Chapter 440: Dragon Elephant Power, New Traits!

Chapter 440: Dragon Elephant Power, New Traits!

March 11th, 2025 - Author: Jiang Shangjing

Inside the courtyard.

Jiang Ning stood motionless, his breath calm and steady like a deep well, resembling a statue.

As the sun slowly rose behind the mountain range, the world became brighter.

Suddenly, the rising sun crested the mountain ridge, like a dragon's spine.

When the first ray of golden light pierced through the morning's faint clouds and landed on Jiang Ning, his body seemed to emit a faint golden glow.

At this moment, he opened his eyes, and they shone with a brilliant light, as if a flash of gold had appeared within them.

[Skill]: Goldenvolution Invencible (Break Limit 2/20000) (Trait: Dragon Elephant Power)



[Dragon Elephant Power]: Possesses Dragon Elephant Power, which increases with physical strength, granting up to the blessing of Nine Dragons and Nine Elephants.

Dragon Elephant Power?

His gaze intensified, and he clenched his right fist in the air.

Boom!

The air shattered in his grasp, transforming into white mist and spreading out with a piercing sonic boom.

Incredible!

His eyes lit up with joy.

With a simple fist, he could crush the air. This strength was beyond his imagination, difficult to describe with words.

In simple terms, he could clearly feel that his strength had surpassed his previous limits by several times.

After breaking the limit of Goldenvolution Invencible, he gained the blessing of Dragon Elephant Power.

With his current strength, he was confident he could send his past self flying with a single punch.

"With this power, even a Master would be completely suppressed if they got close to me!"

Jiang Ning muttered to himself, his eyes radiating with supreme confidence.

The terrifying power within him gave him this unshakable confidence.

"What if I combine it with my space-shrinking ability? How would a Celestial Master fare then?"

The thought flashed through Jiang Ning's mind, and his confidence soared.

Then, he took a step forward, using his space-shrinking ability, and instantly crossed several zhang, appearing on the opposite shore of the lake.

Crack!

As his right foot landed, the stone brick beneath it shattered, sending out spiderweb-like cracks.

"My strength is a bit out of control!"

Jiang Ning looked down at the broken stone brick and muttered.

He knew that this situation was due to his power surging too much in a short time, making it temporarily difficult to control this overflowing strength.

"It's simple; I'll master this power in just a moment!"

He thought to himself.

Then, taking a few steps, he disappeared from the courtyard.

In the blink of an eye, he entered the Dongling Mountain Range.

After an incense stick's worth of time.

Chirp, chirp—

Chirp, chirp—

Several early-rising sparrows, hoping to catch some insects, fluttered helplessly in Jiang Ning's palm.

No matter how hard they flapped their wings, they couldn't escape his grasp.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he waved his hand, no longer using his skill to restrain the sparrows.

Flap, flap—

The sparrows, freed from their despair, flapped their wings vigorously and quickly flew away from the human who had brought them such hopelessness.

After a few breaths.

The sparrows disappeared from sight.

At this moment, Jiang Ning closed his eyes and focused inward.

Instantly, he saw that the membrane within his body had undergone more noticeable changes.

The golden membrane now seemed to be enveloped in a sacred glow, constantly emitting a faint golden light.

The Dragon Elephant Power, combined with my previous cultivation, has further enhanced my membrane.

Jiang Ning slowly opened his eyes, and his qi and blood circulated.

In an instant.

Like the golden cicada before, his body was covered in a layer of faint golden light.

Two layers!

His gaze fixed on the golden light within him, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Previously, he had seen the golden cicada, which had perfected Goldenvolution Invencible.

Its body was only covered by a faint layer of golden light, resembling a protective barrier.

When Jiang Ning had perfected Goldenvolution Invencible, he too had only a single layer of faint golden light protecting his body.

But now, there were two layers.

These two layers of protective golden light were as thin as cicada wings, almost invisible to the naked eye.

However, with his keen vision, he could see them clearly.

"This must be the reward for breaking the limit!"

Jiang Ning muttered to himself, no longer finding it strange.

Dragon Elephant Power was a trait-enhancing ability.

The improvement after breaking the limit was the true effect of this technique.

I wonder how strong my physical defense is now?

Another thought flashed through his mind.

After a moment.

He returned home.

By now, he had complete control over his power.

Entering his room, he instantly took out a dagger.

It was a dagger forged from a thousand-fold refined iron.

Clang!

He drew out a dagger, its cold glint intimidating.

With just a glance, one could see that this dagger was exceptionally sharp.

It could split a hair in mid-air and cut through iron like mud, but these were just the most basic and simple functions.

The next moment, he clenched his right hand around the sharp blade and exerted force.

When he released his grip, the dagger that had been in his hand was now twisted like a twisted rope.

Visible fingerprints marked the once-sharp edge.

"It's useless now!" He shook his head.

It was clear that the thousand-forged blade could no longer harm his body; he couldn't even tell how strong his physical body had become.

However, he could clearly feel that his physical strength had significantly increased compared to before.

The most significant change, however, was in his power.

The Dragon Elephant's power granted him an incredibly formidable force.

Now that he had complete control over this power, he felt even more acutely how terrifying it was.

With just this power, he could suppress his past self with a mere lift of his hand.

He clenched his fist.

A loud explosion sounded.

Mist spread through his fingers.

"I really want to battle Xiao Qiu Shui!" His eyes blazed with battle intent, and his heart was filled with eagerness to test his strength.

After a moment, he suppressed this impulse.

"No rush! There will be a day! For now, I'll keep a low profile and continue to improve my strength!"

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed since he broke through the limit of his Goldenvolution Invencible.

During this time, Dongling City had been calm, without any major disturbances.

Jiang Ning, the newly appointed Patrol Commissioner of Dongling County, had maintained a low profile during these days, doing nothing to cause a stir among the people.

The only thing that had caused some discussion among the people was the imprisonment of many members of the Liu family.

Some said that the new Patrol Commissioner of Dongling County had overstepped his boundaries.

Technically, cases involving the Liu family were not under his jurisdiction but should be handled by the yamen officials.

However, those who understood the relationship between the two privately spread rumors that the new Patrol Commissioner was using his position to settle personal scores.

Jiang Ning had heard some of these rumors.

But he merely smiled in response.

He had indeed planned to settle scores with the Liu family after the fact.

But before he could make a move, Liu Sansheng and Liu Wanwan's mother came to his door.

They understood that if he, as the Patrol Commissioner of Dongling County, sought to avenge Jiang Li, it would bring devastating consequences to the Liu family.

After being persuaded by Liu Sansheng and Liu Wanwan's mother, Liu Wanwan sought him out.

At the same time, Jiang Li also approached him.

Both of them had clear intentions.

But when Jiang Ning presented the evidence Bai Luoyu had gathered and placed it before them, they fell silent.

In the end, Jiang Ning decided to take action.

It was for the sake of the former Jiang Li, the former him, and his nephew Jiang Yiming.

It was also because he couldn't tolerate the sight of some despicable individuals.

With this action, the entire Liu family experienced a calamity.

Those who had committed crimes were all arrested.

Severe punishment for serious crimes, minor punishment for minor offenses.

Unless there were any uninvestigated cases, everyone was dealt with without tolerance.

This matter also caused a stir in Dongling City.

It was the only major issue he had personally handled since taking office.

Herb King Valley.

As spring arrived, Herb King Valley welcomed its most beautiful season of the year.

Hundreds of flowers bloomed, creating a vibrant and colorful spectacle.

The valley was filled with the fragrance of flowers and the scent of medicinal herbs.

"Patrol Commissioner Jiang!"

As soon as Jiang Ning stepped into the valley from the mountain entrance, Lu Qing Shan appeared before him.

"Valley Master Lu!" Jiang Ning smiled.

"I never expected that today, I would have the honor of welcoming such a distinguished guest into the valley!" Lu Qing Shan looked at Jiang Ning, and his eyes flashed with a hint of sentiment.

Jiang Ning had been appointed as the Patrol Commissioner of Dongling County half a month ago.

Lu Qing Shan, as the Valley Master of Herb King Valley, which was located within Dongling County, naturally knew about this.

After this news spread throughout the valley, the elders would praise his wisdom whenever they saw him.

Whenever he thought about his initial decision, he felt extremely fortunate.

In the beginning, whether they became friends or foes was entirely up to him.

In the end, he chose friendship over enmity.

If he had chosen enmity, he would have felt terrified when considering Jiang Ning's current achievements.

If he had made an enemy of Jiang Ning and allowed him to grow to his current state, Herb King Valley would have faced a devastating disaster.

He had no doubt that the Patrol Commissioner of Dongling County had the capability to do so.

Just in terms of strength, he knew that Bai Luoyu was not much weaker than him.

Not to mention the significance of the position and the power it could wield.

"Valley Master Lu, how is my master's health now?" Jiang Ning asked.

"Your master has fully recovered, and there are no lingering issues!" Lu Qing Shan replied.

"Thank you!" Jiang Ning said.

Lu Qing Shan smiled and said, "It's just a fair exchange; there's no need for thanks!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning was slightly taken aback.

Lu Qingshan didn't seek to build a relationship but offered a trade, causing Wang Jin to instantly view him with newfound respect.

Wang Jin's heart instantly lightened.

After a moment, Jiang Ning called out, "Master Wang!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Wang Jin halted his movements and turned around.

"It's you, kid!" Wang Jin exclaimed, his face breaking into a smile.

"How do you feel, Master Wang?" Jiang Ning asked.

"It's amazing!" Wang Jin replied, patting his chest vigorously as if beating a drum, showcasing his robust physique.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning also smiled.

"Master Wang, do you want to go back now?"

"I've been feeling so rusty here that my skills might deteriorate! And without my supervision, those rascals might have slacked off during this time!" Wang Jin seemed to be thinking of many things, muttering to himself.

"Patrol Commissioner Jiang, are you leaving now?" Lu Qingshan asked.

Patrol Commissioner?

Hearing these words, Wang Jin turned to look at Jiang Ning.

He scrutinized him carefully but couldn't discern any clues.

At that moment, Jiang Ning nodded.

"It's time to go back!"

"I was thinking of being a good host, but considering your busy official duties as the Patrol Commissioner of Dongling County, a Sixth Grade official position, I won't keep you any longer!" Lu Qingshan explained.

He sighed, "Oh well, I'll see you off, Patrol Commissioner!"

"Patrol Commissioner?" Wang Jin, hearing their conversation, couldn't help but ask, "What does 'Patrol Commissioner' mean?"

Lu Qingshan smiled, "Master Wang, you may not know that your disciple is now the Patrol Commissioner of Dongling County, holding a Sixth Grade official position!"

"The Patrol Commissioner of Dongling County?"

"A Sixth Grade official position?!"

Wang Jin's eyes widened in shock as he stared at Jiang Ning.

Seeing this, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but smile.

After a moment, Lu Qingshan said, "Please wait, Elder Lu!"

Jiang Ning climbed into the carriage, which was pulled by two White Snow Red Flame horses, trained by him to understand human commands.

"Take care, both of you!" Lu Qingshan also stopped in his tracks.

"Farewell!" Jiang Ning bowed.

He then entered the carriage.

The next moment, the carriage slowly moved away.

Watching the carriage's departing silhouette, Elder Huang shook his head and sighed, glancing at his granddaughter, Huang Yu.

Huang Yu's eyes revealed a hint of unwillingness.

She clenched her fist, her nails digging into her flesh.

"Let's go back!" Lu Qingshan turned and said indifferently, "He's destined to be a True Dragon, while we're just ordinary beings. We're not on the same path, so how can we walk together?"

"Yes, Elder Lu!" Elder Huang understood that Lu Qingshan was addressing his granddaughter, Huang Yu.

They both could see through Huang Yu's thoughts.

After meeting Jiang Ning today, Elder Huang also agreed with Lu Qingshan's words, and his thoughts had long been settled.

As Lu Qingshan said, a True Dragon wouldn't descend to the mortal world to marry an ordinary woman.

His granddaughter, Huang Yu, was not a match for the current Jiang Ning.

Moreover, Elder Huang had seen Jiang Ning's past.

In just a few months, Jiang Ning had risen to this position, which was truly astonishing.

The Patrol Commissioner of Dongling County.

Not to mention the status, but the mere fact that he held this position indicated formidable martial arts prowess, at least not weak for a Fifth Grade official.

Such strength was something even Elder Huang didn't dare to claim victory over.

And there was the age difference between them.

On the other side, after a short while in the carriage, the time reached noon.

Although there was no sundial, Jiang Ning could determine the time based on the shadows cast by the sunlight.

"Master, I'm going to the top of the carriage for a while," Jiang Ning said.

"Why?" Wang Jin asked, then immediately realized, "Is it for the Nourishing Life with Inner Dan?"

"Yes!" Jiang Ning nodded.

Hearing this, Wang Jin's pupils constricted slightly.

His own cultivation method was also the Nourishing Life with Inner Dan.

Although he didn't learn the complete method from Shen Congyun, he had heard a few things about the perfection of the method.

It was a secret, unspoken law of the Dantian Sect.

The most distinctive feature was absorbing and refining the most vigorous Yang Qi during the twelve hours of the day, specifically at noon.

"It's noon now!"

Wang Jin glanced at the shadow cast by the sunlight through the carriage, understanding the reason.

As he watched Jiang Ning's departing figure, admiration flashed in his eyes.

Such talent was truly terrifying!

Wang Jin's face lit up with a joyful smile.

As a teacher, seeing his disciple become a proud talent renowned across the land was a source of immense pride.
