Power?

Linley knew exactly how powerful he currently was.

He had reached the Saint level in human form. Once he Dragonformed, his draconic scales were ten times as powerful as they had been in the past. His strength and battle-qi had also risen to terrifying levels. Linley could fully understand…the reason why his ancestors, despite not having a high level of insight, could rely on Dragonform alone to defeat peak-stage Saint-level magical beasts.

As for insight…

The Throbbing Pulse of the World. He had already mastered 256 layers of vibrational waves. The more waves, the more difficult improving became. It had always been like that, but upon reaching the 256th layer of waves, after spending an entire year, he hadn't been able to improve whatsoever.

It seemed…as though 256 layers was some sort of limit.

“It can't be a limit.” Linley was very certain. “According to the War God, if one follows an aspect of the Elemental Laws to its limits, then one would enter the Deity-level. I'm far, far away from the Deity-level. So what exactly comes next, after the 256 layer level?”

Linley didn't know either.

His understandings of the Throbbing Pulse of the World were unique, and there was no one he could ask for advice. All Linley could do every day was to try and immerse himself in the Throbbing Pulse of the World and try to make a breakthrough.

As for the Elemental Laws of the Wind, Linley continued to slowly but surely improve. He hadn't reached a bottleneck yet.

“However, spiritual energy really is hard to build up. After twelve years, I'm still only at the peak of the ninth rank. Breaking through to the Grand Magus Saint level really is hard.” Linley sighed in his heart. If anyone else heard what Linley was thinking, they would have cursed him to hell and back.

As a magus, going from the sixth to the seventh rank was one bottleneck, while going from the ninth rank to the Saint-level was the other major bottleneck.

How could this bottleneck be so easily broken through?

Linley looked at Delia, and he couldn't help but think back to that black rock which Bebe had given her on their wedding night. “In just twelve years, Delia has advanced from the seventh rank as a magus to the ninth rank as an Arch Magus. Although she previously had already been at the seventh rank for quite a few years, this sort of improvement rate really is terrifying.”

Delia was already an Arch Magus of the ninth rank.

After the wedding, Delia had discovered that it wasn't just her elemental essence affinity that had been raised to a terrifying level; she even was able to absorb mageforce at an astonishing speed, and her spiritual energy rapidly increased as well…her rate of improvement vastly outstripped Linley's. As Linley saw it, there was only one explanation for this change.

That mysterious black rock.

After the meal.

Cena, Taylor, and Sasha were having fun by the lake, while Linley, Wharton, Delia, and the others all sat down.

“Big brother.” Wharton finally brought up the purpose of their trip. “Cena and Taylor were tested when they were young. The density of Dragonblood in their veins hasn't reached the required level. It seems we'll have to use that method you spoke of in the past.”

Linley frowned.

“Oh? That's right. It is time to use fresh dragon's blood to activate the Dragonblood in their veins, so they can begin training in the Secret Dragonblood Manual early on.” Linley nodded slightly. When Linley had chatted with the Planar Overseer, Hodan, he had realized…

There were far more Dragonblood Warriors in the history of the Baruch clan than the book had mentioned. The real number was very high, and they relied on dragon's blood.

“Would it be very dangerous?” Delia was a bit nervous.

“As long as the dragon's blood is mixed in with Blueheart Grass, there is no danger at all to activating the Dragonblood in their veins.” Linley said with absolute certainty, while at the same time, he looked at the three children by the lake. “Taylor and Cena need to have their blood activated. What about Sasha?”

“Sasha?” Wharton and Delia both looked at the distant Sasha.

Sasha was just a girl. Although male warriors generally were somewhat superior to female warriors, that didn't mean girls couldn't become experts.

Delia smiled calmly. “Let her make her own choice.”

Linley nodded slightly.

….

“Become a Dragonblood Warrior?” Taylor was the first to whoop in joy. “Oh, I'll do it, I'll totally do it. I dream about being a Dragonblood Warrior like Father. Wow! I'm excited just thinking about it.”

Cena nodded slightly as well. “I'll do it.”

Linley, Wharton, Nina, and Delia weren't surprised. It'd be weird if any of the male children in their lineage passed on this opportunity. Now they all looked at Sasha. Sasha was very quiet. Although she was just ten years old, the beauty she had inherited from Delia was beginning to show.

“I…I'll do it also.” Sasha bit her lips, but nodded firmly.

Delia stroked Sasha's head and praised, “Sasha, in the future, you are going to be a powerful female Dragonblood Warrior.” A smile appeared on Sasha's face.

“Alright.” Linley nodded. “If that's the case…then Wharton, Nina, you can just hand Cena to me. I'll take the three of them to…the Mountain Range of the Setting Sun to search for Saint-level dragons. It's time to engage in some bloodletting with Saint-level dragons.” Linley chuckled.

Engage in bloodletting with Saint-level dragons. These words filled the eyes of Sasha, Taylor, and Cena with shock and joy.

“I'll go as well.” Wharton was somewhat nervous.

“Hey, little Wharton, you're only at the ninth rank. Even after transforming, you are only an early-stage Saint.” Bebe flew over here and said unhappily, “Do you think your level of insight is comparable to the Boss of twelve years ago?”

Although he was also an early-stage Saint after transforming, in terms of insight, Wharton was far inferior to Linley.

“I'll go with the Boss. Shit, if one dragon comes we'll kill one dragon; if two comes, we'll kill one, then capture the other one to use as a mount.” Bebe was extremely boastful, but he had the strength to back it up. After the past twelve years, Bebe's power was far stronger than it had been twelve years ago as well.

Wharton nodded and laughed. “Since you are going as well, Bebe, then I won't be worried at all.”

The squad was thus decided as being: Linley, Bebe, Delia, and the three kids. Delia was responsible for taking care of the kids, and Bebe's job was to protect them. As for Linley…he would deal with any Saint-level dragons.

….

The skies stretched off far into the distance, and a few white clouds were drifting here and there. A ten-meter long magical beast was soaringthrough the air at high speed. It was the transformed Bebe, with Delia, Cena, Taylor, and Sasha on his back.

Delia had cast a magic spell to form a protective invisible barrier, preventing the wind from scraping against the children's bodies.

“Wow…Mother, that city is the biggest one I've ever seen.” Taylor pointed below at a 'fist-sized' city. Although the city seemed small from up above, the size of this 'fist' was actually a huge space.

A complicated look was in Delia's eyes. Sighing, she said, “That is my homeland, the imperial capital of the Yulan Empire.”

“The imperial capital of the Yulan Empire?” Taylor, Sasha, and Cena all looked down.

“Hungry yet?” Delia withdrew some food they had brought along from the interspatial ring. Bebe had transformed to ten meters in length, and his back was naturally very wide. Given that Delia had then used magic to block the wind, this made Sasha, Cena, and Taylor feel as stable as when they were on the ground.

They sat down and began to enjoy the food.

Bebe flew very stably, with no turbulence at all.

“Delia, don't pamper those kids too much.” Linley, flying alongside Bebe, said with a laugh as he saw this.
