Chapter 258: 159: Shocking breakthrough! Homeward bound!_2

Suo Lun was completely astonished and asked, "How much has my cultivation level actually increased?"

Yao Xing said, "Your archery cultivation level has directly broken through ten stages, advancing from a third-grade Samurai Archer to a Middle-layer Three Stars Samurai Archer. Remember, this is entirely your own Dragon Force Cultivation, you don’t need any help from me to reach this level."

Junior Samurai range from the first to ninth grade.

Middle-layer Samurai range from the first to ninth star.

Senior Samurai range from the first to ninth rank.

Under normal circumstances, to break through from a third-grade Samurai Archer to a three-star Samurai Archer would take at least two years.

But now, Suo Lun had achieved this immensely astonishing breakthrough in just one night.

Yao Xing continued, "As for other Martial Arts professions like assassins, Swordsmen, Samurai, and Knights, you have also nearly increased ten levels, breaking through from zero to a ninth-grade Samurai, just one step away from the middle-layer Samurai."

In other words, Suo Lun was now a ninth-grade assassin, ninth-grade Swordsman, ninth-grade Samurai, ninth-grade Knight, and so on.

Among the various Martial Arts professions, assassins were suited for killing and made good money, but they never had any status.

Swordsmen were suitable for sparring, hence they were favorites among the nobility.

Samurai and Knights were created for the battlefield. The strength of an army was measured by how many Samurai and Knights it had.

The Samurai were the leaders of the infantry, and the Knights were leaders of the Cavalry.

The majority of the warriors under Suo Lun’s command were Samurai and Knights. These people were not strong when fighting alone but were exceedingly useful and powerful on the battlefield, far surpassing a senior Samurai.

Moreover, in this world, Samurai and Knights were the two Martial Arts professions that were the hardest to improve. They entirely relied on countless blood and sweat, and there were few shortcuts available.

And the Royal City Academy focused most on nurturing Samurai and Knights, as they were the backbone of the entire world.

"However, all these advancements pale in comparison to your spiritual power cultivation, which is your strongest aspect," Yao Xing said.

"How much has my spiritual power cultivation broken through?" Suo Lun inquired, his interest most piqued by this.

Because spiritual power was the strongest Martial Arts in this world, both of his desperate counterattacks had relied on spiritual power attacks. Once, he had killed Xuesha, and another time he had almost killed Turing Duo.

Spiritual Practitioners were so exalted and powerful. Yet, in this world, there were hardly any who chose this path.

Firstly, it made extreme demands on one’s spiritual talent; without a spiritual talent of at least 8.5, there was no point in cultivating Mental Skills.

Secondly, this profession was too transcendental and almost completely monopolized by the Dragon Temple, with little room for development in the secular world.

Even more, once one chose to be a Spiritual Practitioner, they would be weakened in other Martial Arts since Spiritual Practitioners spent their days and nights in meditation and found it hard to increase their Dragon Force.

For example, the Spiritual Practitioner in the Heaven Tomb had such an incredibly strong spiritual power cultivation it was almost against the natural order, but his Martial Arts level was only average.

Therefore, Spiritual Practitioners were the least compatible and most rare profession.

Yao Xing said, "During the devouring in the Heaven Tomb, your spiritual power cultivation had advanced to the middle-layer. This time, your spiritual power cultivation has made another huge leap, from the initial stage of the middle-layer to Middle-layer Six Stars, a full six-level increase."

Yao Xing continued, "Not only that, but your spiritual talent has once again improved, from 8.7 to 8.9. Now, in the entire Rage Wave Kingdom, there shouldn’t be more than ten people whose spiritual talent surpasses yours."

Suo Lun was truly and utterly shocked. As a Middle-layer Six Stars Spiritual Practitioner employing Yao Xing for a critical hit, he feared that even some Senior Samurai would not be his match.

"Wasn’t the energy absorbed this time only Dragon Force? Was there no spiritual power?" Suo Lun asked, puzzled.

Yao Xing explained, "The energy we devoured came from the flames of an ancient dragon, the most pure and powerful energy in the world that ignores all attributes."

Suo Lun was thoroughly, completely staggered.

If to go from a third-grade Samurai Archer to a Middle-layer Three Stars Samurai Archer took two years,

Then, for other Martial Arts professions like assassins, Swordsmen, Samurai, and Knights, breaking through from zero to a ninth-grade Samurai would also require at least three years.

And for a Middle-layer Spiritual Practitioner to break through to a Middle-layer Six Stars Spiritual Practitioner would need more than five years.

In short, the advancement that would normally take fifteen years to achieve, Suo Lun had accomplished in just a single night, such a heaven and earth-shattering promotion.

"Master, and this advancement is entirely your own, you don’t need me to provide any energy at all, it is completely derived from your own bloodline," Yao Xing said.

Suo Lun asked, "How is this possible? Previous advancements were only one or two attributes, but this time it was a full attribute increase?"

Yao Xing explained, "It’s because of the Dragonflame Tempering in the Holy Temple a few days ago. Although it nearly annihilated you, and it lasted barely half a second, it had completely transformed and elevated your Dragon Vein, enhancing all of your attributes and talent, metamorphosing the bloodline that truly belongs to you."

That night, the Dragonflame Incineration made Suo Lun feel the true terror.

Even with Yao Xing’s aid, he was almost turned to ash in an instant. If not for the sea of blood, he would have died a thousand times over.

Yao Xing said, "Even after bringing you such a tremendous breakthrough, to be on the safe side, I’ve still retained a considerable amount of Dragon Force energy, providing you with enough power to perform many, many Dragon Force critical hits."
