Invincible Over the World
Chapter 154 - 154 154 Inner Strength Breaks Through to Innate

154: Chapter 154: Inner Strength Breaks Through to Innate 154: Chapter 154: Inner Strength Breaks Through to Innate Huang Xiaolong won first place in the institute’s overall competition; the guards and servants of the Heavenly Mystical Mansion all basked in reflected glory and strutted around quite a bit.

Before the Heavenly Mystical Mansion, the sound of firecrackers continued for more than an hour.

That night, the Heavenly Mystical Mansion hosted a grand banquet.

Nearly all the powers of the Lutong Royal City and various nobles came to congratulate, creating a joyous atmosphere.

The next day, even King Lu Zhe came to the Heavenly Mystical Mansion, accompanied by his son Lu Kai.

King Lu Zhe said many encouraging words to Huang Xiaolong and bestowed upon him three High-level Fifth Grade Spirit Pills and countless Spiritual Medicines, just like to Sun Zhang and Xiong Chu, hoping that Huang Xiaolong would consume the Spirit Pills and train to increase his strength as much as possible before participating in the battle of the Imperial City.

The more Huang Xiaolong could improve his strength, the higher his rank would be at that time, and thus, the more rewards King Lu Zhe of the Luotong Kingdom would receive from Emperor Duanren of the Broken Blade Empire!

Before leaving, Lu Kai clapped Huang Xiaolong on the shoulder and laughed, “It’s still you, brother, who’s the best.

Damn, before the competition, I even said you were contemplating winning first place in our class, but I didn’t expect you to not only take first place in the grade but also win the overall competition!”

Huang Xiaolong laughed, “Didn’t you also win first place in our class?”

Lu Kai let out a he-he laugh, and then, leaning close to Huang Xiaolong’s ear, whispered with a chuckle, “Brother, be careful.

I think Chen Caixiu also has some feelings for you.” After that, he ran away.

Watching Lu Kai’s retreating figure, Huang Xiaolong shook his head with a smile.

This kid!

The celebration banquet at the Heavenly Mystical Mansion continued for three days, which was Huang Peng and Su Yan’s idea.

Huang Xiaolong didn’t object; as long as his parents were happy, it was fine.

During those three days, Huang Xiaolong did not train the Asura Technique, but instead practiced the Yijinjing.

Huang Xiaolong’s Yijinjing had already reached the peak of the Ninth Form Green Dragon Claw, on the verge of breaking through to the Tenth Posture.

After three days, the Heavenly Mystical Mansion returned to its usual tranquility.

Three days later, Huang Xiaolong opened the God Capturing Ring and entered the Ancient Battlefield, where he cultivated by consuming the Spirit Pills he was rewarded from the college competition and the Spirit Pills bestowed by King Lu Zhe.

After the New Year, he would set out for the Broken Blade Empire to participate in the battle of the Imperial City.

Therefore, improving his strength was urgent, and Huang Xiaolong did not give this year’s Spirit Pills to his parents for their cultivation, choosing to keep them for himself.

This time, the Spirit Pills from the college competition rewards, combined with the Spirit Pills bestowed by King Lu Zhe, totalled seven!

One Early Stage Fifth Grade, one Mid-grade Fifth Grade, and five High-level Fifth Grade!

Huang Xiaolong consumed one pill each day.

On the first day, he consumed the Early Stage Fifth Grade, on the second day the Mid-grade Fifth Grade, followed by the High-level Fifth Grade.

Seven days later, Huang Xiaolong had completely consumed and refined the seven Spirit Pills.

After refining the seven Spirit Pills, not only his Combat Energy but also his Inner Strength had greatly improved.

Although his Combat Energy still couldn’t break through to the Innate, he had taken another step closer.

Half a month passed.

The night was hazy.

Huang Xiaolong stood in the yard, with his feet apart and his hands clenched in front of his waist, his left hand stretched forward into a hook, his upper body turned to the left, continuously breathing in and out.

Streams of nature’s spiritual energy converged towards Huang Xiaolong and entered his body.

With each breath in and out, a trio of spiritual energy flowers condensed above Huang Xiaolong’s head.

As Huang Xiaolong continued his breathing exercises, suddenly, his body trembled.

Below his navel, the Dantian shone brightly, and a burst of energy that was like flames exploded from within, causing the air in the entire yard to shake.

Almost everyone in the Heavenly Mystical Mansion felt a terrifying pressure.

Fei Hou’s yard wasn’t far from Huang Xiaolong’s, and while he was practicing his Combat Skill, he felt the pressure and was greatly shocked.

Looking in the direction of Huang Xiaolong’s yard, he then exclaimed with delight, “Could it be that Sect Leader has broken through to the Innate?!”

Breaking through to the Innate Stage!

Once one broke through to the Innate Stage, they would become one of the top fighters of the kingdom!

Their identity and status would undergo an earthshaking transformation.

Within the courtyard, Huang Xiaolong’s Dantian radiated with a fiery red glow, continuously circulating.

The gaseous Inner Strength within his Dantian suddenly evaporated into the space above it, then steadily condensed, forming droplets in a liquid state, and finally, settled back down into his Dantian, which became fully saturated and turbulent.

Only after the Inner Strength in his Dantian had completely transformed into a liquid state did Huang Xiaolong gradually cease his breathing exercises, withdrew his legs and hands, and opened his eyes with great joy.

His Inner Strength had finally broken through to the Innate Stage!

Although it wasn’t Fighting Energy, with his breakthrough in Inner Strength, Huang Xiaolong could also be considered an Innate Expert.

At this time, Fei Hou, who had been waiting outside the courtyard, walked in, approached Huang Xiaolong, and said joyfully, “Sect Leader, have you broken through to the Innate Stage?”

“I suppose so,” Huang Xiaolong nodded and smiled.

“It’s Inner Strength that has broken through to the Innate Stage.”

Fei Hou was momentarily stunned, then congratulated him with a smile, “Congratulations Sect Leader on your breakthrough to the Innate Stage.” He cultivated the Thunder Water Technique and was aware of the significance of an Innate breakthrough in Inner Strength, just as with Fighting Energy.

Huang Xiaolong nodded, then spoke, “Circulate your Fighting Energy and take a palm strike from me with your full strength.”

Fei Hou was startled, but then nodded.

His body flickered with light as he circulated his Fighting Energy, his face setting into a serious expression.

At that moment, Huang Xiaolong suddenly raised his hand and launched a Mian Palm strike towards Fei Hou; the palm power was silent and breathless, reaching Fei Hou in an instant.

Despite being prepared, Fei Hou was still taken aback and hurriedly threw a punch to counter Huang Xiaolong’s palm.

“Shattering Heart Fist!”

“Bang!”

Their fist and palm collided, creating a loud echo.

In the courtyard, a powerful current of air began to surge and swirl, causing some stone chairs to be flung into the corners.

Fei Hou staggered, retreating five steps backward, whereas Huang Xiaolong only took three steps back.

Fei Hou had retreated two more steps!

Seeing this result, Fei Hou was shocked.

He had actually fallen into a disadvantage in the strike just now!

He had broken through to the Innate Stage several years sooner than Huang Xiaolong, had always ingested Huang Xiaolong’s Flame Dragon Pearls for his cultivation, and in addition to cultivating the Thunder Water Technique, his Combat Energy Cultivation was comparable to some who had just broken through to the Innate Second Rank, but now he had been bested by Huang Xiaolong, who had only broken through less than an hour ago.

Moreover, neither of them had summoned their Martial Souls.

If Huang Xiaolong summoned his Martial Soul, even if he only summoned the Black Dragon Martial Soul, with its suppression over his Galaxy Martial Soul, Fei Hou would stand even less of a chance against Huang Xiaolong.

In his shock, Fei Hou saw Huang Xiaolong’s figure flash as he struck with another palm.

Fei Hou quickly gathered his wits and faced the challenge.

As the sparring progressed, Fei Hou grew increasingly alarmed, realizing that as the fight continued, Huang Xiaolong’s strength grew stronger and his attacks more formidable.

“Could it be that Sect Leader’s Lifebound Soul Skill ‘Instant Recovery’ also aids in the recovery of Inner Strength?” Fei Hou pondered in surprise, knowing that Huang Xiaolong’s Lifebound Soul Skill ‘Instant Recovery’ could restore Fighting Energy.

After dozens more exchanges with Huang Xiaolong, just as Fei Hou was struggling to keep up, Huang Xiaolong suddenly stopped.

Fei Hou felt an immense relief and caught his breath, letting out a huge sigh.

For the subsequent few days, Huang Xiaolong continued to spar and practice with not only Fei Hou but also Marshal Hao Tian.

During the fights, all three summoned their Martial Souls.

Fei Hou was no match for Huang Xiaolong.

However, when Huang Xiaolong combined the Double Dragons Unification with the Asura Sword Technique, his Lifebound Soul Skill, Exquisite Golden Body, and Asura Avatar, he was only able to fight Marshal Hao Tian to a standstill, unable to defeat him.

Even so, both Marshal Hao Tian and Fei Hou were utterly astounded.
