“I really don’t understand what you’re thinking!” replied Abbe with a shake of his head.
Nevertheless, he went on and said, “For Dragon People that awakened their bloodline at a later stage, their Dragon blood is ultimately comparatively less concentrated, so they aren’t able to maintain a Dragon form for long. You’ll return to your previous appearance when the energy in your body is fully expended!”
“Oh, I see!”
Realization dawned upon Meng Lei.
And true enough!
After a mere five minutes, Meng Lei felt an empty and hollow feeling coming from his body. The dragon scales on his body faded away swiftly like the tide, and in the blink of an eye, they had already disappeared cleanly!
His dragon tail and dragon bones also vanished along with them!
Meng Lei became smooth and clean, with not a single thread of clothing on him!
“I’ve turned back!
“Haha, I’ve turned back!
“This current look is much more pleasing to the eye after all!”
Right at that moment, Abbe walked out of the cubicle to see Meng Lei fully naked, and his eyes widened big and round at once.
What the f*ck! He’s so big!
“Abbe, get me a set of clothes!”
...
Meng Lei returned to the Flaming Ring of Life And Death after getting dressed and exiting the restroom. The King of Fighters award ceremony was currently underway!
The King of Fighters battle had ended!
It concluded with the three-term King of Fighters, Nicolas the Giant Spiritual God, successfully defending his title. As the victor, he received the people’s cheers and idolization, and his limelight was unparalleled for a while there!
On the other hand, as the loser, Odin Flit quietly left the Flaming Ring of Life And Death. In the upcoming period of at least a year, he would have to live with the loser’s title!
No matter which world it was, people only remembered the victors, while the losers were destined to be forgotten and despised. Reality... was simply always this brutal!
“The victor is king, while the loser is the knave!”
Meng Lei didn’t leave in a hurry. Instead, he continued to pick up attribute light balls that had dropped. After the Fire Dragon bloodline’s accidental assimilation, both his physical body constitution and magic power reserves had reached fifth-grade!
On the contrary, his spiritual power was now lagging behind in the last place and was still at the fourth-grade level.
It was just nice that the arena was crowded, and the people there were mostly in a state of stimulation. He could pick up a few more spirit light balls during this period to compensate for the difference in his spiritual power!
...
It was already midnight by the time he returned to the academy!
After he cleaned himself up, Meng Lei didn’t meditate like what he usually did but studied the Fire Dragon Manual instead. He intended to give the top-notch Battle Aura Technique a try.
What was that saying again? “If you can’t beat them, then join them” or something?
Since he already had Dragon blood in him, then it would be too wasteful if he didn’t cultivate the Fire Dragon Manual.
More than an hour later, when he felt that he was more or less done with studying it, Meng Lei attempted to practice the technique. Upon being guided, a mysterious energy current in him began to crawl slowly in his meridians, much like a snail!
It moved at a very slow speed!
However, Meng Lei was secretly rather excited!
According to the Fire Dragon Manual, that mysterious energy current was Fire Dragon Battle Aura. The fact that the Fire Dragon Battle Aura had begun to circulate in his body meant that he had already entered the Fire Dragon Manual‘s rudimentary stage!
This was a fantastic turn of events!
As long as I can cultivate the Fire Dragon Manual, I am confident that I can cultivate this battle aura technique to a level of great mastery!
Alright, I’ll set a small goal first. For example, becoming a Ninth-Grade Warrior?
Meng Lei practiced the Fire Dragon Manual the whole night. After a night’s cultivation, his Fire Dragon Battle Aura circulation speed had become a lot faster. It was quite a few times faster than what it had been when he had first started!
Fire Dragon Manual also proved itself worthy of being a cultivation method for the Fire Dragon royal family’s use. After a night’s cultivation, Meng Lei’s Physical Body Constitution had actually increased by more than 40 points!
Now, that was pretty dramatic!
That was more than 40 points in a night!
In other words, it was indicative of more than 1,200 points in a month!
At this rate, he would need only two months to become a Sixth-Grade Warrior!
A Sixth-Grade Warrior!
That definitely wouldn’t be weak anymore!
However! I can’t possibly spend all my time cultivating the Fire Dragon Manual. I still have to meditate at night to increase my spiritual power and magic power reserves.
Should I do it in the afternoon instead?
No, that won’t do. The afternoon is meant for picking up light balls!
How about... In the morning?
Alright, the morning it is, then!
I’m already more or less done with learning the basics of using magic. I only need to improve my spiritual power and my magic power reserves, and study even higher-grade spells from now on!
Magic classes... It doesn’t matter whether I go for them or not!
Alright! I’ve happily made up my mind!
Cultivate the Fire Dragon Manual in the morning!
Pick up attributes in the afternoon!
Meditate at night!
His schedule for 24 hours a day had been adequately set!
He also needed to go to the Flame Arena, of course. The fact that Meng Lei had already become a fighter, and was required to fight at least 10 battles per month aside, just the huge number of attribute light balls available there alone already meant that he had
