In order not to let others see the schadenfreude on his face, Xiao Lin quickly left by himself.
"To be honest, Xiao Lin, your combat instinct is really too poor."
"Right. Don't be fooled by the fact that you're invincible among peers and even across levels — against true experts, this still won't do."
Inside the consciousness space, the two Dragon Kings gave their evaluation of Xiao Lin's battle.
Right now, Xiao Lin was completely relying on his overpowered stats to defeat one opponent after another.
That wasn't very good for Xiao Lin's growth.
"So what? As long as I keep doing this, isn't that fine? Why should I go looking for suffering by fighting a bunch of old guys?"
Xiao Lin had a different view. And it wasn't that he didn't train his combat skills at all.
He had previously wanted to spar with those old fellows, which showed that he did know his own shortcomings.
But the only ones who could point out his flaws now were people far stronger than him.
The two Dragon Kings in the consciousness space certainly had enough strength, but they weren't human.
Their fighting styles also weren't suitable for "feeding him moves."
Hearing Xiao Lin's words, the two Dragon Kings were stunned by his crooked logic.
Originally, they wanted Xiao Lin to train more so that if he met other geniuses and got crushed, his mentality wouldn't collapse and ruin his future.
But listening to Xiao Lin's strange reasoning, maybe special training really wasn't necessary.
As long as Xiao Lin kept fighting geniuses of the same level, he would never lose.
At least, the two Dragon Kings couldn't think of any genius who could defeat Xiao Lin and shatter his mindset.
In other words — did Xiao Lin even have what people call a "strong person's pride" or ego?
If he never had such a mentality in the first place, then it couldn't be shattered.
The two Dragon Kings looked at each other. They were about to explain how mentality and spirit affect combat power — but it seemed unnecessary.
Maybe Xiao Lin had already understood this long ago.
"Fine, then we spoke for nothing," the Ice Dragon King said helplessly, lowering his head.
This freak of a kid gave them no sense of achievement at all.
"Sigh… I originally wanted to teach you how to master the Dragon Might Domain," the Fire Dragon King shook his head and sighed.
"What? What what what?"
Xiao Lin instantly perked up like a field mouse.
"Old Fire, be honest — are you going to teach me the Dragon God Domain?"
Xiao Lin flew to the Fire Dragon King inside the consciousness space and asked ingratiatingly.
"There's no such thing as the Dragon God Domain. It's the Dragon Might Domain. Simply put, it's a domain formed by powerful spiritual force to enhance your own attacks — and since we're Dragon Kings, it's called Dragon Might."
The Ice Dragon King explained patiently, secretly amused by Xiao Lin's sycophantic look.
"Isn't that basically Lei Lei's soul skill, Thunder Emperor Shocking Might Break?"
"More or less — but Dragon Might Domain strengthens all your attacks and also weakens your opponent's."
"Xiao Lin, you have Dragon King horns, so you can learn it."
Between the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, one sentence each, they had already arranged Xiao Lin's next training.
They couldn't think of any Dragon God Art or Dragon God Transformation to teach him, so they used Dragon Might Domain instead.
"Okay."
Xiao Lin agreed immediately.
Just in time — Xiao San was about to awaken the Blue Silver Emperor and gain the Blue Silver Domain. Xiao Lin also needed a new domain.
"Xiao Lin, there are five steps to mastering Dragon Might Domain."
"First, awaken your dragon bloodline. Absorb the qi of heaven and earth every day at sunrise and sunset. Through meditation, sense the dragon in your blood and awaken it."
"Second, master the dragon breathing technique, converting your spiritual force and soul power into dragon might, enhancing stamina and endurance."
"Third, release dragon might in battle — attack through aura and pressure, enhancing your offensive power."
"Fourth, construct the domain. Find a quiet place rich in energy, merge your dragon might with environmental elements to expand, stabilize, and strengthen the domain."
"Fifth, fully control dragon might and use the domain freely."
The Ice Dragon King held up five claws and explained carefully.
With further explanation, Xiao Lin understood his advantages.
His Dragon King Horn had already absorbed ice and fire essence and dragon qi from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Finding and awakening his bloodline was just a matter of time.
He already even had a soul skill related to dragon might.
With two Dragon Kings guiding him, the breathing techniques were trivial.
Steps three to five could be practiced near the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and mastered quickly.
But since Xiao Lin was a master of time management, he decided to wait and train there later.
The Dragon Kings said nothing — he wasn't slacking.
Lei Lei, however, was extremely envious and begged for guidance, but the Dragon Kings ignored him.
Then Xiao Lin asked a question that made them angry:
"Which is stronger, Dragon Might Domain or my Chaos Domain? Can Dragon Might Domain compare to the Asura God's Killing God Domain?"
Chaos Domain decomposed all attacks — it being stronger was normal.
But comparing it to the Asura God was insulting to dragonkind.
"We won't raise our value here," Xiao Lin added quickly.
The Dragon Kings snorted.
"The Asura God is just a God King. His domain is merely a fragment of the Dragon God's power."
"Killing God Domain only knows killing. Killing is the last resort. Winning without fighting is the true way."
"Killing intent has little effect on true geniuses."
"Of course, you're different — you've had it too smooth."
Xiao Lin felt Dragon Might Domain suited him better.
He wasn't bloodthirsty.
He only killed evil.
So Killing God Domain didn't fit him.
