I drew a talisman to save the sun from its bleeding state.

Chapter 91 Dragon Sword Technique at Max Level

In order to become a handsome and powerful sword immortal, Zhou Zheng began to diligently cultivate the Soaring Dragon Sword Technique.

Fortunately, the bedroom was quite spacious, so I could watch instructional videos while exercising.

I originally thought it would only take two hours, but it actually took a full three hours to master the Dragon Strike Sword Technique. The reason is simple: muscles don't grow on lazy people. Adapting the external martial art, the Dragon Strike Sword Technique, to my body took even longer.

Strength +63 points

Strength: 45 points → 108 points

[Dragon Sword Technique Level 5 → Level 10]

[Acquired Trait: Dragon Sword]

[Dragon Sword: If you wield the Dragon Sword, your final damage will increase by 40%-60%]

[Dragon Sword Technique (Level 10): Congratulations on mastering an external sword technique at the Qi Refining Realm. This strike is equivalent to four hours of your training. Just ask your enemy if they are afraid?]

"Hiss... Am I getting a little off track?"

108 points of Strength, 17 points of Swordsmanship Mastery (the Dragon Sword weapon itself has 5 points of Swordsmanship Mastery), and 28 points of Martial Arts Knowledge.

Its immense strength is visible to the naked eye, while the latter two are merely supplementary.

After a moment's thought, the super intelligence activated its super power: "It doesn't matter. As long as I'm strong enough, I can cleave the enemy in two with one sword. Who dares to say that this isn't swordsmanship?"

I glanced at the time; it was already past 7 p.m.

Zhou Zheng put away the Dali Youlong Sword and the cell phone, and opened the bedroom door.

In the living room, Xiaoxue was warmly entertaining Ye Keke. The two were having a great time, and the others also got to enjoy the feast.

"Wow, Zhou-ge, you're done practicing?"

Zhou Zheng: "Hmm, did you invite a chef over to cook a big meal today?"

Xiaoxue quickly stood up: "Oh right, Brother Zhou, do you want to eat? I was going to call you, but Brother Liu said you were cultivating, so I didn't dare to disturb you."

Zhou Zheng sat down next to Xiaoxue and asked, "Where's Auntie? I haven't seen her."

Xiaoxue casually said, "I ate a little and then went back to my bedroom to work on the exam."

Zhou Zheng: "Hmm? Trying to climb the rankings?"

Xiaoxue: "Game leaderboards."

Zhou Zheng leaned back tactically: "Your mom plays video games?"

Xiaoxue chuckled and said, "I used to be addicted to games, and my mom really didn't understand. Then, to get closer to me, she started playing games with me, and eventually... she understood why I loved playing games. Of course, her best game was Candy Crush, I think she had over a thousand levels? I forgot, but it was really high."

Zhou Zheng was stunned: "Your mother is so understanding."

Xiaoxue asked curiously, "Brother Zhou, why haven't you mentioned Auntie?"

Zhou Zheng: "I'll tell you next time. Let's eat first, and after we digest, we can learn some dance."

Xiaoxue asked in surprise, "What kind of dance?"

Zhou Zheng: "Tomorrow we're going to participate in the competition, so let's practice our entrance dance, victory celebration dance, defeat dance, speech dance, and cool dance beforehand."

Xiaoxue's mouth dropped open: "So troublesome!?"

Zhou Zheng: "I'll exchange it for spending an hour with you."

Xiaoxue: "Hehe, deal!"

Ye Keke said with envy, "When will I be able to find someone like Master Zhou?"

"Hmph! He's mine. If you keep this up, I'll kick you out!"

Ye Keke had no choice but to beg for mercy.

After finishing their meal, Zhou Zheng helped Xiaoxue digest and absorb the nutrients, and then he led her to plan how to make a dazzling entrance the next day and how to look cool.

Ye Keke sat sideways on the sofa, full of envy: "What competition are they participating in? Why are they preparing all this?"

Xuan Yizi explained, "This is a competition for Qi Refining Realm cultivators. Daoist Zhou is just going there to have some fun, try to make contact with the local forces, and at the same time, guide the geniuses to accumulate some merit."

Liu Zhen: "Yes, it's much easier to let those geniuses or their families handle it than to let Xiao Zhou painstakingly accumulate good karma himself."

Giving Ye Keke advice can be considered as accumulating good karma, but this is far less efficient than participating in competitions and socializing.

Ye Keke asked curiously, "Can I go?"

Xuan Yizi hesitated for a moment, then explained, "It probably won't work. Ordinary people can't participate in such a grand event without a guarantor."

Xiaoxue, busy learning to dance, exclaimed in surprise: "What? Ordinary people can't go in? What about me! What about me?!"

Xuan Yizi: "Do whatever you want, because your target is the number one thunder king of Liangcheng."

Although Zhou Zheng doesn't flaunt his abilities, his strength is undeniable; he's widely recognized as the Undying Thunder King. However, because the information hasn't been updated, everyone only knows that Zhou Zheng has excellent talent and is strong, but they don't know that he can already easily defeat ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators. He'll reach perfection with a little internal cultivation and with a little external cultivation. They can't even imagine what those poor kids would be like if they encountered Master Zhou.

Liu Zhen crossed his arms: "Aren't you a Five Elements Source Body? You can enter."

Zhou Zheng put on sunglasses and rehearsed his entrance: "Oh right, I forgot to explain to you what the Five Elements Source Body is."

Xiaoxue hurriedly raised her hand and answered, "The Five Elements Source Body is an extremely rare physique that allows one to freely transform their own spiritual energy attributes. It has endless uses, whether in battle or in daily life. And the Five Elements Source Body that Brother Zhou gave me comes with a natural spiritual root, so I don't need to supplement my spiritual root through other means later. I can easily cultivate to the Golden Core Realm in one go!"

Zhou Zheng was surprised: "You actually know so much about this?"

Xiaoxue: "Hmph! Although my talent for cultivation is not as good as yours, my memory is at least pretty good!"

Zhou Zheng became interested, stopped training, and waved to Xiaoxue: "Come on, give me a punch and let me see how strong you are now."

Xiaoxue clenched her fist, and talismans lit up on her arm: "Really? Going all out?"

Zhou Zheng adjusted his position to avoid damaging the furniture: "Okay, don't worry about hitting me, my defense is pretty good."

Five-colored light gathered on Xiaoxue's fist as she swung it with all her might: "Ha!!!"

"Bang!"

Zhou Zheng's eyes widened instantly, a sharp pain shot through his abdomen, and he staggered back two steps. His body, before his mind could process it, switched the active effect of his internal energy cultivation to Rejuvenation: "Hiss... hiss... hiss... This... this shouldn't be happening, how can it hurt so much?"

Xiaoxue rushed over to help Zhou Zheng up: "Brother Zhou, are you alright?"

Liu Zhen burst out laughing: "Hahahaha! What were you thinking, taking the Five Elements Fist head-on? Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter, hahahaha!"

Xuan Yizi tried hard to suppress his laughter, but he couldn't, and kept chuckling softly.

Zhou Zheng clutched his abdomen, using a healing technique to alleviate his internal injuries. He looked utterly bewildered: "This shouldn't be! My defenses are very strong, how could I have been hurt? She's only at the early stage of Qi Refining!"

Dude, your 200 points of defense were wiped out?

Liu Zhen laughed so hard he almost fell over, bursting into laughter: "What do you think is the difference between the Five Elements Fist and the Five Thunder Palm? Hahahaha!"

Zhou Zheng understood immediately.

Five Thunder Palm is a ranged thunder magic technique formed by the convergence of the five elements of thunder magic: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

The Five Elements Fist, or Five Elements Palm, is a noble hybrid Five Elements spell, differing only from the Five Thunder Palm in that it lacks the thunder magic bonus.

In short: mixed damage, high damage, high buffs, high enemy debuffs, high penetration, high control... Five Elements Fist can provide all the buffs and debuffs that Five Elements Spells can provide. Although Xiaoxue hasn't practiced much, she still has the basic buffs and enemy debuffs.

To withstand the Five Elements spells head-on, one must at least raise the defenses of all five elements—this is something that can only be fully considered at the Golden Core stage. Cultivators below the Golden Core stage are generally worried about how to improve their spiritual roots, so they don't have the resources to build up their Five Elements defenses.

Taking the Five Elements Fist head-on was indeed a bit reckless, but fortunately, he had high defense and a long health bar. If it were an ordinary Qi Refining Realm cultivator, he would be searching for his ruptured intestines on the ground by now.

Damn it, could it be that Lei Zu was right? I am indeed not very smart, but I am very strong.

Activate Super Intelligence!

Test complete. No need for Super Intelligence. Super Intelligence has approved the activation of Super Power.

Zhou Zheng blinked. Superpower had the upper hand. That's right, there was no problem with that. Problems that superpower could solve didn't require super intelligence.
