Chapter 36: Meeting with a Wise Dragon.
Levi, after searching for the fleeing martial artist, found a headless corpse on the ground. He is confused about who killed this man, so without wasting time, he transforms his head into a dragon's head, consumes the corpse, and leaves. After exploring the woods, he heard the sound of sword class in the distance.
His body disappears into the darkness after casting a shadow cloak spell and heading toward the noise.
As soon as he arrives, a black-furred humanoid beast with a leopard head is fighting with the scholarly man.
Several minutes later, after numerous clashes between claw and sword, the scholarly man is very exhausted from running and fighting the demonic beast. Fighting alone is different than fighting in a group, where they can work together and take turns exhausting the enemy.
He is, after all, not a first-class martial artist who has light movement technique and can imbue Qi into a weapon. In the end, he makes a mistake, and there is an opening in his defense.
The demonic leopard, without missing this opportunity, uses his sharp claw to pierce the scholarly man's torso and slowly pull his hand out of the human body. Blood splattered and dripped to the ground. The man looks in disbelief, never thinking he will die here.
"You are stronger than I thought." The demonic leopard swings his bloody claw to get rid of the blood while gazing at the lifeless body on the ground.
"Hello."
"Who!" The demonic leopard startled and leaped back.
Coming out of the darkness is a dragon turtle. "Let’s have a talk."
Since the dragon turtle has been watching him, the demonic leopard is in shock. Most creatures cannot hide from him because he can see in the dark. "Fine." He concurred. Even if the dragon intends to harm him, he has the ability to flee.
Levi after talking to a demonic leopard called Bao Qi. He gets some information about the demonic beast. According to Boa Qi, demonic beasts are creatures that have learned to absorb Qi. Because of that, they become stronger and smarter.
However, once they are found, they will be hunted down by the kingdom's army or martial artists if they are dangerous or valuable. There is other important information that Boa Qi told him; it’s about the demonic beast queen and the martial artist unorthodox faction. But he decided not to get involved. After all, his mission is to survive, and the conflict of this world has nothing to do with him.
Before leaving, Boa Qi drags the scholar's dead body into the woods and disappears into the darkness. ‘How many evolution points can I get if I consume him?’ Levi thought. But soon shook his head. If he fails to kill the demonic leopard, there will be endless problems.
From what Boa Qi told him, he has been injured by this group of martial artists and has been secretly following them to get his revenge.
"Never mind, maybe we can work together in the future." Levi, in dragon turtle form, also returns to his lake and prepares to use the evolution point.
At the center of the lake, there is a large creature closing his eyes.
[Evolution Point: 4789 EP]
"Begin to grow into an adolescent dragon turtle."
[-3000 EP]
[Evolution Point: 1789 EP]
Levi's body begins to grow larger than a house, and at the same time, qi in the surrounding area rushes toward him. Being absorbed by his body and brain. The water in the lake becomes turbulent and creates a wave. The creature near the lake senses danger and begins to flee.
Right now, he has a feeling that if he fights the second-class martial artist again in close combat, he can kill him faster. However, he can’t be too confident; according to Bao Qi, even the strongest demonic beast falls when facing a human. And the burly man might be the weakest among second-class martial artists.
While his body is getting stronger, Levi's mind breaks through to the adept mage rank. With this, as long as he is careful, he can lay low until the 60-year time is up.

A week later, an elderly man named Xun Heng is walking through the woods with a young man. He is a retired teacher that Gao Tao hired.
"How far away is that place?" Xun Heng is walking with the aid of a cane. Last week, while he was resting in a teashop, someone is looking for a teacher to talk about the continent's history and government. Because he is bored, he decided to take the job, but now he regrets it.
"Please be patient; we are almost there. Do you want me to carry you?"
"It's fine." Xun Heng shook his head.
After a while, they reach a secluded area and see a lake.
"Is this the place?"
"Yes." Taking a deep breath, Gao Tao shouted, "Senior, I have brought the teacher!"
After a few minutes, nothing happens, just when Xun Heng wants to ask something. The calm water begins to move, and a large creature emerges from the lake.
A large turtle with a dragon head appears in front of Xun Heng.
"Teacher, this is the person..." Gao Tao turns his head toward the elderly man. But Xun Heng had already fainted.
"Do you tell him about me before bringing him here?"
"Forgive me, senior, I forgot!" Gao Tao immediately bows down to apologize.
"It's fine once he wakes up; explain it to him properly."
"What if he refuses to teach?"
"You should know what to do."
"Yes, senior, I understand."
After saying that Levi's body enters the water,
Half an hour later, Xun Heng slowly opened his eyes. "What happened was that I had a weird dream."
"Teacher, are you alright?"
"Yes, I must be getting old." Xun Heng thought he must be exhausted and fainted.
Goa Tao, after seeing Xun Heng already calm down, begins to explain the situation. The elderly man faces a change from doubt to shock and is finally resolved. "To think I am going to teach a dragon even if I tell someone, no one will believe me."
Xun Heng had a feeling that if he refused to teach, his life would be in danger. He has, after all, experienced many things in his life.
"Senior, the teacher is ready!"
As before, a large dragon turtle emerges from the lake. Levi had planned to buy a book, but it would be troublesome to find relevant information. It is better to simply hire a teacher and inquire about world history and kingdoms. Levi is also unconcerned about Xun Heng exposing him to the public because he can transform into a regular turtle or hide in the river.
Xun Heng is initially terrified but soon realizes that the dragon turtle's behavior is similar to that of a human. For several days, he will come to teach and answer Levi's questions. They also start discussing the kingdom's government and politics.
The elderly man discovered Levi had a lot of interesting ideas. Although some of them can be sentenced to death if the government finds out, for example, by replacing the monarchy with democracy. To think before dying, he can meet with a wise dragon.
After Xun Heng left,
Levi is contemplating ‘Now that I have the information about this world, especially the Wu kingdom, the problem now is the evolution point.’
This time, he needs 10,000 evolution points to become an adult dragon turtle. The amount required to accelerate growth is significant, and the stronger he becomes, the fewer evolution points he receives. He needs to consume strong humans or creatures. But killing and eating humans may alert the army of the Wu kingdom.
In the end, Levi decided to let nature take its course. He still had a lot of time in this world.
-
Time passes by, and today Wu Yi will meet the dragon. Although she needs to wait for almost a month, she is not mad; instead, she is excited.
While she is excited, her protectors are nervous. They had already secretly told this news to the Wu family patriarch. But they are ordered to keep this a secret and protect her if anything happens. Yu Su and others are confused but will obey the order. If anything happens, Yu Su will flee with the young girl, and the other will try to delay the dragon.
Yu Su had experience fighting with the demonic beast before. From her perspective, the dragon is still a demonic beast, and its instinct is to kill and consume humans.
"We are almost there." In front of them is Gao Toa, showing the way to the secluded lake. In the meantime, he is secretly taking a glance at Wu Yi. He had never seen a beautiful girl like her before.
Yu Su and others notice that but remain quiet. Wu Yi is already used to people looking at her.
When they arrive, they can see a lake, but they don’t see the dragon. Before they can ask. A large creature larger than a house appears in the middle of the lake and moves toward them.
The protectors take out their weapons, and Yu Su is already beside Wu Yi to take her away. The dragon has become larger than before. While they are anxious, Wu Yi's eyes gleam with excitement.
