Chapter 252: Chapter 162: Grand Killing Move - Thunder Flame Boiling Cauldron, Extreme Martial King, Seventh Metropolitan Circle (4K)
[Hidden Dragon Wishful Strength Lv8 (2426/11000)]
Looking at the changes in Hidden Dragon Vigor, Xue Jing blinked.
He had experienced this 'specialization' phenomenon on his Skill Panel twice before.
The first time was when he killed the Cockroach Monster at Rui Zhu Hotel, when [Channeling Energy] was specialized into [Hidden Dragon Vigor].
The second time was after he used [GOD-508·Hundred Feet Pole's Top], [Meditative Visualization] was specialized into [Visualization True].
Both of these specialized skills were more powerful than ordinary skills, and the Experience Points needed for leveling up were also one step higher.
This time, it was on the already specialized skill [Hidden Dragon Vigor] that another specialization occurred...
Xue Jing looked at the Experience Points needed for the newly emerged [Hidden Dragon Wishful Strength] to level up, which hadn't changed from before and was still eleven thousand.
"It seems, like ordinary and Divine Skills, the Experience Points needed to level up specialized skills are fixed," he thought to himself.
"Then, let's try changing..."
Xue Jing took a deep breath and started to activate his Power.
This time, his body seemed to undergo some mysterious change, and the sensation produced by Power was completely different from before.
A True Dragon generated within his body, no longer the previous kind harmonizing Yin and Yang, rigid and soft together. As soon as it appeared, its physical structure was 'Pure Rigidity'.
There was no need for him to extract Soft Power separately.
"This is..." Xue Jing was somewhat surprised.
Stay tuned with m,v le,mpyr
With a thought, he disassembled the 'Extremely Rigid True Dragon' within his body and began to activate his Power again.
The True Dragon reemerged, not with the stiffness of the Extremely Rigid True Dragon, but rather like cotton soaked in water, soft and relaxed.
The newly born True Dragon wandered freely within Xue Jing's body, but so silently that Xue Jing could hardly sense its presence. Where it passed, it was as if brushed by flowing water, touched by a light breeze, leaving only a faint, barely perceptible gentle touch.
This was the 'Pure Softness', a Soft Force-composed Extremely Soft True Dragon!
"Hidden Dragon Wishful Strength... The Power generated is completely as I wish, rigid when I want it rigid, soft when I want it soft."
Xue Jing jumped down from the head of the Flame Wailing Dragon, picked up a stone off the ground, and looked around. His eyesight, surpassing that of a human, easily locked onto a small deer several kilometers away on the plains.
Or rather, a creature that resembled a small deer from the Intersecting Boundaries.
The Extremely Soft True Dragon flowed silently into his right arm. Xue Jing took a throwing stance and tossed the stone toward the small deer kilometers away.
The stone flew towards the deer at high speed but eerily made no sound of wind.
Without the deer even noticing, the stone hit it.
A strange thing happened.
As if defying the laws of physics, the stone stopped on contact with the deer, lightly falling to the ground.
The deer, as if hit by a speeding truck, was sent flying dozens of meters before gently touching down, unharmed.
Only after landing did it realize that it seemed to have been tossed away, immediately showing a frightened expression and scampering off into the distance.
"Pure Soft Force to the extreme doesn't cause any harm," Xue Jing murmured softly.
"However... all things in the world abide by the principle of reaching one extreme leads to the opposite, just as the concept of Vajra Wishful Hand says 'extreme rigidity necessitates softness, utmost firmness becomes utmost softness', the reverse is also true."
"Extreme softness must lead to rigidity, utmost softness must also be able to transform into utmost firmness... It all depends on how I develop it."
He clenched his fist, his eyes gleaming with excitement:
"I didn't expect to get such an enhancement unexpectedly before the final battle with the Pureblood Dragon Species!"
"Vajra Wishful Hand relies on a special Kungfu Body developed through rigorous cultivation within my own school, allowing Pure Rigidity to be instantly generated within the body."
"And [Hidden Dragon Wishful Strength], not only possesses the effects of the Vajra Wishful Hand's Kungfu Body, but also surpasses it. It's not only pure rigidity but can also produce pure softness. This is the true 'Wishful'!"
"Ban, you did good, you did really good!"
Xue Jing took a deep breath, activating his Power with a burst, and in the sound of a dragon's chant, an Extremely Rigid True Dragon was born.
Then he shattered it. After Wishful Shaping, he simultaneously deployed Shaking Star Fire and Whirlwind Thunder.
Boiling blood and spirally compressed muscle manifested simultaneously. He looked at his clenched right fist, contemplating:
"Pure Rigid Force itself has a destructive power far beyond ordinary Power. Using Pure Rigidity to simultaneously unleash these two most powerful moves of Hidden Dragon School, their power is immeasurable."
"This move needs a new name."
He thought for a moment, then murmured:
"Hm... Shaking Star Fire and Whirlwind Thunder combined, so, it shall be called 'Ultimate Technique — Thunder Flame Boiling Cauldron'."
Shaking Star Fire is a Defense-Breaking Skill that injects Power into the enemy's body. Whirlwind Thunder, on the other hand, is pure Burst Skill.
Combining these two skills means to cause a massive explosion of Power within the enemy...
Xue Jing recalled the effect in the Consciousness Space where the head of the Flame Wailing Dragon he hit with this technique swelled crazily, as if boiling water was bubbling beneath the skin.
Shaking Star Fire, Whirlwind Thunder, one thunder, one fire, both are also related to burning and boiling, which makes 'Thunder Flame Boiling Cauldron' rather fitting as a name.
Xue Jing turned around and punched the corpse of the Flame Wailing Dragon.
His fist made contact with the already battered head of the dragon, and for a moment, nothing happened.
It wasn't until a few seconds later that the surface began to gradually swell up with large bags, more and more, more and more...
