Dragon Tamer

Chapter 494: 496: A Heart of Reverence



Traveling southeast, Zhu Minglang had been rushing on the road these days. The haughty Heavenly Slaughter Dragon was still reluctant to serve as a mount, so Zhu Minglang could only travel in a more common manner.

Before leaving Man City, Zhu Minglang had already crafted two pieces of Dragon Armor.

Utilizing the Serene Fire Liquid and Wind Dandelion Crystal Grains, Zhu Minglang perfectly controlled the forging flame, and the process of strengthening Big Black Tooth’s Meltfire Heavy Armor went quite smoothly.

After all, it was a work of Zhu Heavenly Officer; he left many hidden grooves when casting this Heavy Armor to facilitate Zhu Minglang’s later enhancement and refinement.

The Meltfire Heavy Armor was upgraded to a Monarch Level Holy Product.

How should one describe the strength of a Monarch Level Holy Product Heavy Armor?

It’s roughly like standing amid a group of Dragon Kings and letting them scratch and bite for the duration of burning an incense stick, and this piece of Meltfire Heavy Armor wouldn’t even bear a mark.

Dragon Armor has always been a luxury item, but it’s a luxury that holds value. According to Fan Zhi, it’s like adding a dragon feature to the dragon, and moreover, one whose strength far surpasses all other features.

The Cultivation Base stabilized at Middle-level Monarch Level.

After the advanced enhancement, the scales of the Refining Ash Black Dragon had been significantly strengthened. Its resistance and defense abilities surpassed its own level of cultivation base. With such a piece of Meltfire Heavy Armor, even attacks from Peak King Level creatures would seem like scratching through boots – barely noticeable.

Of course, the malleability of the Refining Ash Black Dragon was also extremely strong, and Zhu Minglang’s ambition for it was not just to withstand an attack from a Peak Monarch Level creature…

He wanted to be like the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon, in a fierce thrashing against many, to fight ten by itself!

The growth of the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon was quite good, and Zhu Minglang could clearly feel its cultivation base was still rising, without getting stuck at the High Rank King Level.

A few evenly matched battles would allow it to easily reach Peak Monarch Level. A high bloodline and rich resources gave rise to a dragon that was truly unique.

It was a bit regrettable that Zhu Minglang failed twice when crafting the Wind British Light Dragon Armor for the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon.

Recalling the time he crafted the Small Holy Clothes for Little White in Miao Kingdom, Zhu Minglang was gradually realizing how important “luck” really was.

Whether Mr. Jinli could bring him good fortune was a complex metaphysical question, but there was one person who definitely had a king’s luck – the Prophet Li Xinghua.

With the casting art back then in Miao Kingdom, the chance of failure was actually very high; yet, that particular forging was successful in one go.

This time when making the light armor for the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon, Zhu Minglang suffered a great loss. Two consecutive forging failures made him grieve not so much for his own skills, which stank, but for those damaged expensive materials.

Especially the Serene Fire Liquid, the number of uses was limited. Zhu Minglang had his own store, but it was bound to run out eventually.

On the third attempt, Zhu Minglang kept muttering his sister-in-law’s name in his mind. Choosing a clear night when the stars shone bright, he finally succeeded in crafting the Wind British Light Dragon Armor. It was a perfect Small Holy Product, and by accident, he embedded a following wind and static fire inscription…

Indeed, no matter the profession, one should always have a heart of reverence. Zhu Minglang deeply understood this truth after this forging experience!

There were losses in the two failures, but fortunately, Zhu Minglang could now bear it. Moreover, with each piece of Dragon Armor, Zhu Minglang learned what Zhu Heavenly Officer taught him: always leave room for reshaping.

Considering his own swift increase in Dragon Cultivation Base, the Dragon Armor also needed to be refined and upgraded. Zhu Minglang did not sew up some of the key parts so that each piece of Dragon Armor sacrificed some of its attributes and strength. However, this could lead to a perfect refinement with better materials in the future.

Having left the Neon Sea heading southeast, it was just as well that the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon was unwilling to serve as a long-distance mount; this allowed Zhu Minglang, while riding on those rented Flying Dragons, to venture into the more perilous locations.

By now, no one should bother telling Zhu Minglang which territory belongs to which demon or what airspace is controlled by ferocious dragons; let alone advise him to take a detour. On the map, from one city to the next, Zhu Minglang flies in a straight line!

Encounter the Demon Race, eradicate the Demon Race; face a Demon Spirit, destroy the Demon Spirit; even if beings that claim mountains as kings or rule over the seas, or holy spirits that have existed for tens of thousands of years appear, Zhu Minglang will likewise annihilate them!

Of course, rampaging through the various deep forests and fierce lands of the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent wasn’t due to Zhu Minglang’s desire to be wild, but rather each dragon needed to battle for progression. Without zig-zagging around, it would be difficult to find worthy opponents!

Indeed, cutting a swathe through uncharted territories proved to be much faster than following the beaten track. Hidden within vast mountains, giant forests, and demon valleys, the number of demons is beyond imagination, and even someone with a cultivation base like Zhu Minglang could still be entangled by some bizarre demons.

Once or twice, Zhu Minglang even had to summon the Sword Spirit Dragon to clear the way, lest both he and the dragon under training fall into crisis.

When passing through the Black God Wood Mountain Range, Zhu Minglang saw the watchful eyes of the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon and ultimately chose to take a detour…

It wasn’t necessary!

If there were beings on the level of Mountain Immortal Ghosts residing within… fleeing would waste a great deal of time.

Though he was forceful and domineering, occasional time management was also essential.

The Flying Dragon was stable; Zhu Minglang sat on its broad back, seriously reading the “Luo Shan Zong’s Thirteen Word Dragon Identifying Secret Technique” that Luo Shaoyan had given him.

At his side, the Nuwa Dragon sat earnestly, leaning close to Zhu Minglang to read together. As Zhu Minglang read aloud, she mimicked him; when Zhu Minglang furrowed his brows in thought, so did she.

“Can you understand what you’re reading?” Zhu Minglang turned and asked the Nuwa Dragon.

The eyes of the Nuwa Dragon were truly beautiful, lively like night amber, just a touch of bright sunlight could make her eyes shimmer with a dreamy luster.

She shook her little head, indicating she hadn’t understood a single word.

Zhu Minglang chuckled wryly.

Fine, it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand; your earnest attitude is definitely not an issue.

The Nuwa Dragon was always happy. Having left the dark Veins of the Earth, she was curious about everything in the world and filled with a sense of novelty. Even if it meant just sitting beside Zhu Minglang all day, feeling the warm spring breeze, she would be content.

The Nuwa Dragon didn’t cultivate.

Her main body’s cultivation base was probably as extensive as the years of the Neon Sea; thus, the effects of Zhu Minglang’s Spiritual Spring Realm were virtually null on her.

She didn’t need to battle to hone her abilities. All she needed was to nourish her fragile soul. As her soul grew stronger, her cultivation level would naturally rise.

Nonetheless, while Zhu Minglang was traversing mountains and valleys, he also tried allowing the Nuwa Dragon to deal with some evil holy spirits, eventually concluding that whether the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon was truly unbeatable at the Monarch Level was debatable, but the Nuwa Dragon was genuinely unbeatable. Her spells… oh, her Immortal Techniques were outrageously incredible!

Anyway, whenever she took action, the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon hardly had a chance to sharpen its claws. Moreover, Zhu Minglang seriously suspected that what he witnessed was just the tip of the iceberg of her Nuwa Spells.
