X-Dragon Era

Hearing Instructor Mei Wu's words, Xin Yun seemed to understand but also didn't, and hesitantly said, "So, you mean that I just need to absorb the primal force of the Water Series? But what about the acidity? How can I enhance the acidity?"

Facing Xin Yun's question, Instructor Mei Wu furrowed her attractive eyebrows and said, "Absorbing origin power is just about deciding the direction of development, while acidity is a characteristic of your Dragon Creation Stone. If you want to increase the acidity in your attacks, there's only one way, and that's to enhance your spiritual power and increase the purity of your energy!"

"Snap!" With a fierce slap on his thigh, Xin Yun excitedly said, "I get it now, you mean that the higher the purity of my energy, the stronger the acidity. And at the same purity, spiritual power determines the strength of the acidity!"

With a smile, Instructor Mei Wu nodded her head and continued, "Exactly, and it's not just about acidity, but other powers from different elements work the same way; they all rely on human spiritual power for enhancement. The stronger your spirit, the stronger your abilities will be!"

Upon hearing this, Xin Yun finally saw the light and understood completely. The so-called energy purity actually represents the purity of the acid, while spiritual power plays an enhancing role. That is to say, to improve acidity, one either has to rise in level or enhance one's spiritual power!

The mentioned levels refer to the energy realm of a dragon, while spiritual power refers to humans. For the first time... Xin Yun realized that not only dragons need to be cultivated, but humans are even more crucial!

Although the power of dragons is tremendous, it is the human element that ultimately determines the final achievement. At most, dragons can only account for half of the potency; the other half is the strength of the human, which is why the Combat Dragon Academy places such importance on human talent, qualifications, and potential.

A highly-ranked Light Dragon is useless if the human's realm is far below that of the opponent; one cannot defeat the opponent. Only when the realm of the dragon and the strength of the human progress side by side can they become the most powerful.

Without a word, he shook his head; it seems... in any world, knowledge is too important. It's okay not to go to school, but then one will miss out on a lot and make many mistakes, some of which could be fatal!

Looking at Xin Yun's admiring expression, Instructor Mei Wu continued, "Alright, I've said all I need to say. As for specific training, I don't quite understand it, and since we're not from the same element, I can't give you advice. You'll have to learn from your class instructor."

Seeing the tired look on Instructor Mei Wu, Xin Yun felt truly grateful. He respectfully bowed to Mei Wu and, not wanting to disturb her further, turned and left the head instructor's office.

With Mei Wu's guidance, Xin Yun made enormous gains today. First, he realized that to achieve something, he had to establish his own direction, which is to absorb the primal force of the Water Series, rather than indiscriminately absorbing Water and Ice Elements as he had been doing.

Otherwise, he might end up like his previous life, perhaps becoming a bit stronger, but overall there wouldn't be much change.

Moreover, once he determined his direction, aside from paying attention to enhancing the strength of the dragon, it was even more important to focus on enhancing his own strength. This was very important, critically important, as the abilities were split between dragon and human, each accounting for half. The difference is, dragons provide power and energy, while humans offer spirit and soul!

Together, they form a true dragon.

Lost in thought, Xin Yun returned to the classroom and, after pondering carefully in his seat for a while, the class instructor Musha hurried over, and the afternoon lessons began.

However, in class, Musha did not impart knowledge but informed everyone about the current situation. Since this 11th extracurricular class was newly added this year, they only had a classroom and dormitory, and a simple kitchen; there were no training grounds, training halls, or training equipment available.

Although they lacked these facilities now, it didn't mean they would forever. The academy had officially allocated funds and started construction of various training facilities and buildings around the hilltop. Before that, in addition to learning some theoretical knowledge, everyone was expected to participate in labor, cleaning the surroundings, and tidying up the environment.

After announcing this news, under the leadership of Instructor Musha, all the students started a major cleanup, sweeping the classroom, dormitory, and the surrounding grounds, removing weeds, leveling the muddy paths and clearing away the weeds and shrubs on either side of the road.

They busied themselves until evening when Instructor Musha announced the end of the day's work. At the same time, the kitchen ladies brought rough meals. Maybe because everyone was tired from the afternoon's work, no one complained. Each held a big bowl, eating with a sound that was indescribably sweet.

Just like at noon, Xin Yun consumed two large bowls of cornmeal rice, along with two bowls of soup vegetables and pickled vegetables. Only after that did he, contentedly patting his belly, sit down and begin to ponder.

Although he could not begin training due to the lack of equipment and facilities during this period, Xin Yun refused to waste time. Already behind others, if he delayed further, would there still be a chance to catch up?

Fortunately, there were still many things Xin Yun could do. First and foremost was to transform the energy within the Dragon Ball into the origin power of the Water Series, which was critical for his future development and not to be taken lightly. But where could he find a place with a large convergence of water nearby?
