Sovereign The
Chapter 19: The Fourth Stage of the Body Metamorphosis of Scripture

But the two Asura Storm typhoons did not last long, it zigzagged within the perimeter of the small courtyard for about a single breath and then disappeared.

After the first attempt, Huang Xiaolong did not swing his blade again but did re-do his movements and remember how it felt when the Asura Storm formed. As he stood there, within his mind was an endless row of swirling cyclones that swallowed everything he went through. Although sporadic, the trajectory that should have followed was clearly mapped on his head.

Half an hour later, Xiaolong suddenly made a move; his hand swayed as he held the sword. This time, there were eighteen beams of blade light that appeared out of nowhere, rotating in constant motion, pulling the airflow to form two cyclones that were twice the size of the first experiment.

When it ended, he once again stood motionless, recalling the sensation when the Asura Storm formed, the way it revolved, and the way it spun as it moved according to its predetermined trajectory and lastly, its direction.

Half an hour later, Huang Xiaolong slashed the Asura Blade once more.

And that's how the process is repeated.

Every time after he slashed, he stood motionless in a place like a statue, comprehending the essence of the movement before attacking again.

From morning until noon, and then night came when the last sunset ray was about to dissipate, the black sword in Huang Xiaolong's hand suddenly swung out. The two strong gales that were typical of the Asura Storm swirled, rotating endlessly with the wind, whistling akin to a sad whimper crawling out of hell; making the heart thump hear it.

The current Asura Storm Huang Xiaolong could last for five breaths for now.

As he listened to the faint cries of Asura emitted by the Asura Storm, Huang Xiaolong heaved a sigh of relief. According to the records, after the Asura Storm let out a faint cry of hell then it was considered to have reached a small completion stage!

If it was the Sovereign Asura Gate Founder, Ren Wokuang knew that Huang Xiaolong had only used one day of practice to achieve a small completion in the First movement of the Asura Sword skill - Asura Storm , he would be dumbfounded speechless.

During Ren Wokuang's time, when he had accidentally mastered this cultivation technique and fighting skill, he needed more than two months of practice before he could let out a cry from hell.

But Huang Xiaolong only used one day!

The training of battle skills was irrelevant to one's martial spirit talent as it depended on an individual's ability to comprehend. In his previous life, Huang Xiaolong was hailed as a rare martial arts prodigy for a hundred years on Earth. The concept of fighting skills was similar to martial arts. Hence it was not something unimaginable that he only needed one day of practice to reach the small completion stage in the First Movement of the Asura Sword Skill.

Seeing the sky getting darker, Huang Xiaolong stopped his practice and entered his room where he sat cross-legged on the cold jade bed, running the Asura Tactics cultivation technique to train his battle qi.

Ever since he advanced to the Fourth Order, the two-headed snake martial spirit had not only evolved into an extraordinary talented twin martial spirit, its physical size had gone up by one level.

By the time Huang Xiaolong's martial spirit had just awakened, the two-headed snake martial spirit was only half a meter long.

The black and blue dragon floated behind Huang Xiaolong with its jaws wide open, devouring the spiritual energy of the underworld that flowed down from the void. After he broke through the Fourth Order, the afterlife spiritual energy became darker, thicker, and purer.

From the body of the twin dragon martial spirit, the oppressive innate aura of the prestige of the dragon race emanated.

.....

Time passed and very quickly a month had passed.

The day changes to one month, and each day is a repetition of the same routine. In addition to practicing the Asura Tactics, and the Body Metamorphosis Sacred Scripture, every morning Huang Xiaolong would allocate some practice time to sharpen the Asura Sword skill in his small courtyard. After one month, the sword lights that emerged from his attack rose to forty from the initial eighteen. Even the size of the typhoon produced by the Asura Storm had more than doubled in size.

One night, Huang Xiaolong went to the back mountain wanting to test the strength of the movements of the Asura Storm. Gripping the Asura Blade in his palm, he swung it and two wind whirls were seen flying out. As the two cyclones created from the Asura Storm spun, every tree within a thirty meter radius was cut down, and on the tree trunk of this fallen tree was a slash mark made with many slashes as if someone was venting his anger into these trees with a sword.

However, with this speed, he needed at least six months before he could reach the ultimate completion stage for this Asura Storm move. Huang Xiaolong thought to himself.

Although the results using the Tempest of Hell were quite good after only a month of hard training, compared to what was described in the record, it was, his understanding of the movements and power he managed to unleash was still far from reaching a grand completion stage.

Once he advanced to that stage, the two cyclones created from the Asura Storm could change direction as he wished.

After spending some time training in the back mountain, Huang Xiaolong slowly adjusted his mood and condition. Opening his legs wide with both of his hands stretched high above his head, he absorbed the world's spiritual energy, turning it into an internal force. Slowly, it increasingly piled up within Huang Xiaolong's dantian.

Moments after entering the training pose of the Sacred Scripture Metamorphosis Body, Huang Xiaolong suddenly saw a flash of golden light from his dantian. Furthermore, his body followed, enveloped in a golden light, the air around him rippled out in four directions as internal force exited from his body.

Slowly, Huang Xiaolong took his palm and stopped his training for the night. His eyes opened as he circulated the internal strength of Stage Three along his meridians, widening them even further!

With this, he will be able to train in Stage Four – Convert the Star Body Power of Scripture Metamorphosis immediately.

Recalling the instructions for Stage Four, Huang Xiaolong's right foot stepped out facing his left foot while his left foot did the same. His lower body bent forward above the knee with his left hand stretched out above the head pointing towards the sky. In this posture, Huang Xiaolong adjusted his breathing, following a certain rhythm. The heaven and earth spirit energy once again flowed towards him, being absorbed into his body.

The night passed quietly.

Only when the sky was clear did Huang Xiaolong put down his left hand and step back, ending his Body Metamorphosis Sacred Scripture training.

After exhaling a mouthful of turbid qi, he attacked several Hidden Hand Treads as a drill before returning to the Huang Clan Manor. By the time he reached the Huang Clan Manor, the sun was already high in the sky. With a casual step, Huang Xiaolong headed to the main hall of the Eastern Courtyard.

Stepping into the hall, he saw both Huang Peng and Su Yan present, however, something about the atmosphere in the hall didn't seem right, so Huang Xiaolong willingly asked, "Dad, Mom, please, what's up?"

"Huang Wei came out of the Spirit Pond!" Huang Peng said as he looked at his son, and his voice sounded rather weak, "I heard he reached the peak of the Second Order!"

Only at this moment, Huang Xiaolong remembered, a month had passed since the Spirit Pond opened. The Peak of the Second-Early Order? It seemed like the results of the one month training in the Spirit Pond were not bad. Huang Xiaolong sneered.

"Dad, Mom, you don't have to worry about the Clan Assembly next year." Huang Xiaolong said, “Actually, I already reached the peak of the Second Order early yesterday the day after tomorrow!”

Huang Xiaolong released his battle qi as proof of his words.

"This, the peak of the early Second Order!" Huang Peng and Su Yan were extremely shocked as they sensed the battle qi emanating from Huang Xiaolong's body.

"Xiaolong, this is ?!" Huang Peng looked at his son, could it be that his son was having another fortuitous adventure? Otherwise, how could he advance at such a terrifying speed?

Laughing, Huang Xiaolong explained, "About this matter, it's better if you don't ask."

Huang Peng and Su Yan exchanged glances; it seemed that their son had many secrets, but since their son did not want to explain them, then they would not bother him about it.

"OK, Xiaolong, as long as you break through to the Third Order at the end of the year, even if you can't defeat Huang Wei, Father will still allow you to train in the back mountains." Huang Peng said as he looked at his son.
