章 15: Nine Transformations of The Swirling Dragon
Facing Xiao Feng's somewhat resentful gaze, Xiao Yan awkwardly rubbed his nose and said, "Brother, I really didn't do it on purpose."
If Xiao Yan had known Xiao Feng was flirting, he wouldn't have rushed over to play the third wheel.
"Alright! Just get to the point, will you?"
"Hehe~"
Xiao Yan chuckled awkwardly, then pulled out a black scroll from his chest and handed it to Xiao Feng. "Brother, this is a wind attribute technique I got from my teacher. It's called the Nine Transformations of the Swirling Dragon. It's more suitable for you than the Wind Scroll Technique."
"Really? Then I'll have to take a good look at it."
Given the relationship between Xiao Feng and Xiao Yan, there was no need for formalities. Xiao Feng took the black scroll and started examining it.
After roughly going through the contents of the scroll, Xiao Feng's expression became serious.
Although the Nine Transformations of the Swirling Dragon was only a low-level Earth rank technique, it was a very rare body refining technique.
Practitioners of the Nine Transformations of the Swirling Dragon could use the power of naturally occurring storms to temper their bodies, causing their physical forms to transform.
According to the information provided, this technique could allow the practitioner's body to undergo nine transformations. With each transformation, the power of the technique would increase.
If a practitioner completed three transformations, the cultivation speed of the Nine Transformations of the Swirling Dragon would rival that of a mid-level Earth rank technique.
If six transformations were achieved, the power of the technique would be comparable to that of a high-level Earth rank technique.
If all nine transformations were completed, the technique's power would rival that of a low-level Heaven rank technique.
However, aside from the creator of the Nine Transformations of the Swirling Dragon, no one had managed to cultivate this technique to its highest level.
Practitioners of the Nine Transformations of the Swirling Dragon needed to harness the power of storms, constantly battering their bodies and then healing their injuries, thus strengthening their bodies until they could transform.
Additionally, as the practitioner's strength increased, it would become more difficult to find storms powerful enough to break their defenses.
When practitioners reached around the seventh transformation, they would often need to rely on spatial storms to temper their bodies, risking death.
Therefore, only those with strong regenerative abilities could practice the Nine Transformations of the Swirling Dragon; otherwise, they could easily die from it.
Yao Lao understood the dangers of cultivating the Nine Transformations of the Swirling Dragon but had also witnessed Xiao Feng's remarkable regenerative abilities.
With Xiao Feng's regenerative power, he shouldn't have to worry about life-threatening dangers until he reached the sixth transformation.
Seeing Xiao Feng put down the scroll, Xiao Yan asked proudly, "So, brother, do you like this technique?"
"Yes, I like it a lot."
Xiao Feng nodded affirmatively and patted Xiao Yan's shoulder. "Xiao Yan, I won't say thank you. You have the talent to become an alchemist, and I will find a way to get you a strange fire in the future."
"That sounds great!" Xiao Yan smiled. "Don't forget, I'm counting on it."
"A man's word is his bond!"
...
Several days later, on Xiao Family's Back Mountain.
"Whoosh!"
Dressed in a white robe, Xiao Feng exerted force with his feet, leaving a lifelike phantom clone in place, while his body appeared several feet away.
Currently, Xiao Feng was only a two-star Dou Practitioner, and since he had just started learning Phantom Step, he could only produce one phantom clone for now.
Xiao Feng then waved his hand, releasing a half-meter-long cyan wind blade towards the phantom clone.
"Boom!!!"
The phantom clone struck by the cyan wind blade exploded into a mass of wind attribute energy, leaving dozens of tiny scratches on the ground.
When using Phantom Step, the phantom clones Xiao Feng created were condensed from his wind attribute Dou Qi, so when attacked, they burst like balloons.
Unfortunately, Xiao Feng's current strength was too weak, and his phantom clones were fragile, causing limited damage.
"I've finally gotten the hang of Storm Splitter Dance and Phantom Step. It's about time to go out for some experience."
Xiao Feng stroked his chin, musing to himself, "Wutan City is too small. In a few days, I can undertake the second simulation. I need to find a way to earn more merit points. Otherwise, even if the system store offers something good, I won't be able to afford it."
Since the end of the first simulation, Xiao Feng had tried earning merit points by doing good deeds in Wutan City, like buying food for beggars and giving medicine to the injured poor.
However, these good deeds seemed too insignificant, and despite his efforts, his merit points only increased by less than five.
Since doing good deeds wasn't earning him much merit, Xiao Feng decided to try defeating the monsters and criminals.
He guessed that killing sinful criminals might also earn him merit points, possibly even more than doing good deeds.
With a decision made, Xiao Feng found Xiao Zhan and told him about his plan to go out and gain experience.
"Feng'er, have you really thought this through?"
Xiao Zhan felt both relieved and worried upon hearing Xiao Feng's plan.
Seeing Xiao Zhan's worried expression, Xiao Feng smiled and reassured him, "Father, don't worry. I'll take good care of myself out there. I'll only be gone for a year, and I'll check on my elder brothers. I'll be back in time for the coming-of-age ceremony next year."
"Alright then! A young eagle must learn to fly on its own. Since you've made up your mind, go ahead with confidence. I will support you fully."
Xiao Zhan looked at Xiao Feng for a while, then patted his shoulder. "But before you leave, make sure to say goodbye to Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er. Don't leave without a word."
"Yes!"
Xiao Feng nodded vigorously. "I understand, Father."
After leaving Xiao Zhan's courtyard, Xiao Feng went to see Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er.
They weren't surprised to hear about Xiao Feng's plan to gain experience outside.
After all, Wutan City was too small. If Xiao Feng stayed here, he couldn't possibly defeat Nalan Yanran in three years.
While most of the Xiao family didn't believe Xiao Feng could surpass Nalan Yanran in three years, Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er had great confidence in him.
