Life is tough, so Honglong resorts to performing?

Chapter 130 Qi?
After paying a considerable sum of money, Loren obtained a so-called "city-version down-frequency military spell combo pack" from the red dragon Cassilia.

Ignoring its price, Loren thinks this thing is quite valuable.

Because these spells are all recombinations and special combinations based on conventional spells, many of the ideas behind them are quite interesting and valuable, such as the frequency band countermeasures between invisibility spells.

However, if you take the price into account, then this bunch of spells is extremely valuable.

We spent money on this, a lot of money!
Fortunately, in addition to purchasing the spells, Cassilia also provided explanations and analyses of these spells, adding her personal understanding to help Loren quickly get started and learn them.

Although, it was all spent on Loren's online class time.

But at least Casilla didn't charge extra.

Because he had worked part-time tutoring mages back in Lin Yue City, Little Red Dragon knew very well that some mediocre real-life mage teachers would use their modified standard spell models to attract students and then charge extra fees to let students learn so-called secret techniques.

The so-called improved spells are merely transitional versions based on the old spells in the Spell Museum and the current standard versions.

In contrast, while online courses are expensive, the teachers are indeed highly skilled, ranging from legendary to demigod-level computing power models, providing one-on-one spell explanations, and occasionally revealing a little bit of spell knowledge that is enough to benefit one for a long time.

Not to mention the possibility of rising to the top in one step and becoming a true legend or a disciple of a demigod, which can be said to be very cost-effective, only the threshold is relatively high.

It wasn't until late at night that the little red dragon finished the initial practice of this spell combination pack. After saying goodbye to Casilla and goodnight, Loren yawned and felt sleepy.

His rapidly growing body is urging him to go to sleep quickly, stop studying so hard, his brain is still digesting.

Little Red Dragon reached out and glanced at the group chat and friends he had joined. After confirming that nothing serious had happened and receiving a few comforting red envelopes from the Eternal Group Chat of the Fleeting Ones, he turned his head and fell into a deep sleep.

During his nap, the world continued to change, and things, whether related to it or not, continued to happen as usual.

The sleeping red dragon's consciousness arrived in a boundless spiritual space, where a fist-sized, illusory orb of light, sealed and controlled by the four elements, floated before his eyes.

"I don't have time to mess around with you right now."

At this moment, the somewhat dazed red dragon casually grabbed the ball of light and placed it under his head, using it as a pillow as he drifted into an even deeper sleep.

"Ah~~ Ha~"

After a restful sleep that felt like a complete refreshment from head to toe, the little red dragon opened its eyes.

"Where the hell am I? Have I been kidnapped?"

The sight before him, and the sphere of light swelling in his arms to the size of a dragon's head, startled him.

Judging from the familiar magical fluctuations above, this should be the four elemental seals he set up, so this should be his mental space.

He understood the logic, but why was this sealing sphere so big?
He remembered that he was only this big when he was sealed away.

Can this thing actually grow?
Loren was puzzled by this; the brass dragon didn't seem to have mentioned this.
After a brief moment of hesitation, Loren made a decision.

Forget it, pick out two and beat them up, completely digest this thing, and create clones first.

The sudden appearance of a powerful figure among the Transcendent Ones, the one who sent chills down my spine, suggests that my current position and situation may not be so safe.

Before the man in the black robe with the dog is caught, some risks must be taken for greater security.

According to the brass dragon, once this clone is created, besides self-destruction, scouting, and contacting the outside world, one of its most important functions is a mystical, or symbolic, substitution for death.

You can hold a sacrifice in your own name, and then use this thing to burn in your place. After burning it, the materials can still be used to reconstruct a physical existence, but it will no longer have the symbolic meaning of representing you.

After making a decision in his heart, Loren began chanting the incantation.

This time, he first practiced the newly learned down-frequency version of the military spell combo pack, using the urban version of multi-band invisibility to conceal his figure, the composite mage reaction armor to enhance overall defense, the full-cycle life stimulation to increase physical attributes, and the over-frequency version of mechanized mind to enhance his computing power...

After everything was ready, Loren first chanted and maintained the first half of the energy ball formation, and then entered a state of suicidal observation before splashing the small amount of water element onto the floating light ball and the energy ball next to it.

The orb of light sealed by the four elements quickly unsealed upon contact with the water element, and a brand new monster was about to take shape.

Meanwhile, the fusion and explosion of the five elements reached a fever pitch, the magic in the air was rapidly decreasing, and the small ball of light was becoming increasingly dazzling.

This attack, combining all the magic that Little Red Dragon can currently draw upon after his enhanced computing power and precise calculations, without affecting his ability to counterattack or defend himself, represents the pinnacle of his spells to date.

The monster within the seal had just taken shape when a blindingly bright white light instantly illuminated the entire spiritual space, robbing everything of its color.

The monster seemed to be opening its mouth as if to say something, but everything in the entire mental space was distorted by the violent explosion and energy impact. Even from a distance, Loren could feel the intense heat and the violent shockwave that brought destruction to everything.

If it weren't for the influence of its current mechanized mindset, Little Red Dragon would definitely be cheering for the big explosion it had just made.

"This isn't going to be the end of it, is it...?"

After a long while, in the mental space that had finally returned to calm, the little red dragon, having withdrawn from its mechanized mind, waited patiently. Where were the monsters? Where was the group formed by the high-level magic crystals? Did they win or lose? Give us an answer!

We can't just blow them all up, that would be a bit too much. The brass dragon said you guys are very strong, that's why I used my trump card to blow you up.

Loren muttered to himself, and after a long while, forty-eight increasingly dim stars slowly took shape. A stream of starlight converged into a warm current that flowed into his body, making the little guy feel even more comfortable.

"You won already? That's a bit unexpected. Is the Cohesive Energy Ball stronger than I expected, or is there some other reason?"

Loren was quite surprised by the outcome of this battle. After all, the first encounter with the Shock Clan had given him a lot of trouble. Although according to the Bronze Dragon, the later the creatures appeared, the lower their energy level and the more tricks they had up their sleeves, this was only the second one!
If that's the case, the next few energy levels are even lower. Could I just keep blasting them and get my hands on this clone?
This is easy!

"Are there other factors involved, such as the fact that this guy isn't resistant to explosions, or are there any other possibilities...?"

Loren began to ponder, tracing and analyzing the factors present.

"Is it possible that, like the dual-source version of the Echo, there was a certain reaction between the Four Elements Seal and my Cohesive Energy Sphere? The origin theory of the Cohesive Energy Sphere comes from the Four Elements Creation Theory, while the Four Elements Seal is the earliest version of the Four Elements Reaction recorded in Dragon Language Magic..." Loren had an idea in his mind, and then with a thought, he withdrew from the mental space and opened his eyes in reality.

"Whoo~"

Golden flames ignited in the dim, vertical pupils, and two streams of hot breath spewed from the dragon's nostrils. The fusion of its grown spirit and flesh brought the little red dragon an indescribable sense of ultimate comfort.

In that instant, he could clearly perceive the changes in every bone in his body, hear the sound of his blood and magic flowing, the movement of every muscle fiber, the new and old state of every scale, and the flow of air and magic within a certain range around him.

Without even realizing it, the little red dragon adopted the stance of the Dragon Monk from the tradition he had learned before and began to practice it naturally.

As he practiced again and again, Loren had never found this so interesting and natural. During his practice, the life energy in his body was also refined and evolved. The Thousand-Day Fruit he had eaten was quickly digested and transformed into new power that lingered around the red dragon.

"This is... Qi?"

The sudden hunger shattered the natural training state, and the little red dragon, sensing the extra life energy suddenly appearing in its body, fell into confusion.

According to the monk in the Dragon Legacy, his state just now was a kind of martial arts state, or in more Eastern terms, something like the unity of man and nature.

"I became a monk, without taking an oath or studying those things carefully, and that's how I became a monk?"

"And my Thousand-Day Fruit was suddenly spent like that, so am I still a young dragon?"

Loren was plunged into a deep state of confusion.

Being able to use and mobilize Qi, a life energy, is naturally a powerful supplement to his combat power, but why?

Loren asked himself honestly, when he chose to study the Dragon's Legacy, he did covet the red dragon monk's Qi system, but he remembered that he couldn't even get started back then!
If that weren't the case, why would I simplify it into a warrior's combat skill and fight with pure physical ability?
But now, our own magic combat system is almost complete, and we're prioritizing magic abilities. And here you are?
The baby died and milk came in. Why didn't you do that earlier?
The intense hunger emanating from his body prompted Loren to channel this life energy back into his flesh. After satiating his body, the little red dragon began to analyze the cause of the sudden appearance of this energy.

"Perhaps it wasn't entirely sudden; maybe there were signs all along..."

"Right after the magic crystal shaped the prototype of the magic crystal heart..."

Loren pondered his past life trajectory, searching for his own answers.

After that day, her body and soul were restored. After entering the zoo, the pressure of life was largely relieved by the Green Leaf Rare Animal Zoo. She also had two rather large residences, a group of fans who would cheer and applaud for her, and gradually became more childlike, revealing her true nature that matched her age.

Loren remembered the battle he had fought against himself. How had he won?
Because he was not afraid of death.

Tired of struggling to make a living, suppressing one's true nature to the point of near-schizophrenia, with one's heart nearly parched and even prone to self-destruction, does one still yearn to nurture the Qi that represents life energy?

The red dragon stared at the life energy swirling between its claws and couldn't help but let out a sneer.

"It's a pity. Even though you've come, I still haven't learned to respect my own life. I just got into a fight and blew myself up a while ago."

Loren thought to himself that some things are meaningless even if you understand them.

It came late, it came belatedly, but it did nothing wrong; it's just that spring came at the wrong time.

He appears calm on the surface, but when pushed to the limit, he'll resort to desperate measures—no, I mean, he's become so desperate that he'll explode with fury. This fighting style has become ingrained in his mind and body.

If he could obtain the spell of rebirth from an explosion from his other magic mentor, the demigod Balrog, and combine it with that clone, his reckless fighting style of repeatedly self-destructing would obviously become his future signature move.

As for the Monk system, just use it for now. Anyway, the Dragon Legacy has everything on how to proceed and how to utilize it.

Loren flicked his paws, dispelling the lingering aura that carried a hint of warm life.

The confusion and that touch of artistic melancholy came and went quickly.

Real life and potential threats do not allow Little Red Dragon to wallow in self-pity for long.

"Anyway, I've become stronger, I'm awesome again, hmph."

After dispelling these emotions, Little Red Dragon took out the magic crystal terminal, entered the corresponding online course key, and prepared to contact his other online course tutor.

"Good morning, little red dragon. Are you getting ready for new lessons so early?"

The Flame Demon put down the decapitation sword in his hand and gave his disciple a happy smile.

"Good morning, Flame Lord Teacher. I'm contacting you this time mainly because I've encountered a strange magical phenomenon and hope to get some help from you."

Seeing that the other party did not stop him, Loren continued to speak, recounting how he had used the Shaping Energy Ball and the Dragon Clan's Four Elements Seal at the same time. Even though the other party was just a thought model, Loren still omitted some details about himself.

"Yes, your guess is correct."

After listening, Ellis nodded affirmatively.

"One of the advanced forms of the four-element creation magic is to perform multiple creations and resonances to achieve fusion and transformation. After all, according to the principle of this magic, it is a simulation of creation. Since all things are born here, all things can also be refused here."

"Oh dear, it seems you're getting more and more involved in the principles of my legend, making me really want to invite you to be my disciple."

Ellis scratched his head, gave an embarrassed smile, and then his expression became serious.

"Then let me ask you one more time: do you want me to report to my true self, truly become my disciple, learn my legendary principles, and inherit my magical system?"

"Well..."

Loren hesitated for a moment.

"Tch, you trash dragon."
