CHAPTER 871: CHAPTER 871 FUSION OF THE TEN DRAGON FORMATION

Sikong Jing’s first answer left Chou Zhan somewhat puzzled, but he didn’t dwell on it.

He was already considering the second question, and soon shared his personal feelings with Sikong Jing, who nodded repeatedly before asking Chou Zhan to return the Green Jade Tube.

Under the puzzled gazes of Chou Zhan, Gongyang Ying, and the others, Sikong Jing began inscribing.

Half a moment later, the inscribing was complete.

Sikong Jing handed the Green Jade Tube back to Chou Zhan, who, still puzzled, used his mind to probe it again. This time, Chou Zhan experienced a powerful tremor throughout his body, once again entering a cultivation state.

Boom...

Another quarter of an hour passed, and Chou Zhan broke through another small realm, reaching the middle stage of the Golden Body Second Realm.

He opened his eyes and stared blankly at Sikong Jing, then stood up and deeply remarked, "Brother Sikong, you’re truly talented! You can modify and perfect Universe Grade cultivation techniques, even tailoring them for me. I am impressed, Chou admires you."

This moment was rare for Chou Zhan to say so much.

Meanwhile, Nan Xiu was completely dumbfounded.

Sikong Jing had dared to modify a Universe Grade cultivation technique, which was the War Artifact Extreme level in the Central Plains. His understanding of martial arts seemed terrifying, and Chou Zhan’s breakthrough was no illusion.

The inscribing Sikong Jing just did was also no illusion.

In response, Sikong Jing shook his head.

He spoke deeply, "Brother Chou, you overpraise me. I can’t easily modify other people’s cultivation techniques... It’s mainly because this technique was created by me, which is why I could modify and enhance it. I’m not that formidable."

Upon hearing these words, Nan Xiu’s eyes widened, and Gongyang Ying’s whole face turned fierce.

Chou Zhan’s usual cold expression was also moved, his mouth agape wide enough to swallow three eggs...

Finally, in his heart, Nan Xiu shouted: You’re not that formidable? Are you kidding!

Creating a cultivation technique is much harder than modifying someone else’s, right? Do you even understand?

Nan Xiu’s heart was furious. Sikong Jing was too good at putting on airs.

But indeed, for Sikong Jing, creating a cultivation technique was much easier than modifying someone else’s technique, because he had the demon beasts’ meridians for reference.

Subsequently, under Chou Zhan’s repeated confirmation, all three eventually affirmed that the technique was indeed created by Sikong Jing.

Moreover, it was created on the spot, solely to stimulate Chou Zhan’s Golden Sword Battle Body.

"I haven’t had time to name the technique yet, but it’s mainly inspired by the Golden Sword Cloud Dragon from the Martial Battle Realm, so I’d like Brother Chou to give it a name," Sikong Jing explained further.

At this moment, Chou Zhan was in turmoil, and finally took a deep breath: "Let’s call it Golden Sword Skill."

Beside them, Gongyang Ying opened her mouth, noting that Chou Zhan’s naming ability was a bit poor.

Unable to help herself, she interjected: "Brother Chou, calling it Golden Sword Skill is too simple. The name should sound better. I think referring to the Golden Sword Cloud Dragon, how about ’Golden Sword Cloud Ascension Technique’?"

Blinking, Chou Zhan nonchalantly nodded: "We’ll go with Miss Gongyang’s suggestion."

Thus, the name for Chou Zhan’s new cultivation method was decided.

Meanwhile, Nan Xiu stood nearby, feeling a bit out of place among the trio, and remarked, "Hey, are you guys really that familiar? Why do your interactions sound so formal?"

Brother Chou, Brother Sikong, Miss Gongyang... It all sounds as if they’ve just met.

In reality, the three were indeed not very acquainted. Sikong Jing and Gongyang Ying were quite familiar, but they had only recently reconciled their differences.

Upon hearing this, the trio couldn’t help but exchange a few glances...

At that moment, Sikong Jing casually cupped his fists and said, "Brother Chou, Sister Gongyang."

Chou Zhan was already well-known in the East Plain Northern Land, and he was a few years older than Sikong Jing.

Therefore, Sikong Jing had no hesitation in calling him Brother Chou, as for Gongyang Ying... Sikong Jing didn’t care which month she was born in, so he called her sister.

Hearing this, Chou Zhan shuddered again and heavily cupped his fists: "Brother Jing, Sister Gongyang."

Gongyang Ying opened her mouth, then puffed her cheeks and pointed at Sikong Jing, calling out, "We’re the same age, why should I be the sister? I was born early in the year, so I’m definitely the elder sister."

Saying this, Gongyang Ying puffed out her chest, imagining being able to pat Sikong Jing’s head and call him little brother, feeling quite excited.

"I was also born early in the year."

Sikong Jing was unaware of Gongyang Ying’s peculiar hobby. Seeing her wanting to compete, he could only chuckle and reveal his birth month, hiding his true nature wasn’t his style.

However, Gongyang Ying was dumbfounded to hear that they were born in the same month and then revealed their birthdates.

They were born on the same year, month, and day.

Gongyang Ying was left with her mouth wide open, looking troubled.

Chou Zhan watched the two and smiled bitterly: "How about you simply use each other’s names?"

Hearing this, Sikong Jing casually said, "Ah Yin."

Gongyang Ying shivered violently; such a familiar address was only used by her elders, and it felt strange.

Finally, Gongyang Ying opened her mouth: "Ah, Ah... Ah ah ah, I’ll call you Brother Sikong Jing then, that’s a good deal."

For some reason, she just couldn’t bring herself to say Ajing.

Adding "Brother" after the name felt much more comfortable.

Perhaps it was Sikong Jing’s unique charm, or maybe it was because he had saved her, or maybe it was the desire for a protective figure in this terrifying world...

However, Gongyang Ying added, "I was born in the final hour of that day, I should be younger."

Pausing for a moment, Gongyang Ying’s face turned even redder.

Looking at Sikong Jing, she said again, "Besides, don’t call me Ah Yin, it sounds weird to me, just stick with Sister Gongyang."

Sikong Jing looked at Gongyang Ying’s flushed face and smiled, nodding, "Okay, Ah Yin!"

Her mouth agape, Gongyang Ying protested angrily, "I told you to call me Sister Gongyang."

"No problem, Ah Yin!"

With those words, Sikong Jing couldn’t help but laugh, feeling an urge to tease her for some unknown reason.

Shaking his head, Sikong Jing finally remarked, "I’ll go find a discreet location for us to cultivate quietly for a few days."

Saying this, he turned and walked away.

Gongyang Ying glared at his departing figure, her tense face blushing, then inexplicably smiled sweetly.

Beside them, Nan Xiu glanced around, wishing he could slap himself—why did he bring up that they weren’t very familiar? Now I’m really the outsider here.

After an hour, Sikong Jing found a quiet place, right under the rocks not far from the previous cave group.

The four stayed here, quietly cultivating.

Chou Zhan needed to rest due to his injuries, and the Golden Sword Cloud Ascension Technique required thorough integration and consolidation.

Gongyang Ying was still at a weaker realm. She needed to see if she could break through again with the Moon Swallowing Storm Blade, a technique Hua Meixi gave her before the battle, perfectly matched the Moon Soul Battle Body.

As for Nan Xiu, he had now fully understood Sikong Jing’s terrifying martial arts comprehension.

So he asked several questions regarding martial arts, and Sikong Jing patiently explained them, allowing him to enter a cultivation state.

Sikong Jing himself took a deep breath: "Beast Skill Shadow Moon isn’t urgent, I should now fuse the ten dragon meridians."

When he had thoroughly comprehended the ten Martial Battle Realm demon dragons, he discovered that the ten dragon formation on the Devouring Spirit Dragon Ball wasn’t randomly arranged, but rather consisted of demon dragons whose attributes complemented each other.

Thus the Devouring Blood Dragon Pearl’s attack skill: Ten Dragon Formation was born!

Now, Sikong Jing prepares to take it a step further, fusing the ten demon dragon meridians in the Ten Dragon Formation, thereby creating his first spiritual-grade beast skill.
