Supreme Dragon Martial Soul-Chapter 250: Pressure and Motivation, Leave!

Another two days passed.

The second night.

Buzz!

A transparent ripple burst forth from Luo Cheng’s body, forming a wild gale that swept across the surroundings.

This time’s cultivation went even smoother than expected!

In just two days, Luo Cheng successfully advanced to the Tongxuan Realm Second Layer Middle Stage!

His entire body’s Essence Qi was even more vigorous. With his eyes closed, while gazing inward, his Heart’s Secret Treasure resembled a massive flaming fireball, and his blood and Essence Energy thickened by at least thirty percent!

Of course, such a rapid breakthrough did not come without cost.

In just two days, Luo Cheng consumed nine Blood Nourishing Pills and used up one Three-star Soul Crystal!

If it were an ordinary Tongxuan Realm Second Layer Early Stage Martial Artist, they wouldn’t dare cultivate like this.

The side effects of Blood Nourishing Pills might be minimal, but they are side effects nonetheless. Consuming so many in a short amount of time would undoubtedly lower one’s cultivation state and greatly increase the risk of going mad!

Even without going mad, the body wouldn’t be able to bear it and would likely explode from the pressure!

However, Luo Cheng had no such concerns.

Through the refinement of the Nine-colored Scale, the Blood Nourishing Pill became pure and flawless, leaving no side effects behind and making it easier to refine!

His physique was also capable of enduring such high-intensity cultivation.

"I may not have the endless resources of super sects or Ancient Family scions, nor the luxury of limitless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures!"

"But I have the Nine-colored Scale, which eliminates concerns about side effects and helps refine spiritual medicine and pills faster! This is my unique advantage!"

Luo Cheng had never forgotten his goals.

In his heart, the benchmark he compared himself to was always the Divine Son from the Ji Family!

This invisible pressure was also the source of his motivation!

"Continue!"

After resting for only a moment, Luo Cheng consumed the last Blood Nourishing Pill and closed his eyes.

Over the next few days, Luo Cheng immersed himself wholeheartedly in cultivation.

In less than three days, he used up nearly ten Three-star Spirit Pills and one Four-star Spiritual Medicine, exhausting most of the blood-strengthening and flesh-nurturing medicines and pills he had on hand!

With so much support from spiritual medicine and pills, Luo Cheng’s cultivation progressed swiftly, and every moment he could feel his blood energy growing stronger! ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

On the third day at noon, Luo Cheng emerged from his cultivation state, exhaling a deep, concentrated breath.

"Just one more step and I’ll breakthrough to the Tongxuan Realm Second Layer Late Stage. This cultivation speed is truly astonishing!"

Luo Cheng marveled, feeling he might have underestimated himself.

In just seven or eight days, he had progressed from the Tongxuan Realm First Layer Peak to nearly breaking through to the Tongxuan Realm Second Layer Late Stage!

If word of this got out, it would leave countless people speechless!

Standing tall, Luo Cheng fully activated his blood energy.

At once, a faint sound of rushing waves echoed within his body, like massive rivers running wildly.

He looked toward a training post, clenched his fist, and struck with full force.

Boom!

Vast Essence Energy transformed into a millstone-sized fist, as fast as lightning and as heavy as a mountain, tearing a rift in the air before crashing into the training post and leaving a deep imprint!

"Such terrifying power! Enough to kill a Tongxuan Realm Third Layer Peak Martial Artist!"

A glint of surprise flickered in Luo Cheng’s eyes.

It’s worth noting that this punch wasn’t even infused with any martial arts techniques!

Were it combined with the Heavenly Cauldron Fist, the power would rise to an entirely new level!

He originally believed that reaching such a level required breaking through to the Tongxuan Realm Second Layer Late Stage at the very least.

"It must be due to the All Heavens Dragon Control Technique!"

Luo Cheng realized the key.

Although he hadn’t yet broken through to the Tongxuan Realm Second Layer Late Stage, the quality of his Essence Energy was remarkably strong! It was only slightly inferior to Senior Sister Chen Lingyu’s.

"I wonder what grade this All Heavens Dragon Control Technique is! Just at Tongxuan Realm Second Layer Middle Stage, the Essence Energy quality already rivals Tongxuan Realm Third Layer Peak Martial Artists!"

"Given this, there’s no need to rush for a breakthrough!"

In merely eight days, his cultivation level had advanced multiple times, and he had consumed a significant amount of pills.

Luo Cheng worried that rushing to breakthrough to the Tongxuan Realm Third Layer Late Stage, even if successful, might destabilize his foundation, so he decided to let things settle first.

With his current strength, he could handle the immediate situation.

"Too many people during the day; I’ll leave at night."

Not wanting to attract too much attention, Luo Cheng decided to begin his return to the Xuanyuan Sect at night.

"I still have some time; let me try comprehending Human Sword Integration!"

Clang!

Luo Cheng drew his sword, and the dazzling Sword Qi split the air silently.

"I wonder what Sword Intent is all about..."

Gazing at the Flame Trace Sword in his hand, Luo Cheng recalled Steward Yan’s explanation. He focused all his perception, attempting to find the trace of Sword Intent concealed within the sword, hoping to comprehend something from it.

For a long time, Luo Cheng bitterly smiled and shook his head.

No matter how deeply he perceived, the sword remained a sword, with no special qualities at all.

Luo Cheng wasn’t discouraged by this.

If Sword Intent were that simple, then everyone would have comprehended it.

In fact, many Awakening Vein Realm swordsmen couldn’t even touch upon Sword Intent!

"One bite at a time, one step at a time. Let’s focus on Human Sword Integration first!"

Not dwelling on Sword Intent, Luo Cheng cleared his mind of distractions and sat cross-legged.

Placing the Flame Trace Sword across his knees, Luo Cheng recalled Yan Qingshuang’s sword technique posture and quickly entered a mysterious and profound state.

Late night.

The sky was shrouded in thick clouds, with only a faint crescent moon emitting pale light.

Luo Cheng sat in the middle of the Practice Field, utterly still like a withered tree.

Buzz!

Suddenly, the Flame Trace Sword trembled lightly, and from Luo Cheng’s body emanated an intense, piercing aura.

This piercing aura was so powerful that it soared into the heavens, thinning the clouds above!

Luo Cheng opened his eyes, and the brilliant gleam within them seemed to split the night apart!

"Almost there!"

Placing his hand on the Flame Trace Sword, a smile appeared on Luo Cheng’s face.

He felt he was on the verge of crossing that threshold!

Only a hair’s breadth away from true Human Sword Integration!

"Time to head back!"

Glancing at the sky, Luo Cheng sheathed his sword, retracting his piercing aura, and opened the courtyard gate to leave.

Through a servant, Luo Cheng sought out Steward Yan.

Having been greatly supported by Lingyun Pavilion during this time, Luo Cheng naturally wouldn’t leave without a word.

"You’re leaving now?"

Upon hearing Luo Cheng’s intention to leave Linjiang City, surprise flashed in Steward Yan’s eyes.

As she took a closer look at Luo Cheng, her surprise morphed into disbelief, even a hint of astonishment.

"Tongxuan Realm Second Layer Middle Stage!"

Though Luo Cheng had retracted his aura, the blood energy of a Tongxuan Realm Second Layer Martial Artist was like waves — vast and vigorous life force that couldn’t be completely hidden.

Luo Cheng nodded and smiled, "These past days of secluded cultivation have yielded small gains."

Steward Yan remained silent.

In just a few days? From Tongxuan Realm First Layer Peak to Tongxuan Realm Second Layer Middle Stage!

This was far from "small gains."

Luo Cheng wasn’t even of supreme talent — no, he awakened a Wasted Martial Soul! His aptitude was bottom-tier!

Such a logic-defying achievement left even the experienced Steward Yan temporarily dumbfounded.

After steadying her thoughts, Steward Yan contemplated briefly before speaking:

"The year-end is approaching, and things have been turbulent lately. I fear the road might be dangerous. Shall I arrange for someone to escort you back?"

Luo Cheng shook his head, "No need. I’ll travel under the cover of night. If I’m cautious, there should be no trouble. By the way, please inform your Pavilion Master that if there’s anything, they can find me at Xuanyuan Sect! Farewell!"

Steward Yan watched Luo Cheng’s departing figure, lost in thought.

A moment later, she turned and hurried toward the depths of the building.
