After soaking in the Magic Liquid for less than five minutes, the four young dragons were picked up and tossed into another clear pool one by one to wash off the remaining Magic Liquid on their bodies.
One of the four young dragons' skin was almost rotting. There were traces of purple corrosion on its armpits, abdomen, and neck.
Even the pupils of the other dragon were slightly stained purple.
The benefit of this infection was that these two young dragons' arcane magic talent was much better than before. They were almost at the peak of what could be achieved at their age.
After soaking in the Magic Liquid, they rolled around in the crystal sand so that their delicate skin could be rubbed and hardened faster.
The crystal sand was specially made. Its hardness and friction had been precisely calculated by the seven-colored dragons. There would not be any problems.
Lu Sheng did as he was told. After rolling around, he began to eat.
He ate in a separate dragon cave. Some living creatures were placed inside. They were all animals that had been infected by high levels of Magic Power.
For example, there were stag, wild boars, and wild wolves.
The four young dragons were allowed to hunt these animals on their own.
Lu Sheng took some time to get used to the young dragon's body. Then, he quickly completed his first hunt. A strong wild boar had its throat ripped out by him. It struggled for more than ten minutes before its blood ran dry and it stopped moving.
The other three young dragons were slightly slower, but they successfully hunted.
Then, the dragon queen personally instructed them on how to handle the prey before eating.
The seven-colored dragons ate cooked food. Most of it was no different from humans. However, due to their large appetite, they were relatively crude.
Their preferred cooking method was to control elemental flames to roast the meat. Then, they would sprinkle various spices and salt on the meat during the roasting process.
This sounded delicious, but the seven-colored dragons did not remove their innards. They just ate it directly.
Days passed by.
Under the dragon queen's guidance, the four young dragons gradually learned to hunt, eat, defecate, grooming themselves, and other daily activities on their own.
They could finally live independently.
"Alright, alright. Come here now." Keboye loudly chided the three young dragons who were playing. Then, he called out to Lu Sheng who was studying the gems and antiques at the side.
The four Dragon Whelps gathered around and sat side by side, looking at Keboye.
"As the Seven-colored Dragon Tribe's arcane art teacher, from today onwards, I, Keboye, will guide you in completing your basic arcane art studies. On top of that, I'll also be your world studies professor."
"World studies?"
"Yes, World Studies." Although Keboye was the meanest male dragon in the Seven-colored Dragon Tribe, he was undoubtedly the most knowledgeable and experienced. This was because he had obtained all of this in exchange for the countless scars on his body and a crippled hind leg.
It was the most precious treasure.
"I will tell you the more detailed structure of this world. Although this process will give you more unknowns and doubts, I won't be responsible for answering all of them," Keboye replied solemnly.
"Are you talking about what you've experienced?" a Dragon Whelp asked loudly.
"Of course, from the moment I opened my mouth, nothing I said was a lie!" Keboye glared at the young dragon with a sinister look.
"Then, let's begin."
"First, I want to give you a rough explanation of the structure of the entire world," Keboye said loudly.
"The world we live in is known as the main material plane. There are countless plane worlds surrounding the main material plane. These worlds vary in size. The largest among them are the representative celestial realm, abyss, hell, and the Elemental Sea.
"The celestial realm is where the celestial beings and gods reside. The abyss is where the devils and devil lords reside. As for hell, it's where the devils reside. "
"What about the Elemental Sea?" Lu Sheng raised his hand and asked. Other than a pair of colorful cicada wings, the seven-colored dragons had four limbs. Hence, they could use their hands to do chores like humans.
"The Elemental Sea is where countless Elemental Planes gather. It's also the favorite place of many Spell Casters. It's filled with countless elemental energies and strange mysterious creatures. The most famous among them are the Four Great Elemental Planes, "Keboye gave a brief introduction.
"Understood." Lu Sheng nodded.
"If there are no more questions, I'll now formally explain to you the general structure of the celestial realm …"
…
…
In the blink of an eye, five years had passed.
In the middle of the continent, in the depths of White Shirt Mountain where the seven-colored dragons and the others lived in seclusion.
The four young dragons had grown into little dragons that were about two meters tall. They had been taught many subjects and had a good understanding of the basics of survival.
At the same time, during these five years, Keboye had taught them the most basic elemental refinement.
Mastering elemental magic was a basic skill that every seven-colored dragon had to know.
Seven-colored dragons did not have powerful close combat abilities. They merely relied on their extremely high elemental affinity and arcane talent.
After five years of basic guidance, the four young dragons' bodies were finally ready. It was time for them to experiment with elemental energy.
"Elemental Art is a general term for manipulating elemental energy. In the past, the Church of the God of Combat came up with a series of precise assessment systems for each class. Although the system wasn't passed down, similar assessment systems were also created. " Keboye watched as the four young dragons attempted to manipulate the mud mixed with various elements before them.
This was an extremely important lesson for him. After this, his lessons would be greatly reduced. These young dragons would have to rely on themselves.
The Seven-colored Dragon Tribe had many collections of books and enchanted items. It was enough for them to explore and experiment.
One of the young dragons raised his hand and asked, "Well then, may I know what use this classification system has for us?"
"Of course it does. The other tribes have categorized us dragons into different corresponding class levels. Take the four of you for example. As young dragons among the seven-colored dragons, you won't be higher than Rank 5, but you won't be lower than Rank 2 either. "
"To put it simply, it's a comparison between Warriors. Your current hunting and combat abilities are at most on par with a Rank 5 Warrior. At the very least, you're at the standard of a Rank 2 Warrior, "Keboye explained. "That's between Rank 5 and Rank 2.
"Don't underestimate Warriors. After they become Rank 2 Warriors, it means that they possess a physique that surpasses ordinary people. They can no longer be considered mortals."
Keboye spoke with fervor and assurance. He explained the classification of class levels to the four young dragons in detail.
After explaining this, he began to talk about Arcane Arts.
Arcane Arts were similar to Warriors. They were also divided into many levels. Sorcerers were judged according to their spellcasting levels.
According to Keboye, spellcasters were also divided into many schools. The Elemental School was only one of them. They controlled the destructive power of elemental energy. They were known as the Evocation School.
There were also the Necromancy School, the Enchantment School, the Summoning School, the Divination School, and so on.
Most importantly, spellcasting required the consumption of one's mental power on the surface, and the amount of mental power on the surface was constant for any living being.
Although the consumption of mental power on the surface could be automatically recovered every day, the spell incantations that were memorized in this portion of mental power would also be completely forgotten when the spell was cast.
Hence, the memorization of the spell had to be repeated.
Putting aside the other young dragons, when Lu Sheng listened to this part, he felt that it was strangely familiar.
This rule reminded him of a type of western spellcasting rule that he had heard of on Earth.
What surprised him even more was that the latter part of Keboye's explanation was extremely similar to a type of spellcasting rule in his memory.
In particular, the number of spells that a spellcaster could cast every day was fixed. They were triggered and released by connecting to the magic net.
This left a deep impression on him.
After Keboye's lesson ended, he quickly organized the information he had obtained. Then, he pestered Keboye to tell him everything he knew about spellcasting.
Soon enough, Lu Sheng learned from Keboye.
A spellcaster's rank was determined by the corresponding spell's rank and the number of spells they could cast.
After five years of elemental refinement, these young dragons had basically fulfilled the most basic requirements to cast spells.
That was basic elemental control.
The seven-colored dragons' outstanding elemental talent allowed them to weave the four major elemental energies into various special forms and play with them in their palms.
Unfortunately, Keboye did not teach them any elemental spells. Instead, he allowed them to study on their own in the library cave.
After receiving permission, the four young dragons dashed into the library cave. They happily found their favorite books and read them carefully.
There was no entertainment in this world. They had long coveted the books in the library cave, but they did not dare to enter because of their elders. Now that they had received permission, they were like fish in water. They buried themselves in the pile of books and were unwilling to come out.
It was the same for Lu Sheng. He immediately found the learning materials for spellcasters from Rank-1 to Rank-9.
Although they were compiled by humans, the seven-colored dragons had modified them and made them one of the basic teaching materials for their own tribe.
As soon as he received the teaching materials, he immersed himself in the world of various spells, unable to extricate himself.
As for the other young dragons, they were still able to maintain their enthusiasm for learning while the novelty was still fresh in their minds.
However, when they received permission to go out later on, the three young dragons immediately dashed out of the dragon cave happily. They played around the surroundings until they forgot everything else.
Even the things they had learned in the past were rusty, let alone improving their studies.
The dragon queen did not stop them when she saw this.
The playfulness of a young child was also very useful for a young dragon's mental and physical health.
On the other hand, she and the other dragon instructors were rather worried about Lu Sheng who buried himself in books all day long. They were worried that Lu Sheng's eccentric and unsociable nature might cause some negative effects and regrets in the future.
Hence, they often persuaded Lu Sheng to go out and play with the other young dragons.
However, they were all sternly rejected by Lu Sheng.
Under normal circumstances, when a seven-colored dragon was 10 years old, it would naturally develop an organ that could control the evocation spell, Fireball Art.
When it was 50 years old, it would be able to freely control the fire elemental spells below Rank-5. At the same time, it would be able to easily control the other elemental spells below Rank-3.
This was the gift of the seven-colored dragons. They were natural elemental spellcasters. They were born with at least Rank-3 spellcasting ability. There was no need for them to learn this. All they had to do was grow up normally.
However, Lu Sheng was not satisfied with this.
