Qin Hao did not hesitate and learned both techniques at once.
Ding! Learned Coiling Dragon Divine Body! Ding! Learned Turtle Shell Art!
All in! Seeing that he had learned both techniques, Qin Hao dumped all his attribute points into them in one go.
Ding! Coiling Dragon Divine Body, first level! Ding! Turtle Shell Art, first level! Ding! Coiling Dragon Art, second level! Ding! Turtle Shell Art, second level!
Ding! Turtle Shell Art, sixth level! Technique upgraded to maximum level! Ding! Coiling Dragon Divine Body, fifth level!
At that moment, the system notification sounded. All attribute points had been used up, and the Turtle Shell Art had also reached its maximum, sixth level.
Fortunately, both techniques had improved greatly, especially the Turtle Shell Art, which had already reached maximum level!
Ding! Congratulations, Host, on raising two techniques to maximum level. The system rewards you with a technique: Golden Bell Shield Iron Cloth Shirt.
Seeing this unexpected delight, Qin Hao had not expected that merely raising the Barbarian Bull Fist and Turtle Shell Art to maximum level would earn him the system's reward of the Golden Bell Shield Iron Cloth Shirt!
But before he could celebrate, Qin Hao felt a vast force within his body surging wildly in every direction!
He drew a deep breath and began circulating his breath according to the method for cultivating the Turtle Shell Art that had appeared in his mind.
The Turtle Shell Art, as its name implied, focused on hard-body training. To cultivate it, one had to merge one's breath with the rigid Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth.
This would produce a body like dark iron. Qin Hao's body began to tremble faintly, his muscles seemingly bearing immense pressure.
Streams of power rampaged through his body, causing him unbearable agony.
The Coiling Dragon Divine Body, meanwhile, was an even more domineering body-tempering technique.
It required the cultivator to merge his breath with the vitality between heaven and earth, achieving a body like a divine dragon.
That vigorous power continuously stimulated and nourished Qin Hao's flesh. His body had turned crimson, like a boiled lobster.
Heat continuously gushed from Qin Hao's body, and steam emitted from within him now filled the area around him.
"Look! What's wrong with that kid?!" By then, the dust had dispersed. Jiang Yin had just raised his head when he noticed Qin Hao's body was abnormally red, as though he had been roasted by fire, with heat constantly spraying from him.
Hearing Jiang Yin's warning, Bai Tianyang also withdrew his true qi and looked toward Qin Hao, a troubled expression appearing on his face!
He could see that Qin Hao's strength was constantly rising.
"Damn it! That kid's strength is constantly increasing! How is that possible?! How could his strength increase so much in just a few minutes?!"
"Could it be caused by an increase in his bloodline concentration?"
Seeing Qin Hao's abnormal state, the old man kept making guesses in his mind.
Because this was the only way one could possibly increase one's strength drastically in such a short time without outside interference.
"Ah!" The power brought by the two techniques continuously tore at Qin Hao's flesh, wave after wave of excruciating pain stabbing at his nerves.
The pain involved in this method of cultivation was beyond words.
Yet Qin Hao's skin gradually became harder, as though an invisible wall of qi protected him.
His muscles also began to swell madly. In that brief span of time, his height had astonishingly shot up to two meters sixty!
Qin Hao's eyes turned blood-red. Though he was in incomparable pain, his heart was filled with longing for power.
As time passed, Qin Hao's aura grew increasingly powerful.
He felt his defense constantly improving, as though no attack, no matter what it was, could injure him.
He knew that this was the combined effect of the Turtle Shell Art and Coiling Dragon Divine Body, making his physical body incomparably tough.
However, the process of improvement was exceptionally painful.
Every inch of Qin Hao's skin seemed to be torn apart, and every breath felt like he was bearing the weight of ten thousand catties.
But he did not give up. He knew that only by enduring such pain could he obtain great power.
Time slowly passed amid cultivation, and Qin Hao's aura became increasingly stable. His muscles and skin had reached an astonishing state, as though he had truly become a giant clad in divine iron.
Just as Qin Hao had nearly exhausted that force, he felt another change occur in his bloodline.
Ding! Bloodline concentration increasing!
The increase in bloodline concentration made him feel even more light and airy.
He felt as though he had transformed into a dragon. The power originating from the depths of his bloodline left him shaken.
Qin Hao opened his eyes and looked at the bright moon in the sky, his heart filled with satisfaction.
"Phew~"
Qin Hao let out a heavy breath and opened his attribute panel.
Bloodline: Divine Thunder Barbarian Dragon bloodline Name: Qin Hao Strength: Five Elephant Power 273600 Techniques: Barbarian Bull Fist maxed, Dragon-Elephant Prajna second level 0/20000, Coiling Dragon Divine Body fifth level 0/10000, Turtle Shell Art maxed Attribute Points: 23 Bloodline: Divine Thunder Barbarian Dragon bloodline (2%) Item: Golden Bell Shield Iron Cloth Shirt Ding! System upgrade commencing! Duration: one day...
The moment Qin Hao opened the panel, the system issued an update notification.
Fortunately, after taking a look, he discovered that his strength had doubled and his bloodline concentration had risen to two percent.
Most importantly, Qin Hao discovered that his defense had not merely improved by a little—it had increased enormously.
He just did not know what level his defense had reached, nor whether his strength of nearly three hundred thousand could break through his own defense.
Qin Hao drew a deep breath and looked toward Bai Tianyang and the others. Perhaps he was still no match for the man before him, but Qin Hao knew that this man could no longer kill him either.
At that moment, Bai Tianyang was also carefully sizing up Qin Hao. He discovered that Qin Hao's body had not only expanded to three meters tall, but his strength had grown to a terrifying extent as well.
He truly could not understand why a person could undergo such immense changes in just a few minutes. He had seen quite a few people with bloodlines, but someone like Qin Hao—he had never even heard of one.
However, seeing Qin Hao's monstrous talent, the killing intent in his eyes surged. A genius like this was either left alone, or, once enmity had been forged, exterminated root and branch!
Otherwise, he would bring endless calamity upon himself!
Thinking of this, Bai Tianyang's killing intent grew even heavier!
Qin Hao's strength had improved greatly, especially his defense, so there was not a trace of fear in his eyes either.
He planned to test the gap between himself and a cultivator at the peak of the Spirit Transformation realm once more.
Qin Hao's gaze was sharp. Lightning clung to his arms, forming a pair of dragon claws.
"Old man! Let this young master have another taste of your strength, hehe!" With that, Qin Hao lowered his body, his legs acting like springs as they launched him forward.
He transformed into a blue-white flash and charged straight toward Bai Tianyang and the others.
