Iya struggled to rise, but its injuries were too severe.
Its chest had been torn open by a steel dragon, with two gaping holes, and its neck bore a bite mark.
Through the wounds, one could see its heart pounding vigorously.
Fortunately, dragons possessed tenacious vitality, and the Dragon God Arena provided a 30% bonus to recovery abilities.
Iya's life was not in danger.
Lynn approached Iya, placing his hand on its head and looking into its eyes.
"One day, you'll defeat it, Iya!"
Iya let out a few low growls from the depths of its throat, acknowledging the sentiment.
It stuck out its tongue to lick Lynn's palm, expressing its affection.
"Is there any way to quickly heal Iya's wounds?"
Lynn inquired of the system.
"Dragon Scale Fruit, dragon bell flowers, Dragon Fern Grass..."
The system provided a long list of suggestions.
Lynn quickly harvested the nearest batch of Dragon Scale Fruits and dragon bell flowers, feeding them to Iya.
Iya opened its mouth, swallowing them bite by bite.
Lynn watched as several of Iya's horrifying wounds healed at a visible speed, aided by the dragon bell flowers, Dragon Scale Fruits, and the arena's buff.
Lynn accessed Iya's attribute panel.
He found that its growth value had only increased slightly, but the arena-displayed combat power was slowly rising.
Once the wounds fully healed, Iya shook its wings and soared into the sky.
It circled the heavens, growling lowly from its mouth, with fierce flames spilling out.
Lynn could feel the burning battle intent continuously rising from Iya.
It wanted to fight again!
At this moment, Iya's combat power increased by one hundred points, reaching 900.
As Iya's battle intent climbed to its peak, a shimmering red light emanated from its body, covering it entirely.
Iya seemed to be clad in a customized armor, resplendent and dazzling.
Iya's combat power instantly surged by 200 points.
"Congratulations, Rancher! Your fire dragon, Iya, has successfully comprehended the innate skill, Dragon Shield Aura!"
"Dragon Shield Aura: Reduces physical damage by 20%, reduces magical damage by 20%, upgradeable."
Lynn's eyes showed a hint of joy.
This devastating defeat in the arena had greatly benefited Iya, with its combat power directly increasing by 300 points.
Indeed, battle was the best way to promote a dragon's growth.
The Dragon God Arena could only be activated once a day.
Lynn played with Iya for a while, planted a new batch of dragon bell flowers, and left the ranch space.
...
"Did you see? That's Lynn Lancaster!"
"So handsome! I heard he's promoted to a third-level magician, is it true?"
"Of course it's true. We even witnessed him defeating Professor Isha in a practical exam!"
"Unbelievable! Do you know him?"
"Yes... yes, I have a good relationship with him..."
"Fantastic, tell me about it..."
Lynn walked on the Academy Avenue, surrounded by continuous chatter.
Many first and second-year female students in blue robes pointed at him curiously and shyly.
Those in Lynn's class became the most popular among the crowd.
Casually mentioning Lynn's "instant third-level spells" and "spiritual power nearing fourth-level" could elicit gasps of amazement from everyone.
Feeling like the center of attention was truly wonderful, and they gradually became proud of being "Lynn's classmates" and "Lynn's good friends."
Since the results of the last monthly assessment spread, Lynn Lancaster's name once again caused a sensation in the academy.
Now, Lynn was not only gawked at on the road but was the focus of attention wherever he went.
Moreover, because of his terrifying talent and handsome appearance,
He became the perfect Prince Charming in many girls' hearts.
He received no less than a dozen love letters every day, from shy junior classmates to enthusiastic senior sisters.
Lynn's eyebrows furrowed tightly, his steps hurried, and he seemed unhappy.
After showing his student badge to the guard, Lynn was allowed to leave the academy.
The conversation with Isha still echoed in his mind.
"There seems to be something going on at Vivian's home, she may need to take some time off recently."
"Professor Isha, do you know what's happening?"
"Not really. Vivian should be going back to be with her sister... Alas, Alisa Mason is really an amazing girl..."
"Wait... Professor Isha, what did you say Vivian's sister's name is?"
"Eh, Alisa Mason."
...
Mason...
Mason Chamber of Commerce...
Lynn pondered over these two names repeatedly.
On the way to the capital, he had once helped a caravan, and the steward proudly told him they belonged to the Mason Chamber of Commerce.
To be honest, after spending so much time together, he hadn't even noticed...
Vivian's last name was Mason!
Alisa Mason, Vivian Mason...
It couldn't be such a coincidence.
Regardless, Lynn intended to visit.
Vivian was the first friend he had made since entering the academy.
And the Mason caravan had also been on good terms with him.
He wanted to see them.
He hired a carriage at random and headed to Vivian's house.
He had already obtained Vivian's mansion's address from Isha.
The carriage stopped in front of a quiet and luxurious mansion on the east side of the capital.
Lynn paid the fare and rang the doorbell.
Soon, a middle-aged maid in a grayish-white linen dress came out.
She scrutinized him with wary eyes.
"Sir, whom do you wish to see?"
"My name is Lynn Lancaster," Lynn said politely. "I'm Vivian's classmate, here to visit her."
The maid's expression relaxed.
She nodded at Lynn, "Please wait a moment."
Before long, Lynn saw a familiar figure rushing out of the house...
