Urban Soldier Young Master

Chapter 1085 - 1084: The Gilded World

After these days of reflection and summarization, Chu Ge felt that the rapid growth of his Spiritual Power could be attributed to two main reasons.First, he had been battling this damned fragrance every day, which was a massive test of willpower, or perhaps torment might be a more accurate description.

To put it simply, it was like a person who had been starving for three days and nights suddenly seeing a table full of delicious food and wine, yet having to restrain the impulse to rush over and gorge himself.

Of course, this was just a metaphor; the actual situation was several times more agonizing than this description implies.

Second, he would completely empty his Spiritual Power before falling asleep every day, which was definitely a kind of extreme training. Once the limit was expanded, it became a new limit.

In short, no matter what, Chu Ge's Spiritual Power had indeed increased significantly. He had been enduring every day just to add more assurance to his plan to escape from here.

If he could also break through the second level of the Cultivation Technique, it would undoubtedly be like adding wings to a tiger for him.

Now was the moment to attack the final stage of the second level of the Cultivation Technique!

Just like when he attacked the last character of the first level, in this vast and boundless Spiritual World, the eleven characters that Chu Ge had already conquered hung in mid-air like eleven bright stars.

"I hope you can bring me something that surprises me."

Chu Ge took a deep breath, and as his mind turned, the eleventh character of the second level of the Cultivation Technique slowly rose behind him. From blurry, it quickly became clear, and once this character fully formed, it shot forward like a meteor, aiming fiercely at the final target he had to conquer in this level of the Cultivation Technique.

Since he had almost stumbled upon this method groping through the first level, Chu Ge decided to face the second level in the same way.

This time, Chu Ge did not progress gradually from low to high, but started off with the highest-level character he could currently use.

The character that emerged behind Chu Ge turned into a stream of light, rushing forward with unstoppable momentum, seemingly able to slay gods and demons alike, and in the blink of an eye, it clashed with today's target, the last character, under Chu Ge's fiery gaze.

Chu Ge swallowed hard, ready to face the impending storm.

Less than a blink of an eye later, Chu Ge raised his right hand, which wasn't restrained by any special handcuffs in his Spiritual World, and scratched his forehead.

The two characters collided, but instead of the expected shock, the character he sent out crashed into the other like a mud ox entering the sea, disappearing without a trace, without stirring any ripples.

Such a situation was not something Chu Ge was unprepared for mentally.

After all, this was the last character in the second level of the Cultivation Technique, and even a cursory thought would tell you it shouldn't be that easily conquered, though it still left him a little disappointed.

Isn't it supposed to be the strongest strike he could muster with his Spiritual Power? And yet the character that was his target didn't react even in the slightest?

Just as he was thinking this, an almost imperceptible glow appeared on the twelfth character, and Chu Ge's spirit was lifted. He was sure he hadn't seen wrong; it was a fleeting gold light.

Like being injected with a dose of adrenaline, Chu Ge licked his lips, eyes blazing as he gazed at the yet-to-be-conquered character in the void. Just as he was about to gather his strength and focus, preparing to launch his Spiritual attack again, a surprising scene unfolded before him.

On that character, another flash of gold light appeared, much clearer than before, as if that character had turned into a strange-shaped egg, with something inside trying to break free, causing a crack to appear on the eggshell.

Crack, crack, crack...

In the sound of something about to break, the crack on this character extended further, revealing an even more dazzling golden light through the crack.

Moreover, not only was there the original crack, but new cracks were also appearing on other parts of the character, and each of these cracks exuded a brilliant golden light.

The character began to tremble, as if something was about to break out, with more cracks appearing and the golden light becoming ever more dazzling.

Finally, the golden light was so bright Chu Ge couldn't keep his eyes open anymore, not even when shielding his forehead with his hand and squinting his eyes into a slit.

At this moment, that character seemed to have turned into a blazing midday sun in the height of summer. Even when Chu Ge closed his eyes, he could feel the overwhelming light pouring down through his eyelids, as if it would dispel all darkness.

Even though Chu Ge had his eyes closed, he could hear the sounds of a storm brewing, and a fierce wind, like a giant hammer, unexpectedly crashed into him.

Despite having experienced the breakthrough of the first layer of the Cultivation Technique, Chu Ge, after a momentary shock, was ready to face the storm. Yet before his foot could grip the void ground, before he could straighten his spine, before he could feel his hair dancing and hear his clothes flapping, his entire being was blown away by the sudden gust of wind.

Like a cannonball out of the chamber, or like a leaf caught in a storm, his eardrums seemed on the verge of being torn apart by the howling wind, with his body utterly uncontrollable, unable to even curl his fingers slightly!

The wind carried a certain aura, an aura of destruction, truly sweeping away everything in its path.

Chu Ge's body, blown back who knows how far, finally landed heavily on the void ground, producing a dull "thud" sound. Though this was his Spiritual World, he still felt his organs violently trembling, his head spinning, and his ears buzzing incessantly.

Then, Chu Ge heard a sound that was both near and far, as solemn and distant as the chimes of an ancient temple bell, yet as domineering and fierce as ten thousand thunders.

Roar!

Chu Ge's eye corners twitched violently. This time he wasn't just acting out his emotions; his heart was genuinely shaken to its core.

As this sound entered his eardrums, all other sounds seemed to vanish suddenly, leaving only this sound echoing vibrantly in his ears and mind!

Although he had never heard this sound before, somehow he had a strong, unquestionably intuitive feeling.

This... damn... was the legendary dragon's roar!

Not a question, but a certainty!

After the violent shock, Chu Ge's organs were still trembling, his blood boiling up. Something kept pressing against his throat, and despite wanting to hold back, he couldn't. He could only tilt his head with all his strength and spit out a mouthful of blood.

Chu Ge opened his eyes, as when the white tiger appeared before, his entire Spiritual World transformed from chaos to silver-white. But this time, in front of him, it changed again, from silver-white to a radiant gold!

Squinting his eyes, Chu Ge still couldn't adapt to the dazzling golden light. In the haze, a giant figure appeared in the void of the air.

Chu Ge laughed, although his whole body felt as if the bones were falling apart, his organs churning painfully like being burned by flames, with the sweet and bloody taste lingering in his mouth, throat, and taste buds. Yet, he still laughed, with his trademark smile.

Chu Ge's smile contained mischief, wildness, and... indescribable excitement.

He had encountered many bizarre things, but in his lifetime, nothing was more extraordinary than this moment.

In his sight appeared a dragon, absolutely over a hundred meters long, covered in golden scales, five claws gleaming brightly, with twin horns on its head, golden long whiskers fluttering without wind, its massive body coiled in the void sky, practically blotting out the sun...

Dragon!

Chu Ge tried to support himself with his arm, but as soon as his body left the void ground by less than two centimeters, he collapsed again, uncontrollably spewing out another mouthful of blood.

"Ha, hahaha, hahahahaha!"

Gazing without blinking at the imposing golden dragon, Chu Ge laughed as he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, laughing with exceptional brilliance, laughing as though crazed.

Even though his body pain felt like being torn apart and his organs continued churning, Chu Ge felt immensely exhilarated, even blood surging. Since youth, he had heard countless legends about dragons, never imagining witnessing one in his lifetime!

Chu Ge gazed at the giant dragon, and the dragon gazed back at Chu Ge.

The man looked admiringly into the distance, while the dragon looked indifferently downward.

The dragon's eyes were as black as ink, so profound as if they could contain the entire universe, with pupils as large as water buckets, appearing like two burning emerald gems, projecting an aura capable of challenging heaven and earth.

This atmosphere was eerily heavy; if it were someone else, they wouldn't just laugh out loud; they would probably have their scalp tingling, barely daring to breathe. Yet, Chu Ge laughed more freely, even recklessly, like a mischievous child.

Chu Ge touched his chest, feeling the heart pounding violently due to an indescribable thrill and excitement, sounding "thump-thump" like boiling. Despite the chest cavity, bones, muscles, and skin, he could still intensely feel that feverish rhythm.

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, raising his hand to support the void ground, now transformed into a golden hue, Chu Ge slowly stood up. Despite the raging wind having ceased, he looked as if he might collapse with a gentle breeze beside him.

Yet, no matter how strenuous Chu Ge's movements were, there was not even a hint of hesitation, his entire being exuded a kind of extraordinarily fierce determination, with eyes burning intensely, his gaze seemingly challenging the giant dragon.
