The Strongest Dragon in the Era of Beast Taming-Chapter 559 - 553: Commander Lynn Lindwood

Chapter 559: Chapter 553: Commander Lynn Lindwood

“Now is not the time for refining.”

David Jones suppressed the eager urge in his heart and turned his head to look at Lornaa Lindwood beside him, who seemed to have come to a realization after their conversation.

“The ‘Immortal Medicine’, ‘Dual Refining of Spirits’, and ‘Ten Spirits in Harmony’ that the gentleman discussed appear to be the sublimation and essence of the medical path of Umbral. I have only pondered lightly, and already I find the depth and taste profound, with different feelings emerging each time.”

After praising, the unveiled beautiful face of Lornaa Lindwood blushed with a shade of modest admiration, stirring the hearts of those who beheld her.

It was well-known that the Tranquil Princess Lornaa Lindwood was the Empress’s own sister. Winning her favor and returning with such a beauty would save at least hundreds or even thousands of years of struggle, with success and fame readily within reach.

Thus, the surrounding soldiers clad in armor and weapons looked at David Jones with a hint of envy, then suddenly remembered something and sneakily glanced at their nominal superior, the Earth Demon Guard Commander Lynn Lindwood, of the Umbral royal family.

He was a handsome man with deep-set eyes, his flawless skin radiating a faint glow, a testament to having cultivated his physique to a level beyond the common man’s imagination.

However, Lynn Lindwood’s face was downcast, his gaze fixed on the blushing Lornaa Lindwood, the hand holding the reins taut with bulging veins, an unvented aura of might making even the Seven Stars Dragon Wolf beneath him, which was at the Ghost King apex-level, involuntarily bow its proud head.

“A match of talents and beauty is truly thus!” Lynn Lindwood’s face revealed a bitter smile of resignation, feeling the halberd on his back as heavy as a mountain.

Lynn Lindwood was very aware of the prince’s desperate search for talents, and his uncompromising character. If he dared to lash out at David Jones out of jealousy, it would surely displease the princess and might even lead to severe punishment—a consequence he could not accept!

David Jones, feeling a sharp gaze passing by, looked up to the surrounding guards and easily identified Lynn Lindwood, who stood out among them.

“Interesting. If not for the compelling will of a strong man in that gaze, I wouldn’t have discovered this deeply concealed powerhouse, whose strength has reached the medium phase of the Ghost Emperor Level.”

David Jones’s eyes shifted, gaining a deeper understanding of the power of the Umbral royal family.

Lornaa Lindwood, noticing the curiosity in David Jones’s eyes, introduced him, “That’s Commander Lynn Lindwood, who is in charge of my Earth Demon Guard. He is outstanding in strength and has a considerable reputation within the Royal City of Umbral. Sir, are you interested in him?” free𝑤ebnovel.com

David Jones waved his hand nonchalantly, his eyes meeting those of Lynn Lindwood.

Lynn Lindwood’s heart stirred, wishing to test David Jones’s mettle, and his aura surged forth, kickstarting the customary greeting of the mighty in Umbral.

For a moment, two tumultuous auras collided, and the space around them crackled with invisible thunder, the overwhelming force gradually gaining the upper hand.

“The Domination of a Ghost Emperor powerhouse is indeed not much less than that of a Class VII Overlord Beast, but it still falls noticeably short compared to Lolo’s might!” David Jones sighed in relief internally.

“Lynn, you must not be disrespectful!”

As Theodore Lindwood’s voice rang out, Lynn Lindwood’s bursting aura immediately retreated.

He looked deeply at David Jones and said respectfully with a clasped fist, “Sir, your talent is world-renowned, and I admire it greatly.”

“I still fall far short of Commander Lynn,” David Jones said with humility.

He was only twenty years old today and had been on the path of cultivation for just a few years. It was quite normal that his ability did not rival that of Lynn Lindwood, who had cultivated for decades.

But David Jones believed that in another decade, catching up to the other and becoming an Epic powerhouse was not an unattainable goal.

“Sir is too kind! Compared to your peerless medical prowess, my Cultivation is truly shallow,” Lynn Lindwood shook his head, speaking with reverence.

Jealousy aside, Lynn Lindwood was well aware of David Jones’s extraordinary status in His Highness’s heart, and wouldn’t choose to confront him openly.

After all, within the powerful royal family of the Silver-Abyssal City, there were not many, but not a few, Ghost Emperor Level experts. If His Highness wished, he could easily find several Ghost Emperor experts to order around, but there was no other healer capable of Healing Hemorrhagic Fever besides the currently present David Jones.

This incomparable scarcity had forged David Jones’s lofty status. Even Lynn Lindwood, despite being a Ghost Emperor, dared not slight him due to a momentary impulse, let alone offend him.

The time passed quickly during their conversation, and after attending Prince Theodore’s celebration, David Jones excused himself under the pretext of cultivation and left.

…

Having shaken off the lurking Houston family daughters, who pretended to have chest pains or twisted ankles on the road, David Jones entered his room with a lingering scent.

Rossetti was sitting by the window, teasing Little Arthur with a small hand and smiling. When she caught sight of David Jones’s arrival out of the corner of her eye, she quickly stood up, hugging Little Arthur to her chest.

“Has Greenox already left?” David Jones asked.

“Yes, Teacher. Before he left, the Commander also asked me to tell you that he absolutely won’t disappoint you,” Rossetti replied with a puzzled look in her eyes, curious about Greenox’s mission but she didn’t ask further.

“Good. How is your practice with Calm Mind going?” David Jones began to inquire about his disciple’s cultivation progress.

Rossetti’s body stiffened, and she clutched Little Arthur tightly, causing it to stick out its tongue. With a somewhat ashamed expression, she said, “I haven’t mastered it yet.”

David Jones raised an eyebrow and smiled, “Then why aren’t you practicing diligently instead of staying in my room?”

Watching Rossetti flee in a panic, David Jones shook his head and picked up the teapot from the desk, pouring himself a cup of warm tea and drinking it in one gulp.

“The day I leave the Silver-Abyssal City is getting closer. I wonder if Rossetti will be willing to leave with me then.”

Having said that, David Jones no longer dwelled on the thought, turning his attention to the Immortal Power within his mind.

According to Lornaa, it would only take a mere three days to travel from Silver Abyssal City to the Imperial City on a Thunderlight Eagle, and David Jones could leave for the Imperial City at any time, aiming for a princely title.

But David Jones decided to delay his departure, staying in Silver-Abyssal City for half a month.

The reason was simple, digesting resources required time, and Ghost Emperor experts, who used to be a rare sight, were now appearing more and more frequently. To prepare for the possible crises in the Imperial City in the future, David Jones, now with a sense of urgency, chose to improve his strength in the fastest way.

“Now let’s see if Immortal Power is as miraculous as the Identify ability of the Illusion-Piercing Eye!”

Thinking this, David Jones no longer hesitated, fully infusing the Immortal Power, which was bound by the Dragon-Wielding force, into his Arcane Star.

“Boom!”

At the moment the holy seven-colored dragons merged into the Arcane Star, David Jones felt a clarity in his mind, his Arcane Star breaking through from Class V initial level to the medium stage, followed by the quiet birth of a profound and mysterious power.

Indeed, with the dispersal of the Immortal Power, a new force began to emerge, and David Jones’s Second Talent, the Dragon-Wielding, also gained brand new traits.

Feeling a peculiar power suddenly emerge within him, David Jones couldn’t help but raise his finger, and a bright flame quietly appeared at the tip.
