The Strongest Dragon in the Era of Beast Taming

A tall and thin teacher with black-framed glasses spoke cautiously.

Due to the intense rivalry and shared lineage among the Flowery Kingdom’s Big Five, this teacher from Rosewood College was also able to hold the position of a Level V Associate Professor in the Beastmaster Department at Peony College.

In the eyes of the tall and thin teacher, his alma mater would definitely not waste a precious Universe Six-turns Golden Elixir just to refresh some so-called historical Arcane Star record.

“Are you trying to teach me how to do my job?”

Jerald Goldsmith gave the tall and thin teacher a cold glance. The legendary Domination emanating from him made the teacher subconsciously shut his mouth and choose silence.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly turned icy.

“The school’s resource vault still holds a Universe Six-turns Golden Elixir. Since Rosewood College lacks martial integrity and plans to use elixirs for outside help to snipe our goal of ten consecutive championships, we can do the same.”

“Issue the command, the student ranked first on the leaderboard before the national competition starts will have the privilege to use Pet Resources and credits to exchange for a Universe Six-turns Golden Elixir.”

“Understood,” the tall and thin teacher was no fool, instantly grasping the meaning behind Principal Goldsmith’s words.

After all, within Peony College, who doesn’t know that the top student, Rudolf Sherwood, is Principal Goldsmith’s own nephew. Whether or not the elixir is taken after receiving it is known only to the person who takes it.

Besides, Rudolf Sherwood is not David Jones. With his strength at the apex of Level V, a mere step away from advancing to the King of Class VI, he fundamentally has no need for a Universe Six-turns Golden Elixir. After all the trouble, whose hands the Golden Elixir will end up in is still uncertain.

…

Elsewhere, at Phoenix College, in the cultivation room.

Bella Wanton was sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed, tuning her essence, breath, and spirit to their peak, as if at any moment she could break through to the King of Class VI.

In front of her on the table was a pile of David Jones’s information.

“It’s a pity that it’s still not quite perfect.”

Bella Wanton opened her eyes, a trace of helplessness within them.

For a genius from a prominent family, advancing to King of Class VI is quite a simple task, but it’s also akin to reaching for the heavens.

This might seem contradictory, but it isn’t.

Family members without dreams of greatness could rapidly break through their barriers and ascend to King with the help of elixirs, but a talent like her, endowed with legendary expectations, must cultivate painstakingly until her level is flawlessly complete to avoid an unstable foundation, thus increasing her hopes of attaining legend.

“Too fast!” Bella Wanton picked up David Jones’s information and glanced at it, feeling as if she was dreaming.

Karen Simpson, who was attending her, spoke softly, “The lord has sent a Universe One-turn Golden Elixir, hoping that you can demonstrate the glory of the Wanton family and Phoenix College at the national competition.”

Bella Wanton pursed her lips, her voice clear and cold, “Dan Zhen, do you also think that I’m not as good as David Jones like father does?”

Karen Simpson replied without hesitation, “In terms of talent, there is no man in this world who can compare with you, Miss.”

Hearing this, Bella Wanton smiled, turned her head towards Karen Simpson, “Present the Golden Elixir to me.”

Taking a ordinary elixir might damage one’s foundation, but a Universe Golden Elixir, which a Trainer can only consume once in their lifetime, is one of the rare exceptions.

(Note: Different turns of Universe Golden Elixir can be taken together.)

“I have a premonition that this year’s national competition will be the most intense in over a century!” Bella Wanton’s beautiful eyes stared at the shining Golden Elixir in her palm, a look of expectation in her eyes.

Karen Simpson nodded in deep agreement.

Times create heroes. In the past national competitions, even the strongest to appear were only Master Trainers. This year, due to the news of David Jones breaking through to the King, everyone has been stirred up.

Moreover, with Mysterious Beasts gradually reawakening and the Flowery Kingdom’s Trainer Guild urgently needing new generations to stand out, the unwilling to show weakness Big Five of the Flowery Kingdom are sure to spend a great cost to push out their own King Trainers.

…

On the other side, unaware of the huge turmoil he had caused within the Flowery Kingdom’s Big Five, David Jones had just stepped through the grand entrance of the Rosewood Trainer Guild in Rosewood City.

The first thing that caught his eye was the Rosewood Divine Wood adorning the first-floor hall, with its life-like appearance, and the Five Elements Treasure Fungus, which resembled a five-colored canopy.

This Rosewood Divine Wood that stood no more than ten meters tall was clearly a graft from the ancestral tree at Rosewood College. It not only emitted an aura that was less majestic, but its grade was also merely a Level VII Epic.

David gave it a cursory glance before his gaze shifted to the Five Elements Treasure Fungus, which he had never seen before.

[Five Elements Treasure Fungus]: A Class VIII Legendary resource of the mini-Five Elements. It contains the essences of Structural Wood, Sun Fire, Mountain Earth, Axe Metal, and River Water. Trainers who consume it can create a Five Elements Heavenly Body, extending their lifespan by eight hundred years and increasing their chance of breaking through to Legend by two percent.

Beasts who consume it can ignite the Five Elements Heavenly Flame to purify their bloodlines and observe the rules of the Five Elements, thereby reaching the level of a Class VIII Emperor.

“Hiss.” David couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.

Was the Rosewood Trainer Guild showing off their wealth?

Such an elixir treasure was just displayed in the hall for all to see, were they not afraid that someone would covet it?

After his surprise, a thought suddenly popped into David’s mind.

He wondered if Lolo, after consuming this Five Elements Treasure Fungus, could control the Five Elements and advance to a Class VIII Emperor.

“Chirp chirp.” (I probably can’t do it.)

The crisp sound rang in David’s mind.

“Chirp chirp!” (But Goldy would be very suitable!)

Lolo suggested.

“Goldy?”

David stroked his chin, suddenly feeling that this matter had some potential, but the Five Elements Treasure Fungus in front of him was obviously a prized item not for sale by the Trainer Guild, one that even his teacher might not be able to obtain.

“Is this your first time at the Rosewood Trainer Guild?”

A sophisticated woman with smoothly flowing hair and gorgeous earrings, holding a Titanium Ragdoll in her arms, struck up a conversation.

David nodded slightly and pulled down the brim of his hat, revealing an unmistakable air of aloofness.

Seeing this, Tracy Harvey let out a gentle laugh, her elegance enhanced by the fluffy doll in her arms and her azure-blue dress.

“The Beast Taming Building of Rosewood occupies a large area and has a complex layout. It’s easy for newcomers to get lost even using smartphone navigation. The Qualification Hall is on the ninth floor in Area L. Do you need me to show you the way?”

Tracy Harvey wasn’t perturbed by David’s coldness. Instead, she flashed a toothy smile.

“How do you know I was going to the Qualification Hall?”

David looked up at the woman, whom he found somewhat familiar, and scrutinized her seriously.

“Although you’re trying your best to conceal your essence, breath, and spirit, to the eyes of the powerful, your presence is as conspicuous as a firefly in the dark, bright and hard to overlook,” Tracy said with a light laugh. “Besides, my sister Audrey Harvey often mentions you. By our relationship, having you call me sister or Miss Tracy shouldn’t be too presumptuous.”

“Sister?”

David’s eyes widened; his senior sister had never mentioned having a sister.

Tracy’s Star Ring glinted between her fingers, and a simple jade box suddenly materialized in her hand.

“This is a gift from my sister for our first meeting.”
