Chapter 251: Chapter 55 Taming the Bone Dragon_4
Ah Dai gave a shy smile and said, "Please don’t mention it. Are you the chairman of the Guild?"
Kary nodded and said, "That day you truly opened our eyes. We didn’t expect that you could summon a dragon. Although I’ve never seen what a dragon looks like, I believe that what you summoned was a Silver Dragon, the most sacred. Only the Silver Dragon’s strong sacred aura could so quickly restrain the evil Bone Dragon. Could you please tell me how you managed to summon a Silver Dragon?" Apparently, after Sheng Xie’s evolution, his grey scales developed a lustrous sheen. Under the shining light, they could indeed twinkle with a faint silver glow. Given that no one on the continent had ever seen a real dragon, the glorification of Sheng Xie, who successfully defeated the Bone Dragon, naturally became widely accepted by the magicians.
Ah Dai muttered, not knowing how to respond, and stammered without uttering a word.
Kary didn’t pressure him and said, "No need to tell me if you don’t want to. Such powerful summoning magic is naturally a personal secret. However, as the Chairman of the Mage Guild, I am deeply honored to have such a high-level magician like you in our Guild."
Ah Dai smiled bitterly to himself. He was just an Intermediate Magician who knew the Fireball Technique and Flame Spell. With the help of Sheng Xie, he had somehow become a powerful magician. However, he couldn’t explain this himself and could only vaguely answer, "I, I just happened to do it. I didn’t confidently summon the dragon you mentioned."
Kary nodded and said, "I’ve read about summoning magic in the magic notes of some predecessors. The success of summoning magic does have a certain probability. Nevertheless, your summoning magic was indeed a surprise to us! Particularly when you returned the summoned dragon and took the Bone Dragon away at the end, it must have required great magic power. However, when I examined your body, although your spiritual power is not weak, it still seems to be some distance from that level."
Ah Dai had no way of responding to Kary’s words, so he changed the subject, "Chairman Kary, why did those people in black launch an attack on the Mage Guild?"
Upon mentioning the invading men in black, Kary’s train of thought indeed shifted. He frowned, giving a cold scoff, "Those despicable guys must have been instigated by someone. However, it’s better for you to know less about these matters. Those Dark Magicians who came that day were very powerful, especially the guy who cast the demon-summoning spell. I’m afraid his magic level is approaching that of a Magus. Thankfully, we reacted in time and sealed his Forbidden Magic before it could unleash its power. Otherwise, if too many dark creatures appeared, the City of Light would have been annihilated. After a day of strenuous efforts by the clerics from the church, they finally managed to completely eliminate that dark passage. It was so risky! By the way, Ah Dai, are you really from the Tian Gang Sword Sect? Lu Wen, a teacher from your sword sect, is a very good friend of mine."
Ah Dai replied, "He is my fourth martial uncle."
Kary’s eyes widened with surprise, "So you’re a third-generation disciple of the Tian Gang Sword Sect. No wonder you’ve achieved so much at such a young age. Your future is immeasurable!"
Ah Dai spoke somewhat despondently, "My skills are still too weak. The other day, I nearly died at the hands of the Bone Dragon."
Kary smiled, "Silly boy, don’t belittle yourself. Your skills are not low at all. To hold off the attacks of five Maguses and twenty assassins by yourself can only be described as miraculous. However, it seems that you are not very adept at using your own power. Otherwise, your attacks would certainly have more force."
Ah Dai was stunned, "Really? But why do I feel so useless?"
Kary assured him, "Of course it’s true. You saved the lives of more than a dozen mages in the Guild singlehandedly. How can that be useless? You can be considered a great benefactor of the Guild! Alright, don’t dwell on it. Rest well and recover your strength. If you need anything, just let us know. The Guild will do its utmost to meet your needs."
Looking at Kary’s sincere smile, Ah Dai’s confidence gradually returned. His pale face suddenly became a bit more lively, "Thank you, Chairman Kary. I don’t need anything. I just need to rest for a while, and I’ll be fine."
Kary nodded and said, "Alright, I won’t disturb you any longer. I’ll be on my way. Tomorrow, I’ll come to see you again."
Yan Shi and Yan Li escorted Kary out, while Ah Dai leaned back in bed, going over the words Kary had just said. He had managed to block the attack of five Maguses and twenty assassins—it seemed he wasn’t really that weak!
Yan Shi asked, "Ah Dai, what are you thinking about? You just woke up, do you want something to eat?"
Ah Dai was jolted out of his thoughts, shook his head and said, "I don’t need to eat. Brother Yan Shi, could you please protect me while I meditate? I need to heal my wounds quickly." Ever since his True Qi had broken through the sixth realm, Ah Dai’s appetite had lessened. With the endless nourishment of True Qi, he only required a minimal amount of food for sustenance.
"Alright, you should heal yourself as quickly as possible. Once you’re better, we can set out on our journey," Yan Shi responded.
Ah Dai closed his eyes, calming his spirit and hastening the True Qi from his Dantian. The silver body gradually lit up. The thick True Qi flowed through his meridians, continually repairing the damaged ones. Ever since his True Qi reached the eighth level, the silver body, containing vast energy, began to grow with each practice session. Although the growth was very subtle, Ah Dai could clearly feel it increasing slowly. He knew very well that when the silver body in his chest completely melts into the Dantian, his power would reach the realm idealized by the Sword Saint of Tian Gang. However, even now, he had found no way to absorb the energy from the silver body in his chest.
