Chapter 335: Chapter 166: Explosive Increase in Outer Spiritual Power_2

Long Dangdang also paid for the blood of the Earth Thorny Dragon. Having a storage ring came in handy. He used two massive wooden barrels to store the blood, each barrel able to hold up to five hundred liters.

"Would you like to have dinner with us, Sister Menglu?" Shi Zeyu suggested with a smile.

Ling Menglu shook her head and said, "No thank you. We need to make some preparations as we are starting our training with the reserve demon hunting team tomorrow. It might take several months. After we officially become demon hunters, we can intrude upon Brother Zeyu’s time then."

Shi Zeyu nodded at them without insisting. Before parting ways, he gave Long Dangdang a deep look and then departed.

Ling Menglu softly stated, "Be careful around him. The Shi family is very powerful and they hold a high position in the Knights Temple."

"Thank you for the heads up, cousin," Long Dangdang responded cheerfully, then reached out to hold her hand, only to be met with a rolling of her eyes and a slap on his hand.

Once they returned to the Spirit Furnace Academy, Ling Menglu asked, "Are you waiting for Kongkong to come back before starting, or are you starting alone? I could protect you."

Long Dangdang replied, "Regardless, both of us will be doing this separately. Besides, with so much Earth Thorny Dragon blood, we don’t know the effects, I’ll give it a try first. When Kongkong comes back, he can try it too."

Ling Menglu gave him a look, stating, "Sometimes it’s not good to protect Kongkong too much. He won’t truly grow if he doesn’t face any hardships."

Long Dangdang admitted, "It’s habit. He used to get into trouble a lot in our childhood, and every time he did, I would be there to clean up his mess, all while keeping it from our parents. Naturally, I developed a habit of protecting him."

Ling Menglu retorted, "The way you say it makes it seem like you’re that much older than him. You’re both the same age, aren’t you?"

Long Dangdang laughed, "Even being a minute older means I’m older. Anyway, I should get started."

"Alright." Ling Menglu stayed in the living room. Although there shouldn’t be any issues following their previous attempts, she remained there to ensure his safety.

Long Dangdang went to the bathroom, filled up a bath with hot water, and then added the Earth Thorny Dragon’s blood in accordance with the ratio from the Blood Refining Golden Body Technique. Despite their ability to absorb it well, he didn’t rashly increase the concentration. Gradual, progressive trials would help avoid any possible risks.

He stripped and submerged his body in the hot water. The familiar comfort swiftly spread throughout his body. The Earth Thorny Dragon’s blood was even milder than the two lizard species’ blood. After soaking, his body felt warm and heavy.

After a few short minutes, the color of the bath water returned to its clear state. The temperature hadn’t even had a chance to change. This time, Long Dangdang didn’t get out of the bath, but added in more Earth Thorny Dragon blood, slightly more than before.

The faint purple scales on his skin were clearly visible. While they were about to start fading, they regained their original vibrancy with the continued absorption of the Earth Thorny Dragon’s blood.

Long Dangdang squinted his eyes, enjoying the sensation. The heavy feeling was intensifying, as was the comforting sensation throughout his body.

After the third addition and absorption of the blood, he used a sphere to test his outer spiritual power. He had used roughly twenty liters of Earth Thorny Dragon’s blood in total for the three attempts.

His outer spiritual power increased by sixty-five points. The effects were quite remarkable.

After confirming that his body had no issues, Long Dangdang continued adding Earth Thorny Dragon blood, this time adding ten liters straight away. His body absorbed it all smoothly, the only change being that the purple color on his skin became more vibrant. That heavy feeling spread throughout his body, making him feel stronger.

Continue, fifteen liters! Twenty liters! Twenty-five liters!

The quantities kept increasing. Yet, regardless of the quantity, there was no difference in the effect. More of it resulted in an even significant improvement, without any sensation of pain.

This process was undoubtedly very smooth and perfect. And Long Dangdang was quite pleased with it. By the time he had used one hundred liters of the earth thorny dragon’s blood, his outer spiritual power had already surged past one thousand.

The moment his outer spiritual power broke through one thousand, Long Dangdang distinctly felt some strange changes in his body. The liquid spiritual power within his body seemed to be merging with his bones, muscles, meridians and even blood, as if they were maintaining some peculiar state. In this state, his spiritual power became more transparent and viscous, intertwining with each other. Yet, the spiritual liquid seemed to have the upper hand, which led to a slight sluggishness in his body. It was as if his bones and muscles were caught in a quagmire, even though it didn’t affect his usual movements. However, when he attempted to meditate, his spiritual power showed no sign of activity. It was as if the inhaled spiritual power could no longer be absorbed by his body.

He knew that the state Wang Changxin had mentioned had now emerged. After the Blood Refining Golden Body Technique elevated his outer spiritual power above one thousand, he needed to balance his inner and outer spiritual power to continue improving. Wang Changxin himself was trapped in this state, which was why he couldn’t break through to the 6th Rank in two years despite having top-level potential.

Long Dangdang continued to absorb the blood of an earth thorny dragon, but this time, he found that its blood’s impact on his outer spiritual power enhancement had clearly started to decline. There was still improvement, but the rate had slowed down.

Previously, one hundred liters of blood enhanced his outer spiritual power by over three hundred. But now, after using another hundred liters, the increase was only by two hundred outer spiritual power points.

After using up all five hundred liters of blood from the earth thorny dragon, Long Dangdang’s outer spiritual power reached over one thousand and seven hundred, more than twice what it was before.

The inner and outer spiritual powers within his body were clearly more balanced than right after he had crossed the one-thousand mark, but his meridians, bones, and muscles were still mired in a viscous state like mud.

Having changed his clothes, Long Dangdang emerged from the bathroom. It had taken him approximately two hours to absorb all of the earth thorny dragon’s blood. If Wang Changxin knew about his pace, he would be flabbergasted.

"Brother, did you grow taller?" Long Kongkong had returned and expressed surprise when he saw Long Dangdang coming out of the bathroom.

He quickly walked over to Long Dangdang and compared their heights. Originally, they were the same height, but now it appeared that Long Dangdang was taller than Long Kongkong by a head.

Long Dangdang clenched his fist, feeling as if he had an endless amount of power. With just a light swing of his arm, a low whistling sound echoed through the air, startling Long Kongkong who hurriedly stepped aside.

Ling Menglu also rose and approached, asking, "How much is your outer spiritual power now?"

Long Dangdang replied, "Over seventeen hundred."

Long Kongkong’s eyes sparkled immediately, "Wow, so it’s already surpassed my inner spiritual power?" His inner spiritual power hadn’t even reached seventeen hundred.

Even Ling Menglu was taken aback. Long Dangdang’s outer spiritual power had increased by over a thousand more. In just a few days, Long Dangdang had undergone a huge transformation and his overall strength had undoubtedly improved a lot. His total spiritual power had now exceeded five thousand, which was higher than most of those at the 6th Rank.

"How do you feel?" Ling Menglu asked.

Long Dangdang recounted his entire experience while absorbing the power, then turned to his brother, saying, "Kongkong, don’t rush to break your outer spiritual power beyond one thousand yet. Just keep it slightly below the one-thousand mark. Because once it breaks one thousand, we’ll need to pursue a balance between inner and outer spiritual powers. We’re going to have a three-month period of seclusion coming up, and it will be a loss if we can’t enhance our inner spiritual power. When we finish the training, I’ll find more magical beast blood for you, to directly bring your outer spiritual power to a balanced level with your inner spiritual power. By then, you should have reached the 5th Rank and comprehended the liquid spiritual power. I believe that will be the best method. As for the blood of the earth thorny dragon, I think one hundred liters should be enough for you. I’ll absorb the rest first to see how much I can achieve, and after we get out, I’ll buy some more for you."

"Alright." Long Kongkong didn’t hold any resentment for having received less of the dragon’s blood compared to his brother.
