Chapter 610

"Strength only needs to be accumulated. Skills, on the other hand, require epiphany. I might not be able to master it for the rest of my life …"

Su Ping calmed himself down completely.

The more impatient he was, the more it would affect him.

Silence was the best state to be in when he needed to think.

The first thing Su Ping did was to sort out all the skills he had mastered.

In terms of the elements, he had the elementary rules of thunder and the elementary rules of fire. His understanding of the other elements was shallow, not even at the elementary level.

Those skills belonged to him as a trainer, but they could also be used in battles.

In terms of combat, he had the Sin Cutter he had learned from Dusk and the Fist of Exorcist from the system!

Other than that, he had other combat skills, such as the Demon Body and the Sword of Exorcist that he had taught Tang Ruyan. At the highest level, he could unleash the power of a Fate State warrior!

Those skills were powerful, but they were not as good as the Sin Cutter and the Fist of Exorcist, which were beyond the legendary rank.

As for battle pet warrior skills, he had all kinds of enhancement skills and some special skills, such as killing intent, that could stimulate his battle pets' fighting spirit.

Other than that, there were also Force Fields that could be classified as special skills.

…

Diqiong's voice came into Su Ping's mind while he was sorting out his skills. "We're here. Stay here for half a day. No one will disturb you."

Su Ping opened his eyes. In front of him was a boundless leaf. In front of the leaf was a luxurious nest made of countless golden threads. Several Golden Crows were stationed around the nest, as if they were guards.

Diqiong flew toward the bird's nest and landed in front of it. The intense heat from the nest made Su Ping feel like he was being roasted.

Luckily, the golden cube had helped him insulate the heat, which was why he had been able to make it that far.

"Your Highness."

A Golden Crow flew over and greeted Su Ping with respect, "You're back."

"Yes, this is my guest. He's here to take a rest," Diqiong said.

The Super Golden Crow darted a look at Su Ping in surprise. Su Ping had to be something special to be Diqiong's guest, but the Super Golden Crow couldn't tell what was so special about him.

The Golden Crow didn't ask any more questions and left.

Diqiong threw Su Ping into the nest and said, "Don't run around. No one will disturb you here, but I'm not sure when you're outside. Those you don't know might eat you up like you're a bug."

Su Ping glared at her. He wasn't in the mood to bicker with her. The nest was huge and he didn't know what the golden threads were made of. They were scorching hot and were surrounded by golden flames. Diqiong was lying on the other side of the nest. The golden flames were roasting its body. Not only was Diqiong not burned, it seemed to be enjoying the heat.

Su Ping felt a headache coming on.

The golden flames were so hot that he felt as if he were standing on a grill.

"Inferno Dragon!"

Su Ping summoned the Inferno Dragon and sat on its shoulder. He told the Inferno Dragon to help him fend off the golden flames.

He would not be able to calm down if he were to be in pain all the time.

As soon as the Inferno Dragon's feet landed on the nest, sizzling smoke came out. Hearing Su Ping's order, the Inferno Dragon released the dark flames to fight against the golden flames.

In the distance, Diqiong darted a look of disdain and mockery at the Inferno Dragon.

"Your battle pet seems nutritious," Diqiong said to Su Ping.

Su Ping: "…"

He didn't want to talk to the bird. Time was of the essence. He had to focus on himself.

Even though the Inferno Dragon was helping him resist the flames and the heat, the temperature in the nest was too high. Su Ping felt as if he were in a sauna, the kind where the temperature was off the charts. His eyebrows were knitted together and he was sweating profusely. He found it hard to concentrate and think in such a situation.

Of course, he could not complain about the current situation.

Su Ping had to refine his will and calm his mind to the end.

"Huh?"

Diqiong looked at Su Ping who was sitting with his eyes closed. All of a sudden, Diqiong felt that Su Ping was relaxing. At the same time, there seemed to be a vague shadow looming behind Su Ping. It was like a spinning Force Field.

"That guy …"

Diqiong was no longer belittling Su Ping.

Diqiong could tell that Su Ping, who called himself a human being, was not used to the high temperature. However, the fact that he was able to stay there and enter an ethereal state without any distractions showed that his willpower was terrifying.

Diqiong didn't disturb Su Ping again.

…

"The skill I'm practicing is the Chaos Star Chart. If I can condense star vortices, I can enter the legendary rank. But I'm only at the Starlight State …"

Su Ping's consciousness entered his body. He could see that his body was vast. Each of his cells was glowing like stars. That was the glow of the astral powers running in his cells.

There was a weak vortex spinning in each of his cells.

He would be able to enter the Astral Jade State when a certain number of his cells could form large star vortices. By then, he would have reached the legendary rank. He would have more astral powers than those at the Ocean State.

"It's only ten days. I don't have enough time to make a breakthrough …"

Su Ping's consciousness wandered around inside his body for a moment. In the end, he decided to quit. He didn't have enough time to focus on improving his rank.

When his consciousness returned to the continent in his mind, Su Ping's soul was sitting on the vast and empty land. He was surrounded by many people; they were all his illusions.

Each of the illusory figures was executing a Secret Technique.

There was the Sin Cutter, the Fist of Exorcist, the Thorn of Nightmare, advanced saber skills, and so on.

Su Ping focused his attention on the Sin Cutter. The illusions were performing faster and faster.

It's hard to improve the Sin Cutter to the ultimate level. I don't even have a clue …

It's also hard to learn the third move of the Fist of Exorcist!

Su Ping frowned. He looked back and forth between the two most powerful skills.

It would be extremely difficult to improve any of the skills. But once he made a breakthrough, his combat strength would soar!

That being said, Su Ping wasn't confident that he could improve the skills in just ten days.

Su Ping was becoming more and more restless as he struggled with these thoughts.

Strength enhancement, agility enhancement, killing intent, Sin Cutter, saber skills, Force Field, space …

The skills and skills flashed across Su Ping's eyes. His mind was in a mess. His eyes were trembling and his brain was working at full speed.

Every skill was magnified in front of his eyes, appearing from the source.

The majestic figures in the Force Field were also giving off a mysterious aura that enlightened Su Ping. It was as if something that he could see but could not grasp was slipping away.

My swordsmanship can't be improved with the Sin Cutter in just ten days. But I can use my own method to improve it by half a step!

Why can't the sword be like the saber or the fist, domineering and fierce?

My swordsmanship is not powerful enough …

If I can integrate space into my swordsmanship, I will be able to kill tens of thousands of swords with one swing. That will be fast and fierce enough!

…

Time zipped by. Soon, three days had passed.

No. My swordsmanship can kill my enemies in an instant, but it's still not powerful enough. It can only be used for sneak attacks …

Strength is to be tested in the field. What I need to do is to improve the damage of my swordsmanship …

…

The sixth day of cultivation.

"A single strike is enough to kill the enemy!"

The All-direction Sword Fist … not enough. My swordsmanship is like a fist. It's fierce but not sharp enough …

Not enough …

…

The ninth day of cultivation.

"Undead Sword … Nirvana Sword …"

What's the point of a sword if it can't bring death?

Little Skeleton …

…

The tenth day.

"Wake up!"

Diqiong said. Su Ping slowly opened his eyes. As soon as he did so, a ray of dark light shot out from his eyes, like two blades that flashed past in a flash.

Diqiong's heart skipped a beat. It had a strange feeling that something had cut through it.

It had only been half a day but the human in front of it seemed to have changed.

He was like a sharp sword that had been unsheathed.

While it was still in shock, Su Ping's expression returned to normal. He lowered his head and looked at his hand. There was nothing in his palm, but he felt that he was holding a sword.

During these ten days of cultivation in his mind, he spent most of his time comprehending the Sword Dao.

After the initial dilemma, he had made up his mind. He had to find a breakthrough in his swordsmanship.

The only thing left to do was to attack.

He had integrated all kinds of insights into his swordsmanship. Some of them were wrong. Even though he had integrated them into his swordsmanship, the improvement was still significant. Some of them were fruitful but not as good as he wanted.

Ten days passed. Su Ping felt it was too short.

He seemed to have never been so focused on one thing before.

"Little guy, I will get you back …" Su Ping murmured.

Su Ping murmured. He was referring to the Little Skeleton.

During the ten days of cultivation, his longing for the Little Skeleton had given him some inspiration. In the end, he had been enlightened.

He had integrated what he had learned into his swordsmanship.

The most powerful swordsmanship he had mastered was no longer the Sin Cutter. It was a new swordsmanship that he had modified.

Whoosh!

A dark Force Field appeared behind Su Ping. The Force Field spun around and then disappeared.

Su Ping looked at the blurry figures in the Force Field and thanked them inwardly.

He had also been enlightened by some of the magnificent beings in the Force Field.

Su Ping stood up and looked at Diqiong. "Is it time?"

Diqiong was curious. "We're here. Come with me."

"Okay."

Su Ping nodded.

He looked at the Inferno Dragon. There were golden patterns on the Inferno Dragon's scales, especially near its legs. Also, the Inferno Dragon was much stronger than before.

Su Ping had been so focused on cultivation for the past ten days that he had forgotten that the Inferno Dragon was protecting him from the heat. He could not help but be surprised.

The Inferno Dragon was still alive after ten days.

"I don't think … I've died before."

Su Ping couldn't help but take a look at himself. He realized that the previous high temperature was nothing more than scorching heat. It was as if he were standing in the desert under the scorching sun. It was unbearable but nothing compared to the pain of standing in front of a grill. His willpower was strong enough to endure it.

"Have I improved my fire resistance?"

Su Ping asked the system.

He remembered what the system had told him. His fire resistance was high and he could stay there for a quarter of an hour. Any more and he would be able to survive.

He had been sitting there for ten days, and he could already be considered barely surviving.

The environment was no longer enough to kill him!

"Yes."

The System said indifferently, "You ate half of the Divine Yang Fruit earlier and increased your fire resistance by nearly half. When you cultivated here and entered the Nether God Realm, your body was cultivating and adapting on its own. Without the interference of your will, the speed at which your body adapted was even faster. Now, your resistance is already special grade!"

"Yang Fruit?"

Only then did Su Ping learn the name of the golden fruit. He asked, "Apart from improving my fire resistance, does the fruit have any other effects?"

"Of course. Don't you feel that your understanding of the rules of fire has improved as well?" the system answered.

Su Ping immediately understood. He had been focusing on his swordsmanship during the past ten days. He had tried to integrate his understanding of the rules of thunder and fire into his swordsmanship. During that process, his understanding of the rules of fire had indeed improved. His understanding of the rules of fire was now as good as his understanding of the rules of thunder!

He felt that he needed an opportunity to make a breakthrough in his understanding of the rules of thunder and fire. There was a chance that he could reach the intermediate level!

"If that's the case, then they are quite fortunate." Su Ping thought of the Inferno Dragon and the Dark Dragon Hound, who had also eaten the Yang Fruit. They had probably grasped the skills of the fire class, but they couldn't activate them because they hadn't fought yet. Sooner or later, they would be forced to use them when they had to exploit their potential.

The system explained calmly, "Given your current special-grade fire resistance, the common Void State skills of the fire class won't be able to hurt you. Only Fate State skills of the fire class can inflict some damage on you, but only a little bit, unless they are at the Star Rank!"

Su Ping's eyes glowed.

The skills of the fire class at the Fate State could only inflict some damage on him?

Didn't that mean that his current body was the bane of all beasts of the fire class? All the beasts of the fire class would be weakened when they were in front of him?

"That's right," the system answered.

"…"

What a peeping tom!

Su Ping gritted his teeth.

Ignoring the system, Su Ping looked at the tree on the Inferno Dragon's back. He couldn't put the tree into the scroll before, but that might not be the case anymore.

With a flip of his palm, he took out the scroll. In an instant, the divine patterns on the scroll began to dissipate, and there were traces of scorch marks on it.

Buzzing!

Su Ping waved his finger and a streak of dark light dashed out; it looked like a tiny ray of sword aura. The ray of dark light dispersed the high temperature.

"Come in!"

Su Ping unleashed his astral powers and took the tree into the scroll. Then, he quickly put away the scroll.
