There is a significant difference between Dragons and the True Dragons. The Dragons are just a humanoid species, not much different than the others. It is said that when the Dragon Progenitor first saw the might of a True Dragon for the first time, he proclaimed himself as a Dragon, meaning 'invincible' in his own language.
Compared to these humanoid and 'fake' Dragons, the True Dragons are sacred creatures, one who grasp the Truth of the World the moment they are born. They are proficient in Profound Energy, and have almost infinite lifespan. The best of all, there are only a few existences which can stand against them.
*****
Capital of Dragon Empire, Dragon Continent.
The Imperial Palace of the Bahut family was extremely large and luxurious, and was surrounded by many forests and large training grounds. A young man in coarse clothes stood straight with a sword in hand. Bahut Bhondu was very smart unlike his name, and had decoded the Precise Energy Control Technique in just a few days. Bahut Shur was extremely astonished when Bhondu explained the scroll to him and pointed out the energy channels for the first time.
Morning had just arrived.
The Precise Energy Control Technique had five moves. Prince Shur took a deep breath and took a stance.
"First move- the Offensive Move !"
His sword moved in the air and the Profound Energy followed a specific path, moving through selective minor Chakras and finally inserting into the sword. The sword covered with a light glow threw out a thin line of condensed energy. The energy trajectory kept enlarging and changing its shape, and collided with the nearby trees. The trees provided no resistance as they were cleanly cut with an industrial precision. Moments later dozens of trees collapsed, signifying the strength contained within the thin line.
He inhaled again and waved his sword again, this time targeting a large stone. Again a thin line of energy flew out and collided on the stone's surface. The thin line of energy penetrated into the stone's body and created a depression. When he checked, he found that the thin line had cut one foot deep into the stone.
He gasped after seeing the depression. "Such a powerful move !"
He took another stance and shouted.
"Second move- the Defensive Move !"
His sword moved in a circular path, and the thin glow on the sword created a luminous barrier. It silently floated in the air and shielded him. He knocked on the barrier, and his hand felt as if he had knocked over a thick and sturdy glass.
A few experiments later Prince Shur was again impressed by the second move. The barrier could be customized according to his needs, and can be made stronger or weaker by making it thick or thin, or by making it more dense. The most astonishing thing was that the barrier could not be easily broken even by the first move !
It was afternoon.
Prince Bahut Shur deep a deep breath and initiated a new stance.

"Third move- the Movement Move !"
With a single wave, a small dot appeared a hundred steps away. It blackened and pulled him towards it, and he could easily move while spending less energy. He again experimented with the move, and eventually grasped the technique to quickly jump in the air or sprint over uneven terrains.
Gradually evening came, and the prince quickly gobbled through some dry foods and continued with his practice.
Another stance, and he waved his sword in a particular fashion.
"Fourth move- the Recovery Move !"
The move was completed, but nothing happened. Prince Shur furrowed his brows.
'Did I do something wrong ?'
However his confusion was immediately cleared when he felt his body relax and his tiredness fade away. His body felt energetic and full with energy.
"It heals the body...Interesting !"
Shur said in amazement. His reaction was not exaggerated, as there were plenty of offensive, defensive and movement techniques, but hardly any techniques to heal the body.
Unlike in fantasy games where there were priests who had healing spells, this world had nothing of the sort and had to rely on realistic means to treat a patient.
Prince Shur was in a happy mood as he returned to his room. He opened the Precise Energy Control Technique scroll again and re-read the moves once again for the nth time.
After the four moves, there was another move which he had not practiced today.
It was the Fifth move- the Myriad Changes Foundation move !
This was not a standalone move, rather it highlighted eighteen foundation points, which were minor Chakras in a body. Using these foundation points one could combine the four previous moves to create new, original moves for oneself !
Prince Bahut Shur sighed once again- Where the hell is Bhondu ?!

Little Stone's Fragrant Tea, Capital of Dragon Empire, Dragon Continent.
Prince Bhondu was excited and kept rubbing his hand with a handkerchief to keep it clean. It had been a long time since he'd last met Sonam, and today's meeting was arranged by her. According to her previous promise, he could touch her butt.
Bhondu smiled like an idiot as he thought of his hand over Sonam's soft and perky butt. He'd caress it, pinch it, smack it, squeeze it,....
"Look at that virgin boy's face... How disgusting !"
The surrounding old men were friendly with him and commented. Sonam a.k.a. Prince Shandar who had just arrived blushed as he heard their comments and then watched Bhondu do some grabbing and pinching gestured in the air.
He sat angrily making a lot of noise, bringing Bhondu out of his stupor. He was startled and looked at her.
"You came...."
He forgot his words when he watched her, as she looked different again.
"Don't you look.... a little different today ?" he said as he stared at her chest. This time her bust was less generous and had smaller protrusions. This was the result of the Sun Moon Change Art, an art developed by Prince Shandar to change his body. He was able to divert fat into his chest, creating an illusion. Although it was not the real thing, it was much better than wearing some fake breasts whom he could not trust or feel through.
Sonam was ready this time as he said confidently.
"Do you want to touch them ?"
Prince Bhondu, who had been single since birth wanted to yell 'Yes yes yes', but collected himself and replied with a serious face.
"No."
His face was firm, and if Sonam didn't knew him she'd think that Bhondu really meant it.
The tea pot arrived, and after some cups Sonam began gossiping.
".....The Dragon Emperor has really thinks of the Giant continent mission important. Do you know, he has even permitted the use of a legendary weapon !"
"What !"
Bhondu almost yelled. Each legendary weapon was an important treasure, and it's wielders were always trusted personnel of the Emperor.
Bhondu moved his seat near her, and whispered.
"Which one is it ?"
"You know the previous Beast Kings, right ?"
Bhondu widened his eyes and took a deep breath. "Is it....."
Sonam glanced at him in the eyes. "You guessed correctly..."
"....It is the Golden Staff, the staff of the Monkey King."

Shore of the Fairy Continent.
One could hear laughing sounds and crying from the Black Pearl which was sailing away from the Fairy Ship. As they had almost arrived the Fairy Continent, Madhu had released them as they would be caught if they had arrived at the port. At that moment even Jack Luffy, who was known for his toughness, could not help but burst into tears. They were finally free from the clutches of the evil woman !
Param restrained Madhu who was almost about to jump into the ocean. Madhu had also upgraded herself, and her body now contained a modified version of the Eternal Art, which was named the Absolute Thought Art, implying that using this art she would be able to do anything her mind wanted to. The Absolute Thought Art was very flexible and was capable of providing parallel processing.
The ship entered the dock, which was crowded with many sharp eared creatures. They were definitely army, and had gorgeous, shiny armor over their bodies. The druids and the high officials did not waste their time and walked down the ship, while the remaining soldiers deported the large chests of beast carcass and various herbs looted from the Gateway Continent.
The soldiers glanced at Param and Madhu, who clearly stood out. One was a Fairy, an existence which was at the apex on the Fairy Continent. The other was completely white, as if he was the one white washed instead of a wall. Frankly speaking, the man was really an eyesore.
Claire gave a few instructions to various men, and then walked near the familiar group.
"It is time to visit the Fairy Queen."
