Chapter 163 Three-minute War God_2
"Hey... I want to chat with Meredith all night long... and listen to her tell the dark history about you, Lance,"
Lance put down the Dragon Whelp, knocked on its head neither too lightly nor too heavily, "You have homework tonight; keep working hard. Someday when I think you have the power to protect yourself, maybe I'll let you join them on an adventure."
"What level of self-preservation are you referring to?"
"The kind where you can run carrying a mountain on your back, where the Dragon Breath you exhale can melt the mountain. When a sword strikes your head, it leaves no mark, and enchanted weapons can't pierce your dragon body. When you throw a punch, you can shatter a small hill, or when you swing your dragon tail... you can snap a tree trunk one meter thick. At the very least, you need to master two Dragon Curses, strong enough to disable a 'Golden Wheel'-class expert."
"...."
Young Dragon Lucia felt... it would be easier to become an emperor than to become a powerful Young Dragon.
Right now, the only attack she had mastered was Dragon Breath.
The distance her Dragon Breath could reach... was just over three meters.
When she transformed back into the ten-meter Amethyst Young Dragon, the distance her Breathes Dragon's Breath could reach was five meters...
A few days ago, she showed off her abilities to the Evil Dragon with great enthusiasm, but the result... the Evil Dragon simply stuffed a lollipop into her mouth...
The Evil Dragon said... If Dragon Breath could only reach five meters, as soon as she opened her mouth, sword Qi ten meters long would jab right into it... and it would kill her instantly...
Upon further thought, she felt there was some logic to what the Evil Dragon said.
Such a short range really made it easy for a powerful enemy to stab her to death with a weapon...
The training to toughen up her dragon body continued as the number of times she had to knock against Turtle increased from three hundred to six hundred times a day...
It doubled all at once.
She still had to practice her reflexes when she got home in the evening.
To dodge the Evil Dragon's dragon tail.
After more than two months, she had not managed to dodge the Evil Dragon's dragon tail even once...
She just got whipped...
"Let's go, time to go home."
"Oh."
Lance took the Young Dragon back to Black Dragon Island.
Brewing the Extraordinary Elixir was not feasible at the Earl's Mansion; they had to return to Black Dragon Island to do that.
He also wanted to mix some special elixirs that could enhance defensive power into the strength-boosting Extraordinary Elixir.
This required a little bit of Turtle's blood.
Raising a turtle for a thousand years, using it in a moment of need, Turtle probably wouldn't mind contributing a bit of its blood.
Turtle had transformed from an ordinary turtle into an Extraordinary Turtle.
Refining a bit of Turtle's blood and adding it to the brewed elixir could not only boost strength but also enhance defensive power.
Adding a few special ingredients meant creating a new potion, which necessitated someone to test it.
Who should test it?
The Dragon Whelp?
What if the Dragon Whelp grew a turtle shell after drinking his brewed elixir?
In his mind, adding Turtle's blood would only help enhance the skin's resistance to blows, not result in a turtle shell popping up...
But since it was an Extraordinary Elixir, the occasional side effect that was beyond control was part of the norm.
Let Er Gouzi test it then.
Er Gouzi dared to eat the flesh of the Deep Sea Giant Monster; a little side effect shouldn't affect its mindset.
It was different for the Dragon Whelp. If she really ended up with a turtle shell, she would probably lose the courage to even step outside and meet people...
Back on Black Dragon Island, the Young Dragon went off to hit Turtle while the Evil Dragon Lance prepared the ingredients for brewing the elixir.
In his true form as a Black Dragon, the Evil Dragon could brew the Extraordinary Elixir for over twenty people in just one cauldron.
The cauldron of the Black Dragon was huge, so big that it could even fit her, the pretend Young Dragon.
From time to time, the Evil Dragon would share the names of the ingredients and their effects with her when brewing the Extraordinary Elixir, allowing her to get a rough understanding of their names and properties.
It was definitely in preparation for teaching her how to brew the Extraordinary Elixir in the future.
The Evil Dragon truly wanted to raise her to be a formidable Evil Dragon like himself...
The education for the Young Dragon was also gradual.
Evil Dragon Lance got all the ingredients ready for the elixir, then approached Turtle.
The Young Dragon was still hitting Turtle with grunts and groans. Turtle remained motionless, not even rocking slightly.
The Young Dragon still had a long way to go before she could knock it over...
"Turtle, I need a bit of your blood to brew the elixir. I'm thinking of making a small cut on your neck to borrow some; not much, just one bowl will be enough."

In Lance's dragon claw was a Stone Bowl, which was the bowl the Young Dragon used to drink her medicine after hitting Turtle.
Seeing the bowl in the claws of the Evil Dragon Lance, Turtle retracted its head back into its shell. This was not about borrowing some blood to brew an elixir.
This was clearly about bleeding it to use its blood as a hot pot ingredient.
"I misspoke, just a few drops, really, just a few drops."
Eventually, after a mix of cajoling, threatening, and bribing from the Evil Dragon Lance, Turtle obediently extended its head, letting the Evil Dragon make a light scratch on its neck with a dragon claw.
The Skeletal Dragons of recent days couldn't even breach its defense.
But when the Evil Dragon Lance acted, a light scratch on its neck with his dragon claw caused the blood to flow immediately.
After collecting a bowl's worth of Turtle's blood, Lance released a Healing Technique, instantly healing the cut on Turtle's neck as if it had never been there.
His Healing Technique worked quite well, comparable to the divine servants of the great temples.
With Turtle's blood in hand, Lance turned away.
The blood needed refining before being added to the Extraordinary Elixir, and the proper control of heat and timing of the herbs' essence release during brewing was crucial.
In creating a completely new Extraordinary Elixir, even with a few additional extraordinary herbs, one couldn't be careless.
To be on the safe side, Lance decided to first brew an elixir that could enhance combat strength for a short period.
If time was scarce, he would have Meredith and the others take the strength-enhancing elixir with them to The Lost Golden City at dawn tomorrow.
The elixir that could momentarily boost strength was named by Lance as "Three-minute War God".
