Book 10: Chapter 11: Rush (2)
Dyon sighed. The four beast babies, last time they appeared in the world, had been middle celestials. Their cultivation had even been higher than Dyon’s own back then. Currently, though, they were already Pseudo Dao experts. Yet, they were unsatisfied.
Dyon wasn’t angry that they felt that way. Though only Shere outwardly showed her anger, he could tell that Sen, Linlin and Biibi weren’t happy either.
He lightly stroked Shere’s head. Though she was mad, she at least didn’t move away from his touch.
Dyon actually believed he had the ability to help their bloodline reach the peak once more. If he combined [Cleanse] with his 4th level Dao white flames, he could cleanse them of all their impurities. Then, if he followed up with [Harmonious Whole], any weak foundations created by their previously weak talent would also be fixed.
But, if he did everything for them, their futures would without a doubt be limited. They had already relied on him too much. It was time for them to find strength within themselves, or they’d be stuck on the mortal plane just like all those other Higher Existence Dragons.
Dyon didn’t know why, but the immortal plane entered his mind more and more frequently lately.
It was a bit ridiculous when he thought about it. Even now, the immortal plane was so far from him. And, even if it was close, he couldn’t leave until he defeated The Entity first. But, that didn’t stop his thoughts from spinning out of control.
Dyon was very familiar with this feeling… It was the feeling he got when his subconscious worked faster than his conscious… It meant that his mind had silently pieced something together he himself hadn’t quite grasped yet.
Dyon had relied on this very instinct many times before to make it to where he was now. He didn’t know what it was, but something big was about to happen, something even bigger that the Ancient Battlefield, maybe even bigger than The Entity itself.
‘I have to be prepared…’
Dyon looked toward his beast companions.
Sen shrunk to the form of a little monkey napping on his shoulder. Biibi lay her head on his right lap, while Shere napped to his left allowing him to touch her, but unwilling to touch him herself. As for Linlin, she silently floated in the air, overlooking the battlefield.
Of course, one couldn’t forget Little Yin and Yang who were always by his side.
‘Improve quickly… Maybe soon Chenglei alone won’t be enough.’ Dyon mumbled to himself quietly.
Though they couldn’t hear Dyon’s thoughts, they could clearly feel enough of his emotions to understand what he was thinking. These words alone were enough to light a fire under them.
“If you lift a finger during this expedition, I won’t forgive you again!” Shere roared, her battle intent spreading across the dusty. A dense slaughter qi sliced the air apart as though reminding them all below how mighty she was.
Dyon smiled. “This was my intention all along. I’ll be relying on you four to sweep through the 100th quadrant. Take hold of this opportunity well, don’t let Chenglei look down on you!”
Shere growled, her deep white eyes flickering with a devilish blue flame.
She was itching on the inside. It wasn’t just her, but Biibi, Linlin and Sen as well. They knew that they only needed a thought to enter the dao realm, but they continuously suppressed it.
They weren’t fools, they knew was Dyon needed. He could already battle Peak Dao experts alone, he didn’t need normal beast partners. He needed supreme grade allies no weaker than a Dragon! Only then could they stand proudly by Chenglei and Dyon’s sides.
Under Shere’s raging battle intent, the tournament below reached its apex.
In the end, the final eight of the younger generation were Saru, Ryu, Pjisel, Brahman, two young men and two young women from lesser Clans.
The two light grey skinned young men were from a very familiar Clan to Dyon, the 21st ranked Gemini Clan.
[Author’s Note: introduced just before Dyon entered the Valley of Geniuses.]
The Gemini Clan were formed of an odd race of humans that were guaranteed to be born as twins. In addition to this, there was even a good chance they’d be born as triplets, quadruplets, or even quintuplets!
Their foremost geniuses of this generation were two sets of identical triplets born to the same mother at the same time. These two young men were from the male set of triplets. Unfortunately, their younger brother hadn’t managed to make it into the top 8 though he too was part of Dyon’s battalion.
When others saw that all three triplets landed in Dyon’s hands, they couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. But Dyon stood silently, his skin as thick as a city wall. Even if they beat him to death, he would never admit foul play.
The other two women were familiar to Dyon as well. One was from the Streluna Clan, the current 12th ranked among the quadrants. Dyon had fought a battle with her elder brother back when his cultivation was sealed. Dyon thought she might have held a grudge about this, but her eyes shone with nothing but reverence when she looked at him.
Of course, as a woman of the Streyluna Clan, in addition to be a blood boiling beauty, she had two gorgeous moon sabers strapped to her wide curved hips.
The final woman was actually a member of the 17th ranked Amazonian Clan. But, unlike the she-man Dyon had fought back when his cultivation was sealed, this lady was incredibly delicate. Well… As delicate as an 8-foot-tall woman could be.
Still, despite her height, she was a city toppling beauty. And, the way her bow strapped across her chest, pushing those proud mounds outward, stimulated the soul of every man present.
Maybe it would be so bad to bed a taller woman…
