Chapter 47 - 47 Rising Dragon
47 Rising Dragon
“Rising dragon…” Qin Huai mulled over these two words. The white dragon was already a dragon. What would it become if it ascended?
Without waiting for him to continue thinking, Sun Yuanshan continued, “The cultivation method is created by people, and it is born according to the creator’s thoughts and uses.
“The Crane Dojo’s martial arts was created by its founder by observing cranes. If you succeed in cultivating it, you can cross the water and slide down the mountain. It’s an impressive movement technique.
“The White Wave Fist Dojo has a killing technique derived from watching the waves in the ocean. The attacks are like waves, continuous and stronger than before with every breath.
“The breathing technique isn’t good at attacking. In the end, it’s a technique to nourish one’s qi and health. Grandmaster created it to prolong one’s life.” Sun Yuanshan’s light steps suddenly stopped. “But as the saying goes, where there’s a will, there’s a way. Cultivation techniques are the same.”
“Grandmaster created the breath control technique for the sake of health. Although I can’t imitate Grandmaster and create a powerful killing technique, I can still make some changes to its foundation.”
As they spoke, the two of them had already arrived at the Changshan ancestral house.
Sun Yuanshan turned around with a serious face. “The long breath forbidden technique that I created is essentially another way of using the long breath technique. The breath control technique has a long breath, but it’s not powerful enough. Then, I’ll accumulate ‘qi’ and shoot it out in one breath. Using a unique way of control, the rapid circulation of ‘qi’, and all the qi will be sent out in an instant. And the key to qi… I think you should know, right?” Sun Yuanshan didn’t finish his words.
“Is it the white dragon?” Qin Huai blurted out.
Both the qi-nurturing technique and the breathing technique were unique in their ability to nurture qi. The endpoint of qi cultivation was to cultivate an aura dragon. It was the essence of qi.
After Sun Yuanshan’s explanation, Qin Huai had a bad association with the words ‘forbidden technique’ and ‘rising dragon.’ This was because he had managed to defeat the three white dragons more than once in battle.
However, it was far from the activation method his master had mentioned. Its power had indeed increased, but it was still far from the level of a forbidden technique.
In the understanding of ordinary people, the word “forbidden technique” was a technique that was powerful but would cause harm to the body. It was a technique that could kill 1,000 enemies at the cost of 800 of one’s own body.
Then this forbidden technique, rising dragon…
“If you have anything to say, you can speak boldly.” Sun Yuanshan encouraged Qin Huai when he saw the strange look on his face.
“Master, this forbidden technique, rising dragon… Don’t tell me you’re going to detonate the white dragon?”
“Not bad! You’re bright!” Sun Yuanshan was relieved. “Yes, the rising dragon is to detonate a white dragon.”
“How powerful is this?” Qin Huai asked.
“The white dragon will become thicker and stronger as the level increases. The ‘qi’ will be more abundant, and the power will naturally be greater. That’s why the power of the rising dragon is almost the same in every realm, and it can seriously injure a martial artist of the same realm! Even if it’s a cultivator one minor realm higher, it can still cause considerable damage.
“If I detonate several in succession… It’s not impossible to kill an enemy one minor realm higher than you. Speaking of which, Huai’er, your cultivation is unique. You will have one more white dragon than others, so you are more suitable for this forbidden technique.
“If you detonate all the white dragons, you’ll definitely be able to kill an enemy one minor realm above you!” Sun Yuanshan said with a smile.
“Then the white dragon will be gone after the explosion?” Qin Huai asked.
“Naturally. However, you can cultivate it again through subsequent cultivation. It will take a long time, and it will delay the progress of my martial arts. So, if I don’t have to use the rising dragon, I’ll try not to use it,” Sun Yuanshan explained as he began to move his muscles and bones.
Sun Yuanshan did not have a strong body like Rong Li and Fang Han. The white robe was quite loose on him, but Sun Yuanshan was quite tall. He was a tall old man of about 1.9 meters.
“Today, I will show you the power of the rising dragon.”
“This… This can’t be! Master, your age. No, this qi…” Qin Huai didn’t know how to persuade him.
“I’ve been here for fifty years… Oh, I was already a famous genius more than sixty years ago. Anyway, the matter of nourishing qi varies from person to person. Those with high talent and fast cultivation speed will be able to raise dragons much faster after using the rising dragon.
“Like your eldest brother, Rong Li, he’s not very talented and usually only relies on brute force. He needs seven or eight months to raise a dragon. Fang Han’s condition is slightly better, about half a year. As for Qi Yangbing, he’s the best. Three months is enough.” Sun Yuanshan’s voice suddenly stopped as he looked at Qin Huai.
“Then what about Master?” Qin Huai immediately understood.
“I think one month is enough.” Sun Yuanshan touched his long beard with a calm look. Then, he walked to a huge rock, which was about the same height as him. He gently pressed his hand on the huge rock.
“Ha!” Sun Yuanshan suddenly shouted.
BOOM!
There was a sonic boom, and that huge rock actually shattered into dozens of pieces on the spot.
Qin Huai was dumbfounded as he watched the huge rock shatter in an instant.
“This power should be enough to blow three to five of me into pieces…” Qin Huai mumbled.
He was truly shocked by the power of this forbidden technique, rising dragon. How was this a forbidden technique? It should be more appropriate to change its name to ‘explosive dragon.’
On the ground, there was a gray experience ball. Qin Huai only took a glance, and the experience ball automatically flew over and merged with him.
“Ding! You have collected a [Breathing Control forbidden skill (Grey)] and received [Breath Control technique: Rising Dragon ].”
“Here, this is the experience I’ve written on the forbidden technique. Take a look.” Sun Yuanshan threw him a randomly bound sheepskin book.
Qin Huai flipped it open to take a look. On it were the secrets to circulating qi and the practice method.
Actually, it wasn’t that difficult. Just like what his master had said, it was just an extreme method of activating the breath control technique.
This forbidden technique was like a layer of window paper. It broke with a single stab. It was just that the loss was a little big.
“Practice a few more times, and you’ll understand how to use it. But remember, every time you practice, you have to hold back at the last moment before the explosion. You have to swallow back the impulse that’s about to burst out.
“Otherwise, if you waste one white dragon every time you practice, you won’t be able to survive even if you have nine lives,” Sun Yuanshan reminded him carefully.
“Will the rising dragon consume vitality?” Qin Huai asked again.
“That won’t happen, but with all the white dragons gone, you’re just a tiger without claws and fangs. It’s too disadvantageous for you to fight with only your qi and blood. As long as it didn’t hurt your qi and blood, that’s good.”
“Master, I have another question. You said that raising a white dragon again depends on the speed of cultivation? In other words, the faster I cultivate, the faster I can raise the white dragon again?”
“Of course. The cultivation of the breath control technique is to raise dragons. If you lose a white dragon and raise it again, it will naturally depend on the speed of cultivation.
“According to my many years of experience from your senior brothers, I think I’ll be able to raise a mature white dragon in about two or three layers of the breath control technique in the second refinement realm.
“So, for someone like you… You should be a bit faster than me.” Sun Yuanshan didn’t dare to guarantee anything.
Qin Huai suddenly thought of a crucial point after receiving affirmation.
Raising dragons was linked to the speed of cultivation. Didn’t that mean that if he used up a white dragon… After that, every time he picked up an experience ball, the newly raised white dragon would also grow up.
With the speed at which he was collecting experience points, he would be able to reach one level in a day, far surpassing everyone else.
According to his master’s speculation, in the second or third level of the second refinement realm, one could raise a white dragon. This meant that he could release an explosion once every three or four days… Rising dragon.
“That’s good.”
Killing a thrice-refined martial artist seemed to be within reach. At that moment, Gu He’s figure appeared in Qin Huai’s mind.
