He also read about wealthy Ruby Dragon Sif Aiya and his own assessment before stopping in shock at Baphomet Gale’s reported size.

• Xiluo paid ten gold coins for the Brass Dragon’s notebook and read that Youlisis Bamu was the adolescent division’s leading favorite, with an SSS rating and a powerful sand-and-fire domain.
• The Brass Dragon explained that Dragon God blessings granted greater growth and described Youlisis’s brother Naifeisi as a Legendary genius with three mutated bloodlines and a Legendary treasure.
