X-Dragon Era

Chapter 138-140 Boomerang Axe Technique_2

under yi luo xiang's questioning, xin yun patiently explained, "a dragon's abilities are generally divided into two types—overt and covert. overt abilities are like your blink, qingying's phantasm; they are conspicuous and constitute a dragon's most distinctive traits, which are also their greatest strengths. these directly determine a dragon's power."of course, whether overt or covert, it doesn't affect the ability itself. it's not that covert abilities are necessarily better, or that overt abilities are inherently stronger. covert abilities are simply hidden within a dragon's body, invisible to the naked eye."

in the week that followed, the trio spent each day playing outside the city or strolling the streets, releasing the academic pressure that had built up over the month.

of course, in true xin yun trio's style, even their leisure was not strictly play. during the week, they fought multiple skirmishes. while they were only sparring and careful not to harm each other, they became much more familiar with various combat strategies and ability usage, deepening their understanding of one another.

at night, they were even less willing to waste time, maintaining their daily training. they were all aware that to protect everything they currently had, strength was the most important factor; without it, one would only be subjected to others' oppression.

elsewhere, under mother lan's guidance, master xi ming adopted six orphans, three boys and three girls, forming two re
