Rise of the Alchemy God

.

She thought about how she could help him.

Being a member of the dragon race, her combat abilities were very different from his.

The difference between human techniques and those of dragons was too significant for her to be of help in this situation.

Her race's techniques were specifically created for her kind, taking into account various factors that only dragons possessed.

From their physical constitution to the techniques and abilities they had, everything was too different from humans.

She had never bothered to learn any human techniques, as they would have been useless for her.

The only solution she could come up with was to advise him to fight with her companions from the sect.

Or ask for help from the boy who shared the dormitory with him.

There was really little she could do at the moment.

Bai Yu had decided to help him because she had nothing better to do in the sea of consciousness.

The only entertainment she had was seeing Ethan occasionally come up with problems he had created himself.

For a creature like her, the passage of time had largely lost its meaning, as with her lifespan, even if she had slept for several years in a row, it would have been just a drop in that sea that was her life.

When she was still in the upper skies, before meeting the previous owner of the amphora of the seven sages, she spent her time either carrying out missions for her clan, training, or sleeping for long periods.

For races at her level, it was normal to sleep for long periods.

A complete sleep cycle for them could last several days, even months.

Not that they really needed it.

With the lower level, they could afford not to eat and sleep for decades without feeling any lack or effect on their bodies.

The spiritual energy of the surrounding environment was the only source of nourishment that beings of her level needed.

Therefore, normally, spending long periods of inactivity was not a problem for them, but Bai Yu's situation was somewhat particular.

Having been trapped in the artifact for who knows how many centuries, she had no desire to spend the rest of her waking days going back to sleep.

Therefore, whenever she could, she always did something different, from talking with Ethan to trying to understand the strange things he occasionally evoked in the sea of consciousness.

This time too, he had evoked a strange black screen that, apart from being black, seemed to serve no other purpose.

She remembered that back then, he was complaining about not having electricity and signal in this place.

Bai Yu's electrical concentration was limited to spells and attacks, so she was a bit confused by his words then.

Similar situations had occurred several other times, both when she was in the real world and when she was here in her sea of consciousness.

From the use of words and terms unknown to her to actions that didn't mean much to her.

There was always something to witness in her presence.

She thought she could help him spot flaws in his combat techniques with these little sparrings, but it seemed he had underestimated his real combat experience.

Not that she was surprised, since he had spent most of his time locked up at home refining pills.

Shaking her head for the umpteenth time, she moved and approached him.

She couldn't help him with the combat techniques themselves because he would have had to learn those from his kind, but she thought that training with her could give him some real combat experience.

He just needed to lower his level a bit and beat him up each time, and it should be sufficient.

After all, by doing so, he would seek new ways to attack and defend each time.

This, in itself, should be enough to develop a battle instinct in him.

Or at least that's what she thought.

Ethan, still recovering from the previous beating, felt a chill down his spine and stood up, looking around.

'What was that feeling of danger, just now?'

He thought as he wondered if it had been a figment of his imagination or not.

If he had known what was swirling in Bai Yu's mind at that moment, he would have fled with his tail between his legs from his sea of consciousness.

He had asked her to help only to avoid falling behind in his combat abilities, but that didn't mean he was okay with getting beaten up repeatedly.

He would have preferred to hide in a secluded place, where he could conduct his transactions safely and never risk fighting anyone.

Bai Yu, who had just approached him, seeing his behavior, shook her mind, thinking it was another one of his strange actions.

Noticing her approach, Ethan composed himself and spoke.

"Haa, it seems I still have a lot to work on in this area," he said, admitting how lacking he was in this aspect.

"Yes, to be honest, I've never seen anyone so devoid of any combat knowledge. Even a newborn from our white dragon race could perform better," she said calmly.

At these words, Ethan coughed up half a liter of blood.

'Woman, why are you so ruthless?' he thought, but he forced himself to remain calm.

"At your current level, I would advise you to train a bit with your roommate. That boy should be able to help you," she said.

"I understand, I'll try asking him later."

Ethan agreed with her opinion.

He had avoided going to the training areas open to sect disciples because he risked revealing his current cultivation level.

The same for Da Shu; he thought he would risk accidentally hurting someone under the Body Refining stage.

He hadn't learned to contain his strength either, but he was gradually learning it as he consolidated his cultivation foundation.

As he thought about this, he remembered something else.

'Wait, I still don't have any special moves.'
