Chapter 159 - Divine Power
After Ye Hao returned to his room, he immediately immersed himself in his cultivation practices.
Upon reaching the peak of his recovery, Ye Hao noticed a significant increase in his cultivation level.
“It appears that my cultivation can indeed improve as my combat abilities enhance,” Ye Hao realized with clarity. He then gazed contemplatively into the distance.
Although Ye Hao's cultivation had advanced rapidly, it still paled in comparison to the formidable members of the Wolf Tribe.
This was the very reason Ye Hao consented to Qingqing and the two other girls traveling to Ancesall.
He believed it would take the Wolf Tribe some time to track them down.
Time was of the essence for Ye Hao.
Given sufficient time, he could elevate his cultivation to surpass even those of the Earthly Immortal Realm.
“I need to develop some Divine Powers,” Ye Hao reflected, recalling his battle with the Wolf Tribe youth. He recognized speed as a particular shortcoming. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had to confront the Wolf Tribe youth directly.
He was also missing a technique for evasion.
The memories of the black dragon were comprehensive.
Through these memories, Ye Hao learned of a Divine Power associated with speed: the Roaming Dragon Nine Transformations.
Armed with the Dragon Orb, it wouldn't take long for Ye Hao to master the Divine Powers of the Dragon Clan.
Nevertheless, Ye Hao couldn't openly display the Divine Powers of the Dragon Clan.
Should others suspect him of being a Dragon Clan descendant, they would covet his Dragon Orb for its potent legacy.
Hence, while cultivating the Roaming Dragon Nine Transformations, Ye Hao simultaneously practiced the Divine Metamorphosis Method.
Although the Divine Metamorphosis Method was a formidable technique, it still didn't quite measure up to the Roaming Dragon Nine Transformations.
During his cultivation, Ye Hao appreciated the benefits of possessing a top-grade spirit root, as it allowed him to grasp the principles of the Divine Metamorphosis Method within mere days.
With a preliminary mastery of the Divine Metamorphosis Method, Ye Hao proceeded to cultivate the flee underground technique.
Technically, the flee underground was another Divine Power of the Dragon Clan. However, its features, much like those of the Heavenly Thunder Spell, were subtle enough that even other cultivators couldn't recognize it as a Divine Power of the Dragon Clan.
The Dragon Clan's members include the Gold Dragon, Wood Dragon, Aqua Drake, Fire Dragon, and Earth Dragon. However, the black dragon possesses all five attributes, a trait unique to the Golden Dragon Clan. Ye Hao finally understood why the Golden Dragon Clan looked down upon the black dragon. If he were part of the Golden Dragon Clan, he wouldn't be fond of the black dragon either.
The black dragon's Five Elements Divine Powers are the Heavenly Soldier Spell, the Way of the Undying, the Rain Summoning, the Flame Mantra, and the ability to flee underground. These Divine Powers represent the five attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Ye Hao had never considered cultivating all five Divine Powers simultaneously, knowing the importance of a solid foundation in cultivation.
“I'll do as you say,” she replied quietly.
Feeling slightly bashful under Tang Pianpian's gaze, Ye Hao announced, “I'm off.”
After exiting the villa, he phoned Xiao Ming.
“Where are you?”
“At the University of Finance and Economics!”
“How did you end up there?”
The University of Finance and Economics was among the six elite institutions in Ubliasia, known for producing numerous financial moguls.
Graduates from this university never had to worry about employment, as they were often recruited by various consortia and companies even before finishing their studies.
The University of Finance and Economics was situated in Glento.
“Did you know that thirty girls have died in the last month?” Xiao Ming's voice was grave.
“Have you found no leads in a month?” Ye Hao inquired.
“None.”
“So why visit the University of Finance and Economics?”
“Two students there have died, compared to three from other schools,” Xiao Ming explained somberly. “I suspect another death at the University of Finance and Economics is imminent.”
“Nonsense,” Ye Hao declared.
Every one of the nine schools was facing the same predicament. It was inevitable that another student at the University of Finance and Economics would meet their demise.
Xiao Ming felt somewhat awkward.
“I'm heading to the University of Finance and Economics right now,” Ye Hao announced, employing the Divine Metamorphosis Method and swiftly making his way to the institution.
Given Ye Hao's Soul Refining Realm cultivation level, even a hundred miles would not take him long to traverse.
Upon reaching the University of Finance and Economics, he located Xiao Ming. The situation seemed quite thorny to Ye Hao.
Considering Xiao Ming's level of cultivation, his inability to uncover any leads suggested that the mastermind was exceedingly cunning.
“We should search for clues separately,” Xiao Ming suggested gravely.
Ye Hao nodded in agreement and set off in one direction.
He hadn't gone far when he heard someone call out, “Ye Hao.”
