âThese are images of two powerful prehistoric beings. Both of them were so strong that they had taken
over an entire era by themselves,â Mystic Maiden reminded.
âYour current skills wonât allow you to use imagery for long periods of time. If you can no longer bear it,
you can rest instead. Youâd be able to increase your time slowly.â
At first, Alex could feel his eyes growing tired, but he realized that the sword heart within him was
reacting to something.
His eyes flashed with silver light, releasing the soreness in an instant. He continued to look over the
dragon image bit by bit, scanning every single detail as though worried he might miss something.
Seeing that he had been using his internal vision for quite some time, Mystic Maiden reminded him not
to push himself too hard. She even mentioned that one would need at least two years to see the image
clearly. However, she was extremely surprised when Alex started training in the Dragon-Tusk Punch, all
while looking at the dragon imagery.
A real dragon-shaped phantom appeared behind him. Surreal, it was the exact same dragon in the
imagery.
âYouâre done?â
âHah. This little minion has pretty good potential!â
Alex himself sensed it as well. His current Dragon-Tusk Punch, especially the dragon part, had greatly
improved. His existing punches actually made him feel like he was an actual battle dragon, his strength
having even increased eightfold.
After that, he started looking into the elephant image. The elephant was utterly different from what
people typically saw in zoos. This was an ancient battle elephant from prehistoric times. Not only did it
have long tusks, it even had horns that made it look savage. More than obvious, its attacks would be
heavy and hard. One stomp was almost enough to shatter an entire planet.
In the end, he merged both the powers of a dragon and an elephant together.
Ashe punched the ground, his organs released all their power, causing his body to burst with a golden
radiant light as he punched a giant pit outâ¦
One should know that the floor was rather tough, and it was being supported by a formation. The divine
lightning of Kalpa could only make a small hole when struck down.
Even then, his fists managed to make such a large pit. He was currently sixteen times stronger than
before when it came to hand-to-hand combat.
He could even sense that his body was becoming purer than before. His defense had increased after
achieving the Invincible Steel stage; his flesh was currently five times sturdier than before, and all his
pressure points felt as if they were being flushed, expanding one after the other.
This time, they werenât being opened up one by one. They were expanding the entire vein altogether.
Each vein had several pressure points, some even htmdreds. Hence, they could fit another few golden
cores in them.
As if his body was experiencing the big bang, the hidden pressure points in his body merged into newly
formed stars, bursting with life as they brimmed with obscene amounts of energy within them.
He knew that this was a rare chance since the hidden potential of oneâs body after reaching a certain
level of strength could be opened up. He couldnât afford to miss this opportunity. Alex then took out all
the Stardew fruit and the Golden Pear, along with the heavenly law fruit. After that, he shoved all of
them into his mouth one by one.
Not only was Pigsy shocked to see this, but Mystic Maiden froze up as well.
âWouldnât one explode from eating this much?â
In reality, he wouldnât. That was because all the golden cores in Alexâs body were invigorating, forming
a furnace of forbidden spells as a base for him. Hence, he wasnât scared of exploding at all.
He counted in his head. âI already opened 101 pressure points in the beginning, but now itâs up to 460
or so⦠The whole vein just opens up way too quickly.â
As his power continued to grow, he started to feel anxious.
âI wouldnât have to deal with all three thousand at once, right?â
In actuality, it stopped at the 499th one, and he couldnât open up anymore. However, he suddenly found
a well-hidden marking within his body.
âHoly f* ck!â
âWho the hell marked me down? That old peacock? No wait, sheâs dead, though.â
âIâd really like to see who on earth gave me this marking.â
