Dragon Tamer

As he exited the mountain temple, Zhu Minglang took notice of the giant crater left in the wake of the Tyrant Blood Evil Dragon’s rampage.

King of Silvery Flame Wu Xiao.

This was a God and Mortal of utmost strength; Minglang wasn’t even sure of his cultivation base. Even in the Imperial City, this guy must be a big shot.

After leaving the Yan Clan’s territory, Zhu Minglang returned to Man City.

He checked out the Phoenix Clan spiritual objects being offered at the auction, some of which were quite tantalizing to Zhu Minglang, but they were not yet enough to trade for the Soul Bead of the Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor from his hand.

Since there was still plenty of time, Zhu Minglang wasn’t in a hurry, so he went back to the Dragon Taming High Court and continued his training as a Dragon Shepherd.

…

In accordance with Mr. Jinli’s request, Zhu Minglang decided to visit Qin City to pay a visit to the Zhu Gate Small Inner Court there and prepare dragon armors for Qing Zhuo and Hei Ya ahead of time.

Qin City was a great distance from Man City. After some coercion and temptation, the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon still refused to serve as his steed, so Zhu Minglang had no choice but to ride Gale Flying Dragons from various coastal city-states and travel along the coastline to Qin City.

Qin City was also one of Neon Sea’s most famous independent cities, belonging to no nation but rivaling any country in strength, and was always presided over by powerful forces.

It took Zhu Minglang four days and four nights to reach Qin City.

Bearing in mind the distance, Zhu Minglang decided he might as well just settle in the Dragon Taming High Court.

On the journey, Zhu Minglang wasn’t idle. Whenever he saw groups of Demon Race creatures on wetland shallows, he had Hei Ya and Qing Zhuo eliminate them, earning the gratitude of many merchants and travelers.

Acts of kindness were still somewhat useful in this mystical world, especially for a Casting Master, who needs to build up trust.

Nearing Qin City, a torrential downpour began, and the Gale Flying Dragon couldn’t maintain balance in the raging storm.

With only a few hundred miles left to Qin City, Zhu Minglang was forced to seek shelter for the Gale Flying Dragon from the violent storm sweeping in from the sea.

From Man City to Qin City, there were Flying Dragon rental areas along the way. By paying a deposit, one could ride these well-tamed dragons that could safely and efficiently transport people to their destination.

As a King-Level Dragon Shepherd, having to rely on rental flying dragons for travel was somewhat sad. Little Qingzhuo wouldn’t have the strength and stamina to carry him in flight until it reached adulthood.

…

The Gale Flying Dragon landed in a carved-out cave in a sea cliff, which appeared to be the den of Sea Hawk Monster Beasts, but they were nowhere to be seen, probably having moved to a more comfortable locale.

Gazing out to sea, the tide rolled like mighty surging beasts, continuously slamming into the coastal cliffs. The waves could instantly surge to twenty or thirty meters high, a spectacle both magnificent and terrifying!

Zhu Minglang lit a fire, waiting for the raging winds to pass. In his boredeom, he took out the Sea-calming Bell.

“This thing, is it really that impressive?” Zhu Minglang muttered to himself with some doubt.

Why not give it a try? The ocean storm was raging anyway, and even if its power was exaggerated, it should be obscured by the grandeur of the storm.

Zhu Minglang walked to the edge of the cliff cave. Just one more step forward and the sharp sea wind would whisk anyone away.

“`

He tried shaking the Sea-calming Bell, and there indeed seemed to be a hard bell clapper inside, colliding with the surrounding iron-like fruit skin to produce sound.

However, the bell clapper inside remained immobile, and the sound produced from the shaking was extremely dull, not at all like it contained any magic power.

“Is there something wrong with the way I’m using it?” Zhu Minglang pondered for a moment.

He then attempted to infuse his spiritual power into the Sea-calming Bell.

Soon, the cracks on the bell’s peel began to glow, and faint luminance seeped out from the Sea-calming Bell.

“As expected, it requires spiritual power to be used. Let me see your might.”

With joy in his heart, Zhu Minglang began to infuse more spiritual power and started to shake this special bell fruit!

With this motion, the core inside struck the surroundings, emitting a deep and heavy bell sound, ancient and powerful, nothing like a small bell, but more like a large, ancient bronze bell!

The sound of the Sea-calming Bell spread around the sea cliffs; the cliffs themselves were arc-shaped, and as the Sea-calming Bell vibrated, the ancient bell tones spread through the storm!

“DONG~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~”

A bell the size of a fist, yet at this moment, it resonated throughout the sea and sky, as if bringing a strange tremor from another world.

The appalling sound of the bell was invisible, but at that moment, Zhu Minglang saw an immense wave clearing everything in its path.

The ferocious winds ceased due to the spread of the powerful bell sound, and the surging waves stilled at the ancient bell tones, even the thick storm clouds that spanned ten thousand meters in the sky dispersed!

Dark skies and tempest-ravaged vast lands, the chaotic rain endless in sight, but just because of the ringing of the bell, all returned to tranquility!

Zhu Minglang could hardly believe the scene before his eyes.

But before he could react, suddenly, a terrifyingly huge wave surged up from the still sea surface!!

The colossal wave seemed like a deep-sea demon lurking beneath, breaking through the bounds of this world without warning, then rolling in a direction that stretched across Zhu Minglang’s field of vision!

The vast sea seemed unable to bear the burden, emitting loud noises, as waves comparable to tsunamis collided irregularly, surging in all directions.

The black giant wave continued to wreak havoc as Zhu Minglang saw it rush toward another more spectacular range of sea cliffs. That continuous cliff was at least thirty miles long, majestic and sturdy, having withstood the pounding of the waves for over a hundred years without collapsing.

But when the black giant wave struck, the cliffs gave way as if breaching a dike, the high slopes collapsed abruptly, and the cliffs were engulfed by the huge wave, even a forest further inland broke apart!!!

The vast cliff coastline, which would require hundreds or even thousands of years to erode a gap from the waves, now due to this summoned black giant wave, was directly struck into a recessed area!

Countless collapsed boulders, ruins of cliffs protruding, those formidable cliffs on either side of the breach, although not collapsing further, were covered in alarming cracks, giving the feeling that a little more force might continue to drag down other areas!

Within a sea cliff cave, a person stood at the entrance, staring dumbfounded at the cliffs across tens of miles away!!

Is this the Voodoo Tide? It’s truly a tsunami disaster; if it rolls over a city, how many could survive?

Zhu Minglang himself had not expected that the small Sea-calming Bell could possess such a terrifying power to summon tides, a magic artifact indeed!!
