There was beef.
Although Leo was reluctant, he still cooperated with Liszt for an invigorating training session.
After over a month of going out on campaign and consuming only some potions, his strength had increased at a very slow pace—not to say that it was slow, for compared to other Sky Knights, his training speed still seemed incredibly fast. But compared to the substantive strength growth that could be felt when training with a dragon, the strength gained from training alone was too little.
“Still, it feels more exhilarating to undergo Dragon Knight training,” he mused.
However, he also had certain worries, mainly that Leo’s emotional bond seemed to have hit a plateau, with even some backsliding. As a Quasi-Dragon Knight who had yet to successfully ride a dragon, he didn’t have the time to soak with Leo every day, using brainwashing to erode Leo’s aloofness.
This resulted in a profound rift between man and dragon.
Watching Leo’s drained appearance, he took out a pile of Magic Potions and handed them to it, while taking the opportunity to thoroughly pat it down. Leo did not resist his touch, but it seemed not to enjoy it either.
The good feelings accumulated previously had fallen back to square one.
Quite a difficult dragon to please.
“No wonder most Elemental Dragons are evil dragons. This kind of temperament is indeed annoying,” Liszt played with one of Leo’s scales. Its scales varied in size, with the ones on its neck, head, forelimbs, and wings being fine and dense, while the ones on its back were coarse and large, the biggest being as big as a washbasin.
The scale had a warm touch. Between the gaps, leaking Magic Power could be seen, faintly transforming and forming tiny red sparks.
The magic sparks were not hot to touch.
They were between magic and matter, not real sparks.
Sometimes he really wanted to tear off a scale and take it back for detailed study, but he had not put this idea into action.
Feeling the Magic Power attached to the scale and the abundant “Dragon’s Intent” inside, Liszt frowned and pondered, “How exactly did other Dragon Knights manage to succeed in dragon riding? Could it be that the temperament of Elemental Dragons is so poor that they cannot be ridden at all? Most of the dragons in the various kingdoms are Elemental Dragons and Metal Dragons, and it seems that only one or two are Elemental Dragons, none of them being Fire Dragons.”
He paused.
Then he thought, “Or is it that my strength is not enough? Perhaps only when I attain Completion Level of Advanced Dou Qi will Leo accept me, mount it, and form a bond… I should write a letter to Marquis Merlin and ask him what the state of Complete Advanced Dou Qi is like, whether it’s similar to the Intermediate Dou Qi of an Elite Earth Knight.”
The Primary Dou Qi of an Apprentice Knight is very simple, just the extraction of a special kind of Magic Power from the body, referred to as Dou Qi.
When Dou Qi sublimates to possess its own attribute, it advances to Intermediate Dou Qi, making one an Earth Knight.
When Intermediate Dou Qi becomes saturated in the body, one becomes an Elite Earth Knight. At this point, to continue training, one must rely on the shock of Magic Potions to break the shackles of their own cells, thus accommodating more Intermediate Dou Qi. A quantitative change induces a qualitative change, ultimately transitioning to Advanced Dou Qi.

The Advanced Dou Qi of a Sky Knight is a special form of Dou Qi that’s more particular than Intermediate Dou Qi, with the most significant change being its “lightness,” making levitation and flying effortless.
And when Advanced Dou Qi reaches saturation, one becomes a Completion Level Sky Knight.
What the state of Dou Qi is at this time, Liszt was not very clear – according to common records, Completion Level Sky Knights can begin to seek dragons to ride, perhaps the Complete Advanced Dou Qi at this stage aids in dragon riding. Or perhaps Complete Advanced Dou Qi can only continue to be cultivated with the aid of a dragon.
He speculated it was the latter, that one must rely on a dragon to break through the shackles of Complete Advanced Dou Qi.
“Oh-ho!”
After gobbling up its medicine, Leo let out an increasingly majestic roar. It glanced at Liszt, without lingering too long, and leapt directly into the air to fly towards the Volcano Crater, like a meteor descending into the magma. The magma churned and returned to normal, leaving only the steaming vapor and the scent of sulfur.
The sun was setting in the west.
Liszt stood quietly at the volcano crater, lost in his thoughts for a long while before he slowly began to descend the mountain.
Ach was by the seaside helping Rainbow Whale Rose scrub off dead skin. Seeing Liszt return, Ach immediately put down the brush, greeted Liszt with a serene smile, and Rose let out a cheerful “jiyou” sound.
The sense of loss experienced on Little Fire Dragon Leo
was quickly dispersed by this warm scene.
Compared to Little Fire Dragon Leo, Ach was much more considerate.
“Evil dragons will be evil dragons. It seems I have to employ some tougher measures, or Leo will hardly submit… But how should I be tough? It seems with my current strength, I may not necessarily be able to defeat it.” Even a young dragon possesses formidable power.
Merely transforming into a magic form is not enough to truly hurt it.
Moreover, with the environment of the volcano crater, Leo is nearly invincible here.
“Unless… I create a weapon out of volcanic glass, would I be able to attack Leo’s magic form? Actually, it shouldn’t be called a magic form but rather a Dragon’s Intent form.” Dragon’s Intent is the dragon’s magic power with extreme properties, a name Liszt coined inspired by Sword Intent.
There’s no use in overthinking.
He joined in smilingly to help with scrubbing Rose’s dead skin.
…
After spending a night in a log cabin on Dodo Island, Liszt got up early to pick a batch of Hemp Rope Vine seeds and Human Skull Fruit.
Then he left and headed back to Fresh Flower Town.
Upon his arrival at the seaside villa, he saw Retainer Knights pacing in the distance. Seeing Liszt, one quickly ran over: “My lord, you’ve finally come back. Lady Penelope and Lady Marie, as well as Sir Levis and his spouse, and Baroness Li Vera, are all waiting for you in the Castle.”
“Why have my grandmother and the others come?”
“They are here to celebrate your victory, sir. Sir Levis and his spouse also bring your nephew.”
“My nephew?” Liszt finally reacted, “Loria has given birth, to a boy? What’s his name?”
“A boy, named Richard.”
“Richard, huh…”
Liszt placed the Laver Bugs into the Worm Room’s pool, mounted the Landwalker Bird, and hurried back to the Castle. As he arrived, everyone, including Lady Penelope, came out to greet him, as enthusiastic as they ever were during his previous homecomings. The atmosphere, while simple, was fervent like never before.
Every homecoming saw an exponential surge in enthusiasm.
This was the opportunism every Noble learned since birth, but Liszt didn’t bother to reproach this behavior. Preferring wealth to poverty was human nature; the strong were worshiped, the weak looked down upon—even he himself preferred to look twice at pretty girls, rather than gaze upon an ordinary woman.
“Grandmother, why have you come to Fresh Flower Town in person?”
“How could I, an old woman living off the family, not come forth to welcome my genius grandson, the Tulip Family’s genius, on his triumph?” said Lady Penelope straightforwardly.
Liszt supported her arm: “I was held up here by some matters. I was planning to deal with the issues and, after that, travel to Tulip Castle personally to present the good news to you.”
“Your sentiment is what counts.”
At that moment, Loria, holding a baby swathed in a blanket, stood at the entrance of the Castle. Levis was waving vigorously: “Liszt, you’re an uncle now! Come and see your nephew, the fourth generation’s new member of our family!”
