Reborn As A Evil Dragon

However, if it is the most helpful spell in battle, it must be the sixth-tier instant teleportation spell.

Therefore, I thought for a while and decided to list instant teleportation as one of the three core spells.

Under normal circumstances, I would be too lazy to make any choice. When I get tired of studying any spell, I would just switch to another one. After all, mastering more Return-level spell runes will only have advantages and no disadvantages for the caster.

There is a requirement for a spellcaster to advance on the legendary road, that is, they need to master a large number of Return-level spell runes. There are quantitative requirements for sleight-of-hand, low-tier, middle-tier, high-tier, top-tier, and super-tier spell runes.

If it is a special profession among spellcasters, the requirements are likely to be more stringent.

Compared with ordinary warriors, it is much more difficult for spellcasters to advance to Legend, and the ratio is even more than ten to one.

But correspondingly, after a caster is promoted to Legend, even a Legendary Dragon will be more polite to them at the same level.

A master-level warrior with an elite template is promoted to a legendary warrior, and the template may become an ordinary legendary template among Legends.

But spellcasters are different. Even if a master-level spellcaster with an elite template is promoted to Legend and becomes a Legendary Mage, they remain an elite template among Legends. It is not difficult for them to fight across ranks.

Having said that, under normal circumstances, there is no need to rush to learn spells. The situation in the Tal plane is tense now, and it may expand in scale at any time, potentially leading to a final decisive battle between the two camps. By then, there will probably not be many living beings in the Tal plane able to escape this massive storm vortex of power and rule.

Therefore, in terms of strength, if I can improve faster, I should speed up.

Unlike the improvement of the physical body, spell-like abilities, and natural abilities of creatures, after a spellcaster reaches the master level, their physical improvement will be very small. However, there will be a qualitative improvement in mental power and their mana pool.

At that time, with the same magic power, the power and effect of the spells released will be much stronger than those of advanced spellcasters.

It is normal for an intermediate spell released by a master spellcaster to kill a high-level warrior.

At the same time, the qualitative change in mental power not only greatly improves the five senses, expands the range of mental power, and makes spell control more precise, but also gives birth to the natural ability of crisis premonition. This ability allows one to subtly sense danger directed at oneself, enabling early warnings.

Of course, this ability still depends on the individual and the level of the danger source, and it is definitely incomparable to real prophecy.

"The caster is promoted to master, with qualitative changes in magic and spiritual power, and then learns a few top-tier spells of the seventh or eighth tier, plus the level of creatures improved during the period."

My red dragon eyes shone lightly with a look of anticipation.

At that time, my strength will no longer be comparable to that of the legendary professionals who have just been promoted. I will not be too afraid of veteran legendary professionals or even legendary dragons when I face them.

At that time, whether in the Tal plane or the Abyss plane, I will have the strength to secure a place for myself.

After my thoughts wandered for a while, I quickly immersed myself in the practice of magic.

---

After a few days, I opened my eyes.

The cooldown time for the feast had arrived once again.

I recited the spells, activated the space storage spell, and ripples appeared in the space above the dragon pond. A large number of corpses of abyssal creatures fell rapidly, piling up in front of me.

These were the abyssal specialties I had stored in advance.

As I was about to start eating, I suddenly felt something stir in my heart.

In other words, could I take the feast as my belief?

Looking at the corpses of abyssal creatures piled up in front of me, I fell into deep thought.

First of all, I could be very sure that I had a desire to eat and a craving for delicious food in my heart.

Therefore, the feast could naturally be regarded as my belief and practice.

But at the same time, I could also be very sure that my desire for food was not as strong as my desire for beauties.

But—

"The Void Feast is my strongest skill and the foundation for me to become stronger. It can accompany me forever," I said to myself. Every month, I have the greatest desire to devour.

I could not guarantee that my belief in beauties would not become indifferent after thousands of years, and my belief in becoming stronger was too vague, easily influenced by laziness and other factors.

In this special psychic profession, if you have a firm belief, you must unite your heart and actions. For example, if you take becoming stronger as your belief, you must dedicate yourself entirely to pursuing strength to cultivate this profession to its peak. If laziness arises, it will affect the purity and power of spiritual energy, making it impossible to reach the pinnacle of cultivation.

However, the belief in feasting was different. Although the "eating" belief in the essence of feasting was not as strong, the feast was my skill and would always accompany me, no matter whether it was a thousand or a million years.

And when the monthly feast begins, I would fall into an endless desire to eat. During that short period, my belief in the feast and "eating" would undoubtedly reach its peak.

Because at that time, I had no other desires at all—only the thought and craving for feasting and devouring everything.

Isn't having a monthly feast a monthly strongest passive practice of faith?

And it is an absolutely pure faith practice!

After thinking about it, I grinned and laughed wildly.

"Ooo, I'm such a genius black dragon! Hahaha!"

I closed my eyes and calmed my mind, recalling the method of condensing the power of faith to get started as a mountain believer.

Belief, also known as spiritual power, is also referred to as spiritual energy.

[Feast! Feast! Feast!!!]

[Eat! Eat! Eat!!!]

[Eat everything! Devour everything! Devour everything!!!]

I hinted at myself crazily, then followed the cultivation method in an attempt to condense the first ray of spiritual energy.

But soon I discovered that my desire to feast and devour was not strong enough, and the first ray of spiritual energy could not be condensed.

I glanced at my stat panel and looked at the feast cooldown time—only a few seconds remained.

"Start the feast!" I thought silently in my heart.

In an instant, the black dragon turned into a gluttonous beast, devouring everything in sight.

And the first ray of spiritual energy that had been impossible to condense and cultivate was easily condensed. Not only that, but the spiritual energy grew at a terrifying speed.

The first strand, the second strand, the tenth strand…

When the feast progress bar was full, I entered the strengthening stage, and the explosive growth of spiritual energy gradually slowed down.

But spiritual power still improved at an extremely rapid rate.

---

One day later, I woke up from my deep sleep. At the first moment, I felt a new force in my dragon body that was weak but extremely powerful in nature.

As soon as the thought occurred, the power in my dragon body silently flowed to my sharp dragon claws, barely covering one of them.

I stared at my dragon fingers with massive dragon eyes. With the naked eye, except for my dragon fingers, no trace of energy could be seen.

When my mental power was turned on, I could "see" the invisible surrounding energy shrouding the dragon's fingers.

I was probably mentally weak and could not even sense the existence of psychic energy.

I gently pointed, and the hard black rock in front of me was more fragile than tofu, penetrating easily.

I could easily do this with my pure body. Although the black rock was harder than iron, with my terrifying dragon body power and armor-sharding skill, even fine iron could be kneaded at will.

But that's when little strength is needed. Since doubling zero still results in zero.

But just now, I barely used any power—just a touch—and the dragon fingers, surrounded by spiritual energy, directly "pierced" the steel-hard black rock.

I found a precious piece of superior magic iron from the treasure pile.

Superior magic iron is not only hard, but weapons made from it greatly enhance the conduction of blood energy and increase the power of blood attacks.

The weapons of the high-level bone-blooded warrior from the Brown Forest Wild Dwarf clan who fought with me before were only made of low-quality magic iron. However, even low-quality magic iron is harder than ordinary steel and tougher than fine iron by a great margin.

Inferior quality, inferior quality, intermediate quality, superior quality, top quality—each level presents a significant quality gap.

In the past, this piece of high-grade magic iron was used to sharpen and polish my dragon teeth. Even if I sharpened the dragon's teeth with all my strength, the wear on this piece of high-grade magic iron was not great. After all, high-grade magic iron is durable enough to be used as the main material for making master-level equipment. The reason why master-level equipment is called "master-level" is that it can withstand fierce battles between masters without being easily damaged.

With anticipation, I poked the dragon claw around my spiritual energy.

"Squeak."

A harsh sound rang out, and a small hole was forcefully poked into the superior magic iron.

Continuing to exert force slowly, my thick dragon fingers gradually penetrated this piece of superior magic iron until it finally pierced through completely.

This piece of advanced magic iron was actually not very thick—only a few dozen centimeters.

I pulled out my dragon finger, and the spiritual energy surrounding it almost dissipated.

"This spiritual energy is very strong, but the amount is too small," I commented.

Excitement flickered in my dragon eyes.

Why?

Because even though it was only a small amount of spiritual energy, consumed in just one attack, it still gave me an extra killing move—a trump card.

If I engaged in close hand-to-hand combat with an enemy, at a critical moment, I could concentrate my spiritual energy on my dragon claws and stab with all my strength. I recalled the fight with the Eye Tyrant, whose eye could not have been punctured even though I had the Armor Shader skill—but now, it's very possible.

As long as the opponent's body was not comparable to legendary equipment or protected by legendary equipment, I estimated that my claws would break through their defenses and leave a bloody hole.

If I struck a vital part, I could kill in a single blow.

"My guess is indeed correct," I said excitedly.

Upon entering the Feast state, I had the purest desire to feast and devour.

In this state, even though it only lasted for a single day, it was possible to cultivate "some" powerful spiritual energy.

Even if my dragon body wasn't particularly massive, the "small" amount of spiritual energy I could cultivate with a normal human-sized body would probably be enough to support a simple battle.

A huge body brought both strength and certain limitations.

However, if psychic energy could completely envelop my entire dragon body, the increase in strength it would bring would far exceed that of smaller psychic creatures.

Just like energy output—under the same mass, if a gun barrel were ten centimeters thick versus ten meters thick, could the power of the fired shells be the same?

"The nature of my psychic power should be of the 'Gluttony' and 'Devour' type," I pondered.

If I continued to practice, the psychic characteristics that would emerge would most likely relate to gluttony and consumption.

Psionic characteristics were similar to the attributes and traits of fighting spirit. Flame fighting spirit was hot and burning. Frost fighting spirit was cold and freezing.

Psychic power with special attributes was far stronger than psychic power with ordinary attributes.

Therefore, developing the characteristics of psychic energy was no easy feat. I needed to continuously cultivate my spiritual power and firmly strengthen my beliefs.

However, I had one day per month to cultivate my faith with the ultimate effect. Even if my spiritual power did not improve at all during other times, I estimated that I would be able to develop my psychic characteristics in a short period.

I am such a cheat!

"Perhaps, it is truly possible to survive and evolve into the ultimate BOSS of the Tal Plane."

I grinned.

Creature order, spells, and psychic powers—these three forces were pulling my strength forward. Even if I was usually calm, at this moment, I couldn't help but feel a little inflated.

After letting my thoughts run wild for a while, I gradually calmed down.

I took out the vine log and used my spiritual power to extract the professional inheritance knowledge contained within it.

Apart from the part of spiritual training I had already mastered, I had forgotten all the extraordinary knowledge regarding the profession of Mountain Believer.

This was the rule and control of transcendent knowledge in the Astral Realm. If extraordinary knowledge learned could not be mastered within a short time, it would gradually fade from memory.

Because of this, I had to borrow the vine logs for ten years instead of just a few days.

In the inheritance of dragons, some ancient black dragon ancestors had vaguely recorded fragmented knowledge regarding this.

A long time ago, extraordinary knowledge of the star worlds could be spread freely. There was no need to record it on rare magical materials such as those from extraordinary creatures. Teachers taught apprentices, and apprentices could write down extraordinary knowledge. Even if they did not learn it, simply remembering it would prevent them from forgetting it.

I didn't know whether the fragmented information left behind was true or false, and I lacked the ability to investigate it. The only reason I even knew of it was because I had accidentally read Dragon's Heritage when I had some free time.

"Now that I've successfully cultivated spiritual energy, I can also start practicing martial arts," I thought to myself.

The Mountain Believer profession was mainly divided into two parts: one focused on the training of [Psychic Power], and the other on the training of [Martial Skills].

Martial skills could also be referred to as skills, techniques, spells, or even the secret arts of other professions.

Psionics were the foundation—energy.

Martial skills were the power amplifiers, enhancing spiritual energy to achieve greater destructive force and effects.

With deep curiosity, I sifted through the extraordinary knowledge stored in my mind and soon found the recorded martial arts.

[Mountain Believers]

Mountains: The true essence of martial arts—if still, one risks falling carelessly; but if in motion, the sky collapses.

Believers: Believe in oneself—I am my own believer.

[Professional Martial Arts]

Common martial arts: Stone Fist, Gale Combo, Rolling Stone Strike, Mountain Collapse Throw, Explosive Thunder, Spiral Power, Psychic Barrier, Hundred Split Fist, Destruction and Step, Extreme Power, Shunpo, Mind Fist, Walk By…

Professional core martial arts: Immovable as a Mountain, Mental Meditation, Mountain Power, One with Mountain, Mountain Shape, The Unchanging Mountain, Immortal Mountain…

The large number of professional martial arts skills dazzled me for a while.

For the first time, I looked at the two martial arts skills, Rolling Stone Strike and Mountain Collapsing Throw.

[Rolling Stone Strike]: Although the rolling stone is slow, no one can stop it. A psychic charging move.

[Collapse Mountain Throw]: If you cannot break away from the psychic lock, you must capture the opponent, and then the psychic energy will cause a concussion and throw him out, causing his body to break apart.

Judging from the introduction, these two moves reminded me of the battle between Lyanna and the wild dwarves more than ten years ago.

At that time, Lyanna only used these two moves to directly crush the top combat power of the wild dwarves.

The powerful force of that martial skill, even now, every time I think about it, can still make me feel a little emotional.

Although, judging from my current strength, Lyanna was just like that back then, maybe slightly stronger than the average level 19 professional.

However, the significant experiences we had when we were weak are always the most impressive.

However, I did not choose these two martial arts immediately but continued to read the descriptions of other martial arts.
