James employed the Terrastride Step and the Dawnblaze Form to navigate through clusters of various-colored gases, every step a nerve-wracking venture.
Though these gases lacked direct force, their corrosive effect on the Ultimate Golden Body was potent. They were filled with countless restrictions and lightning strikes, constantly threatening him.
Each lightning strike induced temporary blindness and paralyzed his soul. It was a torment unbearable for most.
Even as he evaded these perils with his Supernatural Power, James found himself confronted by countless Sword Formations, mountainous obstacles, and even various magical treasures within the gas clusters, each encounter fraught with danger.
After just a few hundred rounds, James was battered and bruised, bloodied and disheveled, his mouth oozing blood, in a pitiable state.
Another use of the Dawnblaze Form brought James to a corner of the space. He took a rest, seizing the opportunity to drink some Chaos Absinthe to heal his wounds and replenish his depleted Chaos Essence.
Yet, it seemed as though everything in this space bore a grudge against him, offering little time for rest as he was engulfed once more by the gases.
This cycle of struggle and recovery persisted over several entrapochs until James, initially grappling with adversity, evolved into a state of composed traversal. He relied on the Chaos Yin-Yang Eyes to perceive and evade, even daring to engage in battles against lightning, Sword Formations, imposing mountainous obstacles, and mystical treasures within the gases.
Meanwhile, James’ Marciais Power was abundantly absorbed during these few entrapochs. The enigmatic energy he assimilated grew purer and more potent with each passing moment. Every action and detail within this space was closely observed by Yianni, who monitored him from the outside world using an energy ball.
Seated on either side, Lesia and Yukha did not miss a single detail. They occasionally shouted in excitement.
After a while, Lesia suddenly glared at Yianni. “Is this your method for training him to the Fourth Marciais Combat Form?”
In the alternate space, James had transcended mere evasion of restrictions and attacks within the gases. Instead, he began to assimilate these powers, making them his own.
Using Chaos Essence, he fully integrated the devoured energies into the mysterious power within him, transforming its original gray-black-white hues into a myriad of vibrant colors, multiplying its potency manifold.
Gradually, he sensed that he had reached the first extreme of the Fourth Marciais Combat Form. In this space, no gas, weapon, magical treasure, or restriction could harm him.
As James devoured the last cluster of gases, he raised his head and shouted, “Mr. Yianni, does this qualify as success in reaching the first extreme of the Fourth Marciais Combat Form?”
With his words, Yianni flashed before him in an instant.

"Good things take time" Lol yeah, a hundred and fifty trillion years, apparently....
How was Sheldon Jame's first disciple? Wasn't the Black Eagle King the first? Where has he disappeared to all this time?...
Unbelievable... I thought James was rid of the annoying "honey, darling" Thea by going to the Demonic Realm, but now she's gone there too *puke*...
This Thea is the most narcissistic woman of all, constantly interrupting James's cultivation, getting in the way of his plans and slowing him down. He was well rid of her but the author went bonkers a few hundred chapters into the story and decided to pair her back with James.. Yuck!...
Thea doesn't deserve James, it so sad he loves her...
Thank you so much for all the effort. I love all the stories I've read. I hope to continue reading "The Almighty Dragon General" story. 😊...
