Young Noble Be Monster Slaying

[Brilliant Golden Monkey Wine: Permanently enhances the body’s agility upon consumption, making short-distance movements more nimble and swift. Note: due to the increased speed, one must be especially careful for safety.]

After receiving his reward, Chu Liang stared at the jar of aged wine left behind by the sharp-clawed demon monkey. He didn’t say a word. He simply raised it to his lips and drank it down in one go. By now, he had no doubts about the safety of the items granted by the White Pagoda. The only question that remained was how strong and effective they truly were.

Among cultivators, movement techniques generally fell into two categories. One prioritized long-distance travel, such as Golden Path and Shattering the Void, specializing in swift, straight-line traversal across great expanses. The other focused on short-range maneuverability, which was far more valuable in close-quarters combat.

Chu Liang did a small leap, golden light flashing beneath his feet. He zipped from one corner of the prison cell to another in the blink of an eye, covering more than a dozen zhang in an instant. The burst of speed rivaled even Dimension Compression in effectiveness.

However, it was stronger than he had anticipated. His footing faltered at the end, and he nearly slammed into the wall.

“Not bad,” he said with a satisfied smile.

Without enough control or a strong body to match, high speed could be more dangerous than helpful. It wasn’t just about the strain from moving so fast. If a cultivator didn’t have a strong divine sense to guide that momentum, one wrong step could send them crashing headlong into disaster. A single miscalculated impact could make things really unbearable for the cultivator.

Fortunately, Chu Liang’s body was strong in every way. He could handle it.

Thanks to a series of fortified dragon-body techniques and divine arts focused on physical cultivation, Chu Liang’s physique had already surpassed that of most cultivators at his level. And now, after repeatedly receiving rewards that enhanced his physique, his physical abilities had taken another significant leap forward.

At this point, even without cultivating the great Daos, in pure physical combat alone, even that seventh realm White Dragon from Mount Shu, which was renowned for its physical prowess, might no longer be his match.

Of course, Chu Liang's greatest strength still lay in the many Great Daos he had comprehended.
