Chapter 102: Dragon King

The silver figure walking from afar was Wang Xiao. With an unfriendly expression, he said, “You want me to fight this fish of yours? Now that I have reached Foundation Establishment, even if you all came at me together, I would feel like I’m bullying the weak. Did you spend three years in seclusion just to raise this fish?”

As Wang Xiao’s words fell, the scene erupted into an uproar. Wang Xiao could be said to be the most famous among this year’s new students, especially after stepping into the Foundation Establishment Stage and defeating many older students at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage. His Heavenly God Body had reached Minor Achievement, showing infinite dominance.

Previously, there might have been debates over who was stronger between Wang Xiao and Lin Jing, but later, as Wang Xiao reached Foundation Establishment and Lin Jing remained in seclusion, people stopped discussing it.

Everyone only now realized that Wang Xiao had invited Lin Jing to battle many times, but Lin Jing had remained in seclusion and refused to see him.

Wang Xiao himself was also very angry. Ever since he first fell into a disadvantage at Lin Jing’s hands, he had cultivated diligently.

After his Spell Realm improved, he challenged Lin Jing many times, but Lin Jing always brushed him off, claiming to be busy, until later when he had to Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment due to an Opportunity. “Just suppress your Realm to the Qi Refining Tenth Layer and fight it; wouldn’t that work?” Lin Jing said casually.

This Heavenly God Body’s brow twitched; it was actually a good idea. Controlling his cultivation at the Qi Refining Tenth Layer to fight the Qi Refining Tenth Layer Lin Jing would count as making up for the regret of that year.

“It’s a deal, then. You and this Dragon Carp will fight together.” He took a few steps forward, ascended into the air, and landed on the arena.

He sealed his own Divine Sense, locked most of his True Essence within his Spirit Lake, and then distributed True Qi at the Qi Refining Tenth Layer Peak state throughout his body.

Boom!

The Aura of the Qi Refining Tenth Layer fully erupted, and divine light swirled around Wang Xiao. Everyone took a deep breath. They thought it was just a practice match for Lin Jing’s new pet, but who knew it would evolve into a battle between Lin Jing and the Heavenly God Body!

Now—there’s a good show to watch.

Many candidates quickly sent transmissions to inform their friends who hadn’t arrived at the scene. Just then, within Wang Xiao’s surging True Qi, a Heavenly God Phantom appeared, its prestige turning into a physical silver light that struck directly at the Dragon Carp.

“Heavenly God Might!”

This light was like the first appearance of divine light. Dust and stones within the arena floated up. Among the geniuses outside the arena, some were so shaken just by seeing the divine light that their minds trembled and their whole bodies became unable to move.

“Is this the Qi Refining Tenth Layer?” Many people had never fought against Wang Xiao at the Qi Refining Tenth Layer and only felt that the prestige of this Heavenly God Body was so terrifying and difficult to resist.

They now understood a little why the Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivator Yuan Jing had lost back then.

A God Body is invincible!

“This prestige is not something a Qi Training Ninth Layer or even an ordinary Foundation Establishment can withstand. Lin Jing is also at the Qi Refining Tenth Layer; I wonder if he can withstand this prestige for his Pet Beast!”

The students’ gazes shifted, but Lin Jing, the Beast Master, didn’t seem to have any intention of helping his Pet Beast. He just smiled faintly and said, “Stop testing. It’s just intimidation—it won’t scare it.”

The God Body is fat; let’s cut a piece of meat first!

“Roar—!” On the arena, the Dragon Carp glanced at the divine light, its mouth slightly opening.

A terrifying Dragon Roar erupted from its mouth. Its Bloodline boiled, and a similar Bloodline prestige spread out. This Dragon Roar was like the roar of the king of a hundred beasts, full of deterrent power. As the sound waves swept past, with a “bang,” the divine light shattered, yet the Dragon Roar continued!

It reached Wang Xiao’s ears, and his expression changed slightly. He blocked with both arms and was sent flying back several meters, only stopping when he was forced to the edge of the arena.

“Hmm?” Seeing the prestige of his Heavenly God Body actually falling into a disadvantage, he showed a look of incomprehension. In the next second, the Dragon Carp also into a combat state, floating up with the help of the massive Yao power in its body, staring at Wang Xiao with a ferocious gaze.

Boom!

The Dragon Carp disappeared and reappeared, its tail already sweeping toward Wang Xiao.

Bang!

Wang Xiao held the Star Blade and blocked the tail sweep. The blade’s body trembled, and a violent surge of spiritual energy scattered from the point of collision, turning into a fierce wind that blew toward the spectators. Wang Xiao stared into the Dragon Carp’s eyes, and his heart sank.

In the next second, the Physical Body power erupted by the Dragon Carp actually surpassed the Heavenly God Body, instantly slapping Wang Xiao away and smashing him into the center of the arena.

This scene was truly unbelievable, shocking the spectators. Even if Wang Xiao had suppressed his Realm, he was still a Heavenly God Body. How could he be suppressed by a Dragon Carp at the Qi Training Ninth Layer—unless—

Finally, Wang Xiao realized something.

“Yao King Bloodline! It’s a King-level Bloodline!”

This single sentence instantly stirred up a thousand waves, causing many people’s expressions to change.

“This Dragon Carp—a Yao King Bloodline?!”

A Yao King Bloodline is the successor of a Nascent Soul Yao King. A Yao King can have many descendants, but only the descendant who truly inherits all of its Bloodline Power can be called a Yao King Bloodline. Nurturing a Yao King Bloodline will greatly damage the Yao King’s own Origin Qi and lead to infertility. Therefore, a Yao Beast with a Yao King Bloodline is just like a human Cultivator with a special Physique—extremely powerful. As long as they don’t perish, there is a high probability they will achieve Nascent Soul.

No one expected that Lin Jing’s little carp would actually have a Yao King Bloodline. Lin Jing’s expression was calm. The Dragon Carp’s own Bloodline had returned to its ancestors and was already incredibly powerful. With the Potential Dragon Luck strengthening its Bloodline, it indeed hadn’t reached Foundation Establishment yet, but its Bloodline quality had already been upgraded to King-level, one step ahead of the Pine Leaf Squirrel.

And unlike ordinary King-level Bloodlines, the Dragon Carp was a dragon-blooded Yao Beast. The Dragon Clan is the king of the Yao Race. Its Bloodline…

…was powerful to an inconceivable degree.

“Not bad, take this.” As Lin Jing smiled slightly, a boundless Dragon Scale Fire rose around the Dragon Carp. Dragon-shaped True Qi swam within the flames. As soon as this top-tier beast fire appeared, it instantly formed a Heaven and Earth Furnace, connecting heaven and earth. A hundred layers of fire waves rotated continuously, trapping Wang Xiao, whose expression changed again, inside!

When this furnace appeared, it even caused Zi Ling’er to cry out: “Top-tier beast fire… and a Heaven and Earth Furnace! This is a fire control technique that only a Grade Three Alchemist can master.”

Xu Zhizhi, Yuan Jing, Gao Sheng, and the others looked at Wang Xiao trapped in the furnace and were simply stunned. They never expected this Dragon Carp to be so fierce; this was just a carp that hadn’t even leaped over the Dragon Gate yet!

“Heh heh—” Only a Pine Cone peeping in secret sneered: “You bunch of Righteous Path children, you’re dumbfounded when you encounter a Demonic Path Fish, aren’t you? To catch up in strength to that Ice Gu, this fish has been refining itself like a Medicinal Pill with Ghost Fire day and night, and never misses a meal of Longevity Blood Mosquitoes!”

If one treated the Dragon Carp as an ordinary King Beast cub, they would be gravely mistaken!

Boom! The Heavenly God Body was still powerful. After being trapped for a moment, Wang Xiao still slashed open the furnace. At this time, his silver armor had turned black, but he had no injuries. His state remained matchlessly dominant, his gaze deep.

“Interesting. In these three years, you’ve raised another monster—it seems I underestimated my opponent!” Wang Xiao laughed loudly, his strength increasing rather than decreasing. The divine light on his body grew even brighter, and lightning flickered on the Star Blade. Just as he was about to strike again—

Lin Jing said, “You ask me why I could raise a plain and ordinary Dragon Carp to be so strong? Indeed,”

“relying solely on the cultivation of the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique is certainly not enough. However, if paired with this Rising Dragon Pill I refined, then it’s a different story.”

“A Yao Beast with a powerful Bloodline, when paired with this pill, will have Dragon King potential. As long as you obtain this pill and then find another Yao Beast with a powerful Bloodline—it doesn’t even have to be dragon-blooded—you can quickly have a Dragon King cub as a mount!” Lin Jing took out a red Medicinal Pill.

Wang Xiao:?

“I didn’t ask!” He gripped his battle blade tightly.
