Chapter Eighteen Preparing for School
What kind of aura is inside Long Tian and Mu Xiaomian's bodies?
"Ha ha, you say there's a fierce aura inside Xiao Mian's body every day?" Long Wu asked Long Ge in surprise.
"Yes, I can feel it, it's a water attribute aura!" Long Ge said affirmatively. "I reckon it was because Mother cultivated during pregnancy, so there's this effect."
"Are people born with a strong sense of justice rare?" Little Moon asked speculatively.
"Not just a little, but basically never!" Long Wu said affirmatively, "It seems that the future of our children is boundless!"
"Father, is there anything particularly formidable about having a Water Attribute Dou Qi from birth?" Long Yue asked curiously.
"Good question! Being born with a water attribute aura means that in the future, you can cultivate a water attribute aura. That would be awesome!" Long Wu said with a smile.
"Is it really that powerful just because you can cultivate water attribute Dou Qi?" Little Moon asked in confusion.
"Haha, how could you forget our identities?" Long Wu said with a smile.
"Father, are you saying that after they grow up to four years old, there will be other attributes of Dou Qi?" Long Ge somewhat understood.
"Yes, being born with a water attribute martial spirit means they're suitable for cultivating water attribute martial spirits. And by the time they're four years old, they'll produce gold and wood attribute martial spirits! That means they'll possess three attribute martial spirits. Three attribute martial spirits, ah, there aren't many people in the entire human continent who can possess that! Of course, excluding you, a genius." Long Wu sighed, unable to comprehend how Long Ge could have five attribute martial spirits.
"Isn't Dou Qi something that can be cultivated? Like Mother was originally a wood-attributed Dou Qi, how could she also cultivate water-attributed Dou Qi?" Long Ge asked, pretending to be puzzled, but actually he understood.
"Breath control can be cultivated through practice, but it will never surpass the strength of innate abilities. It's like a person who is born with the ability to speak multiple languages, they can also learn many more, but they'll never be as proficient as someone who spoke them from birth." Long Wu feared that Long Ge wouldn't understand, so he continued to explain: "Your younger siblings are naturally gifted with water attribute breath control, which means that in the future, their cultivation of water attribute breath control will be exceptionally effective. Perhaps after just one month of practice, they'll reach a level that others take ten years to achieve. That's why innate breath control is extremely important."
"After that, both of you became proficient in three attributes of Dou Qi?" Little Yue asked with some disbelief.
"Yes! That's why I said their examples are extremely rare, with three attributes of Dou Qi, their combat power may be three times that of others at the same level." Long Wu sighed and said "Like our Dragon family, we were born with a talent for gold attribute Dou Qi, and our arch-nemesis - Long Wudi, why is he so powerful? It's because he was born with fire attribute Dou Qi, plus gold attribute Dou Qi, wood attribute Dou Qi, that's why he can be invincible in our Dragon Empire. Those who are at the same level as him are not his match. He has two attributes of Dou Qi, gold and wood, also because his mother is from the Murong family, so when he killed Little Yue's parents, the Wood Empire did not directly declare war on us due to this relationship, but since then, the emotions between the two countries have been broken, and we no longer intermarry like before."
"Are there many people like Long Wudi with three attributes of Dou Qi?" Long Ge asked cautiously. If there are more people with three attributes of Dou Qi, then in future battles, the enemy's strength may not be judged by level, and others may also have multiple attributes of Dou Qi. If Long Ge fights across levels, he may end up being the one who fails.
"People with dual attributes are very rare, probably one in a hundred thousand; while those with triple attributes are even rarer, our five empires, each country probably only has a few dozen; and people with four attributes have only appeared once in history!" Long Wu recalled the information his old servant had told him.
"What level have these people reached?" Long Song also wanted to know.
"The dual-attribute Dou Qi are basically unbeatable in battles of the same level, so their survival ability is extremely strong. Following their dual-attribute innate talent development, even the worst ones in history can reach cyclone level, and the most powerful ones have transcended to fly up. Most of them flew up when they transcended, while a small number who failed to transcend had their own reasons. And I want to remind you that generally, imperial family children are all dual-attribute Dou Qi, because intermarriage between empires is too widespread, which not only enhances their strength but also makes their descendants even stronger! So be careful of this when fighting them in the future."
Long Wu took a sip of water and continued, "While the three-attribute Dou Qi people are extremely rapid in their cultivation, they have all basically reached the level of Qi Wang. A few who haven't reached that level were assassinated by other empires at a young age because the empire is most afraid of the birth of high-ranking three-attribute experts. Once those people reach the level of Qi Wang, they can be invincible in the Qi Wang level, whether it's opening up territory or plotting for power and overthrowing monarchs, all have a decisive role to play, just like Long Wu Di."
Long Song thought, "Yes, only when one's strength is great can they decide their own fate, and even the fate of a nation. I must work harder to cultivate myself."
"In the history of the Human Continent, there has only been one person with four attributes, and that person is called Long Lei." Dragon Warrior said.
"Is he one of our family?" Long Song thought this surname should be from the Jinling Shi family.
"Yes, he was the first emperor to create our empire. After reaching the Air King level, he opened up territory and led our Golden Dragon clan to occupy the Huanghe River Basin, rejecting the Ouyang clan in the north and the Murong clan in the south. Then, he drove the Yangliu clan to the lower reaches of the Huanghe River and the Lonely clan to the upper reaches of the Huanghe River, establishing our Dragon Empire."
"Is that all he said?" Long Ge asked in surprise.
"Of course not, he defeated them one by one. He first went to each of the four major families to challenge their heads, defeating each one and then sending them fleeing. Naturally, the other four family heads were not pleased, so they joined forces and went together to fight Long Lei, but even with all four of them combined, they still couldn't defeat Long Lei, which is why they had no choice but to accept being driven out. You have to know that among those four family heads, two had three attributes and two had dual attributes, yet they still couldn't beat the four-attribute Long Lei! At that time, Long Lei's prestige was truly unparalleled!" Dragon Fist said with admiration.
"After the establishment of the Dragon Empire in Jinling, other families also established their own empires with reluctance, so there are now the Wood Empire, Fire Empire, Earth Empire and Water Empire. However, the descendants of other families have always wanted to return to the Huanghe River Basin, but due to the lack of unity among other families, they did not attack the Dragon Empire until after Long Lei's ascension."
"Oh! I didn't know human continent had such a history!" Long Ge exclaimed.
"Yes! If you want to take a look at that glorious era, you can also see the related work "Dragon and Thunderbolt".
"......" Long Ge was stunned for a moment, thinking in his heart, what is Father talking about?
"It seems that my younger brother and sister are still very powerful!" Long Ge recovered from his foolishness, and he was extremely impressed by the potential of his younger siblings.
"Of course, you are a genius among geniuses, so your younger brother and sister must also be geniuses." Xiaoyue lovingly kissed the Tiantian in her arms.
"But it's best if the information about their three attributes of Dou Qi is known to as few people as possible, otherwise they will be in danger of losing their lives." Long Wu also patted the little cotton ball in his arms.
"It's like me, haha, can only show one attribute of Dou Qi at any time." Long Ge smiled and pinched the faces of his two younger siblings.
"Haha, only a genius like you can cover it up, others can't reach your level." Long Wu also said with a smile, he didn't know why Long Ge only showed one characteristic, but he knew that Long Ge could show only one attribute of Dou Qi was enough.
"Father, I know of another place where we can protect our younger brother and sister?" Long Ge thought for a moment before saying.
"Are you saying that even if they know they have three attributes of Qi, there's a place where they can be protected? Dragon Warrior thought for a moment and asked strangely, "I don't know such a place, do I?"
"You've also heard of it, it's the Imperial Academy!" Long Ge said.
Imperial College Introduction:
The largest force outside of the five empires, although it is called the Imperial Academy, is actually above and beyond the empires. It's only because the graduates serve in important positions in various empires that it's called the Imperial Academy.
The Imperial Academy has branches in every imperial capital, and those who have undergone rigorous training can enter the headquarters of the Imperial Academy.
The headquarters of the Imperial Academy is located in the Sky City above the Huanghe River, where young elites from all over the human continent gather. It is said that after coming out of it, they have basically cultivated to the level of Qi Wang, and a few who did not cultivate were killed in battle.
The Imperial Academy begins recruiting in the imperial capital every year after the New Year (the timing of the New Year is the same as Chinese New Year), with unlimited enrollment quota, and only looks at the student's potential.
"Oh, Imperial Academy, it's a great place. With talents like your younger brother and sister, they'll definitely receive the best protection." Long Wu suddenly realized.
"Yes, Father, in order to lay a good foundation for my younger brother and sister, I plan to go to the Imperial Academy when I'm five years old." Long Ge said.
"Can't you wait for two more years? I haven't loved you enough yet!" Little Moon said with some reluctance.
"Xiao Yue, has he ever caused us so much worry? He's been sensible since childhood and never cried," Long Wu said with relief. "Now he is the strongest in our village, staying here would be a waste of his time, after all, an eagle needs to be tempered to grow up."
"Alright, I wish Long Ge could stay with us a bit longer, so I can take a few more glances." Xiao Yue still couldn't bear to part with him.
"Mother, don't worry too much, anyway I can come back every year for the New Year," Long Ge comforted his mother. "I'm not going to the academy now, I'll wait until after the New Year, there are still six months left!"
"Alright then, you'd better spend the next six months accompanying your younger brother and sister." Xiaoyue could only say that, she also hoped her son would become a talent soon.
The next chapter bids farewell to the village
