Chapter 287

It seemed that the further one progressed, the greater the gains in physical strength became. This realization only further fueled the interest of Prince of Shicheng Hua Tianxiong in practicing the Dragon-Tiger Leap Body-Refining Technique. After all, practicing the Star Domain Formula for an hour now only brought his internal strength an increase of 10 ox-power. The further one went, the harder it became to obtain significant power gains through internal cultivation techniques alone. Yet, he had to keep practicing, as rising through the levels of cultivation remained the primary way to increase internal strength. Without hesitation, he began his second session of practice. When he practiced the second movement, the Water Dragon posture, for the second time, although the strength gained was not as high as the first time, it was still steadily increasing—at least fifty ox-power more than the gains from the first movement, and far superior to the internal strength gains provided by the Star Domain Formula. Consequently, Hua Tianxiong was in no rush to move on to a new posture. Instead, he focused on practicing the Water Dragon posture until he could hold it for the maximum duration his current physical limits allowed, thereby maximizing the increase in physical strength gained through this movement.
