In the infirmary, Arin was already awake. Seeing Long Yi appear, he gave a somewhat embarrassed smile. Long Yi threw over an apple, and immediately a small silver dragon came rushing, catching the apple.

It was Silver Ray.

Long Yi watched as Silver Ray skillfully peeled the fruit and handed it to Arin, then watched as Arin finished the fruit.

Only then did he speak.

"I’ve found a way to heal your body."

"Oh." Arin nodded.

"Ah?!!!" Arin let out an exaggerated cry.

"Yes, I just made a trip to the Dragon God Temple, and an old dragon acquaintance gave me a method to heal your body, but this method is a bit troublesome," Long Yi said.

"What method?" Arin’s voice sounded a bit shaky, nervous, or excited.

Thus, Long Yi told Arin in detail the method he got from the old dragon Tyl. After hearing it, Arin’s head slowly dropped, his expression appeared somewhat dull.

"I know, this method, if it heals you, your magic talent will be wasted. So, I hope you think clearly, whether or not you want to be healed, and besides, this requires the help of Silver Ray..." Long Yi hesitated.

"I want to be cured!"

"Roar —"

Arin raised his head, his face filled with no hint of dread, but seemed to be brimming with joy! In his arms, the little dragon called Silver Ray was even more excited, its eyes glowing with genuine exhilaration!

"Have you really thought it through? It’ll hurt a lot."

"I’m not afraid of pain."

"Silver Ray, you also need to think it through, if successful, your power will decline considerably."

"Roar!"

"Alright, since you both are so determined. In that case, Arin, take off your clothes."

"Okay... Eh? Eh??? You, you, what are you going to do?"

The abrupt request made Arin blush instantly.

"During the healing process, some dragon power may dissipate, possibly ruining your clothes. Besides, I must guide the flow of dragon power by observing, so you need to take off your clothes. Although you look young, you are a boy after all, and I, a real man, have no interest in men, so you can relax."

As Long Yi was saying this, he was cleaning the miscellaneous objects in the room. The energy flowing later will be rather intense, so he needed to clear some space. Fortunately, the room Wesley arranged for Arin was a single room. There was no one else, otherwise, they would have to find another place.

After cleaning up, Long Yi turned his head to look at Arin. By this time, Arin had completely undressed and was standing in the middle of the room, his face red down to his neck, his hands were always subconsciously wanting to cover his chest and between his legs. The little dragon Silver Ray was squatting on Arin’s shoulder, looking at Long Yi. For some reason, there seemed to be some anger in his eyes.

Seeing Arin standing there awkwardly, Long Yi couldn’t help but find it strange. The nobles’ young masters sure were troublesome. What’s there to be so shy about?

"Alright, from now on, it’s up to you. Silver Ray, come here!"

Upon hearing the command, Silver Ray landed on Long Yi’s arm. Long Yi felt Silver Ray’s grip was unusually strong, and its gaze seemed to begrudge him for something.

"Silver Ray, calm down. I know you’re excited, but don’t get carried away. Remember, you need to focus now," Long Yi said.

At this moment, Arin also took a deep breath and said, "Silver Ray, I’m fine, it’s up to you." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Hearing this, Silver Ray finally relaxed. Long Yi grinned and took out a small knife, making a small cut below Silver Ray’s neck. Immediately, blood that emitted a dazzling light flowed out.

As expected, just as the old dragon Tyl had predicted, Silver Ray’s blood was completely filled with silver light.

However, this silver light differed from the usual silver light. This silver light had already fused with the dragon’s blood, so it wouldn’t be toxic to Arin.

Long Yi stretched out a finger, dipped it into a bit of dragon blood, infused it with his own mana, making the light from the dragon blood even more dazzling. Then he came up to Arin and gently touched his forehead.

"Ah..."

A scream punctuated the air before tapering off into firm restraint. The excruciating pain, hitherto unknown, swept across Arin instantaneously. However, Arin merely twitched, refusing to cower!

Long Yi’s eyes lit up. The child was even stronger than he had anticipated! He continued to draw odd runes one by one on Arin’s forehead. Each time Long Yi’s finger traced the rune, Arin would be assaulted with unbearable pain. Even though his complete body was trembling with agony, he simply kept his eyes shut without uttering another scream.

Meanwhile, the little dragon in Long Yi’s hand also had its eyes closed, with a faint tremor running through its body, presumably signifying a similar pain.

Yes, this was the treatment method the elder dragon Tyl had taught Long Yi.

The ancient secret technique of the Dragon Clan. Dragon Blood Rebirth.

Creating cryptic runes with the Dragon Clan’s blood, laden with Dragon Power, on the Dragon Knight’s body. Upon completion, the Dragon Knight would harness the regenerative force of the Dragon Blood to undergo Reincarnation. In the process, the Dragon Clan would lose some of their strength. It wasn’t a permanent loss, but its recovery was undeniably slow.

The more enriched the Dragon Power in the Dragon Blood, the potent the strength the Dragon Knight would obtain, and proportionately, the more intense the pain.

This ancient secret technique was kept hidden by the Dragon Clan to prevent humans from forcibly extracting their power. But Tyl confided it to Long Yi, clearly cherishing him deeply. It was assured that Long Yi wasn’t one to blabber, and he definitely wouldn’t spread such knowledge.

The drawing of runes continued. Long Yi had completed the front side of Arin’s body and was currently working on his back. It seemed like the little silver dragon was nearly at its limit.

That couldn’t be helped. Even though it was a dragon, its body was too small, with limited blood. Looking at the frail Silver Light resting in his hand, Long Yi suddenly asked mentally,

"Maybe, we should stop here?"

Upon hearing Long Yi’s question, Silver Light jerked its eyes open. When it saw that only half of Arin’s back had been completed, it weakly but adamantly shook its head, conveying its resolve.

"So, you’d rather die than leave him powerless? You, little one, make quite a dependable comrade."

Long Yi chuckled. On the battlefield, aside from the weapon in your hand, the only other thing you can rely on is your fellow comrades. You can fearlessly charge at the enemy while entrusting your back to your comrade, who, in return, would guard your trust with everything. A reliable comrade, indeed, surpasses all weapons.

Unwittingly, Long Yi began to yearn for his comrades.

Without further ado, Long Yi began tracing each rune meticulously. Finally, all the runes were completed. Although Silver Light had passed out much earlier, that didn’t pose any problem.

In fact, Long Yi had also exhausted a significant amount of energy. After all, he had just unleashed the strength of Giants. His power wasn’t formidable; his Mana was limited. He had to pour his entire being into it, even draining all his Fighting Aura to make as much room as possible for Mana.

With the completion of the final stroke, Long Yi was almost drained of all his energy. Arin’s body was adorned with Dragon Blood runes that shone brightly, under the influence of Dragon Power. Long Yi turned Arin around, placing his hand on Arin’s chest. Together, they recited the hard-to-pronounce dragon chants,

"Reincarnation!"

Boom!

The runes switched their brilliance from silver-white to red, circulating around Arin’s body in a strange pattern. The vigorous vitality intertwined with Dragon Power, and simultaneously, Silver Light woke from its stupor. Its wounds had already healed, its vitality restored completely!

Arin and Silver Light slowly rose mid-air, merging into a huge cocoon of light. Long Yi stared at the cocoon, feeling the flow of Dragon Power within. It was indeed a birthplace of a new life.

Meanwhile, back in the dormitory, Wesley had concluded his observation of the Shadow Dragon and the Fairy Dragon, feeling elated. Such a rare opportunity as witnessing a Fairy Dragon was something not even a world war could trigger.

He was intrigued. Why did this Fairy Dragon, a dragon by nature, look like an adorable girl?

Wait, an adorable girl?

A girl?

Had he forgotten something?

Wesley was suddenly taken aback!

Damn it! There was something important he had forgotten to tell Brother Long!

Wesley grabbed the Observation Dragon and bolted out. Seeing this, Bajie also stood up and started running. The little Fairy Dragon girl was attached to Bajie’s head as if she was a magnet, not moving an inch, while the Shadow Dragon followed Bajie quietly.

As Wesley ran, he was filled with trepidation. He silently hoped that no mishap occurred.

Arin’s ward was just ahead. As Wesley was about to push the door open, it swung inside out. He was met with Long Yi standing there with an awkward and flustered expression.

A nervous Wesley rushed over and blurted out,

"Brother Long, I forgot to tell you something. Actually, that Arin..."

"Is a charming girl."
