The Strongest Dragon in the Era of Beast Taming

Chapter 536: Chapter 530: Awakening and Advancement

The crescent moon was rising, and the bright moonlight spilled onto the ground.

Inside the boudoir with a faint fragrance, David Jones had a serious expression.

“Are you ready?”

“Ready!” Rossetti Lindwood nodded earnestly.

Born in the countryside, she still didn’t know how precious the Arcane Star was since she had no knowledge of cultivation.

“Very well, close your eyes and focus, visualize the energy between heaven and earth according to the Basic Calm Mind I taught you. Remember, every person can only awaken their Arcane Star three times in their life, and if they fail all three times, there will be no more chances to awaken their Arcane Star. This is a rare opportunity, you must not slack off.” David Jones reminded her.

Rossetti understood!

Rossetti sat cross-legged, emptied her mind, and guided herself according to the Calm Mind technique.

“Yi!” (Go for it!)

At this time, Rainbow, who had never seen the Arcane Star awakening ceremony, was watching the spectacle with her little friends at the side.

The Gluttonous Beast went even further and turned on the monitoring system to record this rare moment.

David Jones raised his finger to his lips, signaling the pets to be quiet, and then took out the Heaven-given Star Stone, which was essential for awakening the Arcane Star, from the Star Ring.

The Heaven-given Star Stone was a treasure refined by the Trainer Guild with the Five Elements. It could resonate with the Arcane Star hidden deep within human consciousness, thereby transforming the intangible into tangible and completely activating the Arcane Star.

In the Neolithic Period, the Heaven-given Star Stone was a treasure acquired only by family clans. However, with the establishment of the Star Calendar, in order to strengthen national power, a large number of Beast Taming Geniuses were needed, so the method of making Heaven-given Star Stones gradually spread to the public, causing their value to plummet. Even David Jones had prepared several pieces in his Star Ring for emergencies.

Looking at the meditating Rossetti, David Jones flicked his finger, and the Heaven-given Star Stone turned into a stream of light and disappeared into her forehead.

With the disappearance of the Heaven-given Star Stone, Rossetti’s calm face suddenly shook, and the surrounding energy of heaven and earth rushed into her body in an overwhelming manner.

Upon seeing this, David Jones frowned slightly.

The awakening of the Arcane Star had nothing to do with the absorption of more or less energy. Maintaining a calm mind and finding the true self was the key. He hoped that Rossetti would remember his advice and not let the energy of heaven and earth distract her mind.

…

According to her teacher’s instructions, Rossetti maintained the operation of the Calm Mind technique until a mysterious substance slowly began to condense in her mind.

“Is this the Arcane Star that the teacher mentioned?”

Rossetti’s heart couldn’t help but rejoice.

She could clearly sense that as the Arcane Star gradually took shape, a familiar ghost force flowed into her body in an instant, filling her organs, flesh, and bone marrow, allowing her Ghost Lord late-stage cultivation to break through once again and reach the Ghost Lord apex.

At the same time, a profound and mysterious knowledge appeared in Rossetti’s mind – her innate Talent generated automatically after awakening the Arcane Star.

The overjoyed Rossetti unconsciously opened her eyes and saw a pair of concerned eyes, her heart instantly warmed.

“Congratulations! From today onwards, you are the only Ghost among Beast Trainers in this world!” David Jones congratulated her.

“Unique, Ghost?”

Rossetti, who sensed something wrong, paused and looked up at David Jones.

“There’s something I’ve been keeping from you. I’m not a Ghost, but a human from another world. Beast Trainers are an invention of the human cultivation system, and you are the first Ghost to cultivate both the Ghost and human systems.” There was a hint of apology in David Jones’ eyes.

“It doesn’t matter. I know, I’ve known it from the beginning!”

Rossetti smiled brightly, got up and directly hugged David Jones, burying his head in her broad chest.

Having been able to perceive the truth and lies since she was a child, she knew from the beginning that David Jones wasn’t a Ghost but belonged to a race very similar to that.

David Jones was taken aback by the sudden fragrance and softness on his face.

With David Jones’ strength, he could naturally break free from Rossetti’s restraining arms, but it might lead to some accidental bumps. In order to avoid more trouble, he communicated directly using his Psychic Power.

“Rossetti, let go of your hands quickly. I am your teacher, and this is not acceptable!”

Rossetti was taken aback for a moment, released her hands, and looked at the slightly panting David Jones with a puzzled expression.

In Penance Village, close intimate contact and helping each other in cultivation was normal. She found it hard to understand and raised a question.

“What’s wrong? Beryl’s mother is her father’s disciple.”

Upon hearing this, David Jones coughed lightly to conceal his embarrassment, and looked at Rossetti with a strange gaze.

He didn’t expect that his first disciple in Umbral was a rebellious one.

Subsequently, David Jones felt the suddenly heated gazes around him, his body stiffened, and he turned his head to see a group of little guys with expressions of eating melon seeds.

Not to mention Rainbow, who raised her dragon claws, just the sleazy-eyed Lolo holding a cup of water to his mouth was a surprise to David Jones.

These little fellows were all here to watch the show!

Especially Lolo, who usually served him water and was like a cuddly little cotton-padded jacket, had turned sinister now!

“One Special Grade Dragon Crystal!”

Understanding the message in David Jones’ gaze, Lolo quickly opened the Mesona Space channel, throwing Rainbow and the other little guys in one by one, and finally jumped in herself.

Seeing that the pets who were watching the show had left, David Jones directly hit Rossetti on the head with a head bump.

“The thoughts and concepts of humans and Ghosts are different. What I say is not allowed.”

Rossetti whimpered in pain, holding her head with both hands, her tone somewhat lost.

“Can I not be your disciple?”

“One day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father. Have you forgotten what I said to you at the beginning!” David Jones stretched his finger to her forehead, warning her with a tone that seemed to be ready for another head bump at any time.

“Understood.” Rossetti lowered her head slightly, clenching her fist in a place where David Jones couldn’t see.

No matter how ignorant she was, she knew that in Umbral, a couple relationship would last forever unless death separated them.

“Clearly, we signed the Holy Oath, and our minds were linked. How can it be called a comrade if we’re not together forever!” Rossetti was somewhat unwilling.

But there was nothing she could do. Her current strength was weaker than her teacher’s. She could only obey now and wait until her strength surpassed her teacher’s in the future. She believed that by then, even the teacher would not be able to ignore her opinions.

“Silly girl!”

David Jones looked at the Rossetti who was fantasizing about the future in front of him and couldn’t help but laugh, shaking his head helplessly.

At most, he would stay in Umbral for a year and a half. Even with Rossetti’s Ghost Deity bloodline, it would be difficult for her to catch up with him in such a short time.

“You have just completed the awakening of the Arcane Star. Next, focus on visualizing the Calm Mind technique, and strive to upgrade your Arcane Star to Class II in the shortest possible time. This way, you will be able to successfully Contract the Turtle Dragon Egg. If you have any questions about cultivating Calm Mind, you can ask me,” David Jones said softly.

Even he, who could originally maintain the evolution of Rainbow’s Contract across three Classes and become a Commander, should not find it difficult to achieve a Contract across three Classes with Rossetti’s Ghost Deity background.

Rossetti sensed the shining green Arcane Star in her mind and said uncertainly, “Teacher, my Arcane Star seems to have reached Class II already!”

David Jones: “???”
