...

One day and one night later.

Meng Tuoluo rode a giant beast and appeared under the red leaf tree on the cliff, which was the meeting point she had agreed upon with Suo Lun.

Not seeing Suo Lun’s figure immediately, her heart went cold.

She circled around the red leaf tree but found nothing.

What was astonishing was that the tree hole in the red leaf tree that existed yesterday had healed up today.

And Meng Tuoluo had not discovered the tree hole on the back of the tree yesterday, so naturally, with the tree hole healed today, she was even less likely to find Suo Lun inside.

Even though Suo Lun was only a few feet away from her, she did not sense any of his energy at all,

It’s well known that Bloody Shore Lost City is fraught with peril, and entering it is a near-certain death, especially for someone with Suo Lun’s level of cultivation, which would be almost certain death.

But after all, Suo Lun was the legendary Yao Xing-possessed. Secondly, it was Suo Lun himself who insisted on going in; everyone has to be responsible for their own life. Even if it meant going to their death.

So, on that day, Meng Tuoluo did not speak out to stop him.

Because she felt that she had no responsibility or obligation to stop Suo Lun. Even, if it weren’t for the responsibility she bore to the Poisonous Snake Tribe, Meng Tuoluo herself was filled with an impulse to go to her death.

For example, the blood wedding at Heilie Castle was also a result of Meng Tuoluo’s death-seeking impulse.

...

Next, as agreed, Meng Tuoluo sat on the cliff and waited for a day, quietly looking in the direction of Bloody Shore Lost City.

Soon, another day passed.

Meng Tuoluo sighed quietly to herself, then turned around and left, having agreed to wait for one day, she wouldn’t wait even two hours longer.

However, after leaving for two hours, she turned back again.

Then, she waited another day, two days, three days!

Suo Lun still did not appear, and she could not sense any energy at all.

"It seems he’s either dead or something else has happened," said Meng Tuoluo, "But all of this has nothing to do with me; I have already more than fulfilled our agreement."

Then, she mounted the giant beast and left, never looking back.

...

Yao Xing continued to release dragon power non-stop, refining Suo Lun’s veins, skeleton, and muscles.

One day, two days, three days...

Previously, the longest duration of refinement had hardly exceeded one day.

This time, however, three days, four days, five days had passed.

After a full seven days and nights, Suo Lun finally opened his eyes and woke up!

Such refinement and enhancement had lasted seven days and nights!

So, how much had his cultivation increased? The first question Suo Lun asked upon waking was this very one.

Although, the sole purpose of his trip to Bloody Shore Lost City was to save Yan Yan,

And just as Turing Duo said, martial arts for someone like him were merely adornments, not important at all.

Just like Jiang Xue, so-called treasures that are priceless in others’ eyes, but to him, they’re not worth much at all.

What priceless Dragon Gold Sword, he’d throw it away if he wanted to. What mysterious and powerful sword he got from the temple, he tossed it straight into the blood lake, just wanting to know if it would corrode.

But with regard to the improvement of his own cultivation, Suo Lun was still very concerned. If his martial arts cultivation were high enough, he wouldn’t be as passive as he was when faced with the situation of being captured by Turing Duo.

Especially since Yao Xing said that this time the absorption of dragon power was many times the sum of all previous consumptions.

And as the previous refining hardly exceeded a day while this time it was a full seven days and nights, the anticipation for the increase in cultivation was very high.

"Yao Xing, how much has my cultivation breakthrough?" Suo Lun asked.

After a long silence, Yao Xing spoke, "Master, you may know that everyone’s Dragon Bloodline Talent is different. If someone has a high talent for strength, the majority of the dragon power will be transformed into strength during refinement. Therefore, most of the time, one can only major in one martial arts profession and at most minor in another. For example, your Samurai Ye Jingyu majors in Sword Dao and minors in archery."

Suo Lun nodded. Even though Ye Jingyu used a curved blade and belonged to the category of half-Swordsman, half-assassin, it still fell within the spectrum of Sword Dao.

Not just swords and blades but other light weapons belonged to this category too, because such martial arts relied on techniques and agility to win, not strong in power or endurance.

"So what?" Suo Lun asked.

Yao Xing spoke, "Previously, during your dragon power refinement, it was almost exclusively increasing strength, with very little enhancement in agility, sinew, endurance, and so on."

Indeed, at that time, Suo Lun had only two requirements: strength and spiritual power. He needed to draw strong bows and have enough spiritual power to aim.

"And then?" Suo Lun prompted.

Yao Xing spoke, "This time, during the seven days and nights of dragon power refinement, your strength, agility, sinews, spirit, endurance, and so on have all improved, with all-occupation, all-attribute enhancement."

"..." Suo Lun was astonished.

Yao Xing added, "That is to say, your speed has increased, strength has grown, resistance to impacts has improved, and combat endurance has enhanced. Your cultivation has achieved an immense advancement in every front, every attribute. You are now not just an archer, but also a Swordsman, an assassin, a forceful fighter, a Knight, a Spiritual Practitioner, and so on. If willing, you can take up any martial arts profession."
