Chapter 705: Chapter 699: The Center of Attention
“Roar!”
As the golden glow faded, David Jones’s consciousness was shaken, and the image of a terrifying existence, birthed from the ancient past, instantaneously appeared in his mind.
It was a fearsome ancient dragon that came into being before human history, holding sway over the sun, the moon, the stars, and constellations, ruling over heaven and earth, causing the world itself to tremble beneath its dragon wings.
“What is immortality but an everlasting bloodline!”
Hearing this dragon roar that reverberated through heaven and earth, David Jones couldn’t help but immerse his entire being into it.
David Jones was at that time merely undergoing an epic breakthrough of the flesh, refining his physique with the power of the Heaven and Earth Laws’ evolution.
The mighty dragon roars, expounding the Great Path of immortality, directly allowed him a brief contact with the profound and mysterious meaning of immortality.
In that moment, David Jones shattered the bottleneck and shackles of a king’s ascension to epic levels, and streams of thick and mighty Dragon Force began to flow within his body; even his Innate Talent, “Immortal in Death,” showed signs of further awakening.
One day, two days, three days… As time slowly passed, the phantom image of the Tyrant Dragon that loomed over Waterland City not only didn’t dissipate but instead emitted an even more intense aura of domination.
“Boom, boom, boom!”
Guildmaster Maud gently tapped on the documents on his table with his fingers, his face filled with complex emotions.
“It’s actually David Jones!”
After a long while, Guildmaster Maud sighed deeply, his face suddenly aged five or six years.
He then opened the virtual screen and sent a city-wide announcement.
“Recently, a young prodigy from our city has been advancing to an epic level. The ancient dragon phantom, lack of arcane force, and other phenomena are all breakthrough anomalies, not a beast attacking the city. We ask the citizens to remain calm, everything should continue as normal.”
Once this announcement was issued, it immediately caused an uproar in Waterland City.
The small place of Waterland City instantly became the focus of attention from the surrounding cities.
Some well-informed individuals even connected this to the ancient relics that had recently appeared, suspecting that a treasure nurtured from the relics had given the powerful trainers of Waterland City the opportunity to make an epic leap.
“To live to see such days, for years, powerful trainers breaking through have headed to Level I cities with abundant heavenly and earthly arcane force. Unexpectedly, some powerful individuals have done the opposite!” Ivan Job, looking up at the still-persistent anomaly in the sky, spoke with astonishment.
As the saying goes, “When one man attains enlightenment, his entire clan ascends to heaven.” As one of David Jones’s former classroom teachers, he had advanced from being an ordinary teacher at Waterland Secondary School to a Director with considerable authority.
“Director Job, the announcement stated it’s our city’s prodigy. When did Waterland City produce such a young powerhouse?” next to him, a slim teacher with a knowledgeable aura expressed her confusion.
The term “pride of beastmasters” usually describes genius trainers under thirty years old.
To her knowledge, it had been nearly a century since Waterland City saw several exceptional graduates who got accepted into Flowery Kingdom’s Big Five and could be honored with this title, among whom the most famous was once a student of Director Job.
“So this epic powerhouse breaking through is still under thirty years old, and is a local from Waterland City!!!”
Ivan Job’s pupils shrunk slightly as he exchanged glances with the female teacher.
“Miss Chen, what do you mean?”
“The main area of the anomaly is the Louise, and I heard, Director Job, that your student has a deep connection with the Louise.”
Upon hearing this, the figure of one person appeared simultaneously in the minds of the teachers in the office, especially those who had once taught David Jones.
Is being a beast master’s pride uncommon?
For a Level I city, not so much; they annually have one or two such talented beastmasters to publicize.
But for a Level II or Level III city, especially the resource-poor Waterland City, producing a local beast master’s pride is quite a rarity, even to the extent that it can elevate the status of Waterland’s trainer community in the eyes of neighboring cities and receive more resource support from higher-level Trainer Guilds.
Altogether, these have been the years most laden with collective honor for the burgeoning beastmasters of Waterland City, because the city produced a David Jones.
A prodigy who crushed numerous geniuses from first-level cities across the nation and seized the championship.
Therefore, whenever Beast Master’s Pride List is mentioned, these teachers’ first thought is David Jones.
“But David Jones is only twenty years old this year, isn’t he?” a young teacher questioned.
The next second, he caught the odd looks from many teachers.
“You haven’t seen David Jones, so you don’t understand, with him, anything is possible!” After saying this, Director Job quickly left the office, carrying his insulated mug.
“I can’t believe a day has come when I, Ivan Job, would teach an epic strongman! No, I must go home again to look for David Jones’ notebooks. These are the valuable writings of an epic, no, a future legendary strongman. Their worth is immeasurable!” Director Job walked faster and faster.
…
Meanwhile, Gees Goldsmith stood at the Louise family villa, carefully sensing the slightly familiar aura.
“Yes, it’s David Jones’ presence!” Gees Goldsmith felt a slight heaviness in his heart.
He had been standing there for three whole days. Every time he thought about ringing the doorbell or pushing open the gate, a sharp psychic intent would send out a warning.
“Grandpa Goldsmith, how much longer must we wait?” Vivian Goldsmith grew impatient.
“Grandfather has some matters to attend to. It may take another month. You can go home first with Deity,” Gees Goldsmith said with a smile.
“Grandpa, can you tell me one thing, is the strongman breaking through inside the villa Senior David Jones?” Vivian Goldsmith asked with a mischievous glint in her eyes.
“Eight or nine out of ten,” Gees Goldsmith replied calmly.
Upon hearing this, Vivian Goldsmith’s eyes widened, and she looked towards the gate of the villa closed not far away, her heart filled with an unprecedented shock.
After a long while, Vivian Goldsmith exhaled, “Grandpa, then I’ll go back to cultivate!”
“It seems necessary to bring out the Divine Child to see the world, to cure her proud nature.” Looking at Vivian Goldsmith, who was greatly shaken, Gees Goldsmith kept a placid expression on his face, but inwardly he nodded in agreement.
Once Vivian Goldsmith disappeared under the escort of bodyguards, Gees Goldsmith couldn’t help but let out a heavy sigh, his face slightly bitter.
As the saying goes, one word from those above means endless running for those below. Besides being scapegoated and confirming identities, he was burdened with the important task of retrieving the Dragon Egg of Doom.
“Without becoming a legend, one ends up a pawn. I hope this journey goes smoothly!” Gees Goldsmith’s eyes narrowed with determination.
…
A month passed in a blink of an eye, and the residents of Waterland City had grown accustomed to the ancient dragon apparition persistently in the sky, while David Jones’ physical transformation within the Louise family villa neared its end.
Under the endless strengthening of Dragon Force, he slowly opened his eyes, which shone brilliantly as if a True Dragon was roaring within them.
The next second, waves of tremors emanated from David Jones’ Origin Star Space, and the shining Holy Oath too bloomed with intense light.
“Boom!”
At that moment, thick lightning bolts, like red dragons, furiously gathered in the dark thunderclouds, and the immense heavenly Domination spread across heaven and earth.
“Yi!” (Why does this Thunder Tribulation feel much weaker than the last one!)
Rainbow raised its head to glance at the thunderclouds.
“Mi.” (I don’t know.)
Daphne shook her head, her eyes looking towards the gathering Heavenly Tribulation.
In the next instant, something shocking happened, the ferocious Heavenly Tribulation suddenly dispersed greatly, and even the ceaseless roaring of thunder calmed down.
