tokens of over one hundred Peak Ability Master level Black Scale Clan members; these Black Scale Clan Identity Tokens alone are worth over 80,000 Battle Merit.

As for the Identity Tokens of Peak Ability Master Gold Scale Clan members, one is worth 3,000 Battle Merit, and four are equivalent to 12,000 Battle Merit.

When Ye Tian took out these Identity Tokens, the staff at the War Merit Hall were dumbfounded.

With so many Black Scale Clan Identity Tokens, plus four Gold Scale Clan Identity Tokens, she even suspected they were fake.

Not daring to make the decision herself, she hurriedly asked a higher-level superior to authenticate these Identity Tokens.

Soon, the superior arrived and authenticated them as genuine.

Just like that, Ye Tian successfully exchanged them for Battle Merit.

【96,500 Battle Merit】

With so much Battle Merit, how much would it be if converted into resources? Even if converted into S-rank Treasure, he could buy two pieces.

However, compared to his other gains, the Battle Merit was not worth mentioning.

He had obtained multiple Strange Treasures, and every single Strange Treasure was above an S-rank Treasure!

It can be said that Ye Tian is truly very wealthy now.

After obtaining so much Battle Merit, Ye Tian immediately went to exchange for the A-Grade Space Treasure—the Space God Stone.

The Space God Stone was only 30,000 Battle Merit, which was nothing to him.

"I want to exchange for a Space God Stone!"

Soon, the Space God Stone was successfully exchanged.

Holding the Space God Stone, Ye Tian felt incomparably excited.

【Space Force +1】

【Space Force +1】

It wouldn't be long before he could raise his Space Talent Ability to A-Grade, and then he would be able to practice A-Grade Space Strange Art.

"I want to exchange for the A-Grade Space Strange Art—Immobilization Technique, and the A-Grade Space Strange Art—Space Blade!"

These two Space Strange Arts were very expensive, totaling 6,000 Battle Merit, but Ye Tian exchanged for them anyway.

The Immobilization Technique uses Space Force to freeze an enemy; if their strength is weak, they cannot even move at all. If he uses the Immobilization Technique to freeze an enemy and then attacks them, he can easily behead them.

Of course, the higher the cultivation, the harder it is for the Immobilization Technique to freeze them.

For example, if he wanted to freeze a Peak Ability Grandmaster like Instructor Li Haoyang, the Immobilization Technique wouldn't even be able to freeze them for an instant.

The Space Blade compresses and condenses Space Force to form a curved, thin line, shaped like a blade, hence the name Space Blade.

The lethality of the Space Blade is terrifying; even as an A-Grade Strange Art, its power is still more fearsome than many S-rank Strange Arts.

The effective lethal range of the Space Blade is fifty meters; beyond fifty meters, it doesn't have much power.

……

Residence at the East Sea Fortress.

Ye Tian waited silently for his Space Talent Ability potential to rise to A-Grade. Once it reached A-Grade, he would immediately practice the two A-Grade Space Strange Arts: Space Blade and Immobilization Technique.

The next day.

After absorbing the Space God Stone, his Space Talent Ability potential successfully advanced to an A-grade Space Talent Ability, which also improved his physical fitness once again.

"I can practice the Immobilization Technique now!"

Ye Tian was quite excited.

Afterward.

He used the Enlightenment Technique to boost his comprehension to improve the Immobilization Technique and the Space Blade.

But he had to admit that A-Grade Space Strange Arts are truly difficult to practice, several times harder to practice than other A-Grade Strange Arts.

If not for his possession of the Enlightenment Technique, just reaching the Entry Level in the Immobilization Technique and Space Blade would have taken at least half a year or even longer.

In the blink of an eye, ten days passed.

Ye Tian repeatedly consumed other Talent Ability potentials and used various A-rank Materials to restore his Talent Ability potential, only then managing to cultivate the Immobilization Technique and Space Blade to the Consummation Realm.

With this, his strength surged significantly.

In the days that followed, Ye Tian often left the East Sea Fortress to hunt the Scale Clan.

He mainly looked for those Scale Clan members to join forces with, honing his close-quarters Sword Technique skills.

It must be said that combat is the fastest way to hone Sword Technique skills.

Moreover, he also used the Enlightenment Technique to boost his comprehension, grasping Sword Technique techniques during battle, which made his progress extremely fast.

In just three days, Ye Tian successfully raised his Sword Technique to the Micro Level.

Earth Cave World, Dark Sun Forest.

Ye Tian engaged in combat with a Peak Ability Master level Black Scale Clan member, using only his Sword Technique to resist.

He grasped every one of the opponent's attacks, as if the movements around him had slowed down, and he could use everything in the surroundings as an aid, even being able to concentrate his power to explode at a single point.

It seemed the opponent's attacks were full of openings; their combat level was just too trashy.

"So this is the Micro Level!"

Ye Tian muttered to himself.

Back then, that Gold Scale Clan member's Blade Technique level had definitely reached the Micro Level, and the strike unleashed before death even surpassed the Micro Level, reaching the Consummation Realm.

It was just a pity that Ye Tian possessed the Five Elements Wheel, with invincible defense, so the opponent had no way to break his defense and was thus finished off by Ye Tian.

After the Sword Technique reached the Micro Level, progress slowed down; wanting to reach the Consummation Realm became slightly difficult, and reaching the Sword Intent level was even harder.

"Still need to work hard!"

Ye Tian muttered to himself.

A few more days passed, and good news arrived.

His cultivation broke through, advancing from the Intermediate Ability Master realm to the Advanced Ability Master realm; such a speed of progress was enough to leave many people dumbfounded.

Many junior or even senior students at Donghai University have cultivation levels that are at most Intermediate Ability Master or Advanced Ability Master.

Yet Ye Tian is only a freshman and has already cultivated to the Advanced Ability Master realm; by the end of his freshman year, his cultivation will inevitably reach Peak Ability Master.

By this calculation, by his sophomore year, he will likely be an Ability Grandmaster.

……

Donghai University.

Principal's office.

Li Haoyang arrived here.

"Principal!" Li Haoyang called out.

Jiang Dongxu let Li Haoyang sit down and asked: "Have you comprehended the Fire Intent to the thirty percent level of the Eighth Sequence?"

Li Haoyang shook his head, "Principal, I am still quite far off."

"You, you insist on cultivating the Water-Fire Flood Dragon Body; otherwise, you would have broken through to Ability Grandmaster ten years ago, and by now, you might even have cultivated to Intermediate Strange Art Grandmaster or even Advanced Strange Art Grandmaster!" Jiang Dongxu sighed.

Li Haoyang gave a wry smile: "Principal, I am merely a B-Grade water-fire dual-element Talented Ability User, without A-level Talent Potential. With insufficient talent potential, even if you give me the best treasures, it will be difficult for me to comprehend the Seventh Sequence Intent in the future! Almost all B-Grade Talented Ability Users have a cultivation limit of Peak Strange Art Grandmaster. If I want to become an Extreme Dao Grandmaster, I must cultivate the water-fire dual-element intent to the thirty percent level of the Eighth Sequence, and then master the Water-Fire Flood Dragon Body. Only by achieving a special physique can I perfectly break through to the Ability Grandmaster realm and awaken an Innate Divine Ability!"

An Innate Divine Ability stands above Strange Art; even an S-rank Ability is far inferior to a D-Grade Innate Divine Ability.

Take Li Haoyang, for example; he has comprehended the water-fire dual-element Eighth Sequence Intent, yet his combat power is not as good as Lin Su's used to be, simply because he does not know A-Grade Strange Art or S-rank Ability, while Lin Su possessed S-level Talent Potential and could unleash S-rank Ability.

How terrifying is the power of an S-rank Ability combined with Intent.

If he reaches the Peak Strange Art Grandmaster realm, Li Haoyang's combat power will still be crushed by other geniuses.

But by mastering the Water-Fire Flood Dragon Body, he can make up for the gap in Talent Potential, and even make his own foundation more solid and his potential more immense, giving him hope to challenge the Extreme Dao Grandmaster realm.

He is an Ability Grandmaster with a long lifespan, so he is not in a rush for a momentary breakthrough.

"Perhaps your choice is the right one!" Jiang Dongxu murmured.

Back then, he did not have the courage to do this and reached the Ability Grandmaster realm early; as a result, he is now trapped at the Peak Strange Art Grandmaster realm, with almost no hope of becoming an Extreme Dao Grandmaster.

"Right, I called you here this time because there is a good thing!" Jiang Dongxu handed a document to Li Haoyang; it was a notification from Kyoto.

"Sky Dome Network!"

Li Haoyang was surprised, "Kyoto actually managed to tinker it out!"
