Dual Cultivation God Returns-Chapter 812: His New Strength

"However, if you find yourself stuck again, and don't think I can help, you can ask Ye'er for advice", he then added with a smile, his Spiritual Qi and Soul Power already reaching into the Shadow Crescent to erase Lord Muo's mark on it and imprint his own.

Her eyes widened again.

'As I thought...', went through her mind next as her expression relaxed. She had a vague feeling her twin knew and understood what she was struggling with. And now, Wu Long's words confirmed it.

It was shocking, but for some reason comforting as well. It meant that Hong Ye had an answer. It might not be Hong Yue's answer, but achieving one was possible.

In truth, Wu Long wasn't that worried about Hong Yue's problem, since all of his beauties who led far more peaceful lives were able to somehow arrive at their answers. After all, this was a world where this answer was necessary for most to survive. It was just too much of a shock for Hong Yue to realize she was doing things that those with an answer did, without having that answer yet, which caused such a reaction.

Wu Long finished claiming the Shadow Crescent, and removed it into his Spatial Ring. Instead he took out the Iron Leaf as he didn't have time to properly wipe the blade and sheathe it before.

He took out a cloth, swiping the blade on the surface, as well as inspecting the damage, which was quite severe.

The blade itself was intact, but its inner Spiritual Qi conducting circuit was almost entirely fried.

It was the nervous system of a Spiritual Treasure through which a cultivator was able to channel not only Spiritual Qi, but weapon techniques.

However, he used a Bahshi Ghost Master level technique meant for someone in Five Origin Realms. Of course, he was not able to, nor did he need to properly execute the technique with his current cultivation, it was just a shadow of what the technique's true power was. But even that was too much strain on a 1st-tier Profound Grade weapon.

Not to mention the amount of Spiritual Qi he burned through in order to compensate for his insufficient cultivation, which intensified the damage on the circuit.

The Blue Moon Spider Dagger was better off, because it's circuit was very crude and simple, not allowing for intricate flow of Qi, but quite robust, since it was Wu Long who made it. And the technique he used was of the Bahshi Ghost Elder level, a Seven Profound Realms level technique which, though higher than what a 1st-tier treasure should be handling, was still far closer.

He then took out the Iron Leaf's sheathe and hid the blade, stashing the sword back into his Spatial Ring.

The doors to the hall suddenly burst open at this moment.

"Oh?! If it isn't our Supremely Handsome Young Master?!", Wu Mengqi exclaimed with a wide grin, causing Wu Long to freeze.

"You're going to get Mr. Kwon killed", Shen Min noted without much concern in her voice, almost just stating a fact.

"Why? I think it is a fitting title?" Gong Cui asked with genuine confusion, since she really thought the small temporarily business the guilty trio operated was very well named.

"Ri~ght?!", Wu Mengqi's grin became even wider as she slightly tilted her body toward Gong Cui.

"Yeah!", the latter, feeling the support and camaraderie on this issue also upped her enthusiasm.

"I do believe it is an apt title, if we are being honest", unexpectedly, the two had another supported in Xue Bing, who spoke in a serene tone.

Wu Long wryly smiled, shaking his head and coming to greet his beauties.

"Hehe, did you enjoy your secret date with Darling, Sister Yue?", meanwhile Hong Ye stepped out of a cloud of black smoke right beside her twin with a look of amusement and mischief.

"It wasn't a date Ye'er", Hong Yue flatly rejected.

"Hahaha, oh my, oh my, is that so? But seriously, did you really believe I wouldn't notice you sneaking away somewhere with Darling?", Hong Ye chuckled.

"Haa", Hong Yue covered her face with her hand, realizing it really was naive of her to think Hong Ye wasn't going to notice.

"Now, I need to go get a kiss from Darling, so I'll leave for now, but you'll have to tell me everything later", Hong Ye smiled, turning to join the beauties around Wu Long.

Hong Yue shook her head at that, and yet, this time as she watched her twin go up to Wu Long and receive a hug, and a kiss, she suddenly remembered what his embrace felt like, a light rosiness appearing on her cheeks as she quickly turned to look away with a spooked look in her eyes.

"Now we just need to wait for Qian, Old Yen, and Guanting to finish up on their end", Wu Long concluded as he finished greeting his beauties, since the three were on a mission of claiming the nobleman's assets from his warehouse with the help of Lu Mang.

In truth, Wu Long wasn't sure he would get all ten of Lord Muo's subordinates in time before they managed to flee, so he called Ye Ling to intercept them in case they fled his capture, since she and Fen Baihu were the only two who were up to the challenge against them.

After all, his formations were meant to hold back the smaller fry, not the ten who varied from 7th up to 9th level of Essence Gathering Realm.

And he did not have the opportunity, nor the ability to trap them inside the hall under Lord Muo's nose, because even with his level of stealth, he had to be quite careful in front of someone with such wide difference in their cultivation realms.

Not to mention, he was busy readying the Bahshi techniques, which took some time.

However, the Corrupt Path cultivator was the absolute strongest being he had slain up till now with the Tyrant Core activated, so the boost he received from the Slaughter Qi after killing him was off the charts, allowing him to finish all ten in one fell swoop.

"I still can't believe you killed a 3rd-level Essence Ignition Realm expert...", Ye Ling shook her head in astonishment.

She could understand if it was someone in the gate of the Essence Ignition Realm, as that, both her and Wu Long could pull off, but this, was completely different.

"I used a surprise attack with assassination technique", he smiled, not shy to admit he would have a hard time if he had to fight Lord Muo head on, though it was not completely impossible either.

"To be honest, I thought you were one of the people who would look down on using such methods", Hong Yue commented from the side, as she knew many cultivators who looked down on assassins for being cowardly.

"Do I look like an idiot?", Wu Long asked with a chuckle, adding "Why would I let go of an opportunity if I have one? If something is useful, I will use it. Assassins don't seek glory or beauty in battle, they seek results. I happen to share that sentiment when it comes to dealing with enemies to kill, in absolute majority of cases, it doesn't really matter to me how those I seek to kill die"

"It still doesn't mean it is easy to assassinate someone like that either", Ye Ling added.

"That's right, how are you so much stronger now than just a bit ago?", Cao Mei asked with a curious look.

She clearly remembered that he somewhat struggled against the leader of the Seven Scars Guild who was in just 5th-level Essence Gathering Realm, even if the latter had the shields to fend him off that Wu Long did not wish to destroy.

But he not only was able to shut down the pirate who had that same cultivation and consumed a Blood Ignition Pill, but completely overwhelmed Lu Mang who was in 7th-level Essence Gathering Realm, and pull all of this off as well.

Wu Long smiled, adding "Well, I recovered my Supreme Cultivation Techniques after the fight with the Seven Scars Guild, remember? But as I did, I discovered something quite peculiar. Before, when both the Slaughter God's Tyrant Vortex Art and the Sublime Heavenly Sequence were housed in one core, while I could practice both technique, I could not mix them, so I stacked the effect"

"Stacked... you mean you used two techniques simultaneously to add the edge to your strength?", Nie Xiwang asked, receiving a nod from Wu Long.

"Suppose I produce an output of 2 of normal Spiritual Qi, then I split them, passing 1 through the Slaughter God's Tyrant Vortex Art, receiving 3 at the end, and passing the other 1 through the Sublime Heavenly Sequence, receiving 2 at the end, and then I use both in whatever battle technique. But since the synergy can only be arranged with some losses between the two, the final output I get is not 5 but 4", Wu Long further explained.

The beauties nodded, as Nie Xiwang was whispering something into Gong Cui's ear, the latter nodding along with excited eyes.

"Now, however, when I have separate cores, I can pass 2 through the Tyrant Core, receiving 6, though now its actually more since I just massively raised the strength of the Tyrant Core, but let's take even the old multiplier of 3, getting 6, I then pass that 6 through the Sublime Core, receiving 12 without any losses", Wu Long shrugged, causing shock to appear on the faces of the beauties.

He then added, "Of course, Sublime Qi is not fit for all uses like Tyrant Qi, so the division is slightly different, but you get the idea", he chuckled, and then added onto that, "As for after arriving in this City, by then I have refined the injuries from fighting the pirate leader, improving my body tempering and thus allowing me to use much more power of the Lightning Qi and Water Qi within my body, as well as my own body tempering technique's output, massively raising my physical power, not to mention I advanced two Minor Realms during our journey, remember?"

The faces of his ladies reddened, some more than others.

Meanwhile, he continued, "Adding to that, as a result of my sudden enlightenment, I rediscovered the strength of the Sound Rune, which I now use not only along with Wind Qi around my body to further increase my speed, adding imperceptible shockwaves to propel my every motion, but also can use directly in attacking and defending. And last but not least, as we were meditating on bloodlines, I was able to access both the Celestial Fox and Great Void Eagle bloodlines to an extent, which for now greatly enhanced my physique, but I should be able to obtain further benefits from that"

As he finished explaining, what they understood, was that the current Wu Long was basically at a whole another level from when he fought the Seven Scars Guild leader just a few months ago, all that with only a relatively minor advance in his cultivation.
