Yun Lintian was taken aback by Ning Yue's words and quickly wore a new robe. However, the size was smaller, and the long robe had become a knee-length robe instead.
Ning Yue looked through the gaps between her fingers and said in surprise. "You've become taller, brother."
"Yeah. Unexpectedly." Yun Lintian checked on his body carefully. Not only did he become taller, but his bones and muscles also strengthened significantly. He felt that he could punch a mountain bare fist with no problem.
Obviously, the Dragon God's Marrow in his body had become stronger.
"Do you want to test your strength?" Tian Yuhan asked.
Yun Lintian nodded. "Alright."
Tian Yuhan's figure flashed and appeared a hundred meters away. She pressed her palm forward, creating a layer of ice barrier. "This barrier possesses fifty percent of my strength."
Yun Lintian stepped forward, and his figure immediately appeared before the barrier. He then swung his fist without using any profound strength toward the barrier.
Bang!
The ice barrier trembled slightly, and nothing happened.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYun Lintian nodded slowly. His physique had improved drastically judging from this full-force punch. If it was before, he didn't think he could shake the barrier with his bare fist like this.
"Next, I'll use all my divine energy into this punch." Yun Lintian said.
Tian Yuhan motioned with her chin, telling him to do it.
Yun Lintian inhaled, and his divine energy surged, condensing around his entire arm. He let out a long breath and punched at the barrier.
BOOOOM—
A deafening sound echoed throughout the entire secret land. Everyone below could feel the ground shaking violently.
When the dust settled, Yun Lintian retracted his arm and looked at the countless cracks on the ice barrier thoughtfully. He punched with all his strength but only managed to slightly damage a weak Divine Emperor's barrier. This outcome was already considered heaven-defying.
"Do you want to try again using your profound art?" Tian Yuhan asked.
"Let me come. You can't handle it." Yue Chuntao flew over and said.
Tian Yuhan didn't say anything and retreated to the side.
"Your brute strength alone is enough to defeat any low-level Divine Kings and injure high-level Divine Kings when using your divine energy. In short, your current battle prowess is barely on a Divine King level." Yue Chuntao looked at him and said.
"That's at least three full realms higher. Even the Beyond Heaven King at his peak might not be able to do so."
"I'm still inexperienced. In a real battle, I should be able to beat a Divine Transformation Realm practitioner without using other power. For a good Divine King, I have to borrow an external power in a weapon or even use a trump card." Yun Lintian said.
He was aware that the strength he had currently was mainly coming from the Dragon God's Marrow. If he encountered a top Divine King, he would certainly rely on his trump cards like the bloodlines and others.
As for opponents in a Divine Sovereign Realm, his brute force was out of the question. He would need to use a profound art or a divine beast's soul, just like when he killed the Dark Sea Palace's people.
Back in the discipleship ceremony, Tian Shaoqing used only ten percent of his power when he attacked Yun Lintian as he believed it was enough to kill him. It was because of that Yun Lintian could send Tian Shaoqing flying. Otherwise, Yun Lintian would have to use the White Tiger's roar to deal with him.
Yue Chuntao said in agreement. "It's true… I'll use ten percent of my strength first, and we can continue to increase later. You can go all out. There's no need to worry about me."
As she spoke, Yue Chuntao raised her small hand, and a barrier conjured from a purple-colored moonlight appeared in front of her.
Yun Lintian took a deep breath and said. "I'll use the Dragon Fist this time."
After that, Yun Lintian stepped forward and swung his fist toward the moonlight barrier. A fire dragon appeared, coiling around his arm, letting out a ferocious dragon's cry.
BOOOM—
The moonlight barrier shook violently as the fire dragon smashed into it. The impact immediately swept all the debris nearby away, causing the entire mountain to shake.
Yue Chuntao looked at a tiny crack in the barrier with a trace of surprise. One had to know that ten percent of her strength was far stronger than Tian Yuhan's full strength, yet Yun Lintian could create a crack in the barrier. He could definitely shatter Tian Yuhan's full-power defense.
However, Yun Lintian had spent all of his energy on this punch. It was impossible for him to continue if it was a real battle.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Not bad," Yue Chuntao said, giving Yun Lintian time to recover.
Yun Lintian let out a long breath and stuffed a bunch of energy-recovering pills into his mouth while thinking of his current strength. At the end of the day, he couldn't fight any Divine Emperor with this. From the look of it, he needed to reach the Divine King Realm first to have a chance against them.
As for a God Emperor. It would be lucky if he could only run from them.
However, Yun Lintian was satisfied with his progress. There were at least three decades here for him to practice. The problem was his resources were not enough.
He looked at Yue Chuntao and asked. "Do you have Divine Stones? Can I borrow all of them first?"
Yue Chuntao opened her arms and said. "Do I look like a rich young lady to you?"
Yun Lintian was speechless. He thought Yue Chuntao pretended to be poor, but it seemed she was indeed poor…
"Hey, hey. What's with that look? I am rich, alright? It's just that I left money to Yue Qi." Yue Chuntao felt insulted by Yun Lintian's sympathetic gaze.
Tian Yuhan walked over and handed him a storage ring. "This is all I have with me."
Yun Lintian was about to refuse, but Tian Yuhan spoke further. "Even if I use all of them, it won't make me reach the middle level."
"Thank you. I'll pay you back when we go out." Yun Lintian didn't insist further and accepted the ring.
Tian Yuhan said nothing and returned to the distance, standing beside Ning Yue.
Three hours later, Yun Lintian recovered more than eighty percent of his divine energy. He got up, and the Heaven Piercing Sword appeared in his hand. "Let's do it."
