Chapter 519 – Cajoling
Liu Feng had never known what fear was. He was able to achieve what he had today because he had always put in all his effort. He had never backed down at all and said, “It is fair for anyone to invite a senior soul beast to choose him in the Reclining Garden. What does it have to do with who comes first? Everyone has their own chance. It is a fair competition.”
As he spoke, soul rings appeared beneath his feet. He grabbed the air with his right hand and the White Dragon Spear appeared in his hand. Fine semi-circular white scales appeared and covered his entire body as he released his Martial Soul.
The main reason for his White Dragon Spear’s evolution was that his bloodline had evolved into the White Dragon King. At this moment, he released his aura. Although he only had four rings, it immediately attracted the attention of that Thorn Dragon.
The Thorn Dragon’s eyes were filled with surprise and curiosity as it looked at Liu Feng.
Liu Feng said, “Hello, senior. I am Liu Feng from Shrek Academy. My Martial Soul is the White Dragon Spear and has gone through a Second Awakening, transforming thus into the White Dragon King bloodline. You are an expert among dragon-type soul beasts and I am most proficient in speed. We should be more compatible.”
The Thorn Dragon looked at Liu Feng, then looked at the Spirit Pagoda’s deacon with hesitation.
The Spirit Pagoda deacon was enraged. He was almost done convincing the ten thousand-year Thorn Dragon, but he didn’t expect to be interrupted. Of course, he recognized the Thorn Dragon. It was because he knew how strong the Thorn Dragon was that he was so excited to try and see if he could get its approval.
Soul beasts like the one before them that chose to become a soul master’s Spirit Soul not because of old age had extremely high requirements. It was far more difficult to move them than the Tree Snake that Lan Xuanyu and his team encountered before.
And these soul beasts that picked soul masters in this way were all arrogant. Without absolute reliability, they wouldn’t choose easily.
“Little boy, you’re deliberately causing trouble, aren’t you?” The Spirit Pagoda’s deacon glared at Liu Feng. If it was any other place, he might not have been able to hold himself back and he would have made a move. This was a huge opportunity that impacted his future. But he didn’t dare to do so in the Reclining Garden. Once he made a move, he would be permanently expelled. Furthermore, he represented the Spirit Pagoda. Once he made a move, the Spirit Pagoda would be listed as an unwelcome target.
Liu Feng replied calmly, “Fair competition, uncle.”
‘Uncle?’ The Spirit Pagoda deacon was almost angered to death. ‘I’m only in my early twenties!’
The Spirit Pagoda deacon gritted his teeth. He knew that if he wanted to win, he would have to rely on his own abilities. He immediately turned to the Thorn Dragon and said, “Senior, my Martial Soul comes from a Second Awakening of the Velociraptor Martial Soul. If I remember correctly, the ancestor of the Thorn Dragon bloodline was actually a branch of the Velociraptor. It was just a stronger version. After my Martial Soul’s mutation, it has given birth to the king of the Velociraptors, which is the purest and thickest bloodline of the Velociraptor ancestor. Although this junior brother’s bloodline might be stronger than mine, with the White Dragon King being one of the legendary nine great dragon kings. However I think his bloodline is very thin. He is not as suitable as I am for you.”
The Thorn Dragon nodded its head in a very human manner and then pouted towards Liu Feng, as if asking, ‘Do you have any way to prove that you’re more suitable for me?’
Liu Feng was stunned and turned to look at Lan Xuanyu subconsciously. He was used to relying on Lan Xuanyu and would look for the captain if he had any problems.
Lan Xuanyu swung his right hand and a golden-patterned Blue Silver Grass shot out like lightning and coiled around Liu Feng’s body. In an instant, the White Dragon King scales on Liu Feng’s body emitted a strong luster and his aura increased by a large margin. The faint dragon roar became brighter and a faint white dragon shadow surrounded him.
“Bloodline enhancement?” The Spirit Pagoda deacon looked at Lan Xuanyu in shock. He only had three soul rings.
In the next moment, before he and Liu Feng could react, the ten thousand-year Thorn Dragon suddenly flashed with silver light and appeared in front of Lan Xuanyu in the next instant. Then, it did something that surprised everyone.
It was originally standing on its hind legs, but at this moment, it was crawling under Lan Xuanyu’s feet. Its eyes were filled with flattery, and its large tail was wagging like a puppy instead of a dragon.
“Master, master, please accept me.” Lan Xuanyu’s mind immediately received its thoughts.
Lan Xuanyu was dumbstruck as well. He only wanted to assist Liu Feng! He didn’t expect such a change.
What made him even more speechless was that the Thorn Dragon had already extended its tongue and was licking its feet. It was as flattering as possible.
The corners of the Spirit Pagoda’s deacon’s mouth twitched and Liu Feng’s face stiffened. ‘What’s going on?’
“Get up quickly.” Lan Xuanyu took a step back and stopped it from licking him.
The Thorn Dragon stood up and blinked its eyes. Its consciousness appeared in Lan Xuanyu’s mind once again. “Master, I’m very strong. I’m really very strong. I’ve been waiting for your arrival!” As it spoke, its body suddenly emitted a silver light and its black spikes suddenly turned silver. In the next moment, its gigantic body shook.
With a flash of silver light, it actually disappeared in an instant. When it reappeared, it was already 100 meters away. The spikes on its body emitted a glaring silver light as it swung its large tail.
Silver light burst forth from every spike, and all the silver light gathered together and shot out a long silver light with the tail as the foundation.
Immediately, a low rumble resounded in the air. With a “pop” sound, a pitch-black crack appeared in the sky. In an instant, a strong suction force came from the sky, causing everyone present to feel unsteady.
The thorns on the dragon’s body emitted a silver glow. In the next moment, with its body as the center, the surroundings suddenly turned pitch-black and its body turned black as well. It immediately turned ferocious.
Its gigantic body twisted and disappeared into the black hole. When it reappeared, it was already high up in the sky. Another black hole appeared and countless silver lights exploded, transforming into terrifying spatial fluctuations. In an instant, countless cracks appeared in the sky as though the entire world was about to shatter.
Although the Spirit Pagoda’s deacon knew about the Thorn Dragon, it was still extremely rare for a Thorn Dragon to appear even in ancient times. Both he and Lan Xuanyu knew that the Thorn Dragon was very strong, but they didn’t expect that this ten thousand-year soul beast would be so strong. Relying on his control over space, if this terrifying attack was targeted at everyone present, there might not be anyone who could block it!
With a flash of silver light, all the cracks in the sky disappeared. In the next moment, it returned to Lan Xuanyu with a flattering expression.
“Master, master. When I evolve a little more, I will be able to open up an exclusive space battlefield. If I can evolve to the one hundred thousand-year level with you and even gain a space-related domain ability, the Spatial Thorn Domain, I will definitely be very strong. Please accept me.”
Lan Xuanyu was indeed moved. The strength displayed by this Thorn Dragon was truly formidable, but at the same time, he realized his own problem. He didn’t need a Spirit Soul at all! What did he need a Spirit Soul for? His soul rings would appear automatically every time, and they didn’t come from a Spirit Soul at all!
Hence, he could only smile bitterly. “I’m sorry, I’m afraid I don’t need a Spirit Soul. If you can really sense my bloodline, you should be able to understand.”
The Thorn Dragon was stunned and suddenly shook its head. “That’s right! Why would the Golden Dragon King need a Spirit Soul? But Master, I want to follow you! Even if I’m only influenced by your Dragon aura, it will be of great help to me. In that case, please accept me as your servant. I don’t mind not being a spirit soul.”
Its consciousness appeared in Lan Xuanyu’s mind once again.
Lan Xuanyu was speechless. ‘Bringing a dragon to school? What’s going on? Also, soul beasts are not allowed to go to the human world.’
