Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Arthur then totally got absorbed in dealing with his inner demons. This proved to be a hard task that took more than he expected, yet he was winning each counter with these demons.

At some point, when the number decreased to less than ten, the remaining demons tried to coalesce together. They moved to stand near each other which created a stronger defense against Arthur.

Yet the trump card of his pearl energy was decisive in this fight. Despite taking one week more, he managed to finally break their defenses and start absorbing them one by one.

"Phew… finally finished," he muttered tiredly when three weeks passed already. "This took much longer than expected."

"But you managed to absorb them all," the golden dragon said, "and Gege got four orbs alone."

The golden dragon never ceased to mention this point over and over again.

"I should have absorbed five, not just four," Gege replied in a strong attitude.

"Stop it already," Arthur helplessly interfered to stop this clash, "I still need to deal with that massive energy inside my body."

"You should just use your breaths to stabilize it," the golden dragon simply said, "also if there is a fight it would be much better."

"I know," Arthur nodded as this was simply the case like dealing with his cultivation energy. "How much time do I have until the challenge at the academy?"

"Ding! Less than a month time here," the system said.

"What about the city? Any attacks there?" he realized it was a long time since he went to the city and checked on it.

Leaving it defenseless like this for a long time annoyed him.

"Ding! Nothing in particular happened. And those masters just sent a word a while back, they apologize for being busy and Amanda is angry about that."

"She didn't come either," Arthur sighed.

"Ding! She was sent by the academy to supervise the preparations of the main contest, she sent these words with deepest apologies."

Arthur shook his head, as he was slightly disappointed.

The next thing he did was to start flying around, going on a wide tour inside the garden world, using his breaths all the time. From time to time, residents in his garden world would see a flash of light passing over their heads without telling what was that.

The amount of dragonair energy inside Arthur's body was immense. It took him two weeks to finally stabilize it.

"I have over triple the power I once had," he muttered before adding, "now it's time to stabilize my cultivation base."

He paused for a moment before asking, "What about the tests at Amelia's end?"

"Ding! They are still doing the tests thoroughly. They need at least one week from now to end their selection."

"Not bad," he nodded before taking out his sword. "It's time to train with you mate."

The next moment Arthur landed on the ground, just next to the Golam lake like before. He then started to use his spiritual energy and pearl energy to use this berserker sword.

Each technique he had once learnt or heard about at the nascent soul base or lower was tried out by him. He was like a living encyclopedia, and in the next week he used over fifty sword techniques and mastered them.

"Impressive," Gege muttered, "you know how to hack a girl's body."

"…"

Arthur was speechless but he knew he did quite the devastation here. Among his fifty sword techniques, only five hailed above all in strength and might.

These five were basically considered the pinnacle of techniques in the nascent soul stage. He managed to perform them perfectly fine, without any error at all.

"Time to go to the academy then," he muttered, "what about Amelia's end?"

"Ding! They are ready," the system answered, "but the results you might not like."

'Why is that?" Arthur muttered in doubt.

"Ding! See for yourself."

"Stop touching my body!" Gege shouted the moment Arthur was transferred by the system towards the place of Amelia and others.

He ignored Gege's remark as he glanced over the number of people standing with Amelia.

"Finally decided to come back," Amelia complained, "I thought you forgot about me."

He helplessly smiled as he was driven from one encounter to another, solving problems that kept popping in front of him. "Sorry, I've been busy lately," he said before glancing at those standing around her, "where are the final team of us?"

"We are," Amelia smiled proudly as she pointed towards the ten standing behind her and added, "they are the cream of the crop."

"Only those…" Arthur was speechless for a moment before adding, "they are few."

"They are the top," Amelia explained, "you only want the best, right?"

"Indeed but never thought they would be this short."

Arthur glanced at the small team of eight with many familiar faces. There were Deem, Gor, Agnus, Omar, Tarry, and Madly of his old team. Tarry and Madly were the ones that surprised him to be here, and Madly seemed to notice his gaze.

"What? Surprised for me and Tarry to be present?" she chuckled before adding, "I have a great breakthrough in forging, and Tarry was praised by Amanda when she taught us about the special abilities. She said he will be the biggest factor in our winning in the future."

Arthur smiled as he said, "That's a good news. I still remember the fiery girl from before."

"Humph, this girl is still fiery as ever."

Arthur sighed before glancing at the fresh faces. "Who are they?" he asked.

Amelia glanced at the three whom moved fast to bow to Arthur as they said:

"Hello esteemed lord, I'm Longman, a potion and pill maker."

"Hello esteemed lord, I'm Sherry, a defense specialist."

"Hello esteemed lord, I'm Noh, a marksman and a bow fighter."

Arthur glanced at the three where two came from the castle of the sky and one was from the people he rescued from his city world.
