Chapter 534 - 366: Silver Dragon: This Is Supposed to Be a Young Dragon?!
Exercise can slow the accumulation of anger, which is undoubtedly encouraging news for Galos.
After confirming this, his thoughts turned to another matter that had long lingered in his mind,
the employment regarding the [Wild Path].
The stars and the eternity, in essence, belong to the branch of the Martial Path, using pure Dragon Qi as the core energy source.
However, the Wild Dragon is an extraordinary path completely different from the Martial Dragon, it does not rely on Dragon Qi, but uses the intense boiling [anger] as the source of power.
Among all the Dragon Race.
The inherently irritable and hot-tempered Red Dragon is the race that most often embarks on the Wild Path.
Once becoming a Wild Dragon, anger is no longer just an emotion, but transforms into tangible power. The more furious one becomes, the more their combat power soars.
But precisely because of this, Wild Dragons are often more prone to uncontrollable rage and agitation, becoming easily explosive, extremely difficult to remain rational, and often making impulsive actions with severe consequences.
The most basic employment conditions for a Wild Dragon, in theory, are not complicated.
Genuinely and completely feel and immerse oneself in a state of absolute, utterly irrational extreme fury.
In the past, Galos, being relatively stable in temperament and good at restraint, found it difficult to voluntarily reach this state.
But times are different now. Under the continuous influence of frenzy fire, as long as he desires, he can at any time trigger the volcano buried within his heart, entering such a state of total fury, thereby fulfilling the prerequisites for dual cultivation of the Wild Path.
However, the problem also follows.
This is undoubtedly an extremely dangerous matter.
Fury, frenzy, wildness... these states themselves severely corrode rationality. If coupled with the terrifying impact of frenzy fire’s chaotic mind, once he uses skills related to the Wild Path, Galos is very worried that he will completely lose control, turning into a mindless destructive monster.
By then, even if he can adapt, it will require a longer period, and during the period of losing control, every minute and second are extremely dangerous.
On the other hand,
studying multiple extraordinary paths can indeed give him more comprehensive abilities and greater combat power at the same level, but simultaneously, pursuing improvements in multiple paths inevitably disperses a lot of energy and time, significantly slowing the progression rate of each path’s occupational level.
The decision of whether to pursue many paths or specialize in one path,
involves choices and balancing. Each has its advantages and disadvantages.
Currently, Galos’s Martial Path level has not reached an insurmountable bottleneck, and his potential is still vast.
Considering the potential risk of losing control with the Wild Path, after a thorough and meticulous contemplation, he made a decision in his heart.
"For now, I will set aside the Wild Path. It’s not too late to consider dual cultivation of the Wild Path once I’ve completely mastered the frenzy fire within me."
After making this decision, Galos felt much clearer in his thoughts.
He ended the long-lasting exercise, instructed his followers to bring some living creatures for testing, and requested a bit of cooperation from White Dragon Trish to start experimenting with the newly mastered life extraction skill.
The actual test results were basically consistent with the descriptions in the Dragon’s Legacy.
This skill indeed forcibly extracts a portion of the life essence from the life forms around him to restore his own injuries and vitality.
It is noteworthy that this skill does not lock onto a single target, but directly covers a circular range with Galos at its center for indiscriminate extraction.
Its influence range and extraction effect will synchronously enhance with the improvement of his occupational level in the Eternity Path.
However, when attempting to draw life energy from Trish, Galos could clearly feel some resistance.
Powerful creatures naturally possess innate resistance to this kind of negative-effect skill.
But overall, the smaller or more severely injured and weakened the target creature is, the more significant the effect of life extraction, and the less resistance there is.
"This skill works best when surrounded by a large number of enemies, capable of extracting a massive amount of life energy at once, allowing me to sustain combat by combat."
Galos summarized the best application scenarios for this skill in his mind.
Immediately, he gathered his thoughts, allowing his consciousness to sink into his body, lightly tapping on the two unique blood kin connections.
"Here?"
"Here!"
"Here!"
In the unique mental network of Ignas blood kin, Galos directly said to Red Dragon Samantha: "Samantha, I need you to custom-make a special piece of armor for me."
Receiving Galos’s recognition and commission for her alchemy ability, Samantha appeared very delighted.
"No problem! Leave it to me!"
"Which aspect would you like the armor to focus on? Is it extreme enhancement of defensive capabilities, or does it focus on enhancing strength, speed, or other attributes?"
Considering Galos’s size, she paused and added: "Given your enormously muscular and absurdly robust physique, crafting a full set of armor will certainly consume a significant amount of rare materials and complex procedures, but with our tribe’s vast territory and abundant resources, these are not issues."
Galos conveyed his needs: "No, what I need is not enhancement."
"On the contrary, I require a set of armor capable of suppressing, binding, and restraining my own power."
This request was completely contrary to the usual Giant Dragon pursuit of power augmentation, causing Samantha to be slightly taken aback upon hearing it.
But she quickly realized the deeper meaning and purpose behind Galos’s move, suddenly understanding: "I can give it a try, but there is a lack of knowledge in this area in the legacy, so it will likely require a long period of trial and error, making it difficult to complete in the short term."
