Chapter 114: I Am the Strongest!
You have to know, he was still only at the Mid-Marrow Tempering Stage!
If he were to use Dragon Transformation, in addition to his various other Martial Path Intents, and even his Space Trump Card, it was absolutely possible for him to prevail against a “low-quality” Innate Realm expert from the other world while unarmed!
“Without realizing it, I’ve already reached this level.” Shen Xing looked at these stats, quite satisfied.
And this was only after a little over three months of stepping onto the Martial Path, not even four months yet.
He could already make his palms comparable to a hydraulic press and run faster than a high-speed train.
And this was still only the first stage of the path of transcendence.
Shen Xing then registered two more Martial Path Intents, both Dragon-Type. He glanced at his account again. Even after a huge expenditure yesterday, he still had about 14 billion in savings.
And his Military Rank had officially reached Second Lieutenant, entering the Warrant Officer level.
Whether it was Military Rank, Federation Currency, or Military Merit Points, he had enough to buy a planetary fully automatic warplane.
Not only was it a means of travel, but it was also a super long-range, high-firepower support. Its high-powered energy main cannon was enough to melt a building hundreds of meters tall in one shot or create a lava pit over a hundred meters in diameter on the ground.
Dealing with an unarmed Third Realm expert would be no problem.
The only problem was how to take it with him.
The only thing Shen Xing could think of right now was the Interdimensional Battlefield. That place allowed the use of all martial means. As long as you had the ability, you could even fly a spaceship into battle without any problems. It was said that the front lines were held down by super-large-scale war fortresses.
However, he would have to wait until he got there to understand the specific situation.
Shen Xing came out of the registration office and once again took the public flying vehicle, hurrying to one of the only two off-world platforms in Linjiang City.
At this moment, the platform was already crowded with people. Most of them were students returning home to visit their families, or parents coming to visit their children. Even more were those bringing their children to enroll.
And among this considerable crowd, Shen Xing almost immediately spotted his “companions” for this trip.
Because they were being watched by many people.
Each of them was young, but they all exuded the powerful aura of the Marrow Tempering Realm. Coupled with the Disciplinary Department badges they wore, it was inevitable that they would attract attention.
For the average student on the Academy Home Planet, the Disciplinary Department still held great prestige. The students in it were basically synonymous with the “elite” of the Martial Path Academy.
Shen Xing also saw Nangong Jin Yi.
She was currently chatting with a tall girl wearing a crop top, with short hair and long, beautiful legs.
That girl, at first glance, gave Shen Xing a familiar feeling.
Not in terms of appearance, but in terms of aura.
“Ten Thousand Dragons Technique.” Shen Xing murmured.
Yesterday, Lu Lan had also told him that in addition to Nangong Jin Yi, another prodigy from Bailing Academy would be joining them, apparently named Long Lei, from the Dragon Gate Association.
She also knew the Ten Thousand Dragons Technique.
It should be this person.
The Dragon Gate Association was also very special. It was an association formed by martial artists who specialized in Dragon-Type Martial Path Intents. The requirements were very high. For a First Realm martial artist to join, they not only had to be under twenty years old but also had to have at least one High-Grade or above Martial Path Intent at the Second Realm level, or be able to learn the Ten Thousand Dragons Technique.
These two requirements alone were rare across the entire Academy Home Planet.
Of course, Shen Xing was qualified.
However, Lu Lan advised him not to approach them proactively. With his talent and ability, he could afford to wait passively.
And now, a prodigy who also cultivated the Ten Thousand Dragons Technique, from the Dragon Gate, stood before him.
Seemingly sensing his gaze, the girl, who was close to 1.8 meters tall, taller than Nangong Jin Yi by more than ten centimeters, also looked over.
Just one glance, and her pupils contracted sharply!
Obviously, she had also sensed the “kindred” aura on Shen Xing’s body. More importantly, it was far stronger than hers!
“Second Realm Ten Thousand Dragons Technique?” Long Lei murmured, seemingly in disbelief.
As a prodigy cultivated by the Dragon Gate Association, she naturally knew the difficulty of cultivating the Ten Thousand Dragons Technique. This cultivation technique was not something you could master just by learning it and then frantically mastering other Dragon-Type Martial Path Intents.
The higher the quality, the harder it was to raise the realm!
That required an understanding that matched the “dragon”.
Therefore, her Ten Thousand Dragons Technique was only just at the Peak quality, just entering the Major Completion Realm.
Even so, she was already one of the most outstanding prodigies in this generation of the Dragon Gate.
And now, she suddenly saw an unfamiliar Second Realm Ten Thousand Dragons Technique?
“Second Realm Ten Thousand Dragons Technique?” Nangong Jin Yi also heard Long Lei’s murmur. She followed Long Lei’s gaze and immediately saw Shen Xing walking towards them.
For a moment, she was also stunned.
But when she felt the distinctly different aura on Shen Xing’s body, even with her composure, her mouth slightly opened, clearly very shocked.
Last time they met, he only had the aura of the Dragon Elephant Body.
◈◈◈
Now, he already carried such a burning Dragon’s Might, almost as if the words “Ten Thousand Dragons Technique Martial Artist” were written on his face, and the level was clearly extraordinary!
“Why, such an expression?” Shen Xing had already reached them, smiling as he greeted them.
“You” Nangong Jin Yi had probably never been so flustered in front of others before. Even her usual elegance was a little strained. But at this moment, she took a deep breath and managed to calm down, smiling slightly, “Congratulations every time I see you, you seem to bring me new shock.”
“Same to you.” Shen Xing smiled, “I heard that you are now a direct descendant of the Nangong Family. You really do have more of a young miss’s aura now.”
“Really, thank you for the compliment.” Nangong Jin Yi smiled, “You also have the aura of a top prodigy now, as expected of Linjiang School’s number one.”
“You flatter me.” Shen Xing’s smile widened a bit, “I say, we’re so familiar with each other, let’s not flatter each other.”
“That’s true.” Nangong Jin Yi nodded slightly, then turned to Long Lei and introduced, “This is my classmate, Long Lei. This is Shen Xing, a very good friend of mine.”
“Hello.” Shen Xing’s gaze had already been on Long Lei.
He was actually quite interested in the Dragon Gate Association.
There might be a lot of resources related to dragons inside.
Although Lu Lan advised him to be a little reserved to get better treatment, if he had the chance, he also wanted to understand the situation of this association first.
However, Long Lei’s reaction was much more cautious than Shen Xing had expected.
“I am Long Lei.” She even bowed her head slightly, “It is a great honor to meet you.”
“Hmm?”
Shen Xing was a little confused by this attitude and couldn’t help but look at Nangong Jin Yi.
“There is a unique dragon-type hierarchy culture within the Dragon Gate.” Nangong Jin Yi obviously knew a little, and explained softly, “It is also related to the Ten Thousand Dragons Technique. A higher quality Ten Thousand Dragons Technique has a very obvious suppressive effect on a lower quality one. This culture is derived from this.”
“This is the first time I’ve heard of this.” Shen Xing was quite surprised. He looked at Long Lei again and found that she was a little nervous, not daring to meet his eyes, as if she was under some pressure.
Like the oppression of bloodline levels.
“Is this more of a cultural influence, or a cultivation technique influence?” He couldn’t help but ask.
“More of a cultural influence.” Long Lei answered, still maintaining a solemn expression, “I grew up in the Dragon Gate Association since I was a child, and only came to the Academy Home Planet when I started practicing martial arts, so I am more accustomed to the Dragon Gate culture. You have reached such a level at the same age, so you deserve my respect.”
At such a close distance, Long Lei could clearly feel that the Ten Thousand Dragons Technique of the person in front of her was not just high in realm.
The quality was also extremely high.
It was very likely that he had already learned all the First Realm Dragon-Type Martial Path Intents. To be able to reach such a realm with such high quality meant that his talent in the Ten Thousand Dragons Technique was far above hers.
Although it was a bit of a blow, the Dragon Gate culture was like this ━ all Ten Thousand Dragons Technique practitioners were extremely domineering, even arrogant, and would only recognize martial artists who were stronger than them in the Ten Thousand Dragons Technique.
Because they firmly believed that the Ten Thousand Dragons Technique was the strongest martial art that surpassed everything!
However, the Ten Thousand Dragons Technique had not been around for very long after all, and this belief belonging to a minority of martial artists was not widely known. Shen Xing also didn’t know. He was just a little surprised by the unique culture within the Dragon Gate.
But that was it.
It was normal for the strong to be respected. Ever since he learned the Ten Thousand Dragons Technique, he had often experienced similar gazes on the Academy Home Planet. Not to mention in the other world, he was already used to it.
To put it bluntly, the unique aura of “Dragon’s Might” seemed to exist to be above all living beings.
Therefore, he didn’t pay any more attention to Long Lei’s attitude at this time. He just nodded slightly, and then looked around.
Then he found that the gazes of the dozen or so prodigies from various schools who had come were almost all focused on him, and each one was more cautious and serious than the last, as if they were feeling immense pressure.
Shen Xing suddenly understood.
The aura of the Ten Thousand Dragons Technique couldn’t be suppressed. Just from the looks of it, his strength was undoubtedly the strongest!
It was inevitable that it would put pressure on others.
Yesterday, Lu Lan had already given him a heads-up. From the moment he stepped onto the stage of this generation’s prodigy competition, he was destined to be unable to keep a low profile.
The weight of the Second Realm Ten Thousand Dragons Technique was right here.
“Don’t just stare at me.” Shen Xing smiled slightly and said loudly, “If you think you have a chance, you’re welcome to challenge me at any time.”
That’s right, what stood out was confidence.
Since he couldn’t keep a low profile, then he might as well be high-profile!
I am the strongest!
Anyone who disagrees, come up and challenge me!
And facing his gaze, one by one, they couldn’t help but avert their eyes.
Obviously, none of them had that confidence.
Shen Xing directly suppressed all the prodigies present!
At least here, he was the undisputed number one, standing at a height that all the prodigies present had to look up to!
