Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Arthur knew the upcoming battle wasn't that simple. After all he lacked the knowledge of the attachment of the prison up there with the current world here.

But he had this feeling, like his enemies knew about this long ago. Right now he wasn't confused about the strange behavior of his enemies. Keeping themselves all silent for over two years wasn't a simple decision or a lack of interest from his enemies.

On the contrary, he was quite positive of his doubts at this moment. His enemies didn't decide to retreat from the scene except only for this upcoming battle.

All the evidence pointed towards the difficulty of this fight, yet Arthur wasn't worried or afraid. In fact he was excited. After all this time, and with his large advancements in his individual strength and the might of his armies, he wanted a chance to put all this under test.

He wanted to fight, his soul never yearned for a fight ever before like this time.

He also knew whatever his enemies prepared for him during all this time was only a taste of what they would do after that. This world wasn't the end of his journey, only the beginning.

He still lacked nine more worlds to conquer. And right now he got the chance to peek over his enemies plans prior to the big battles waiting for him at the nine worlds.

As he thought about that, he started to reconsider his own abilities and techniques. Before this he was greatly limited in using all the techniques from his past world thanks to his lack of strength.

But after all these upgrades, he was quite confident in his ability to use all the skills from his past life, even those which he never mustered before.

That was the main reason behind his refusal to use the portals in his flight. If he did so, he would reach the lake city faster than his own speed. But he would be busy arranging the armies and preparing the plans for the upcoming battle.

Even if he had to waste a few days in his flight, what was the effect over the overall picture? His enemies waited for him for more than two years, what mere days would change then?

As he started to go through his strongest abilities in his mind, he started to select the deadliest techniques from his past life.

"The scorching sun sword technique was considered the epitome of all sword techniques back in my past life… Yet I never managed to assemble the massive strength required for this brutal technique. I can now use my golden pearl energy as the basis for such a technique…"

The first technique to select was this scorching sun sword technique. Compared to his phantom sword technique, this one was overbearing.

Not to mention its devastational strength, the requirements for executing this technique were much more overbearing in his eyes.

He never dared to even test his ability to use this technique. Despite the conditions for using it were simple, yet the end result of any failure was simply described as deadly backlash!

Not all strong techniques had backlashes when failed to get executed, but not a single one of them had such overbearing punishment on any soul like this technique.

Failing in executing it meant one end; death.

So Arthur never tried to use this technique, not even when he developed his golden pearl for the first time. Even with all the energies inside his body, he knew the price of failure was something he never dared to face.

As this backlash would neglect any defense or strength and directly assault the soul. Crushing the soul of anyone no matter how strong he was meant only death.

But now he had the confidence in trying such a legendary technique out. The scorching sun sword technique is simply based upon a simple concept; burning all the energy inside one's body to turn a single man into a single sun.

A sun was something not easily produced by normal strength. But if Arthur ignited his golden pearl energy inside his body, he would turn into a brilliant sun on this world.

Alongside the hardships, the advantages could be imagined.

Arthur once read an old record about a genius cultivator who managed to learn and use this technique in his life. That man was considered the single entity equal to any sect or groups of genius cultivators assembled together.

It was once said that having this technique was equal to having the strength to rival the entire world, and even the confidence in winning against it.

Arthur started to recall the past knowledge about this technique. It was simple, only accumulating strength to beyond the limit of one's ability, then taking the steps needed to ignite the energy inside one's body.

After igniting his energy, Arthur would have infinite time using this ability until he personally canceled it.

The only drawback of this would be the absolute weakness haunting the person using this technique, even to the degree of turning an immortal to mortal without any power for one month.

But Arthur never doubted his own ability to overcome this faster than anyone else. Not to mention his golden pearl energy came from the merge between the two other forms of energies inside his body; he also had another advantage here.

He would sacrifice a single form of energy, leaving behind two other forms completely intact. Even if he was faced with another deadly situation later on, he would simply sacrifice all his energies to return his golden pearl energy to the peak and reuse his deadly technique again.

That was besides his own ability to regain his golden pearl energy faster. Under his personal estimation, he would be able to regain full golden pearl energy level in one day! From one month to one day was such a ground shaking change.

If he added the time factor inside his garden world, then if he entered his garden world and trained calmly there for one day, only two and half hours would only pass in the real world.

In his eyes, using this technique was as simple as using any other technique. He wouldn't coward away thanks to the deadly backlash or the extreme weakness happening after using it.

After all Arthur wasn't only a genius, he was on a totally different level than anyone else in his two lives.

"One technique is good, but I still have three others to consider," he slowly opened his eyes with a flash of confidence after contemplating on the ground amidst his flight for an entire day.
