Three Hours Passed;
Oak opened his eyes with a strong brilliance in them. His body no longer looked the same.
His skin had a strong bronze luster around it. He could feel the metal all over his body.
More importantly, the process of the golden Skeleton merging with his body had also finished.
The end also brought him two more surprises. The first one was passive while the second one was active. And, the active was much more important.
Because it was a technique.
[Golden Blazing Sun Scripture]
A strong technique that would help him comprehend the power of the sun.
This was extremely important because the sun was a star. While people of this world might treat them differently, stars have similar properties to the sun.
In other words, with this technique, he could complete one-third of his Star Dragon Domination Technique.
More importantly, he gained this technique through an inheritance. It had simply been stored in his brain so he could use it whenever he wanted.
And, he also knew every single detail of this technique, even if he didn't practice it.
But this made him stuck.
Golden Blazing Sun Scripture was an Epic Rank Advanced Grade Technique.
This technique was so strong that he couldn't find a way to merge it with his Star Dragon Domination Technique.
If he practiced with the instruction of this technique, it would no longer be the Star Dragon Domination Technique.
But if he didn't, he would miss out on such a powerful technique.
Suddenly, he realized something.
'Wait a minute! Why do I need to worry about that? I am going to modify Star Dragon Domination Technique based on this technique.'
'So, once I practice this technique, I will be comfortable and knowledgeable to do that. So, why not?'
As soon as he thought that, he closed his eyes and entered the state of meditation where he opened his Sixth Sense.
Then, he began to extract the Internal Strength.
Since his Internal Strength was influenced by the essence of his Golden Skeleton, it had some of its characteristics.
That meant he could easily transfer his technique from Bronze Body Technique to Golden Blazing Sun Scripture.
This also made him realize that if he didn't have a matching technique, he shouldn't practice it; otherwise, it could collide with his progress.
The extracted Internal Strength had a strong heat and power to it. He quickly realized that it was the Yang Force.
Just like his Star Dragon Domination Technique, Golden Blazing Sun Scripture could also produce Yang Force, but it was much more intense.
He knew this because while practicing the Bronze Body Technique, he also practiced the Star Dragon Domination Technique.
But unlike with these two techniques, the Bronze Body Technique would immediately suppress his Yang Force and disperse it before he could transform his essence into Yang Essence.
This was the true domination of Common Rank Intermediate Grade Technique over Basic Grade.
While forming the second coil, he kept merging some of the Internal Strength produced by his newly strengthened cells with the first coil.
It would not only make it closer to the Yang Force but also help it transform over time.
This process would take some time since he had already formed a coil, and it wouldn't be exhausted until he fought someone.
But he couldn't even leave this cave.
Until he reached the Second Rank, he didn't dare to leave this cave.
He had already taken some fasting pills, so until he reached the Second Rank, he wouldn't have to worry about food.
This time, he had to form two more coils. The good thing was that each part would take around fifteen minutes, which would be ninety minutes in total.
Two coils meant one hundred and eighty minutes.
That's a total of three hours!
Considering the several hours that had passed before, he seemed to have stayed here for almost two days.
More importantly, he also had to practice the Golden Blazing Sun Scripture. This whole technique was divided into six layers.
Each layer represented a stage similar to the Bronze Body Technique.
The First Layer was called 'Strong Yang'.
In this stage, he could make his internal strength as fierce as fire and as tough as a monster.
By perfecting the First Layer, he could obtain the strength of Five Thousand Pounds while using his Internal Strength.
That was Five Thousand Pounds added to his current two thousand five hundred pounds.
Originally, it was only supposed to be two thousand pounds, but five hundred was later added due to strengthening his cells with the essence of the Golden Skeleton.
The skeleton itself represented another kind of power, a passive ability known as Physique.
Physique was a new term for him, and he didn't know much about it.
But he had just inherited the physique and couldn't utilize it, so he didn't know what benefit it brought to him.
Of course, he did know its meaning and its importance for a cultivator from his previous life's knowledge.
Physique should be a talent that few people in the world have inherited. The Physique should give him some kind of power in the future.
He couldn't concentrate on it because he had to find more information about it. The only information he got was the name.
[True Yang Body]
It was a physique related to Yang Force, but he didn't know much of it was useful for his technique.
But it didn't take him long to figure out. Because his body began to react with the second coil.
The moment his second coil was formed, his body trembled and released a strange energy into the coils.
The moment it transmitted this energy, the coil became fiery and hot. He could feel the heat through meridians.
Fortunately, his body was strengthened alongside his meridians, so they didn't get broken.
This change didn't stop his cultivation.
He continued to extract the Internal Strength for the second time in a row.
Something surprising happened.
When he extracted Internal Strength for the first time, although he didn't feel hollowed or pain, he did feel some level of weakness in his cells.
That was the result of the extraction.
But this time, he didn't feel anything. It took him quite a long time to finish the extraction, but even after that, he didn't feel much.
He quickly realized something.
Since new blood was produced by bone marrow every second, he didn't realize it before, but now that he was concentrating on it, he felt a huge difference.
Every time his bone marrow released new blood, it would be stronger than before.
This process stunned him.
Only at this moment did he realize the true power of True Yang Body.
It would passively increase his strength.
If this were true with every physique, he couldn't imagine how strong those who had a natural physique would be.
Because he received this physique after merging with the skeleton.
'Just the fact that I am reaching the second rank within a day puts me above most of the geniuses of Red Stone City.'
'But other people had this kind of physique from birth, I can't even imagine how high their strength would be.'
'No, it shouldn't keep growing like this. If that were the case, the person would be invincible. There should be a limit.'
'It's like that after reaching a certain point, my blood would have no such effect.'
'If that's the case, I need to take advantage of this and start with my Star Dragon Domination Technique.'
As he thought about it, he began to utilize the incantation of the Golden Blazing Sun Scripture.
He wasn't lacking the incantation for the martial spirit, but he was indeed lacking individual incantation for specific ability.
With the Bronze Body Technique, it was the incantation to create Bronze Essence. This required comprehension, and comprehension required the incantation.
Because incantations were like rules in a coding language. Only after following those codes could one write a certain program.
The idea for the program required creativity and knowledge about a certain program. That imagination was comparable to the comprehension in this world.
Without proper imagination, one could create an outline but not a program.
Oak knew this, and that's why he was able to convert the incantations of two different techniques into one singular incantation that would produce Yang Force Essence.
But there was also a level to the essence.
His Yang Force essence was instantly suppressed by the Bronze essence because he hadn't comprehended the core of the Yang Force.
Just like how a software wouldn't function properly if different codes were missing in the software.
Right now, he was finding these codes, or rather comprehending the True Yang Force.
The power of a monster and the heat of fire.
He did have both, but he was missing something.
The Vitality!
His Yang Force didn't have any vitality. It also made him realize why his True Yang Body could improve his strength.
It was channeling vitality into his cells, improving their life force every single second.
