Chapter 446: Chapter 448: Even the Dragon King Cannot Prevail
 

Since he was about to make a Holy Armor of the Green Dragon, naturally, the materials had to be well-prepared.

He came to the Little Inner Court, actually, to learn the use of flames, which Mr. Jinli praised highly for their utilization here in the Furnace Fire.

“I’ll help you, but you have to teach me how to add Wind Marks to the Dragon Armor,” Zhu Minglang said.

“That would be great, those things are very difficult to capture, you need to be extremely fast,” Zhu Rongrong said.

Without even having a hot tea in the Little Inner Court, Zhu Minglang followed Zhu Rongrong outside again.

Zhu Rongrong took Zhu Minglang toward the Sea High Slope, and the patrolling guards specifically reminded them to be extra cautious, as a huge wind storm beast had recently attacked the nearby sea cliffs.

Zhu Rongrong was so frightened that she turned pale, especially upon seeing that terrifying gap in the cliff…

Zhu Minglang tried to comfort her, but felt awkward to reveal that he was the cause of it.

Upon reaching a Sea High Slope, he could see the spring grass already growing out early in the warm climate, covering the vast high slope with lush greenery.

The high slope was very broad, extending toward the ocean, with a vertical height of over a hundred meters, and looking along the slope felt like heading straight into the blue sky.

Near the high slope, there were incredibly strong air currents, sometimes spinning, sometimes scattering chaotically, sometimes rushing forward, and on the rocky, grassy soil of the high slope grew a type of Dandelion that looked like crystal granules. From afar, they appeared like numerous pearls and crystals hanging on those tough herbs, glistening, and when swayed by the wind, they were strikingly beautiful.

“Actually, there’s another secret, but father has instructed not to tell anyone, you can ask father directly about that, brother,” Zhu Rongrong said mysteriously.

“Well, first tell me, how difficult is it to catch these Crystal Wind Dandelions? It feels like I could just reach out and grab one,” Zhu Minglang said.

“Then go ahead and try,” Zhu Rongrong said.

Zhu Minglang approached the Dandelions that seemed to have crystal granules hanging on them. It’s just a herb, could they possibly fly?

Just as he got close to the Wind Crystal Dandelion, it suddenly trembled as if startled, and immediately after, the crystal granules on the flower dandelion transformed into wings, and at an astonishing speed soared into the air right in front of Zhu Minglang!

They fluttered like butterflies and dragonflies, and like fireflies in the forest, moving through the air gracefully with trajectories that Zhu Minglang, despite his high Spiritual Sense, could barely make out!

So fast, so graceful, and they really fucking fly!!

Zhu Minglang scratched his head.

How the hell was he supposed to capture them? Surely not with a net, that would be so stupid.

“Brother, you mustn’t harm them. Even if they’re attacked very slightly, they’ll shatter instantly and release a windy breath… then we wouldn’t be able to take them back,” Zhu Rongrong reminded Zhu Minglang.

Zhu Minglang tilted his head back to watch the group of Dandelion Spirits blinking madly in the sky. For a moment, Zhu Minglang felt as if their trajectories connected to form the cursive script of “stupid humans”.

Big Black Tooth, that rough Dragon lad, likely couldn’t handle such delicate work.

“Little Qingzhuo, your turn, this will be a form of training for you,” Zhu Minglang opened the Spirit Realm and summoned the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon.

Little Azure Dragon flew out, sizing up the Crystal Wind Spirits fluttering chaotically in the sky, glowing as they flew, and felt equally bewildered.

It tried to capture one with its claws, but because its body radiated strong Azure Flame, the Crystal Wind Butterfly immediately shattered upon approach, releasing a powerful gust of wind!

This wind breath was more fearsome than imagined, exploding in all directions, creating wind circles that could sweep away ordinary people!

Zhu Minglang shielded himself with his hands and watched the shattered Dandelion Spirit in astonishment. So tiny, yet so powerful. If he collected a bunch and crushed them together, wouldn’t that create a rather terrifying hurricane??

Indeed, no Holy Spirit in this world should be underestimated!

Little Qingzhuo, unwilling to give in, tried once again.

This time, it concealed its holy light, chasing after one of the Dandelion Spirits in the air.

Like an eagle chasing flies and mosquitoes.

Despite the eagle’s powerful hunting ability, catching flies and mosquitoes alive is not easy.

“Brother, is this a Holy Dragon with the bloodline of the Azure Phoenix? So cool, is it a Dragon Monarch?” Zhu Rongrong said.

“Yes,” Zhu Minglang nodded.

“But these little guys are very special, even a Dragon King would be useless here,” Zhu Rongrong said with a smile.

“I can see that, but this also shows that if we could imprint these wind marks on the dragon armor, it would greatly enhance the dragon’s speed, evasion, and flying capability!” Zhu Minglang said.

“Yes, at least within the Dragon Monarch level, no dragon’s speed could possibly surpass that of one with wind marked dragon armor. Some, with innate talent for speed and the addition of wind marks, could even outpace creatures of the Dragon King level,” Zhu Rongrong said with certainty and confidence.

Zhu Minglang’s expectation for Little Qingzhuo was for all its abilities to reach their peak, as only then could it hope to advance to the next stage.

Speed must first be maximized; these little beings were indeed very suitable flying practice targets, much more effective than maintaining a stationary flight against the sea breeze.

Cultivation is inherently tedious, just like the initial sword practice, where one needed to swing all rusty swords at the sky, using the wind as grit to remove all the rust…

It is the same with dragon training.

Zhu Minglang would not take these small creatures lightly because of their insignificance. The more subtle the life, the more it harbors easily overlooked skills which often are the key to victory.

Study, practice, think, comprehend, improve, then practice again…

There are no shortcuts in cultivation.

“Little Qingzhuo, don’t be impatient. For now, put aside our Dragon Monarch pride and imagine yourself as an ordinary azure bird, these little things are your dinner tonight, if you cannot catch them, you’ll have to eat dirt,” Zhu Minglang said to Little Qingzhuo.

The more proud and arrogant, the less likely to catch any one of them, and even shattering several Dandelion Spirits in a row invites a gust of wind to slap the face.

“Brother, you’re very patient. A Dragon King Dragon Trainer from Qin City once came here to try, and he didn’t catch a single one all day, but I believe brother can do it!” Zhu Rongrong cheered from the side.

“Don’t worry, I promise to help you complete the winter break homework your father assigned you,” Zhu Minglang said with a smile.

Zhu Rongrong started to feel a bit embarrassed.

“There’s a Wind Gorge not far from here, which is our Spirit Vein. There are more of these Wind Crystal Dandelions there. After we finish here, let’s head over,” Zhu Rongrong said.

Spirit Vein!

For some reason, nowadays, whenever he heard the word Spirit Vein, Zhu Minglang would feel both excited and guilty.

Behind Zhu Minglang, in the simple knapsack, a pair of sharp ears perked up, followed by a pair of sly big eyes.

“Pop pop~~~~~~~” Little Glow Spirit jumped out of its sleeping bag, happily bouncing around on the grass.

There’s a feast to be had.
