X-Dragon Era

Take Xin Yun as an example, even if he never came here, he could learn to fly using his wings, but it would be very difficult for him to truly tap into the potential of his wings. This is just like the sprinters on Earth who, even though they can run without formal training, can run much faster once they have undergone proper coaching!

In fact, science has proven that with the right training methods and the right way to run, everyone can reach a higher level, approach, or even surpass the limits of the human body, something that's quite hard to achieve without formal training.

Without training, perhaps Xin Yun would only ever be able to utilize 50% of his wings' capability, but once he underwent training, he would at the very least be able to exercise 100% of his own strength, and with continuous training, he might even reach 120%, or even 200% of his capacity.

Moreover, formal training and learning can not only make Xin Yun fly higher and faster but also more agilely, mastering more flying techniques.

Many things are like this; if you rely on self-exploration, you may only figure out one way in your lifetime, but if you study, you can learn a hundred tricks and methods in just one day, and Combat Dragon Academy is just such a place of learning.

After a whole day of training, Xin Yun mastered a major flying technique—charging forward. Simply put, it's about how to use his wings to generate enough propulsion to drive his body to surge forward.

It might seem quite simple, but the requirements are exceptionally strict. The angle at which the wings open, the angle changes during the wing flaps, the turning motion of the wings—everything must be precise. Only in this way can one minimize resistance and obtain the maximum thrust to achieve high-speed charging forward.

With the experience from his past life, Xin Yun placed exceptional importance on fundamentals. Unlike others, throughout the entire training process, Xin Yun kept stopping to take notes. Whenever he had any doubts, he quickly asked his tutor for clarification. By the end of the day, he had written down a large notebook, easily over a hundred pages.

Not just writing them down, but in the process of flying, Xin Yun repeatedly compared his notes, checking his flying style, constantly reflecting, and correcting any mistakes he found.

Exhausted both physically and mentally after a whole day of training, Xin Yun did not get to rest after dinner. After obtaining leave from his tutor Musha, he immediately left the academy and rushed back to his shop, after which, under the guidance of Mother Lan, he arrived at a building beside the academy.

It was a villa with a spacious courtyard, featuring a huge swimming pool, surrounded by green grass, and enclosed by lush trees, which was incredibly beautiful and tranquil. Your next chapter is on empire

The villa was quite large, with more than two thousand square meters and two floors. Though somewhat old-fashioned, it was stately and elegant, evidently a residence that once belonged to someone of importance.

Master Xi Ming was quite satisfied with this building, but he refused to stay in the villa at the front, choosing instead to conduct his research in the wine cellar behind it.

The cellar was situated behind the villa, under a small cabin surrounded by trees, a place where notable figures used to store wines. Inside, the space was vast, over a thousand square meters large, capable of storing thousands of barrels of wine. But now, it was no longer being used for wine storage.

After clearing out the miscellaneous items, it became Master Xi Ming's research lab—after all, no place could be quieter than a basement.

Looking around, Xin Yun was very pleased with the environment and Master Xi Ming was even more so, leading them to immediately finalize the deal. After paying a million gold, the property became part of Xin Yun's assets.

Having taken over the property, Xin Yun prepared to close the shop. Most of the Dragon Crystal he had brought back last time had sold out, leaving a meager and mismatched stock remaining, so it made sense to offload the remainder to other stores at a reduced price and shut down the shop for good.

The three female shop assistants would not be let go after the closure; they would continue to be employed, but their workplace would change to the villa, where they would be in charge of cleaning and maintaining the yard.

As for Mother Lan, Xin Yun did not arrange any specific work for her. Through recent interactions, he had come to understand that Mother Lan was a very typical homebody who did not enjoy being in the limelight at work. She cherished staying at home, supporting her husband and teaching her children, content to sit peacefully all day without feeling restless or bored.

In the past, Mother Lan kept busy outside only for the sake of Ming Xuan. If she didn't work, both she and her child would have starved. But now, with no more worries about daily subsistence, naturally, there was no reason for her to continue working.

What Mother Lan loved most was tending to plants, so... with Xin Yun's consent, she planned to clear all the grass from the over ten thousand square meter courtyard, the size of two football fields, and replace it with various kinds of flowers. To ensure the flowers' growth wouldn't be hampered, she even uprooted the trees, fearing that their far-reaching roots would affect the blossoms.

The land surrounding the villa was expansive, in an elongated rectangle shape, with the villa situated at its centerpoint. The front and back as well as the left and right spaces in the courtyards were to be cleared of all plants, after which a variety of flowers would be planted.
