System’s Super Sect

Chapter 17: Jiao-Dragon Rage

Translator: Lordbluefire

After carefully thinking about it, the price of 50 gold coins a day made Wen Ping feel that his disciples would jump up indignantly!

“System, what’s the ability that we can indoctrinate now?”

“The host can arrange it freely.”

After that, a scene appeared before his eyes. In the scene, a man was dancing around with a sword. Strands of sword light flew around like threads in the air, and everywhere they passed by, sand and small stones would fly from the force. Huge rocks were as tender as soft tofu and easily sliced into pieces.

Next, the man held the sword and pointed straight ahead. His gaze became extremely sharp. At that instant, the sword and the man became one and transformed into a beam of light that surged forward. When he appeared again, he was already ten meters away from his original spot, and as he casually glanced back, the bronze puppets behind him were all sliced into two.

After seeing this, Wen Ping focused his gaze on the note below the scene.

Supreme White Sword Art: Inferior-grade yellow-tier arterial art.

This simple row of words made Wen Ping unable to calm down after a long time. He could only laugh loudly to suppress his shock.

Why was Wen Ping acting like this?

This had to be explained starting from the Body Refinement Realm.

Although an expert at the thirteenth level of Body Refinement could already be considered a top-tier expert in Cangwu City, they were basically still a martial artist.

The cultivation arts they trained in were mortal-ranked.

The martial arts they practiced were also mortal-ranked.

Even the weapons they used were mortal-ranked.

Only after finding the Earth Destruction Arterial Gate and opening it to enter the Mystic Realm would one become a cultivator. Because only at this stage could the cultivation arts they practiced surpass the mortal-ranked ones.

They would then become ranked.

The term ‘martial arts’ would also vanish with it. Their martial arts would then no longer be termed as martial arts but as arterial arts or arterial techniques.

Their strength sprang from their arteries and veins, giving rise to mystic arts.

Their mortal-ranked martial techniques would become arterial techniques.

This was also why the cultivation realm after one had opened the first arterial gate was known as the Mystic Realm.

Even a single move from the lowest-tier, inferior-grade yellow-tier, arterial art was considered an exceptionally precious and rare treasure in Cangwu City. Back when the Immortal Sect was in its glorious phase, their ultimate art was none other than an inferior-grade yellow-tier one, and only the sect leader was permitted to cultivate it.

And now, the ability being given by the ‘ability indoctrination’ was actually an arterial technique.

This was the ultimate art of a 2-stars sect and one would be able to cultivate it for just 50 gold a day!

How could Wen Ping be able to calm the raging waves of joy and excitement in his heart?

At this moment, the system said, “Host, please look at the second option.”

The scene changed and a dragon appeared before his eyes. No, more accurately, it was a jiao-dragon.

Jiao, dragon species, a hornless dragon.

Dragons had horns but jiao only had fins.

Their fins were located at their head area and could open like an umbrella, producing intense vibrations that could trigger floods.

At this moment, the jiao-dragon stretched its head out of the water and was roaring angrily at the sky. Its voice was as loud as rumbling thunder.

A single roar caused the rivers to flood.

Two roars later, mountains crumbled and all light faded from the sky.

Wen Ping glanced at it for a while before shifting his gaze to the note below.

Jiao-dragon Rage: An inferior-grade yellow-tier arterial art. (Your voice will be able to shatter mountains or kill enemies on the field. It is a very rare soundwave-based art.)

“The first option costs 1,000 gold, and the second option costs 2,000. Host, make your own decision.”

“Spending money again! I knew it long ago. You must have seen that I finally have some money so you want to fleece me out of it.”

“There would only be returns if there were investments.”

“Let me think about it. The Supreme White Sword Art looks pretty good and completely transcends the scope of a mortal-ranked martial art. However, its sword moves are more for fighting one-on-one, and it has a very high requirement when it comes to the usage of qi. Currently, Yun Liao is the only person who can achieve the external release of inner qi, so it isn’t worth it if I purchase this and use ability indoctrination. As for the Jiao-Dragon Rage, its damage encompasses single-unit, multiple-unit, and area of effect (AOE). I will surely choose this due to the AOE factor, but it’s simply too expensive. Right now, I only have slightly over 2,000 gold and there are many things I need to spend money on.”

Meals cost money. Furnishing the sect and designing a standard uniform also cost money. Moreover, Wen Ping also needed to hire servants and maids, as he didn’t only have to take care of himself but the whole sect as well.

“Buying the second one will be more worth it. There will be a complimentary jiao-dragon.”

Wen Ping decisively spoke, “Second option then. I have to choose the second option!”

An hour later, Wen Ping went to the back mountain.

This place had changed completely. It was originally a small slope with a bunch of houses. But right now, it had become like a unique villa situated in the middle of the lake. The system had forcefully dug a hole here to draw out the underground water and let the water flow around the island on both sides.

Naturally, the water didn’t merely constitute a small stream; it was a deep bottomless pool instead. The water rushed from above and flowed to the opposite shore, gushing back to the deep pool below the stone eye, completing a cycle.

The more Wen Ping looked at this place, the more he wanted to stay here.

But all of a sudden, Wen Ping thought of something and hurriedly asked the system, “Where’s the jiao-dragon?”

At the same time, he stretched his head into the water to peer below. However, other than darkness, he wasn’t able to see anything.

Let alone a jiao-dragon, there wasn’t even a tiny fish.

The system replied, “It is sleeping. Don’t tell me that you feel jiao-dragons should be swimming about and doing tricks for everyone to watch?”

“In that case, what’s the meaning of this complimentary gift?” asked Wen Ping.

“It is to allow one to ‘feel’ jiao-dragons better and improve the affinity between humans and dragons. This will allow them to practice the Jiao-Dragon Rage better.”

“Can I try it for free?”

“Nope, even as my host, you have to pay money. However, the host can obtain a chance for a free Enlightenment Provision.”

“Enlightenment Provision?”

“The Enlightenment Provision will last six hours, and the speed of the arterial art indoctrination will increase to a duration between ten to a hundred times. As for how much the host can comprehend, it will depend on your luck.”

“100 times naturally, my character is the best and my luck is second to none.”

After that, Wen Ping sat cross-legged beside the lake. His palms were placed on each of his knees and they were facing skyward. He then slowly relaxed.

The cries of the birds and bugs vanished. After that, he couldn’t even hear the sound of the water flowing.

He had entered a special state and right now, he existed in a blank space.

After that, he saw a scene in his heart.

[Enlightenment Provision Mode activated!]

[Speed: 99x]

Upon seeing this, the corner of Wen Ping’s lips curled slightly, revealing a fleeting smile. He continued sitting cross-legged in silence.

In the wondrous state, Wen Ping transformed into a jiao-dragon.

He was a dragon with no horns and lived deep under the waters. A single dragon roar could make lakes and rivers flood, causing gigantic waves to rise to the sky.

A single leap could allow him to cross a thousand mountains and ten thousand streams.

He glanced down imperiously at the land only to see fields of green. The wind gusted and the grass parted, allowing him to see cows and sheep.

Not long later, Wen Ping transformed into another gigantic beast that was currently roaring in opposition at a jiao-dragon that was standing on the surface of a river. The voices of the two monsters completely engulfed the sound of thunder from the sky.

A roar followed by another roar. It was like in this world, only the two existed.

When the scene changed again, Wen Ping even saw himself standing on the head of the jiao-dragon. He rode it to roam freely across rivers, commanding the ferocious tides. The relationship between them was like that of kins, and they depended on each other until the rivers dried up.

…

The next morning, when the dawn just broke…

Wen Ping stood up from the side of the deep pool. A look of excitement appeared on his face while he was heading toward the Rain-Listening Pavilion.

A training speed of close to 100x was extremely terrifying!

A single night actually allowed him to raise his mastery to the entry-level in the Jiao-Dragon Rage.
