Chapter 206: Chapter 46 Dragon Egg Hatching_2
"You’re awake, child. The Fruit of Past Life has indeed remarkable potency!"
Ah Dai clearly distinguished that the voice was coming from behind him. With a thought, he turned around, only to see the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang sitting cross-legged on a large rock not far from him. His complexion seemed not as rosy as before, revealing a hint of fatigue. Ah Dai asked, "Master, was it you who helped me enhance my power?"
The Sword Saint of the Tian Gang slightly nodded, saying, "You could put it that way. I transferred a tenth of my power to you, while also triggering the energy from the Fruit of Past Life remaining in your veins. The result was much better than I expected. Your cultivation technique has broken through to the sixth realm, and is reaching the seventh."
Ah Dai was startled and asked, "Master, if you’ve transferred your power to me, can you still recover it?"
The Sword Saint of the Tian Gang replied lightly, "Power can naturally be recovered, but it will take several years of cultivation." A tenth of the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang’s power is equivalent to a decade of hard work for an ordinary person. Although he spoke lightly, he did not mention the danger he faced when transferring power to Ah Dai. It’s not hard to lend someone your power temporally, but it is extremely difficult to transfer all of your power to someone else completely. If it should fail, the person transferring their power would also be affected.
Ah Dai stood there, stunned, and after a while, he said, "Master, how could I accept your power? You should take it back."
The Sword Saint of the Tian Gang gave a faint smile, saying, "Silly boy, once given, power can’t be taken back. As long as you cultivate diligently in the future and help the Tian Gang Sword Sect flourish, it will be the best reward for me. I am old, and there’s not much use in retaining so much power. It’s better to pass it on to you. You’re still young and can put it to good use in the future. Although your body has greatly benefited from the nourishment of the Fruit of Past Life, it cannot bear too much of my power now. You must cultivate diligently in the next six months. Understand? Half a year is indeed a short time, but as long as you accept another tenth of my power, you should be able to move around the continent quite smoothly." The reason why the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang transferred his power to Ah Dai was not only because of his good nature. He also projected his guilt towards Owen onto Ah Dai, thus helping him without hesitation.
Ah Dai no longer seemed as naive as before. He quickly fell to his knees, paying his respects to the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang, saying, "Thank you, Master, for granting me this opportunity."
The soft wind blew past as the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang lifted Ah Dai. "It’s just the two of us here, there’s no need to be so formal. Your power has reached the sixth realm, you can now learn the new techniques I have created. Watch closely." The Sword Saint of the Tian Gang took flight, his right hand extending with a white light flickering in his palm. Silvery energy of crystalline purity emanated from his hand. The silver energy kept flowing, gradually erecting within his palm into the shape of a silver sword.
Ah Dai, amazed, could hardly close his mouth as he involuntarily exclaimed, "Master, can you use magic? How could you form an Energy Sword without chanting a spell?"
The Sword Saint of the Tian Gang caught the Energy Sword, much like the Tian Gang Sword in his hand, he floated back down in front of Ah Dai, smiling, "Look carefully. Yes, this indeed is an Energy Sword, but it’s not magic. It’s True Qi, the True Qi of Life. It is formed by condensing the True Qi within my body into a solid form. It’s the technique I want to teach you. The Liquid Sword, formed by True Qi, has tremendous power. It’s equivalent to you directly attacking your enemy with True Qi. Even if the opponent uses a divine weapon, they might not be able to withstand it. This sword is interconnected with the user’s mind. When your martial arts skills are profound, you can change its shape at will during battle, transforming into a weapon your enemy would find difficult to guard against. Of course, to reach this level, you still have a lot to learn." As he spoke, the silver sword in the Sword Saint’s hand began to change shape, sometimes becoming a shield, sometimes turning into a long spear, ever-changing, leaving Ah Dai in awe.
"This area is too small, I’m afraid I might damage the cave, so I won’t display its power. Remember, once you can form a Tian Gang Sword as massive as the one in the main hall of the Sword Sect at any time and manipulate it into any form, you can say that you’ve mastered this technique. I must confess, at the height of my powers, I could only conjure an Energy Sword about eight feet long. Now, after transferring a tenth of my power to you, I certainly can’t do it. I named this technique Life Transformation. I hope it will be widely proliferated in your hands."
Ah Dai was already captivated by this martial arts technique that seemed more magical than magic, "Master, martial arts can also be used in this way! Please teach me, I’ll be sure to study earnestly."
The Sword Saint of the Tian Gang smiled and said, "If you completely master this technique, you can surpass me. Its power can be described as invincible, and is no less than that of the Sword of Hades. Although magic has its characteristics, even a Forbidden Curse from the union of the Pope and the priests would find it hard to break through the fortress formed by my True Qi. I realized this technique ten years ago. It’s founded on profound Life Qi. Your main task now is to practice the technique of controlling it. As for power, it can not be cultivated in a day or two." Actually, the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang underestimated the power of the Sword of Hades. The power of the Hades Decision is stronger the close it gets to the ninth, which was beyond his imagination.
