However, Kang Shin-mu wasn't too worried.
It wasn't like he had to win first place in the Dragon Emperor's match. If he really couldn't do it, he could just go through the motions.
"What I lack now is time.
"As long as I have enough time, I can definitely increase my cultivation level and the grade of the divine dragon's blood essence …"
Kang Shin-mu thought to himself.
But at this moment, the Demon God ancestor's consciousness suddenly reminded, "Perhaps, in the process of the arena battle, you can try cultivating!
Use the Heaven-Deficient Demonic Dragon of Ice and Fire to devour your opponent's time and improve yourself as you fight.
"Although the Heaven-Deficient Demonic Dragon of Ice and Fire's time-devouring method is a little strange and will be sensed by the supreme beings present, I don't think it's a big deal even if they know. After all, there are many similar methods."
The Demon God's consciousness's suggestion was feasible.
If he could directly devour his opponent's time in the match and use it to cultivate, then Kang Shin-mu might be able to improve before the Dragon Emperor's match, or during the match.
The key was to make full use of the time!
"I can give it a try and see if devouring time to cultivate is reliable and how effective it is."
That was the only plan Kang Shin-mu could come up with.
His sparring with Shangguan Die 'er had ended very quickly. That was because he was no match for Shangguan Die' er, and Shangguan Die 'er had been going easy on him, not taking out her Heavenly Stage Divine Spirit Dragon Weapon. If she had used her Heavenly Stage Divine Spirit Dragon Weapon, Jiang Shenwu would not have been her match.
Shangguan Die 'er now had two Heaven-grade Holy Dragon Weapons. One was her own, and the other was a gift from Kang Shin-mu.
She was too embarrassed to use the Heaven-grade Holy Dragon Weapon Kang Shin-mu had given her to spar with Kang Shin-mu.
Both sides fought fiercely for about half an hour. Almost all the methods that they could bring out had been used.
And the battle prowess that Kang Shin-mu displayed caused Emperor Xi to be somewhat surprised. "Kang Shin-mu, your battle prowess has already far surpassed the level of your cultivation and the grade of your inherited blood essence. It has even surpassed several tiers … Has your Power of Nirvana been condensed completely?"
"Yes, Master."
Kang Shin-mu replied respectfully.
His Nirvana Energy had been condensed since the fourth level of the Nirvana Tribulation Stage, and every time he advanced to the next level, he would condense it once more. Compared to ordinary people, his basic strength was at least 30% stronger.
Moreover, his Reincarnation Power was completely condensed now, which directly enhanced the strength of his Devouring Power.
No matter what kind of Dragon Martial Skill it was used to execute, its power would become stronger, so this was the problem of the strength of one's foundation. This was also the most fundamental reason why Kang Shin-mu was able to challenge those of a higher level.
Why would ordinary Dragon Martial Artists or practitioners of other races become stronger when their cultivation and inheritance grade increased?
It was because every time their cultivation or inheritance grade increased, their basic strength would nearly double. This was the reason why cultivation was so important, and the inheritance grade was the same.
Right now, Kang Shin-mu's cultivation and inheritance grade were not strong enough. This was his weakness.
However, he had many other tricks up his sleeves. The key was the two Heaven Grade Saint Spiritual Dragon Weapons that had been dazzled thrice, and the Ninth Tier Extreme Tao Hui Dragon Explosion that he had cultivated quite well.
"Kang Shin-mu, I heard that you can devour the power of other people's Dragon Martial Skills and use it to improve the progress of your own Dragon Martial Skill?"
After the two finished sparring, Emperor Xi directly came up and asked.
"It's like this."
Kang Shin-mu replied.
"Since that's the case, I can help you quickly improve your Ninth Tier Extreme Tao Hui Dragon Explosion … Of course, I can't help you with the Divine Dragon Tyrant Body Technique. As for the Wind Shadow Flowing Cloud Flash, I believe that your current level is not bad, so there's no need for it."
Emperor Xi said with a smile.
The Divine Dragon Tyrant Body Technique was a body-refining Dragon Martial Skill, and it was only a high-grade Source Dragon Martial Skill. Other than Kang Shin-mu, very few people cultivated it. Moreover, cultivating it required a lot of resources from the Prehistoric Tyrant Body Beast.
So now, Kang Shin-mu could not improve further.
The next step was the Extreme Saint Realm, which was not so easy to break through.
As for the Wind Shadow Flowing Cloud Flash, Kang Shin-mu had already reached the Saint level, and the next step to the Extreme Saint Realm was not so easy. It was not a breakthrough that could be achieved in a short time. Even if he devoured the essence of other people's cultivation, it was unlikely that he could break through in a short time.
As for the Ninth Tier Extreme Tao Hui Dragon Explosion …
This was a high-grade Saint Spiritual Dragon Martial Skill!
It was the strongest Dragon Martial Skill that the Dragon Emperor could cultivate at his current stage. It just so happened that Emperor Xi seemed to have cultivated this Dragon Martial Skill before. To Kang Shin-mu, this was a great piece of news.
However, Emperor Xi first gave Shangguan Die 'er some pointers, telling her that there were some areas that could be improved and improved in the process of executing some Dragon Martial Skills. If she trained and cultivated according to Emperor Xi's instructions, when the Dragon Emperor's mentor-level arena battles started, Shangguan Die' er's battle prowess would increase by at least 30%!
This was the importance of a mentor.
Emperor Xi was someone who had cultivated on the path of the Dragon Emperor. It could be said that many of the Dragon Martial Skills in Emperor Xi's Dragon Martial Academy were actually cultivated by Emperor Xi before, and she had cultivated them to the peak. With her guidance, Kang Shin-mu and Shangguan Die 'er naturally improved rapidly.
As for Kang Shin-mu's side, it was mainly the breakthrough of the Ninth Tier Extreme Tao Hui Dragon Explosion.
Emperor Xi's Mystical Dragon could casually execute the Ninth Tier Dark Dragon Breath Explosion. This was a technique that had been cultivated to the peak level. For Kang Shin-mu, as long as he devoured the power that she unleashed, he would be able to comprehend this technique a lot more.
So, next, Kang Shin-mu began to concentrate on comprehending and cultivating this technique.
Emperor Xi did not transform into a dragon. Instead, she directly executed the Ninth Tier Extreme Tao Hui Dragon Explosion in her human form. In the training field, the left side suddenly exploded nine times in a row, and the right side suddenly exploded nine times in a row … Kang Shin-mu could only continuously devour the power of the Ninth Tier Extreme Tao Hui Dragon Explosion.
Emperor Xi's comprehension of this technique was two levels higher than fully unleashing the power of the Ninth Tier Extreme Tao Hui Dragon Explosion!
If being able to completely execute the Ninth Tier Extreme Tao Hui Dragon Explosion was the peak, then Emperor Xi's current comprehension of this Dragon Martial Skill was two levels higher than the peak — the Ultimate Saint Realm.
The Ninth Tier Extreme Tao Hui Dragon Explosion could already unleash extremely powerful power. However, if the power of each explosion was increased by even 10%, the final Ninth Tier Extreme Tao Hui Dragon Explosion would be extremely terrifying.
Therefore, after reaching the peak, one still needed to cultivate to the Saint level, or even the Ultimate Saint Realm!
