X-Dragon Era-Chapter 362 - s 271-273 So Easy

Due to the different Origin Energy chosen, even the same kind of dragon would possess distinct abilities, the Fire Dragon’s power is fire, the Water Dragon’s power is water, the Ice Dragon’s power is ice, the Wind Dragon’s power is wind...

The azure energy chosen by Xin Yun is called True Water, the mother of all waters under the heavens. Even the Nine Nether Ice Evil is actually a form evolved from True Water, which can never freeze, possessing the most fundamental abilities of the Water Series.

The saying goes, "Draw the sword and water flows even more," indicating that water fears no physical attack unless the energy is so immense that it destroys the space itself; otherwise, it’s utterly impossible to harm the water. Therefore... Yinglong gained its first ability—physical attack immunity!

This so-called physical immunity doesn’t mean invulnerability, but that any physical attacks could never genuinely harm Yinglong. Any cut would heal instantly, and Yinglong’s energy wouldn’t suffer any loss. No matter how you slash, it would recongeal immediately, so calling it immunity is not unreasonable.

After Xin Yun’s energy liquefied, undergoing a qualitative change, Yinglong’s physical attack immunity evolved into Liquefaction! The so-called liquefaction means Yinglong’s body becomes liquid, with an even stronger physical immunity. Even if you were to bisect it with a single slash, there would be no damage whatsoever, only energy-based attacks could deplete Yinglong’s energy.

Because of the characteristics of True Water, Yinglong’s second ability is absorption. Water has the capacity to buffer and absorb energy. Punching water is hardly effective; the force would be absorbed and dispersed around. Though the attack is focused on one point, the force is borne by all the surrounding water, which absorbs the energy. As for how much can be absorbed, that depends on the amount of water.

After Xin Yun’s energy liquefied, due to the qualitative change, this absorption ability also transformed. After absorbing an enemy’s attack energy, it leverages this energy to accumulate waves. With Xin Yun’s current strength, he could accumulate energy equal to three times his own, forming three waves!

Therefore, Xin Yun named this ability evolved from absorption as Stacking Waves! Currently, he could stack three waves, hence Triple Wave Stacking. Once released, it’s tantamount to three full-force strikes from Xin Yun, one after another. Within a single strike, it contains three surges of impact; the trio of impacts combined increase the power threefold!

Once Triple Wave Stacking is deployed, with a single palm strike from Xin Yun, the power equals three times his own strength, reaching an astonishing level of destructive force! However... such an attack is more suited for group battles, only by absorbing the surrounding attacks can it more easily accumulate energy. The greater the number of enemies, the faster this move can be charged and the more frequently used.

Physical attack immunity evolved into Liquefaction, energy absorption evolved into Stacking Waves. That is how qualitative change enhanced the original abilities. Moreover, as energy transitioned from gaseous to gaseous state, Yinglong conceived a new ability. Given its characteristics and form, Xin Yun named it—Gather, Disperse, Depart, Unite!

The birth of this ability is based on the previous two abilities, starting with the first—Liquefaction! Though it appears unchanged on the surface, Yinglong has, in fact, transformed into a liquid state. Since it’s a liquid, naturally, it can gather, disperse, depart, and unite.

Next, the second ability—Stacking Waves! Once Yinglong endures an attack, it can instantaneously gather enough energy, and under its propulsion, disperse its liquid body into millions of droplets. Utilizing the energy stored within the droplets, it can reconstitute and condense into Ying Long’s True Body again.

Of course, whether it’s Stacking Waves or Gather, Disperse, Depart, Unite, they aren’t limited to leveraging external forces; depleting one’s own energy can also accomplish charging and thus executing Stacking Waves attacks as well as Gather, Disperse, Depart, Unite. However... this requires some time and consumes more energy, so it’s not typically the chosen approach under normal conditions.

Having acquired the ability of Gather, Disperse, Depart, Unite, once Yinglong is attacked, it can explode into countless droplets in an instant. Since water is shadowless and formless, it enters an invisible state. In this state, Xin Yun only needs to stimulate the Dragon Ball to reconvene Ying Long’s True Body in any nearby location.

After elevating two old abilities and gaining a new one, the most crucial sign of advancing to the Gold tier is actually the combat techniques! The hallmark of each advancement in ranking is the acquisition of new combat techniques. This time... Xin Yun’s New Combat Technique is neither offensive nor defensive but supportive.

Water is colorless and transparent, shadowless and formless; based on the foundation of Liquefaction, Yinglong’s New Combat Technique is invisibility. Once executed, Yinglong’s body becomes transparent instantly, invisible to the naked eye, especially under the cover of mist and clouds, it’s nigh impossible for anyone to detect, even if placed right in front of them.

Facing such a New Combat Technique, Xin Yun was close to tears. A water sphere at the Bronze tier, acid mist at the Silver tier, invisibility at the Gold tier—aside from the water sphere from the Bronze tier which was rather useless, there wasn’t a single offensive combat technique. This...

But upon closer contemplation, it’s still very much in line with the characteristics of the Water Series. Without a strong attack or defense, nor great speed, it is the most elusive. Now, taking a closer look, all of Yinglong’s abilities are based on water and all aim towards being elusive.
