Exercise can slow down the accumulation of anger, which is undoubtedly good news for Garos.

After confirming this, his thoughts turned to another thing that had been lingering on his mind for a long time,

About [Wild Path]'s employment.

Star-Self and Eternal Death are essentially branches of Martial Path, with pure Dragon Qi as the core energy source.

However, Wild Dragon is a completely different extraordinary path from Martial Dragon. It does not rely on Dragon Qi, but uses blazing [anger] as the source of power.

In all Dragonkin groups.

Red dragons, who are irritable by nature and have a hot temper, are the race with the largest number of people setting foot on Wild Path.

Once you become Wild Dragon, anger will no longer be just an emotion, but transformed into real power. The more Rage you become, the more your combat effectiveness will soar.

But because of this, Wild Dragon is often more likely to fall into uncontrollable rage and mania, become explosive at the slightest moment, find it extremely difficult to stay rational, and often make impulsive actions with serious consequences.

Wild Dragon The most basic employment requirements are not complicated to say.

Really and thoroughly feel and immerse yourself in the ultimate Rage that completely abandons all rational constraints.

In the past, it was difficult for Garos, who had a relatively calm personality and was good at restraint, to take the initiative to achieve this state.

But today is different from the past. Under the continuous influence of Frenzied Flame, as long as he is willing, he can activate the backlog of volcanoes in his heart at any time, allowing himself to enter the state of complete Rage, thus satisfying the prerequisites for practicing Wild Path.

However, problems also arise.

This is undoubtedly an extremely dangerous thing.

Rage, violent, wild... These states themselves will seriously erode rationality. If combined with the terrible influence of Frenzied Flame's chaotic mind, once he uses Wild Path's related skills, Garos is very worried that he will completely lose control and turn into a crazy monster who only knows destruction.

At that time, even if you can adapt, it will take a longer time, and in the period of loss of control, every minute and second will be very dangerous.

On the other hand.

The more extraordinary paths he can master at the same time, it will certainly allow him to have more comprehensive abilities and stronger immediate combat power at the same level, but at the same time, studying and improving multiple paths at the same time will inevitably disperse a lot of energy and time, resulting in a significant slowdown in the Class Level improvement speed of each path.

Should I study a large number of pathways at the same time, or should I specialize in a certain pathway?

This requires choices and trade-offs. Each has its own pros and cons.

Garos The current Martial Combat Level has not reached the bottleneck period where it is difficult to improve, and the potential is still huge.

After comprehensively considering the possible loss of control risks caused by Wild Path, after some careful consideration, he had already made a decision in his mind.

"I will put Wild Path on hold for the time being. Once I fully control the Frenzied Flame in my body, it will not be too late to consider practicing Wild Path as well."

After making this decision, Garos felt that his mind became much clearer.

He ended the long-lasting exercise, ordered his family members to send a few living animals for testing, and asked White Dragon Tressie for a little cooperation, and began to try out the newly mastered Life Drain skills.

The actual test results are basically consistent with the description in Dragon Inheritance.

This skill can indeed forcibly extract part of the life essence from the living bodies around him to restore his own injuries and vitality.

It is worth noting that this skill does not lock on a single target, but directly covers a circular range with Garos itself as the center for indiscriminate extraction.

Its range of influence and extraction effect will increase simultaneously with its Eternal Death Pathway Class Level improvement.

However, when trying to extract the vitality of Tressie, Garos clearly felt certain obstacles.

Powerful creatures themselves have natural resistance to such negative effects.

But generally speaking, the weaker the target creature is, or is in a state of serious injury and weakness, the more significant the effect of Life Drain will be and the smaller the resistance will be.

"This skill is most effective when you are trapped in a tight siege and facing a large number of enemies. It can extract a large amount of Life Energy at once, allowing me to fight to support the fight."

Garos summarized the best application scenarios of this skill in his mind.

Immediately, he gathered his mind, his consciousness sank into his body, and tapped the two unique Blood Kin Link.

"Here?"

"Here!"

"Here!"

In Mind Network, which is unique to Ignas's blood relatives, Garos directly said to the red dragon Samantha: "Samantha, I need a special set of armor tailor-made for me."

Samantha seemed very happy that his alchemy ability was recognized and entrusted by Garos.

"No problem! Keep it with me!"

"Which aspect do you want the armor to focus on? Is it to maximize defense capabilities, or is it to focus on enhancing strength, speed or other attributes?"

She paused, considering Garos's size, and added, "With your ridiculously large and strong body, it will definitely take a lot of rare materials and complicated processes to build a full set of armor. However, the tribe now has a vast territory and abundant resources, so these are not problems."

Garos conveyed his need. "No, what I need is not enhancement."

"On the contrary, I need a set of armor that can suppress, restrain and restrain my own strength."

This is completely opposite to the ordinary dragon's idea of pursuing power increase, which made Samantha slightly stunned when he heard this.

But she soon realized the deep meaning and purpose behind Garos's move, and suddenly said, "I can try it, but there is a lack of knowledge in this area in the inheritance. It is estimated that it will take a long time of trial and error, and it will be difficult to complete in the short term."

Garos understands this.

"It's okay, I can wait, don't rush, just do it at your pace."

At the same time, Iron Dragon Sorog said, "Samantha, Leyline Pool recently produced several rare pieces of Soul-Iron Stone. Can you use these Soul-Iron Stone as materials to build me a helmet that can increase the effect of psychic spells?"

Samantha immediately had a hint of narrow-mindedness in his thoughts and said, "Okay, but you ask me."

He wanted to see this blood relative of Iron Dragon, who was always serious and cold, bowing to him.

Iron Dragon Sorog responded calmly, "Well, I beg you, from the bottom of my heart, to build this helmet for me."

Crisp and neat, without any fuss.

This reaction was not at all the embarrassment Samantha expected. It made her feel like she had been punched in cotton.

She snorted a little boredly and said reluctantly, "Okay, for the sake of your sincere request, send your family members to bring Soul-Iron Stone to me."

At this time, Garos remembered the exploration of Legendary Artifact.

He asked, "By the way, how is the exploration progress of Malnes Dungeon? Have you found any definite clues about the Legendary Artifact?"

After hearing his question, Iron Dragon Sorog fell into a brief silence.

He did not answer immediately, but asked cautiously, "Garos, how does the Frenzied Flame in your body affect you now? Is it still as strong as before you fell asleep?"

Garos sensed his own state and responded, "After sleeping and adapting, I can control it better. Although the impact is still there, it has been reduced a lot compared to the beginning."

Iron Dragon Sorog carefully felt Garos's mental state.

After pondering for a moment, he said, "While you were sleeping, the exploration team did find clues to Legendary Artifact, and it was almost within reach, but..."

He carefully considered his words and told Garos everything that happened in the depths of Malnes Dungeon.

Red Iron Dragon listened silently, without interrupting from beginning to end.

However, as Sorog narrated, the anger in his body that had just been suppressed began to surge rapidly uncontrollably, and ferocious blood streaks crawled towards his eyes again at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Lucky Messenger... After she took Hall of Heroes, she could have left quietly and directly. Molten Iron Tribe might never even know who took the prop.

But she didn't.

She deliberately stayed where she was, showed up to meet Molten Iron Tribe, expressed her seemingly sincere apology, and emphasized that she had already given the so-called compensation.

Perhaps, in her own mind, this is a way to show a friendly and kind gesture?

No!

In Garos's eyes, he only saw an ugly face.

After robbing others of the results that they have spent a lot of time, energy and exploration on, they still have to pretend that I am doing it for you and you should understand me, so that the victim can understand her difficulties, apologize hypocritically, and offer some trivial compensation.

This is blatant hypocrisy and condescending arrogance.

If she relied on her own Legendary Realm power to directly express her intention to take something by force, adhering to the law of the jungle and taking it away openly, it would be easier for people to accept it than this face.

Garos took an extremely slow breath and suppressed the anger surging in his chest.

But this anger did not disappear, it was just accumulated in the deepest part of his heart, like a dormant volcano, waiting for the moment to erupt.

"Good luck... Huh, she is indeed very lucky to pick up a Legendary Realm rare item from us without any effort."

"But she may not realize that all the gifts of fate have already been marked with a secret price. A moment of good luck does not necessarily mean a lifetime of good luck."

"Let her be proud for a while first."

Red Iron Dragon's voice was cold, and he said solemnly, "After I step into the Legendary Realm, I will personally go to the south to visit Church of Fortune's temple. When the time comes, I will make her understand deeply what bad luck is!"

Subsequently, Garos communicated with Sorog about the overall development of the tribe in the northwest wilderness area, the progress of resource collection, and the trends of surrounding forces.

After confirming that everything was generally stable, he took the initiative to end the communication between blood relatives.

Red Iron Dragon opened his eyes again, and the bloodshot eyes were nearly twice as thick as before. The whole dragon's mood became extremely irritable because of what happened to Lucky Messenger.

Just hearing about this made his accumulated anger surge upwards. An impulse of destruction roared in his heart. He wished he could fly to the south now and smash Goddess of Luck's temple to pieces to vent his hatred.

Fortunately, his reason firmly restrained this dangerous idea.

"Compared with the real Legendary Realm strong man, my current strength is still far behind."

"We must absorb all the resources in the northwest region more efficiently and conduct higher intensity and more extreme exercises... I need to set foot on the Legendary Realm as soon as possible."

The appearance and behavior of this Legendary Realm strong man not only made Garos feel angry, but also made him understand his situation more clearly.

Under the Legendary Realm, he may be able to dominate a party and be respected as the king.

But as long as Legendary Realm is not achieved, everything will be like a castle built on quicksand. It may seem glorious, but in fact its foundation is unstable. It may collapse at any time because of a thought from a truly strong person.

The real chess players and talkers in this world are all those who stand above Legendary Realm.

It can be said that only by becoming Legendary Realm can one be truly qualified to serve on the table.

Before that, it was just a small fight.

In the eyes of real Legendary Realm, the fight between Regional King in the wilderness is probably like novice chickens pecking each other, not worth mentioning.

"With my current strength, if I meet those newcomers Legendary Realm who have just stepped into level 21 and are at the lowest level, I wonder if I will be able to fight?"

Garos was thinking silently, assessing the gap between himself and Legendary Realm.

He had already experienced the power and difficulty of the field from Lich before.

That was just a dead Legendary Realm, a weakened version of the realm. He needed to activate Red Lotus Form to break through it forcefully, and it was not easy.

After his battle with Mad King, he has improved a lot now.

But if you face a real Legendary Realm who is in perfect condition and want to break through his complete field, I am afraid it will still be extremely difficult and the chance of winning is slim.

However, with his abnormally strong body and life.

As long as he fights to the death without hesitation, it will not be easy for an ordinary beginner Legendary Realm to kill him.

But once he reaches the peak of level 20, the situation may be completely different.

In the records of Dragon Inheritance, although there are not many examples of dragons with extraordinary talents and profound knowledge who have conquered the new Legendary Realm from other races, they are not very rare either.

Racial gaps, individual differences. These can smooth the gap between some mortals and Legendary Realm.

Garos feels that since other dragons can do it, he can do it too in the future.

Of course, unless necessary, he will not try it rashly. In essence, he prefers to fight downwards and leapfrog instead of taking risks and challenges upwards.

At this time, although there was a lot of anger accumulated in the body, it had not yet reached the critical point for safe venting set by Garos.

He took a deep breath again, tried his best to calm down his turbulent emotions, and tried hard to adapt to the impact of Frenzied Flame. At the same time, he was ready to start a new round of higher-intensity exercise, determined to use his sweat, talent, and the resources continuously provided by the tribe to set foot on the Legendary Realm, which symbolizes the qualitative change of life, as quickly as possible.

Woohoo--!

Dragon Valley Outside, the strong wind roared shrilly, and the already gloomy sky was gradually shrouded in darkness, turning into darkness.

Garos Not long after the new round of exercise had just started, his movements suddenly stopped, he raised his head keenly, and looked at the sky outside.

At the same time.

I saw two dragon shadows tearing apart the thick curtain of wind and snow, approaching quickly in the direction of Dragon Valley with an unmistakable trajectory. The speed was not slow. They were not ordinary young people or Adult Dragon.

Their figures became clearer and clearer in the wind and snow, and finally, their identities were revealed by the color of their scales.

It is the couple Silver Dragon Aldri and Copper Dragon Selina who were mentioned by Deborah not long ago.

At the same time, when Silver Dragon Aldri flew over Dragon Valley, he habitually circled in the sky, his majestic eyes lowered, scanning the valley scene below.

When the figure of Red Iron Dragon, who was huge and majestic, with muscles as stretched as granite, exuding a terrifying sense of power, came into view.

Silver Dragon, who has always been known for his elegance and aloofness, could no longer hold back the expression on his face.

He involuntarily opened his eyes and opened his mouth slightly, showing a state of astonishment that was almost dumbfounded.

This... is this really Young Dragon?!

What a joke!

Some ordinary red dragons that have just reached their prime may not necessarily have such an exaggerated and huge body shape!

Compared with Red Iron Dragon at this time, Silver Dragon in his prime already looked slender and thin.

The last time Dragon Valley came to visit Deborah, she did not explain Garos's current situation in detail to Silver Dragon.

Silver Dragon completely didn't expect that Red Iron Dragon, which they hadn't seen for decades, would grow to such an incredible level.

He had already highly underestimated Red Iron Dragon's talent, but he didn't expect to underestimate it in the end.

How about... let's forget about the idea of competition that I thought about before? There is really no point in fighting for victory or defeat. As an elder, I should be more open-minded. It is not good to worry about everything.

Silver Dragon Aldri couldn't help but retreat.

"Dear, look at Garos, he seems to have grown a lot compared to the last time we saw him."

Copper Dragon Selina whispered with a smile.

She paused and continued, "You're not going to back down because of this, are you? Of course, if you change your mind now, as your considerate partner, I will definitely understand you very, very much."

Hearing this, Silver Dragon Aldri seemed to have been stepped on, and immediately let out an unhappy snort.

He suppressed the shock in his heart, regained his arrogant and indifferent expression, and said, "Walking back because of the power of a Young Dragon? No way."

"I will use facts to prove that there is a huge gap between Young Dragon and an experienced Mature Dragon."

In his opinion, young Red Iron Dragon might just be born with a special talent and his body develops very quickly.

However, size has never been the only key to determining the strength of a dragon.

His age, the long years he has accumulated, his rich combat experience, and the three professional paths he has taken that have reached a certain level... these are the sources of his confidence.

As for the failure of the first sparring session, it was because of his carelessness.

There is no reason for him to be shy in front of his friends.

The next step is just to be more serious and less lax during the discussion. Besides, Garos may not necessarily agree to his request for discussion. Last time, he still had to bend the rules to get Red Iron Dragon to nod in agreement.
