The benefits of Dao Rhyme: Vortex Dragon to Zhong Ming went far beyond a mere surge in his combat power.
When his consciousness was attached to the Sword Seed, Zhong Ming's realm would be elevated by an entire level. By using this transcendent state to practice other Magic Techniques—whether it was Longxi Swordsmanship, Spirit Stream Finger's Jie Technique, or Wave-Surging Dragon Stream Step—Zhong Ming could grasp their profound mysteries. His progress was astonishingly fast.
For this reason, after returning from the Golden Jade Tower, Zhong Ming dedicated all his time to honing and cultivating his Magic Techniques and Swordsmanship.
He wanted to grind all of his Cultivation Techniques to the Proficiency stage of the Fourth Realm before the end of the month. Then, by using the overlapping resonance of his various Rhythms of Life, he hoped to comprehend a third Dao Rhyme.
