Chapter 123: Yaya: Huh? Am I the Chosen One?
Matthew examined closely, noticing that the "+" sign after True Dragon Bloodline had become more detailed.
"Would you like to consume 50,000 experience points + 1,000 Fate Coins to grant Yaya a perfect evolution?"
Feeling a pang of heartache, Matthew shuddered. Just a couple of days ago, he had been conflicted.
"How do I use all this experience without leveling up my class?"
"I need to find a way to quickly turn it into combat power!"
Well, now it was gone. With Yaya's little bite, more than half had vanished, leaving him with only 3,200 experience points.
As for Fate Coins, he still had 1,700 left, which was just barely sufficient.
However, Matthew quickly began to console himself.
"Yaya and I are one; as she grows stronger, so do I!"
As Matthew made his choice, a blue light, visible only to him, quickly enveloped Yaya, who remained completely unaware.
Smiling, Matthew said to her:
"Meditation is the process where you train your mental strength and absorb elemental energy..."
The little one nodded along as she listened, completely oblivious to the changes happening in her body.
She just found that what Matthew was saying became easier and easier to understand, and finally, with a moment of realization, she said:
"Huh? Is this meditation? I think I get it!"
Then, she immediately closed her eyes and curled up in Matthew's lap, softly coiling her body.
"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"
Listening to the sound of Yaya's soft breathing as she fell asleep, Matthew couldn't help but find it both amusing and frustrating that she could just fall asleep like that.
Looking down, he saw that Yaya's shiny head now had three big words clearly written on it.
"In Meditation..."
Good grief!
"Did Yaya just combine meditation and sleep?"
Although Matthew found it hard to believe, the "Meditation" ability on Yaya's status panel wasn't a lie.
"Meditation level +1, currently 2!"
"Meditation level +1, currently 3!"
"Meditation level +1..."
"..."
In no time at all, Yaya's meditation level had broken through the beginner stage, advancing smoothly to the intermediate level.
This delighted Matthew, as it signified that Yaya's spellcasting abilities were finally progressing in the right direction.
Matthew knew that the time left for him and his territory's development was limited.
Yaya, as his most important trump card, would have to grow stronger to give him more room for maneuvering.
For a dragon, whether developing in close combat or enhancing spellcasting, both had a bright future.
But!
Given the limited time, the latter developed faster and could be converted into combat power sooner!
Now that Yaya had finally begun improving her spellcasting, Matthew naturally wouldn't hesitate to invest more resources into her.
The 50,000 experience points and 1,000 Fate Coins were clearly just the beginning.
This special little one was undergoing yet another leap in her life.
Matthew carefully observed Yaya, clearly able to "see."
As her body changed, her soul was also becoming more complex and magnificent.
Intricate and complex patterns gradually appeared with Yaya's every breath.
As if they had always been there, now they were simply manifesting naturally.
This unique transformation left Matthew deeply amazed!
Matthew savored the changes, feeling a faint premonition in his heart.
The reason True Dragons were super creatures was undoubtedly linked to this inherited power engraved deep in their bloodlines and souls!
Imagine, each True Dragon's inheritance was like a door guarding a treasure trove.
As time passed, the door grew larger, and more treasures could emerge to be utilized.
The True Dragon's task was simply to continuously enhance their body's strength, expand their capacity to bear the treasures, and digest what emerged, thereby naturally increasing their power.
This was why every True Dragon became strong!
Such growth gave Matthew a lot of inspiration.
"In a sense, the growth path of professionals is similar to that of True Dragons."
"Raising class levels is like strengthening the body and soul to accommodate more powerful feats and skills."
"If this ability could be quantified, even if professionals are limited by their talents and can't reach the extraordinary or legendary level, there could still be many more mid-tier and even high-tier professionals..."
Though this idea was promising, Matthew kept it buried in his heart.
The timing wasn't right, and his abilities weren't enough yet!
While keeping an eye on Yaya's changes, he pulled out a new second-circle spell scroll and began studying it carefully.
About an hour later.
Yaya, having completed her evolution, stretched comfortably and yawned with satisfaction.
She looked at her now-expanded wings with surprise. Not only had they grown larger and stronger, but a pitch-black ring had also appeared on them.
Yaya could clearly feel that her control over time power had significantly improved.
Previously, her control over time power had been a bit unstable and vague, only allowing her to use it clumsily.
Now, she felt she could manipulate it with much greater precision.
Flapping her wings excitedly, Yaya happily let out little cries of "Yaya!"
Rubbing his forehead, Matthew set aside the more complex second-circle spell scroll and carefully examined Yaya's post-evolution stats.
Then, Matthew was completely stunned!

"What's the point of studying anymore?"
