Chapter 82 - 82: Mysterious Yellow and Thick Earth
Boom boom boom boom!!
In the base’s Personal Cultivation Room, Jack Clark’s figure moved like the wind, and every action exploded with terrifying power.
Every punch landed on an alloy steel pillar wrapped in mutated beast skin, causing the two-meter high, half-meter diameter pillar to shake continuously and the air to explode.
When each foot landed on the ground, the ground quivered, like angry elephants stepping on the ground, and the aura was ferocious.
With 185 strength attribute points, Jack’s basic arm strength reached a terrifying 2100 kg.
Add to that the threefold increase from Dragon Elephant Power, the explosive force of True Strength, and the acceleration of the kinetic energy from movement, his casual punch now exceeds ten tons.
Ten tons of solidified force concentrated on the size of a fist, hitting out at an extremely fast speed, causes a tremendous pressure every time it lands on the alloy steel pillar.
As for the backlash strength of punches and kicks on flesh, it was directly blocked by the strong defense of the elephant print pattern after breaking through, allowing him to vent the explosive power within his body freely.
This is the main strength and defense characteristic of Dragon Elephant Power. After cultivation, it significantly enhances power explosion and defense, although it is slightly weaker in agility.
Rumble!
Suddenly, Jack let out a low growl like an elephant, his muscles swelled and his entire body surged up, the momentum on his bodyincreased several times, and his arms, thick as pillars, slammed down.
Boom!
In an instant, the air exploded, and circles of transparent shockwaves burst open. The solid and heavy alloy pillar made a screeching noise, and even metal cracks appeared at the welding points below.
The third layer move of Dragon Elephant Power, angry elephants trampling the sky.
An instant explosion of Unrivaled Domineering Power to shatter enemies, different from the second move sweep, belongs to a single burst killing move.
Huff!
Jack slowly gasped and stopped, dripping with sweat. At this moment, he only felt a refreshing feeling all over his body.
This feeling of venting power was too invigorating.
After a short rest, Jack looked at the remaining attribute points and decided not to use them to strengthen his weapon. Instead, he planned to save up for two more days to break through Heart’s Eye Bright Knife.
As the Dragon Elephant Power he practiced had the characteristic of amplifying strength, the power of the True Strength sword qi that it attached to the weapon when he reached the Third Layer Heaven was average and not as sharp as the Sword Skill after breaking through.
The difference between the two is like that of a rough iron sword and a steel sword. One seems sharp but blunts after a few cuts, while the other is tough and sharp and can cut hair with a single blow.
True Martial Cultivation at the Third Layer Heaven is a small watershed. Those who cultivate with matching sword and knife skills in their main cultivation methods will display their advantages at this time.
In the early stage, they are mediocre in all aspects, their single strength burst can’t compare to Jack, and their speed and agility can’t compare to others. But after breaking through the Third Layer Heaven, their killing power soars.
Unrivaled Sword Qi, sharp sword light, and even stronger lethality.
Unless Jack and the others also cultivate a set of sword or knife techniques, doing so would disperse their energy a lot, so each has its advantages and disadvantages.
It’s four o’clock in the afternoon.
Under the sunlight, Jack, dressed in a red-trimmed black military uniform, was walking in the base, preparing to head back when he heard the “one, two, one, two” chant ahead.
He saw more than thirty soldiers led by Second Lieutenant Jason Raven, running around the base with weight-bearing armor weighing more than 100 kg on their bodies.
Not only did Jack and the others get two days of rest after the battle last night, but these soldiers also had two days of respite.
When seeing Jack, Jason shouted, “Salute!”
Immediately, the thirty people lined up in two rows saluted Jack neatly, making him hurriedly return the salute, but his movements seemed somewhat clumsy.
He couldn’t help it. He had never been in the military before, and suddenly gaining the identity of a special forces soldier took some getting used to. His military salute was learned by imitating others.
Jason chuckled, “Comrade Jack, did you just finish cultivating?”
Jack nodded, “Yes, you guys are also doing your training.”
“Yeah, these guys slept as soon as they got back yesterday. To keep their spirits up, I’m making them run a dozen laps.”
After exchanging greetings, Jason continued to lead his subordinates in Qi Blood training, while Jack returned to the hotel next to the base.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Justin Welan sitting cross-legged on the floor, meditating, with a blue crystal and a yellow crystal in his hands, surrounded by a vast aura.lt seemed that Justin Welan heard the door open, and he slowly opened his eyes.
Jack Clark was a bit surprised: “Mr. Willard, how come you came back so early today? Didn’t you practice with the other students?”
These few days, Justin had been patrolling and going on missions in the morning, practicing shield battles in the training field in the afternoon, and moving True Strength only in the evenings.
Of course, his afternoon practice was actually him holding a heavy shield for the other students to attack at will, and then mockingly ridiculing them for not being able to push him back even half a step.
“I have to work hard.”
Justin looked envious: “Howard Lee is going to refine almost seven portions of Level 3 Mutant Beast Blood Essence this time, and they are from bovine mutant beasts that perfectly fit his cultivation method.”
“Once he refines those blood essences, not only will his strength skyrocket, he might even break through the Third Layer Heaven soon.”
Jack was surprised: “Is his Blood Essence absorption rate that high?”
Under normal conditions, cultivators have an absorption limit for each kind of resource, just like drug resistance, including Life Crystals.
The same goes for Demonic Beast Blood Essence, with the first absorption being the most effective and then gradually decreasing, by the fourth portion, the effect is almost negligible.
Level 3 Bovine Mutant Beast Blood Essence costs 10 Contribution Points per portion, obtained by refining the mutant beast’s blood, muscle, and bone marrow.
After refining, the value of the beast’s flesh and blood drops significantly, making most of it useless.
Moreover, the price of having an expert refine the mutant beast’s blood essences is high. Howard Lee spent more than 500,000 on it, which might earn him some Contribution Points, but the total won’t be much.
Naturally, Jack wouldn’t be at a loss either. After all, with the official recycling rate, he would get 12 Contribution Points, which is only worth a little over 10,000 yuan.
“Jack, have you forgotten that his cultivation skill compatibility is at a perfect level?”
“Under such conditions, his speed, power, and efficiency in using Blood Essences and resources are extremely exaggerated. He could absorb up to ten portions without a problem.”
“So exaggerated?” Jack was surprised.
Although his Dragon Elephant Power is said to have a high compatibility level, he knew it was fake, so he didn’t have a clear idea of how good the compatibility really was.
Justin rolled his eyes: “Your Dragon Elephant Power is only of high compatibility and it’s already so fierce. He, on the other hand, has perfect compatibility with his Advanced Skill, so of course, it’s exaggerated.”
“If anyone in our enrollment can catch up to Jane Aiken, Howard Lee has the best chance.”
“This guy has Innate Divine Strength, and he also has a perfect match with the Ox Devil Mountain-Shaking Formula, an Advanced Strength Skill. Once he accumulates enough power, he will soar into the sky.”
Jack exclaimed: “Amazing, it seems 1 need to practice even harder.”
At this point, Justin said with a smirk: “But he has a lot of Demonic Beast Blood Essences to help him, and I have the Mysterious Yellow Crystal. Once 1 break through the Third Layer Heaven, I might catch up to him.”
“Mysterious Yellow Crystal.” Jack looked at the earthy yellow crystal in his hand.
Justin proudly said: “Yes, that’s it. My brother sent it to me from the mythical world. It’s a high-level resource containing the aura of Solid Earth.”
“After absorbing the aura of Solid Earth from inside, my Black Tortoise Solid Earth Skill’s defense will become stronger, and my body will become a Mysterious Yellow Body containing the aura of Solid Earth.”
“Haven’t you noticed that my defense has gotten stronger recently? Last night, I was hit and flew twice by that mutant beast, but I was fine, all because of the absorption of the Solid Earth Aura.”
“…Damn.” Staring at the smug Justin, Jack remained silent for a while before finally uttering a curse.
Shit, Jack really wanted to punch him. At that moment, he suddenly felt an itch in his hand and wanted to give Justin a good beating.
Let this guy brag for a while.
However, why the aura inside the Mysterious Yellow Crystal was a Solid Earth aura, Jack was too lazy to ask.
While feeling envious, Jack took a cup of tea and went out to the balcony to bask in the sun and soothe his emotions. At the same time, he planned to practice by taking on the persona of the Heavy Armored Beast, slaughtering the opponent.
Looking at Jack’s frustrated face on the balcony, Justin started to snicker.
Alright, it’s your turn to be envious. Relying on your Dragon Elephant Power’s high compatibility and its overbearing strength, you always show off during fights. It’s about time you experienced some envy.”
But looking at Jack, it seems like his strength has improved again. The invisible oppressive aura he exuded when he came in earlier made me feel a bit uncomfortable.
I have to work harder. Thinking of this, Justin closed his eyes and continued his cultivation..
