I Was a Trash Tier Dragon Once - Episode 5

The episode opens with a fierce battle as a dragon charges and unleashes a fireball. The protagonist attacks relentlessly, wounding a powerful Tier-3 Rock-Armored Bear monster. After devouring it, the dragon gains 10,000 evolution points and consumes a Jade Fruit, earning 40,000 more and triggering a major evolution. This unlocks the legendary skill 'Flame of Life,' which massively boosts damage but weakens the user for seven days and can only be used four times in a lifetime. The dragon’s rapid growth draws attention, revealing it can speak and is a noble dragon. Meanwhile, students are instructed to prepare for an upcoming exam in the distant Howling Abyss dungeon, setting the stage for the next challenge.
