Evil Dragon: The young dragon I picked up keeps planning on becoming an empress

Chapter 209: Long time no see, young Mr. Lance, 160 years old.

“The meaning of ‘suspending from a beam’ is this: find a rope, tie one end to your hair, and the other to a horizontal beam in the temple. When fatigue and drowsiness from reading set in, and you start nodding off, your head will inevitably begin to droop.”

At that moment, the rope hanging from the beam will pull on your hair and cause pain to your scalp, which will wake you up due to the brief agony. The drowsiness will disappear, and then you can continue reading.

However, I feel this method would be useless for a Giant Dragon like you. If possible, I would recommend you tie a steel brush to your forehead, with its dense bristles made of special materials.

It should be capable of penetrating your defense. That way, when you doze off and your head collapses onto the desk, the steel brush’s thousands of silver needles will prick your forehead, that pain… tsk… just thinking about it gives one the shivers.”

“!!!”

To read a book, she not only has to gamble her beauty but also her life?

The Human Viscount in front of her is really squandering his talents.

He should become a devil.

Just the thought of it made her forehead ache slightly.

To thoroughly solve her problem of dozing off while reading, the Human Viscount even thought of creating a specially made brush capable of inflicting pain on her.

What does that mean?

It means the Human Viscount is truly considering her needs, even taking into account the defensive power of a Thunder Giant Dragon’s body.

She vaguely understood why the title ‘Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor’ was given to the Human Viscount.

Besides depicting him as an Evil Dragon turning the Sword Path Domain upside-down, the Human Viscount’s ideas are sometimes quite sinister.

“Has anyone actually hung from a beam or stuck awls in their legs, or tied a steel brush to their forehead, just to read a book?”

“Yes.”

“Suspending from a beam and sticking awls in one’s legs for the sake of reading, I believe. But tying a steel brush to the forehead, I don’t.”

Lance, lying in the rocking chair, looked at Elina and smiled without speaking.

You don’t believe it?

Many, many years ago, a Black Dragon, in order to overcome the problem of dozing off while reading, tied a steel brush to his forehead and crammed all night. Decades later, feeling that he had achieved his academic goals, he went to a kingdom in the Human World.

His brilliant talent started from a negligible official position… step by step, he became the greatest corrupt official in the kingdom…

Eventually, he was sent to the gallows.

After decades of hard study and achieving success and fame, he became greedy for pleasures… indulging in luxuries…@@novelbin@@

The vicissitudes of life, starting from being a corrupt official…

“Why are you laughing? Your devilish suggestion has even made the forehead of this Thunder Giant Dragon throb with pain. Let me learn swordsmanship from you first.”

“I have a ‘Sword Scripture’ that I authored myself; take it and read it. When you finish and understand this ‘Sword Scripture’… you will be a Thunder Giant Dragon with a Swordsmanship Skill Level. As for how far you can go on the path of swordsmanship after that, it’s up to you.”

A book with a blue cover, two fingers thick, flew from Lance’s fingertips and landed on the desk where Erinna was reading.

Erinna, a mature Thunder Giant Dragon, doesn’t need to start from the very basic fundamentals to learn swordsmanship.

After completing and understanding the ‘Sword Scripture’ he wrote, Elina will naturally become a master of swordsmanship.

As for whether she can become a ‘Sword Saint’ or a ‘Sword God’, it will be up to her from there.

He has another ‘Sword Scripture’, saved for the Dragon Whelp.

The Dragon Whelp’s current lessons are plenty, and there’s no need to touch on swordsmanship for now. When she’s about fifteen hundred or close to two thousand years old, with sufficient experience, it’ll be time to hand her the ‘Sword Scripture.’ When she finishes and understands it… she will naturally become a master of swordsmanship as well.

A master leads the way, cultivation depends on the individual.

Whether or not one can carve out their own path in swordsmanship, whether or not one can achieve ‘Swordsmanship to God’…

It all depends on whether they have the talent, the insight, the opportunity, and the destiny…

To comprehend one’s own path in swordsmanship… sometimes, it really requires that bit of luck…

Or an epiphany.

Without luck or inspiration, one can only grind with time.

Pureblood Dragons have long lifespans; with enough effort, even without luck or inspiration, they can grind it out with time.

A true swordsmanship genius is terrifying.

Like the hero Reg, his natural talent for swordsmanship, insight, and fortune are outrageously strong.

My Black Dragon natural talent for swordsmanship is average; I’ve slowly ground it out over time…

And then there’s mindset and emotions.

Having a good attitude and stable emotions also helps in cultivating swordsmanship.

“Let me study by myself?” Thunder Giant Dragon Erinna picked up the ‘Sword Scripture’ from her desk, flipped through it casually a few times, and a look of pleasant surprise appeared on her face.

Illustrated text.

It wasn’t just words; this should… books like this shouldn’t cause drowsiness to read.

The little figures were drawn vividly…

“Wait, when I see humans learning swordsmanship, there’s always a teacher teaching, and the students observe and learn by watching. Some teachers have students practice the basics of swordsmanship, or practice Sword Drawing Techniques, like drawing the sword hundreds of times on the first day, a thousand times on the second… gradually increasing to ten thousand, a hundred thousand…”

“Why is it that when it comes to you, you just give me a ‘Sword Scripture’ and tell me to learn swordsmanship by reading a book? Shouldn’t you have me start by practicing the fundamentals of swordsmanship, or practicing Sword Drawing Technique?”

In her imagination, she had fantasized many scenes of the Human Viscount teaching her swordsmanship, but never reading a book to learn it.

“I teach according to the student’s abilities. If you were human, I would teach you that way. But you are not human; you are a Thunder Giant Dragon, so there’s no need to use such a conventional method to teach you swordsmanship.

It’s the same statement I made before: once you finish and understand the ‘Sword Scripture,’ you’ll be a master of swordsmanship. If your talent and insight in swordsmanship are exceptional, you might even grasp the Sword Intent after finishing the ‘Sword Scripture.’

With a few years or a few decades, or a hundred years of consolidation, perhaps you could even grasp the ‘Domain.’ If you can grasp the ‘Domain’ now, through analogy, you might directly comprehend the ‘Domain of the Sword’ that belongs to you.”
