Chapter 706: Chapter 700: An Invincible Opponent
“`
“What terrifying Destiny!” Lilith Hoyle looked at Daphne with surprise.
In ancient records, some chosen ones blessed with good fortune would face substantially weakened Heavenly Tribulations, and the rewards they received after successfully passing these tribulations were not diminished but actually increased.
However, she hadn’t expected that a Destiny Sacred Beast could be outrageous enough to protect its master with luck, with a fate so strong it could even interfere with the Heavenly Tribulation.
How was this any different from being the favored son of the heavens?
“What terrifying power!”
Having successfully passed the Thunder Tribulation and feeling his Innate Talent transform, David Jones couldn’t help but reveal a trace of joy on his face.
Following that, knowledge about Immortal in Death continuously flooded into his brain.
[Talent]: Immortal in Death (Awakening Stage)
[Abilities]: Death is Life, Immortal Existence, Undying Bloodline
[Level]: Immortal
David didn’t pay too much attention to the first two significantly enhanced abilities, instead focusing on the [Undying Bloodline] that emerged after his latent period moved into the Awakening Stage.
[Ability Introduction]: As Immortal in Death further awakens, the awakener’s bloodline receives a trace of undying divinity.
Once the undying divinity hidden in the bloodline coalesces into a strand, the one who awakens will gain the protection of a power that lasts forever, ignite divine fire in the body, and completely step into immortality.
“Strange, my dream is to become an Immortal Trainer, why am I developing more and more towards the direction of Immortal Body Cultivation!” While David did say this, his tone contained barely concealed excitement.
The ability of Undying Bloodline is very simple to summarize!
David can use the Tigrex Dossier or Immortal Power to temper the undying divinity within his bloodline; condensing a hundred threads of undying divinity forms a strand, and condensing ten thousand strands forms a conduit.
One conduit of undying divinity would be enough to help him ignite the divine fire, becoming the first Immortal power since the beginning of the Star Calendar!
“What a pity, if it weren’t for Immortal Power aiding the condensation, relying solely on the Tigrex Dossier to grind it would take at least a thousand years!” David felt a slight regret, but not much.
After all, there are many legendary warriors in this world who have fallen before the barrier of their Level and have therefore remained forever unable to attain immortality!
How many legendary warriors have secluded themselves for a thousand years for that glimmer of hope for breaking through to immortality, or even in the face of their final moments desperately embraced the Demon God in despair.
And David doesn’t have to do anything, the divinity brought about by the awakening of his Undying Bloodline is a chance at becoming a god that many powerful trainers can only long for in vain.
“If I think about it, I feel like I can take on one-tenth of Lolo, half a Daphne, a dozen or so Rainbows, tens of Gluttonous Beasts, or even a hundred Loonas,” David thought to himself.
“Eeek!” “Meow!” “Roar!” “Baa!” “Chirp!”
Sensing David’s thoughts, all the pets protested, especially Loona who was measured as the smallest unit.
“Baa!” (Even if I am weak, the Gluttonous Beast can’t possibly defeat ten of me!)
Loona’s pitch-black Dragon Wings burst forth with light pink blades, as if she wanted to have an on-the-spot comparison with the Gluttonous Beast.
“Roar.” (Stop struggling, have you forgotten that our master possesses the Illusion-Piercing Eye?)
The Gluttonous Beast waved its dragon claws.
It didn’t care, as long as it wasn’t ranked last, it could barely accept it.
“Eeek!”
Rainbow stared intently at the tense-faced Daphne, but ultimately, despair set in, and its gaze shifted away.
It knew that the Trainer was right, it truly was no match for Daphne now.
“`
After all, the gap between a Junior Class VI and a Level I Class VII was too immense, a chasm so vast that Rainbow lost all confidence in challenging it.
David Jones was still unaware that just by muttering to himself inside, he had offended three little ones; he was currently still immersed in feeling the changes in his Dragon-Wielding power and his Illusion-Piercing Eye.
This time, the Dragon-Wielding power still did not awaken any new special properties, but its essence of strength had achieved an extremely high level of enhancement.
David Jones had a premonition that now, with a mere touch, he could instantly transform a roadside stone into a Junior Dragon Crystal.
If he was willing to expend a large amount of blood, he could even quickly create a Dragon Crystal of a quality even higher than the special-grade ones!
“Wait, if I use Essence Blood to enhance the Dragon Crystals, could I possibly cultivate special Dragon Crystals with even more astonishing grades of effects!” David Jones’s eyes flickered with a bright glint.
Before stepping into the Epic realm, the Essence Blood nurtured in his body by the Tigrex Dossier was limited; using a drop would require a lot of time and resources to replenish his vitality, which was a loss not worth the cost, so David Jones never entertained the idea of using Essence Blood to enhance Dragon Crystals.
But now, it was different. If reaching the fourth level of the Tigrex Dossier had given David Jones a physique comparable to a Class VI King True Dragon, then the fifth level had granted him a recovery ability that not only matched but even surpassed that of a Class VII Emperor Dragon.
Of course, David Jones still couldn’t match the physical strength of a Class VII Emperor Dragon at the moment, but he certainly had the capital to look down on many a Class VII Tyrant True Dragon.
Just as David Jones wanted to experiment with his idea, Lilith Hoyle walked over with Grau.
“Aren’t you going to apologize to your junior brother?”
“Apologize?”
David Jones blinked in surprise and said, “Apologize for what? If it wasn’t for swearing brotherhood with Grau and drinking the Dragon Blood Wine, I would still be meandering in Class VI, how could I have possibly broken through to Class VII!”
Hearing this, Grau’s eyes lit up; he hurriedly patted his chest and, with a wide grin, laughingly said, “That’s right, I was clearly helping my own brother break through. Lilith, if you don’t understand, then don’t spout nonsense!”
Watching Grau getting carried away, David Jones couldn’t help but mourn for him in his heart.
As expected, upon hearing this, the teacher frowned and spoke in a displeased tone, “Alright, alright, tonight I’m going to meticulously check your control over the new skill!”
“Ah!!!” Grau opened his mouth wide as if he wanted to reject.
But before he could speak, the teacher waved her sleeve, and with one palm strike directly to Grau’s head, he was sent flying like a cannonball, slamming into an already precarious wall.
At the same time, the distant door that was tightly shut suddenly opened, revealing Gees Goldsmith who had extended his hand to ring the doorbell.
“You’ve arrived just in time; I have something I need to discuss with you!”
Seeing Lilith Hoyle’s meaningful smile at the corner of her mouth, Gees Goldsmith suddenly had an ominous premonition.
Seeing visitors arrive, David Jones wanted to excuse himself to digest the gains from his breakthrough.
But with a word, the teacher called him back, indicating that the following discussion was related to him.
…
Stepping into the lavishly decorated drawing room, Gees Goldsmith and Rosalind Louise occasionally glanced at the dragon egg behind Daphne with greedy and wary eyes.
This displeased Daphne, who was protective over her charge. She took the Dragon Egg of Doom back into the Star Ring, while David Jones’s eyes revealed a contemplative gleam.
If his intuition was correct, Director Goldsmith representing Peony College must have come for the Dragon Egg of Doom; otherwise, there was no reason for the teacher to involve him.
As David Jones observed, Gees Goldsmith was also secretly alarmed.
A month ago, David Jones was but a junior with boundless potential, whom Gees was confident he could easily defeat.
But now, David Jones had become an existence on the same level as himself, and just perceiving David Jones’s aura, Gees felt a sense of powerlessness as if he was facing an insurmountable opponent!
“As the rumors say, this young man indeed possesses the qualifications of a Deity and should not be offended lightly!”
