This... this is a dragon's tribulation!

"Already? That fast?"

Timothy quickly recalled the promise he made to the Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon when he took Azura away. He had vowed to help her reach Ocean's Gate within a year.

Although several months had passed in the blink of an eye, there was still plenty of time before the one-year deadline.

He hadn't expected Azura to make such rapid progress.

It seemed that, aside from Azura's extraordinary bloodline and talent, the Golden Scale Dragon Carp had indeed provided a massive boost to her growth.

"Yeah, I can feel it," Azura said, her small face showing a hint of worry she couldn't hide.

She had consumed thirteen Golden Scale Dragon Carp at once. While she enjoyed the delicious meal, the ancestral dragon bloodline was continuously flowing into her petite body.

It was refining and enhancing her bloodline, making the purity of the ancient dragon blood within her rise steadily.
