Wang Long was taken aback for a moment, but then he quickly realized, saying, "Is it because of the Dragon Soul within me?! That's fine, I'm already used to it."
Zhang Tailai nodded and said, "That's right, it's because of the Dragon Soul! But don't worry, even though I have developed a dislike for you due to the sealed Dragon Soul inside you, the orders from the Dragon Head take precedence over everything! I will not let personal feelings affect other matters. I will do my utmost to teach you and help you grow as quickly as possible."
"I will be strict and even harsh, but don't think that I am targeting you."
Upon hearing this, Wang Long not only did not feel any resentment but rather appreciated this straightforward man and couldn't help but smile, saying, "You can rest assured, I definitely won't."
Zhang Tailai seemed quite satisfied as well and nodded, saying, "That's good. Now, let's begin the formal Dragon Martial Training!"
"You should know that aside from the Dragon Soul, our training system in Dragon City consists of two aspects: internal and external cultivation. This means two paths: by absorbing Dragon Qi to break through the Dragon Vein within your body, thereby improving your cultivation level and enhancing your strength, which is called Inner Cultivation; and by releasing Dragon Qi and engaging in combat through various Martial Arts techniques, which is referred to as Dragon Technique or Dragon Arts. This is the external aspect."
"Everyone can learn Dragon Technique from their Family Tradition's martial arts. It involves using different Martial Arts Techniques in conjunction with the Dragon Qi within their bodies for combat; however, Dragon Arts are more profound. They were created by our ancestors through research on various Divine Techniques of the dragon race. These Dragon Arts are rarely found in Family Traditions; only a few Orthodox Families with thousand-year legacies possess them. For ordinary disciples to gain access to the secrets of Dragon Arts, there is only one path: joining Dragon Martial Arts or Dragon Hidden!"
"Although everyone should have some understanding of both Dragon Technique and Dragon Arts, a person's energy is always limited. Therefore, one must focus on their training to maximize their combat power. So, will you choose Dragon Technique or Dragon Arts as your primary path of cultivation?"
Wang Long had read extensively since childhood. Although he could not cultivate due to the sealing of his Dragon Vein, his theoretical knowledge was far superior to that of his peers, giving him a broader perspective.
Zhang Tailai's experimental suggestions were things he was already aware of and had considered carefully. Thus, without hesitation, he said, "I choose to cultivate both Dragon Techniques!"
Wang Long's decision was not impulsive or driven by youthful greed; rather, it was the best choice he made after careful consideration of his actual situation.
It should be noted that his body was still sealed with the Dragon Vein and he could not absorb Dragon Qi through various Martial Arts for cultivation. His only advantage lay in resonating with the Dragon Soul to gain innate Divine Ability—growing stronger through battle!
Therefore, his focus naturally shifted towards rapidly increasing his combat power!
By abandoning most internal Martial Arts used for foundational training, he also freed up more time to simultaneously cultivate both Dragon Technique and Dragon Arts to further enhance his combat capabilities.
However, Zhang Tailai frowned and shook his head, saying, "I have seen many young people who had even greater potential than you all. Yet none dared to act recklessly like you! Don't think that just because your talent is decent you can be greedy; if both paths hinder your progress later on, it will be too late for regrets!"
Wang Long smiled and said, "I understand the elder's intention very well, but only I know my own situation. The choice I made was carefully considered, and even if there are problems in the end, I will bear them alone."
Zhang Tailai was not one to linger on matters, and immediately replied, "That's good. Tell me about your current situation!"
Wang Long responded, "I have broken through the Three Dragon Veins, my Dragon Arts Foundation is at zero, and I have only practiced the Dragon Fist. That's it."
Zhang Tailai frowned slightly and shook his head, saying, "Your Foundation is quite weak. This means you currently possess the cultivation of the Three Dragon Veins but know almost nothing about how to utilize it..."
"Alright, listen closely. The so-called Dragon Technique..."
Zhang Tailai was straightforward in his approach. Upon seeing Wang Long's weak Foundation, he immediately began explaining from the most fundamental aspects, elaborating on the application of Dragon Techniques in a clear and accessible manner.
Although Wang Long had read extensively since childhood and had a broad perspective, many crucial points were not easily understood just by reading. At this moment, as he listened to Zhang Tailai's explanations, he felt as if a fog had lifted, and many previously obstructed areas were suddenly cleared. It was as if streams of water were flowing through him, bringing a sense of relief and clarity.
One was knowledgeable with profound cultivation; the other had been well-read since childhood and was intelligent. With one explaining and the other listening, half a day passed in no time.
As dusk approached, Zhang Tailai finally shared all his insights regarding Dragon Techniques. Noticing the brilliance in Wang Long's eyes, it was clear that he fully understood his points, which made Zhang Tailai feel a sense of appreciation.
Wang Long was overjoyed and thanked Zhang Tailai, saying, "This explanation has opened my mind completely; my understanding of Dragon Techniques has deepened tremendously! Thank you, Elder Zhang!"
Zhang Tailai replied calmly, "It's nothing. Your understanding is due to your own talent. However, understanding is one aspect; what’s more important is diligent practice. This is a Dragon Technique I created myself. It has three stages and is suitable for those who have broken through the Three Dragon Veins. It is called Thunderclap Sky Splitter! You can practice it on your own. As for Dragon Arts, we will need to assess your physical condition tomorrow before determining which attribute you are suited to cultivate."
Wang Long took the scroll of Thunderclap Sky Splitter and nodded.
He knew that Dragon Arts were divided into various attributes such as wind, thunder, water, wood, and fire. Just like dragons themselves, everyone has an attribute that suits them best. Only by cultivating Dragon Arts that align with one's own attributes can one achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Suddenly, Zhang Tailai shouted loudly, "Today's training ends here; everyone please return! Tomorrow at the hour of the rabbit (5 AM), come here on time to continue training. Anyone who arrives even a moment late will be immediately expelled from Dragon Martial Arts—no exceptions! Do you hear me?"
Many disciples responded in unison, "Yes!" and then they dispersed in groups. Li Xinghe, Liu Chengyan, and Jiang Xue walked over to bid farewell to Zhang Tailai.
Zhang Tailai stopped Liu Chengyan and said, "Take the new arrival, Wang Long, to the Dragon Martial Arts Station and find a room for him to rest."
Liu Chengyan accepted the task and said goodbye to Zhang Tailai and Li Xinghe before leading Wang Long away.
Jiang Xue merely bowed to Zhang Tailai and left without looking back.
Liu Chengyan watched Jiang Xue's departing figure and sighed, "What a beautiful woman, yet she is like a block of ice, unreachable by anyone. What a pity..."
Wang Long noticed that Liu Chengyan was straightforward and genuine, which he found quite likable. He smiled and said, "Alright, enough with the sighing. Let's head back to rest; we need to start our training early tomorrow."
The Dragon Martial Arts Station was vast. Although there were over a hundred disciples under Zhang Tailai's command, there were still many empty rooms available in the station.
Liu Chengyan led Wang Long to the room between himself and Jiang Xue. After tidying up a bit, he intended to take his leave and let Wang Long rest first.
However, just as he reached the door, he suddenly turned around with a serious expression and said to Wang Long, "I am curious. On the day of the Dragon Gate Ceremony, weren't you dead? How did you come back to life? Is it related to the Dragon Duel sealed within you?!"
