DRAGON EMPEROR

CHAPTER 11 Complete Meridians

There was also a chest on the second level, although it was made of bronze.

Lu Ming opened the box. There were two manuals and a jade box inside.

One of his manuals was made of something similar to gold, not paper. It might be over a hundred pages long, but it did not seem to weigh when held in hand, as if he was holding a cloud.

There are four words written on it. 'True War Dragon Technique'.

Lu Ming frantically turned his pages to read through them in detail.

“So it seems like this is not just the Second Stage of the True War Dragon Technique, this is the whole technique!” Lu Ming's eyes twinkled.

As he continued to flip through the pages, his smile grew wider.

Based on what was recorded, the True War Dragon Technique at the first level was technically not “First Stage”, but rather the introduction of the technique. It was mainly used to build foundations, and open three divine meridians more easily.

From now on is the true beginning of the True War Dragon Technique.

This technique is divided into nine stages.

The compacted dragon-shaped Essential Qi of the True War Dragon Technique was more condensed compared to the Essential Qi of normal cultivation.

From the records available, as long as the First Stage of this technique was reached, the condensed Essential Qi would become twice as viscous as normal Qi.

Reaching the Second Stage would result in a threefold viscosity. Based on that logic, if the Ninth Stage was reached, the viscosity of the condensed Qi would be ten times that of normal Qi.

Lu Ming was overjoyed. Ten times? What is this concept? It compares steel to dead wood. A single blow of steel would shatter dead wood into millions of pieces.

How horrifying. Really, Divine level techniques.

But the difficulty in cultivating it successfully cannot be ignored either.

Putting aside the Ninth Stage, the requirement to reach the First Stage was to open three divine meridians, or successfully cultivate them was impossible.

It was no wonder that the introduction of the True War Dragon Technique at the first level stated that the three divine meridians should be open for the user to develop the next technique.

It was only the First Stage. A large amount of materials were needed to help with the cultivation of the Second Stage. They were all extremely rare materials, some of which Lu Ming had never even heard of.

“I'll handle it when I've reached it. To be able to develop the First Stage and achieve Essential Qi with a viscosity twice that of normal Qi would be a frightening feat.

Excitement appeared in Lu Ming's eyes. He carefully read the True War Dragon Technique once and picked up the other book.

The Glittering Sword Technique was a Superior Yellow Level sword technique. If successfully processed, the sword would appear like a never-ending stream of light as fast as lightning.

This was actually a Superior Yellow Level martial technique! Even the most valuable martial technique of the Lu Family alone was the Superior Yellow Level.

There was also a jade box, with the inscription 'Spirit Soul Pill' written on it.

Soul Pills were Third Level medicinal pills that were worth at least tens of thousands of taels of silver. There was a demand for it, but there was no supply, as it could quickly increase one's cultivation, making it extremely useful for people in the Master Realm, let alone the Warrior Realm.

“First, it was the Marrow Cleansing Pill, and now it is the Spirit Soul Pill. Everything is useful for me.”

Lu Ming suppressed the excitement in his head as his expression turned into contemplation.

He felt this was arranged by someone. How else could he explain how useful everything was to him?

How strange.

When he couldn't draw a conclusion, he shook his head. There was no point thinking about it if he could not understand it. Instead, he shifted his gaze to the third level.

If the first and second levels were to bring such treasures, what would he find in the third level?

There were still ninety-nine steps towards the third level. Sure enough, there was a force blocking Lu Ming's path when he reached the ninety-ninth step.

Unlike what he had thought, there was no chest on the third level. The place was empty, except for a stone standing in the middle of the room. He could not know its usefulness.

"I can't wait for that!"

Lu Ming had a burning curiosity towards the third level, and the other levels after him. However, there was nothing he could do as he was unable to ascend. Lu Ming shook his head and returned to the second level, where he began circulating the True War Dragon Technique.

It was time for him to enter the Warrior Realm.

Woosh's... Woosh's...

A typhoon suddenly formed in his dantian, spinning at high speed. The Essential Qi in his meridians was attracted towards the typhoon.

The cycle starts off big, but blurs like fog. Over time, the size of the Qi cyclone shrinks as it becomes denser. In the end, it was like a clear and visible solid object.

Woo...

A voice similar to a dragon sounded. Inside Lu Ming's body, his Essential Qi was like a small mini dragon swimming in his vortex and meridians. Lu Ming's aura had strengthened significantly.

He had stepped into the Warrior Realm!

Lu Ming finally entered the Warrior Realm.

The True War Dragon Technique had been developed naturally until the First Stage.

Holy hooch!

Lu Ming opened his eyes and let out a long sigh. His breath was like a pillar of gas, gushing out a few meters before spreading out.

It's thundering!

Lu Ming suddenly stood up. He hit the air with his fist, which suddenly exploded like a bomb, ringing nonstop.

“A very strong power. How strong am I at the moment? Second-class Warrior Realm? Or is it Class Three?”

Lu Ming had surpassed human limits after he opened the three divine meridians, but his Qi was twice as viscous as normal Qi after cultivating the First Stage True War Dragon Technique.

Lu Ming had no idea how powerful his explosive power was now.

Lu Ming then turned his gaze toward the Spirit Soul Pill.

“Right now, my cultivation level is too fast and requires consolidation, so it is not suitable for me to consume Soul Pills. There are still eighteen days before the Meeting. That's enough. I will wait until the Meeting arrives soon before I take the Soul Pills. I'll have a better chance at Meeting that way.”

Lu Ming clenched his hands. He was filled with confidence as he felt a great power within his body.

In the days that followed, Lu Ming consolidated his cultivation while developing some martial skills, especially the Glittering Sword Technique.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

Three days before the meeting.

In that period of time, even though Lu Ming's blood meridians had yet to develop, the rate of absorption of the surrounding spirit energy had increased. Now, it could actually deal with the Third Level blood meridians.

Along with the True War Dragon Technique, if Lu Ming cultivated normally, his absorption rate could be compared to the Fourth Level blood meridians.

In the space of half a month, Lu Ming's cultivation not only strengthened, but also progressed at a steady pace.

He had reached the peak of the First Grade Warrior Realm.

In terms of martial techniques, Fire Dragon Fist was still at the Fourth Stage, the “ Mechanical Mastery” stage.

The further one mastered the martial skill, the harder it was to improve it. There are those who are unable to advance to the “ Mechanical Mastery” stage for Low Yellow Level martial arts techniques.

However, the Dragon Snake Step has increased, advancing to the Fourth Stage, the “Possession Technique” stage.

The Glittering Sword Technique, which was a Superior Yellow Level, was even more difficult to develop.

Within half a month, Lu Ming had only expanded it to the Second Stage with the help of chanting. It was a small achievement.

Lu Ming was sitting on a stone bench in the middle of the courtyard. He brews a cup of tea, which he drinks casually.

After cultivating for so long, Lu Ming wanted to relax a little before making a final push.

"Young Master! Young Master! I bring good news!”

As he finished his sentence, a sweet and pleasant girl appeared before Lu Ming's eyes.

It was Qiu Yue.
