Chapter 124 Agile Fatty
No need for any tests, Leon could clearly feel the tremendous change occurring within him as he achieved Dan Formation.
Despite having scales and wings, a dragon’s body characteristics are more akin to those of feline animals rather than reptiles, and they move just like cats, elegantly so.
However, as dragons gradually grow, they become clumsier. Despite their graceful strides, turning and jumping become increasingly burdensome, akin to how a large ship struggles to make sharp turns. In terms of numbers, a baby dragon’s agility remains the same as that of an Ancient Dragon, with no increase whatsoever.
Leon had always been troubled by this issue, often having to endure damage head-on because his body didn’t allow him to perform intricate dodging maneuvers. At most, he could only tilt his head to dodge arrows, except when using the Gathering Form and Scattering Energy technique to show off.
But now, that was no longer a problem. With the Dan Formation turning his Essence, Energy, and Spirit into one complete Dan, where there was no separation between them, his movements became agile once again. He returned to his baby dragon agility, effortlessly sprinting and jumping, suddenly bursting forth in a sprint or even jumping to heights he previously couldn’t imagine ... transforming back into a big cat.
If there were a data panel, Leon was sure his agility had significantly improved. Even if it wasn’t to the level of his strength or close to his physical stats, improving wasn’t too difficult. The benefits included higher armor levels, increased agility exemptions, and better initiative.
Leon couldn’t help but think, although dragons possessed tremendous strength, sometimes they couldn’t run because, as their body grew larger, the neural transmission time from the brain to the limbs took longer, muscles reacted slower and delays heightened, naturally making movements seem slower.
But now, his movements were quick because the Dan Formation significantly improved the speed of neural transmission; a mere thought could now swiftly control a body response, greatly reducing delays and enhancing reaction speed.
As Leon’s partner in Dual Cultivation, Tassera watched him closely having successfully achieved Dan Formation with him, observing him as he hopped and jumped around on the desert sand and suddenly shouted, "Leon!"
Leon turned to look at Tassera, who raised her hand and, using the readily available sand of the desert, crafted a large disc before throwing it into the air.
Leon, looking up, saw the disc approaching, leaped mightily to a height of dozens of meters, slapped the sandy disc into pieces with his palm, then flexibly twisted his body while falling to land perfectly on all fours, showcasing powerful balance.
