Chapter 415: Chapter 417: Reach Monarch Level Within Three Days

“He really will do just about anything,” Zhu Minglang said.

In a world so vast, truly nothing is impossible.

“Let me tell you, these convicts are not your average criminals; they’re all incredibly vicious cultivators with formidable strength. They’re cold-blooded killers, each one a seasoned demon lord. Some of the faint-hearted don’t even dare to watch, let alone participate in this hunting festival,” Luo Shaoyan said.

“So you’re taking part?” Zhu Minglang asked with a smile.

“Heh, I’ve signed up. I won’t lie to you—I’ve recently taken a liking to a junior at school who’s rather fond of these bloody games. I’ve asked her out for drinks, to admire the plum blossoms, and to hot springs, but she’s not interested. She even challenged me, saying that if I’m really a man, I should join the hunt and rub shoulders with those cold-blooded demon lords…” Luo Shaoyan said with some embarrassment.

“I tend to prefer peace,” Zhu Minglang said, shaking his head to refuse.

“You’re a Black Ancient Dragon, aren’t you? I remember this time the reward includes a portion of premium Black Dragon Blood Essence. Are you sure you’re not interested?” Luo Shaoyan asked.

Zhu Minglang stopped in his tracks.

“You can capture them and hand them over to the organizers, too. I’m not too fond of this inhumane form of entertainment either, but it’s incredibly popular in the Neon Sea. After all, many of those convicts are notorious murderers,” Luo Shaoyan continued.

“I’ll go take a look when the time comes,” Zhu Minglang reluctantly agreed.

“This Black Dragon Soul Bead has quite a story, too. It belonged to a brutal Evil Dragon that once terrorized the Coastal City, devouring approximately three thousand four hundred people in a single day, targeting the young and crushing the old and weak with a swipe of its claw. To subdue this Evil Dragon, the Nine Tribes dispatched many dragon hunting experts. Several attempts failed, and many died before someone from the Yan Clan managed to kill it and obtain this rare Black Dragon Blood Essence,” Luo Shaoyan added.

Black Dragon Soul Beads, these are indeed very precious.

Zhu Minglang glanced at Big Black Tooth, which still had some crocodile traits, belonging to a rather primitive and mediocre bloodline. If it could acquire a Black Dragon Soul Bead, that would certainly help it evolve towards a higher bloodline in its growth process.

In the previous cycle, Big Black Tooth suffered from its inferior bloodline, unable to keep up with the other dragons in cultivation base; its progress was also slow.

Now, Big Black Tooth had a great start. With the feeding of Holy Spirit-level meat and some bloodline shaping, it would essentially be on its way to becoming a Noble Black Dragon!

Black Dragon Blood Essence.

Such things are indeed hard to find, and Zhu Minglang quite wanted it.

“Call me when it’s time,” Zhu Minglang said.

“No problem, haha, with you there, I’ll probably be a lot safer,” Luo Shaoyan said.

“You’re afraid yourself and don’t dare to face those cold-blooded Great Devils alone, so you called me for moral support, right?” Zhu Minglang said. freēwēbnovel.com

“Heh, having a powerful partner is always better than fighting alone.”

…

After Luo Shaoyan left, Zhu Minglang estimated the growth progress of his two dragons.

The so-called hunting banquet was scheduled for next week. Judging by the training pace, Big Black Tooth would enter its growth phase by then.

As for the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon, Zhu Minglang also planned to try and have Little Glow Spirit, which had accumulated a large amount of pure spiritual energy, bestow a gift to directly propel the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon into adulthood.

Upon reaching adulthood, the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon would at least possess Monarch-level cultivation base.

With such capabilities, attending that fearsome hunting banquet would be much safer.

…

After completing the morning’s dragon taming, Zhu Minglang returned to his residence, only to find his classmates had already packed their belongings.

“Are you heading back to Li Chuan?” Zhu Minglang asked when he saw them carrying big and small bags.

“We’ve earned the qualification to advance our studies, so of course, we’d want to learn major skills before we return,” said Li Shaoying.

“We’re taking on a mission in hopes of earning more credits to exchange for more resources at the Treasure Tower. The resources at the High Court are really abundant!” Hong Hao said.

“What mission?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“It’s to head inland along the coastline. There’s a vast wetland there overrun with Lizard Water Monsters, and there are reportedly quite a number that have turned into demons. We’re planning to strike at their nest,” Hong Hao explained.

“That sounds quite challenging,” Zhu Minglang remarked.

He had been there before, where all of Little Qingzhuo’s real combat training during its youth was conducted against those Lizard Water Monsters.

The stretch of wetlands by the coast he frequently visited was only a small part of the entire area, with more colonies of Lizard Water Monsters dwelling further inland, where there are more varieties of Lizard species, and possibly even giant lizards that have undergone the dragon transformation.

“Yeah, that’s why we’re planning to collaborate. We’ll distribute the credits evenly afterward,” Hong Hao said.

“Count me in, I happen to need some real combat training recently,” Zhu Minglang said.

“Huh??? Your Azure Phoenix Green Saint Dragon can take on higher-level missions, you don’t have to lower yourself to these with us…” Lu Wenye said, puzzled.

In their view, Zhu Minglang was already far ahead of them; there was no need for him to take on these lower-level missions.

“I have a young dragon that greatly lacks this kind of exercise, and Lizard Water Monsters make a suitable target for its training,” Zhu Minglang responded.

“That couldn’t be better, having you with us is at least some assurance!”

“Zhu Minglang, if you’re coming with us, I might as well see if there’s a suitable mission for the level of your Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon. If anything comes along the way, not only could you earn a nice sum of credits effortlessly, but we could also benefit by taking part in the number and levels of missions,” Hong Hao proposed.

“Sure, just try not to pick anything too complicated. I have important matters next week,” Zhu Minglang replied.

The Dragon Taming High Court categorized all missions by their level of danger.

This allowed students of different strengths to tackle missions appropriate for them, preventing mishaps during the execution of the missions.

“No problem, I’m always studying the mission board for those that are clearly time-saving, low-effort, yet high-credit. Once this is done, I’ll be able to exchange for a Lord-level Soul Bead. No matter what, I must make my Wind Wolf Dragon a Dragon Lord. That way, once I return to Li Chuan, I will be able to call the shots!” Hong Hao declared.

“Can’t you set a more long-term goal? Anything less than Monarch Level still makes you a minor character in the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent,” Nan Ye said.

“Something like Monarch Level, you can’t just seek it out—it’s a matter of fate. Even Zhu Minglang hasn’t reached it yet, right?” Hong Hao countered.

“Within three years, he definitely will step into Monarch Level,” Nan Ye stated.

Zhu Minglang gave Nan Ye a deep look.

My dear nephew, you got it wrong. It’s within three days.

No, if this training goes well, it is the Azure Phoenix Green Dragon that will reach Monarch Level cultivation within three days.

Hong Hao didn’t say anymore and hurried to the mission institute to find a Lord-level, high-difficulty mission for Zhu Minglang.

There were indeed many resources within the Dragon Taming High Court, no inferior to those outside. As for credits, Zhu Minglang would certainly not complain about having too many.

He might even be able to exchange some for Little Wild Jiao, helping it undergo its dragon transformation!
