The moment Lin Jing took out the pill, the new students realized Lin Jing’s intention for coming out of seclusion this time.
Perhaps honing the new pet is a pretense; launching a new product to earn a reputation is the main goal!
"Didn’t ask?" Lin Jing was taken aback, retracted the pill, and said with a smile, "Looks like I misheard."
"But won’t Fellow Daoist Wang buy one? You saw its power!"
Wang Xiao snorted coldly, raised the Star Knife high, and with a rumble, lightning struck down, along the blade, onto the divine body!
His whole body emitted light of thunder and lightning, swirling with a fierce wind.
"Wind and Thunder Flash!" Wang Xiao’s figure flickered and vanished, disappearing from where he stood, the Dragon Carp saw this, its eyes darting about, and with the sound of shattering scales, the Dragon Carp, which had just held the advantage, was instantly smashed towards the distance, creating a long gouge on the ring.
Wang Xiao stood in place, entangled by wind and thunder, his expression grim.
"The Dragon Carp you cultivated is indeed stronger than ordinary royal blood young beasts, but that’s all. Just now it was only because I wasn’t accustomed to the suppressed state of my realm..." Official source is n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
Wang Xiao spoke calmly, but the next second, he raised an eyebrow, only to see the Dragon Carp he had just slashed come back to life and pounce fiercely once more...
"Even those who have personally battled an innate divine body at the tenth level of Qi Cultivation have to admit that the dragon blood demon beast raised by the Dragon Ascending Pill is stronger than ordinary Demon King cubs!" Lin Jing said.
"I didn’t say that!!!" Wang Xiao gripped the battle knife more tightly, his anger rising, he was being sarcastic, not praising!
He disappeared again, though he had fallen behind in ’momentum’ and ’strength’ just now, at this time in ’speed’, he surpassed the Dragon Carp by several levels.
Several fireballs spat out by the Dragon Carp hurtled towards Wang Xiao, who easily dodged them, and in an instant was behind the Dragon Carp again, hammering it dozens of meters away once more.
"Now you understand, right." He walked step by step toward the Dragon Carp, just about to say something when Lin Jing spoke again.
"Everyone, don’t just look at the Dragon Carp being suppressed now, but I reckon that this state of stimulating the body with heavenly thunder, Fellow Daoist Wang cannot maintain for long, and..."
"Annoying." Wang Xiao somewhat regretted accepting the challenge; when just moments ago he was suppressed by the Dragon Carp, Lin Jing was babbling endlessly, and now with explosive power suppressing the Dragon Carp, Lin Jing was still babbling incessantly.
He raised the battle knife, no longer targeting the Dragon Carp as his focus of attack, and instead broke through the arena, slashing toward Lin Jing!
But just at that moment, a moment of inattention caught Wang Xiao off guard, and astonishingly, the Dragon Carp underwent a remarkable transformation, its body was fiercely compressing Dragon Scale Fire outside it, the temperature suddenly soared, becoming wildly violent, shaping into a giant flaming dragon head, crashing towards Wang Xiao.
With his attention all on Lin Jing, one misstep caused Wang Xiao’s abdomen to be indented by the Dragon Carp, his eyes turned white, he spat out saliva, and flew back more than ten meters before stabilizing his stance, clutching his abdomen, his face ugly.
Lin Jing said with a peculiar expression, "And dragon blood demon beasts almost all possess strong physical bodies, even if an equal-level divine body strikes with full force, it cannot suppress it in a short time..."
Although Dragon Carp’s scales were shattered, and it was bleeding all over, it was still leaping about energetically, the most startling part was its terrifying self-healing ability, the wounds closed at an astonishing 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 again.
Lin Jing also showed a regretful expression, saying, "Fellow Daoist Wang’s focus was inadequate, to be influenced by just a few words during the battle..."
This strike, with its immense destructive power, far exceeded Dragon Carp’s previous attacks, undoubtedly having a certain impact on Wang Xiao.
This impact directly broke Wang Xiao’s self-seal, causing him to spit out another mouthful of blood, and his cultivation restored back to the Foundation Establishment Stage, then he gradually eased.
"Compression of Dan Fire... a level three alchemist’s fire control technique!"
Those untrained looked for excitement, while insiders look at the subtleties, such a scene made Zi Ling’Er slightly ponder. Generally speaking, demon beasts have always been crude in spiritual power control, beasts primarily pursue the power of their bloodlines, their moves are bold and grand, without any technique to speak of; how could this Dragon Carp be so unusual?
Zi Ling’Er didn’t know that the Dragon Carp was also helpless, serious folks understood that beasts aren’t adept at controlling power and simply didn’t call for it, making up for weaknesses by avoiding them, thus preventing wasting too much time, but Lin Jing was atypical, coercing it into alchemy.
Slow progress in fire control accomplishment? No problem, given our long lifespan, practicing slowly is fine. While practicing, the Dragon Carp found that maybe it wasn’t that hard.
Wang Xiao looked at the battle knife on the stage, stretched out his hand to call back the knife, burning with rage inside, knowing he was mentally affected by Lin Jing. His eagerness to defeat Lin Jing led to frequent mistakes...
Just as Wang Xiao planned to suppress his realm once more for another battle, unexpectedly, Lin Jing shook his head and decided to quit while ahead.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, this is the Dragon Ascending Pill, capable of granting ordinary demon beasts the powerful bloodline of the Dragon Race. I have cultivated my dragon blood pet beast with this pill and the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique. Let’s call this battle a draw, thank you for your guidance, Brother Wang. This pill, consider it a token of thanks." Lin Jing took out a pill and tossed it to Wang Xiao.
"Are you joking!!!" Wang Xiao caught the pill, not wanting to end it .
However, thinking about how Lin Jing hadn’t even made a move yet, and how much effort it took to deal with a Dragon Carp, weakened his complexion.
This dragon blood carp... how could it be so bizarre, he had faced Demon King cubs before, none of whom were as troublesome as this carp.
[Employing all secret techniques, defeating this carp shouldn’t be difficult, but if Lin Jing joins in, my chances of winning aren’t high. How could Beast Taming be so vexatious in technique.]
He looked at the Dragon Carp on the stage, its gaze shifting between ferocity and daze, took a deep breath, clenched the pill, and turned to leave, knowing continuing would only make things look worse.
[I need to cultivate my own demon pet too!]
But Wang Xiao didn’t know that he considered himself capable of defeating the Dragon Carp, yet the current state of the Dragon Carp was only the surface level of its combat strength, such as the Netherworld Ghost Fire and other demon cultivator methods, which the Dragon Carp hadn’t even used.
After Wang Xiao left, Lin Jing understood that he had achieved most of his purpose.
The story of Lin Jing from Beast Taming Sect using the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique and special pills to cultivate Dragon Blood demon beasts to fight to a draw with a divine body would soon spread.
He smiled slightly, looking at the silent expressions of the many talents offstage, and said, "Is there anyone else who would be willing to provide guidance?"
"If like what Fellow Daoist Wang did, by suppressing to the same level and battling or defeating my pet beast, you’ll also receive a Dragon Ascending Pill as a gift."
Everyone remained silent, a draw? What could they use to fight to a draw with a carp goblin that could contend with a divine body of the same level?
Suddenly, someone in the audience spoke up, "I wonder what the sell price for that Dragon Ascending Pill is. If I were to buy some, could I really cultivate a dragon pet as powerful as your Dragon Carp?!"
