C40 Flying Dragon in The Sky!
"Damn! This Divine Dragon's Supreme Martial Arts manual really seems like the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms in disguise."
Zhan Tianming revealed a look of disdain.
"So what's next? The Dragon is Seen in the Fields, the Swan Descends Gracefully, Use Not the Submerged Dragon, Crossing Great Rivers, Tremors that Shook the Land, Diving into the Abyss, the Twin Dragons Fetch Water, the Divine Dragon Swishes its Tail, a Sudden Advent, Timely Riding the Six Dragons, Dark Clouds but No Rain, With a Loss comes Confidence, the Dragon Fights in the Wilderness, Treading on Ice, the Ram Charges into the Fence, and Laughing Words?"
In a single breath, Zhan Tianming named all 18 palms of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.
So, was this the truth?
Who knows?
All in all, this felt like it was written by a bored guy with an internet connection.
Sigh~
'Life is so boring.'
No matter what, Zhan Tianming was still very happy that he possessed an additional Supreme level technique.
"Flying Dragon in The Sky?"
"Can I fly then?"
Since he had yet to use the technique, Zhan Tianming did not know what it was like.
As of now, Zhan Tianming ignored the other items in the gift pack as he jumped up, like a dragon soaring into the sky.
"Flying Dragon in The Sky!"
"Roar!"
A Dragon's roar's resounded, shaking the whole area.
Zhan Tianming's body was enveloped by a true qi dragon, writhing and dancing in an imposing manner. Before long, it shot into the sky like a rainbow.
In the blink of an eye, his figure gracefully and elegantly appeared in the sky.
He flipped his palm...
And shot out like an arrow toward the ground.
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
The dragon rushed down with that gesture, and the moment it came near the ground, the ground exploded due to the sheer pressure difference.
A humongous crater appeared on the ground.
"Such strength!"
After Zhan Tianming landed, he looked at the crater in shock and then looked at his palm.
This move was strong, very strong, like insanely strong.
Most important of all, it made him look cool.
Badass and cool!
A mightly palm strike descending from heaven... How cool was that?
However...
'What the heck is up with this true qi consumption?'
Seeing that nearly half of his true qi points had disappeared, Zhan Tianming curled his lips.
Just now, he had upgraded to a one-star Martial Practitioner. Because of that, his true qi points went from 950 points to 1150 points. Now, he was only left with 650 true qi points.
He opened the system interface and took a look.
As expected...
Skills: Flying Dragon in The Sky (Supreme. Attribute: Ice/Fire/Gold/Wood/Earth)
Level: 1
Proficiency: 1/10000
True Qi Consumption: 500
Description: Flying Dragon in The Sky is an extremely powerful martial technique. When attacking an opponent below the Martial King realm, you have a 1% chance of extracting Dragon Qi points and triggering Instant Kill. Once you level up the skill, the percentage will increase. Every time you trigger an Instant Kill, you can obtain varying amounts of Dragon Qi points.
"It can't be?"
"Instant killing any enemy under the Martial King realm?"
Zhan Tianming was so surprised that his mouth was wide open.
Although the chance of triggering it was low, and he had to spend a lot of true qi points, it was still awesome.
After all, he was only a one-star Martial Practitioner.
A one-star Martial Practitioner instantly killing a nine-star Martial Spirit expert... wasn't this exciting?
One had to know that there was an entire realm, the Martial Master realm, between the Martial Practitioner and the Martial Spirit realm.
And not to forget that each realm had nine starts.
This was equivalent to instantly killing an opponent three levels higher than him.
He was so overpowered!
Zhan Tianming could only think those three words...
Wait.
Weren't they four words?
'Forget it. Who cares?'
In any case, he was still powerful and quite impressive all in all.
Zhan Tianming's face was filled with joy; he almost roared out, "Who else is this freakin' awesome?'
After recovering from his joy, Zhan Tianming took a look at the other items in the Big Gift pack.
'Experience points, Dragon Qi points... the usual stuff, I guess.'
'Where are the attribute points?'
'Oh, there they are. Imma just add them all to the attack attribute.'
Right now, his attack was at 670 points, and his defense was at a pitiful 89 points.
This was an extremely crazy attack power.
However, this was what Zhan Tianming liked.
He believed that attack was the best defense.
"Eh? What is this?"
Zhan Tianming stared at a letter-like thing on the system interface.
"I pay my respects to my beloved host, Zhan Tianming."
'Is this really a letter?'
"Open."
"Greetings, dear host Zhan Tianming."
"To serve the host wholeheartedly is the system's fundamental starting and ending point. It is also the most fundamental symbol that distinguishes this system from other systems. It is also the system's obligation and fundamental value."
"Adhering to the purpose of wholeheartedly serving the host is not only an objective requirement of insisting on the advancement of the system but also an embodiment of the systematic principle. The system will firmly establish the system concept and values of whole-hearted service to the host and constantly improve the self-awareness of whole-hearted service to the host."
"In the context of the system's otherworldly background, it is pertinent to adhere to the purpose of serving the host wholeheartedly. To begin..."
"Holy shit!"
"What nonsense is this? Is this even English? Why does this look like lazy MTL?"
Zhan Tianming revealed a hint of disdain.
'This is too damn long!'
'I'm don't even going to look at this shit.'
Yet, he glanced over the letter.
The last paragraph finally had some substance.
"To provide the host with a strong motivation to continue working hard, from now on, the system will not actively provide the martial skills left behind by the Divine Dragon God. If the host wants to obtain and train in it, you must personally explore the mysteries of the Nine Dragons Continent and obtain the remaining Divine Dragon's Supreme Martial Arts manual's moves."
"Finally, I wish you a pleasant life in this foreign world!"
"Thank you, Divine Dragon's Supreme System."
"Wut? Just what!?"
'Damn!'
'Here I was thinking that after coming to this world, all I have to do was get strong with the help of system and get girls left and right.'
'But now? Are they really asking me to stake my life?'
Remember, people in this world could kill others without even flinching.
And then there were those demonic beasts, each more ferocious than the last.
You understand they eat humans, people, homo sapiens for lunch, right?
Do you know what eating humans is called? Cannibalism!!!
Just like Hannibal Lecter, they ate humans and shat humans.
It was too disgusting.
'Don't think about it, just don't think about it!'
Zhan Tianming shook his head.
In any case, he couldn't argue with the system.
This system was completely unreasonable.
Fortunately, he managed to get two moves of the Divine Dragon's Supreme Martial Arts manual. That could at least form the foundation for his dream of leading a peaceful life.
In the future, he had to properly cultivate Proud Dragon Repents and Flying Dragon in The Sky.
Otherwise, he just might become shit, figuratively and literally.
"But this is good too."
Thinking about it, Zhan Tianming felt that it would feel even more satisfying if he found the rest of the moves of the manual himself.
Work and harvest—that was worth cherishing.
Since he had obtained the first two so easily, he took them for granted and felt nothing.
"Alright!"
"If that's the case, then I will look for the moves myself."
"It's not like I will have a hard time finding them, right?"
Zhan Tianming's eyes lit up.
A surge of confidence came from the bottom of his heart.
Soon, Zhan Tianming began looking through the remaining items.
Suddenly, the Crimson Flame Ape became agitated.
"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!"
