Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Roar!
Besieged by the six people, the 50-meters-long Golden Colossal Dragon roared furiously again and again. It either bit with its razor-sharp teeth, sprayed dragon breath or smacked with its claws. Its dragon might was vast, majestic, and extremely domineering.
It was just a shame that the six assailants were similarly no simpletons. Not only were they terrifyingly strong, but they also moved with great rapport and coordination and were simply suppressing the Golden Colossal Dragon.
“Your Highness, hand over the golden fruit.”
“As long as you hand over the fruit, we won’t make things difficult for you.”
“Your Highness, you’re already a Saint Domain expert. The fruit is useless to you. As long as you hand over the golden fruit, we’ll immediately…”
The six people’s minds were moving as they besieged the Golden Colossal Dragon. To be honest, they were under great pressure—after all, the Golden Colossal Dragon in front of them was a princess of the empire.
Had this not been the exchange competition, and had the golden fruits not been that important, they would never have dared to besiege a princess of the empire, no matter how bold they were.
Roar!
The Golden Colossal Dragon roared furiously into the sky, not giving any sort of response at all. It sprayed golden dragon breath from its mouth and attacked the six assailants madly.
At the sight of that, the six assailants’ countenances gradually turned cold.
“Your Highness, since you refuse to cooperate with us, then don’t blame us for not being civil with you!”
“Attack!”
“Bring her under control first!”
“The fruit is ours!”
“Kill!”
The six assailants didn’t hold back anymore. They unleashed their strongest attacks one by one, their offensive power reaching several times of what it had previously been.
With that, the Golden Colossal Dragon finally couldn’t quite parry their moves anymore, sinking into straitened circumstances and perilous ground…
At last, it was firmly shackled on the spot by countless green vines and rendered immobile.
“Your Highness, sorry about this.”
“Molly, take her spatial ring.”
“Okay!”
A female assailant quickly bent over and began to search the Golden Colossal Dragon. In no time, she found two spatial rings.
“Retreat!”
Their countenances overjoyed, they got ready to withdraw.
“Leaving right after beating someone up? Is there anything that value-for-money in this world?”
At this point, an aloof voice rang out. The six assailants’ countenances changed, and they got into a defensive stance at once.
A big, muscular Black Dragon Person holding a broadsword among them barked fiercely, “What’s so impressive about playing hide and seek? Get the hell out here if you have the guts!”
“You sure are boastful despite not being very strong.”
A teenager descended from the sky and landed lightly on his feet like a falling leaf as he watched the six of them with a calm and peaceful expression on his face.
“Who are you?”
The six assailants were a little stunned, seemingly not having expected the intruder to actually be that young. Nevertheless, they didn’t carelessly let down their guard.
After so many days of the exchange competition, how could those that had managed to survive to this day possibly be people easy to get along with? The weak ones had long since been eliminated.
It’s him!
At the same time, a huge jolt went through the Golden Colossal Dragon trapped on the ground by vines as it watched the teenager with a look of disbelief on its face.
“Who I am isn’t important.”
The teenager was indeed Meng Lei. He said calmly, “What’s important is that all of you should know what I’m about to do. So, you don’t need me to explain what you should do now, right?”
“Thinking of snatching our magic cores?”
“That’ll depend on whether or not you have the ability to do so!”
The six of them sneered, and then their auras burst forth from them as they got ready to attack. They had as many as six people in their team; they didn’t fear Meng Lei at all.
“You overestimate yourselves.”
Meng Lei shook his head lightly. Then, he grabbed the air lightly, upon which six leaves appeared in his palm. With the leaves in his grasp, he flicked his wrist lightly and ordered, “Go!”
The feather-light leaves became incredibly sharp and sliced through the air, emitting shrill whizzes and shooting straight toward the six assailants.
“Trying to defeat us with just a few leaves?”
“You’re going too far!”
The six assailants, who felt humiliated by Meng Lei, flew into a rage. Considering their strength, did he actually think that he could defeat them with just a few flying flowers and leaves?
He was totally insulting them!
However, the leaves’ speed surpassed their imagination. Before they could even respond, they had already slashed across their throats.
Waves of pain came over them.
The six assailants reached out and touched their necks, upon which blood stained their hands.
“This…”
Horrified and alarmed, the six of them stared at Meng Lei in shock and horror, only to realize that he had already vanished, his whereabouts unknown.
Right on the heels of it, a dull thud rang out.
Whoosh!
Meng Lei floated back to where he was. By then, all six assailants had already collapsed onto the ground, either clutching their abdomens, arms, or heads…
They moaned in pain and groaned in agony, their previous momentum nowhere in sight anymore.
“A bunch of trash…”
Meng Lei shook his head. Then, he paid no more attention to the six pathetic fellows, turned to the Golden Colossal Dragon, and walked over.
Although the Golden Colossal Dragon was a size smaller than Prince Barbarossa, it was still enormous, nevertheless. Standing in front of it, Meng Lei was no different from a dwarf!
“This aura… There’s no mistaking it!”
Meng Lei gazed at the Golden Colossal Dragon, and then a smile formed on his countenance. “I don’t know what you’ve been through that suddenly made you a Saint Domain expert, but my instincts shouldn’t be wrong. It’s been a while, Abbe!”
As he spoke, several wind blades shot out of him and severed the infinite number of green vines trapping the Golden Colossal Dragon.
A huge jolt went through the Golden Colossal Dragon, and a complex look flashed across its eyes. Then, its body shrank rapidly, and in no time, it resumed its human form.
Meng Lei was stunned at once.
A tall, slender figure and crystal-clear skin!
Beautiful, exquisite features and eyes that were bright like the stars!
Splendid, elegant dragon horns and a refreshing body fragrance!
A face so beautiful that it could take one’s breath away!
She was a beauty that could make one lose control!
Despite having seen an infinite number of natural beauties, Photoshopped beauties, as well as beauties shaped by cosmetic surgery in his past life, he daresay that not a single one could rival the woman currently standing in front of him.
She was just like a noble fairy that had walked straight out of a fairytale—pure, flawless, elegant, and… beautiful.
There was only one word to describe her—gorgeous!
“You… You’re not Abbe?”
Meng Lei swallowed hard. Abbe was a man, y’know!
“My name is Asabelle.”
The beauty’s lips moved as she replied, her voice holding a slight chill to it.
“Isn’t that Abbe’s voice?” Meng Lei was stupefied. “Who exactly are you?”
“I’m Abbe!”
Abbe sighed and said, “It’s been a while, Meng Lei.”
“Are you really Abbe? But isn’t Abbe male?” Meng Lei was even more dumbfounded. “Also, your looks aren’t right, either!”
“You’re really…”
Abbe was rendered speechless. Then, she took out a necklace embedded with an emerald, and a miraculous scene happened the next moment—a thin layer of mist appeared on the surface of her skin, and her originally beautiful face turned into an ordinary-looking one.
It was a face that Meng Lei couldn’t be any more familiar with—it was Abbe’s face!
“You really are Abbe…”
Meng Lei was rendered speechless. “Weren’t you a guy previously? Why have you suddenly turned into a woman? Which exactly is the real you?”
“I’m female!” Abbe explained softly, “Previously when I was studying in Fire Dragon Magic Academy, I had disguised myself as a man in order to avoid unnecessary trouble.”
“Alright! No wonder you were so cold to me. So you’re a girl!”
Meng Lei shook his head. Then, he asked, “Since you’re a Golden Colossal Dragon Person and on top of that, your Golden Colossal Dragon bloodline development has even reached such a stage, you must be a princess of the empire?”
Abbe stayed quiet for a brief moment before she nodded and replied, “I’m 1,001st in the family and am Father’s 1,001st child.”
“T-the 1,001st… 1,001st Princess?”
Meng Lei couldn’t help but gasp. “His Majesty sure is fertile! To think he has actually given you so many brothers and sisters!”
“Brothers and sisters?”
Abbe gave a self-mocking smile and said no more.
“But you sure know how to act! We’ve been housemates—with one living upstairs and one downstairs—for half a year. Even though we didn’t speak to each other much, I really couldn’t tell that you’re a girl, let alone a princess.”
Meng Lei remarked wistfully, “If I’d known you’re a princess, maybe I’d have curried favor with you properly? Who knows?”
“Curry favor with me? Do you think I’d have believed you?” Abbe rolled her eyes. “All you care about is your cultivation. Even if you had known that I was a princess, you probably wouldn’t have given me the time of day anyway…”
“Hahaha, look at what you’re saying…”
Meng Lei gave a patronizing laugh and changed the subject. “By the way, if memory serves me right, you were just a Seventh-Grade Warrior a few months ago, weren’t you? Why are you…”
About two to three months ago, Abbe had barely been a Seventh-Grade Warrior after she had transformed into a Golden Colossal Dragon Person. She had even been beaten up badly by a few Demigiants. If it hadn’t been for him, she would have croaked a long time ago!
And yet, she was currently emanating a Saint Domain aura after transforming into a Golden Colossal Dragon.
Seventh-Grade!
Saint Domain!
The change between then and now was simply too great. It was practically even more monstrous than Meng Lei’s cheating.
“I went to the Dragon Transformation Pool.”
Abbe only touched briefly on the subject. After saying the three words “Dragon Transformation Pool”, she didn’t say any more, clearly not intending to offer any further explanation.
Meng Lei could only ask Ol’ Amos, “What’s the Dragon Transformation Pool, Ol’ President?”
“The Dragon Transformation Pool is one of the Dragons’ important places.” Ol’ Amos explained, “Contained within it is the pure blood essence of ancient Dragons. If Drakes could go inside and cultivate there, they’d be able to greatly refine the Dragon bloodline in their bodies and transform into Dragons. It’s just that…”
“What is it?” Meng Lei hurriedly asked.
“In typical situations, only Drakes that have reached Saint Domain level are qualified to enter the Dragon Transformation Pool. It’s very hard for those beneath Saint Domain level to enter, even if they’re the emperor’s sons or daughters.”
Ol’ Amos was rather puzzled. “This isn’t because the Dragons are misers. Rather, it’s because it’s extremely dangerous inside the Dragon Transformation Pool, so Drakes weaker than Saint Domain level aren’t able to handle the ancient Dragons’ blood essence’s forcefulness at all. I really wonder how that little girl managed to endure it.”
Stunned, Meng Lei couldn’t help but give Abbe a deep, profound look.
“What’s wrong?”
Abbe was confused.
“Looks like you’ve gone through a lot during these two months. But it’s alright. You’ve come through in the end.” Meng Lei shook his head lightly. “Never mind, let’s not talk about that anymore. Where are you intending to go after this? Why don’t you retreat together with me?”
“No! I want to continue looking for and collecting the divine tree’s fruits. If it’s possible, I even want to look for that Tree of Life and kill it so that I can take all the fruits it has!”
A glint shone in Abbe’s eyes as she spoke.
“You’re already a Saint Domain. Why are you so hung up over collecting the divine tree’s fruits?” asked Meng Lei, who had gotten a shock from her words.
“Because the golden fruits hold great use to me!”
Abbe said in a low voice, “Prior to coming to this continent, I was only at the pinnacle of ninth-grade, much less able to transform into a Golden Colossal Dragon.
“But after I accidentally ate a divine tree fruit, not only did I successfully break through to Saint Domain level, but the Golden Colossal Dragon bloodline inside me was also greatly refined.
“I realized that the golden fruits held great use for me right away. As long as I can consume more of them, I might just be able to become a real pure-blooded Golden Colossal Dragon!”
“The golden fruits can do that, too?” Greatly astounded, Meng Lei asked, “You’re clearly already able to transform into a Golden Colossal Dragon, though. Why do you still want to refine your bloodline?”
“I’m still a far way off from becoming a real Golden Colossal Dragon!” Abbe shook her head as she said, “I need even more golden fruits. I want to do everything I can to refine the Golden Colossal Dragon bloodline in me.”
“The transformation into a Colossal Dragon and being a pure-blooded Colossal Dragon are two different concepts.” Ol’ Amos explained, “Under typical circumstances, as long as a Dragon Person’s Colossal Dragon bloodline assimilation rate reaches 70%, they’ll be able to transform into a Colossal Dragon. However, they’re evidently still not 100% pure-blooded Colossal Dragons.”
