X-Dragon Era

Although Xin Yun was only fifteen years old, from his appearance, he looked nothing like a fifteen-year-old child. Instead, he bore a closer resemblance to someone around the age of twenty, not only in physique but also in his demeanor and temperament.

At fifteen, though not a particularly significant age, if someone's physical development was early, they could already be quite sizable. It was not unheard of for a fifteen-year-old to grow to be over two meters tall; it was quite normal.

Constrained by his race, Xin Yun's body had developed well, but he was still far from burly. However, he was certainly not emaciated. Clad in a green long robe, he had an air of a graceful figure standing amidst the wind. It's just that... If judged only by eyesight, he seemed not strong enough, easy to bully.

Standing proudly atop Yinglong, Xin Yun's face was calm. His heart was filled with joy due to the upcoming reunion, but his face betrayed no sign of it.

Today, Xin Yun had just barely entered the Silver Nine Order state. He was now concentrating all his energy on combining the nine dragons. Once the fusion of the nine dragons was completed, and he comprehended the battle techniques of the next order, he would officially step into the Golden Domain, the battlefield domain!

The reason why the Golden Domain is called the battlefield domain isn't just empty talk. In the Bronze and Silver Orders, the energy within the Dragon Ball is gaseous and fog-like (I know there isn't a fog-like state, but it's a more vivid description). Once one steps into the Golden Order, the energy becomes truly liquid, and one's strength will see an explosive increase! Explore new worlds at My Virtual Library Empire

Even though the difference in energy between the Golden and Silver Orders isn't significant, the quality of the energy undergoes an earth-shattering change. It's a transformation from gas to solid; the propelling force of the energy burst is similar to an explosion of dynamite.

In this world, if a person isn't strong before the age of eighteen, there's little hope for the rest of their life. This is said because, before this age, capable individuals will have inevitably entered the Golden Order, and the strength of the Golden Order determines a person's standing for life!

Although this isn't an infallible rule, from Xin Yun's experience in his past life, among the countless beings in the world, he had only ever seen one exception in Ming Xuan. Everyone else followed this principle.

Take Po Kong and Qingying as examples, they both burst forth with formidable power at the age of 16-18. Po Kong at 16 and Qingying at 18, each became the Head of the Institute. It's worth noting... the oldest student in the institute is over thirty years old, but they stand no chance against these two.

Just comparing Po Kong and Qingying, their differences become immediately apparent. Po Kong, at sixteen, already overpowered the 22-year-old Qingying, who was at the Crystal Two Stars, cementing his future status as the number one master of the world. Now... even though Qingying has reached the Crystal Three Stars and has Xin Yun's magical artifacts, he only has a fifty percent chance of winning against Po Kong, and this is without Po Kong making any significant breakthroughs.

Therefore, Xin Yun is very excited about the upcoming Golden Order. The Golden Order is a destination; only upon reaching the Golden Order does one truly become a warrior, truly possessing formidable combat prowess, with significant enhancements in both offense and defense.

At the same time, the Golden Order is also a starting point, a point from which one progresses from being strong to even stronger. Compared to the Amethyst Order, Diamond Order, and levels above, the Golden Order is just a foundation, just a starting point.

After landing at the Dragon Stop outside Mountain Sea City, Xin Yun strode with ease toward the direction of the academy. On his return this time, Xin Yun didn't notify the two girls, partly because he wanted to surprise them and partly... because Xin Yun also wanted to give himself a surprise.

Over the past two years, everyone had made rapid progress. Yi Luo Xiang, like Xin Yun, had also reached the Silver Nine Stars, while Yan Qingying had taken a step ahead of them, reaching the Silver Ten Stars. As soon as she comprehends the abilities of the Golden Order, she can officially step into the Golden Domain!

In the past two years, although separated, the continuous communication through the Taiji Diagram meant that their interaction hadn't ceased. Despite Xin Yun's absence, the connection through the Taiji Diagram prevented any feeling of estrangement.

Throughout these years, Yi Luo and Yan Qingying had been very busy, with studying, cultivating, and... they also continuously faced challenges from the weak to the strong. Half a year ago, the two finally became the Heads of their second year!

Thanks to relentless combat, the two girls' fighting abilities improved rapidly. As of today, if it hadn't been for Xin Yun holding them back, these two girls might have already challenged the Head of the Institute!

However, Xin Yun stopped their actions. With their current strength, although it was unlikely they would lose against Po Kong, winning would still be incredibly difficult. And unless they won, even a draw would be considered Po Kong's victory. This was the academy's way of protecting the Head, not reasonable but still understandable.

As for Xin Yun, he had been far from idle over these two years. They say... it's better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books! Through constant cultivation over the last two years, Xin Yun of today is very different from before.

In his past life, Xin Yun controlled a Fire Series dragon, many of whose characteristics were the exact opposite of those of the Water Series Yinglong. Although both dragons could fly, the flight of a bird and swimming of a fish are distinctly different, and the difference between a rocket and a swimming fish is even greater. Therefore... many things from his previous life needed to be corrected or even discarded, and many new methods and techniques had to be explored continuously.
