“Dragon Language?” Wang Long was taken aback, as he had not considered this aspect.
Dragon Soul snorted coldly, “What you humans refer to as Dragon Arts is the combination of incantations spoken and hand seals made to communicate with the heavens and form spells; among them, the hand seals mimic the traces of Dragon Script, while the incantations are derived from Dragon Language. If you wish to fully comprehend this Dragon Script and Heavenly Book, isn't it obvious that you should approach it from the perspective of the combination of Dragon Language and Dragon Script?”
Wang Long was overjoyed and said, “As expected of Dragon Duel! With this, we have hope of deciphering this volume of the Heavenly Book... It’s just that my research on Dragon Script isn’t very deep; I need to think of a way to study it properly…”
Dragon Duel scoffed, “You are currently in Dragon Hidden, where could you find better resources than here?”
Wang Long immediately realized this and sought out Zhang Mingyi to inform him of his request. The latter was somewhat displeased at being disturbed during his rest but reluctantly led Wang Long to the library within Dragon Hidden.
After selecting several books related to Ancient Dragon Script, Wang Long returned to his room and began studying with Dragon Duel.
“This character should mean ‘open’... I wonder how it is pronounced in Dragon Language?” Wang Long grasped the meaning of a character and asked Dragon Duel.
“Zha!”
“Is that so... No wonder many incantations end with this sound...” After pondering for a moment, Wang Long translated this line of Dragon Script.
The human and dragon worked together, translating more and more of the Dragon Script, gradually revealing the mysterious veil of this volume.
“It seems that this volume focuses on repairing injuries to the body and Spirit...” Looking at nearly half of the Dragon Script from the Heavenly Book that he understood, Wang Long contemplated.
“That's right... During this time, I have gained a lot from it. You must understand, if I can fully master the power of this volume of the Heavenly Book, I will be able to repair my own injured Spirit, allowing my wandering soul to grow stronger; even if you cannot kill other Dragon Souls for me to devour, I can still enhance my own strength and help you unlock the sealed Dragon Vein…”
Wang Long was overjoyed and hurriedly said, “Really? If that's true, then we can progress together in the future without needing to take such risks…”
Dragon Soul sneered, “Don’t be too happy too soon; these contents are merely the most superficial things. Whether you can completely decipher all the contents of this volume remains unknown, let alone truly understand it.”
Wang Long smiled and said, "No matter what, I will do my best. Besides Spirit, this volume seems to also mention methods for recovering physical injuries, which I could certainly use..."
Ten days later.
Wang Long took out the complete translation of this volume of the Heavenly Book and sighed, "This volume of the Heavenly Book, titled Revival, is indeed the supreme secret manual for repairing Spirit and physical injuries."
Dragon Soul also said, "That's right. I have been slowly exploring and testing how to restore my damaged Spirit based on the contents of the Heavenly Book. I hope it will be effective."
Wang Long laughed and said, "If this volume of the Heavenly Book cannot repair your Spirit, then there may be no one in the world who can save you..."
The Heavenly Restoration Technique is divided into three realms. Although Wang Long has grasped some of its mysteries, he still cannot fully master even the first and lowest level.
The first realm focuses on training one's body and Spirit, making them more resilient and condensed, better able to withstand powerful attacks. It also allows one to accumulate Dragon Qi gained over time, enabling immediate repair when the body or Spirit is damaged.
The Dragon Script and Heavenly Book are incredibly marvelous; even if it is only the first realm, if Wang Long can truly master it, unless there is a significant disparity in strength, it would be very difficult for anyone to kill him quickly.
Dragon Soul suddenly said, "In these ten days, I have been studying this volume of the Heavenly Book, especially the Spirit section. It has already made my sealed Spirit a bit stronger and more condensed. I suspect... it should help you break through the Sixth Dragon Vein."
Wang Long nodded. With this Heavenly Book in hand, he now had two paths to open the Dragon Vein: one was still like before, defeating and absorbing Dragon Soul to strengthen it; the other was for Dragon Soul to cultivate and condense its Spirit on its own, helping him break through once it became stronger.
In other words, one method relies on external force for instant power increase; the other method involves self-cultivation. Although it is not as quick as the former approach, it is more enduring, allowing both of them to progress together.
Dragon Soul did not say much more. After being repaired by the Heavenly Restoration Technique, the Spirit stirred slightly, and a surge of power began to impact within Wang Long's body...
At this moment, Wang Long had somewhat grown accustomed to the pain during the impact on the Dragon Vein. He gritted his teeth tightly and refused to make a sound, allowing that excruciating pain to flow throughout his entire body.
Others impacted the Dragon Vein gradually, progressing bit by bit. Although their growth was not as sudden as his, it was stable and safe, and they would not suffer as painfully as Wang Long.
As the impact of the Sixth Dragon Vein approached its end, the pain was compressed and intensified thousands of times. Sweat beads rolled down Wang Long's forehead, and his muscles tensed up, trembling slightly.
Yet he still gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, not making a sound.
Suddenly, it felt as if enlightenment had struck him; a cool sensation surged from the top of Wang Long's head throughout his body. The relief following the pain made him doubt whether it was real or an illusion.
The world suddenly became clearer, and a faint unknown mist enveloped the surroundings. As Wang Long opened his eyes, he saw the end of the small room.
Surging Dragon Qi flowed vigorously within his Dragon Vein, filling every corner of his body with boundless vitality and energy. The unprecedented feeling of strength filled him with joy.
The Sixth Dragon Vein had finally been opened!
What did breaking through six Dragon Veins mean? His mentor Zhang Tailai, who trained him in Dragon Martial Arts, was merely a master who had opened six Dragon Veins. Of course, at this moment, Wang Long's true strength was far from Zhang Tailai's level, but their realms were comparable!
Naturally, Zhang Tailai was already at the peak of six Dragon Veins and could break through to the seventh at any time. However, before that, he was already a senior figure in Dragon Martial Arts.
This also meant that if Wang Long wished, he could even attain the status of an elder. Even within Dragon Hidden, if he could complete more tasks and gain higher prestige, it would not be impossible!
"Don't get too complacent; the true boundary between a master and an ordinary person is the seventh Dragon Vein! Only by breaking through this layer can one be recognized by masters and truly stand tall. At this moment... you are still quite weak!" Dragon Soul timely poured cold water on him.
Wang Long felt great at this moment; instead of retorting, he lightly chuckled and said, "Thank you; I know you mean well. But don't worry, I know where my level stands."
Dragon Soul snorted, but Wang Long could hear a hint of disdain missing from his voice.
"Dragon City Battle is imminent and could erupt at any moment. I wonder what the situation outside is like... This battle will likely be incredibly fierce. The Serpent Demon Clan has been lurking for over a thousand years; who knows how deep their true power runs? All we can do is try our best..."
Dragon Soul paused for a moment before saying, "Dragon City is not so easily toppled... Back in the day, I thought I was unrivaled in heaven and earth, that no one in this world could be my opponent, but the result was..."
Wang Long smiled, "Do you think this crisis for Dragon City is beneath you?"
"Naturally," Dragon Soul replied briefly, his pride evident in his words.
Wang Long did not argue with him, chuckling lightly, but then suddenly frowned, "However... there is indeed one person who might be quite troublesome, the Dragon Head..."
At this point, he felt a sudden jolt in his heart and couldn't help but knock his forehead with his fist.
"Deep down, I still rely on the Dragon Head. Whenever faced with such unfathomable enemies, I always think of the Dragon Head as a counterbalance! No, I can't have this kind of thought; the burden on my shoulders... must be borne by myself!"
Dragon Soul chuckled lightly but said nothing.
"Let's go and witness... war."
