Dragon's Power

In the world of the River Diagram and Luo Book, the River Diagram and Luo Book are the first incredible scriptures in the universe, containing a realm nearly identical to the outside world, complete with towering mountains and flowing waters, even oceans. It is filled with various plants that roughly resemble those in the outside world.

Before a massive rock weighing thousands of pounds, a slightly slender young man gazes solemnly at the boulder.

"Ha!" Suddenly, the young man lets out a fierce shout, launching a swift punch forward!

Boom!

At the moment his fist strikes, a powerful aura erupts from his body. Above his head, two fierce dragon phantoms appear, roaring as they swiftly entwine and fuse together, creating a powerful gust of energy that violently crashes into the massive boulder ahead.

Boom!

Following a resounding explosion, the ground shakes, and fragments of stone scatter as dust fills the air. When the dust settles, the once-mighty rock has vanished, leaving only a field of rubble in its place. The young man has shattered the rock with a single punch.

"Two Dragon Power, that's acceptable, I suppose," a young man casually remarks as he steps forward from behind.

Turning around, the young man, Paul, looks at him with excitement. "River Diagram, I did it! I finally can cultivate, and I've achieved the Two Dragon Power!"

"It's just Two Dragon Power, and it's the most basic form of dragon. With that expression on your face, if you managed to cultivate the Heavenly Dragon Power, would you not be ecstatic?" River Diagram coldly critiques.

Paul merely smiles, undeterred. No one can comprehend the elation Paul feels. From being a waste who could not cultivate, he has now attained the Two Dragon Power. This transformation from waste to warrior means so much more than the power itself.

"Now that I have the Two Dragon Power, I should have reached the Second Layer of Postnatal Realm, right?" Paul asks River Diagram.

Although Paul was once a waste who couldn't practice martial arts, he grew up in the Paul family and is quite aware of the levels in this world. The First Layer of Postnatal Realm requires one Dragon Power, while the Second Layer is achieved by cultivating Two Dragon Power.

As for the dragon phantoms, they are not real divine dragons but rather manifestations that accompany a warrior's level and the strength of their power. The higher the type of dragon, the stronger the person's power.

In this world, martial artists at the Postnatal Realm can only cultivate Dragon Power. Even at the peak of the Ninth Layer of Postnatal Realm, extraordinary warriors can reach up to Ninety-Nine Dragon Powers! Their strength is tremendous; Ninety-Nine Dragon Powers can easily crush a mountain with a single punch.

Beyond the Postnatal Realm lies the Innate Realm, and one of the crucial benchmarks for entering this realm is to cultivate the Kui Dragon Power. The Kui Dragon is a superior type compared to the Jiao Dragon, and an Innate warrior with a single Kui Dragon Power can easily kill a peak Postnatal warrior with Ninety-Nine Dragon Powers.

This is the vast gap in strength.

When Paul punches out and manifests two dragon phantoms, he has effectively reached the Second Layer of Postnatal Realm. It's worth noting that he has only been cultivating for two days!

Such a cultivation speed, if known, would undoubtedly shock the Paul family and even astonish the entire Great Xia Dynasty.

Looking at Paul, who is brimming with excitement, River Diagram does not wish to dampen his spirits, but he cannot refrain from doing so. He shakes his head and lets out a helpless sigh, saying, "You're too optimistic. Although you are a Chaos Body and have achieved Two Dragon Power, you have only practiced for a day; you are merely scratching the surface."

Upon hearing this, Paul chuckles. Even if he is just starting out, having Two Dragon Power already grants him the strength of a Second Layer Postnatal warrior.

What if he reaches the Second Layer of Postnatal Realm? How many dragon powers will he have? Four? Five?

Confidence fills Paul's heart. He knows that as long as he continues to cultivate, one day he will astonish the world and crush all those who previously looked down on and ridiculed him.

At this moment, Paul finally understands why he could not cultivate before. As the Chaos Body, the first body type in the universe, it does not mean he cannot cultivate other techniques. On the contrary, any technique he practices will yield double the results with half the effort.

Paul's previous inability to cultivate was due to his severely blocked meridians! After being kicked off a cliff, he unknowingly bonded with the River Diagram and Luo Book.

At that time, the River Diagram discovered his body type. While healing Paul's injuries, it also restructured his meridians.

Because of this, Paul was able to achieve the First Layer of Postnatal Realm and Two Dragon Power in just one day.

"River Diagram, thank you so much," Paul sincerely expresses his gratitude.

River Diagram merely smiles lightly. "If you truly want to thank me, you must promise me one thing."

"Just one thing? I can do ten, a hundred things—whatever I can manage, as long as it doesn't go against my conscience," Paul responds earnestly.

Despite being looked down upon since childhood, Paul developed a nonchalant demeanor. However, he is not heartless. Deep down, he is a person who understands gratitude.

River Diagram has transformed him from a waste into a warrior; this kindness is akin to that of a reborn parent. How could Paul not repay such a great favor?

"Just promise me that. However, your current strength is too weak; knowing it won't benefit you. Once you are strong enough, I will tell you," River Diagram states slowly.

Seeing River Diagram's reluctance to speak, Paul's eyes light up with curiosity. "Since you won't say, I won't ask. But you have to tell me what level of strength is needed so I have a target to motivate myself."

"When you can laugh freely in the Heaven Realm, you will have the power to fulfill that promise," River Diagram says, a hint of sadness flashing in his eyes, which Paul does not notice.

"Heaven Realm?" Paul rolls his eyes, opting not to inquire further. Pressing on would only sap his motivation. He knows that beyond the Postnatal Realm lies the Innate Realm, and only after that could one enter the world of cultivation and become a powerful cultivator.

As for the Heaven Realm? Paul has never heard of it but knows it must be far beyond the cultivation realm.

To laugh freely in the Heaven Realm? Given that he doesn't even know where the cultivation realm is, he decides it's best to focus on his cultivation. Paul rolls his eyes and goes back to training.

Watching Paul earnestly practice, River Diagram's eyes reveal a hint of satisfaction, and he also begins to cultivate. As a spirit with emotions, River Diagram has many secrets, one of which is his serious injuries!

Currently, he lacks the ability to help Paul increase his strength.

The world within the River Diagram and Luo Book hides a vast treasure trove left by River Diagram's previous master. However, these treasures are sealed, and to access them, one must gain River Diagram's recognition and possess the requisite strength.

At present, Paul is unable to access these treasures. However, the abundant spiritual energy here enables Paul's cultivation to progress rapidly.

In just two days, Paul has solidified his First Layer of Postnatal Realm and is on the brink of reaching the Second Layer.

"Besides having superior heart techniques and skills, if you wish to possess formidable combat power, you will need various powerful combat techniques, divine weapons, magical treasures, and so forth."

"Divine weapons and magical treasures are ultimately external; I do not advocate relying on them. Your body, the Chaos Body, will become an extremely powerful magical treasure. However, various combat techniques are absolutely essential."

That day, River Diagram once again explains the insights of cultivation to Paul, who listens with gleaming eyes.

The Chaos Body, when cultivated to its fullest potential, will become the strongest divine weapon and magical treasure. Moreover, the River Diagram and Luo Book itself is the greatest scripture and the first magical treasure in the universe.

Even at the Postnatal or Innate Realm, Paul will be unable to fully unleash the power of any divine weapon or magical treasure. For now, what he anticipates most is acquiring various powerful combat techniques.

"River Diagram, what combat techniques shall we practice today? Do you have any combat techniques in mind?" Paul excitedly asks as River Diagram pauses his explanation.

"Um…" River Diagram suddenly hesitates, a look of embarrassment crossing his face. He realizes that although he possesses numerous techniques, many of which are coveted by powerful beings in the Heaven Realm, none are suitable for Paul's current level of cultivation.

In other words, aside from the "Chaos Body Technique," none of the techniques in River Diagram's possession are appropriate for Paul to practice at this stage.

After all, River Diagram's previous master was incredibly powerful, and the techniques that could capture his attention are certainly not ordinary.

Paul feels disappointed, finally muttering, "I guess I'll have to return to the Paul family and see if they have any suitable combat techniques." Though the Paul family is not a cultivation family, they do have some combat techniques and skills suitable for Postnatal and even Innate Realm warriors.

"I believe this combat technique should be suitable for your current level of practice," River Diagram finally finds a decent technique without any cultivation restrictions after searching in his mind for a long time.

"Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill?" After River Diagram implants the combat technique into Paul's memory, Paul briefly scans it and exclaims, "This is an incredible technique!"

"Not only can you channel energy into your fist, but you can also unleash it with your palm. The strength you unleash can go up to 50% of your power. If you grasp it well, it can be of immense benefit to you."

"Many warriors have died while practicing this technique. Although it possesses great strength, it also has a high level of danger," River Diagram warns Paul with a serious expression.

"I don't care!" Paul responds vehemently. "As long as I can gain strength, I'll take the risk!"

"Okay, be careful. Practice this technique earnestly. When you reach the Second Layer of Postnatal Realm, I will teach you how to wield this technique," River Diagram solemnly advises.

"Yes!" Paul nods with determination.

With a quick glance, Paul scans the dragon elephant technique and swiftly plunges into practicing it. His fists fly as he delivers powerful punches. He can clearly feel the powerful aura circulating within him.

Under the effect of the spiritual energy in the River Diagram and Luo Book, Paul practices diligently.

For a week, he cultivates day and night, mastering the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill in a short period. He reaches the Second Layer of Postnatal Realm, and with this new technique, he has enough confidence to crush even the strongest warriors in the Great Xia Dynasty.
