The dragon spirit tells him repeatedly that his training is inefficient and that his magic wil help the MC to easily surpass his past self by miles, yet the MC insists on stregth trainig which only enabled him to barely touch the dragon in his past life (the dragon apparently didnt receive any injuries during the fight and was just exhausted), forsaking the second chance he is getting.

The MC refuses it with the explanation that what aided and protected him in his past life was strength training (basically cultivation). The dragon spirit offers the MC to teach him real magic so that he can prevent the controlled dragon to awaken. Turns out the dragon was mind controlled by an evil wizard and managed to break free for a moment during the battle to cast the time spell (The dragon returns with the MC to the past and his spirit lives in the MCs body kind of like a xianxia spirit grandpa). The dragon ultimately casts magic to return MC to the past with dragon spirit in his conscious. In a final attempt the MC attacks the dragon and manages to touch him. At the end of the fight the dragon is exhausted but suffered no scratch.

The MC the 1000 strongest humans including the MC unite and attack the weakend dragon that is suppressed by the formation. The MC fights a Dragon for revenge because his first and second wife died because of it.A formation is set up that seals the dragons dragon form.
