Chapter 1655 Wyverns
As a male, it was his duty to protect his females, but this particular mate was quite rowdy. She hated it when he interfered in her fights, so he planned to check on the situation after letting some time pass. At least then she couldn't blame him.
But, when he came here, though he smelt the scent of his woman, she was nowhere to be seen. To make matters worse, their children were gone.
He had been especially monitoring this litter because he couldn't allow any males to grow up. Considering how rowdy their mother was, if she birthed a son, he would definitely challenge his authority. So, he was lying in wait. If they were females, everything would be okay. But if they were males, they would be his next meal.
To his surprise, there really was a male here. But, this male didn't smell like one of his children. Plus, he was walking out of that hole that mate of his never let him poke around.
It didn't matter to him, though. Another male in his territory? And in his mate's den, no less? He would rip him apart, then question that woman for daring to think that having another man was an option for her.
These were all the thoughts of the male wyvern before he suddenly found himself shooting backward at blinding speeds, his body spinning and whirling in the air.
Dyon looked down at his hand, a hand responsible for sending a 15 meter long wyvern flying with absolute ease.
'It's definitely much more difficult to control...'
The shocking part was that Dyon knew he could bring out more power, if only he had more control. Unfortunately, he was forced to place an artificial restriction on himself so that he didn't accidentally inflict himself with irreparable injury.
Dyon made a note to himself to only use qi manipulation techniques he had mastered to the One with Self realm.
[Whirl] and [Spiral] both fell under this category, both being Peak Common Grade qi manipulation techniques. [Whirl] was a qi focusing technique that allowed one to output a massive amount of energy into a tight central point. [Spiral] increased the force of qi output by utilizing centripetal force. Together, it led to quite a formidable result. But, it truly tested Dyon's upper limits of concentration.
However, this was yet another advantage Dyon had in this world. But, this advantage wasn't due to himself.
Because his main body was currently in Calming Lake, he could simply devour the streams of consciousnesses around himself in order to replenish his mental energy. Essentially... he could train his qi control without limit, as long as his soul stamina held up, that is.
BOOM!
The wyvern's massive black-blue scaled body flew from the caves mouth and crashed into the mountain range. Because the materials of the Ancient Battlefield were so sturdy, the male wyvern's inner organs shook violently, causing it to cough up buckets of violet blood.
Dyon stepped out of the cage and into the air, light green wind will whipping around him at blinding speeds. If he could send such a large wyvern flying, sustaining his flight for a small moment wasn't much of a problem for him at all.
The loud crash would no doubt alert the other beasts of this mountain range, but Dyon was no longer afraid. Though he wouldn't claim to be able to defeat every beast in this mountain range alone, he was certain there no longer existed one here that could threaten his life – not at this depth, anyway.
Since that was the case, he might as well form a legion of wyverns.
His goals had changed. Before, conquering a single Region in a 2 year span was enough for him. But with his new discoveries, he wouldn't be satisfied even if he conquered 10 in that same span.
The male wyvern's roar shook the mountain range. It pushed off, leaping up toward Dyon at terrifying speed.
Unfortunately for it, Dyon's spatial will flickered, sending him clear of the enraged wyvern.
His palm shot forward again.
A brilliant crystalline formation appeared, glittering beautifully directly in the wyvern's path. Since flight was impossible in this world – well, almost impossible considering Dyon's current feat – the wyvern had no chance to change directions.
'Let's try this...'
Bold type qi awakened within Dyon's body. In that instant, atmospheric qi responded to Dyon's call, bending under his Presence and bowing to his will.
The wyvern slammed into the wall of crystal, its sorry figure reflecting backward even faster than it came.
'So that works too, interesting...'
Just now, Dyon had utilized his Silver Mirror Constitution in conjunction with bold type qi and his crystal will to reflect the wyvern's own leaping ability against itself. Bold type qi was able to give his silver mirror constitution an inconceivable boost in ability while crystal will was able to amplify things to the extreme. The result was something that made even Dyon feel bad for the wyvern who was currently a mangled mess strewn about on numerous jagged rocks.
Of course, the result was so great because Dyon used saint grade bold type energy and the fact his crystal will, something he usually neglected, was so much more powerful here.
Dyon had planned to use the wyvern to experiment with his power some more, but it looked like it had lost its battle prowess with just two strikes...
The scary part was that qi was still incredibly difficult to manipulate in this world. It was a bit easier when Dyon focused on just one type, instead of trying to gather conventional qi, but it was still difficult nonetheless.
Yet, despite only being able to gather a small amount of bold type qi, the result was so exaggerated.
Though he couldn't experiment with the pitiful wyvern anymore, he had learned something else. Sensing and manipulating qi in this space was far easier when you had some of it already.
For example, just now, Dyon had switched the light type qi he entered the mountain range with to bold type qi. Not just that, he went from essence grade light type qi to saint grade bold type qi. He found that not only did having a similar type qi within his meridians make sensing and using the same qi easier, the higher grade of that type qi he had, the easier it became.
