I'm really not a dragon.

A sudden realization dawned on Su En.

Could it be that the most powerful mage has no auxiliary spells, and all their spells are only for stronger attacks and destruction?

Thinking about it this way, it seems to make sense.

The mage's hand made his hands exceptionally strong, allowing him to do more than a dozen push-ups in a row without feeling tired at all!

Tansen's Floating Disc Technique can turn thrown planks into something like Captain America's shield!

This is only a first-level spell.

After he diligently took the drugs, he learned the legendary mage skills: the third-circle spell and the fireball spell.

How powerful must he have been at that time?

Suen was shocked by his own potential as a mage. As expected of the ultimate mage path, the mage is invincible!

Breathe, take a deep breath.

After calming down from his excitement, Su En had to take a serious look at one issue.

Tansen's Floating Disc Technique has become an offensive spell. Hmm, how is he supposed to complete the dragon's growth quest?

Suen stood on the balcony, looking down. Hmm, even if he glided in the air for ten seconds and didn't take the stairs, he still wouldn't be able to complete the task...

-

Suen still walked down the stairs from the hotel.

"Tansen's Floating Disc Technique? This is the Temple of Compassion, child. If you are not feeling well, you can come in and pray to the Weeping God, asking the Lord to bear your pain."

"Tansen's Floating Disc Spell, yes, yes, fifty dragon coins for sure! It's an absolute gem from Candlecastle, worlds apart from the half-finished works drawn by apprentice mages on the market—thirty if you really want it—can you pay on credit? You brat, if you don't have money, get lost!"

"I don't have Tansen's levitation technique here! But since you're a good-looking little brother, I can let you try a hot dog for free, okay?"

Amidst the suggestive laughter of the older women from Tiflin, Su En blushed and slunk away from the alley.

Alas, the world is going to the dogs, and people's hearts are no longer what they used to be.

Looking at those graceful figures with sharp horns and devil tails, Suen felt heartbroken. These Typhoons, they clearly have hands and feet, yet they spend all their time thinking about scamming food and drink.

"The corrupt practices that are harming the youth of Sword Bay must be a conspiracy by the Lord of the Nine Hells!"

Big Tooth nodded vigorously in agreement, "Squeak!"

On the Flying Dragon Bridge, many shops had already closed and turned off their lights. Having been turned away, Suen finally understood that spell scrolls weren't for ordinary people.

A single first-ring spell scroll costs around forty to fifty gold coins, which is equivalent to more than a month's salary for an average person.

Actually, Su En could afford it if she gritted her teeth.

In the Upper City area, as long as one isn't too ugly, wealthy young women and girls won't be stingy with tips. Over time, even apprentices can save up a sum of money.

Unfortunately, due to the current situation, I cannot return to the upper city; otherwise, I wouldn't be in such a pathetic state.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the sea breeze carries the aroma of seafood soup and toasted bread.

Suen couldn't help but rub her stomach.

I ate enough at the cheap hotel in Frego, but now the evening breeze is making me hungry again.

Since things have come to this, let's go back to the hotel first.

We'll figure out a way to complete the growth quest later. If all else fails, we'll discuss with that dwarf barbarian how to fly.

Su En wrapped her clothes tighter to ward off the cold wind. The Flying Dragon Bridge was peaceful and serene at night, with the sea breeze teasing the moonlight and carrying a faint smell of blood.

Um, wait a minute.

Suen twitched her nose, turned her head, and looked at the alley behind "Xia Bingsi's caress".

The stench of blood filled the air, and faint wails and cries for help echoed through the alley.

At that moment, a man in black squatted at the entrance of the alley, playing with a throwing knife, tossing it up and down, the sharp blade dancing in the night.

This was a typical thief, wearing a black mask and a suit of shiny black leather armor.

Another heart-wrenching scream echoed from the alleyway.

Seemingly noticing Suen's gaze, the thief said menacingly, "Don't get involved!"

Su En nodded. "Okay, bro!"

That's the downside of Feilong Bridge; it's too close to the outer city, so the security isn't as good as inside the city. Poor guy who got cornered by thieves, let's hope he had enough money on him.

[Breaking News in Jinlong's Daily Life: Punishing Evil and Promoting Good]

[On a dark and stormy night, a group of despicable hill giants attacked a homeless girl.]

The blood of the golden dragon surges within you! Is there any justice left in this decaying age? Roar! Rage, benevolent golden dragon! Shamelessly humiliate the wicked and despicable! Save the maiden's body and soul!

Suen's shoes jerked abruptly off the ground.

Damn, this is the kind of isekai story I love!

Su En waved his hand and roared at the alley, "Stop! Stop fighting!"

The thief crouching at the alley entrance shuddered and instinctively looked toward Flying Dragon Rock Fortress, but did not see any patrolling guards.

His eyes immediately turned malicious—you were yelling so loudly, I thought the Flame Fist people had come. Since they didn't come, then I'm sorry!

"Heh, you blind fool, I was going to let you go, but you asked for it!"

The thief cursed and swore, his throwing knife transforming into a dark streak of light as it stabbed towards Su En.

He drew his spare throwing knife, and suddenly his eyelids twitched as he saw an unbelievable scene.

The throwing knife struck Su En's thigh like hitting a metal plate, making a crisp "clang" before bouncing off. Bouncing off?

hiss!

Su En gasped and rubbed his leg. It felt like an unidentified object had just flown over and hit his leg, which hurt quite a bit, but it was still a little weaker than the iron fist of the enforcer.

Suen bent down and picked up a throwing knife; it was this thing that had just hurt him.

He slowly raised his head and looked at the thief.

Cold sweat dripped from the thief's forehead, soaking his mask. He saw the pretty boy's pupils shrink to slits in an instant, and in the pitch-black night, that golden glint resembled a burning volcano.

He suddenly remembered what his former trainer had said.

"Those of us in this line of work are masters of reading between the lines, especially avoiding those who have embarked on the path of exemplars. The methods those high-level professionals employ are beyond your imagination!"

The thief yelled at the top of his lungs, "Get out of here! Professional!"

Several thieves emerged from the alley, their fists still stained with wet blood.

The thieves looked at Su En with disdain.

As for professionals, to be honest, they're just so-so! It's not like they haven't tried to steal before.

Robbing an ordinary person might only cost the price of one night's drinks, but robbing a professional could mean a month's worth of expenses.

"Big fish, Sean!" A burly thief patted Sean on the shoulder.

Sean's eyelids twitched. He was a little anxious, wondering how they had come to this conclusion. He lowered his voice and said, "This guy is unusual! Look into his eyes!"

The other, gaunt thief, shrewdly replied, "What are you afraid of, Sean! If we all attack together, he might not be able to kill us all!"

Sean: "..."

Are all thieves this brave these days?

Suen picked up a stone slab from the ground, weighed it in his palm, and then pointed it at the group, saying, "The person in front of you is a mage. I assure you, in the name of a mage, that if you leave now, I will not hold you responsible!"

The thieves sized up Su En's shabby clothes and couldn't help but shake their heads. "Even the great mages have toilet paper made of gold leaf. You dare call yourself a mage?"

While these foolish thieves had a certain positive misunderstanding about mages, they did deny that Suen was a mage.

A surge of violent rage burned within him, and Suen quickly entered the "High Mage's Wrath" state.

His skin was fiery red, his bones creaked, and he had grown a little taller than before.

Suen looked around.

On his left and right, a thief stood, each gripping a gleaming dagger in reverse, staring at him with ill intent. Another thief moved stealthily, trying to sneak up behind him.

"Your biggest mistake was daring to challenge a mage!"

"Go!" The burly thief waved his hand.

The thief to Suen's left ran in the shadows, his steps were strange, he made no sound on the ground, yet he was extremely fast.

Sean's eyes gleamed with hope.

The guild's rogue mentor once commented that Littlefinger was the only genius among them who had touched the threshold of a professional assassin; he had already mastered the method of quickly switching to Silent Step.

Moreover, his hidden blade is poisoned! Even a tiny bit...

Raise your arm with your little finger, and a gleaming dagger pops out between your index and ring fingers.

Suen seemed to sense something, his shoulder and elbow twitching like a whip, and with a backhand slap, he struck the thief's little finger across the face with lightning speed.

boom!

The latter was sent flying backward at an even faster speed.

[Trick: The Wizard's Hand]

"Little finger!"

Seeing his companion fly backward, the burly thief was momentarily stunned.

"You dare to get distracted while fighting me!"

"Dracarys!"

Suen opened his mouth and exhaled a breath of dragon's breath, the scorching flames spreading out like smoke.

Caught off guard, the burly thief was sprayed in the face. Flames tore at his skin and set his clothes ablaze. He clutched his face, screaming as he rolled around on the ground.

"Brother! I'll fight you to the death!"

The thief who had reached Suen's back saw the two men's miserable state, his eyes reddened, and his hands moved swiftly, gripping his shortbow tightly and drawing the bowstring taut.

He had just nocked the arrow when, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a white gust of air roll across the sky, and a stone slab, like a cunning venomous snake, flew towards his forehead!

With a dull thud, the third thief fell to the ground, fast asleep.

[First-level spell, Tansen's Levitation Technique.]

In just a few exchanges, all of his companions fell to the ground.

Sean stood shivering in the cold wind.

Su En walked up to him, tossing a gleaming throwing knife up and down in his hand. He said calmly, "Hands behind your back, squat down, and behave yourself!"

"Okay, bro!" Sean, heartbroken, dropped the dagger.
