The Natural Empire of the Oceanic Dragon

Being scrutinized by the scorching gaze of the Solar Dragon Soul, Artie felt a chill run down his spine, a sense of dread washing over his entire dragon form.

“Senior, what do you mean by looking at me like that? I know that using the Primordial Dragon Glyphs in this way might be a little disrespectful to the Dragon Gods.”

“But it's not like I wanted to, and no one ever taught me the correct way to use the Primordial Dragon Glyphs. I can only try to figure it out myself. But you have to admit, using the Primordial Dragon Glyphs to gather and refine energy…”

“It's really quite effective. Senior, what are you thinking about so intently?”

The Solar Dragon Soul finally snapped out of it, smiling faintly:

“It's nothing, I was just remembering some things from the past.”

Artie eagerly pressed:

“Since you know so much about the Primordial Dragon Glyphs, could you teach me how to use them?”

The Solar Dragon Soul retorted acrimoniously:

“Do you think I'd be in this state if I knew how to use the Primordial Dragon Glyphs?”

Artie asked, puzzled:

“Are the Primordial Dragon Glyphs very difficult to learn? Because when I taught the Dragon Glyphs to them, although they learned very slowly, they still made progress.”

The Solar Dragon Soul chuckled and asked:

“How much have they learned?”

Audrey asked weakly:

“They've learned three in five years. Is that considered fast or slow?”

The Solar Dragon Soul commented:

“Your father is the Elemental Dragon King who is about to become a god, and he also possesses the Ocean Dragon Soul. Looking at you, it's clear that you've received no small amount of divine power from the Ocean Dragon Soul. What's the difference between you and someone who grew up soaking in the Elemental Pool?”

“If even you can't learn them, how many of the entire Elemental Dragon race can?”

The Solar Dragon Soul pointed at Punk and said:

“Look at him, his talent isn't bad either, and steam is an element created by the reaction of water and fire, so he also has a natural affinity for learning the Primordial Ocean Dragon Glyphs.”

“So, how many have you learned?”

Punk lowered his head somewhat shamefully.

“I've also been trying to learn these past five years, but I still haven't fully mastered the Dragon Glyph that symbolizes the tide. I still can't comprehend some of the true meaning of its power.”

The Solar Dragon Soul nodded and explained:

“The use of Dragon Glyphs is divided into several stages: knowing the meaning of the power represented by the Dragon Glyph, unleashing the power of the Dragon Glyph, and linking different Dragon Glyphs together to create a chain reaction.”

“The first two stages are relatively simple, but the third stage will produce vastly different results depending on the different Elemental Dragons.”

Artie nodded thoughtfully, like learning classical Chinese.

The stages the Solar Dragon Soul spoke of represented:

Using that character to form words, make sentences, and write articles.

Some people have limited abilities and can only form some words at most, while others can write sentence after sentence, but they are not coherent.

And some people can use the characters they have learned to write an entire article.

The difference between articles is truly vast.

The Solar Dragon Soul looked at Audrey again.

“You've learned three Primordial Dragon Glyphs, can you unleash the power contained within the Dragon Glyphs?”

Audrey hesitated for a moment, but still plucked up her courage to speak.

“I think I should… probably can.”

Regardless of how uncertain Audrey's tone was, the Solar Dragon Soul simply said:

“Try it.”

Audrey took a deep breath and, under the expectant gazes of the dragons, began to inscribe the three Primordial Dragon Glyphs she was familiar with.

Audrey smoothly unleashed the power contained within the first Dragon Glyph, which symbolized the element of water, but failed with the second, only unleashing half of its power before being forced to stop.

The Solar Dragon Soul shook its head and raised its hand to inscribe a Solar Dragon Glyph.

“That's not right. It's true that you can't unleash all of the power symbolized by the Dragon Glyph, but that doesn't mean that a Dragon Glyph can't be used in battle just because you've only mastered a part of it.”

“Watch me.”

The Solar Dragon Soul vividly demonstrated to Artie and the others what the power of a senior should be!

“This is the light symbolized by the Solar Dragon Glyph, this is the high temperature of the Solar Dragon Glyph, this is the flame.”

Light, heat, and flame were all brought into play by the Solar Dragon Soul, and then randomly arranged and combined.

“Do you understand? A single Dragon Glyph symbolizes several kinds of power. As long as you understand it deeply enough, you can unleash the power of the Dragon Glyph freely like me.”

“Understanding the different parts of the Dragon Glyph's power will allow you to better link different Dragon Glyphs together when performing Dragon Glyph chains.”

“The simplest way to use a Dragon Glyph chain is to overlap a Dragon Glyph. Watch again.”

The Solar Dragon Soul stacked a full seventeen Solar Dragon Glyphs together.

“Do you understand?”

Audrey, Punk, and the Bear brothers all shook their heads blankly.

The Solar Dragon Glyph went up and down, left and right, forward and backward, and finally was kneaded into a sphere of light composed of Dragon Glyphs.

They didn't understand at all.

Artie's eyes lit up. He understood. The Solar Dragon Soul used different parts of the Dragon Glyph's power to connect to another Dragon Glyph. The fact that these parts could form a Dragon Glyph in the first place meant that they had a good degree of compatibility.

Connecting to other parts of the same Dragon Glyph would naturally be very easy.

Seeing Artie seemingly lost in thought, the Solar Dragon Soul smiled knowingly.

“Artie, what have you understood?”

“The light, heat, and flame parts of the Solar Dragon Glyph can each be combined together, so combining two Solar Dragon Glyphs is naturally very simple.”

“Senior, seventeen Solar Dragon Glyphs shouldn't be your limit, right? I think there's still a lot of space in that sphere of light from just now, and it should be able to accommodate a few more Solar Dragon Glyphs.”

“Senior, can two identical spheres of light be chained together?”

The Solar Dragon Soul couldn't suppress the surprise in its eyes. It was using the Solar Dragon Glyph, and this kid could actually see that there were still gaps.

How could an Ocean Dragon understand the Solar Dragon Glyph so well?

It would test him again.

“Yes, but the more identical Dragon Glyphs are chained together, the more unstable it becomes. This kind of chaining method is simple and easy to learn, but it's actually less stable than chaining different Dragon Glyphs together.”

“How many Primordial Ocean Dragon Glyphs have you mastered? Why don't you try using different Dragon Glyphs to perform a chain spell? Remember, don't activate too much of the power contained in the Dragon Glyphs during your first attempt.”

“Back in my day, there were quite a few Elemental Dragons who tried to create a powerful Dragon Glyph chain, only to have the chain collapse and blow up half their lives.”

Artie thought for a moment. He certainly couldn't say that he had mastered all of the Primordial Ocean Dragon Glyphs.

There were a total of forty-eight Ocean Dragon Glyphs, so he would say half.

“Twenty-four.”

The Solar Dragon Soul looked at Artie's nonchalant expression, and intuition told it that this kid wasn't telling the truth.

“Draw them out and let me see.”

Artie took out the Sea Emperor's Tooth and began to inscribe the Ocean Dragon Glyphs on the ground.

He easily wrote out all twenty-four Dragon Glyphs, and the originally calm lake became turbulent due to the appearance of these twenty-four Dragon Glyphs.

Bear One asked in confusion:

“Boss, weren't you told to restrain yourself a little? Why are you still making such a big commotion?”

Artie said matter-of-factly:

“Is it big? But this is already the smallest amount of power I can use. I'm sorry, I'm not skilled enough at controlling the Dragon Glyphs yet, and I can't precisely control the power of the Dragon Glyphs.”

Audrey's face darkened when she heard this.

What do you mean by not being able to control the minimum power!

Are you trying to say that you're already more powerful than us when we use all our strength to inscribe Dragon Glyphs without even trying?

Audrey thought about it carefully, and it seemed that it was really like that!

Even more angry!

"Hmph!"

Audrey glared at Attilan and turned away, sulking.

Attilan looked at her in confusion. Weren't they learning to use dragon runes? Why was she suddenly angry?

The Solar Dragon Soul didn't care about the little girl's feelings and excitedly pulled Attilan, saying:

"Why don't you try connecting these 24 dragon runes into a circle? Dragon runes can be reused; you don't have to limit yourself to using them only once. Although I don't remember, there should be some runes with auxiliary, supporting, and stabilizing connection properties."

Although the Solar Dragon Soul had lost her memory of dragon runes, she still retained her experience in using them.

"As for which specific dragon runes have connection properties, that's for you to discover yourselves."

The other two bears didn't understand, but regarding stability and support, Bear Da, who had spent five years in the Sea of Life building four or five small islands from scratch, understood what support was best.

It was his turn to shine.

"Just like when I build islands, I must use rocks, steel, and the like as the framework so that the island won't collapse from the slightest impact."

For the earth, support is steel and rock, so for the ocean, what supports the ocean's existence?

Attilan shook his head.

Wait, why was he following Bear Da's train of thought?

He should try it first.

The method to find the correct answer must be the brute-force method.

As long as he tried all the possibilities, the most correct arrangement method would naturally appear before him.

Besides, how would he know which two dragon runes could stick together if he didn't try?

One by one, cyan dragon runes formed in the sky as Attilan wielded the Sea Emperor Tooth.

"Three! Four! Five!"

The silly bear trio very cooperatively let out surprised shouts as Attilan carved.

You know what, even the Solar Dragon Soul was a little surprised.

Attilan was able to connect five runes on his first try at chaining them together.

The Solar Dragon Soul thought about Attilan's performance since they met and speculated that Attilan must have lost all his past memories.

Otherwise, Attilan wouldn't have reacted that way when he heard Code Name Nine.

Given their relationship, it was impossible for Attilan to hide the fact that he was the reincarnation of the Elemental Dragon God unless Attilan himself didn't know.

When learning the primordial dragon runes, no Elemental Dragon, except for the Elemental Dragon God who created them, could learn 24 runes in five years.

Attilan was still too inexperienced if he wanted to hide his strength.

If she had known, when she and that slut Solar Dragon Queen were learning the primordial Solar Dragon Runes, that slut only learned 9 in five years.

In the entire Solar Dragon clan, that slut learned the fastest and liked to pretend in front of the God Lord that it was all thanks to the God Lord's teaching.

Thinking about it now, the Solar Dragon Soul still felt itchy.

Looking at Audrey, the Solar Dragon Soul was a little surprised. Could it be that this guy had changed his nature and only hooked up with one little girl in this life?

To confirm Attilan's identity, the Solar Dragon Soul felt that she still had to conduct one last test. As long as Attilan passed it, then his identity would be correct.

"Dragon runes have been almost lost in this era, so it's naturally very difficult for you to directly learn the primordial dragon runes. Why don't you learn my Tier 1 and Sub-Tier Solar Dragon Runes first?"

"It will also help you master the primordial dragon runes."

Audrey suddenly had an idea.

"That's right, didn't I see runes similar to the primordial dragon runes in the sapphire before, but simpler? Those should be Tier 1 Ocean Dragon Runes!"

Saying that, Audrey reached out to Attilan.

"Attilan, quickly let me see the sapphire again."

A gleam flashed in the Solar Dragon Soul's eyes.

Sapphire, could it be the one that the dead ghost left in the Water Elemental Realm?

Attilan helplessly took out the sapphire and handed it to Audrey.

"It's good that everyone is here today. I told you to come and see it before, but you didn't come. Take a look today. It's good to learn two more Tier 1 dragon runes."

Bear Da asked in confusion:

"Isn't this a treasure left by the Dragon God in the Water Elemental Realm? Shouldn't it contain knowledge for the Ocean Dragons?"

The Solar Dragon Soul preemptively explained:

"The God Lord likes to leave a way out the most, so the backups he leaves are more comprehensive, so that as many Elemental Dragons as possible can benefit."

"You guys look first. I'll try it last too, to see if I can learn a few primordial Solar Dragon Runes so that I can repair the Dragon Pearl as soon as possible."

After Audrey finished watching, Punk was the first to watch, but Punk didn't see anything.

Punk said with a dark face:

"Nothing."

He had heard Attilan say that after watching the sapphire, knowledge was obtained according to the difference in talent. He didn't expect that he was so much worse than Attilan that he couldn't see a single dragon rune.

Attilan scratched his head.

"Try again."

Punk directly threw the sapphire to Bear Da.

Bear Da stretched out his mental power to take a look and shouted excitedly:

"I see it! It's a Mountain Range Dragon Rune. I can see a dragon rune symbolizing rock!"

Bear Er and Bear San followed suit, and then the three brothers compared notes and found that they saw the same thing.

"8 dragon runes, but they are densely arranged in a long string. It's a very complex dragon rune chain. Big Brother, do you think we can learn it?"

Audrey counted her own.

"13, as expected, I'm still smarter."

Looking at the depressed Punk, Attilan stepped forward and said:

"Don't be discouraged. Try suppressing the fire element in your body. Audrey and I will send some Ocean Dragon Magic to you, and then try again."

As expected, after this operation, Punk, with the Ocean's radiance on his head, could see the dragon runes again.

Audrey couldn't help but ask:

"How many primordial dragon runes did you see?"

How could he tell you that he saw hundreds of dragon runes?

"48."

Although there were more than 48 primordial Ocean Dragon Runes, the Solar Dragon Soul remembered that there was a secret technique that required 48 primordial Ocean Dragon Runes.

And this secret technique was the Ocean Dragon Soul!

She said that the Elemental Dragon God liked to leave a way out, which was right, but she didn't say that the Elemental Dragon God was very stingy. Except for himself, no one could get the most precious knowledge from him.

When teaching them how to forge the Ocean Dragon Soul, he kept a trick up his sleeve, and even said that you wouldn't be able to learn it.

But Attilan saw the 48 dragon runes needed to forge the Ocean Dragon Soul.

The Solar Dragon Soul immediately said:

"It's getting late, you guys practice slowly. Attilan, take me to the Solar Orchard."

Attilan was a little surprised. Why did the Solar Dragon Soul suddenly say she wanted to go to the Solar Orchard? But he still set off with the Solar Dragon Soul.

On the way, the Solar Dragon Soul asked in a quiet voice:

"Attilan, do you know the Supreme Dragon Pearl?"

Attilan's body stiffened.

"Senior, I don't understand what you're talking about."

"You know, you really are his reincarnation."

Attilan forced himself to calm down.

"Who? I don't understand?"

"You already have the answer in your heart, don't you?"

Attilan was panicking inside. The Solar Dragon Soul meant that he was the reincarnation of the Elemental Dragon God?
