Free Web NovelChapter 88: Strength Gap
"You claim you can take us out, but how can I trust you?"
A short old man sat on a couch and asked. He had curly grey hair and a long beard. Wearing a red T-shirt with a floral design, he carefully examined Tyler.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t see through Tyler’s cultivation as if the mana didn’t exist within him.
But he could still feel a certain pressure around Tyler. It wasn’t big, but it was there, which meant Tyler was a cultivator.
That’s also why he was so serious and didn’t underestimate him.
"As long as they don’t send more than five Soul Sublimation Realm cultivators, I can take you away."
"Although you are important, I don’t think they will send more than three. And even that is an overestimation of their obsession with your techniques."
Tyler replied.
Hearing his words, Sher King stared at him for a moment.
"I would like to test your skill."
As soon as he said that, he knew the deal was done.
Even Tyler couldn’t hide the smile on his face. Simply because it was going to be too easy to get this family.
Essentially, Sher King was the only Soul Sublimation Realm cultivator in the entire Sher Family. More importantly, he was only at the early stage.
"Very well!"
Tyler calmly nodded his head as he stood up.
They were in the living room. Considering that they were being monitored right now, they had no choice but to fight in this room.
Normally, the Treasured Body Realm could never be an equal to a Soul Sublimation Realm cultivator.
That’s not how the cultivation worked.
Every realm, every level had a meaning and structural growth.
For example, the first nine levels of the Mana Condensation Realm were all about filling his mana circuit with mana.
This process didn’t require anything else, but the mana circuit was delicate. So, only a small portion of mana could be pulled in.
At the same time, only a small portion could be pulled out. Since the gaseous mana could easily dissipate in the air, one would need to pull a large amount of mana.
But doing so would hurt the mana circuit or even cripple the cultivator in worst-case scenarios.
So, the cultivators used techniques to utilize that mana. Although using a technique would need a lot of mana, it would strain the mana circuit.
But it would be a one-time thing since all that mana could be transformed into an offensive technique.
More importantly, this amount was much less than what a cultivator needed to pull just to enhance their physical strength regularly in a battle.
That’s why techniques were so popular among the cultivators of this realm.
Tyler broke this rule when he cultivated his technique.
It instantly made his mana so high-level that even using a little bit of it could produce five times more results than those with normal techniques.
Because of this, he only needed to channel a small portion to increase his strength exponentially, something only those at the Treasured Body Realm could do.
The Treasured Body Realm cultivator was different. Being at this realm, one could easily enhance their physical capabilities using mana.
But this also meant they could easily close the gap between them and their enemies and kill them before they could react.
Even a slight increase in strength could increase the defense and agility of a cultivator. The same could be said for speed.
So, the cultivators in this realm relied more on hand-to-hand combat, also known as Martial Arts.
These Martial Arts weren’t just techniques. They were unique fighting styles created by merging technique with intentions.
Despite reaching this realm, Tyler hadn’t had the time to practice the Martial Arts.
That being said, he was by no means weaker. By reaching this realm, he could produce flames three times hotter than before.
On top of being a body cultivator.
That was a completely different power. Normal cultivators did get a boost by reaching the Treasured Body Realm.
But when he was only at the Mana Condensation Realm, he had already trained his body to Three-Star Mortal Body.
One-Star Mortal Body could add the strength of 5000 kilograms.
This was the strength of a cultivator at the peak of the Mana Condensation Realm using mana.
Two-Star Mortal Body doubled it and reached 10000 kilograms. This was the strength of the Treasured Body Realm Early Stage.
Three-Star Mortal Body doubled that and reached 20000 kilograms. This was the strength of the Treasured Body Realm Middle Stage.
Four-Star Mortal Body doubled that and reached 40000 kilograms. This was the strength of the Treasured Body Realm Peak Stage.
Of course, that’s exactly what he achieved with just Body Cultivation. He still had the boost of 20000 kilograms just by using his mana.
While it wouldn’t be comparable to the Soul Sublimation Realm cultivator, that wasn’t exactly the case.
The strength growth of this realm wasn’t linear.
At the early stage, the growth would be around five thousand kilograms. It was massive, but compared to the rapid growth of twenty thousand at the late stage, this gap was too big.
This was because the soul needed to produce soul energy. Some people call it spiritual energy, some call it spirit energy.
But it was simply called soul energy since it needed to be produced by the soul.
And the soul could only produce it if it was strong enough. That’s why one must reach the peak of the Soul Sublimation Realm.
And only by reaching the peak, one could obtain such a massive growth of strength.
The soul energy could merge with mana to improve its quality and power. So, at this level, one could have the strength of 80000 kilograms.
Tyler currently had the strength of over one hundred thousand kilograms.
Yes, despite only being a Four-Star Mortal Body, he had greater strength than a Five-Star Mortal Body.
That’s because his mana was such a high quality that without even soul power, it could increase his strength by twice.
His base strength was already forty thousand kilograms. By doubling it using his mana, that would reach eighty thousand kilograms.
But that wasn’t all. He also had the boost from Primordial Sacred Dragon Body and Primordial Sacred Dragon Bloodline.
One was passive while the other was active. Dragon Body that he awakened through his normal body could increase his strength by twenty percent.
Then, there was Dragon Scales. This wasn’t exactly a part of the Primordial Sacred Dragon Bloodline but rather an ability from his technique.
But his bloodline wasn’t ordinary. During the evolution, it had completely merged with the technique.
That meant that by simply practicing and improving his technique, he could make his bloodline better.
All of this was just his physical strength.
His swordsmanship had reached the perfected Sword Control, which was equivalent to a Soul Sublimation Realm cultivator.
Combined with his mastery over the first three stages of Eternal Spring Sword Scripture, he was capable of fighting people of the Soul Sublimation Realm.
"Do your best! I will not hold back."
Tyler stared at the man in front of him. Although he was an old man, he didn’t dare to underestimate him.
Especially since he was one realm higher than him.
The moment he sensed the mana fluctuation on him, Tyler took out the sword from his spatial ring and placed it on his waist.
Putting his hand on the hilt of his sword, Tyler released his mana.
Crack! Crack!
The moment his mana emerged, it released with such high pressure that it shattered the wooden floor under them.
[Earth Splitting Palm]
Sensing his mana, Sher King condensed a large amount of mana into his palm, activating a technique as he shot out a massive palm.
This palm was nearly three feet tall and two feet wide. It moved towards Tyler, trying to destroy him with a single strike.
[Sword Drawing Technique- Calming Ocean]
Tyler unsheathed his sword, the blade swinging towards the palm. The edge of his sword released an incredible red slash.
It tore through the air and reached the palm in the middle. The sheer power behind the slash managed to tear it apart. freeweɓnovel.cøm
As the palm disintegrated, the sword slash kept moving towards Sher King.
"Father!"
A middle-aged man saw the attack rushing towards his father and shouted anxiously.
But when the sword got closer and struck him on the palm, it suddenly disintegrated, leaving almost no trace of being slashed.
"Cutting the Nothing! You are a swordsman."
Sher King’s eyes widened in shock as he pulled back his hand and stared at his palm.
At that moment, he was prepared to lose his palm because of that slash. After all, it destroyed one of his strongest attacks with ease.
But instead of hurting him, the slash disappeared.
That could only mean one thing.
’This boy has perfected his Sword Control. If he wanted to kill, he could’ve easily done so.’
At this moment, two streaks of tears fell down his cheek.
"We can finally survive this ordeal. Lord, please accept my greetings!"
