Self-Created Combat Skill: Golden Dragon Blitz**
Time flowed like mountains and rivers, vast yet fleeting.
In the blink of an eye, more than three months had passed since Yuhao arrived at the Noumenon Sect.
During these three months, Yuhao had stayed atop Yunlan Peak almost every single day. Apart from Du BuShu and the poisonous elders of the Noumenon Sect, he hardly came into contact with anyone else.
At the same time, throughout this period, Yuhao underwent extremely harsh and almost cruel training. Every day, by the time the training ended, he would be completely exhausted, his body trembling, unable to lift even a single finger.
However, the medicinal meals specially prepared for Yuhao by the Noumenon Sect worked wonders. No matter how severe the fatigue was, after one night of rest, he would wake up the next day full of vitality, his qi and blood surging, his condition restored to its peak.
Although his life during these three months was extremely bitter, Yuhao's gains were correspondingly enormous.
First was the Noumenon Sect's unique secret technique, "Unity of Man and Nature." Yuhao had already mastered it to a very high level. He could now freely coordinate the three great powers within his body—soul power, spiritual power, and qi and blood—and then further merge them with the surrounding natural environment.
What was even more astonishing was that Yuhao had made improvements and innovations based on this technique, forming his own understanding and usage method, which left even Du BuShu deeply impressed and full of praise.
Next was the strengthening of Yuhao's physical body and qi and blood. Every day, most of his training time was devoted to tempering his flesh, bones, and blood essence. Coupled with the massive intake of high-grade medicinal food, his physical strength and qi-blood foundation increased at an astonishing rate.
At this point, even if Yuhao no longer deliberately suppressed it, he already possessed the conditions to forcibly break through the third seal of the Golden Dragon King.
The final aspect was the improvement of his soul power.
Just yesterday, Yuhao's soul power finally broke through the bottleneck and reached Rank 30, officially qualifying him to absorb his third soul ring.
In fact, if Yuhao had not deliberately suppressed his cultivation speed, he would have reached Rank 30 long ago.
However, for the sake of laying a more perfect foundation for his future path, Yuhao chose patience rather than haste.
Even so, his cultivation speed was still far beyond that of ordinary soul masters.
...
At this moment, atop Yunlan Peak, two figures—one large and one small—were engaged in an intense battle.
They were none other than Du BuShu and Yuhao.
Yuhao's upper body was almost entirely covered with dense golden dragon scales, faintly glowing under the sunlight. Both of his arms had transformed into massive dragon claws, sharp and powerful. Behind him, a pair of Golden Dragon Wings spread wide, shimmering brilliantly as the power of the Golden Dragon King flowed through them. Each flap of the wings explosively increased Yuhao's speed.
On the opposite side, Du BuShu still had not released his martial soul, nor had any soul rings appeared beneath his feet. He relied purely on his physical body and soul power to contend against Yuhao.
Although Du BuShu appeared relaxed, strolling casually through the air as if admiring the rolling clouds, deep down he was extremely cautious.
Every single attack launched by Yuhao was treated seriously.
Of course, this was not because Yuhao already possessed the strength to confront Du BuShu head-on. Rather, Du BuShu himself had not released his martial soul nor gone all out.
Still, if he was careless, there was a real possibility that he could be forced into embarrassment by Yuhao.
As a teacher, how could he allow such a thing to happen?
At the same time, this also clearly proved how terrifying Yuhao's current combat strength had become.
"So this is the ultimate-power Golden Dragon Spirit… truly formidable. Combined with the Golden Dragon Wings, his speed has already reached the realm of extreme speed. With the blessing of two ultimate attributes, even without additional soul rings, he can display such terrifying combat power."
Du BuShu was secretly shocked, marveling inwardly at Yuhao's battle prowess.
What he did not know was that Yuhao's martial spirit was not merely a Golden Dragon martial spirit, but the far more terrifying Golden Dragon King Bloodline Martial Spirit, possessing ultimate strength, extreme speed, and the foundation of the Dragon God's body.
The two were simply not on the same level.
Even the combat power Yuhao was displaying right now was far from the true limits of the Golden Dragon King bloodline.
One very simple reason was that Yuhao had never once used the soul skills from his two golden bloodline soul rings. He had deliberately kept them hidden.
The reason was simple: the existence of the Golden Dragon King was even more unbelievable and dangerous than the Three Lives Martial Spirit.
Just as the two were fighting fiercely, Yuhao suddenly retreated two steps instead of following through with his punch.
Seeing this, Du BuShu's pupils contracted slightly. Over the past three months, the master and disciple had exchanged blows countless times.
He instantly understood that Yuhao was not retreating—but accumulating power for his next strike.
This meant that Yuhao's upcoming attack would definitely be extraordinary.
Sure enough, Yuhao spoke calmly:
"Teacher, this is my self-created combat skill—Golden Dragon Blitz. Please guide me!"
The moment his words fell, an overwhelming surge of power erupted from Yuhao's body.
Sensing this aura, Du BuShu's eyelids twitched violently.
"This is… qi and blood power!"
The Noumenon Sect had conducted extensive research into qi and blood, even creating many combat techniques based upon it.
As Yuhao's teacher, Du BuShu had naturally instructed him on how to guide and utilize qi and blood.
That guidance had opened an entirely new door for Yuhao.
After all, empowered by the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, Yuhao's qi and blood strength was even more formidable than his soul power and spiritual power.
He simply had not found the correct method of application before.
Boom!
The surging qi and blood roared into the sky, emitting a sound faintly resembling a dragon's roar. It rapidly condensed into a blood-colored dragon shadow, wrapping around Yuhao's dragon claws like an enormous translucent gauntlet.
"Teacher, here I come!"
Yuhao shouted loudly, charging forward. His body stretched like a fully drawn bow before his punch exploded outward.
Because of the extreme speed, the blood-colored dragon shadow rose and fell violently, resembling a true five-clawed dragon opening its bloody maw as it lunged toward Du BuShu.
Just the momentum of this punch alone made Du BuShu feel a trace of shock. However, there was no panic on his face—only relief.
"Good boy, then come!"
Du BuShu extended his palm and directly grasped Yuhao's punch with his bare hand.
If one looked closely, a faint green light flickered across his palm.
Boom!
Yuhao's punch collided with Du BuShu's palm, unleashing a deafening explosion. Violent qi and blood surged outward, finally causing Du BuShu's expression to change slightly.
"So much strength."
As he spoke, the poisonous palm instantly expanded to ten times its original size, becoming even larger than his entire body.
Faced with Yuhao's strike, Du BuShu finally displayed a trace of true skill.
Even though Yuhao's self-created combat skill Golden Dragon Blitz already rivaled a ten-thousand-year soul skill, it was still unable to advance any further against the massive poisonous palm.
Gradually, the qi and blood dissipated, revealing Yuhao's original golden dragon claws.
"Yuhao, your self-created combat skill 'Golden Dragon Blitz' is indeed extraordinary, enough to—"
Just as Du BuShu was about to comment, Yuhao's shoulders suddenly sank, and another surge of qi and blood, no weaker than before, erupted once more.
"Golden Dragon Blitz · Second Layer!"
Roar!
Accompanied by a thunderous dragon roar, the qi and blood once again transformed into a blood-colored dragon shadow, wrapping tightly around Yuhao's claws and smashing toward the poisonous palm.
Caught off guard, Du BuShu was forced backward several steps by the overwhelming force.
After stabilizing himself, Du BuShu lifted his head, disbelief written all over his face.
"Yuhao… you can activate such a powerful combat skill twice in such a short time?"
The power of Golden Dragon Blitz alone was already worthy of admiration. He never expected Yuhao to unleash it consecutively.
Yuhao smiled faintly.
"Teacher, if I only had the strength for one strike, I wouldn't dare to embarrass myself today."
He was extremely satisfied that his self-created combat skill had forced Du BuShu to retreat three or four steps.
After all, the gap in soul power between them was like an unbridgeable chasm.
Hearing this, Du BuShu shook his head helplessly, clicking his tongue.
"It seems I still underestimated you."
After three months of day-and-night interaction, Du BuShu was well aware of Yuhao's growth, yet he never imagined that beyond his explosive foundational strength, Yuhao could also create such an astonishing combat skill.
But recalling Yuhao's bold declaration three months ago, Du BuShu felt a sense of relief.
Yes.
This kid aims to become a god.
In that case, creating his own combat skills… was only the beginning.
