Cultivation Begins with Skill Points-Chapter 201 Red Flame Dragon

Jiang Feng’s face was full of astonishment as he said, "Yuan’er, you want to borrow power?"

"That’s right. Although the ancestor extended his life by ten years with the Life Extension Pill, the deterrence of a First Grade Martial Artist is ultimately weak. Now that Great Chen is at a critical moment of life and death, we must take bold risks," Jiang Yuan explained.

Jiang Feng was still somewhat worried and said, "Will doing so anger Zhong Lin?"

Although his words accused Zhong Lin of being too aggressive, he understood the terror of an Innate Martial Artist better than anyone. If they truly angered Zhong Lin, the entire Capital City wouldn’t be enough for him to destroy.

Jiang Yuan stood up with a stern expression and said, "Senior Brother Zhong has nearly exhausted the Spiritual Liquid of the entire Spiritual Pool. We’re merely using his power for our benefit, without affecting him much. I will personally handle this matter with him."

"This..."

Jiang Feng was still a bit hesitant, but under Jiang Yuan’s insistence, he could only nod helplessly in the end.

...

"System."

Host: Zhong Lin

Skill: Red Flame Technique (Beginner), Five Elements Mixed Essence Skill (Full Level)...

Technique: Spiritual Heart Sword Technique (Full Level)...

Miscellaneous: Alchemy: Fourth Grade Elixir (Full Level)...

Skill Points: ∞

It took a full seven days for the Red Flame Technique to finally form into a skill on the system panel.

"Haha, system, allocate some points for me. Let me see your limits."

Zhong Lin laughed heartily, and in an instant, a multitude of cultivation experiences surged into his mind.

Innate True Qi within his body began to circulate on its own and even started to boil, transforming from the original Mixed Essence True Qi into something fiery red like fire, emanating a terrifyingly high temperature True Qi of the fire element.

Moreover, the secret techniques recorded within the Red Flame Technique were all mastered by him, reaching a level of mastery.

Chen Jia, who was dormant within the Black Iron Ring, suddenly opened his eyes at this moment, sensing the scorching aura emanating from Zhong Lin. His mind was in a momentary trance, and soon he fell into silence once more.

After a while, Zhong Lin slowly opened his eyes.

"Is this the Earth Level cultivation technique? It’s far more terrifying than I imagined!"

Zhong Lin felt the intensity of True Qi within him, his face full of shock.

Although he had learned from Chen Jia’s words about the vast differences in cultivation technique grades, he didn’t expect the disparity to be this immense.

At this moment, the strength of the Innate True Qi in his body was at least ten times stronger than before. This kind of enhancement was simply astonishing.

Zhong Lin now had a premonition that even if Sect Master Yu Jinglei stood before him, he could swat him to death with one palm, let alone Shi Yunyi, who was nothing more than an insect!

"I really got carried away!"

Very quickly, Zhong Lin sobered up, letting out a chuckle.

A lion uses all its strength even to catch a rabbit. Since understanding the realms beyond Martial Arts, Zhong Lin constantly reminded himself not to get complacent.

The system panel’s existence is his greatest confidence in reaching the pinnacle, but before that, the foremost thing he needs to do is hide himself, and not be arrogant.

Arrogant people never meet a good end, there is never a shortage of geniuses in the world.

Feeling the countless cultivation experiences in his mind, Zhong Lin ultimately shook his head.

"The Red Flame Technique is an Earth Level Top Grade cultivation technique. Although the Five Elements Mixed Essence Skill is formed by refining six Yellow Level cultivation techniques, at most it can only reach Dark Level, if even that. Trying to integrate the Red Flame Technique into it is truly like a snake swallowing an elephant; the elephant does not die, but instead, the snake bursts its belly, unable to integrate."

"However, it’s not without gains. The Red Flame Technique’s attribute is fire, after all, it belongs to one of the Five Elements. I can use its cultivation experience to gradually adjust the Five Elements Mixed Essence Skill, continuously strengthening it. As long as I collect enough cultivation techniques, one day the Red Flame Technique can be integrated into it."

"The Red Flame Technique is strong, but its attribute is too singular, and can be easily countered. Only the Five Elements Chaos can go further."

"I have long understood the Five Elements Rotation Skill. Although the Red Flame Technique is strong, it also allows the use of True Qi with other attributes; it’s just that the power cannot compare, as the Red Flame Technique contains secret techniques."

With a thought, a dragon of red flames as thick as an arm appeared around Zhong Lin.

Roar!

This fire dragon was composed entirely of flames, as thick as an arm and about ten feet long, and upon its appearance, the entire room was engulfed in a sea of blazing fire.

As he raised his arm, the fire dragon hovered upon it, its scales lifelike, occasionally letting out a dragon roar. Zhong Lin seemed to sense a breath of life from this fire dragon.

"What a Red Flame Dragon, it’s just a pity its spiritual wisdom is too weak. I wonder what Red Flame Soaring Sky would look like?"

With a thought, the fire dragon dissipated, and the blazing fire in the room was extinguished in an instant.

Zhong Lin slowly rose and pushed the door open to leave.

Outside was already bustling, with a large number of guards, eunuchs, and palace maids pushing water carts as they came.

"Senior Brother."

Jiang Yuan came rushing over anxiously, full of worry as he said, "Just now, the palace where Senior Brother was staying was soaring with flames. Did something happen?"

Zhong Lin smiled and said, "I had an occasional insight during cultivation just now, and inadvertently startled you. The flame has been extinguished, but some furniture was damaged."

"As long as Senior Brother is fine, please move to my Golden Dawn Palace. I’ll have someone tidy up."

"Alright."

Zhong Lin didn’t refuse. Indeed, the palace just now was uninhabitable. The Red Flame Dragon’s temperature had carbonized many of the wooden structures, and it needed thorough repairs.

The so-called Golden Dawn Palace was not far, but when Zhong Lin entered, he found it strange.

The palace was filled with things belonging to women, and the people serving there were all palace maids. As for the other decorations, they all exuded a feminine beauty.

"Senior Brother, aside from the Emperor, you are the first man to enter this palace." Jiang Yuan’s face flushed slightly as he spoke.

Zhong Lin stopped and took a deep look at Jiang Yuan, realizing that despite all calculations, he had fallen into her trap.

He had always wanted to keep a respectful distance from Jiang Yuan.

This woman’s ambition was too vast, and her status as a Princess allowed her to freely pursue her ambitions. If entangled with such a woman, who knows what troubles might arise? Zhong Lin still preferred someone like Gu Yourong, who was of modest nature.

"Junior Sister Jiang, if it weren’t for this deal, daring to scheme against me like this, you’d have long been dead," Zhong Lin said softly.

The voice was soft, but it made Jiang Yuan’s face turn white upon hearing it.

Jiang Yuan suppressed the fear in her heart, her voice humble as she said, "Does Senior Brother really not fancy Junior Sister?"

"It’s not that I don’t fancy you, it’s that your mind is too wild, and I don’t like trouble. I don’t care about any schemes you laid before, let this be the compensation for the Spiritual Pool incident."

Jiang Yuan’s heart trembled, unaware how Zhong Lin, who had been hiding within the palace cultivating, knew about these outside matters, yet she still bowed slightly.

"Yes."

Zhong Lin nodded slightly, "After this matter, it should give you some time for development. But remember, in the face of absolute strength, all schemes and intrigues are just insignificant tricks. Only your own strength is fundamental, don’t let the root and branch be confused."

"Junior Sister understands."

Whether Jiang Yuan truly understood or not, Zhong Lin didn’t concern himself. Circulating True Qi, the next moment, a pair of fiery red wings suddenly extended from his back.
