Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 104: Noah is brutally disciplined

"what happened?"

When his adoptive father cast his eyes towards him, Noah, who was originally gently shaking his tail, appreciating the beauty of his technique and enjoying the leisurely scenery of the mountains, rivers, sky and land, suddenly had a bad premonition.

"How much do you remember?"

When Noah was confused and feeling uneasy, Cassius suddenly asked.

"How much of what do you remember?"

Noah was really confused and his tail stopped wagging because he realized that his adoptive father's eyes were on his tail.

"Of course it's the fighting techniques I practiced!"

The way Cassius looked at Noah had changed. He looked at the golden dragon in front of him and recalled how many times his partner had sighed and commented in his ear.

Noah is a genius in all fields. It seems that nothing in this world can stump him, and there is no knowledge that he cannot learn!
He didn't know how many times he had heard such comments, so much so that after hearing them so many times, he completely ignored them and didn't take them to heart.

After all, geniuses in the field of magic and geniuses in close combat are completely different and cannot be lumped together.

But now Cassius had to admit that he had indeed been negligent. Selina's evaluation was not wrong at all, but rather quite accurate.

Fortunately, however, it is not too late for him to discover it now, and he has enough time and energy to correct and make up for this mistake.

"Fighting techniques? I don't remember them!"

Noah said subconsciously that it was true that he watched his adoptive father practicing techniques in his territory from beginning to end, but he was just appreciating it and did not try to memorize it deliberately.

This is a technique suitable for humanoid creatures, so what use is it for a long golden dragon like him? If he really wants to learn it, he has to use Transfiguration to transform into a humanoid posture, which is the same as using it. Isn't this just taking off pants to fart, a superfluous move?

"But you have already integrated my techniques into your daily behavior and instincts."

Hearing Noah's answer, Cassius's eyes changed more obviously, it was surprise and admiration. He pointed at the golden dragon's tail and reminded Noah,

"You have already learned the whip technique I just demonstrated!"

"..."

Noah's tail stiffened. He had never expected that just because he was in a good mood, he subconsciously shook his tail and actually attracted the attention of his adoptive father. It was really unbelievable that he would get such an evaluation.

It is naturally impossible to question the judgment of his adoptive father. This is the vision of a legend, and not an ordinary legend at that. God knows how many legendary monsters his adoptive father has killed.

How could a being of this level be wrong? Since his adoptive father was right, then he was wrong. If he said he had learned it, then he had learned it. So, how did he learn it?
Noah pondered for a moment, then came up with the answer
Golden Wisdom Fruit

This is the only explanation. Apart from this, Noah really couldn't think of how he could learn the fighting skills that his adoptive father had carefully deduced, and in a subjective and unconscious state.

This understanding is somewhat outrageous.
"It seems you have figured out what's going on."

Watching the changes in Noah's expression, even though he was a dragon, after raising dragons for so many years, Cassius could more or less tell his emotional changes from the changes in his muscles.

"Probably. I learned a little bit."

Noah's tone was full of insecurity and his answer was quite conservative.

"It seems you don't even know how much you've learned."

Cassius was not disappointed by Noah's response, but was quite satisfied.

"very good!"

Noah didn't know what was good about this, and was quite confused. He didn't know what to do, and wanted to run away, until his adoptive father threw a dozen weapons in front of him. The golden dragon was completely numb.

"Demonstrate all the combat techniques I practiced earlier, and follow your own feelings."

"I don't know how to transform into a human!"

Noah picked up a two-handed sword that was used as a toothpick for him and said innocently.

"You can."

Cassius stared at Noah, with golden light flashing in his eyes.

"No, I haven't learned it."

"Then learn now."

"But this is difficult. It's not something you can learn in a short time."

Noah tried to explain, to salvage the situation a little, but this sudden incident was about to lead him to an abyss of unknown depth.

"Selina has already exclaimed in front of me many times that you are a genius in all fields. No matter what spell it is, as long as you take a look at it, you will be able to remember it and master and release it in a very short time."

Cassius ignored Jin Long's explanation. He had seen through this guy.
"It's not that you don't know how to transform a human, it's that you don't want to learn it. Now, you need to learn it."

"Uncle, the human form is too fragile for me. Actively weakening myself is, in my opinion, a foolish act."

No matter what kind of dragon it is, once it performs the human transformation technique, its physical fitness will definitely drop drastically. The metal dragons that have mastered the technique can still maintain 60% to 70% of their original combat power after transforming into humans.

But if the color dragons didn't know magic and turned into humans, they might not even be able to keep 30% of their original combat power. This is why the attitudes of the two dragon tribes towards the spell of Transfiguration are so different.

"I became a human and mastered the techniques you demonstrated, but what's the point of this for me? I can't use them in battle."

While explaining, Noah also expressed his confusion. His adoptive father's sudden attention to him could not be a momentary interest, and it seemed that he was planning to teach him.

But why would he learn human fighting techniques?
"Is it really useless?"

Facing Noah's question, Cassius did not get angry, but asked back,

"Haven't you successfully assimilated it? It has even become your daily instinctive action. This is the subtlety and magic of the technique. Do you think the techniques used by humanoid creatures are the same? No, they are completely different. Can dwarves and humans use the same techniques? Can giants use human techniques?

The former is impossible, and the latter is unusable. As you just said, it is meaningless for the giants to master human techniques.

But are such techniques useless to them? Of course not, they can draw essence from them and evolve them into the fighting skills they need.

The essence of technique lies in change. It must be constantly changed according to battlefield needs, different physical conditions, and the type and strength of weapons. This is the technique.

If you think that learning human techniques is useless to you, it only means that you don't understand the techniques. You haven't learned enough. When you really master enough combat techniques, you will be able to use them as a basis to create your own dragon techniques. "

"Dragon Technique?"

My adoptive father has already said so much, and if I still find excuses to refuse, I would be ungrateful.

Noah was never an ungrateful dragon. Moreover, his adoptive father's words really convinced Noah.

Among the six ultimate principles, the most difficult to master are the ultimate principles of skill and the ultimate principles of law. Previously, he only wanted to master the ultimate principles of law. As for the ultimate principles of skill, he had no idea at all and planned to ignore and give up.

Now, the path to the ultimate skill is also in front of him. Although he is now reading the Book of All Laws in an orderly manner, he still has a long way to go before he can truly master it.

Faced with the sixth path, even though he knew that the process of mastering it would be particularly difficult, it was impossible to refuse. Not to mention that he was now also interested, just looking at the look on his adoptive father's face, it was obvious that he was not going to let him go.

Eventually, Noah performed Transfiguration, but it was not a human Transfiguration, but a humanoid Transfiguration, Noah chose a humanoid form that could use human weapons, retaining a considerable portion of his dragon features.

Because, these horns are so cool, they must be kept; his dragon wings are so beautiful, they can't disappear; the dragon scales are also very majestic and domineering, they can be turned into armor, and the dragon tail must also be retained, so that when he walks, he looks very powerful.

So, when Noah's custom transformation ended, a dragon-shaped giant appeared in his place. He was more than two meters tall, with dragon horns on his head, dragon scale armor on his body, a pair of dazzling dragon wings stretched out behind him, and a winding dragon tail swinging behind him.

"..."

Seeing Noah's slightly rebellious behavior, Cassius did not make any comment. After all, the reason he tricked the dragon into learning techniques from him was to create his own dragon fighting techniques.

As for the many discomforts and troubles caused in the process of learning from him, he needs to adapt to the changes himself.

"Practice it, let me see how much you have learned!"

Noah picked up the greatsword he had just chosen and began to dance with it. Cassius just watched silently from the side without making any comments. He only reminded him to change weapons and continue after all the sword skills had been practiced once.

This rehearsal lasted for more than three days and three nights, and Noah himself didn't know how much he remembered. Many times, he really relied on instinct and memory to wield the weapon in his hand.

"You are indeed a very talented person. You are even better than I thought."

When Noah put down the long and narrow blade in his hand, after watching Noah's clumsy practice full of mistakes, Cassius gave the Golden Dragon an unexpectedly high evaluation.

“Can this be called good?”

Noah couldn't understand it. He himself felt that his performance was terrible. Most of the time, he felt embarrassed. It was not until his adoptive father urged him to do so that he shamelessly continued.

"If this isn't good, then what is good? You haven't studied seriously, and you're wielding a weapon based on your memory of watching it once. If you can't call yourself a genius, then how stupid was I?"

Cassius asked questions in a row and gave high praise again. The admiration in his eyes was so undisguised that Noah felt a little shy.

Because this is not his real talent, but the understanding he gained after swallowing five wisdom fruits. However, it is no different from his innate talent now.

Noah's heart was a little unsettled when his adoptive father, who he knew was the strongest fighter, praised him like this. However, half a day later, Jin Long suddenly came to his senses. The praise from his adoptive father clearly left him no room to refuse or retreat.

But at this time, Noah, who had already been trained by the dragon slayer Cassius, had no time to regret, which made him wonder;

"Isn't this prepared for that kid Urnos? How did it get trained on me?"

Although Jin Long was complaining in his heart, he didn't dare to even say the word "no" on his face, because his adoptive father was stricter than he had imagined, and many of his demands were simply abnormal.

It has to be said that, although the difficulty of the Ultimate Skill and the Ultimate Law are equal, in Noah's heart, the Ultimate Skill is much more difficult than the Ultimate Law.

When he was pursuing the ultimate meaning of the law, he only needed to hold the spell book and lie down to read it. The process of trying to practice and master it was just a thought. And no one forced him to practice when he wanted to, and stop when he wanted to.

But to practice the ultimate skills, one really needs hard work and sweat, and sometimes even blood. Because, when he was practicing, his adoptive father would suddenly be aroused by him, pick up a weapon, and come up to practice with him.

Although Cassius's control over power has reached a subtle level, he can suppress the power to the same level as Noah.

Even when the strength was equal, Noah felt the despair of being crushed and unable to struggle or resist.

This is so bitter!
Noah had never suffered such a crime since he was born. It really made him sweat, blood and tears. Oh, no, Noah did not shed tears. Jinlong just remembered it silently.

"My dear nephew, you are the one who should suffer here, but now your uncle has to bear the consequences for you."

Noah decided that when Urnos came to receive training, he would train the boy to cry. If he didn't cry, he would not be able to get rid of the depression in his heart.

"Don't be distracted!"

The sword light was as fast as a startling wild goose, and it instantly pierced through Noah's dragon wings. Before the dragon blood could spill out, it flowed back under a burst of light, and the broken muscles reorganized, the broken scales fell off, and new scales began to grow.

It must be said that during the sparring with his adoptive father, Noah gained a new understanding of the strength of his dragon body, which was indeed extraordinary.

His vitality was so strong and his blood was so surging that some tiny penetrating wounds could heal at a speed visible to the naked eye. However, this also made his adoptive father become more casual. He would do whatever he wanted to him without any mercy, without having to kill him with a single blow.

During those difficult and hard times, Noah thought about his little nephew who was trying to survive in the wilderness in the mountains and forests day and night, and he hoped that he could cross the wilderness and come to his training camp as soon as possible.

So, at dawn before the sun rose, when Noah was reattaching his torn dragon wings, he saw a small figure staggering at the foot of the mountain.

"Hahaha, nephew, you're finally here!"

In a state of excitement, Noah released his Transfiguration spell, revealing a 21-meter-long dragon shape, swooping down from the sky like a mad dragon.

"Uncle really missed you so much."
