Three days pa.s.sed, and Xiang Shaoyun won all three duels during this time. Including his previous two victories, he had now won five duels. His rank on the Serpent Fowl List had now reached 392nd place. On the sixth day since he started his daily duels, there were no longer any challengers.

It wasn't because Xiang Shaoyun was now acknowledged as unrivaled. Rather, it was because a vast majority of the actual experts were in secluded cultivation and were too busy to deal with him, giving him an opportunity to take a break from dueling.

Currently, he was in his villa's gravity room, a.n.a.lyzing all the gains from the five battles he had gone through. Apart from the first battle where he had comprehended some of the profundity of earth, he found that he had not comprehended anything new during his other battles.

That wasn't to say that a problem had occurred with his comprehension capability. Rather, the profundity of the elements represented absolute truth. Apart from comprehension capability, one also needed an acc.u.mulation of experience before comprehending the truth of the elements.

As for his feat of comprehending the profundity of earth, apart from luck, it was also due to the fact that earth was everywhere. So long as one lived on the land, one would be able to sense the boundless power of earth. As for the other powers, although they were also present in the air, they could never be felt as vividly as the earth. In a way, this was an environmental factor.

Xiang Shaoyun had just come to understand this point. For example, flame cultivators would be stronger in an area with a dense flame element. That was the so-called environmental factor at work. In other words, to comprehend the profundities of the elements, one had to become one with the world.

Of course, Xiang Shaoyun had still gained a lot from the battles. He gained firsthand experience of the tricks the young geniuses had up their sleeves. Almost all of them were capable of punching above their weight. From that, it could be seen that the so-called geniuses of the dominion were really quite capable.

If it wasn't for his superiority in speed and the teachings from the gravekeeper elder, it would be almost impossible for Xiang Shaoyun to defeat his opponents by relying on a single power. For now, he did not want to focus too much on the profundity of the elements. He wanted to first grow his cultivation level. That way, he would be better equipped to face his coming trials.

He was sure that the next time a challenger appeared, that challenger would be much stronger than those he had faced thus far. Seated in the cultivation room, he started circulating his nine astral energies again and again.

Apart from gravity suppression, a powerful presence suppression existed in the room as well. The environment here was similar to the stairs he had climbed when taking the academy entrance test; the only difference was that the room's presence suppression was much harsher.

In such an environment, the energy he gained during cultivation would be purer and stronger. This was a unique benefit only core disciples could enjoy. As Xiang Shaoyun circulated his energies, he found that his acc.u.mulation had reached a critical point. He could now attempt to transform his energies into draconic aura and get started on reaching the Dragon Ascension Realm.

As for how the draconic aura could be formed, that relied on one's grasp on one's astral energy. The better the control one had, the easier it would be to form one's draconic aura. One without good control would have a problem forming draconic aura, and by extension, one wouldn't be able to reach the Dragon Ascension Realm. That was the main reason why so many peak Kings were stuck at the same cultivation level for life.

The so-called Dragon Ascension was a process of condensing one's energy into a dragon. With a spine akin to a dragon, one could soar above the sky and become an Emperor among humans.
