The Birth of the Last Divine Dragon Emperor

2. Training new abilities!

"With the abilities left behind by others... I will surely rise and find out who killed my parents in the past..." Yuan Bei said with a firm vow. Suddenly, the Heart of the Dragon Flame spirit within his body muttered curses in its mind.

"Hahaha! With just you? Do whatever you want, I can only remind you that there are some wild beasts in this forest. But that’s not the problem, it's the Demon Beasts, from level one to three. I'm sleepy, and I’m going to sleep for a long time. I hope, when I wake up, I won't see you anymore."

Hearing the mocking words directed at him, Yuan Bei began to study the techniques he could cultivate, using the knowledge left by the Dragon Emperor. Although he often heard insults like "stupid" and "can't cultivate," Yuan Bei was actually very intelligent. With his understanding, he started learning the basic knowledge about Qi energy.

"Soft and warm, that’s the nature of Qi energy!"

Having sensed the Qi energy, Yuan Bei tried to absorb the Qi within the ancient cave. As expected, all the Qi energy in the cave started to move, entering his body at an astonishing speed.

In an instant, he could feel his meridians, which had once been empty, fill up with Qi energy.

Baaam!

"Foundation Stage, Star One!"

A muffled explosion was heard inside his body. When he opened his eyes, Yuan Bei was slightly stunned by the changes in his body.

"I’ve entered the Foundation Stage, Star One? So this is what it feels like to become a Cultivator?" Feeling happy, Yuan Bei knew, however, that the stages of cultivation were vast. He had only reached the very beginning of the Foundation Stage, which had five levels of obstacles.

A moment later.

Swoooooosh!

Yuan Bei’s eyes gleamed as he successfully conjured fire from the palms of his hands. This wasn’t a coincidence, or a miracle. It was because Yuan Bei had a talent for understanding that was above average for a Cultivator.

Not wanting to be complacent, he, who needed more combat techniques, began searching for suitable ones. Strangely, he found only one technique called "Universe Destroying Dragon."

This manual contained several close-combat techniques, ranged attacks, and even a deadly formation technique, which Yuan Bei couldn’t understand at this moment.

"It seems I can only train the basic techniques..."

Practicing every movement in his mind, Yuan Bei began to appear as though he were dancing with a long wooden branch in his hand. Although his movements were still stiff, he did not stop training until exactly one day had passed. His movements improved, and he even demonstrated a fluid style of using the wooden branch.

Like a swordsman, Yuan Bei felt as if he were dancing. After training all day, he began to think about searching for more techniques in the "Universe Destroying Dragon" manual in his mind.

"Create a Fire Sword..."

Understanding and attempting to create it as described in his thoughts, Yuan Bei started to practice the fire sword creation technique.

Unfortunately, for some time, he failed to create the fire sword using the element. After five hours of failure, frustrated, Yuan Bei muttered angrily:

"If I fail this time, will I still be called a Cultivator?!"

Swooooosh!

Suddenly, as his focus intensified, his eyes widened in shock. With his remarkable understanding, Yuan Bei truly managed to create a fire sword using his flame element.

"I-I did it?!"

Shouting in joy, Yuan Bei, eager to test his new ability, decided to leave the ancient cave. Staring at the sunlight that began to touch his skin, Yuan Bei began using the body-lightening technique he had learned earlier.

His jumps felt light, as if he were floating in the air like cotton. This new sensation made him extremely happy. However, his joy didn’t last long. A black-horned tiger suddenly targeted him with a sharp claw attack.

Seeing the sudden attack, Yuan Bei could only widen his eyes, causing the claw to pierce his skin.

Slaaaaaash!

"Akkkkh!" Stifling the pain, Yuan Bei began to rise.

"A Level One Demon Beast?!" he grumbled, and began to form a fire sword using the element within his body.

Wielding his fire sword, Yuan Bei showed off his talent in swordsmanship in front of the black-horned tiger. His steps became bolder as he noticed an opening, and he struck the tiger’s neck with his sword.

Slaaaaaash!

"Die..." Still in pain, Yuan Bei rested to recover his Qi energy, which was still limited.

A month later.

Yuan Bei’s progress was terrifying. His swordsmanship skills and his prowess as a hunter had made him a death-bringer to the demon beasts living in the small eastern forest of Cenayang village.

At that time, his cultivation had also advanced after absorbing the soul pearls from the demon beasts he had killed.

"Foundation Stage, Star Two..." Feeling pleased, but his expression darkened.

His survival instincts flared as he sensed the aura of a demon beast approaching.

Swuuuuush!

Sure enough, what he feared happened—the Level Two Black-Horned Tiger King had emerged from its den.

Groaaaaarh!

It roared loudly, creating a gust of wind that struck Yuan Bei’s body.

Swooooosh!

However, thinking that the black-horned tiger in front of him was no different from the other tigers he had hunted, Yuan Bei began to form a fire sword in his hand.

"Y-You!" The Heart of the Dragon Flame spirit, which had just awakened, was shocked to see Yuan Bei’s ability to create a fire sword.

Yuan Bei didn’t respond to the spirit’s shock, as the tiger had leapt to attack him.

Shifting his body slightly, Yuan Bei began his sword attack by spinning his body. The tiger, failing to land its bite, turned around in response.

Groaaaarh!

Roaring again, the tiger came at him with its sharp claws. But Yuan Bei was ready. He used the "Dragon God’s Dance" technique!

His movements, so familiar, made the dragon flame spirit’s figure tremble in shock.

"I thought he was dead, devoured by the demon beast... But now, he’s even surpassed my expectations!"
