Tale of the Red Dragon Without Dragon's Might-Chapter 455 - 447: Who Hasn’t Changed

When Sharon first hatched, she was only the size of a cheetah, but now she’s entered her young dragon phase and has grown much larger.

Her shoulder height is nearly two meters, and her body length is four meters, including her neck—which isn’t very long due to her short-necked Blue Dragon mother—and her tail, the total length is still less than ten meters, resembling an off-road vehicle.

The problem right now is that, clearly as a Nether Dragon, she’s mastered most spells below the fifth ring at her youth... and this is despite her lack of interest in spells and her frequent distractions; she’s rather fond of lowering her head and showcasing the massive horn on her nose, charging into combat with a "headbutt charge" stance.

"Only beasts succumb to instinct; as a dragon, you must learn restraint."

"Repay grievance with virtue, but how is virtue repaid? Repay grievance with sincerity, repay virtue with virtue."

"Bravery is not recklessness, determination is not extremism."

"Of the thirty-six strategies, retreat is the best."

Leon originally handed over Sharon’s education to Tassera.

As the Storage Dragon, Tassera’s focus on education was to train Sharon as a mage... Essentially, just nurturing Sharon’s abilities, similar to many mothers who only know how to send their children to study and enroll them in tutoring classes, focusing solely on their academic achievements. In the end, Leon still had to take charge of Sharon’s value and ideological education, frequently keeping her by his side, teaching through personal example.

"Bring me a glass of water."

"It’s not laziness forcing you to do it but an opportunity for you to practice."

"Look at this document and share your thoughts."

Frankly, Leon was a parent from the ’90s, never indulging the child and refrained from playing the role of an omnipotent superhero, preferring to delegate tasks to the child. Unknowingly, Sharon became particularly capable at a young age, not only able to care for her "paralyzed" father but also capable of handling documents, acting as Leon’s little secretary and assistant.

Over time, besides transforming Sharon from a baby dragon to a young dragon, Tassera also underwent significant changes.

Due to life progression from a mortal entity to a sacred Titan, Tassera’s stature quickly grew from super giant to giant size, and because of the Karsus Crown, she transitioned from being unable to perform eighth-ring spells to effortlessly mastering ninth-ring spells, making her a formidable opponent even for Secondary Demon Lords.

"Why isn’t she my daughter?"

"I too want to have a daughter like that one day."

Watching Tassera bear Leon’s outstanding eldest princess, Cecilia, always competing with Tassera, couldn’t accept giving birth to ordinary children.

Her current goal is to become stronger, transform into a sacred being before considering childbirth. She once accumulated difficult-to-earn Gold Coins to acquire rare alchemy materials, hopeful for Leon to refine a Heavenly Immortal Pill for her.

Unlike Tassera, Cecilia’s path is about excavating power from deep within her bloodline, her strength enhancement rate falling far behind Tassera, but not so much that she’d get left too far behind. Right now, she’s capable of challenging typical Ancient Green Dragons without issue.

Compared to Tassera and Cecilia, Fiora indeed lacks talent, but fortunately, she has no ambition either... Initially, if it weren’t for Isily’s coaxing, she wouldn’t even be enthusiastic about bearing children for Leon.

Recently, Angelica has become addicted to gambling, winning one out of ten times, yet because Leon requires her to provide fire for refining the Heavenly Immortal Pill, he occasionally gives her some Gold Coins, ensuring that she has at least a bit of money on hand.

Salovis is still the same, eating and sleeping every day without change.

"You’ll never earn money beyond your own cognition."

"If you don’t study hard, you’ll end up like them."

"Surely you don’t want to become like them, do you?"

Unless a battle breaks out that requires Angelica and Salovis, otherwise, as bona fide Red Dragons, they only mess things up, don’t get things done, and serve as a negative example Leon uses to educate his daughter.

Regarding Isily, she’s already become a young dragon, yet mating instinct roughly paired with fertility usually occurs mid-youth, meaning there’s still some time, for which she harbors many thoughts but remains inactive.

If Isily is a giant in thought but a dwarf in action, Laksha is different—she possesses action alongside ideas, but Leon isn’t someone who acts on whim.

...

Leon isn’t overly interested in becoming king or dominance. In his view, it’s not as important as accompanying his daughter’s growth, and so, even with knowledge of Nine Breath Qi, he undertakes no actions, it does not mean he has reached his limits.

He never forgets to breathe in nature’s spiritual energy, with the beginning and mid-monthly consumption of Sun and Moon Essence being routine tasks, spending much time researching the fusion of Samadhi True Fire and Sanmei Divine Wind, albeit with limited success.

"Has it grown again?"

"How much larger than before?"

Leon had already acquired super giant size, but this doesn’t mean his body won’t continue to grow.

After Bone Shedding and Rebirth, transforming from giant to super giant, his overall length exceeded forty meters, now nearing fifty meters, with wingspan exceeding sixty meters, though body length remains at fifteen meters, nonetheless surpassing the majority of Ancient Red Dragons.

Only ignorant children believe Leon’s fame across the Multi-universe stems from his robust and immaculate physique. Anyone who has crossed paths with him knows his spells are incredibly powerful, talking about his fires, his winds, his Dharma Body towering between heaven and earth.

Never mind the few blue bars Nine Breath Qi grants him, his current mana is sufficient to sustain Fatian Xiangdi for over five minutes, doubling his mana compared to when he slaughtered on the Blood War Battlefield.

Samadhi True Fire, being a high-level reward, remains effective since his baby dragon phase until now.

With Sanmei Divine Wind, the Soul Summoning Mantra has truly been sidelined; Leon can’t remember how long it’s been since he used the Soul Summoning Mantra.

The Vajra Body and Three Heads and Six Arms are now maintained effortlessly. Only overwhelmingly powerful attacks might shatter his Vajra Body in a single hit.

Leon seldom utilizes Downy Hairs in daily life, yet he remains optimistic about them for a simple reason: the doubles summoned by Downy Hairs grow stronger with his corporeal form. The doubles he currently summons likely have a challenge level exceeding twenty.

Leon has continually sought to ascertain his challenge level, but lacks a rival for comparison.

"Watchtower Port is nearly due for expansion again."

"The Brass Dragon may suffer, but I shall bear the glory."

Not only have individuals changed dramatically, but Watchtower Port has also evolved substantially. While still not reaching the scale of Border’s Gate, the gap is diminishing; it’s only a matter of time.

Only Zhen Dan Kingdom’s territory remains unchanged, without a bit of development... But soon, Zhen Dan Kingdom can also expand, as Leon’s peace treaty with the elves is about to expire.
