The Rise of the Dragon Warrior
Naga
Inside the journey Shen Long could only use the fruits he found while passing through the Forest.
So many Beast Shen Long had met, but that made him feel astonished where the animal seemed to keep dodging like fear.
That was of course because Shen Long's body was surrounded by transparent energy that always accompanied his journey.
One week has passed now Shen Long has arrived at the top of Kunlun mountain without getting the slightest disturbance despite having to sleep on the ground in the open.
Without any difficulty Shen Long managed to find that hidden Goa with the help of the energy surrounding his body.
But when Shen Long had entered the Goa, the transparent energy disappeared by itself when it met the figure of the Dragon who inhabited the Goa.
" Hmmm... It seems like my Master has sent a weak person to be my Master." The dragon stared intently at Shen Long.
Seeing the figure of the Dragon Shen Long became frightened and intended to escape from the cave.
But unfortunately when Shen Long almost reached the mouth of Goa, Goa was immediately closed.
" wuck... Why is there such a terrible monster in this cave." Shen Long looked panicked with sweat pouring out.
Feeling himself pinched, Shen Long now looks resignedly waiting for his death to arrive because it is impossible for him to fight the terrible figure.
" Mister Monster... Please don't kill me! I just want to follow the direction of Monk Tang Min." Shen Long grew even more panicked as the Dragon walked up to him and hoped that the Dragon could release him.
" Bunk Tang Min? Who's she?" The dragon halted his steps while frowning as he himself did not recognize the figure spoken by Shen Long.
" I'm sorry Mr. Monster... I promise I'll never be here again." Shen Long pleaded for forgiveness to the figure he considered a monster.
" I'm not a monster, but I'm a dragon. You can't get out of this Goa before practicing in this place." Say the Dragon.
" Dragon?" Shen Long frowned, as he thought that Dragons only existed in myths.
" Mm... Whether by chance or not, now you are my Master. I am tired of living in this place. My body almost filled this Goa." The dragon admitted that he almost had difficulty walking in the cave because the longer his body was getting bigger.
Seeing that the Dragon had no intention of killing him, Shen Long began to venture closer to the Dragon.
" Do you allow me to train in this place?" Shen Long asked the Dragon not sure if it could pass through the Dragon's body as it almost filled the Goa.
" Everything you need is in Goa. I hope you don't disappoint me and disappoint my Master. Otherwise, I'll eat you as an appetizer." The dragon thought Shen Long was a delivery from his Master in a threatening tone.
" dragon... How do I get past your body?" Shen Long frowned because with that Dragon present, he could not enter the depths of Goa.
" Babh... I almost forgot. Put your blood on me! That way I can stay inside your body." Dragon Saying.
" aa.. Alright!" Shen Long bit his finger and dripped his blood over the Dragon's head until a light came out of the Dragon's head and surrounded the Dragon's body.
After a while the Dragon's body seemed to be engulfed by the light until it grew smaller as a fist directly into Shen Long's right arm and formed a tattoo with the Dragon's image.
Seeing that the Dragon had disappeared, Shen Long immediately breathed a sigh of relief and stepped into the deepest part of Goa.
In Goa there is a small pond that has a very strong Aura golden.
" Maybe this is what Monk Tang Min said. I'd better practice right now." Shen Long recalled the time he was cultivating since ten years ago.
With the knowledge he had gained since he was seven years old, Shen Long still remembered that within the cultivation level there were 10 tiers :
Basic Swordsman (1 to 9)
Expert Swordsman (1 to 9)
Fana Swordsman (1 to 9)
King Swordsman (1 to 9)
Emperor Swordsman (1 to 9)
Natural Swordsman (1 to 9)
Sky Swordsman (1 to 9)
Clairvoyant Swordsman (1 to 9)
10 Holy Warriors (1 to 9).
Of the ten levels there are actually two more levels, but no one has ever reached that level :
Swordsman of the Gods (1 to 9)
Heavenly Swordsman (1 to 9)
Shen Long whose cultivation had already descended into a tier 1 Basic Swordsman, was now trying to break through to the next stage.
With a unanimous determination Shen Long immediately soaked in the pond trying to cultivate.
Shen Long instantly felt an excruciating pain as his body was pierced by thousands of needles to the bone.
Having gotten used to the various torments he had endured while in the Heavenly Dragon Sect, Shen Long felt the pain as if it was nothing even though the torment exceeded the torment he had experienced before.
The sounds of screaming and moaning from Shen Long's mouth echoed in the cave until anyone who heard, would be sad.
Day turned night and night changed morning, Shen Long did not move from the pool even though half of his consciousness began to disappear.
With a strong determination to avenge the torment and humiliation he had experienced before, Shen Long had to do just that.
Slowly the quality of his bones grew stronger until his physique also increased even the remains of poison that was in his body was nothing left.
Shen Long's skin was getting cleaner and smoother, yet it contained great strength.
...----------------...
One month had passed by now Shen Long had already broken through to the level 1 Swordsman Expert, yet Shen Long still had not moved from the place despite the increasingly intense torment.
Two months had passed Shen Long had managed to pass the torment until he was able to break through the level 1 Mortal Swordsman, as before, Shen Long was still reluctant to get out of the pool because the goal was to spend the energy in the pool even though he had to risk his life.
Ten Months had successfully passed Shen Long, now the energy in the pond had disappeared and was just like ordinary water.
During those ten months also Shen Long managed to break through the level 1 Earth Swordsman where he felt it was enough.
The dragon who had been watching Shen Long from the Soul Realm from the start, now looked a satisfied smile and felt amazed by the determination that Shen Long had.
' It is not wrong that the Master has appointed you as my Master. Even though you are still weak, but it is a natural thing for an ordinary human like you.' The dragon smiled in satisfaction at Shen Long's achievement.
While Shen Long himself tried to crawl up out of the pool to recover power where he had gone through tremendous torment.
Although the quality of his bones and muscles increased, Shen Long still had to stabilize his new strength.
After a day of recuperation by absorbing the natural energy that is around it, Shen Long opened his eyes again and intended to leave the place and look for some food to prop up his stomach that had not been filled for a long time.
After being at Goa's mouth, Shen Long clenched his hand to channel the Qi into his hand.
" Booohom." The huge stone covering Goa's mouth was smashed into pieces.
' Congratulations Sir... You have successfully broken through the level 1 Earth Swordsman. What an incredible achievement. Your physical strength and bones also increased. But unfortunately the Spiritual Master's strength is still weak, so Master has to increase the spiritual power to compensate for the physical strength of Master.' The dragon gave a soul message to Shen Long.
' Dragon... What should I do to increase my spiritual power?' Shen Long asked the Dragon.
' In addition to gathering Qi from natural energy, Master can enhance the spiritual. That's all you can do. Unless you have enough resources, maybe it will help a little.' The dragon replied to the soul message to Shen Long.
" It looks like I have to look for Resources or Pills. But I don't have any coins at all. I have to find a job to buy Spiritual Pills." Shen Long sighed as he stepped down the Kunlun Mountain.
