First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System novel Chapter 172

Chapter 172: Leaving for Academy

Orion lay comfortably on his luxurious bed, eyes closed but mind still active, gently illuminated by the soft glow of moonlight streaming through the curtains.

‘Yes, but first I will head to the library. Since I got RP, I need to get some books. I plan to take some days off the academy and learn all the things from the books. It’s faster than taking classes when I can just learn most of the things from this.’

Lumi’s floating screen flickered cheerfully beside him.

[Oh, that’s smart, Master! If you learn directly from books, you’ll progress much faster and won’t waste precious time sitting through lectures. ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶]

Orion smiled faintly, eyes still closed. ‘Exactly. Attending lectures is good for basics and interactions, but now that I’ve secured some RP, I’ll grab as many valuable resources as I can from the library. Spending several days studying deeply will solidify my foundation far quicker.’

[And you also get to skip classes legally—perfect for someone as busy as you, Master! (⌐■_■)]

He chuckled softly, gently shaking his head. ‘Well, I’m not skipping exactly; I’m prioritizing. The Origin Mana Pool will probably push me to Tier 2 or at least closer to Tier 2 soon, so I must consolidate what I have now.’

Lumi’s text bounced energetically on the edge of the screen, clearly excited.

[Right! The Origin Mana Pool will amplify your mana significantly if we’re not wrong. With your perfect mana channels and unique lineage, your growth will be astronomical! ☆: .｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:☆]

Orion sighed contentedly, the day’s fatigue finally catching up to him. ‘Let’s hope so. The Tower of Myths showed me clearly that I can’t afford complacency. I need rapid growth now more than ever.’

[Don’t worry, Master! You’re improving by leaps and bounds every single day. That Echo won’t stand a chance next time! (ง’̀-‘́)ง]

Orion lightly laughed, ‘Well, now I can’t sleep thinking about tomorrow. Maybe I should read the Ninefold Physique Refinement Scripture and Basic Mana Breathing Technique.’

[That’s good as well. I heard people sleep when they have to study. So you might get sleepy. (๑>؂<๑)۶]

‘…’ Orion shook his head and took out the two books from his storage ring and started reading.

He deeply read and learned the next few levels of both techniques as slowly his eyes became heavy before fully closing shut as sleep gently beckoned him. ‘Goodnight, Lumi. Thanks for today.’

[Goodnight, Master! Rest well! Sweet dreams! (˘︶˘).｡.:*♡]

Morning arrived softly, dawn’s gentle sunlight filtering through the sheer curtains, bathing Orion’s room in a golden warmth. He stirred awake, feeling refreshed and reinvigorated from a good night’s rest. Sitting up, Orion stretched leisurely, muscles pleasantly tingling with residual fatigue.

He wasted no time, smoothly sliding from his bed to the washroom and soon after returning and settling into the center of the room.

Crossing his legs comfortably, Orion began cycling the Basic Mana Breathing Technique, immediately feeling the familiar soothing sensation as mana circulated smoothly through his channels.

Each steady breath seemed to enhance his mana and calm his mind. His mana gently surged, refined and stable, nearing the peak of Tier 1.

After completing several perfect cycles, Orion transitioned smoothly into practicing the Ninefold Body Refinement Scripture.

Mana flowed differently now, spreading deeply into his body, igniting a familiar burn beneath his skin. The intense sensation steadily built, thoroughly refining his physique.

Each passing session improved his body’s resilience, strength, and physical harmony significantly. The first level of the technique seemed to focus on enhancing the entire physique so it could withstand the later refining.

Sweat gently formed across his forehead, a clear sign of progress. After two intense hours of combined training, Orion concluded, exhaling deeply as he felt his physique steadily approaching the peak of the first refinement level.
