Eleven Dragon Power

Nan Xiaopao walked out of the bathroom and changed into sportswear: a long-sleeved white shirt similar to Su Yi's on top, and black athletic pants below.

"This outfit is still easier to move around in. I nearly fell to my death running in that qipao earlier. You should be glad that youthful, adorable me is still alive and can keep acting cute for you."

Nan Xiaopao combed through her beautiful hair as she walked toward Su Yi.

From beginning to end, she never asked why Su Yi had been able to slay the giant python earlier.

Su Yi took a deep breath and quietly placed the Demon Emperor Divine Technique into the Dao Vault. Rising to his feet, he said, "We're no longer on Earth. We're in Desolate Ancient now. I need to cultivate. Keep watch for me, and don't let anyone enter."

He could still trust Nan Xiaopao.

Nan Xiaopao had almost no secrets from him. She called him every day to chat and complain about everything she encountered during the day. Usually, she talked while Su Yi listened. This girl deliberately often mentioned how she rejected her admirers, wanting to provoke Su Yi, but unfortunately, he remained unmoved.

"Wow, you can cultivate? Are you some kind of immortal? I knew you weren't ordinary—you really were deceiving me!"

Nan Xiaopao said in amazement. Without giving Su Yi a chance to answer, she waved her hand. "Go on, then. Once you become stronger, you have to protect me properly!"

"If I stay alive, you might have one more wife in the future!"

Su Yi was stunned by what he heard. He shook his head with a smile, then walked toward the balcony.

The Demon Emperor Divine Technique required absorbing the essence of the sun and moon to cultivate. Since it was daytime, he had to cultivate on the balcony.

He arrived at the balcony and sat down cross-legged on the floor. Following the cultivation method, he began to breathe and regulate his qi—three inhalations, one exhalation, repeating the cycle.

Cultivation was tedious at the start. Many people needed several days, or even longer, before they could sense spiritual qi.

Fortunately, Su Yi was steady-minded and patient. He was in no hurry.

Nan Xiaopao sat on the bed, leaning against the table beside it. With both hands cupping her cheeks, she gazed at Su Yi's back and giggled foolishly.

"Mommy, I knew the person I liked wouldn't be bad! Hehe!"

After giggling for a while, she took out her phone and called her parents, but neither could be reached. There was not even a signal for internet access.

This time, she completely gave up hope. It seemed that, just as the mysterious Xuanyuan Human Emperor had said, they had truly arrived in Desolate Ancient.

After all, Earth could not possibly have such enormous pythons.

Ten minutes later.

Su Yi miraculously felt a current of heat slip into every pore of his body, flow into his blood, and race into his muscles. It was incomparably warm. The sensation was so comfortable that he nearly cried out.

Is this cultivation?

Su Yi was exhilarated. He suddenly remembered his Dragon Strength Pills.

The Demon Emperor Divine Technique recorded that, aside from absorbing the Sun Essence and Moon Essence, the Demon Race could also devour other demon beasts to strengthen their qi and blood. Taking a single Dragon Strength Pill could grant One Dragon Power. Naturally, he did not want to miss this chance.

Thus, he took out a bottle of Dragon Strength Pills, poured out one pill, carefully broke it in half, and put one half into his mouth.

Zhouwu Sword's example forced him to be cautious. If the medicinal power was too strong and burst his body apart, that would be a tragedy.

The moment half a Dragon Strength Pill entered his body, Su Yi felt his entire body explode. An indescribably powerful source of heat ravaged its way down from his throat. The extreme pain nearly made him collapse, yet no sound could leave his throat, and his body began to tremble.

Nan Xiaopao noticed this scene and could not help growing nervous. But she did not dare make a sound to disturb Su Yi and could only stare at him closely.

"Aaaahhh—"

A scalp-numbing scream suddenly rang out from the campus outside the dormitory building, making Nan Xiaopao shudder.

Su Yi heard it as well, but he could not open his eyes. He could only circulate the cultivation method of the Demon Emperor Divine Technique and desperately work to consume the Dragon Strength Pill.

More and more screams sounded from every corner of the campus, turning the campus beneath the clear blue sky into a living hell.

Nan Xiaopao was so frightened that she pushed all the tables against the door, terrified that some monster might break in.

Time passed just like that.

A full hour went by.

Only then did the waves of screams throughout the campus finally stop.

Su Yi had also completely consumed that half Dragon Strength Pill. His shirt was stretched taut, and his once somewhat thin body now looked much sturdier.

He opened his eyes and exhaled a mouthful of turbid air.

Without hesitation, he swallowed the remaining half of the Dragon Strength Pill.

After taking only half a Dragon Strength Pill, he already felt as though he had become Superman. One punch could probably blast down the dormitory building.

If he took a hundred Dragon Strength Pills and gained Hundred Dragon Strength, how terrifying would that be?

Even if another hundred giant pythons like the one from before came at him, he could tear them apart with ease!

To be safe, he did not get up and go outside to check the situation. He had to become stronger, or he would not even have the strength to protect himself.

Thus, Su Yi cultivated while swallowing Dragon Strength Pills.

The first layer of Demon Qi Manifestation in the Demon Emperor Divine Technique was divided into three realms: Nine Ox Two Tiger Power, Five Elephant Power, and One Dragon Power!

Su Yi had only just begun cultivating, yet he was about to reach the highest realm of the first layer. Though in pain, he was also immensely excited.

Nan Xiaopao watched his condition the entire time. She only felt that Su Yi had become like a different person. She could tell that he was enduring tremendous pain, but Su Yi never cried out, which made her heart ache. She could only remain quiet; that was the greatest help she could offer him.

Night fell.

The campus became incomparably silent, so silent that Nan Xiaopao felt a chilling terror, as though everyone had died.

Su Yi began absorbing Moon Essence. Compared with the Sun Essence during the day, Moon Essence was incomparably cold. It happened to offset the blazing heat of the Dragon Strength Pills, leaving Su Yi no longer in pain and instead feeling wonderfully refreshed.

Strike while the iron was hot!

Su Yi planned to cultivate through the entire night and digest the Dragon Strength Pills.

Nan Xiaopao never disturbed him. When she got hungry, she rummaged through the cabinets for snacks, moving cautiously for fear of making any noise. She looked very adorable.

Late at night, Nan Xiaopao went to sleep on a bed near the balcony. The closer she was to Su Yi, the safer she felt.

In the depths of the night, terrifying roars occasionally sounded outside. Strong winds even howled past, as if some colossal creature were sweeping through the skies overhead.

The scene was just like something out of a horror movie.

Nan Xiaopao, however, slept soundly. Every so often, she murmured Su Yi's name in her sleep.

A night passed.

The first ray of sunlight streaked across the horizon as the sun rose.

Su Yi opened his eyes and rolled his neck. It crackled like beans popping in a pan, faintly accompanied by the sound of a dragon's roar.

He had consumed a total of eleven Dragon Strength Pills.

He now possessed Eleven Dragon Power!

One punch could blast apart a mountain!

Dragon power was beyond anything tiger or elephant power could compare to!

Grime had stuck his white shirt to his skin, outlining the contours of his muscles.

A complete transformation!

Even his face had become far more handsome, especially his eyes, which shone with a sharp gleam.

"From this day forward, I am no longer a mortal!"

Su Yi rose to his feet and clenched both fists. He could clearly feel the surging power within him. This unprecedented strength felt incomparably wonderful.
