The Strongest Dragon in the Era of Beast Taming

Chapter 540 - 534: Ripping and Uprooting

Chapter 540: Chapter 534: Ripping and Uprooting

“Is this an invincible skill?” David Jones blinked in disbelief.

Holy shit! Having a Class III upper-level that could ignore any power below Class VI was incredible. This meant that Goldy now had a terrifying defense that even Sixth-Order King-Class Exotic Beasts couldn’t deal with.

Even if Goldy stood still and let a Sixth-Order King-Class Exotic Beast attack, it wouldn’t feel any pain. This outrageous defense was even more powerful than most of the Class VI SS tier arcane implements.

Of course, ignoring the power wasn’t enough, as Goldy’s strength still made it challenging to threaten a Sixth-Order King-Class Exotic Beast. If the opponent used skills like binding, they could still defeat Goldy in just a few rounds.

However, when it came to team combat, Goldy’s Dragon Body was even more ridiculous than Daphne’s Eternal Light Body, able to block the opponent’s attacks without any effort.

“It seems that Goldy can become a dedicated vanguard shield in the future, blocking all skill attacks!”

David Jones couldn’t help but smirk when he imagined the unbelievable look on the faces of opponents when they couldn’t even break through the defense of a goldfish with their ultimate skills.

Compared to this unexpectedly powerful Dragon Body, the second new skill seemed relatively dull.

[Skill]: Earth Dragon Force

[Level]: Sixth-Order Earth and Dragon dual-type passive skill

Profile: Freely roam within the earth, gaining power comparable to dragons of the same order while amplified by Earth’s energy.

After reading this, David Jones glanced at Goldy in the creek and, with a thought, a pebble floated beside his right hand.

He then grabbed the stone, activated the Tigrex Dossier, and threw the pebble with all his might towards Goldy’s direction.

“Shoo!”

Under David Jones’ full-force attack, the pebble tore through the air, creating a violent sonic boom with a lightning-like speed that almost melted its surface, radiating scorching heat.

“Gurgle!”

Goldy’s body stiffened, its dull, fish-like eyes bulged, and it subconsciously tried to dodge.

However, the pebble’s speed was faster than it had imagined, and the quickly approaching terrifying force made it close its eyes in fear.

“Bang!” A muffled banging sounded.

Under David Jones’ gaze, the pebble, nearly melted by his excessive force, seemingly slammed against an impenetrable Bronze Wall, leaving no scratch whatsoever.

Goldy, who was shivering at the spot, discovered that the attack never fell and licked its lips, assuming David Jones was playing with it. It opened its mouth and sprayed out a torrent of water towards David Jones.

“Rumbling!”

David Jones released flames from his hands and evaporated the incoming water under the amused gaze of the other pets.

“Without using any skill, just a regular water spray has a power comparable to a Class IV upper-level strike. The mutation of bloodlines did have a significant impact on Goldy.”

As David Jones pondered, the frightened Goldy hid deep inside a crevice in the creek, unwilling to come out.

Seeing this, David Jones sighed and remarked, “Goldy’s power may have increased, but its courage remains as small as ever!”

The Gluttonous Beast on the side nodded sympathetically.

Little did it know that it was because it often grilled fish in front of Goldy, which made the latter become slightly averse to flames.

David Jones shook his head and turned his attention to Goldy’s final new attack skill.

[Skill]: Ripping and Uprooting

[Level]: Seventh-Order Earth and Dragon Dual-style skill

“Profile”: Drawing upon the Earth Energy of the Dragon Vein, this skill causes a vast expanse of earth to split open, forming a narrow, deep abyssal fissure, and stirring up Lava to rise from the fissure, creating an unstoppable, infinitely powerful mountain to attack all enemies in front of it.

Note: Multiple uses of Ripping and Uprooting can cause shifts in the Earth’s crust, causing the surrounding volcanoes to erupt simultaneously and greatly increasing the power of Ripping and Uprooting.

“Not bad, it’s a very powerful skill, but given Goldy’s timid nature, it’s hard to unleash this skill’s full power,” muttered David Jones.

Whether it’s opening up an abyss or stirring up the Earth’s fire, either one would scare the faint-hearted Goldy.

After thinking about it, David Jones ordered Goldy, who was stuck in the distance, unable to enter the cracks in the stone: “Goldy, use the Ripping and Uprooting skill.”

Goldy: “???”

Looking at Goldy’s dull, lifeless fish eyes, David Jones was somewhat speechless.

He had almost forgotten that besides eating and drinking, Goldy’s mind was incapable of communicating through psychic exchange.

“Gululu?” (What’s Ripping and Uprooting?)

Goldy spat out a series of bubbles.

Perceiving Goldy’s first emission of psychic fluctuations, a hint of surprise flashed across David Jones’s eyes.

With the enhancement of his bloodline mutation, Goldy’s intellect seemed to have increased quite a bit.

“The skill is innately hidden within your bloodline, just close your eyes, use your Psychic Perception and follow your instincts to unleash it,” David Jones instructed.

Goldy stared with its big fish eyes, staring blankly at David Jones.

One second, two seconds, three seconds… a minute passed.

David Jones rubbed his forehead and let out a breath.

“Forget it, I won’t trouble you anymore!”

After saying this, David Jones unhesitatingly led Rainbow and the others in collecting the mature spiritual herbs from the medicine field and planting the treasured elixir seeds to await the next round of maturity.

…

The following morning.

David Jones, who had not slept all night, sensed the movement outside his room and got up to open the door.

The Houston mansion’s steward whom David Jones had seen the night before, immediately bowed respectfully.

“Sir, the Tiger Carriage with eight doors is ready, and we can leave at any time.”

Upon hearing this, David Jones looked down at the scene below.

Eight ferocious, majestic Tigers with drooping eyes, pulling a luxurious and exquisite carriage with an air of dominance. On the carriage were four alluring, slender maids waiting quietly. Two teams of robust, extraordinary guards were escorting the carriage as it passed the Ghosts in the inn, attracting attention from all directions.

However, upon discovering the Houston family crest on the carriage, they quickly shifted their gaze, fearing they would bring trouble upon themselves.

“Interesting!”

Seeing the Houston family’s solemn reception ceremony, David Jones didn’t comment aloud, but was quite satisfied in his heart.

Since ancient times, the limit of life was a restraint in the eyes of the Strong One, leading numerous people to pursue eternal life.

Today, the Houston family’s display of grandeur meant that after he successfully extended Martin Houston’s life, his reputation would undoubtedly spread throughout Silver-Abyssal City, even to Night County and Spring Mansion.

After all, from ancient times to the present, there was not a single Strong One who did not want to prolong their lives or those of their family members, and news regarding longevity would spread at an incredibly fast pace. By then, he would easily enter the Umbral Virtue-Gathering Hall with his fame.

By that time, who would imagine that a healer with a world-renowned, resounding reputation throughout the Umbral would actually be a human!

So David Jones nodded his head in satisfaction and climbed onto the Tiger Carriage under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
