“Alright, let’s start today’s training. Let’s start with warm….Captain His Majesty has asked for your presence.” Amber couldn’t help but smile hearing these words. These 16 days, Amber has been wanting to meet Aditya and show him the progress that she has made.
“Alright, I am coming. Ella, you take over.”

Scene change___
“Your Majesty, I am extremely happy to see you back.” Currently, Aditya was sitting at the dining table. Watson was sitting on his right side. The maids have begun preparing breakfast for their King and everyone. 𝒊𝒃𝙧𝙚𝒂𝓭.𝓬𝙤𝙢
“Tyler, Nathan, Eleanor, and Henry, I am happy to see that all of you have reached beginner 3rd-order.”
“It was all thanks to his Majesty’s dragon blood. It would have taken us months to reach this level.” Even with the pills that Julia had made for them, it would have taken them at least 4 to 7 months to reach 3rd-order; maybe even more time.
“Tyler, there is no need to thank me. The seven of you are my generals. In the future, each of you will be burdened with heavy responsibilities. Each of you will have to lead armies on the battlefield. As my most trusted subordinate, you all deserved it.”
It was not just Tyler, Nathan, Eleanor, and Henry who had reached the 3rd-order, but Josh, Amber, and Scott also had reached the beginner 3rd-order. Amber’s situation is a little special. Because of her Royal Fox bloodline, she can cultivate body warrior and mage paths. In the warrior path, she had reached beginner 3rd-order while in the Mage path she has broken through Peak 2nd-order.
Aditya was special. Because of having a dragon bloodline, he only had to cultivate one path. His dragon bloodline gave him a three-element manipulation ability, a mage ability. While his dragon body put his physical stats way above warrior cultivators who have the same cultivation as Aditya.
“Don’t just stand there. Sit down and have breakfast with me.” This was not the first time Aditya had invited them to have breakfast with him. Everyone took a chair and seat down.
“How is the recruit’s training going on?” Aditya asked.
“Your Majesty in another half month or a month’s time, the troops in my division would be ready to enter the battlefield.” All the recruits were given special pills that Julia had made. With these pills even a person with ordinary talent can break reached mid-1st-order in just one month and a half.
“Except for 534 recruits, all other recruits in my 7th division have reached Peak 1st-order. While a few talented recruits have managed recently breakthrough 2nd-order.” Henry looked proud reporting his progress to his Majesty. Unlike other division captains, it would have been wrong to say that Henry’s training regime is one of the most brutal ones out there.
Every day he would make the recruits in his division train for 10 hours. After having dinner, he would force them to spend another extra 5 hours cultivating. While the captains of other divisions allowed the new recruits to rest and do whatever they wanted after 10 hours of training, Henry did not give them this freedom. When it came to training no one was more strict than Henry.
“Wonderful. But be sure to not push the recruits too much. After all, they are not machines. They are living beings who also need rest.” Henry silently nodded his head. His majesty’s words made him realize that he has been too harsh on his recruits.
“From no one, I will give them half day rest every at Friday.” When the recruit’s training ended, they were free to leave training camp and roam around Azure city. But after a certain time, all the recruits had to come back otherwise they will be punished. And also during the training phase, no recruits are allowed to leave the city or take out the cultivation pills.
“What about you Nathan?” Previously Aditya had placed most of the Majins who were willing to work in Division 3.
“Out of 3,000 recruits in my division, all the Majins already have progressed to beginner 2nd-order. While around 30% of the remaining recruits are yet to reach Peak 1st-order. Except for the Majins, none of the recruits in my division are ready to take missions.” Compared to other divisions, the training to make assassins was way more complex. While other division can complete their training within 2 to 3 months, the recruits in Nathan’s Division needed at least 6 months.
After a small moment of silence, Aditya looked at Nathan and suggested. “Why don’t we try training the recruits by sending them to deal with low-level thugs and criminals?” Low-level thugs and criminals were ordinary people who bullied, robbed, and even killed other people.
Hearing Aditya’s words, Nathan’s eyes lit up in hope. “Your Majesty, I think this might be possible. Since our target will be low-level criminals my recruits should be able to take care of them. This will also give them some experience about their assassin life.”
“Alright, I will leave this matter in your hands. Do not disappoint me.” Nathan nodded his head.
The meeting went on for 5 more hours. In that meeting, all of the generals reported their progress in training new division troops. After their reports ended, Aditya gave them some suggestions.
The meeting went on while everyone had breakfast. Watson reported about the various changes that took within the Istarin Kingdom because of the merit earning system. He also reported to him about foreign affairs. Aditya then talked about the things that he had planned for his Kingdom.
After a long discussion, the generals went back to their respective training camps. But before leaving, Aditya asked them to remove the slave collar from the 700 slaves that he had previously bought. The slaves were totally loyal to the Istarin Kingdom. Aditya was not worried about the slaves running away or betraying him.

Right now, Watson and Aditya were on the other side of the castle to meet certain people who he has not seen for half a month.
“Young Master, are you planning on turning those 500 human slaves with mana crippled hearts into dragonians?”
“That’s the plan. I am also thinking of introducing a new division that will only have dragonians.” Leaving, Watson, Tyler, Nathan, Henry, and Eleanor aside, Aditya currently had 25 dragonians who were secretly training in the castle. The existence of the dragonians was only known to the generals and a few more people. All of those people were someone whom Aditya trusted with his life.
“Watson right now I am a divine dragon. Right now I cannot show the world that I have a divine dragon otherwise I will attract the attention of many powerful beings from all over the world.” Aditya had a different identity in the northwestern region. Even if his divine dragon bloodline awakening had caught the attention of some big powerhouse, they cannot investigate and find the husband of the Goddess of alchemy as his identity was fake. But the same thing won’t happen if the world learns that the Istarin King has the Divine dragon bloodline.
Forget about the divine dragon part, if the people learn that the Goddess’s husband is the King of the Istarin Kingdom, many powerful factions from the northwestern region won’t hesitate to plot and scheme to destroy his Kingdom.
The identity of a dragon who has managed to awaken the divine dragon bloodline is too sensitive. Having the Divine dragon bloodline means that Aditya was destined to reach 7th-order or maybe even high order. The most powerful factions that stood at the top of the world would take this news either as a threat or as an opportunity. Some would use this opportunity to befriend a future 7th-order powerhouse; just like what the Emperor of Echo Dominion did. Some factions who are feeling threatened would want to eliminate Aditya before he can reach the 7th order.
“But young master, you did not change your name? What if someone finds you with your name?” Watson worriedly asked.
The husband of the Goddess and the Istarin King had the same name. What if people realize that both are the same person?
“That won’t happen. You will find thousands of males on this continent who have the exact same name as me. The probability of that happening is too small.” Besides Aditya was not planning on hiding forever. As long as his Kingdom manages to become a 5th-tier powerhouse, then he has nothing to worry about. Given how fast his Kingdom was developing, it won’t take the Istarin kingdom to become a 5th-tier powerhouse.
Knock! Knock!
“Come in.” Aditya couldn’t help but smile hearing the familiar voice.
Click!
After opening the door, Aditya saw a person who completely looked unrecognizable.
“You have changed a lot Leo.”
