Chapter 235 Martial Dragon Advancement: Six Major Paths (Key Chapter)
"Garos, why are you asking so many questions about Elena? She's my princess, you can't take her from me! If you like princesses, wait for the civil war in the Federation and go take one from another kingdom."
"Iron Dragon Gorton said warily."
Hearing these foolish words, Red Iron Dragon chuckled: "What I'm after isn't the princess, but the interests she represents. Gorton, don't reveal our existence to Princess Elena yet."
Gordon relaxed considerably.
Garros thought for a moment and said, "Your task now is to play your role well, try your best to please Princess Elena, make her trust you more, and let her feel the steadiness and reliability of dragons."
"I will let you know what to do when the time is right."
The Federation is currently on the verge of chaos, and tensions between nations are escalating, but it's not yet time for a breakdown. Given the current situation, directly approaching Princess Elena to discuss cooperation might not garner sufficient attention.
It would be best to wait until war breaks out, heroes rise up, and internal strife becomes a foregone conclusion.
Then, at the right time, hand Princess Elena a 'knife,' giving her the fuse to start a wildfire. At that point, even if it comes at a high price, she will most likely choose to seize it regardless of everything.
Moreover, the Ironforge tribe is currently located in a remote area at the border, a region that is not valued by the other nations.
They are not qualified to get a share of the profits from the federal civil war.
"At the very least, I must become the king of the borderlands and fight my way back to the Sel Wilderness."
Galos thought to himself.
It has been more than ten years since the Federation forced them to the border from the Sel Wilderness.
While I can't say I have any real feelings for the wilderness, nor do I have any obsession with developing there, considering the abundance of resources available in the wilderness, from a purely economic perspective, it would be better to return to the wilderness rather than remain huddled in the border area.
Red Iron Dragon narrowed his eyes, a glint of ambition flashing in his pupils.
The purpose of lying low and enduring is precisely to reveal oneself at the most opportune moment.
The internal turmoil in the Union will be the best opportunity to realize grand ambitions.
At that time, Galos felt that not only himself, but many powerful creatures with hidden ambitions might choose to show their strength, seize profits in the chaos, and plunder Federation resources.
For example, Garus's red dragon father.
The chaotic and evil young red dragon, as long as he is alive, once he learns of the internal strife within the Federation, given his vengeful nature, he will certainly not let this opportunity pass and will launch a fierce attack and retaliation against the Federation.
And there are many other creatures like this that once feared the Federation and had to endure it.
"We need to take over the other tribes as soon as possible."
"When the war breaks out, I need to be fully prepared."
Galos pondered in his heart.
"Mission accomplished!"
At the same time, Iron Dragon Goldton said confidently.
After giving Gorton some more details to keep in mind, the Ignas siblings chatted for a few minutes before Sorog's psionic energy was depleted, and the 'group chat' meeting temporarily ended.
"Sorog, go to the Poison Tail tribe as soon as possible and find out their attitude."
"The border area is just the beginning for us. We need to take it over as soon as possible for future development. We can't delay any longer."
Galos's serious, deep voice resonated in Sorog's heart through the bloodline.
The previous situation, where he acted as a conduit to communicate with several blood kinship chains simultaneously, was quite energy-intensive. However, single-line communication did not consume much psionic energy, which Sorog could now handle.
"Okay, leave this to me."
Sorog responded.
Galos nodded slightly, ending the conversation between the blood relatives.
"They're both Iron Dragons, but the difference in mentality between Sorog and Gorton is like they're two different species."
He sighed and thought, "Individual differences are huge, and the collective impressions passed down may have some merit, but we must not believe them completely, otherwise we will suffer sooner or later."
Galus was never perfect; he admitted that he would make mistakes, overlook things, and be careless at times.
For example, he was actually fooled by the silver dragon's smiling face and almost got beaten up.
However, Galus's strength lies in his ability to summarize and reflect on his own problems, rather than blaming external factors for problems like other dragons, or most intelligent beings, while refusing to acknowledge their own shortcomings and remaining stagnant.
"I've rested enough."
Red Iron Dragon stretched its body, and a metallic clanging sound came from its body.
He turned to look at Deborah and saw the Crimson Silver Dragon sleeping on the cliff face, its long tail dangling in the air and swaying gently from side to side, showing no intention of getting up.
I glanced at the sun high in the sky.
Galos was about to start a new round of training, but as soon as he took a step, he suddenly felt a swelling sensation in his body.
He stopped and carefully sensed his body, discovering that the dragon energy had reached 39%.
This means that his combat level is now 3.9, which is the Great Perfection of Level 3, and he is halfway to Level 4.
"With a level 3.9 dragon aura, I need to choose the Martial Dragon branch path."
Galos pondered.
Logically, when Martial Dragon reached level 3, he should have chosen a specific path, but since he didn't have a specific idea, he put it aside for the time being.
Branch paths also represent subsequent advanced routes.
For a regular monk, there are many routes to choose from after reaching level 3.
The Life Flow Sect can provide you with rapid healing.
The Sun Soul Sect member's entire body was burning with energy as intense as the blazing sun.
The Divine Dragon Sect, which imitates the posture of a dragon.
The Four Symbols School manipulates and drives the elements through 'qi'.
The Sanda School, which develops combat skills to the extreme.
The Shadow Sect pursues the art of concealment and escape.
The Eternal Death Sect studies death and possesses the deadliest fighting style.
The Drunken Fist School is known for its bizarre and unpredictable fighting techniques.
Seiga Sō is a sect that condenses invisible ki forms and fights using ki substitutes.
As for Martial Dragon.
This profession, which originated from the monk martial arts school, has no further branches such as the Dragon School, the Life Flow School, and the Drunken Fist School.
Four Symbols Dragon, Sun Soul Dragon, Striker Dragon, Shadow Dragon, Eternal Death Dragon, Star Dragon. Garos needs to choose from these six paths in order to specialize in his development.
"I want them all, but unfortunately, trying to have too much will only lead to getting nothing."
Simultaneously pursuing multiple paths will only cause your combat level to stagnate and become extremely difficult to improve.
The correct approach is to first choose a route, and only consider pursuing other routes when your level is high enough and it becomes difficult to continue.
Dragons have long lifespans.
Ancient dragons, prehistoric dragons, and archaic dragons generally have multiple roles, and each role also has different specializations. Therefore, when fighting creatures of the same life level, they can almost always crush those creatures with short lifespans.
Getting back to the main point, each of the six routes in Martial Arts Dragon has its own unique characteristics.
Although choosing a path doesn't mean you're stuck on it forever, it at least means focusing on it for a considerable period. Galos needs to carefully consider his current situation and future plans to make the most suitable choice.
"I am now facing two main directions."
"First, I will continue to strengthen my combat skills and increase my stats, pushing them to their limits."
"Second, I will enrich and expand my methods and choose a systematic approach."
Galos pondered to himself.
After careful consideration, he concluded that choosing a more structured approach was better.
His base stats are already high enough, and they continue to increase with his training, but with his current evolutionary talent, it's difficult for him to evolve special 'mechanisms'.
The combination of job mechanics and individual stats might produce some strange changes.
Thinking about this, my mind suddenly became clear.
"If expanding the mechanism is the primary choice, then we must choose one of the three paths: the Four Symbols Dragon, the Eternal Dragon, or the Star Dragon."
The Four Symbols Dragon's mechanics are the most straightforward—it uses Qi to control the elements, thereby creating effects similar to elemental magic. The Four Symbols Martial Dragon also has the most dazzling and numerous skills.
Breath of Winter, Thunder Claw, Mountain Protection, Wind Climbing Steps, Clear Stream Whip, Wind Spirit Charge, Flying Flame Strike
Unfortunately.
Even though it manipulates elements, Martial Dragon's skills mostly use elements to enhance its own attack or defense, which is essentially a continuation of melee combat.
However, being able to control the four elements means that he can counter any enemy with any attribute, making Garos's skills quite comprehensive.
Unlike the Four Symbols Dragon, the Eternal Dragon and the Star Dragon have very few skills, but they are extremely powerful.
"Eternal Martial Dragon - can be summarized as, death is like the wind, always by my side."
"All the skills I've mastered are related to death."
"The Rebirth Mantra extracts the life energy of the target when it is killed, temporarily increasing the maximum lifespan, which is like adding another layer of defense."
"Holding life and death in one's hands means being able to control life and death in an instant. When one's life value reaches zero, if there is still dragon energy remaining, one can convert the dragon energy into life and unleash another burst of power."
"The Eternal Death Touch attack carries death energy. It kills any creature whose life strength is lower than its own by a certain amount. It is an instant kill."
The Eternal Dragon's skills are very powerful.
The problem is that to become stronger on this path, training and brutal combat alone are not enough; one must get infinitely close to death and comprehend the true meaning of death in order to maximize the effectiveness of the skills.
Without a doubt, this is a very dangerous road.
Galos coveted the Eternal Death Dragon's abilities, but he was also certain that he wouldn't rashly engage in a death match, as getting too close to death could easily mean real death.
"Hoshiga Ryu's route is quite interesting, it's like a Stand attack."
"At the very beginning, Star Dragon can condense the Star Arm, which is invisible to the naked eye. It is the Dragon Qi Substitute Arm, which can be used to launch additional attacks and launch a ferocious offensive unexpectedly. It can also overlap the Dragon Qi Arm with the main body arm to instantly enhance the burst of power."
"At level 6, you can obtain the Star Appearance. In this state, you can have true vision, your attacks become more accurate, and all your senses are enhanced in all aspects."
"There is also the Star Body, which can attach to oneself like an invisible armor, and can deflect or even reflect various kinds of damage such as strong acid, freezing, fire, force field, lightning, and thunder."
"After reaching level 17, the dragon energy can condense into a complete substitute, which can be separated from the body or added to the main body for combat."
The Four Symbols Dragon, the Eternal Dragon, and the Star Dragon.
Each of the three routes has its own unique mechanism, and after a moment's thought, Galus did not decide on a final outcome.
"Actually, there's no need to worry too much. Time is on my side, and I will master all these different skills sooner or later. Right now, I'm just choosing one of them as my main skill."
Red Iron Dragon thought to himself, "There's still some time before I break through to level 4. In the meantime, I'll make a final choice between the Four Symbols Dragon and the Star Dragon."
Garus, who was cautious by nature and valued his life, first ruled out the path of the eternally dead dragon.
If we really choose this path, then it won't just be Martial Dragon, but Death Dragon.
After calming his mind, Red Iron Dragon used an alchemical tool to activate the super gravity field and began a new round of training in the sunlight.
