Supreme Uprising - Chapter 40

Chapter 40: Soaring-Tiger Beheading

Even with a source fluid, one might still not be able to become a martial master . Whether one was able to become a martial master or not ultimately came down to each individual's base .

Luo Yunyang wasted no time . He began cultivating the Ape-Dragon Blueprint right away . As soon as he cultivated the first seven diagrams, he felt his body become even stronger .

Power: 15 . 5

Speed: 4 . 0

Mind: 2 . 0

Constitution: 16 . 3

A 0 . 3 increase in his Constitution and a 0 . 5 increase in his Power meant that his strength had increased by 250 kilos .

It seemed like the food he had consumed and his cultivation of the Ape-Dragon Blueprint had been less efficient that day .

After a short break, Luo Yunyang took out the manual of the Five Tiger-Breaking Knife Techniques . Thanks to his raised Mind Attribute, he realized that these knife techniques weren't that difficult .

According to the manual, there was a total of 18 movements divided into three levels .

There was Level 1, Mastery, which was when the Five Tiger-Breaking Knife Techniques could be used fully, Level 2, Initiation, which was when each knife killed with one strike, just like a tiger, and Level 3, also known as Completion, which was like five tigers descending from the mountains and hunting down their prey .

Luo Yunyang had already grasped the essence of the Five Tiger-Breaking Knife Techniques and become proficient at them .

By night-time, he had cultivated this set of techniques and reached the Initiation Level . Every time he struck, his knife sounded like the hiss of a tiger .

After a while, Luo Yunyang used the Basic Telekinesis Cultivation Technique again to refine his mind power . While he cultivated, he realized that his telekinetic abilities could coordinate very well with one of the Five Tiger-Breaking Knife Techniques— the Soaring-Tiger Beheading .

Luo Yunyang pressed on bravely .

The instant he used the Soaring-Tiger Beheading, his knife would be sent flying . This was possibly the most destructive move out of the Five Tiger-Breaking Knife Techniques . If the Soaring-Tiger Beheading failed, it would result in the loss of his weapon .

However, if he raised his Mind Attribute to 30 or higher, Luo Yunyang could use telekinesis to make the knife that had been sent flying return to him quickly .

The moment that the knife left his hand and his opponent dodged it, his opponent would immediately relax .

However, the knife would only circle around and return with an even greater force .

Although they were living in a crack between worlds, the next morning, Luo Yunyang and the others saw the same old sun that they saw on Earth dawn on the horizon .

However, for some unknown reason, its ultraviolet rays were filtered there, so they actually appeared really mild .

"Big Brother Yunyang, everyone is here!" Yang Yirui and the others, who were all in their Rising Dragon Army uniforms, were already wielding their weapons .

This would be the first operation of the Ardent Sun Group . As the group's leader, Luo Yunyang couldn't stay behind . He gazed at the 17 elite martialists from the Rising Dragon Army Chang'an General Headquarters and said, "Move out . "

Yang Yirui shook his head . He had addressed Luo Yunyang in the hopes that he would say a few words to the gathered group members . He hadn't expected that their leader would ask them to head out straight away .

Before they entered the luxuriant forest, Luo Yunyang and the others walked past a series of underground bunkers and cement tunnels that formed a defensive perimeter .

This defensive perimeter was at least five-kilometers wide . Luo Yunyang saw many different types of weapons around .

However, when he and the others passed through the perimeter, the officer in charge of these weapons told them somewhat sorrowfully that these weapons had no effect on B-grade or more powerful dire beasts .

Five kilos of B-grade or higher grade dire beast flesh were only around the size of a walnut . The flesh was tougher than iron and breaking through its skin was really difficult .

Weapons aside, most people were becoming more and more powerless against dire beasts .

"We will be relying on you in the future!" the old officer with the white hair said somewhat pessimistically as he bid Luo Yunyang and the others farewell .

Based on the man's resolute expression, Luo Yunyang could tell that he was a veteran . His pessimistic words moved almost all their hearts .

"Are source beasts really that fearsome, Big Brother Yunyang?" asked Chen Yong in a grave tone .

Luo Yunyang didn't understand much about source beasts, but if B-grade dire beasts were that powerful, then source beasts would be . . .

The group, which had been in high spirits so far, went silent .

Luo Yunyang lifted his hand to signal to the people behind him . He had already raised his Mind Attribute to 10 before they had set off .

Thanks to his mental capabilities, everything within a five-kilometer radius seemed to be reflected in his mind .

Plop!

Luo Yunyang's hand moved as his blade fell, slicing a meter-long poisonous black snake in half .

Yang Yirui and the others hadn't even had time to understand what was going on . The meter-long snake had already been beheaded . "This is a D-grade level-three dire beast!" Chen Yong exclaimed . "It's a Black Ring Snake . They are usually found in areas at least 15 kilometers away from the base! How could this . . . "

They had just entered the forest, yet they had already encountered a D-grade dire beast . Although it was only a level-three dire beast, if it hadn't been for Luo Yunyang's timely intervention, the consequences might have been unthinkable .

"Black Ring Snakes are adept at sneak attacks . I've heard that many people have been injured by them . Some have even been killed . . . "

"Someone please help! Someone help!" Before Chen Yong had even finished his words, a loud voice was heard shouting . The lung-bursting shouts seemed to be coming from 100 meters away .

When they heard them, Yang Yirui and the others got a little panicky . They couldn't help but look at Luo Yunyang .

Luo Yunyang quickly raised his Mind Attribute to 15 . Although this decision would cause his Constitution and Power to drop, his perceptiveness would increase even more .

"Come on, let's take a look . "

Qin Feifei and the other girl looked at Luo Yunyang with even more admiration now . He was their main pillar of support .

After a three-minute walk, they reached the area where the cries originated from . A young man around 14 or 15 was waving a long sword frantically in his hands, fending off a dire beast that looked like a meter-long alligator .

The dire beast moved as fast as the wind . Its body seemed to be made of metal, so even though the young man's sword had struck it numerous times, there was not a single scratch on it .

Near the young man was another young man in a Rising Dragon Army uniform, who was lying on the ground . He didn't seem to be in good shape .

"It's Brother Xie Tian," Yang Yirui told Luo Yunyang when he saw the young man .

Luo Yunyang didn't know who Xie Tian was, but he had to be a Rising Dragon Army elite martialist from another region . When he looked at him, he didn't seem like he had a big chance of fending for himself .

"Big Brother Yunyang, this is a D-grade level-one Mountain Gator! Its entire body is as tough as iron . If you want to take it on, the best way would be to gouge its eyes out!" Yang Yirui muttered .

Luo Yunyang nodded . Although he didn't know Xie Tian, now that he had come across this situation, he couldn't just ignore it .

Suddenly, the Mountain Gator leapt in the air, widened its jaws and aimed a bite at Xie Tian's head .

If Xie Tian was bitten, he would die .

As soon as he saw this, Luo Yunyang brandished the long knife in his hand and headed for the Mountain Gator with a Mountain-Splitting Snake-Beheading Move!
