Chapter 411:坑你 (2)

resence!From this perspective, this dragon's power is indeed a talented individual, with very solid fundamentals!"You like this kind of punch Fine, look at me, just like that!" Daoxuan unleashed a pun...Chapter 411 Pit You Part 2

This is something I'm not sure if heaven can hear. Anyway, he could only look for her slowly all over the city now. This was like searching for a needle in a haystack.

The Three Recluses didn't stay nearby this time and they didn’t buy anything either. It was to shake off Shang Ling Jian far away. Because of that, they went near Listening Rain Lake and began their duel!

So they weren't very strong after all...

Xiaoyao discovered when Wu Xuan and Ling Xiao were dueling, both their powers were at the peak of the Imperial stage, still quite far from the Saint stage.

If compared to Gu Xing and them, it seems like there was a huge gap. These so-called geniuses of noble families seemed not impressive after all!

Wu Xuan and Ling Xiao would probably be depressed if they knew what Xiaoyao thought. Although they weren’t the best geniuses around, they were still far from ordinary talents.

The fact that they could reach peak Imperial stage was quite rare already, stepping into Saint stage in a few years, and after decades of cultivation, perhaps even reaching God rank!

Mmm, it's all about time. Without the accumulation of time, how can one have such strength

These geniuses from noble families were usually older, generally stepping into Saint stage at around 40 years old. They could reach peak Imperial stage by their mid-twenties which was already very impressive.

Even those who step into Saint stage after forty are still considered geniuses. Those who can become Saints in their forties have a chance of reaching God rank too.

The number of people at the Saint level isn’t that many, less than 1000, and even fewer for Gods!

If Xiaoyao kept going like this, he could become God Rank as well but it would take him at least twenty years, under the condition of no accidents.

Currently, those who can't reach God rank can still kill him. Because they are currently higher than him in terms of power and time is a strange thing; while you're progressing, others are too, and if you lag behind, others won’t wait for you to catch up.

You could say that time is also a kind of strength!

Even someone who can become God Rank at twenty years old could be killed by an ordinary person who hasn't reached Saint stage but has already stepped into the Imperial stage when he was ten. That person would just be considered another dead genius.

Time is fair because it doesn’t give anyone extra seconds, but time is also unfair as it won’t compensate later arrivals with more time.

To catch up to others, one must first run faster than them, and then, one needs time!

Xiaoyao needed time. Every year that passed, Gu Xing would get much stronger. Of course, he himself would also become a lot stronger, although it wouldn’t be on par with her.

In a few years, even Wu Clan wouldn't make him scared anymore. However, while saying he won’t fear them doesn’t mean he could compete with them. Some noble families have God Rank figures as their backing; such people cannot be contested by Saint and below.

Others might not even have one God Rank figure but have a certain number of Saints, which is still very troublesome.

Of course, this wasn’t something Xiaoyao needed to worry about because he was just checking his background. Even Wu Clan wouldn't send a God Rank person to chase him away for that reason; even Saint ranks would find it difficult to mobilize over such trivial matters as they were not going to war, which is fundamentally different.

The worst case scenario would be being schemed against and chased by some experts. But Xiaoyao wasn't afraid of these things, not even at his current level!

To say why Xiaoyao thought they weren’t strong, it was partly because of Gu Xing and partly due to the group he met earlier: Heart Moon Fox and her two maids who were also Imperial stage with their youth.

With maids like this, naturally, he would see Wu Clan's Ling Xiao and Zhuo Clan’s Thunder differently. The result made him slightly disappointed.

Disappointed though, he still watched on; indeed worthy of the title "Phoenix House" Martial Skill, every strike carried a strong fiery aura as it was like a phoenix.

"Phoenix Divine Power!"

Zhuo Thunder turned his spear into a flaming meteor and smashed toward Wu Lingxiao. The flames were real; even Xiaoyao standing nearby could feel the heat, let alone Wu Lingxiao in its range.

"Turtle True Qi!"

Wu Lingxiao’s body was covered with a glow as her internal qi seemed like armor!

This was their duel. Besides clashing techniques, there were also the most fundamental clashes of internal energy. Xiaoyao had never seen such an internal clash before; not that he hadn't seen internal clashes but this kind.

The Wu Xuan Lingxiao seemed to be covered in armor when she was releasing the Black Warrior True Energy, and her defense was so strong that it left people speechless. No wonder her Sword Dao had defensive elements.

This was actually a special aspect of the Black Warrior True Energy. Just like the Black Warrior himself, his defenses were unmatched, but not everyone could cultivate this effect with the Black Warrior True Energy; only those from the Black Warrior clan who possessed the Black Warrior bloodline could achieve it.

That's why preserving the bloodline is crucial - because of the bloodline's abilities. There are many bloodline techniques here that require a specific bloodline, and each bloodline in the Four Symbols Clan has strong abilities.

This is one reason why the Four Symbols Clan can rule over the Azure Dragon Empire: they possess powerful bloodlines!

Why Xianyao could come here was also because he had a bloodline flowing through him, but which one it belonged to, he didn't know, as there's no way to trace it back.

Before the bloodline is activated, there are no abilities!

Might this be a Demon Sect bloodline He doesn’t even know what the Demon Sect is called here, although that Demon Sect Chronicle did give some hints. However, Xianyao currently can't understand them.

And whether or not it's actually a Demon Sect bloodline remains to be seen; perhaps other bloodlines could also produce such effects.

To begin with, if Xianyao knew his own bloodline, he wouldn’t need to look for answers about his origins because the answer would already be there!

"Bloodlines are indeed the most annoying!" Xianyao frowned. With added bloodline abilities, some techniques could become more powerful and even make up for certain weaknesses. It would then be impossible to use methods to break through them.

Of course, this doesn't mean there's no way at all; it just means things get much trickier!

One thing is that having a bloodline doesn’t necessarily make one stronger than those without. It merely gives the person with the bloodline an advantage, but as they progress further, the impact of their bloodline ability decreases. By the time they reach the late Saint stage, it's almost negligible.

But how many people actually get to this point

Generally speaking, those with a bloodline will be slightly stronger at the same level – an advantage that doesn't require effort, but which families possessing such bloodlines must maintain!

"I need to find a way to obtain Ruoque's martial arts..." Xianyao thought silently as he watched Thunderous Ruoque. He didn’t actually dislike bloodline techniques; it would be nice to study them.

Black Warrior’s That had already been researched – don't forget where Xianyao is now, and how many ways there are for him to obtain the methods of cultivating Black Warrior True Energy.

The Black Warrior Clan doesn’t place as much importance on their techniques for the Black Warrior True Energy, not fearing others stealing them. Without the Black Warrior bloodline, even if one were to practice these techniques, they would just be ordinary advanced martial arts at most.

Because of this, almost everyone with a bloodline has their own copy of the techniques, making it easier for them to acquire them and not so secretive within their clan. As Xianyao was now part of the Black Warrior Clan, he could also get his hands on these techniques.

Xianyao may never have obtained the cultivation methods of the Black Warrior True Energy directly, but through various channels, he had acquired the entire set of techniques for it – one quite representative in nature. Xianyao naturally wanted to possess this technique as well.

Now, watching these two duel, there was a feeling that it resembled a battle between the Black Warrior and Ruoque: although Ruoque's attacks were quick and powerful, the Black Warrior remained steady, countering with defense. Each move wasn't fast but effective.

The characteristic of the Ruoque spear techniques lies in their offensive power and speed, while the Black Warrior’s is its defensive strength. Both women knew well their strengths and showcased them perfectly.

From this perspective alone, they had indeed grounds to be proud, living up to being called prodigies within their clans.

But Xianyao was growing increasingly bored watching them fight; their martial arts were already apparent, no longer fresh and exciting. Moreover, neither seemed to have a death-defying spirit in combat but rather held back, making the duel nothing more than a routine sparring session, only useful for practicing moves.

To use Xianyao's words: it wasn't as interesting as when Miss Lady and Nan Gong Susan fight to the death...

"Eh There’s actually a fishing rod... Well, I’m bored, might as well go fishing..."

When Xianyao was feeling bored, he noticed a fishing rod by the lake. It didn't look like it had just been left there but rather for a few days; someone fighting nearby may have dropped it.

Dig up some earthworms and go fishing!

Of course, he couldn’t fish near them due to all the noise. The center of the lake was better, with several stepping stones around.

This would normally require a small boat, but Xianyao now had King stage strength and, given his excellent lightness skills, he could simply glide over in just a few steps.

Such a skill isn’t surprising at the King stage; even an Officer-stage martial artist can achieve it without anyone finding it strange.

Fishing is a good activity – all you need to do is set your bait and wait. The number of fish caught isn't important; what's most exciting is when one actually bites, that moment being the best part. (To be continued) Fuhai's eyes lit up and he immediately abandoned his horse to fly back.If Xiaoyao had brought everyone here, then it was clear that everything had been set up. He had prepared a trap right there whic...
