Chapter 232: Aquatic Dragon, Evolution

“Grandpa, you’re here.” Gao Peng, who was training his familiars at the lakeside, saw his grandfather walked over and greeted him.

“Training your familiars again?” Ji Hanwu looked over to the familiars Gao Peng was with.

Da Zi and Stripey were having a dazzling battle. Both of them were Epic grade familiars, and both of them were around level 30. One had a flying attack ability, and the other had its spider webs to control the battlefield. The spider webs were enough to mitigate the fact that Stripey couldn’t fly. Sometimes, the battle grew so intense that it was difficult to tell who was who.

However, the fight on the other side was even more intense.

“Haaa,” Goldie raised its foot and jumped, its 30-foot-tall body going into the air with its flat beak pointing downwards and the tops of its wings clenched into fists. Then it punched forward. The muscles at the tops of its wings were pushed together and almost formed a spherical shape.

Bang!

Dumby was sent flying by Goldie’s punch, but landed steady on the ground. It used the black bones in the sole of its foot to hook on the ground, digging deep into the dirt.

“Not bad...” Dumby said slowly. He straightened his right hand, reached for his back, and held onto his black tailbone. He suddenly pulled forward and the four-foot-long tailbone instantly broke away from his vertebrae. Each part of the bone started to straighten. It became a sword in Dumby’s hands.

Red veins emerged from the crack of Dumby’s fingers. The red veins slowly entangled around the bone sword, making the bone sword more durable and much easier to control.

Dumby had only been in the slaughterhouse for three weeks, yet his level had grown rapidly from 33 to 39. He was only 2 levels away from being promoted to the Lord-tier.

The speed in which Dumby was gaining levels was beyond Gao Peng’s expectation. However, it had slowed down ever since Dumby had reached level 36. Dumby had been stuck at level 39 for three days.

Goldie had also been leveling up very quickly. The speed at which it leveled up was fast simply because it was Gao Peng’s lowest level familiar. It had reached the Commander-tier two weeks before, and it was currently at level 24. After Goldie was promoted to the Commander-tier, its grade was downgraded from Legendary grade to Epic grade. Since it had reached the Legendary grade before, it wouldn’t be difficult for it to reach it again.

Gao Peng had to use a lot of precious materials to restore Goldie back to Legendary grade.

When a Legendary monster and an Epic monster fought, and their levels were both similar, the Legendary grade monster would dominate the battle.

This was why Dumby was the best sparring partner for Goldie.

Dumby first summoned hundred of undead monsters to surround and attack Goldie. Goldie’s body expanded to the preposterous height of 35 feet due to the attacks from the undead monsters surrounding and attacking it.

Then Dumby stopped casting its Flame of the Undead ability. Just because it could summon the undead to fight for it, it didn’t mean it couldn’t fight using its own strength.

Another effect of the Flame of the Undead was that it discreetly strengthened Dumby’s bones. Coupled with the Blood-Thread Heart’s explosive power, Dumby was extremely terrifying to fight against at close range. If someone mistakenly assumed Dumby was a frail necromancer and wanted to beat it by bypassing its minions and attacking him directly, they would be met with a world of pain.

“Kill!” Dumby pointed its sword forward and rushed out. It opened his body wide, making itself look like a mountain rushing forward.

Its sword fighting skills had been taught by a hired sword master.

Dumby’s bones were harder than the best metal wheels on the market, so he didn’t need any armor. However, some of the ancient human sword fighting techniques were of use to Dumby. His body proportion was similar to that of a human being. Some of the sword fighting techniques that were suitable for humans were also suitable for Dumby.

It didn’t matter that Goldie was able to expand hundreds of times in size. In the end, Dumby was still the victor of this battle.

Dumby could’ve ended the battle right as it began. However, he was helping train Goldie, which was why the battle lasted for as long as it did.

After all, the difference in their levels was extremely large. Even though Goldie had risen in level, it was still currently at level 24. Besides, most of Dumby’s attacks were purely physical. Goldie’s elemental resistance ability was of no use.

“Not bad,” Grandpa praised. “You’re now strong enough to protect yourself.”

Gao Peng was happy that he could hear his grandpa’s praise.

“There’s one more week before the World Youth Trainer Championship,” Grandpa said to Gao Peng. “For you to be a referee at your current level is a bit iffy. If you want to convince the public and silence all criticism, you need to have a Lord-tier familiar before entering the competition!”

Gao Peng went silent. This issue gave him a headache. Going by the current speed of Dumby’s growth, he should have been able to reach level 40 by the time he entered the competition. However, getting to the Lord-tier required even more time.

Gao Peng didn’t doubt his ability to get his familiars up to the Lord-tier, but he needed more time.

“The White Dragon is preparing for its breakthrough tonight,” Grandpa suddenly said.

“Oh.” Gao Peng was somewhat shocked. However, after thinking for a while, Gao Peng remembered the first time he had seen the White Aquatic Dragon, when it had already been at level 50. Now that a few months had passed, it would have been strange if it had stayed at Lord-tier. “Okay. I’ll help guard for you tonight,” Gao Peng said seriously.

Ji Hanwu laughed heartily. He only patted Gao Peng on his shoulders and didn’t say anything else.

If the White Aquatic Dragon evolved, it would be promoted to the Legendary Emperor-tier monster. This was the highest monster tier that humans had made contact with.

Uncle Liu’s two Lord-tier familiars rushed over, perhaps because the White Aquatic Dragon was about to have its breakthrough.

The night was approaching, the sky getting darker and darker. The dark clouds in the sky gradually covered the moon, blocking the moonlight and lowering the visibility. A crescent moon rose from the horizon, its light shining on the lake. The night was incredibly quiet.

Small ripples started to appear on surface of the lake, and they were coming from the center. The speed started to become faster and faster. In the end, they turned into violent waves on the lake’s surface.

Swish!

A column of water rushed towards the sky, rising hundreds of feet high, then falling and splashing in all directions like a fountain.

However, the falling water droplets that flew into the sky didn’t fall back into the lake. Instead, they evaporated into the air.

Gao Peng stood on the second floor of the villa. He could feel the air growing more moist and see the visibility decreasing.

Half an hour had passed, and the White Dragon had engulfed nearly the whole Southern Sky Group. The company’s workers had all stopped working. They gathered together and discussed what was happening.

Some of the upper management stood by the building’s windows and stared in the direction of the villa with serious expressions on their faces.

People who had a more sensitive sense of smell were already able to smell a change in the air.

...

In the meantime, a huge figure emerged from the lake. It was wandering about in the thick fog, swallowing the clouds and spitting out smoke while moving around like it was wind.

However, when Gao Peng saw the White Dragon’s attributes, he felt shock instantly. Suspicion started to fill his heart.

This... White Dragon is already at level 51.

Does this mean it was already successfully promoted? Or did it just reach its breakthrough just now?
