Chapter 401 – Dragon Eater Beast ?

TL : GoldenLung

Lan Xuanyu laughed. “I knew you wanted him to come out and eat as well. But I feel that you’re already become an unpopular guest at Sea God Lake. I heard from Teacher Tang Yue previously that if you go there again, he’ll increase the price for you, for two people’s worth.”

Qian Lei was speechless. “I won’t go then. Xuanyu, next time you help me bring in Fatty Jin, I’ll pay for it. That guy has a big belly and is much more cost-effective than me going. I haven’t lost much life energy now, so I don’t mind not going.”

“Stingy.” Lan Mengqin pouted.

Qian Lei replied indifferently, “One doesn’t become poor by eating or drinking, it’s when one can’t calculate that he becomes poor. This is what we call the way of housekeeping.”

Not long after, dishes were served one after another. It turned out that the Heavenly Delicacies was indeed excellent and worthy of its price. They had never heard of many rare ingredients. And more importantly, it tasted especially good.

In an instant, everyone’s mouths were filled with oil as they enjoyed themselves.

Fatty Jin naturally joined the feast as well. Qian Lei realized that Fatty Jin’s favorite food was the Earth Dragon Tendon. The first serving of Earth Dragon Tendon was filled to the brim with a large plate, and he had eaten more than half of it. And this was under the situation where the others had quickly snatched some.

Ke Hong was very generous and gave him another big portion. Lan Xuanyu had seen the price of this item previously and he felt that he wouldn’t spend money to eat it under ordinary circumstances since it was too expensive.

The hosts and guests enjoyed the entire meal. Fatty Jin could eat a lot, but the food here was very rich in nutrients, so he didn’t eat as much as usual.

After the meal, Qian Lei recalled him back to his body and said doubtfully, “Why do I feel that after Fatty Jin ate the tendon, it was somehow different from eating other things? He was extremely excited and I could clearly feel that while eating, his strength was increasing.”

Lan Xuanyu said thoughtfully, “When you summoned the Earth Dragon that time, he seemed like he wanted to eat it. Could it really be that eating a dragon-type soul beast could speed up his growth?”

After Fatty Jin drank water from Sea God Lake and woke up, he had clearly evolved. In terms of strength and defense, he had improved a lot. Especially after fusing with Qian Lei, it had allowed his strength to increase exponentially. He could even withstand Li Siqi’s Black Tortoise Shield’s offensive a few times. One must know that Li Siqi had five rings, and the Black Tortoise Shield was a defensive-type Martial Soul, so its strength was not weak.

Although Qian Lei was being beaten in a very passive position, he could at least hold on for a while. He didn’t know any battle techniques yet, and if he had some techniques, his fighting strength would undoubtedly increase.

Furthermore, Fatty Jin was still in his infancy stage and it was hard to say how far he could grow in the future. The crucial point now was how to let him grow quickly.

Qian Lei said, “Ever since I’ve become one with him, I’ve been observing his changes through my spiritual power. Fatty Jin likes life energy very much, and it will allow it to grow faster. It can be said that Elder Shu’s drop of Life Essence was the most helpful in that regard, allowing him to completely revive after slumbering for so many years. So, what we can be sure of is that life energy will allow him to grow and evolve. The Sea God Lake is a very good catalyst, but dragons seem to be able to awaken his bloodline. Just like that Earth Dragon that we encountered previously, he’d become fiercer and more aggressive. This stimulation will allow him to grow faster, and his absorption of life energy will also be faster. This means that life energy will allow it to grow, and dragons are a catalyst for its growth.”

“A Dragon Eating beast?” Liu Feng said concisely.

Qian Lei rolled his eyes. “How could there be such a thing?”

Liu Feng harrumphed. His Martial Soul had evolved into the White Dragon King and he was also a dragon type. When Qian Lei released Fatty Jin, it was obvious that Fatty Jin was very fierce towards him.

Lan Xuanyu said, “Let’s find a chance to ask Elder Shu about this. Elder Shu is very experienced and knowledgeable. Let’s see if he can judge what kind of species Fatty Jin belongs to from this situation. According to what we know, if we want to let Fatty Jin grow quickly, one option is to let him drink water from Sea God Lake, and the other is to find some dragon-related things to stimulate him. There are dragon blood and dragon bones auctioned at the auction. You can consider buying some.”

Qian Lei said pitifully, “But everything related to dragons is very expensive!”

Lan Mengqin pursed her lips. “Cheapskate, are you dumb? Even an Earth Dragon is so stimulating for that fatty. Try buying some True Dragon blood. Who knows, it might be a strong catalyst that will allow him to grow faster? He is almost one with you. If he grows, wouldn’t it be equivalent to your strength growing?”

Dong Qianqiu said, “You should also learn some battle technique. Fatty Jin’s improvement on you is mainly in terms of strength and defense. We can’t tell yet if he has other means of attack, but how to use your strength is very important. If you use it well, I feel that when you fuse with it, you will have a combat power equivalent to a four-ring defense-type soul master.”

Qian Lei nodded. “This is something I should learn. I’ll ask Teacher to teach me later.”

Lan Mengqin rolled her eyes. “So what if you have a teacher?”

Qian Lei chuckled. “It’s nothing special, but it saves money! When Teacher teaches me, I don’t think I need to spend money.”

Liu Feng glanced at him. “That might not be the case. My teacher still wants me to pay him back for the Velvet Skyreach Chrysanthemum.”

As the six of them spoke, they walked out of the restaurant. They took photos and received the discount card. The kindness of the other party left a deep impression on them.

This meal wasn’t for nothing. Even Lan Xuanyu could clearly feel that his bloodline power had recovered quite a bit. It was clear how nourishing this meal was.

However, the price of this meal was extremely terrifying, exceeding 1.5 million federal coins.

One must know that this price was enough to buy a small house even in Shrek City. Of course, whether or not they had the qualifications to buy a house was another matter.

The six people arrived at the familiar Shrek Auction House once again.

They were already regulars here and Shrek Auction House had become the place they visited the most during the weekends. It was relaxing and also a form of learning.

Ever since Tang Yuge reminded them, they started learning how to recognize all sorts of Heaven and Earth treasures. And at the auction, even if they didn’t bid, they could still see many items that were auctioned and compare with what they learned. During this period of time, they knew way more Heaven and Earth treasures than before and gradually understood which could be useful to them.

Furthermore, they liked the VIP feeling at Shrek Auction House.

The moment they entered the auction hall, the six of them felt that the atmosphere became different. Almost everyone who was participating in the auction would look at them and whisper.

“Ah! It’s these kids, right? They were the ones competing today. The Shrek Academy’s first years from the Outer Court who had defeated the third years’ strongest team, skipping two whole years. They’re really amazing!”

“That’s right, that’s right. It’s them. Also, they seem to come to the auction house quite often and even bid for some things. It seems like the things bought at the auction house have greatly increased their strength!”

“Of course, this place is filled with treasures.”

The live broadcast to the entire federation made Lan Xuanyu and his team’s reputation soar, and they were easily recognized. Listening to the discussions around them, the six of them felt like they were floating.

They arrived at Shrek Academy’s exclusive area and had just sat down when a person walked towards them.

“Hello, junior brother.”

Lan Xuanyu raised his head and immediately recognized that the person who came over to greet him was the senior who had bidden for the rainbow gem. He should be a fifth or sixth year.

“Hello, senior. What’s the matter?” Lan Xuanyu asked politely.

“I’m fine, I’m fine. It’s just that I’m really sorry for trying to snatch things from you last time. Don’t take it to heart.” The senior chuckled.
