Super God Pet Shop

Chapter 623 Superior Resistance

"Strength can be accumulated and gradually increased, but skill requires sudden enlightenment, which may never be achieved in a lifetime..."

Su Ping calmed himself down completely.

The more impatient and anxious you are, the more it will affect you.

Quiet is the best state to be in when you need to think.

The first thing Su Ping did was to organize his knowledge and skills.

In terms of elements, he has low-level understanding of lightning and low-level understanding of fire; his understanding of other elements is still very shallow, not even reaching the low level.

These are his trainer skills, which can also be used in combat.

In terms of combat, he has the Asura Severing Evil Sword he learned from Ming, and the Demon Suppressing Fist he drew from the system!

In addition, there are other fighting skills, such as the Demonic Body and the Demon Refining Myriad Blood Sword taught to Tang Ruyan. When cultivated to the highest level, they can unleash the destructive power of the Heavenly Fate Realm!

However, while these skills are powerful, they are still far inferior to legendary secret techniques like the Asura Severing Evil Sword and the Demon Suppressing Fist.

In terms of pet trainer skills, he also has various amplification skills, as well as some special pet trainer skills, such as killing intent, which can inspire the fighting spirit of pets.

In addition, potential domains can also be classified as special abilities.

……

As Su Ping was getting ready, Di Qiong's voice entered his mind: "We've arrived. You can stay here for the next half day; no one will bother you."

Su Ping opened his eyes and saw a vast expanse of leaves before him. In front of the leaves was an extremely luxurious bird's nest, woven from countless golden threads. Several super golden crows perched around the bird's nest, guarding the place like sentinels.

Diqiong flew towards the bird's nest and landed in front of the huge, pristine nest. Intense heat surged out of the nest, making Su Ping feel as if he were being roasted.

Fortunately, the golden cube provided him with a lot of insulation, which allowed him to persevere until now.

"Your Highness."

A super golden crow flew over from nearby and respectfully said, "You're back."

"Yes, these are the guests I brought back. They're resting here for a bit," Di Qiong said calmly.

The super golden crow glanced at Su Ping, slightly surprised. To be a guest of Emperor Qiong, he was no ordinary person, but with its eyesight, it could not see anything special about Su Ping.

Without asking any further questions, the Super Golden Crow respectfully withdrew.

Di Qiong threw Su Ping into the bird's nest and said to Su Ping, "Don't run around. No one will bother you here, but it's not certain outside. Strangers might mistake you for an insect and eat you up."

Su Ping glanced at her, not in the mood to argue. The bird's nest was enormous, and the golden threads used to weave it were of unknown material, scorching hot and covered with golden flames. Di Qiong was lying in another part of the nest, and the golden flames were baking its body. Instead of being burned, it showed an expression of enjoyment in its bird eyes.

Su Ping withdrew his gaze, feeling a headache coming on.

The intense heat emanating from the golden flames made him feel uncomfortable, as if he were standing on a fire grill.

"The Candle Dragon!"

Su Ping summoned the Purgatory Candle Dragon Beast, sat on its shoulder, and gave it orders to help him withstand the golden flames below.

If he is constantly in intense pain, it will be difficult for him to calm down and gain insight.

As soon as the Purgatory Candle Dragon Beast landed in the bird's nest, it immediately emitted sizzling smoke. Upon hearing Su Ping's command, dark Purgatory Flames surged from its body to resist the golden flames beneath its feet.

In the distance, Di Qiong glanced at the Purgatory Candle Dragon Beast, a hint of contempt and mockery in his eyes.

"Your battle pet looks quite nutritious," Di Qiong said to Su Ping.

Su Ping: "..."

Too lazy to bother with this vain bird, and with time pressing, Su Ping focused all his attention on himself.

Although the Purgatory Candle Dragon Beast helped resist the surrounding flames and high temperatures, the temperature inside the bird's nest was extremely high. Su Ping felt like he was in a sauna, and the temperature was off the charts. His brows were furrowed tightly, and he was sweating profusely. Under these circumstances, he found it incredibly difficult to concentrate on thinking.

However, the current conditions left him no room for complaint.

Su Ping could only continuously refine his will and completely calm his mind.

"Um?"

Di Qiong looked at Su Ping, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, and suddenly felt that Su Ping's body was gradually relaxing. At the same time, behind Su Ping, there seemed to be a very faint and blurry shadow, appearing and disappearing, like a rotating energy field.

"This guy..."

Di Qiong's eyes flickered slightly, concealing the contempt in them.

It could tell that this self-proclaimed human was extremely unaccustomed to the high temperature here, yet he was able to persevere and remain focused, entering a state of tranquility. This willpower was both rare and terrifying.

It didn't make a sound to disturb them, but simply observed quietly.

……

"The cultivation technique I practice is the Chaotic Star Power Diagram. If I can condense a star vortex, I can also step into the legendary realm, but currently I am only at the Starlight Realm..."

Su Ping's consciousness entered his own body, as if he were traveling in the vast void. He could see that his body was incredibly vast, with each cell like a star, constantly flashing with light. That light was emitted by the star power circulating within the cells.

Within each cell, a faint stellar vortex is circulating.

When a certain number of cells can form a large star vortex, one can step into the Star Vortex Realm. At that time, one's cultivation will also enter the Legendary Realm, with star power as vast as the sea, more than that of an ordinary Vast Ocean Realm.

"Ten days is not enough time to break through to a higher cultivation level..."

Su Ping's consciousness surveyed the body for a moment before finally choosing to withdraw. He decided to focus on improving his cultivation level, but time was too tight, and he wasn't confident.

When his consciousness returned to the continent of will in his mind, Su Ping's soul sat on the vast and empty continent, with figures appearing around him, all of them his phantoms.

Each illusory figure was performing a secret technique.

It possesses secret techniques such as the Asura Severing Evil Sword, the Demon-Suppressing Divine Fist, the Nightmare Thorn, and advanced swordsmanship.

Su Ping's gaze was focused on the Asura Severing Evil Sword, and the illusory figure was moving faster and faster.

"To upgrade the Asura Slayer Sword to its highest level is extremely difficult; I have no clue where to begin..."

"Mastering the Demon-Suppressing Divine Fist, especially the third form... is very difficult!"

Su Ping frowned, his gaze flickering back and forth between the two most powerful secret techniques.

Each secret technique is incredibly difficult to improve upon, but once a breakthrough is achieved, his combat power will increase dramatically!

However, Su Ping had no confidence that he could improve this secret technique in just ten days.

Amidst the repeated struggles, Su Ping's mood gradually became somewhat restless.

"Power amplification, speed amplification, killing intent, the Severing Evil Sword, swordsmanship, domain of influence, space..."

One secret technique and ability after another floated before Su Ping's eyes. His thoughts became increasingly chaotic and confused. His eyes trembled slightly, and his brain was working at full speed.

Every ability seemed to magnify before his eyes, emerging from its very source.

The towering figures within those domains also exuded a hazy, mysterious aura, giving Su Ping a sense of enlightenment, as if something visible yet ungraspable was slipping away.

"My swordsmanship follows the original training method of the Severing Evil Sword. In just ten days, I haven't been able to improve it any further. But I can use my own methods to improve it by half a step!"

Why can't a sword be like a knife, or like a fist, domineering and fierce?

"My sword isn't powerful enough..."

"If one could integrate space into the sword, a single strike could kill ten thousand swords—fast and ruthless enough!"

……

Time flies, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

"No, the Sword Escape from the Void can kill enemies instantly, but its power hasn't increased; it can only be used for surprise attacks..."

"In the training grounds, strength will be tested; what I need is to increase the destructive power of my swordsmanship..."

……

The sixth day of cultivation.

"A single sword is enough to slay the enemy!"

"Ten Directions Sword Fist... is not enough. Swordsmanship is like a fist; although powerful, it lacks sharpness..."

"Not enough..."

……

The ninth day of cultivation.

"The Sword of the Dead... The Sword of Annihilation..."

"What's the point of a sword if it can't bring death?"

"Little skeleton..."

……

tenth day.

"Wake up!"

Di Qiong's voice came, and Su Ping slowly opened his eyes. The moment his eyes opened, a dark light that had been sealed away for a long time shot out from his eyes, like two sword blades, flashing and disappearing in an instant.

Di Qiong's heart skipped a beat, feeling a strange sensation, as if she had been cut by something.

In its eyes, after only half a day, the human in front of it seemed to be somewhat different from before.

His whole being was like a sword, drawn from its sheath, sharp and incomparable.

While it was still in surprise, Su Ping's expression returned to normal, and a trace of insight disappeared from his eyes. He looked down at his hand, and there was nothing in his palm, but he had the feeling of holding a sword.

During his ten days of mental cultivation, he spent most of his time comprehending the way of the sword.

After initially struggling with the decision, he made his choice: to seek a breakthrough in swordsmanship.

Once the choice is made, all that's left is to launch a full-scale attack.

He incorporated all sorts of insights into his swordsmanship. Some of these insights were flawed, and even when incorporated, they didn't significantly improve his skills. Others, while yielding results, didn't reach the level he desired.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye; Su Ping felt it was too short.

He seemed to have never been so focused on thinking about anything before.

"Little one, I will definitely find you and bring you back..."

Su Ping murmured something under his breath; the "little guy" he was referring to was the little skeleton.

During these ten days of cultivation, his longing for the little skeleton unexpectedly gave him some insights, allowing him to finally gain some understanding.

He incorporated what he had learned into his swordsmanship.

The strongest sword technique he now possesses is no longer the Asura Severing Evil Sword, but a new sword technique that he has improved upon.

Whoosh!

Behind Su Ping, a dark aura emerged, spun, and then gradually dissipated.

Su Ping glanced at the blurry figures inside and silently said thank you in his heart.

He was also inspired by some of the great figures in the story.

Standing up, Su Ping looked at Di Qiong ahead and asked, "Is the time up?"

Di Qiong's eyes held a peculiar look as he said, "We've arrived. Follow me."

"it is good."

Su Ping nodded.

He glanced at the Hellfire Candle Dragon Beast at his feet and noticed that golden patterns had appeared on its scales, especially near its legs where there were more golden patterns. Moreover, the Hellfire Candle Dragon Beast's aura was much stronger than before.

Immersed in cultivation for the past ten days, Su Ping had forgotten that the Hellfire Candle Dragon Beast had shielded him from the surrounding high temperatures. Now that he realized it, he couldn't help but be surprised.

After ten days, the Hellfire Dragon Beast still hadn't died.

"I don't think I've ever died."

Noticing this, Su Ping couldn't help but look at himself. He found that the intense heat he had felt earlier now only felt hot, like standing in the desert under the scorching sun. Although it was unbearable, it was nothing compared to the pain of standing on a fire pit. With his willpower, he could completely endure it.

"Has my fire resistance increased?"

Su Ping immediately asked the system in his mind.

He remembered what the system had said earlier: his fire resistance was high-level, which would allow him to survive here for 15 minutes. If it were improved further, it would be high-level, which would allow him to barely survive.

He sat there for ten days, which is considered barely enough to survive.

The environment alone could no longer kill him!

"That's right."

The system calmly stated, "You previously consumed half of that Extreme Yang Divine Fruit, which increased your fire resistance by nearly half. While cultivating here, you entered the Divine Netherworld Realm, allowing your physical body to cultivate and adapt on its own. Without your willpower interfering, the adaptation speed was actually faster, and you now possess top-tier resistance!"

"The Extreme Yang Divine Fruit?"

Only then did Su Ping learn the name of the golden fruit from before, and couldn't help but ask, "Besides increasing resistance, does this divine fruit have any other uses?"

"Of course, don't you feel that your understanding of the Dao of Fire has also improved a lot?" the system said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Su Ping immediately realized that during the past ten days of cultivation, he had mainly focused on swordsmanship and had also tried to integrate his understanding of the Dao of Thunder and the Dao of Fire into his swordsmanship. In this process, his understanding of the Dao of Fire had indeed improved a lot and was now comparable to his understanding of the Dao of Thunder!

He felt that he was just one opportunity away from making a breakthrough in his understanding of the Thunder Dao and the Fire Dao, and had a chance to reach the intermediate level!

"In that case, they are quite fortunate." Su Ping thought of the Purgatory Candle Dragon Beast and Er Gou, who had also eaten the Extreme Yang Divine Fruit. They probably had some understanding of fire-type skills, but they couldn't unleash them because they weren't fighting. They would be forced out sooner or later when their potential was fully exploited.

"With your current top-tier fire resistance, ordinary Void Realm fire skills cannot harm you. Only Heavenly Fate Realm fire skills can barely cause you some damage, but only a little, unless it's a Starry Sky Realm skill!" the system said calmly.

Su Ping was slightly taken aback, his eyes shining.

Even the fire-type skills of the Heavenly Fate Realm could only barely cause him a little damage.

Doesn't this mean that his current body is the nemesis of fire-type monsters, and that all fire-type monsters will have their combat power greatly reduced in front of him?

"That's right," the system replied.

"..."

That peeping tom!

Su Ping gritted his teeth in anger.

Ignoring the system, Su Ping looked at the divine tree carried by the Purgatory Candle Dragon Beast. Previously, this divine tree could not be included in the painting, but now it might be possible.

He flipped his hand and took out the scroll. In an instant, the divine patterns on the scroll began to dissipate, and there were burnt and charred marks.

hum!

Su Ping flicked his finger, and a wisp of dark light shot out, like a tiny sword aura. This dark light followed the arc of his finger, dispelling the surrounding high temperature.

"Enter!"

Su Ping unleashed his star power, directly absorbing the divine tree into the scroll, and then swiftly retracted the scroll.
