Dragon Martial Emperor
Chapter 51: Alternative choice (Part 1)

Out of nine super grade martial arts of Zhentian Sect, two were of agility type, others were either attacking or defense type martial skill, or both attacking and defensive type martial skills, for example the sky wave cross and white noble spirit.

“In the category of agility type martial skill, besides ‘horizon is close’, there is one more named ‘ghost flash’, this one seems more suitable to me.”

Long Yu was carefully observing the descriptions of these two agility type martial skills and was secretly pondering over them.

In the category of super grade martial skills, if ‘horizon is close’ was practiced to Da Cheng level, then a cultivator would not only be able to cover a short distance at will and in a flash, but it would also come in very handy while giving a long distance chase to an enemy at a very high speed.

If practiced to its peak level, its effect would be stronger, and then he would be able to cover a distance of almost 1000 feet in a blink of an eye, and his speed would be so fast that almost nobody would be able to overtake him. Finally, after practicing it to perfection level, he would be capable of forming a horizon barrier screen, which would provide a good defense for him.

The defense effects of different defense classes of martial skills were different, and so the barrier effects of royal rock wall, Demon vajra cover, etc. were different, but the horizon barrier screen of ‘horizon is close’ was unique in the sense that the enemy would not be able to touch the user, so it was basically impregnable!

Whenever the core disciples of Zhentian wanted to practice agility type super grade martial skill, they would definitely choose ‘horizon is close’.

Because, the effect of the other agility type martial skill, ‘ghost flash’, was really a quite weak in comparison.

If ‘ghost flash’ was practiced to the peak level, it would not only increase the speed of the cultivator, but it would also empower him to have his own incarnation ghost! This incarnation ghost would only be injured by Xuan qi , of course, sword and spear would penetrate into the body of the ghost, but wouldn’t have any effect.

“The reason that this agility type martial skill is considered weaker is that in the present world of martial arts, everyone prefers Xuan qi based attacks. It’s rare to see martial artists who fully rely on a sword or spear to attack the enemy.”

Long Yu thought to himself, and at present, there was a tinct of brightness in his eyes: “However, if ‘ghost flash’ is successfully practiced to the perfection level, then I should be able to make myself completely turn into a void figure, although not invisible, but it should pass through ordinary obstacles, such as walls, trees, ground, etc., if cultivation is good, then I can maintain the void time for a longer period.”

This unique feature of ‘ghost flash’ made Long Yu to like it!

The acceleration effect of this agility type martial skill couldn’t be compared to ‘horizon is close’, but during the fight, the disparity between the two wasn’t too big, the practitioner of both agility skills could cover short distances in a flash, in any case, both skills were much stronger than ‘flickering wind step’.

“If I can incarnate the body of a ghost, then being a void body, it should be able to get through the wall. Then it will become very advantageous in the future.”

Long Yu thought in his mind, then made a firm resolve to practice ‘ghost flash’.

Even with the help of ‘Nine hidden Dragon Mark, he wouldn’t dare to simultaneously practice two super grade martial skills, because each martial skill required long time for its practice, and he felt it was not necessary right now.

Long Yu believed that by the time his cultivation level would increase considerably, he would have found a better agility type martial skill, so he did not need be so eager and hasty at this time.

“Practicing ‘ghost flash’ needs to penetrate Xuan qi into the entire body, and the practice difficulty is enormous! This is another important reason that the core disciples are not willing to practice it. ”

When Xuan qi seeped into the whole body and the internal organs, then it used to generate unbearable pain. After all, ordinary martial artists generally didn’t practice body refining type martial skill so their internal organs were very fragile.

“Even now, I am afraid it is difficult to bear the penetration of Xuan qi into my body, I must first practice ‘Demon tyrant form’ to the perfection level.”

Long Yu thought to himself, and felt that, now he had no more time to waste.

If a cultivator wanted to reach to Da Cheng level of Demon tyrant form, he would have to quench his body meridians with Xuan qi, and if he wanted to reach its peak level then he would have to quench his Dantian with Xuan qi, but if he wanted to reach to its perfection level, then he would have to quench his five internal organs with Xuan qi.

Above the perfection level, if a practitioner was able to quench his blood vessels with Xuan qi, then he could achieve the transcendent level of ‘Demon tyrant form’.

On the way to practice a martial skill, there were different levels, starting from beginner level, Xiao Cheng level, Da Cheng level, peak level, perfection level and the transcendent level.

Any martial skill, if practiced to the transcendent level, would grant tremendous benefits. But not all martial skills had a transcendent level.

For example, ‘flickering wind step’ and many other martial skills could only be practiced up to the perfection level.

“In order to practice ‘ghost flash’, I must practice ‘Demon tyrant form’ to the perfection level. I will have to first quench my Dantian, and after that, I need to quench the five internal organs, then only my whole body can withstand the Xuan qi seepage.”

Long Yu had already decided his next practice plan. He wanted to practice ‘ghost flash’, and for that, the most important thing was to enhance the withstanding capacity of his internal organs, so practicing ‘Demon tyrant form’ to the perfection level would be sufficient. At this moment, there was no need to reach its transcendent level.

“The Feng clan meeting is soon going to be held, and only half a month of time is left for that. Even if I succeed in practicing ‘Demon tyrant form’ to its perfect level before setting out for Yu Guan City, its effects will certainly be extraordinary, at least I will be in a better position to deal with the fellows of Feng clan.”

He knew that Feng Longsong, his foster parent, might have to face quite a difficult situation during Feng clan’s meeting so he wanted to help him out in this crisis.

“Stronger, I need to get stronger!”

Long Yu’s eyes revealed a firm and resolute look. Soon, the practice method of ‘ghost flash’ was completely recorded in his mind and he was all set to leave and practice it later.

” Brother Long, what’s the matter?”

At this moment, Ling Han’s voice came from the side and he arrived next to Long Yu.
