Chapter 125: Do you understand the significance of being a hybrid of human and dragon?
It was soon the day for Muwen to awaken to her inherent elemental powers.
The couple had been eagerly anticipating this day for a long time.
High Emotional Intelligence: This day would determine Muwen's future growth trajectory.
Low Emotional Intelligence: Follow Dad or Mom? It all depends on today!
Knowing that today was the awakening day, the couple started getting competitive as soon as they met in the morning.
"Good morning, the weather is really nice," Leon greeted warmly.
Rossweise glanced at him teasingly. "You're actually greeting me proactively. You seem to be in a good mood."
"Of course, because Muwen is about to awaken the same magical element as her old man. I'm naturally in a good mood."
Rossweise crossed her arms, snorted, "Muwen's awakening will definitely be fire element. The dragon clan's genes are much stronger than you think."
Leon shrugged indifferently. "Well, if your dragon genes are so powerful, why is Noah still a lightning element?"
"It's a matter of probability."
"Hmph, when you see the lightning element symbol light up in Muwen's awakening array later, let's see if your mouth will still be as tough as it is now."
"Wait and see."
The couple walked side by side through the corridor, one with hands in pockets and the other with arms crossed, seeming very close and intimate, but in reality, just not wanting others to hear their arguments.
Leon persisted in believing that Muwen would awaken to the lightning element like Noah.
If that were the case, then both daughters being so much like their old man would undoubtedly be the most heart-wrenching episode for the mother dragon.
"You see, your powerful dragon genes are nothing compared to my strongest dragon slayer! How could mere humans possibly defeat the bloodline of dragons?"
Rossweise believed that relying on the mighty dragon genes would inevitably lead their youngest daughter to awaken the most classic element of fire.
"It's just luck for now, Leon Cosmodeous, you can't always be lucky."
The couple continued to argue as they made their way to the practice ground in the backyard. Anna and others were preparing the awakening array to be used later.
The awakening array was used to detect Muwen's inherent element, containing various elements of this magical continent. Once Muwen awakened to one of them, the corresponding elemental symbol would appear above the array.
And today's little protagonist was nervously and excitedly awaiting her turn.
"Muwen, over here!" Leon waved to his precious daughter.
Upon hearing his voice, the young dragon girl immediately looked in their direction, then jumped off the bench and ran over.
"Mom, Dad~" She stood in front of the couple. "Muwen is about to awaken her inherent element~"
Leon squatted down, encouraging and dotingly patting her little head. "Don't be nervous, just relax and do as Daddy taught you."
"Yeah, I know, Daddy."
Muwen then looked up at Rossweise. "Mom, you and Dad will keep watching me later, right?"
Rossweise also squatted down, holding Muwen's small hand. "Of course, Mom and Dad will be with you every step of the way."
Although they both hoped their daughter would awaken to the same element as themselves, they were steadfast in arguing about it.
But more than anything, it was out of concern and care as parents. And they were both happy about Muwen awakening to her inherent element at just over a year old.
You see, normal young dragons wouldn't achieve this until they were two or three years old. It can only be said that Muwen truly lived up to being the little sister of the genius Noah C. Melkvey.
When it's time to be cute and playful, she can do it, but when it's time to roll, she's naturally gifted. Every member of our Melkvey family is talented!
After chatting for a while, Anna walked over. "Your Majesty, Your Highness, Princess Muwen's awakening array is ready, and we can start at any time."
Rossweise responded, then looked at Muwen. "Go ahead, Muwen. Mom and Dad will be here the whole time."
"Yeah." Muwen nodded vigorously.
"Good luck." Leon gently patted his daughter's cheek to encourage her.
Muwen nodded again, then held by Anna's hand, walked into the awakening array.
Leon and Rossweise stood up as well, and the couple looked at each other, then chuckled in unison with great tacit understanding.
Leon: "Muwen's awakening—"
Rossweise: "Will definitely be—"
"Lightning/Fire element!"
This crucial family standoff, which had lasted for half a month, was finally about to come to its ultimate conclusion.
Leon and Rossweise turned their heads away, focusing all their attention on Muwen in the awakening array. The maids formed a semicircle around, ready at any moment.
Although the process of awakening her inherent element posed little danger, after all, it was the first time Princess Muwen would be using magic, so there was no harm in watching over her.
"Your Highness, let's begin when you're ready," Anna said from outside the array.
"Okay."
Muwen took two deep breaths to relax herself. Then, she closed her eyes and, following what her father had taught her, slowly merged her physical and mental strength to generate magic.
An invisible wave of energy emanated from her, gently lifting her clothes and hair as it swirled around her. The awakening array beneath her began to resonate, its intricate patterns glowing with golden light.
"The process of magic condensation is going smoothly," Leon remarked as he watched Muwen gradually enveloped by the light of the array.
"Usually, it takes several attempts to successfully condense magic for the first time, but Muwen managed to do it in just one try."
Rossweise murmured in agreement with Leon's assessment.
Next was the second step: releasing the condensed magic naturally through the body's magical circuits.
Muwen quietly felt the surge of magic, which felt like flowing water, pervasive and relentless. She had to guide it through her magical circuits to release it outward.
The techniques her father had taught her were very detailed and effective, making the process of guiding the magic flow smoothly for Muwen.
Then, as the awakening array accepted Muwen's magic, it would immediately reveal the corresponding elemental symbol.
Everyone, including Leon, Rossweise, and Anna, held their breath in anticipation, eager to see what elemental power Princess Muwen would awaken.
As Muwen's magic surged, faint arcs of red light traced across her arms, and several flames flickered around her.
Rossweise's eyes lit up; this was the sign of the manifestation of the fire element!
Sure enough, the next moment, the symbol representing the fire element appeared above the awakening array.
Anna applauded, and the maids expressed their congratulations one after another. If it weren't for maintaining her image as the queen, Rossweise would have undoubtedly run over excitedly to hug her beloved daughter and shower her with kisses.
Normally, the awakening of the fire element among dragons is quite common, but Muwen's awakening this time was very significant.
The Silver Dragon Queen turned slowly to look at Leon beside her. "Why aren't you smiling, Leon? Come on, smile!
Our daughter has successfully awakened. Aren't you happy?"
Leon remained silent. The silence at this moment was deafening.
Although he was happy for his daughter's successful awakening, he still had to endure Rossweise's "happiness" beforehand.
Happiness in this world is always balanced—if someone laughs, someone else cries. Isn't that right, Dragon Slayer?
Rossweise, seizing the opportunity, leaned her arm on Leon's shoulder, wearing a smug smile.
"I understand you. After all, you've won so many times, even against our eldest daughter. But, there's nothing you can do. This time, I win."
She withdrew her arm and patted Leon's cheek. "Alright, adjust your mood. There's nothing we can't overcome. Now, come with me to congratulate our daughter."
"…Wait a minute."
"What's wrong? Don't you recognize such a big fire elemental symbol?"
Leon slowly raised his hand, pointing his index finger towards Muwen at the center of the array. A surprised and joyful smile appeared on his face.
"The awakening… isn't over yet."
Upon hearing this, Rossweise immediately looked towards the array. Indeed, as Leon said, Muwen's awakening… was still ongoing.
They saw the flames around her gradually dissipate, replaced by… flickering and unpredictable azure lightning!
Rossweise's pupils slightly widened, the light reflecting in her eyes becoming even brighter.
To everyone's surprise, the fire elemental symbol above the array gradually merged into… the lightning element!
Whether human or dragon, this was a scene only seen in books and ancient texts—
"Dual awakening…"
