As mentioned earlier, the dragon clan's secret techniques can be divided into three categories: dragon power, magic, and martial arts.
The dragon race's body is stronger than other monster races, so martial arts are the easiest to learn and the quickest to show results, but only low-level dragons will learn this. Those with a little ambition know that the upper limit is too low, and it can only be used for barely self-defense, and they cannot waste too much time on it.
Magic spells have relatively large range, strong power, and long killing distance, so many dragons are obsessed with studying magic powers, and they are considered the most mainstream faction at present.
But only Dragon's Might is difficult to learn and master, but once learned, it has no flaws and has endless uses, so it is valued by the top leaders of the Dragon Clan.
The secret of magical powers that Shi Yao taught to Long Long included many dragon powers, spells, and martial arts, but the first requirement she put forward was to thoroughly master the "Ten Directions Dragon Power".
"Flying on clouds and mist, calling the wind and rain, these spells only need to be learned, and there is no need to practice too much." Shi Yao said at the time, "But the dragon power must be practiced to the level of moving as desired and receiving and sending at will. Even when facing a high-level monster, it must be able to at least intimidate the opponent for three breaths. Only then can it be considered to be practiced to perfection."
"High-level demon race?" Long Long asked to confirm, "What is considered a high-level demon race?"
"Someone like Gui Ling'er is fine." Shi Yao replied slowly.
So Long Long found Gui Ling'er and asked her to be his Long Wei practice partner.
"After we finished dual cultivation, you threw me aside like a piece of trash. Now that you need me, you come back to me, right?" Gui Ling'er asked coldly, crossing her arms.
"What do you mean by discarded like a worn-out shoe?" Long Long said helplessly, "We are purely in a cooperative relationship, okay? Isn't it normal to separate after the cooperation?"
"Really?" Gui Ling'er asked in confusion, "Since we haven't finished practicing the combined attack technique, we can say that we've finished the 'cooperation', right? How about you find that fox to be your dragon power practice partner?"
What on earth is this little turtle jealous of? I have nothing to do with you! Long Long had no choice but to use his best method of changing the subject:
"By the way, how did the conversation between your clan leader and our clan leader go?"
"You don't know this either?" Gui Ling'er said unhappily, "We haven't reached an agreement yet. Your clan leader's asking price is too high."
"You want territory, right?" Long Long asked thoughtfully.
"What a joke!" Gui Ling'er rolled her eyes at him. "It's just a negotiation of alliance, but you want us to cede our land? Do you think we are seeking peace after being defeated?"
Long Long burst into laughter:
"Really? It seems that the Suzaku clan is more sincere!"
"Nanzhou is willing to cede land?" Gui Ling'er was shocked. "How is that possible? Is the Vermilion Bird Clan crazy? They would rather cede land to you than seek an alliance?"
"This shows that the Vermilion Bird Clan has a strategic vision." Long Long said with a smile, "It is impossible for them to cooperate with Qilin. In other words, even if they compromise and surrender to the other side, Qilin will not trust them. After all, when Qi Weihuan was in power, he had been suppressing Nanzhou for decades."
"If you don't cooperate with Qilin, you can only come to us, the Dragon Clan. Otherwise, how can you form an alliance with your Xuanwu? One of you is in the South Province and the other is in the North Province. Your territories are not adjacent to each other, and you can't support each other during war. Coming to us, the Dragon Clan, is the best choice."
"Damn it." Gui Ling'er felt like she couldn't refute it, so she complained, "Then why don't the three of us form an alliance and destroy Qilin and Baihu together? Wouldn't that be better? After Zhuniao forms an alliance with you, it will definitely not join Qilin anyway."
"So that depends on the price you offer." Long Long said calmly, "If the price is high enough, the three parties will form an alliance and attack Zhongzhou together; if the price is not high enough, it will be a mutual protection of the southeast, and we will watch you fight each other."
"But ceding land is definitely impossible." Gui Ling'er emphasized, "Anyone who dares to ask for it will definitely be regarded as a traitor and reviled by the tribe, and even be infamous for eternity."
"How about this?" Long Long made a suggestion at the right time. "If you help me practice Dragon Power, I will accept your favor and help you talk to the clan leader. How about that? Of course, I am a nobody and cannot guarantee that it will work."
"Hmm..." Gui Ling'er looked conflicted, but she was secretly happy in her heart.
She had actually been planning to agree to it in order to test Long Long's strength, but she did not expect such an unexpected surprise.
Long Long was also secretly proud of himself.
He had no intention of persuading Qin Beiwang, he just wanted to coax Xiaogui. Why should he cash the verbal check he wrote based on his own ability?
"Okay." Gui Ling'er pretended to be extremely conflicted, and finally agreed, "Being intimidated by the dragon's might is very tiring. You must help me persuade your clan leader!"
"Of course." Long Long also pretended to be serious and said, "I..."
"Pay attention." Kunlun Mirror suddenly reminded, "You are a persistent character. Don't confuse it with a hypocritical character! If you rashly make a promise and fail to fulfill it, be careful of reducing your synchronization value!"
Long Long thought to himself, I almost forgot, and immediately said seriously:
"I will naturally convey your intention to the clan leader. As for whether the clan leader listens or not, that is not up to me to decide."
"Yeah." Gui Ling'er didn't expect Long Long to change the decision of the entire dragon clan, so she agreed after hearing it.
Then, Long Long finally realized why Shi Yao asked him and Gui Ling'er to practice Long Wei.
The Black Turtle Clan has a magical talent called "shrinking the shell", which allows them to release their demonic power to form a protective shield around them, blocking most of the damage from attacks, and even reducing a lot of the dragon's might.
Long Long unleashed the Ten Directions Dragon Power, but the little turtle shrank back into its golden shell, showing no reaction to the shock. It kept asking, "Did you unleash the Dragon Power?" Long Long was so angry that he gritted his teeth and gathered all his energy, determined to teach Gui Ling'er a lesson.
This dragon power is a bit like a combination of illusion and spell. On the one hand, it does have an effect similar to illusion. When it is activated, there is no trace and no way to dodge; on the other hand, it can cause actual physical damage.
For example, in the Demon Locking Tower in the past, when Yinglong's father-in-law displayed the dragon's power, it was an overwhelming pressure of 360 degrees. Qiu Changtian could hardly stand steadily in the air while flying his sword and felt dizzy. This shows how strong the dragon's power is.
The dragon power that Long Long is exerting now is probably similar to the feeling of a small hammer. Although it can kill a person with just one hammer hit in the face, it is not enough when facing someone like Gui Ling'er who can resist illusions.
After practicing for a long time, there was still no effect, so Gui Ling'er reminded:
"How about you go ask other Dragon Clan elders?"
Long Long thought so too. It would not be efficient to work in isolation. I am not like Ling Yunpo who has no master. Why don’t I ask other dragon elders for advice?
"Remember to help me persuade your clan leader!" Gui Ling'er reminded him again before leaving.
After Long Long said goodbye to Gui Ling'er, he went to find the clan leader Qin Beiwang.
The clan leader was presiding over a meeting of senior elders and it took him a long time to leave the hall and come to see Long Long.
"Chief." Long Long was about to bow and speak, but Qin Beiwang waved his hand and said:
"You've come just in time. I was just looking for you."
"Now Xuanwu and Zhuniao both want something from me. What do you think of the current situation?"
