Chapter 943: Chapter 46 Dragon Egg Hatching_2
"You’re awake, child. The Fruit of Past Life really does have an extraordinary effect!"
Ah Dai could clearly discern the voice as coming from behind him. With a single thought, his body turned around, only to see the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang seated cross-legged on a large rock not far from him. The Sword Saint’s complexion didn’t seem as ruddy as before, hinting at a hint of fatigue. Ah Dai said, "Mentor, was it you who helped to enhance my power?"
The Sword Saint of the Tian Gang nodded slightly and said, "You could say that. I transferred ten percent of my power to you while also stimulating the latent effect of the Fruit of Past Life within your veins. The result is much better than I expected. Your Life and Creation Techniques have broken through to the sixth realm, approaching the seventh."
Ah Dai was shocked and said, "Mentor, if you transferred your power to me, can you recover?"
The Sword Saint of the Tian Gang spoke indifferently, "Naturally, the power can be recovered, but it will take a few more years of cultivation." Ten percent of the Sword Saint’s power was equivalent to an ordinary person’s ten years of arduous training. He might have spoken lightly, but he did not mention the dangers he faced when transferring his power to Ah Dai. It’s not difficult to temporarily lend one’s power to another, but to completely transfer one’s power to another person, making it the recipient’s own power, is very difficult. Should the process fail, the one giving the power would also be affected.
Ah Dai stood there dumbfounded for a long while before saying, "Mentor, how can I accept your power? Please take it back."
The Sword Saint of the Tian Gang gave a faint smile and said, "Silly child, once the power is given, it cannot be taken back. As long as you cultivate diligently in the future and help to spread the glory of the Tian Gang Sword Sect, that will be the best repayment to me. I’m old, what use is keeping so much power? It’s better to pass it on to you. You’re still young and will need it in the future. Child, although your body has already improved greatly under the nourishment of the Fruit of Past Life, it still cannot withstand too much of my power. You must diligently apply yourself in the next half a year, do you understand? Half a year is indeed a short time, but as long as you accept another ten percent of my power, you should be able to move about the continent with relative ease." The Sword Saint transferred his power to Ah Dai not only because of Ah Dai’s good nature, but more importantly, he invested his own debt of gratitude towards Owen entirely in Ah Dai. That’s why he did not hesitate to exhaust his power to help him.
Ah Dai had become less dull than before and quickly knelt on the ground with a thud, knocking his head against the ground three times toward the Sword Saint and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Mentor."
A gentle breeze blew, and the Sword Saint lifted Ah Dai’s body, "It’s just the two of us here; there’s no need for such formalities. Your power has already reached the sixth realm, so you can start learning the new techniques I’ve created. Watch carefully." The Sword Saint rose into the air, extended his right hand, and a white glow flickered in his palm. A stream of resplendent Silver Energy emerged from his palm. The Silver Energy kept bubbling up and gradually stood erect in the Sword Saint’s palm, turning into a Silver Sword.
Ah Dai was so astonished that he was speechless, exclaiming, "Mentor, can you perform magic too? How can you conjure an Energy Sword without chanting?"
The Sword Saint wielded the Energy Sword, which resembled the Tian Gang Sword, floated before Ah Dai, and said with a smile, "Take a close look. Indeed, this is an Energy Sword, but it’s not magic; it is True Qi, Life-Generating True Qi. Mentor used his body’s Life-Generating True Qi to condense it into a solid state to form it. This is the technique that Mentor wants to teach you. Since the Liquid Sword is formed from True Qi, its power is tremendous, akin to attacking the enemy directly with your True Qi. Even if your opponent wields a Divine weapon, they may not be able to withstand it. This sword is connected to its owner’s mind. When you become more powerful, you can change its form during battle to create a weapon that leaves your enemies totally unprepared. Of course, to reach such a level, you have much to learn." As he spoke, the Sword Saint’s Silver Sword transformed, changing into a Shield, then a Long Spear, its form shifting endlessly, leaving Ah Dai utterly astounded.
"This place is too small, and I’m afraid of damaging the stone chamber, so I won’t demonstrate its full power. Remember, when you can conjure up an Energy Sword as massive as the ones in the main hall of the Sword Sect at any time and command it to change into any shape, that’s when you will have mastered this technique. It’s embarrassing to say, but when my power was at its peak, I could only conjure up an Energy Sword about eight feet in length. Now that I’ve transferred some of my power to you, it’s even less possible. I call this technique Life Variation. I hope it will be brought to its full potential by you in the future."
Ah Dai was already captivated by this martial arts technique more magical than magic itself, "Mentor, so martial arts can also be used in this way! Teach me, I will study hard."
The Sword Saint of the Tian Gang smiled and said, "If you fully master this technique, you can surpass Mentor. Its power is immense, virtually indestructible, and not at all inferior to the Sword of Hades. Magic certainly has its unique properties, but even the Forbidden Curses unleashed by the Pope and his priests are unlikely to penetrate my aura of fighting spirit. This technique is something I grasped only ten years ago. Its foundation is the profound Life-Generating fighting spirit. Right now, you mainly need to practice its manipulation skills; as for cultivating the power itself, it cannot be achieved overnight." In truth, the Sword Saint still underestimated the power of the Sword of Hades; as the forbidden techniques of Hades progressed, their power would grow, surpassing anything he could imagine.
