Of course, this speed increase did not come without a price.

The price was the consumption of a large amount of magic resources that the Dragon Nest Tribe could obtain from the forest.

It can be said that Austin's cultivation level is the result of being accumulated with a large amount of magic resources.

The Dragon Nest Tribe played a tremendous role in this process.

If Austin were to collect the vast magic resources from the forest on his own, it would take years of effort.

It would even need more time due to the complexity.

Moreover,

during these two years, Austin transformed a cultivation technique from the Martial Hero World into a secret technique that could directly absorb magic power from between heaven and earth.

After improving that secret technique, Austin could directly absorb a vast amount of magic power from heaven and earth, refining it into his foundation and upgrading his cultivation level.

The magic absorbed through that Heaven-Devouring Secret Technique did not fall short of the magic resources supplied by the Dragon Nest Tribe.

However, even so, it was only enough for Austin to elevate his cultivation level to the peak of Half-Legendary.

This vast amount of magic power seems enormous.

But in fact, it's just the normal requirement for the Dragon Race's advancement.

A normal young dragon, in its early growth phase, has its parents' care, and resources like magic crystals are almost never lacking.

Moreover, the growth of an ordinary giant dragon considers centuries as a basic unit.

A casual slumber can last for dozens or even hundreds of years.

Under normal circumstances, a dragon takes at least two to three hundred years from birth to adulthood.

That is to say,

Austin's current Half-Legendary peak level should spread over two to three hundred years to be normal.

The large amount of magic resources he consumed, averaged over two to three hundred years, is not particularly stunning.

But he compressed the time to advance to the peak of Half-Legendary into just a decade, so it appears that the consumption of magic resources is incredibly huge.

In this world, Austin is probably the only exception.

Due to his traversal, his soul did not need to grow in slumber.

At the same time, born in the wild,

without the shelter of a parent's safe haven, his desire for power was extremely intense.

When young dragons of the same era were playing under parental protection and sleeping soundly in the Dragon's Nest, Austin was already surviving independently in the perilous wilderness, struggling amidst the dangers of magic beasts, giant beasts, and other terrifying predators.

Precisely because of this, when young dragons of the same era were still taking advantage of their bloodline advantages idly, Austin was striving diligently to elevate his level of cultivation.

One step at a time, to seek survival in this chaotic wilderness.

Perhaps, it was due to witnessing Austin's mindset, which was completely different from other young dragons, that Guppa was willing to associate and provide protection after only one chance encounter years ago.

The Giant Dragon Race has been complacent for too long, having a kind of unparalleled pride due to their bloodline, to the extent of not seeing their own flaws.

With their innate talent to reach Legendary adulthood strongly, they did not have to work hard to achieve the pinnacle of worldly force.

But precisely because of the bloodline's shackles, power comes too easily, leaving them naturally lacking struggles necessary to reach the true pinnacle.

The Giant Dragon Race has many legends but extremely few epic ones who truly stand at the pinnacle of this world's power.

Today, the Giant Dragon Race is gradually exiting the stage of the Prime Material Plane.

Guppa might have seen some new possibilities for the next generation of dragons in Austin.

Perhaps, he hopes that Austin's growth will bring about a slight change to the Giant Dragon Species.

"Half-Legendary peak, still lacking a bit."

Regarding Guppa's kindness back in the day, Austin naturally did not have much time to ponder.

Currently, within the great hall, Austin examined his own strength.

Over the past two years, aided by continually absorbing magic resources, his cultivation level had also risen to the peak of Half-Legendary.

Simultaneously, the substantial foundational knowledge from the Martial Hero World was reorganized over these two years, transforming it into his own strength suitable for this world.

In addition, there is also the understanding of the laws.

With a higher-level perspective, Austin's understanding of the laws improved rapidly.

The Law of Thunder, the Law of Wind, the Law of Fire, the Law of Water, and the Law of Power, obtained from devouring the strength of the dark-marked tiger-man Vira.

Understanding of these five Law Origins reached a very profound level.

As a Blue Dragon, with the Blue Dragon Bloodline containing the hidden origins of both the Law of Thunder and the Law of Wind.

This means that once Austin advances to Legendary, he will be able to comprehend and awaken, achieving complete mastery of two Law Origins.

The other three laws will also become more in-depth.

Mind you, a typical Legendary powerhouse can completely grasp only one or two Law Origins at most.

But as soon as Austin enters Legend, he will automatically master two Law Origins entirely.

Moreover, he is very deep into the other three Law Origins.

This indicates that once Austin enters the Legendary Realm, even as a newcomer, he will stand among the strong within the Legendary Level!

"The nourishing method of the Law Divine Sword has been improved, the array effects of the Four Spirits Sword Array have been enhanced, and combined with deeper laws, the absorption of the Martial Hero World's background of decades—all this, with my current strength, even a Legendary Level being might not necessarily defeat me!"

Rasengan, the Law Divine Sword nurtured for two years, the Four Spirits Sword Array, Four Swords United, the Law of Power forging the body...

With all these enhancements, Austin now possesses the combat power of the Legendary Level!

Even when facing a real Legendary, he does not fear in the least.

The Law Divine Sword, which has been nurtured for over two years, has now accumulated extremely terrifying power; once unleashed, combined with the Four Spirits Sword Array and techniques like the Four Swords United, it could instantly deliver heavy damage to a Legendary.

In an instant, Austin's confidence swelled significantly.

"Regrettably, I ultimately couldn't entirely step into the Legendary Realm; otherwise, I would have had more assurance in this current scheme!"

Somewhat regretful.

Though the bottleneck before Legendary had long since disappeared for Austin,

to undergo the Legendary transformation, the required magic power accumulation is indeed too massive.

Even other dragon races accumulate enough over two to three hundred years.

Despite the collection by the Clan Tribe and his own secret technique of absorbing the world's magic power, there remains quite a considerable distance from reaching the level of transformation.

"Forget it, achieving such an improvement is already quite extensive."

Two years of seclusion, significant advancement in strength!
