Chapter 745: Supernatural Ability Character (III)
The very world was overturning!
“Do you need help?” came Hong Yitang’s transmission.
“No!” Li Hao’s face was pale, but he only looked at the sky. There was no need. There was will in the tiger and heart in the character. The ‘fire’ character condensed the strength of an entire supernatural lock and was interspersed with the strength of the ferocious tiger. It represented a lot of things and he would be gravely injured if it shattered.
But once it fully stabilized, it would be one of his greatest weapons.
RUMBLE!!
The tiger’s struggle with the three thunderbolts continued. The character blazed resplendently as sword aura collected and the tiger waved its claws around. It pierced through the sky like a sharp sword!
The five auras themselves were sword auras to begin with! This one was currently the sword of the fire tiger; it swung through the void.
Powerhouses swiftly gathered outside the yard. Deputy Zhou frowned at the sky, but couldn’t see the happenings clearly. Li Hao had sealed off the premises with a mirror fragment! All he could make out between shifting shadows was a proud tiger loftily regarding the world.
“Has he converted back to being a martial master?” Deputy Zhou looked curiously at Hong Yitang. That was an aura!
The man didn’t know what to say and stared back at the deputy. “You’re asking me?” How the heck would I know? This was both energy and aura. He was completely confused! Who in the world knew what was going on and what Li Hao was playing at now?
All Hong Yitang knew was that the disturbance was enormous; he only learned now that the energy produced in the world could possess offensive capabilities as well! This wasn’t just an ordinary attack, but an uncommonly fierce offensive force. Those bolts of energy were attacking that tiger!
A rush of overwhelming flame abruptly blazed through heaven and earth, burning straight through the barrier created by the mirror. Fire spread through the opening and Panther followed in hot pursuit, devouring most of the flames in its golden form.
Hong Yitang’s eyes widened and he waved a thunderbolt into existence, swallowing the remains of the tongue of fire. A wisp of it escaped extermination and grazed his hand. He shook it out of existence, but it left a burn mark on his arm. The man frowned at it. This was strange, how was it this strong? This wasn\'t just mysterious power, but a melting pot of a lot of different things.
I’m so confused!
Deputy Zhou took a few steps back. The flames in front of him were doused, but immediately came back to life. They flared with violence and leapt for the old man!
“How odd!” Deputy Zhou raised his hand and brought down a wave of aura around him, suppressing the flames. He approached them with a frown, wanting to take a closer look, when they abruptly morphed into a tiger. The tiger then promptly exploded with a rumble and left no traces behind.
“Eh?” Deputy Zhou blinked.
“What kind of strength was that?” Hong Yitang frowned.
“I’m not sure... has he incorporated mysterious power into the body?”
......
As the two discussed outside, Li Hao’s tiger aura grew stronger as the young man infused more blood qi into it.
Boom!
Like a sword unsheathed, it struck with a paw and ripped the lightning to pieces. The tiger swallowed the fragments and challenged the four directions anew. Although Li Hao’s face grew paler, his eyes grew brighter. The character had solidified! An entire supernatural lock was integrated in the ‘fire’ character, as well as his life force, blood qi, mental strength...
It felt like his entire being was part of the character.
Li Hao closed his eyes, finding himself part of the ferocious tiger when he shifted his mind. No, he was the tiger. This character was written from his heart’s blood and the manifestation of dao. It was himself!
The young man sensed the surroundings—sword intent erupted. The Lifeless Sword!
The tiger waved its paws around much like Li Hao swung his sword. The weapon swept forward!
Bam!
Thunder and lightning broke in the air, reduced to nothing. Li Hao seemed to be a martial master once more in this moment, but he did find his capabilities slightly lacking. He didn’t pay heed to this. Endless fire energy surged into the tiger when it opened its mouth!
Energy congregating from the outside world instantly vanished into the tiger’s maw, which meant it was also absorbed by the young man. There was abruptly no energy in the surroundings around them, just a singular character hovering in the air.
The tiger returned to the character and turned into a brand that darted into it. Li Hao summoned the character to him with a thought; it landed in his heart. The heart was still and at peace. It contained no supernatural lock, aura, or anything at all. There was only a character that quietly hovered within it.
Li Hao blinked. Had he... succeeded? He didn’t know. The character was exceedingly quiet and showed no signs of activity. Had he obtained a third element or not?
A faint wisp of blood qi rose from the heart and slowly melded with the character. Li Hao had expended so much just now that his face was still pale. Confusion swirled in his eyes as he couldn’t determine if he was an Arcanus of three elements or not.
“Come out!”
BOOM!
A sky full of fire threatened to immolate the world!
The character moved in accordance with his thoughts and suppressed the void. A ghastly whine echoed after a loud impact and flames erupted over Panther’s body. Li Hao blinked and quickly withdrew the character.
It vanished!
Panther was burnt to a crisp after that encounter. It howled and whined with anguish, settling down to glare at Li Hao only after the young man infused it with large sums of sword energy.
“I was just giving it a try and seeing if I can use it,” Li Hao explained himself awkwardly. “Sorry, sorry!”
But he was overjoyed at the same time! He could! And he could use it very smoothly! The fire character itself was a supernatural ability and it imposed no strain on the five organs. What... was this?
He’d simply followed his thoughts and the ultimate art of Tranquil Star to conduct an experiment. The results were startlingly good!
“If this really is the case, then I can create supernatural abilities out of my other four organs. I already command the abilities of wind and thunder, and if I can somehow comprehend the auras of light and dark... Wouldn’t that make me... invincible?”
But Li Hao then promptly became depressed. I only know the auras of the five elements, I don’t know the auras of wind, thunder, light, and dark! In that case... it will be very difficult for me to collect their characters.
“But... I can do it... for the five elements...” His eyes lit up as he became agitated. The strength in these characters did not seem to come from outside, but from his own body. He could manipulate it at will, like he did internal force. Or rather, it’d be more accurate to say that it was a closer fit for himself than internal force.
Wouldn’t that mean that he’d turned mysterious power into his own use?
“Fire!” Flames appeared in his palm and brewed into a sea of flames when he pushed his palm out. This was so much better than the unstable wind and thunder abilities.
What a pity...
Twinges of pain assailed Li Hao when he took stock of his resources. He’d consumed a great deal of sword energy and at least twenty drops of Water of Life for his experiment. What a costly attempt!
Of course, that wasn’t much compared to gaining a stabilized ‘fire’ character.
He stretched his senses toward his newfound acquisition, finding himself to be the same as before. He only perceived the wind and thunder abilities; his newfound ability of fire seemed to have entirely disappeared.
Had it completely retracted inside himself? That would be... incredible!
Li Hao grinned. He knew what path to walk in the future. Although he himself didn’t know if he counted as a martial master, he could at least utilize sword intent again. Then can I continue the path I was on before and continue to comprehend the aura, combining it into my supernatural abilities, and then turning it into a character...
One word per supernatural ability?
One word per aura?
Can all these characters be combined into one in the end?
A multitude of inspiration flooded his mind as the young man inwardly jumped for joy, exulting in the sensation of spontaneous comprehension! My dao... lies ahead of me!
......
The way forward was clear to Li Hao now, so he was very excited! Not only was this an improvement of strength, but he seemed to have shone a light into the darkness after this experiment. He knew how to proceed forward. The road ahead was long!
One character, one aura. One character, one legacy. One character, one supernatural ability! The unending path stretched out in front of him!
“The disturbance from my refinement attempt was too great!” He wanted to experiment with the other four abilities as well, but that would cause a further uproar. After the fire character returned to his body, everything was contained within and he no longer had the previous sensation of being unable to endure his abilities. He could absolutely complete the same actions for the other four elements. They might not be able to erupt altogether at the same time, but it would resolve an enormous issue for him.
Aura!
If all five could be turned into supernatural abilities and their locks integrated within, his auras would no longer battle interference from the locks. The locks wouldn’t need to be sealed away again, like the martial masters did, and he wouldn’t have to fear their breakage like other Arcanus did.
The increase in strength was less important. What was more critical was that he could perfect himself and incorporate all of his knowledge into his next step.
