Celestial Beast Taming

Chapter 266: Chapter 166: What Do You Mean We Have the Head Start!?

The boundless rosy mist and the lotus pond merged into one as a purple, auspicious dragon meandered above it.

The tradition of holding the Dragon Soaring Association in Longya City had continued for over a thousand years.

Yet in all those years, no Dragon Carp that could generate such an Anomaly had ever appeared at the Dragon Soaring Association.

Even the Dragon Carp raised in the Jade Belt River, which encircled the Royal Court in the Royal Capital, were likely inferior to this one.

At this point, no one doubted that this Dragon Carp had the ability to cross the ninth Dragon Gate.

Wen Tao took a deep breath, his gaze toward Zhong Yi filled with amazement, envy, and joy.

Guo Xing didn’t know Zhong Yi’s identity, but Wen Tao was well aware of it.

Every Celestial Destiny Seeker was born with great fortune. Being able to awaken an Order Beast and receive the favor of a Rule Authority was, in itself, a stroke of tremendous luck.

But Zhong Yi’s fortune was just too incredible!

’To think a casually chosen Dragon Carp could actually put on such a performance.’

Wen Tao was certain that Zhong Yi had most likely fed this Dragon Carp some Drunken Dragon Jade. However, aside from the Drunken Dragon Jade, Zhong Yi probably hadn’t done much else to raise it. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have arrived at Wen Tao’s cultivation room so quickly.

Wen Tao could only attribute the Dragon Carp’s performance to Zhong Yi’s immense fortune.

When Zhong Yi had previously said he could claim the Dragon Soaring Association’s rewards, Wen Tao had thought he was joking.

’Perhaps something as difficult as ascending to the heavens for an ordinary person is as simple as drinking water for someone with great fortune.’

Zhong Yi had no idea that Wen Tao was attributing the Crimson Monochromatic Dragon Carp’s ability to cross the ninth Dragon Gate to his own good fortune.

If he had known, Zhong Yi would have wholeheartedly agreed.

The one that created this miracle was the Soul-Controlling Flower that had accompanied him into this world.

For Zhong Yi, being able to form such a codependent relationship with the Soul-Controlling Flower was, in itself, a form of great fortune.

Before long, the Crimson Monochromatic Dragon Carp leaped over the ninth Dragon Gate and entered the final Dragon Pool.

The concentration of Dragon Qi in the final Dragon Pool was even higher than the combined total of the previous nine pools.

Amidst the Anomaly of the soaring purple dragon, a vortex of Dragon Qi remained swirling constantly above the Crimson Monochromatic Dragon Carp.

In Zhong Yi’s opinion, using fifty milliliters of Flowing Soul Soil and twenty-seven pieces of Drunken Dragon Jade to create such an auspicious creature was well worth it.

Of course, the ability to create such an auspicious creature with Flowing Soul Soil and Drunken Dragon Jade was inextricably linked to the Crimson Monochromatic Dragon Carp’s own Talent.

”Brother Tao, see? The Dragon Blood Rose is as good as ours.”

”When the time comes, I’ll arrange for a Creator worthy of this Dragon Blood Rose to cultivate it.”

”In the future, if you have any Dragon Species Guardian Beasts whose Dragon Breath you want to strengthen, just let me know.”

Ever since accepting the Drunken Dragon Jade from Zhong Yi last time, Wen Tao hadn’t planned on being polite with him anymore.

”Xiaoyi, I’ll thank you in advance then!”

”After I strengthen the Biluo Spring Dragon’s Dragon Breath, it’ll be time to consider having it advance to the Immortal Tier.”

”Those few Dragon Carp that have crossed the seventh Dragon Gate probably have the potential to cross the ninth one too.”

”But no matter what, these prizes are ours!”

”Even if many Dragon Carp cross the ninth Dragon Gate in this Dragon Soaring Association, we’ll only need to provide the Federation Coins.”

”Xiaoyi, I can’t just keep taking your things for free. If I always take things without giving back, I’ll be too embarrassed to ask you for help in the future.”

”Let me cover the Alliance Coins needed to buy out the prizes later.”

Hearing Wen Tao say this, Zhong Yi didn’t refuse his kind offer.

A good relationship indeed required mutual benefit.

If one party simply took from the other for a long time, the relationship would very likely sour.

Similarly, when Zhong Yi had previously accepted gifts from Wen Tao and Lin Zhuo, he had always found opportunities to repay them.

”In that case, I’ll have to trouble you, Brother Tao. Once we get the prizes we’re due, let’s leave.”

”We still have to go to Master Tao En’s place tonight.”

Upon hearing this, Wen Tao stood up directly.

”Xiaoyi, the Dragon Soaring Association doesn’t end until midnight tonight.”

”The Longya City officials won’t dare to withhold our prizes. We can just leave now.”

”Anyway, after seeing the Anomaly from your Dragon Carp, there’s no fun in watching the others cross the Dragon Gate anymore.”

”But before we go, you absolutely have to take the Dragon Carp you raised with you. It’ll save us some unnecessary trouble.”

”Old Guo, Longya City is still your territory for now. Go and help bring Xiaoyi’s Dragon Carp over.”

”We won’t agree to anyone trying to buy the prizes with Federation Coins.”

”If someone wants to trade resources of an equivalent tier, you can bring them over and let Xiaoyi make the decision.”

Wen Tao had already anticipated that many factions would try to find the prize winners off-stage to trade for the Panlong Jade Willow and the Dragon Blood Rose.

As for the two Main Dragon’s Dragon Crystals, they were nothing compared to the Panlong Jade Willow and the Dragon Blood Rose.

After Guo Xing left, Wen Tao and Zhong Yi waited for a long while, but he didn’t return.

Both of them were a bit puzzled, silently wondering what could be holding Guo Xing up.

After waiting for another long while, Guo Xing finally returned to the stands.

However, when Guo Xing came back, Ju Jiasu was unexpectedly with him.

Upon seeing Ju Jiasu, Wen Tao, Zhong Yi, Cui Heng, and even Sun Yushi all frowned.

Guo Xing said with a hint of resignation,

”She insisted on coming over to discuss the ownership of the final rewards.”

After speaking, Guo Xing spread his hands. He really despised Ju Jiasu.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gotten into a verbal spat with her at the entrance to Waking Dragon Creek Valley.
