The Strongest Dragon in the Era of Beast Taming-Chapter 713: 707: Change of the Pillar of Heaven
Chapter 713 -707: Change of the Pillar of Heaven
As David Jones’s thought slightly moved, Guildmaster Maud immediately sensed an inexplicable psychic power preventing him from bowing.
“Guildmaster Maud, you are my senior, there’s no need for formalities, just call me David Jones.”
It was one thing to speak formally with strangers, but David Jones still felt somewhat uncomfortable using honorifics with acquaintances; it really was too strange.
“Alright.”
Hearing this, Guildmaster Maud breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Although he felt that he had treated David Jones generously in the past, there were many who became ungrateful and disloyal after gaining success.
However, judging by David Jones’s current attitude, there still seemed to be some goodwill between them, which might be useful in the future.
“The application for the Imperial Palace Pavilion is actually very simple, you just sign here, and I’ll handle the rest of the process, which should take about fifteen minutes to complete.”
With Guildmaster Maud personally handling the procedure, things moved at a different pace, and within only five minutes, David Jones saw the process halted at the final approval.
“This final approval needs to be verified on-site by the five major trainer guilds, the Waterland Trainer Guild doesn’t have the authority to process it,” Guildmaster Maud explained.
David Jones wasn’t bothered, anyhow, when he returned to Rosewood City, he could directly verify it himself.
Besides, the status of a member of the Imperial Palace Pavilion only represents a trainer’s status and privileges, there are no pet resources benefits to claim, and compared to the membership, David Jones felt that the crafting of the Pure Blood of Doom was more important.
“Gluttonous Beast, learn well these next few days, whether the Dragon Egg of Doom can hatch peacefully in the future depends on you!” David Jones patted his mechanical wrist guard.
“Roar!”
…
“There is a trainer competition in the city the day after tomorrow, and if you’re available, I would like to invite you to be the opening guest for this edition of the Hegemony Race,” Guildmaster Maud said hesitantly as he extended the invitation.
Upon hearing this, David Jones thought.
Unlike small trainer competitions like the Puppet Cup, the full name of the Hegemony Race is the City-Wide Trainer Hegemony Competition.
The competition is open to all city trainers without any age restrictions and is a large-scale competition that takes place once every five years.
As long as a contestant can demonstrate extraordinary combat awareness and talent in the Hegemony Race, achieving decent results may give them the opportunity to advance to a higher-level city’s Hegemony Race and become well-known by everyone.
“Just as a guest, can I also compete in the race?” David Jones asked in return.
If he remembered correctly, this year’s Waterland City Trainer Hegemony Competition reward was a Level VI Thunder Type trainer resource “Thunderlight Grass,” which is hard to purchase in the market and has the capability to stimulate the thunder type bloodline within pets and awaken the thunder type attribute.
Of course, although Thunderlight Grass was somewhat rare in Waterland City, if David Jones wanted to purchase it, he could easily buy a batch, his goal wasn’t the reward.
Guildmaster Maud looked at David Jones with a peculiar expression, wondering if there was a problem with his hearing, “Are you sure you want to participate?”
As the Trainer Guild Master of Waterland City, Gavin Maud was well aware of the level of the city’s trainers.
Simply put, with David Jones’s current strength, participating in the Waterland Hegemony Race was like fishing with dynamite in a fish pond, or even demeaning, beneath his epic status.
“Certain,” David Jones affirmed seriously.
His reason for participating in the Hegemony Race wasn’t for the reward or to waste time outmatching the less skilled, but rather to grind Goldy’s confidence through a streak of consecutive victories.
“Of course, you can,” Guildmaster Maud smiled.
With David Jones participating, this edition of Waterland City’s City-Wide Hegemony Race could definitely attract the attention of trainers nationwide, bringing substantial traffic and viewers to Waterland City.
In any case, both publicly and privately, he had no reason to refuse and could only silently mourn for the contestants of this Hegemony Race in his heart.
Wait, on second thought, knowing that an epic strength fighter was participating, the city’s contestants might be even more excited and eager to take part.
After all, for ordinary trainers, being defeated by an epic strength fighter might also be an honorable achievement worth bragging about.
…
Returning to the Louise family research lab, David Jones handed over the Gluttonous Beast to Rosalind Louise, to continue learning about the Pure Blood of Doom.
According to Rosalind, Gluttonous Beasts have extremely strong learning and researching abilities; they only need about half a month to master the technique of refining pure blood perfectly.
“Yi!” (Still half a month!)
Rainbow pulled a long face, heaving a slight sigh.
It had been a long time since it had comprehended the rules in the Ice-Fire World, feeling somewhat off in its body, so it had no choice but to return to the Mesona Space and continue to challenge the Firewood Kylin, attempting to grasp the mysteries of the ultimate imperial flames through combat.
It must be said, the Firewood Kylin was also quite stubborn.
If Rainbow dared to challenge it, it would dare to accept the challenge, even if it ended up battered and bruised every time; the Firewood Kylin had never shown weakness in front of Rainbow.
“Buzz!”
Just as an overwhelming battle had ended, David Jones’s phone vibrated slightly; a message from Principal Easton immediately appeared on the screen.
[There’s been an unexpected development on Skypillar Island; the Wood Azure Flood Dragon that chose you has disappeared, and the Trial of Azure Dragon Inheritance needs to be postponed.]
Seeing this message, and recalling Rossetti Lindwood’s earlier warning, David’s brows slightly furrowed; he immediately started to check the rankings of this year’s Crown Competition.
“Champion: Sandel Goldsmith.”
“Runner-up: Derek Thunder.”
“Third Place: Wes Divot.”
“…”
Seeing several unknown dark horse competitors winning runner-up and third place, doubt flickered in David’s eyes, and he made a call to Principal Easton.
“Hello.” A tired voice came from the phone.
“Principal, I’ve seen your message. How long will the Emperor Trials specifically be delayed?”
David wasn’t too concerned about the so-called Azure Dragon Envoy, but he was filled with curiosity about the legendary Heavenly Azure Dragon and even wanted to find an opportunity to snatch some of its Immortal Power to enhance his strength during the Emperor Trials.
“The exact time of the trial is undecided.”
Principal Easton’s voice was heavy: “Fortunately, we had your early warning; otherwise, the participants of this Crown Competition might have been nearly annihilated, and even Rosewood City could have been destroyed because of the Skypillar Island incident.”
“That serious!!!” David’s heart skipped a beat.
“What exactly happened on Skypillar Island?” he asked instinctively.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.
After a long pause, Principal Easton finally spoke, almost inquiringly: “The Skypillar Island incident has been classified as SSS-level top secret. Are you sure you want to wade into these murky waters?”
The implication from Principal Easton was clear: the incident on Skypillar Island was extremely dangerous, and David was not suited to get involved.
Thus, David changed the topic, starting to talk about the trade involving the Nine-Purity Spring Water.
“Your luck isn’t very good, because of the heavy casualties on Skypillar Island, this year’s allocation of Nine-Purity Spring Water has been used up, including the portion I was trading for you.”
Principal Easton explained: “But don’t worry, the Heart Water Deity still has quite a bit of Nine-Purity Spring Water, it’s just that you’ll have to wait until she successfully emerges from her secluded cultivation.”
“When will the Heart Water Deity likely emerge?”
“At most five years, at least three.”
“Pity.” David hung up the phone, feeling somewhat regretful.
If he could get the Nine-Purity Spring Water now, the Seven Rites Bodhi Tree might enter a growth burst period.
Nevertheless, five years was neither long nor short, just barely enough time for the Seven Rites Bodhi to accumulate some potential.
Perhaps it could use the power of the Nine-Purity Spring Water to mature in one fell swoop.
