This Giant Dragon is So Powerful!

Chapter 255 - 53: Three Adventuring Dragon Daughters; A Heavy Burden

After resting for a few days in the warm corridors of Abyss Doron City’s castle, when the cooldown for the next Banquet was about to end, Udi returned to the Tal Material Plane through the Teleportation Altar.

Holding the Banquet is more secure at the old nest, putting the dragons at ease.

....

Black Castle, Dragon Pool.

Udi awoke from the reinforced slumber of the Banquet.

Slightly sensing the effects of the reinforcement, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Udi’s dragon eye.

The Biological Level was just a hair’s breadth away from Tier Sixteen Middle.

The next Banquet will likely be the breakthrough.

Feeling joyful, Udi was planning to take a stroll outside and relax when his White Dragon ’eldest daughter’ arrived.

In the center of the Dragon Pool, on the smooth Black Rock Ground, Udi watched Antonio approach with an expression that could hardly conceal her excitement, and he raised a dragon eyebrow.

So happy, could it be....

Has the Spiritual Energy been cultivated?

Udi’s guess was correct.

Antonio didn’t bother with suspense, and said excitedly as soon as she arrived,

"Father, I succeeded in cultivating Spiritual Energy!"

"Show it to me," Udi thought to himself, as expected, and spoke indifferently.

Seeing her father’s calm demeanor without a word of praise, Antonio felt a bit disappointed.... but soon her spirits lifted again, and she immediately began to display the Spiritual Energy she had cultivated.

In Udi’s Spiritual Power vision, the extremely thin special energy covering Antonio’s left front Dragon Claw could be vaguely seen.

It was indeed Spiritual Energy.

But it was just too little.... However, to Udi’s surprise, although the amount of Spiritual Energy Antonio cultivated was small, in terms of quality, it was rather pure.

Although it was far below the quality of the Spiritual Energy Udi cultivated, his Spiritual Energy was inevitably powerful since it was transformed during the Banquet process.

However, the quality of Antonio’s Spiritual Energy indicated that the core training belief she had established must be extremely firm.

This piqued Udi’s curiosity... so he directly asked,

"What is your training belief?"

"It’s you," Antonio looked at the Black Dragon Lord with a gaze ablaze with admiration, and said reverently,

"My belief is to follow in Father’s footsteps, to keep advancing and growing stronger!"

Udi was speechless, and somewhat helplessly said, "You really have a big heart, haven’t you ever thought about what would happen if your strength surpasses mine one day?"

Using the pursuit of someone else as a training belief, if one’s own strength surpasses that person, then the belief is considered to have reached its goal and borne fruit.

Although Spiritual Energy wouldn’t decline because of this, it would also become difficult to make progress in the future.

To become stronger again, one would have to ruthlessly dismantle the hard-earned Spiritual Energy, redefine their training belief, and start from scratch. This is undoubtedly very tormenting and painful.

This is the downside, but setting such a belief also has advantages.

The advantage is that because the belief’s goal is very concrete, and because it is a reachable presence beside them, the belief no longer feels illusory and can easily become firm; thus, cultivation of Spiritual Energy progresses quickly. Especially when this object of pursuit is someone they deeply admire.

Conversely, setting a belief goal to pursue a Divine Spirit would only leave Antonio feeling bewildered.

What is a Divine Spirit? Which Divine Spirit? Why pursue that Divine Spirit? Many questions make it difficult for the belief in the heart to be firm, even if constantly self-hypnotizing, but if it is not deeply recognized and established in the heart, then the cultivation of Spiritual Energy not only progresses slowly, but its quality is poor, resulting in scattered, thin, and weak power.

"Father is the strongest!" Antonio’s beautiful frost-blue Dragon Eyes were filled with a determined look.

Udi nodded slightly, recognizing this statement from his heart, and said indifferently,

"What you said is indeed true, sooner or later, I, Udi Sigmund, will surely ascend to the throne at the Peak."

A Five-Colored Dragon that isn’t a bit arrogant isn’t a Five-Colored Dragon, is it? Especially since he still has his talent hacks!

"Then.... Father, may I go out now?" Antonio asked hopefully.

"Have you found two companions?" Udi asked.

"I have. Silver Dragon Katie and Brass Dragon Melissa." Antonio nodded, looking eagerly at the Black Dragon.

Udi reminisced briefly and quickly remembered the two little dragons.

A Giant Dragon’s memory is exceptionally good; unless forgotten deliberately, even after a millennium, they can recall a face they’ve seen.

"Those two little fellows have decent strength, much stronger than you." Udi nodded slightly, considering it an acknowledgment,

"Then go ahead, just remember, you’re only allowed to act in the southern part of the continent."

"Yes~!" Antonio’s previously anxious feelings turned into exuberant excitement, responding with undisguised enthusiasm.

Watching the White Dragon hop away, Udi’s mood was slightly peculiar.

Is this the complex heart of a parent as their child sets out on an adventure?

"However, experience is essential. Dragon Beasts themselves lack the Dragon’s Legacy, missing knowledge and comprehension of things, their minds are as blank as a child’s..... If they never experience and enrich their own experiences, then in the future...." Udi mused silently.

If it were a True Dragon, there would be little need to risk venturing out for experience; hiding until maturity is one of the best options because the vast Dragon’s Legacy contains all sorts of knowledge, allowing them to comprehend the many truths of the world, understanding good, neutrality, evil, and so on, even without stepping out of their home. Going out when weak is looking for trouble.
