The beginning of spring cultivation marked a new chapter in the Dragon Nest Tribe's development for the year.

With the busy schedule of the beastmen, the fields they cultivated began to be adorned with tender green colors. If nothing unexpected occurs, this would certainly be another bountiful year.

While the beastmen were busy in early spring, Austin, as the Master of the Dragon Nest, found himself with more leisure time.

After years of development, the Dragon Nest Tribe has formulated a set of simple and feasible laws, allowing Austin not to have to personally handle many major affairs.

Unless the Dragon Nest Tribe faces an imminent crisis of destruction, don't bother me with trivial matters.

According to Vini, those were Austin's original words.

These days, while stationed in the Dragon's Nest, Austin spent most of his time honing the Thunderbolt Divine Sword within him, using it as a medium to comprehend that trace of Thunder Law within it.

The winter seclusion had propelled Austin's strength to grow rapidly, and now, continuing to comprehend that trace of the Thunder Law meant an incremental understanding of thunder, unlike the explosive growth of his first encounter with the Thunder Law.

The deeper the learning, the slower the progress, and comprehending the Thunder Law is the same.

This is the bottleneck of the upper limit. As one approaches it infinitely, the progress becomes slower unless one day Austin can fully comprehend the Thunder Law and condense his own Law Power, reaching the Legendary Level to quickly progress again.

Though the progress is slow, Austin clearly wouldn't waste time. While daily honing and gathering strength, he comprehends the Law Power of the Thunderbolt Divine Sword within him.

Even a slight enhancement in strength is a gain.

Besides, Austin also began to consume large amounts of magic resources.

With the advent of spring, the Dragon Nest Beastman Legion went out hunting regularly, collecting herbs containing magic power, which are brought back as nourishment for Austin's growth.

Moreover, although the Water Patterned Demon Iron Ore in the Wet Bone Forest was mostly collected during Austin's last advancement, the remaining deeper deposits still require more manpower to mine but can steadily provide Water Patterned Magic Iron Ore.

The digestion ability of the Giant Dragon Race is tremendously strong, and once these magic-laden substances enter Austin's body, his Magic Power continually increases, steadily advancing his Level Cultivation.

Meanwhile, Austin did not forget to supplement the Beastman Six Techniques, planned months earlier.

Both the Rasengan and Paper Drawing have made gratifying progress.

After a series of explorations, the beastmen's Rasengan took shape, capable of tearing and crushing a wooden sphere in the palm.

Similarly, in Paper Drawing, members of the beastmen test group, even when blindfolded, could predict the enemy's attack direction by sensing the feedback of Fighting Qi, dodging in advance.

Both combat techniques have already shown signs of success.

In due time, as the beastmen test group's members successfully explore the cultivation methods for these techniques, they can be promoted, completing the supplementation of the Beastman Six Techniques.

Once the Beastman Six Techniques are completed, the strength of the Dragon Nest Beastmen will certainly reach a new level.

"Calm down, carefully feel the rotation of the Fighting Qi in your palms, and use your Spiritual Power to understand the process of the Fighting Qi being rotated and condensed..."

On an open ground within the Dragon Nest Tribe, Austin was guiding the Extraordinary Dragon Vein Beastmen in perfecting the development of the Fighting Qi Rasengan.

At that moment, Vini, who managed the general affairs of the Dragon Nest Tribe, came hurrying over with a worried expression.

"Your Highness, there is an urgent report from the Tribe Alliance."

Upon hearing this, Austin's expression shifted. He recalled his intention to plant spies in the Tribe Alliance at the border; could it be news from there?

This was not a suitable place for discussion, so Austin instructed the Extraordinary Dragon Vein Beastmen behind him and then turned to leave with Vini.

"What's happening?"

Back in the main hall, Austin immediately asked Vini.

"Your Highness, according to the report, after Gross and others went out and didn't return, it caused unrest in the Blood Claw Tribe. Consequentially, the Blood Claw Tribe's number one strategist Rulga sent Lambert to search..."

Vini narrated while taking out a parchment from the tarp and handed it to Austin. These were some intelligence reports summarized by spies hidden over there.

This item was delivered by a Centaur after galloping over a thousand miles, and for crossing this dangerous vast area, Austin had also given the Centaur a scale imbued with his aura.

There was no other way. The Kawa Great Forest is full of dangers, and without pigeons for messaging, they had to rely on primitive manpower to transport information.

Even so, crossing such a long distance still posed various dangers. Even for urgent reports, the Centaur couldn't gallop at full speed, causing considerable time delays, which perhaps allowed the people in the Blood Claw Tribe to make their move.

"Hmm? Have humans gotten involved?"

Carefully reading the parchment, a hint of surprise appeared in Austin's eyes.

The sending of people from the Blood Claw Tribe was expected by Austin.

Gross was the top warrior of the Blood Claw Tribe, and with his hundreds of elite subordinates suddenly "losing contact," it would be strange if the Blood Claw Tribe didn't send people to investigate.

But why have humans gotten involved?

According to the parchment, when Lambert from the Blood Claw Tribe began gathering Blood Claw elites to set out, humans suddenly visited the Blood Claw Tribe. It's unknown what they discussed with the top ranks.

Subsequently, the dispatched team was mixed with human warriors. Fortunately, the Dragon Nest Beastman was alert and did not rush to send the information immediately after confirming the Blood Claw Tribe's movement, ensuring this crucial point of the humans joining was not missed in the sent intelligence.

"Why would humans send people over? It couldn't be for dragon slaying, could it? No, the Blood Claw Tribe's action this time has a determined purpose. Humans must have learned the Blood Claw Tribe's aim for sending people to accompany them. Could it be their target is me too?"

Staring at the parchment in his hand, Austin pondered.

His nature was kind, having barely interacted with humans, apart from the time Edward inexplicably hired a Mercenary Corps to attack...

Recalling that battle, Austin's eyes flickered with an inexplicable light.

During that battle, the mastermind Edward vanished, dead or alive. Could he have survived, and is he the principal reason for the humans' involvement this time?

For a moment, Austin considered many possibilities.

"Your Highness, how should we respond now? Should we mobilize the army and have the tribe enter a state of war readiness?"

Vini asked from the side.

"No need, I'll handle this personally."

Austin shook his head. The Dragon Nest Tribe was in the middle of spring cultivation and not suitable for large-scale mobilizations.

Moreover, he also wanted to see the extent of his recent significant progress in strength.
