Daily AFK life from a young dragon

Chapter 5 Fighting Qi and Enhanced Magic

"Physical growth is also crucial."

After finishing his meal, Leon returned to his own residence in the dragon's nest and thought.

Although dragons are magical creatures, their physical strength is their strongest aspect.

For most dragons, spells are used to deal with minions.

When dealing with a truly powerful enemy, the dragon will make greater use of its powerful body.

"Besides natural growth, is there any way to make the body stronger?"

Leon had been thinking about this question a few months ago.

And when it "read" the Black Dragon's inheritance, it actually found a lot of methods.

More advanced ones, such as swallowing the essence of a dragon with the same attributes and more powerful bloodline.

At a lower level, they fight and kill. After a dragon recovers from the injuries it has suffered during battles and killings, its physical strength and power will often increase slightly.

If you do it more often, the improvement you get shouldn't be underestimated.

For Leon, the former method does not have the conditions, and the latter is too dangerous.

Letting a dragon that is less than half a year old go through life-and-death battles just to gain a little bit of improvement is simply insane.

Because a young dragon is in one of the stages where its strength increases the fastest, its natural eating and sleeping patterns will change slightly almost every day.

Only those dragons whose power increase has slowed down, or those young men who are not afraid of death, are suitable for this dangerous method.

In addition to the above two methods, there are some more normal methods.

Among these normal methods, Leon selected two that he could currently do and studied them.

One is fighting spirit.

The other is to strengthen the spell.

Let’s talk about fighting first.

Fighting Qi is a very popular and widely spread cultivation system in this world.

It is essentially the same as a spellcaster cultivating powerful mental power.

The caster sharpens his mental power, then uses it to capture the ubiquitous elements in space, refining them into magic with his own unique mark.

The process of casting a spell is to use one's mental power to 'draw' the spell pattern in the mind, and then use the magic power in the body to attract the elements in the external space, and finally achieve the casting of the spell.

What about the warriors who practice fighting spirit?
Use willpower to capture the elements in the space, and use these elements to nourish and strengthen the body according to a specific circulation route. When the body is strong enough, a pure and extremely destructive energy will be born - fighting spirit.

When the fighting spirit is still weak, it can only circulate inside the body to increase the strength and speed of the body.

When the fighting spirit is strong enough, it can be extended to weapons, and even leave the body, erupting with terrifying destructive power.

For some creatures who have cultivated their fighting spirit to an extremely high level, the fighting spirit out of their bodies can even split mountains and cut off rivers.

Leon suspected that the guy who left several sword scars deep enough to see the bones on the Dragon Mother's body was most likely a powerful man who had cultivated his fighting spirit to an extremely high level.

Even the dragon scales of an adult black dragon, which are many times harder than fine steel and have various powerful resistances, were split open and penetrated deep into the bones and internal organs. This destructive power is truly terrifying.

Perhaps it was impossible to split a mountain with one sword, but Leon had no doubt that he could split a small hill.

"I have been practicing Black Water Fighting Qi for a while now, but I still can't get started." Leon thought silently in his heart.

Only after getting started can it be transformed into runes and then loaded into the hang-up slot for improvement.

Although cultivating fighting spirit does not require as much talent as cultivating mental strength, it does require sufficient time.

Simply put, it requires hard and diligent work.

Day and night, use willpower to capture the free elements in space and use them to nourish the body until fighting spirit is born. The caster must do the same.

But becoming a spellcaster requires two thresholds: one is a strong spiritual force, and the other is elemental affinity.

If you fail to meet the two prerequisites, there will be no future for you no matter how hard you work.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be called the noble wizard.

However, there is no prerequisite for practicing Dou Qi. It is nothing more than the difference in talent, the speed of practice, and the upper limit.

As a top-notch magical creature, the dragon's mental strength will naturally increase over time. Needless to say, its elemental affinity is comparable to that of the greatest geniuses among humans.

For example, Leon, who is a black dragon, has an affinity with the water element and can clearly observe the free water elements in the space.

With powerful mental strength and top affinity for the water element, as long as you learn the corresponding spell knowledge, casting spells will be easy.

But it is different with Dou Qi. Even if you can clearly observe the elemental power and successfully capture it, it is difficult to use the elemental power to nourish your body quickly.

But no matter what, Leon is also a dragon. Although he does not have a particularly huge advantage in cultivating fighting spirit, his progress is also quite fast.

"In another ten days, or maybe twenty days, in about this time, I should be able to cultivate the Black Water Dou Qi."

After cultivating Dou Qi, it can not only be used to increase one's own strength and destructive power, but the Dou Qi itself, as a pure energy, will slowly nourish the body and become stronger.

In the inherited memory, even a weak human, once they cultivate their fighting spirit to an extremely high level, the sheer physical strength will allow them to fight monsters in hand-to-hand combat.

"There are also strengthening spells." Leon's mind moved.

In addition to selecting a fighting spirit suitable for black dragon cultivation from the dragon heritage, it also chose a trick called "Weak Power Amplification" to learn.

Leon's current mental strength is still a little far from practicing the first level of spells, so he can only choose from the magic tricks, and among the magic tricks, the number of enhanced spells is not that large.

There are only a few types of things that increase strength, agility, and speed.

And the effects are all very weak, otherwise it wouldn't be called 'weak power amplification'.

However, with the improvement of the hang-up slot, the effect of the level 0 enhanced trick may be very poor, but the level 10 enhanced trick should be different.

Leon closed his eyes, his mind sank into the empty space, and he saw the hexagonal groove.

In the void space, in addition to the hexagonal groove, there are two runes.

One is the [Zero Ring Trick: Small Water Ball Technique] which cannot be upgraded after reaching level 10.

The other one is the [Zero Ring Trick: Weak Strength Amplification] which I have been learning for a while.
-
[Zero Ring Trick: Weak Power Amplification]

[Level: Level 1 (2/10)]

This enhanced trick was not upgraded through the idle slot. The reason why it was upgraded from level zero to the current level one was naturally due to Leon's own efforts.

It was for this reason that Leon discovered that practicing magic was really quite torturous for the dragon.

Getting started with spells may not be difficult, but if you want to continuously refine your spells, shorten your casting time, and increase your spell power, that really requires talent, time, and hard work, with talent playing a large role.

The talent here does not refer to the strength of mental power or affinity with elements, but the understanding and application of magical knowledge.

Whenever Leon learns this spell, this sentence comes to his mind:

What you can’t learn, you just don’t know, just like a math problem you don’t know how to solve.

Relying on his relatively tenacious character, Leon spent quite some time upgrading this enhanced trick to the first level, and then he discovered.

Each level is more difficult than the previous one.

Each level is more brain-burning than the previous one.
