Seeing the devastation before her, Mana burst into tears, not only because of her father's death, but also because of fear.

Although she had transformed into a dragon, her mind was still that of a seven or eight-year-old child, and she was at a loss in the face of such a sight.

However, the disaster was not over yet. Mana's Dragon Flame attracted another giant dragon, which was much larger than her and attacked without any warning!

Mana was no match for the dragon and, after a brief defeat, began a great escape.

The Dragon Flame that sprayed her didn't cause any damage, but the Claws and fangs tore her skin open.

Why did you pursue me? Why did you hurt me? She couldn't understand.

The dragon chased her for several days, hurting her without killing her. This torment did not make Mana despair; instead, it made her even stronger!

Later, she transformed back into human form, thus escaping the dragon's pursuit and fleeing to a human town. In this town, Mana met a kind person who was a blacksmith.

The blacksmith was not only exceptionally skilled in ironwork, but also possessed extraordinary abilities. He taught Mana many skills, including the control of strength and mind.

And so she lived in the town for several years, gradually forgetting about the dragon chasing her...

Later, a customer from out of town ordered a finely crafted weapon, Mana encountered the dragon she had been avoiding for so long again while delivering it to the customer!

The dragon sensed Mana's presence and attacked as before. Mana fled in disarray, injured again, but still alive.

She dared not return to town, fearing that the people there would be implicated; she also dared not deliver goods, for fear of encountering the dragon again.

So she left her weapons behind and began her aimless wandering.

Because of her past experiences, she was afraid to go to crowded places and lived a life of hiding until she met Tam.

Teacher Li wanted to continue, but Tam stopped her. "What happens next is irrelevant; let's stop here."

"I want to hear more!" Riven was engrossed in the conversation when Tam interrupted her, which was quite disappointing, but Teacher Li wouldn't go against Tam's wishes.

"So, Yasuo? Did you get the information you wanted?"

"No, the only useful information is that Dragon Race can transform into dragons."

"Actually, I can give you a hint." Tam always liked to keep things mysterious, and I would usually ignore him and he would tell me himself, and this time was no exception:

"You seem to know me quite well. Fine, I'll tell you. In the dense forests south of Demacia, many Dragon Race creatures live. Perhaps we can find something there."

"I already knew that."

Poppy told me before that dragons live there, but Shvana disappeared on the battlefield, how did she end up there?

But after thinking it over, I didn't have much to say to Jarvan. Tam's words were still somewhat valuable, so I decided to tell Jarvan what he had to say.

"You probably still have something to ask me, right?"

"Now that you already know, could you please tell me?"

Tam knew I wanted to ask about Alistar, so he simply told me directly:

It turns out Alistar had been here for a long time, arriving around the same time as Zhao Xin.

Tam noticed an incredible power within him from the beginning, which is why he brought him to the arena. However, Alistar was a cowardly giant at the time and was unable to fight others, so he was unable to unleash his power.

Combat didn't work, nor did drug-based methods; Tam even tried magic, but that also failed.

Until recently, while traveling in Freljord, he encountered a Spirit Walker was incredibly powerful. In Tam's words:

He almost drove me to the brink of despair.

I've never seen Tam Kench fight. Although I have a vague feeling that he's very powerful, it's hard to assess someone's strength without seeing it for yourself.

In short, the Spirit Walker lost to him and agreed to help him train a gladiator.

"Was that Spirit Walker named Udyr?"

"Wow, you're quite an interesting person; you actually know him."

Udyr strolled around the arena. He had only agreed to train one warrior for Tam, but he unexpectedly discovered two people who were interested.

One is Alistar, and the other is A Bing's friend.

Both of them have beast spirits residing within them; Alistar is Bull Spirit, A Bing's friend is Dog Spirit.

With Tam's consent, Udyr guided the two mentally, and after much effort, finally freed their physical strength.

Tam was overjoyed and personally saw Udyr off, but tragedy struck upon his return.

Because it was the first time both of them had unleashed their power, they were unable to control the might of the beast spirits. As a result, they went berserk after Udyr left, and a battle ensued, during which Alistar killed A Bing's friend.

Fortunately, they were in the training field and no one else was affected. If this had happened in the arena, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

Alistar was subdued by the combined efforts of Strength Speed Shadow Precision, and Jun. Of course, the main reason was that he had exhausted his strength, just like today; otherwise, he wouldn't have been so easily subdued.

Tam was heartbroken; one of the two powerful warriors had died in the blink of an eye, which was a significant loss. However, I didn't sense much distress from him as he described it.

At first, Alistar's Spirit Power could only last for a few minutes, but with Tam's gradual guidance, it has become longer and longer, and now it can last for more than half an hour.

This Spirit Power completely changed Alistar; he was no longer a cowardly giant who wanted to fight any strong opponent he saw.

Tam Kench needed someone like this, which is why he agreed to let Alistar fight freely here without worrying about being disturbed!

At this time, a small man stood out. He fought with all his might in every battle, and his ruthless spirit caught Tam's attention. He successfully passed the trial of Strength Speed Shadow Precision.

Tam quickly learned the details: the short man was named A Bing, and he was a friend of the deceased person who possessed the Spirit Power.

He had been honing his skills relentlessly to defeat Alistar and avenge his friend, but seeing the enemy's strength today, he couldn't help but feel a sense of despair.

Hearing this, I began to understand Riven's motivation for helping A Bing: "You helped him because you saw your own reflection in him, right?"

"Yes, A Bing is just like I used to be, with only revenge on her mind."

"Unfortunately, he doesn't have your fighting talent. Recklessly risking his life won't achieve anything other than putting himself to death."

Tam had a slightly different opinion. "That's how it was before, but now that he has an arm in his hand, he should be sober."

What good is it to wake up with only an arm? Seeing Tam Kench's confident demeanor, I didn't say those words, lest I be mocked by him again.
