Chapter 419
Under the dim magic light, two honest giant dragons were lying on their stomachs on the ground . Their dragon scales were round in shape and not sharp at all . Both of them were in a state between waking and sleeping .
“Are they okay?” Sui Xiong had thought that Frost and Graupel would be meditating like old, calm, and silent monks, but he had never expected to see them so sleepy shortly after getting there, so he was a bit worried .
Snow looked carefully at the two dragons for a while, then shook her head with a smile .
“Don’t worry . They’re fine . Since their bodies have entered a stage of super-fast growth, they have to sleep a lot to reduce their mental consumption . Thus, they can completely control the power of their blood, as well as the new knowledge brought by the growth . ” After several seconds of thought, she turned her magic into a blackboard made of ice and drew an oval-shaped ball in the snow on it . Then she added a little snoring dragon huddled in the ball .
“In fact, it’s similar to getting back to the state we’re in before we’re born . For our dragons, we’re in a state of super-fast growth before we break the shell . All kinds of knowledge appears constantly in our blood, and our power also increases from nothing to a certain amount . For Superior dragons like me, the growth hasn’t been as obvious, but for the Inferior ones, let’s say a Rock Dragon, the growth is quite obvious . ”
Sui Xiong was surprised at that and asked curiously, “Isn’t it an excellent way of growing? Why don’t the Superiors do the same thing?”
Snow smiled and answered, “This is the result of natural development—you see, in fact, the weaker a creatures is, the stronger they are at birth; on the contrary, stronger creatures are much weaker when they’re born . Do you know why?”
Sui Xiong pondered for a while and recalled a TV show on earth, The Animal World . Then he understood .

“I see . With weak creatures, the parents don’t have the ability to protect their children, so the children should be born with stronger abilities . Thus, it’ll be easier for them to escape from danger . And for powerful creatures, the parents can protect their children very well . Thus, it doesn’t matter whether their child is weak or not at birth . After giving birth to a child, the only thing for powerful parents to do is to wait for their children to grow up slowly . However, the parents will be at risk if they’re pregnant for a long time, so it’s better to have the children as soon as possible so that the parents can recover their full fighting power quickly . ”
Snow was surprised at that . She hadn’t expected Sui Xiong to make such a clear statement . In her impression, this Jellyfish God was slow and careless towards everything; he thought a lot, but had only learned little and had many strange ideas . But that day, he was different .
After thinking it over several times, she understood .
No matter what, this guy is a God! A powerful God! So it’s normal for him to know that .
Thinking that, she couldn’t help laughing and wasn’t surprised at Sui Xiong’s statement anymore .
“When Frost and Graupel grow up, will they step into the Legendary Realm?” Sui Xiong asked again .
Snow hesitated for a moment and answered, “To be honest, I’m not sure . After all, Rock Dragon was an Inferior . Even if they become adults, they still may not be able to enter the Legendary Realm . ”
“But Frost said he would with great confidence . ”
“That might have been his prediction,” Snow said with a smile . “Both of them have been with me all these years . Compared to the lazy Graupel who sleeps a lot, Frost has been more active, and he’s more excellent than Graupel, both in study and exercise . If there is one of them that can step into the Legendary Realm after growing up, it will most likely be him . ”

Sui Xiong understood and nodded .
Generally speaking, even if the Rock Dragon reached an adult age, it probably couldn’t become a Legendary Master directly . It had to exercise more and grow up, too . However, Frost had been following Snow over the years, so he had gone through a lot of practice and growth . Besides, with the added help of his improved blood after becoming an adult, he could directly enter the Legendary Realm .
Correspondingly, it would be hard for Graupel .
“If that’s the case, it will be a pity!” Sui Xiong couldn’t help sighing . “It would be perfect if Graupel can enter the Legendary Realm, too . ”
“Our dragons are legendary creatures, so it’s not as difficult for us to enter the Legendary Realm . She just needs to wait for a period of time . ” Snow disagreed with Sui Xiong . “Compared to pure growth of power, learning how to control and use that power is more important .
“Suppose that Frost and Graupel had the same power, if they fought with each other, Frost would enjoy a complete victory, no matter how many times they fought . Even if Graupel is more powerful, she still won’t win,” Snow said with a slight huff . “Among the races that have a weaker foundation than us at birth, there are usually high-level dragon-killers . Although the gap between high-level and legendary is extremely huge, the dragons at the legendary level are usually defeated and killed by the high-level dragon-killers . Why? Because these legendary dragons don’t know how to control and use their power . They just fight with their instinct and the knowledge they inherited from their blood . Thus, no matter how strong they are, others aren’t scared of them . ”
Sui Xiong kept nodding at that . The fundamental element of being a master was control over their power . If they couldn’t learn how to control their power, they would be no better than the Reserve Army of Self-Explosion .
What did that mean? During the three stages—from mortal to Legendary Master, from Legendary Master to demigod, and from demigod to real God—if one couldn’t control and use their power appropriately, they would be out of control when their strength surged . That would mostly likely lead to self-destruction .
Thus, Sui Xiong had named this type of person after the army in his favorite online game, calling them the “Reserve Army of Self-Explosion . ” He always waited happily to see them run into trouble .
Of course, if it was his own partner or someone he felt was worth saving, he would give them special guidance and teach them how to take control of their power .
For example, he was now planning training programs for Graupel when she grew up . He wanted her to learn how to control her strength skillfully as soon as possible .
Although it seemed that legendary creatures would never encounter a problem like self-destruction, it would still be beneficial for her to have better control of her own power .
After thinking for a while, he thought of another issue and asked if Snow was interested in meditating there for period of time to improve her own strength .
Snow was already a Legendary Master; if she could improve herself to a higher stage, she would surely be even stronger!
“I’m fine . ” Snow smiled and shook her head . “For the Void City, and even for the Republic of Northwest, my strength is enough . As long as you’re here, there’s no need to worry about a lack of strength, so it’s better for me to continue to be a government official rather than a stronger master . What’s more, I’m different from ordinary dragons . I prefer to do more meaningful things than count gold coins in my nest . It would be even more perfect if I could make money from my job . ”
Sui Xiong kept nodding at that . However, he felt that Snow seemed to have something to say, so he couldn’t help asking what else there was .
Snow nodded honestly . “You’re right . I mean, boss, I’ve worked for you for so many years that you should increase my salary!”
