As Wang Long entered his own residence with Zhang Tailai, he found the place to be quite simple, lacking any unnecessary decorations—just a bed, a table, and two wooden chairs.
"Please, have a seat!" Zhang Tailai said coldly.
Wang Long said nothing more and casually sat down. He then heard Zhang Tailai say, "Originally, to test one's attributes, one only needs to examine the Dragon Qi within. During the process of opening the Dragon Veins, due to varying affinities for different attributes of Dragon Qi, the quantities of each attribute absorbed will naturally differ. We can deduce an individual's attributes based on this. However... your Three Dragon Veins are not like that..."
"Within your Three Dragon Veins, there is a pure presence of Earth, Fire, and Thunder attributes of Dragon Qi. I don't know how you managed this, but clearly, you can no longer determine your attributes solely based on Dragon Qi."
Wang Long's heart stirred; he understood that his breakthrough in the Three Dragon Veins was achieved by the Dragon Soul devouring the Dragon Mound's Dragon Soul, resulting in pure single-attribute Dragon Qi. However, seeing that Zhang Tailai did not pursue the matter further eased his mind considerably.
"So, how should we test it?" Wang Long asked.
"That's simple. I will unleash attacks of all three attributes in turn. We just need to see which type of attack you can withstand best to draw a conclusion."
Wang Long was taken aback; after all, Heaven and Earth Nature contained various attributes, and ordinary people could only cultivate one type of Dragon Arts. Yet this Zhang Tailai could actually cast all three-tiered Dragon Arts?
"Don't get distracted; prepare yourself!" Zhang Tailai commanded in a deep voice. He immediately made a peculiar hand seal and softly chanted a spell. Suddenly, he flipped his palm forward, and a fire serpent erupted from the void—it was a tangible entity made of flames!
"Hmm, Fire Elemental Third Tier Dragon Technique: Fire Serpent's Arrival!"
Wang Long responded with a punch using the well-practiced Dragon Fist.
With a loud bang, a powerful force surged through the air, causing an explosive sound that seemed to evaporate the fire serpent instantly as it slowly dissipated.
"Good! Now take this next move!"
Zhang Tailai flipped his wrist, intertwining his fingers, and suddenly spread them outward!
"Water Dragon Technique, Soaring Dragon!"
Wang Long struck out with a powerful punch, shattering the form of the Jiao Dragon that had been condensed from the water vapor.
In this manner, the Dragon Arts in Zhang Tailai's hands seemed to emerge endlessly, continuously transforming and shifting, showcasing various miraculous techniques that left Wang Long dazzled and both amazed and impressed.
"Shen Walking Dragon Technique, Illusory Sea!" Zhang Tailai unleashed his final move, his fingers flying in a way that made it nearly impossible to discern his actions. Wang Long suddenly felt as if he had plunged into the depths of the ocean.
Endless towering waves instantly enveloped him, making him feel like a mere speck in the vast sea. It was a disorienting experience; no matter which direction he looked, there was nothing but an endless horizon. The meeting of water and sky lay billions of miles away, with no escape in sight.
This sensation made it difficult for him to breathe as a massive tide surged toward him. Yet, there was no tangible harm; it merely pressed him deeper into the ocean's depths, deeper and deeper...
Bang!
With a sudden loud noise, Wang Long was pulled back into reality. However, he felt as if he hadn't fully awakened yet, staring blankly at the tranquil scenery of the small room around him, momentarily unsure of where he was.
Zhang Tailai sighed lightly and said, "It seems you are not quite accustomed to this Shen Walking Dragon Technique! It is an illusion meant to confuse and bind your enemy. Once caught in it, one will fall into a fantasy realm, losing combat ability and even consciousness, with their life controlled by others."
After a while, Wang Long finally regained his senses and felt a bit ashamed as he said, "The Dragon Arts are indeed profound; I still have much to learn!"
"By the way, did the elder manage to test my innate qualities just now?" Wang Long shifted the topic and asked.
Zhang Tailai nodded and said, "The element that suits you best is lightning, just like me! The second is earth, but it's quite far from lightning..."
Wang Long replied, "I see..." He recalled his time at Dragon Mound, where he managed to defeat the Third-Grade Dragon Soul Thunderstorm Dragon despite breaking through two Dragon Veins. That was certainly due to the weakened state of the Thunderstrike Dragon and Dragon Soul, but on the other hand, it was also because of his natural affinity for lightning that allowed him to withstand its attacks.
"I wonder what attributes the other senior brothers possess?" Wang Long asked curiously.
Zhang Tailai did not hide anything and calmly said, "Liu Chengyan has wind affinity, Li Xinghe has both water and fire affinities, and Jiang Xue is unknown."
"Hmm? Li Xinghe actually has dual affinities of water and fire? Truly extraordinary talent! No wonder he can perform the Sun and Moon in the Sky technique with such unmatched power! But Jiang Xue being unknown, even someone of Zhang Tailai's status can't discern it? Or is he intentionally hiding it?"
"Your physique is unique. While others cultivate Dragon Arts by extracting suitable Dragon Qi from within their bodies and then releasing it through incantations and seals, your body does not contain mixed Dragon Qi. Instead, it has three distinct and pure attributes, so you only need to extract from the lightning Dragon Vein."
"This has its pros and cons. On one hand, you skip the purification step that others go through, making it faster and more convenient for you to use Dragon Arts; on the other hand, for now, you can only cultivate these three attributes' Dragon Arts and cannot learn any more."
Wang Long nodded in understanding and smiled, "Biting off more than you can chew isn't wise. Dragon Arts are vast and profound; mastering what suits me best is already a significant improvement."
Zhang Tailai slightly nodded and said calmly, "Very well. I will teach you the Thunder Dragon Technique first. How much you can comprehend and what achievements you can reach in the future depends on yourself."
The so-called Dragon Arts are a set of techniques developed by humans imitating the innate abilities of dragons, utilizing Dragon Qi combined with incantations and seals.
Dragons naturally possess various Divine Abilities, while humans are quite ordinary. However, humans have Spiritual Intelligence, which through generations of exploration and research gradually surpassed the status of dragons and slowly became the rulers of the Kyushu Islands.
"First-level Thunder Dragon Technique: Thunderball!"
Zhang Tailai explained the steps of the technique and then made a gesture. He raised his index finger lightly, and above the tip, a small sphere of lightning, shimmering with brilliant silver-white light, began to swirl!
"This is the most fundamental Thunder Dragon Technique. If you can master this move, I will start teaching you the next level of Dragon Arts..."
Wang Long looked at the flickering floating Thunderball with confidence and nodded, saying, "Alright, I'll give it a try!"
With that, he imitated Zhang Tailai's incantation and hand sign, softly chanting, "Thunderball!"
He raised his right index finger, and with a crackling sound, it seemed as if a flash of Thunderfire passed by. However, it vanished in an instant, leaving only a faint wisp of smoke that slowly dissipated.
"…"
"Don't underestimate Dragon Arts; it is fundamentally different from Dragon Technique: Dragon Technique can be improved through hard work; you will gradually make progress day by day. However, Dragon Arts requires talent and genuine understanding. If you cannot overcome that barrier, then even a hundred years of effort will be in vain; but once you do cross it, you can achieve great strides in a single day..."
Wang Long's youthful spirit was ignited as he nodded vigorously and said, "I understand!"
He immediately followed Zhang Tailai's guidance again, drawing upon the pure lightning Dragon Vein within him to extract Dragon Qi. Combining it with the incantation and hand sign, he slowly released it and instantly felt a powerful surge of energy coursing through his body. A bolt of lightning appeared in his palm!
