“My physique has grown to the standard of an adult Taikoo Red Dragon,” Ilya continued.

“My spiritual power has also increased. According to the inheritance of our Taikoo Red Dragons, I have to return to the ancestral land of my race and undergo the coming-of-age ceremony before my strength can continue to grow.

“This is why I’m leaving.”

Ning Shi used the Eye of Truth to check on Ilya’s information and found that her Physique had reached 60 points, and her Spiritual Power had reached 59 points.

He could not help but sigh at the power of the battle partner contract. When Ning Shi first met Ilya, her physique was 54 points, and her spiritual power was 55 points.

In just five months, Ilya did not cultivate much, but her physique had increased by 6 points and her spiritual power by 4 points.

After hearing Ilya’s words, Ning Shi sighed and felt relieved. He said, “You have the innate ability to travel between worlds. Since you can leave, you can definitely return. After the coming-of-age ceremony is completed, you can return.

…..

“Moreover, we are combat partners. You can also summon me to the Heavenly Dragon’s large world. Your departure this time is not a farewell, so there’s no need to be so serious.”

Ilya giggled and said to Ning Shi, “1 promised you before that 1 would help you for free within a year. It’s not time yet, so 1 have to make it clear to you in person.

“Moreover, you are my combat partner and my male partner. I must tell you about my schedule.”

Ilya looked at Ning Shi with admiration and said proudly, “The growth period of us Taikoo Red Dragons is very long. It’s very rare for someone like me to reach adulthood at 1200 years old.

“Fortunately, I was smart enough to choose you as my combat partner. 1 didn’t hibernate in the World of Moen for a thousand years in vain.”

Before Ning Shi could ask, Ilya said, “1 came to the World of Moen and chose to hibernate here in order to find a suitable combat partner.

“The strongest leader of our race once said, ‘What is a partner? Partners grow together.’ This sentence clearly stated the greatest requirement the Taikoo Red Dragons have for a combat partner.

“The only thing is that the speed at which one’s strength increases has to be fast enough.

“The fact that our combat partners are stronger than us is only a prerequisite for the Taikoo Red Dragon to grow faster. The speed at which we grow depends on the speed at which our combat partners grow.

“The faster our combat partners grow, the faster we grow as well.”

Ilya hugged Ning Shi’s arm and kissed him on the cheek again. She said, “1 want to thank you, Ning Shi. Your growth rate is extremely shocking, so I am able to cross the long growth period and reach adulthood in less than half a year.

“This is as expected of the chosen one!”

Ning Shi felt Ilya’s soft and voluptuous body. Although his heart was itching, he could not help but ask, “The chosen one? What is a chosen one?”

“I can choose my combat partner when I reach the growth stage at the age of 100,” Ilya explained. “1 asked my father Wayne what kind of creature is most suitable for a combat partner.

“He told me that it is the chosen one.

“Wayne explained to me that in the multiverse, every world has a natural treasure called an origin treasure. Origin treasures have various abilities, but they are all very powerful.

“The person chosen by the origin treasure to become its host was the Chosen One.

“With the help of an origin treasure, every chosen one can grow at an astonishing speed. If the Taikoo Red Dragon chooses a chosen one as its combat partner, its strength will increase very quickly.

“However, everything had its pros and cons. The risk of choosing the chosen ones is also very high because the chosen ones will fight each other due to the devouring characteristics of the origin treasure.

“Therefore, the probability of the chosen ones dying is quite high.

“Taikoo Red Dragons can only choose one combat partner in their lives. Once a combat partner dies, it’s equivalent to abandoning this talent. Their growth speed and later battle strength will be left behind by their own kind..”
