Chapter 103: Gifting the Pill

“Who asked you?!”

The moment Lin Jing took out the Medicinal Pill, the freshmen understood his intention for ending his seclusion this time.

Perhaps training a new pet was a pretense, and the main goal was to launch a new product to gain fame!

“No one asked?” Lin Jing paused, retracted the Medicinal Pill, and smiled. “It seems I misheard.”

“But won’t Fellow Daoist Wang buy one? You’ve seen its power!”

Wang Xiao snorted coldly and raised the Star Blade high. With a boom, heavenly thunder descended, striking the Heavenly God Body along the war blade!

Rays of lightning shot out from his entire body, and wild winds swirled around him.

“Wind-Thunder Flash!” Wang Xiao’s figure flickered and vanished from the spot. Seeing this, the Dragon Carp’s eyes darted around. Following the sound of shattering scales, the Dragon Carp, which had just held the advantage, was instantly sent flying into the distance, carving a long trench into the arena.

Wang Xiao stood in place, surrounded by wind and thunder, his expression cold and stern.

“The strength of the Dragon Carp you’ve raised is indeed greater than an ordinary King-blooded Young Beast, but that’s all. It’s nothing more than this. Just now, I simply hadn’t adapted to a body with its Realm suppressed—”

Wang Xiao spoke calmly. However, in the next second, his eyebrows twitched as he saw the Dragon Carp, which had just been struck by his blade, actually flopping back up full of vigor— “Even an Innate Heavenly God Body at the Qi Refining Tenth Layer, after personally engaging in combat, has to admit that a Dragon Blood Demon Beast raised with the Rising Dragon Pill is stronger than an ordinary Young Demon King!” Lin Jing said.

“I didn’t say that!!!” Wang Xiao gripped his war blade even tighter, his anger flaring. He was mocking, not praising!

His figure vanished again. Although he had fallen behind in ‘might’ and ‘power’ just now, at this moment, in terms of’speed,’ he surpassed the Dragon Carp by several levels.

Pffft pffft pffft pffft!

Several fireballs spat out by the Dragon Carp toward Wang Xiao were all easily dodged by him. In an instant, Wang Xiao arrived behind the Dragon Carp again and once more sent it flying dozens of meters away.

“You understand now, don’t you?” He walked toward the Dragon Carp step by step. Just as he was about to say something, Lin Jing spoke again.

“Everyone, don’t look at how the Dragon Carp is being suppressed now. I imagine Fellow Daoist Wang will find it difficult to maintain this state of stimulating the physical body with heavenly thunder for long, whereas—”

“Noisy.” Wang Xiao somewhat regretted accepting the challenge. When he was suppressed by the Dragon Carp earlier, Lin Jing’s mouth wouldn’t stop chattering, and now that he had unleashed his power and suppressed the Dragon Carp, Lin Jing still wouldn’t stop chattering.

Holding his war blade, he no longer targeted the Dragon Carp. Instead, he shattered the arena floor and slashed toward Lin Jing!

*Whoosh—* But just at this moment, the distracted Wang Xiao failed to notice for a second that an astonishing change had occurred on the Dragon Carp’s body. The Dragon Scale Fire compressed frantically outside its body, the temperature rising abruptly and becoming incredibly violent. It shaped itself into a massive flaming dragon head and crashed toward Wang Xiao with a boom.

Bang!

Wang Xiao’s attention was entirely on Lin Jing. Due to his negligence, his abdomen was dented by the Dragon Carp’s impact. His eyes turned white, he spat out saliva, and he flew back more than ten meters before stabilizing himself. Clutching his abdomen, his expression was unsightly.

Lin Jing said with a strange expression, “And Dragon Blood Demon Beasts almost all possess powerful physical bodies. Even if a Heavenly God Body of the same level goes all out, they cannot suppress them in a short time—”

Although the Dragon Carp’s scales were shattered and blood flowed from its entire body, it was still flopping about full of vigor. Most shocking was that its self-healing ability was terrifying; the wounds were actually healing at an exaggerated speed—

“Pfft.” Wang Xiao spat out a mouthful of blood.

Wang Xiao was sent flying by the Dragon Carp, and the scene fell into a brief silence once more.

Lin Jing also showed a regretful expression, saying, “Fellow Daoist Wang’s focus is insufficient; to think your combat was affected by just a few words.”

This strike just now had immense destructive power, far exceeding the Dragon Carp’s previous attacks, and undoubtedly had a certain impact on Wang Xiao.

This impact directly broke Wang Xiao’s self-Seal. He spat out another mouthful of blood afterward, and his cultivation only stabilized after returning to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

“Pill Fire Compression—yet another fire control technique that only a Rank Three Alchemist can master!”

Laymen watch the fun while experts watch the technique. Such a scene made Zi Ling’er ponder slightly. Generally speaking, Yao Beasts have always been incredibly crude in terms of spiritual energy control. Beasts basically only pursue the strength of their Bloodline, and their Moves are broad and simple, lacking any technique. Why was this Dragon Carp so unusual?

What Zi Ling’er didn’t know was that the Dragon Carp also had no choice. A normal person, knowing that Yao Beasts are not good at controlling power, would simply not force them, playing to their strengths and avoiding their weaknesses to save time. But Lin Jing, of all people, was not acting like a decent person, forcing it to perform Alchemy with him.

Fire control attainment improving slowly? No matter. Since they had long lifespans anyway, they could just practice slowly. As it practiced, the Dragon Carp found that it didn’t seem that difficult after all.

“Again!!!”

Wang Xiao looked at the war blade on the arena, reached out his hand, and summoned it back. His heart was burning with rage. He knew his mindset had been affected by Lin Jing. He wanted to defeat Lin Jing too much, leading to frequent mistakes—

Just as Wang Xiao intended to suppress his Realm again for another fight, Lin Jing shook his head, deciding to quit while he was ahead.

“Fellow Daoist Wang, this is the Rising Dragon Pill, which can bestow a powerful Dragon Clan Bloodline upon ordinary Yao Beasts. It was with this pill and the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique that I raised this Dragon-blooded Pet Beast. Let’s end this fight as a draw. Thank you for the guidance, Brother Wang. Take this pill as a token of my gratitude.” Lin Jing took out a pill and threw it to Wang Xiao.

“Are you joking?!” Wang Xiao caught the pill, not wanting to end it like this.

However, the moment Wang Xiao thought about how Lin Jing hadn’t even made a Move yet while he himself had struggled so much against just a Dragon Carp, his expression darkened.

This Dragon-blooded Dragon Carp—why was it so strange? It wasn’t as if he had never fought against Young Demon Kings before, but none had been as troublesome as this Dragon Carp.

【Even if I use all my secret techniques, it wouldn’t be hard to defeat this Dragon Carp. But if Lin Jing also makes a Move, my chances of winning aren’t high. How can Beast Taming techniques be so disgusting?】

He looked at the Dragon Carp on the arena, whose gaze shifted between ferocity and dullness. He took a deep breath, gripped the pill, and turned to leave, knowing that persisting further would only make things look worse.

【I want to raise a demon pet too!】

What Wang Xiao didn’t know, however, was that while he believed he could defeat the Dragon Carp, the Dragon Carp was currently only showing its surface combat power.

The Dragon Carp hadn’t used the Netherworld Ghost Fire or other Demonic Cultivation methods at all.

After Wang Xiao left, Lin Jing knew that his goal had been mostly achieved.

The matter of Lin Jing from the Beast Taming Sect using the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique and special pills to raise a Dragon Blood Demon Beast that fought a Heavenly God Body to a draw single-handedly would surely spread quickly.

He smiled slightly and looked at the silent geniuses below the stage. “Are there any other Fellow Daoists willing to offer guidance?”

“If, like Fellow Daoist Wang, you suppress yourselves to the same level and fight my Pet Beast to a draw or defeat it, I will also gift a Rising Dragon Pill.”

The crowd remained silent. A draw? Against a Carp Spirit that could contend with a same-level Heavenly God Body, what did they have to achieve a draw with?

Below the stage, someone suddenly spoke up, “I wonder how much this Rising Dragon Pill of yours costs. If I buy some, can I really raise a powerful Dragon Pet like your Dragon Carp?!”
