The Natural Empire of the Oceanic Dragon

“The creeper mutated into a Vine Dragon. Master, what do you think I should do with him? Should I train him into a Vine Dragon Guardian, like you trained the Oak Guardians?”

At that time, Atilan was in the Egg of Life, focusing on the cycle of life, tempering the bloodline of the Ocean Wyrm, and enhancing his control over life force and water elements. He didn't even know when the life energy he breathed spontaneously formed an energy field.

According to the Bearman's description, when Atilan entered a state similar to meditation, the life breath was autonomously activated many times.

Now that he has mastered the life energy field, the passively activated ability has risen from life breathing to the energy field, and the promoting effect on life even faintly exceeds his active activation.

After Atilan completed his life transformation and woke up, the Bearman and the Vine Woman pulled him to actively activate the life energy field, but the promoting effect was obviously worse than passive activation.

Mainly because it lacked the effect that could improve the Bearman and the Vine Woman.

Since Atilan's bloodline ability is more effective when activated unconsciously than when he activates it actively, it means that he has not fully developed his body's potential.

The Bearman analyzed all of Atilan's training types and intensities over the past six months and believed that Atilan's physical training was insufficient, resulting in a subtle imbalance between the body and energy that Atilan had not noticed.

This subtle coordination problem can only be improved by Atilan through continuous self-examination, training, and learning cultivation knowledge. The Bearman's intervention may temporarily reverse it to the correct state.

However, with Atilan's progress, the state will definitely deviate again.

The Bearman will not help to correct this kind of basic training. He will only point out Atilan's possible problems and let Atilan experience and correct them himself.

Regarding whether Atilan is an aberrant dragon, the Bearman's conclusion is yes and no. Aberrant dragons generally exhibit special abilities that regular dragon species do not possess, but Atilan possesses abilities that Ocean Wyrms should possess.

It's just that these abilities, which are closely related to life, have undergone qualitative changes after being amplified, making it seem like he possesses special abilities like an aberrant dragon, but it can also be classified as Atilan being a top genius of the Ocean Wyrm, lighting up the abilities of the race's bloodline to the extreme.

In a nutshell, Atilan is just an ordinary little genius of the Ocean Wyrm.

The Bearman already has arrangements for developing Atilan's physical training.

Just when Atilan was still complacent about the powerful power brought by the life transformation, the Bearman had already begun to create a formidable opponent for Atilan who could stimulate his training initiative.

Among the younger generation, the only one who can still compete with Atilan is the Tigerman, and even the Tigerman can only barely suppress the current Atilan.

Atilan's challenge level is 6 + Druid level 6, combat power is level 18, Tigerman's challenge level is 4.5 + Monk level 11, combat power is level 20.

Atilan has the advantage of flying, and the self-healing technique and life control bring a strong life force advantage. The only thing that the Tigerman can suppress Atilan is combat skills.

However, Atilan's combat wisdom will not allow him to fight the Tigerman in close combat. Instead, he will use the advantage of language to mentally pollute the Tigerman.

The Tigerman is clumsy and has limited attack power. Facing the thick-skinned Atilan, her words cannot cause any harm.

In order to stimulate Atilan to seriously hone his physical body, the Bearman needs to strengthen the Tigerman's training to create a close combat crush on Atilan. With Atilan's hostility towards the Tigerman, as long as he is defeated by the Tigerman relying on fists and close combat skills.

He will definitely realize his shortcomings in this area and strengthen it.

Last time, Atilan acted as a catalyst to help the Tigerman begin to transform. This time, it's the Tigerman's turn to stimulate Atilan.

Since Atilan defeated the Tigerman with trash talk in the first duel, his attitude towards training has not been as serious as before, putting more energy into developing the territory.

This won't do. But the Bearman discovered after trying various ways to stimulate the little dragon that none of the methods seemed to work as well as the Tigerman. They are both useful and worry-free as fuel and catalysts for each other's strength improvement.

He only needs to control the proportions in the middle to prevent them from completely becoming enemies, but also to ensure that there is friction. Inciting conflict is a technical skill, and the Bearman thinks he is quite good at it.

Because that's how he came to be. He was accepted as a disciple by a former hunter, and his mocking ability was used on his group of disciples, resulting in the Bearman, who finally entered the door and became the successor, being ostracized by his senior brothers.

Although the senior brothers finally admitted his achievements, they were indeed not as good as the Bearman, but their relationship was not very good, and this group of great druids could not help the Bearman's career and love much.

Instead, they stuffed their disciples and grandchildren to him. Most of the socially awkward druids in the forest are actually the disciples and grandchildren of this group of Bearman's senior brothers who are almost dead.

It's just that the senior brothers did not inherit the essence of the Life School and can only rely on the Life School's research on life, combined with the things from the Animal, Plant, and Elemental Schools to create some new forms.

Some old guys succeeded, and some failed. They created new forms successfully, but their souls were lost in the power of the new forms. After contributing to the species integrity and ecological chain stability of the continent and ocean, they died.

Don't be surprised when you see a new species you haven't seen before. They are not necessarily the evil products of a mage's laboratory. New species derived from druids' transformations generally tend to be kind and neutral.

As long as you don't invade their territory, or encounter hungry guys, you can probably leave safely.

The schools are free. Most schools don't mind if you have other school identities. As long as you can learn, the old druids don't mind teaching you their unique skills before they die.

But you have to pass their tests. They will only pass on the unique skills to the druid descendants they recognize. A series of complex pre-tasks will definitely make your scalp tingle.

Of course, the Withering School is easier to join, and you get a magic weapon, unique secret techniques, and a matchmaking association upon entry, guaranteeing that you can find a desired partner.

After all, the Withering School does life-threatening business, and they still hope that the members of the school can have a descendant who inherits the concept of natural protection before dedicating themselves to the great cause of the druids.

“How to handle the Creeper Dragon Spirit is your problem. Regarding the issue of the gradual incoordination between your body and energy, I advise you to take it seriously, especially since your magic power has grown further after this life transformation.”

“That's all I have to say. It's up to you to decide.”

Looking at Atilan's appearance, the Bearman knew that he hadn't listened. Verbal persuasion is always weak and powerless. Only broken bones are unforgettable textbooks.

Since Atilan can't be persuaded with words, he can only let the Tigerman speak with her fists.

It just so happens that the Dharma aspect restrains enemies who rely on energy to fight.

The Bearman is not good at spell combat, so the effect of the Dharma aspect he designed is naturally to force the enemy to also be unable to use spells. The simplest function of the Dharma aspect is actually to disrupt the enemy's magic power operation.

This time the battlefield is not the training ground last time. The forest allows the Tigerman's lightness skill to have room to play. At the same time, the Bearman plans to teach her the secret technique of walking in the air with the help of lightning.

Sanshou, Shadow, and the techniques of the Four Symbols Sect have all been integrated by the Bearman into some of the combat techniques of the Natural Sect Monk. If Atilan underestimates the Tigerman who has now begun to control the elements, he will suffer a big loss.

Looking at the slender Vine Dragon in front of him, compared to the Western dragons, this Vine Dragon gave Atilan a feeling of an Eastern spirit dragon.

Of course, it just looks like one. Even if Atilan continues to use the Ocean Wyrm's talent ability to catalyze the growth of the Creeper Dragon Spirit, unless Atilan becomes a god, he doesn't think he can create a Spirit Dragon with a challenge level of at least 22.

The Elemental Dragon God who sacrificed his life to create the dragon race is still vivid in his mind. Atilan doesn't plan to repeat the same mistake. It's good enough to raise the Creeper Dragon Spirit to the same level as the Ancient Tree of Life, with a challenge level of 15.

Wait a minute, after being shaped by the life energy field, the intelligence of the Creeper Dragon Spirit has been further improved, and he himself is a dragon spirit transformed from plants.

If he is allowed to control the vines to weave vine armor and vine shields, and process the wooden sticks needed to make weapons, wouldn't that be a match made in heaven?

It doesn't seem to be the right word, but that's about the meaning.

Atilan immediately took the Creeper Dragon Spirit to a place where vines grew, selected suitable vines, and said to the Dragon Spirit:

“Look, it's the vines of this quality. Pick them all out.”

The Dragon Spirit, who was originally from vines, can pick vines as fast as Atilan.

“Then weave them into shields like this, understand?”

Atilan picked up a few vines and used plant manipulation to weave them into shields, and then used natural magic to strengthen the shields to achieve a defensive power that was not inferior to tung oil impregnation.

The Creeper Dragon Spirit weaved vine shields smoothly, but he was not skilled enough in injecting natural magic, and the vine shields produced had many defects. It doesn't matter, just sell them to the rainforest tribe.

Making vine armor is not as simple as vine shields. The complex weaving process alone made the Creeper Dragon Spirit dizzy, and in the end, he directly weaved a ball of vines.

The Creeper Dragon Spirit immediately lowered his head in frustration.

“It doesn't matter, being able to weave vine shields is already great.”

Just when Atilan was exploiting his pet, the Bearman found the Tigerman who was being struck by lightning on the Zijing Mountain.

“Tiel, come here.”

Tiel mobilized her true energy to dispel the thunder and used lightness skill to come to the Bearman's side.

“Teacher, did you call me?”

“Pure lightning cannot fully unleash your talent. In addition to lightning, wind elements can also become your help. Today I will teach you the latest secret technique I have researched.”

“It can allow you to simultaneously control the two elements of wind and thunder to fly in the air, the Wings of Wind and Thunder!”
