Reborn as the Dragon King's Son-In-Law

Since my business of interrogating the system had been completely resolved, my body began to feel tired. Suddenly, my body fell back onto the bed. For now, I really want to rest and forget what happened today.

My current thoughts completely drifted into my dreams. I didn’t even think about the problems that occurred in the hot springs before. Even though Elize is a charming woman, I can still maintain my senses like a mature man.

One week passed, and I felt a strange fluctuation occur in my body. My cultivation process finally reached 99%. Elize also noticed the changes that had occurred in my body. Therefore, without hesitation, she directly guided me and allowed me to reach the Great Dragon stage.

An immense power endlessly surged from my entire body. The amount of mana I can produce right now far surpasses that of the average being in the Great Dragon stage. A slight expression of surprise crossed Elize’s face. The phenomenon from my breakthrough slightly froze the area within 200 meters.

"Finally, a breakthrough to the Great Dragon stage. This isn’t bad. Not bad at all." My eyes stared endlessly at my two hands, which were facing downward. After remembering the bitter experience I had in the previous days, I could no longer hold back my gratitude for my unexpected breakthrough.

But the Great Dragon stage is still much weaker than the Dragon King stage. Fighting against the young master of the Vermillion family in my current state is no different from bringing death upon myself. Even if I have strength far above the average Great Dragon stage, I’m just an ant in the eyes of Dragon King stage experts.

"Don’t be complacent. Just continue your training. It’s still not completely over. I hope you can continue your current training further."

A nod appeared in my head. Elize’s words made the most sense to me right now. My strength may be great, but I am still weak. I am aware that most experts in the kingdom have at least reached the Dragon King stage.

"This is all thanks to you, Master. Thank you, Master. Your disciple will always remember all the training you have given me all this time!"

Elize’s cheeks involuntarily turned red. Her gaze, which had previously been looking at me, moved away from my face. Suddenly, an Affection Points notification appeared in front of me.

[What a thrilling feeling! +50 Affection Points have been added.]

[Affection Points: 437.]

After more than a week, I had earned 437 Affection Points by teasing Elize. It’s actually completely incomprehensible to me how I gained Elize’s affection. But I understand that she currently regards me as her most cherished disciple.

That’s just my foolish thinking. At least I won’t have any feelings for Elize before the time comes. Likewise, Elize always ignores the thrilling feeling when listening to the praise that comes out of my mouth.

"Nonsense. Now that you have reached the Great Dragon stage, I will increase your training to be even harder. There shouldn’t be any problems if the time is extended until nightfall."

No rejection came out of my mouth. Instead of being afraid of Elize’s increasingly harsh training, I decided to accept each of her training sessions with pleasure.

One month later, I finally raised my understanding of the Ice Element to a higher level than before. After practicing for a long time, my progress in the Ice Element reached 24%.

This was an incredibly fast achievement due to various foreign knowledge entering my memory. The current me has reached the Great Dragon stage. Therefore, Elize did not hesitate to bestow some top-level Ice Element skills upon me.

Five days later... my comprehension of the Ice Element had reached 27%. Even though it was slow, I gained so many benefits that it allowed me to understand all kinds of magic far beyond what people at my current level could do.

350 meters is the current limit I can reach just by deploying my ice domain. If I wanted to destroy a small village, I could kill its residents with just my full strength.

The current me has completely raised my understanding of the Ice Element to a high level. 30% is the limit that Dragon King stage dragons can reach while practicing their magic.

My current strength is probably equivalent to that of weak dragons at the Dragon King stage. After breaking through to the Great Dragon stage, my physique has completely reached a level far more terrifying than when I broke through the High Dragon stage.

Elize’s training is also one of the reasons why I have a physique far above that of the average human. Luckily, I was able to survive every training session that Elize gave me. If my strength had not increased much more rapidly than in the previous three months, I wouldn’t have been able to endure any of the training she is giving me now.

After two weeks had passed, my comprehension of the Ice Element had reached its limit. No matter how much I forced myself to practice, I had completely reached the limit that only Dragon King stage dragons can attain.

"That’s already good for you. There’s a barrier blocking your comprehension. It can’t be broken even if you force yourself to practice twice as much." Elize’s explanation didn’t make me feel sad. On the contrary, I didn’t think much about the limits of my Ice Element comprehension. But it’s still not enough for me to be able to fight the young master of the Vermillion family.

"Can you teach me more than this? I don’t have the confidence to fight that young master of the Vermillion family. I hope you can help me increase my strength even further, Master."

Pondering in place for some time, a small sigh escaped Elize’s mouth. From the start, she understood that I couldn’t be complacent about my current improvements. Therefore, Elize would not stop her disciple from training until he could fight against the young master of the Vermillion family.
