Get up and mine!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Si landed before the two hatchlings, flicking their heads with his tail to wake them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He yawned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two hatchlings felt they hadn’t slept enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dear brother Luo Si, can I rest a little longer?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They asked in weak voices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When brute force fails, a dragon will resort to emotional manipulation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Si rejected them coldly—he had given them chances before, offered to be a good older brother, but they had chosen to turn on him and provoke him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They chose their own path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wanted a cold-hearted older brother? Fine. Luo Si would oblige.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmph!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red Dragon Sister snorted, reluctantly turning toward the mine tunnel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Iron Dragon Brother…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing Luo Si’s refusal, he still smirked crookedly, his expression arrogant and disdainful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He deserved a beating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had Luo Si known the crooked mouth wasn’t intentional but the lingering result of a prior injury, he would’ve already struck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Luo Si’s gaze, Iron Dragon Brother shrank his head slightly, then trudged after Red Dragon Sister into the mine tunnel, still crooked-mouthed, drool dripping, stepping unevenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up at the crimson clouds of sunset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Si lowered his gaze to his right arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On his lower forearm armor, a small patch of gray-white, stony texture remained—the mark of a petrification ray, petrifying both scale and flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack. Crack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Si pried off the petrified scales and flesh, leaving a small hollow on his forearm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the sensation was faint, he still felt something strange happening—the tissue there was undergoing a peculiar transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When new flesh and scales grew back…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next time he was hit by a petrification ray, the effect would be weakened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Complete immunity would require repeated, massive adaptation—he had no such conditions now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wound was small, inconsequential, and didn’t hinder his movement. Under the fiery glow of sunset, he began trying a new training method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He exhaled slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hatchling flapped his wings, flipped midair, and finally balanced his heavy body entirely on one foreclaw, rising and falling in a steady inverted push-up motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He curved his tail against the ground, using only the strength of his powerful tail to support his body, training the tail muscles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or he arched his neck backward, pressing his skull to the ground, rotating his body around his neck as a pivot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A series of specialized exercises, never recorded in the Dragon Heritage, unfolded on Luo Si’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was training for strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides strength, there was speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, Luo Si launched into the sky, soaring upward until he reached the star-speckled night where twin moons hung, then drew a deep breath, stretched his wings to their full span, and began flapping furiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the violent wingbeats, the hatchling’s body didn’t rise—it sank slowly, unnaturally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Dragon flight is a magical effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With their weight and body proportions, dragons couldn’t possibly fly like birds using wings alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In reality, when dragons fly, magical energy flows through their blood into their wings, creating an effect similar to levitation, combined with spell-like abilities and wing strength to achieve flight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other intelligent races always carry sky-sealing spells when fighting dragons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their principle: cancel the levitation effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Si didn’t want to be forced to the ground and beaten by a mob the moment an enemy cast a sky-sealing spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to fly solely through physical strength, soaring the skies without magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That way, one more weakness would vanish, bringing him closer to his goal of living a thousand years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he had suppressed his magical energy, the levitation effect vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heavy dragon body continued sinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Si strained his wings, flapping hard enough to stir violent gusts, yet still could not lift himself—only slowed his fall, barely managing to glide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This method placed enormous strain on his wings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the burden, a tearing pain constantly radiated from them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially at the membrane roots connecting to his torso—each flap felt like steel needles piercing through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No audience, no encouragement in the night—only the hatchling, gritting his teeth, silent, enduring the pain, flapping his wings again and again, chasing adaptation and evolution through tearing agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until the twin moons sank below the horizon and the first ray of sunlight pierced the clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Luo Si complete his training regimen, exhausted to the point where even a dragon’s resilient body reached its limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aching pain surged through his entire body, especially his wings—almost numb, as if torn away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hatchling breathed heavily, like a bellows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet despite his fatigue and pain, his gaze remained sharp and clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For alongside the aches came faint tingles of numbness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Signs of adaptation and evolution—each time he pushed to exhaustion, his body grew tougher and stronger, able to endure longer, fly faster next time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One day, he would truly soar the skies with wings alone, unbound by any magic-free zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Luo Si prepared to rest…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red Dragon Sister and Iron Dragon Brother emerged from the mine tunnel, covered in dust, seeing Luo Si’s weakened state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They exchanged glances, then slowly approached him with ill intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dear brother Luo Si, you look awfully tired.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red Dragon Sister asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her words sounded concerned, but brimmed with malice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hoo hoo, we’re definitely beating you this time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iron Dragon Brother chuckled with a crooked smirk, his villainous laugh as he stepped closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your skin itching again?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Si’s face was expressionless. His larger, more muscular frame stood firm, his calm gaze sweeping over them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One look—and both hatchlings froze, uncertain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Si’s accumulated authority, though he appeared weak, still kept them from acting rashly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve realized… it’s been a while since I punished you two.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a step forward, his eyes blazing with menace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that step, both hatchlings involuntarily retreated, their earlier bravado instantly crushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just joking! Just joking!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dear brother, don’t misunderstand!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two hatchlings immediately backed down, retreating rapidly away from Luo Si.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Si snorted softly, this time generously letting it pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, he couldn’t pursue it anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expeditions beyond the pit had exposed him to the wild’s many dangers; his training had been too intense, draining every last ounce of stamina, leaving his body extremely weak—he’d likely be beaten if he fought now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he showed no sign of weakness, relying on his past aura to intimidate the two hatchlings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had lost their only chance to retaliate and beat Luo Si.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Next time, train smarter—save some stamina for emergencies.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought, then found a large crater he’d smashed into the ground, didn’t mind the dirt, and simply sprawled out inside, using his own tail as a pillow, folding his wings over his body, coiling to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the days that followed, Luo Si’s life became regular and rich.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond daily training and forcing the hatchlings to mine, he occasionally left the pit, fighting beasts and monsters in the surrounding wilds to hone combat skills, while searching for a suitable new lair to prepare for his future solitary existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One year passed in a flash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1186,"2026-06-19T14:21:50.702Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","03f7cd9762e4636bea7399090bdcd6f118e59ce4b6054db926f5cd1b8ea5496f","toppling-the-entire-world-with-the-power-of-one--chapter-11","toppling-the-entire-world-with-the-power-of-one--chapter-9",101,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftoppling-the-entire-world-with-the-power-of-one--cover.jpg"]
