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."
Hearing Xin Yun's explanation, Yi Luo Xiang suddenly realized, then followed up with another question, "But if it's a covert ability, how can one discover it?"
"This..." Xin Yun said with a wry smile while looking at Yi Luo Xiang, shaking his head, "There are too many types of abilities, and there's no single thod to detect all abilities. It's all down to chance; if one is unlucky, they may never discover their covert abilities in their lifeti."
"Ah!" Yi Luo Xiang exclaid in shock, her face filled with disbelief.
Seeing Yi Luo Xiang's disappointed expression, Yan Qingying spoke up, "Don't be pessimistic. Although it's possible to never find out, you could also discover it in the next second. It's all about luck; there's no need to worry. You'll know when it's ti to know."
Despite Yan Qingying's words, Yi Luo Xiang's frown didn't relax. Although she wished to beco more powerful, she did not want Xin Yun to be weak.
Looking at the sky, it was already getting late. Mother Lan's dinner should be almost ready, so the three of them, riding on Yinglong, headed towards Mountain Sea City.
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 beca 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 ti, 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 research groups. However, for now, these children were not capable of conducting independent research and had to study under Master Xi Ming.
Xin Yun had initially suggested adopting more all at once, but Master Xi Ming refused. His main focus was still on his research, and he did not have the ti to teach so many disciples at once.
The week-long holiday finally ca to an end. After a week's break, the trio had not only vented all the stress and frustration brought by academics but had also integrated the past month's training into actual combat. They had fun while honing their skills and enjoyed themselves thoroughly during their training.
As wonderful as the holidays were, even the best ones must co to an end. Early in the morning, Xin Yun, Yi Luo Xiang, and Yan Qingying said goodbye to Ming Xuan at the gate, then headed to their respective academies.
At the academy gate, Xin Yun bid farewell to Yi Luo Xiang and Yan Qingying and quickly walked towards the classroom. Before the holiday, Instructor Musha had provided definite news that after over a month of construction, the first training facility for Class 11 would officially open today!
Arriving at the foot of the hill, a vast bluestone building stood at the base of the hill. The structure was only one story tall but stood ten ters high, with a sprawling area of over ten thousand square ters, dedicated to Class 11's specialized training facility.
This training facility was rely the first. It was for practicing Aerial Combat Weapons. More facilities with diverse functions would be constructed one after another.
The so-called Aerial Combat Weapons, also known as ranged weapons, are used while riding dragons. The main types of these weapons are bows and arrows, boorangs, Boorang Axes, javelins, and flying blades, among others.
Using his Academy Badge, Xin Yun entered the training facility. At the entrance, there was a counter where every student could collect a set of weapons with their Academy Badge. However, they had to be returned promptly after use.
Naturally, Xin Yun didn't bother to collect any weapon. These were communal weapons, and their quality and power were subpar. Even if practiced thoroughly, using one's own weapons would still feel awkward. Since he already owned his personal weapons, it would be foolish to do otherwise.
After changing into Hard Leather Battle Armor in the locker room, Xin Yun excitedly entered the training facility. Exclusively for Class 11, entry was allowed at any ti with the Academy Badge, without ti restrictions. Of course... aside from class ti, if one wanted to use the facility at other tis, they had to pay a certain usage fee, as well as equipnt maintenance charges.
Given Xin Yun's current financial status, he naturally disliked making repeated paynts, so he simply paid ten thousand gold for unlimited access to all facilities for a year, with no limit on the number of visits or the ti spent there.
After sorting everything out, Xin Yun, clad in his Hard Leather Battle Armor, entered the training facility. A glance around revealed that over twenty people were already excitedly practicing inside.
