Chapter 464: Chapter 422: Divine Dragon (Part 3)

The height of the Blue Star sky is incredibly high, and even at this altitude, there are clouds.

Yet the passing rain clouds seem nonexistent; merely the dragon’s proximity scatters them, and as it departs, they gather back together again.

Clouds follow the dragon, and the wind follows the tiger.

The power to manipulate clouds is an innate ability of all Great Xia Divine Dragons.

Its back is divided into four parts, each corresponding to a school team.

Each team’s space is relatively isolated; the people from Zhen Sheng City Experimental School were placed near the dragon’s head by this Profound Dragon, and their voices couldn’t transmit across.

“Master, can you fly as fast as it does?”

Standing on the dragon’s back and looking down for a while, Leng Shengnan asked in curiosity, addressing Bai Wu beside her.

This newly promoted True Man was also accompanying the Zhen Sheng City Experimental School team.

He didn’t have much baggage work-wise and was relatively free, so he could accompany Leng Shengnan to this state competition—much like how Kaiwen accompanied Lin Guang.

As for the True Men from Celestial Star Sect…

They would first travel from Nanhai City to Li Hai City, and meet up then.

Upon hearing Leng Shengnan’s inquiry, Bai Wu turned and answered her question: “For short distances, yes.”

Everyone around subtly perked up their ears.

— Aside from the three competitors, the accompanying medical personnel couldn’t interact with those of the True Man grade, even if it was a newly promoted True Man.

After reaching Six-Star, Bai Wu still wore his usual white tight suit, with no visible changes in his age, only with his aura becoming deeper and standing there like an unfathomable iceberg.

“However, I am not adept at long-distance runs; it should maintain this speed until reaching Li Hai City, which is something I cannot achieve.”

Leng Shengnan was a bit surprised: “Is it that powerful? Even you can’t do it?”

“Dragons are naturally symbols of strength and nobility, and the Profound Dragon is extremely strong among the Dragon Race. Even if it hasn’t broken through to the Beast King Realm, it may not be weaker than ordinary True Men.”

Bai Wu shook his head: “After all, dragons are the totems of our Great Xia.”

Lin Guang’s expression also shifted slightly.

It is impossible to verify from which worlds the Great Xia Divine Dragons originate, as there are simply too many worlds with Great Xia dragon species.

In any case, for over five hundred years since the great upheaval, their figures have always appeared in history, signing covenants with humans to combat the Demon Race together.

The Great Xia Divine Dragons are almost all Spirit Beasts of purple grade or higher, with numerous species, yet their bloodlines are noble, able to summon wind and rain, wield thunder, breathe red flames, and have claws that could cleave gold.

The Profound Dragon is an exceptionally formidable category among them, affiliated with the Water Element, more proficient in manipulating Water Attribute Ether, and with an extremely strong physique; there was once a Tier Seven Profound Dragon King that, together with a Spirit Master, held a record of swallowing an entire Demon Army led by a Demon King on the Outer Battlefield.

Among the Profound Dragon race, there exist Tier Eight Divine and Holy Dragons, always in a completely bound relationship with Great Xia, admired by innumerable people.

It can be said that any Great Xia person would aspire to contract such a majestic and charming Divine Dragon.

Not just Great Xia, people from other countries are also captivated by the Profound Dragon.

Last century, Fusang Country applied to borrow a Profound Dragon from Great Xia for thirty consecutive years under the guise of “academic research,” and was only agreed five years ago.

Allegedly, the Fusang Country’s national leader, the only Seven-Star Spirit Master, personally wrote a state letter to Great Xia, promising the Profound Dragon’s treatment, and Great Xia reluctantly agreed to inquire within the Profound Dragon group, finally finding a pair of adult Profound Dragons willing to travel at public expense, with only a ten-year term, and if progeny are birthed, they must be returned to Great Xia after maturation.

Thus, Fusang Country was jubilant, sparing a considerable area in their sole dragon vein, the capital “Eastern Capital,” erecting a mountain specifically for the two Profound Dragons.

The obligation of the Profound Dragons was merely to occasionally venture out, allowing citizens to witness the divine majesty of the “Holy Beast,” even arranging two Six-Star True Men for close protection.

The silver-haired girl beside Lin Guang then sat cross-legged on the ground, attempting to touch its scales.

At first, her actions were normal, merely fiddling and touching.

Until she curiously tapped at the gaps between the scales with lightly glowing red nails, seemingly trying to infuse Ether…

Then she was struck with a water column condensed by the Water Element Ether emitted from the gaps, splashing in her face.

She wiped her face, yelling in surprise and anger: “*Kazdail curse*, the mount is rebelling!!”

Lin Guang shook his head, pulled out a towel, and began to wipe her face: “Stop playing around; you were tickling it first, and it’s not a mount.”

Vishdair grimaced but obediently settled down in his embrace without further antics: “Not a mount, then is it a pet?”

Lin Guang paused slightly, becoming somewhat entranced: “A pet, huh…”

Having been silent all along, Du Qing showed slight interest, arms crossed: “Not impossible.”

“The Sect Leader of Celestial Star Sect, my master, had an agreement with a peak Tier Six Meteor Dragon. Though no contract was made, it essentially served as his personal pet, nurtured within the sect, accompanying him on distant travels, with its starlight trail visible in the sky.”

“I see.”

Lin Guang put away the towel, seated the silver-haired girl properly, and looked towards Chelina and Lisa: “What’s your opinion?”

“Would you like to have a chance to raise one in the future?”

“…”

Future.

Spoken by Lin Guang, the term seemed…to evoke silence.
