C200 The Strongest Breakthrough(part I)

At the end of his words, Lyi Hentian's voice became lower and lower, as if he was about to choke. After ten years of teaching, his disciple had finally reached this step, and he didn't let him down.

Essence Opening Stage was the most important hurdle for a martial artist to climb in the path of martial arts. If Duanmu Kuang could smoothly step into the Essence Opening Stage like he had expected, in the future, this disciple of his would surely soar into the sky, and shake the heavens and the earth.

Lyi Hentian was full of confidence in Duanmu Kuang, he was sure that his disciple would definitely succeed. He would become the second warrior to completely convert his Yuan energy in the Innate Stage Realm after Duanmu Haotian. At this moment, no one could understand how excited he was. He couldn't even be described with any words.

On Lyi Hentian's wrinkled face, the corners of his eyes were slightly wet. Duanmu Kuang could even see a trace of sparkling tears, although it was quickly covered up by the old man.

"Master, please rest assured. This disciple will definitely break through smoothly and not disappoint you."

Duanmu Kuang's nose turned sour, and tears almost flowed out of his eyes. Only after looking closely did he realize that his master was really old. Although he was still vulgar, he still liked that cheap smile. However, under that wrinkled face, there was a thick unwillingness and expectation hidden. And that warm care.

In the past, Lyi Hentian was dressed in white and his might shook the nine heavens. Who would dare to directly confront him? But now, he was just an ordinary old man, and he didn't even have a body. That great battle had caused him to lose everything, and only a wisp of his soul remained.

To Lyi Hentian, Duanmu Kuang was his everything now. It was his only hope. Sometimes he would be strict, and sometimes he would look ruthless. However, it was undeniable that everything he did... The starting point was always for Duanmu Kuang's own good.

Perhaps the old man had his own selfish motives as well, but from his turbid eyes, Duanmu Kuang saw a warm love that surpassed everything else. That was the kind light in the eyes of the elders, blazing like the scorching sun. It illuminated his whole body, making him feel strangely warm.

Some people said that warmth was like a cold, contagious. At this moment, Duanmu Kuang personally experienced this infectious feeling. That warm love soaked his entire body and transmitted to every part of his body. Including every tiny cell in his body, it made his body tremble slightly.

Motion, birthed in silence, finally became a disaster.

At this time, how could he hurt the old man's heart again? Besides, who was Duanmu Haotian? That was his previous life. What reason did he have to do what he could in his previous life, but he couldn't do it?

Therefore, Duanmu Kuang made a solemn vow. He patted his chest and promised Lyi Hentian that if he couldn't make the most powerful breakthrough, he would have to raise his head to see what was happening.

"Hahaha..." Lyi Hentian burst into laughter. He was very satisfied with Duanmu Kuang's answer. He said happily, "Good! I will wait here for you to break through. I will look at you, and your name will shake the nine heavens."

Then, his expression turned serious. He looked at Duanmu Kuang and said solemnly, "Then, let's begin now."

"En." Duanmu Kuang nodded heavily and sat down cross-legged. Soon, he entered into a meditative state.

The surrounding Heaven and Earth Vital Energy started to move and slowly moved closer to him. It was absorbed and circled around him. They slowly entered his body. This place immediately became colorful. All kinds of Heaven and Earth Vital Energy shone brightly. It could be seen with the naked eye.

Duanmu Kuang sat cross-legged in the middle of the circle of Heaven and Earth Vital Energy, like a rotating black hole. It emitted a powerful attractive force, and attracted the Heaven and Earth Vital Energy in the distance over. At the same time, all the pores on his body opened up, greedily devouring the Heaven and Earth Vital Energy that was attracted over.

In the beginning, the suction force wasn't very strong. The five-colored radiance here was just like specks of stars that flickered about. However, as the suction force increased, this small area was quickly covered by the Heaven and Earth Vital Energy. It looked hazy and unclear. Duanmu Kuang's figure completely disappeared. He was completely covered by the colorful radiance.

"Azure Dragon Sky Shattering Spell!"

This breakthrough was no small matter. Not only did it carry Lyi Hentian's expectation, it also brought him a lot of hope. At the same time, it also represents how far he can go in the future, to what extent. Duanmu Kuang did not dare to lower his guard. He circulated his strongest mental cultivation method. Slowly guiding the Heaven and Earth Vital Energy into his body, and then neutralizing the Yuan Qi in his body. Then, he went through repeated tempering.

As his movements became more and more proficient, the speed at which he absorbed the Heaven and Earth Vital Energy became faster and faster, and the speed at which he refined Yuan Qi also increased rapidly. The Yuan Qi in his body was gradually being purified, and it was slowly transforming into a solid state.

Duanmu Kuang was delighted in his heart. All of this seemed to be progressing in a good direction. The conversion of Yuan Power wasn't as difficult as he had imagined. If nothing unexpected happened... He should be able to convert all the Yuan energy in his body into Yuan energy in a few hours' time and advance to the Essence Opening Stage. But soon, he felt that something wasn't right. He vaguely felt that something was wrong.

"Oh right, five colors, so this is where the problem comes from." Duanmu Kuang was shocked. He found out that he was absorbing five different types of Heaven and Earth Vital Energy at the same time. The source of his uneasiness came from this place.

All this while, he had been absorbing the residue of the heaven and earth origin energy while cultivating. It was not any of the five types of origin energy. Because he did not have an affinity with the elements, he could not absorb the pure elemental Yuan Qi. This had been proven during the Five Mountain Sect's assessment.

But now, Duanmu Kuang realized that what he was absorbing was no longer the residues of the Heaven and Earth Vital Energy. Instead, it was five types of pure elemental Heaven and Earth Vital Energy, and they were all being absorbed at the same time. This made him feel incredulous.

It was widely spread across the continent. The heaven and earth were divided into five elements. At the same time, there were five types of Heaven and Earth Vital Energy that corresponded to the five elements: metal, wood, and water. The first reason a warrior could obtain fire and earth was because he was the winner. The second was rare in the present world, and the three of them were unparalleled in the world.

This referred to a warrior's affinity with the five elements. Imagine how many warriors there were in the world. However, the ones with affinity were the minority. This meant that there was a type of affinity for martial artists. Even if it was the winner among the martial artists, it was already very rare to see a martial artist with affinity of two attributes. And there were no other martial artists with three affinity at all. It could be called unparalleled. As for warriors with four or five affinity attributes... Basically, they could not exist.

And he, a person who had been proven to have no affinity with attributes. He was actually able to absorb five different types of Heaven and Earth Vital Energy at the same time. What the f * ck was going on? Was there a mistake in the previous test? Could it be that he already had five types of affinity?
