Chapter 519: A Confrontation with an Ancient Powerhouse
"Hello, senior!"
This staring contest couldn't go on, so Cang Nian could only offer an awkward but polite smile and greet them.
After leaping over the tenth Dragon Gate, Cang Nian felt the terrifying resistance that had been gripping his throat from all directions disappear.
Moreover, he didn't even need to fly himself; a gentle force lifted him up.
"Ah—!!! How can it be a junior from the Tiger Clan! Where are the prodigies of my Dragon Clan?!"
Seeing Cang Nian greet him, the dragon phantom stopped staring at him, but then it glared at him with its beard bristling.
Judging from its tone, it was in considerable distress.
This made Cang Nian's heart tighten.
Hopefully, I won't lose my reward.
Otherwise, wouldn't all my efforts to leap over the tenth dragon gate be for nothing?
"Ahem... Senior, the dragon clan's prodigies are all down below."
Seeing the dragon phantom so angry, Cangnian stretched out his claws, pointed downwards, and kindly reminded it.
"They're just two juniors who only managed to leap over the ninth Dragon Gate! They can't be called prodigies at all!"
There was no need to even look at the phantom of the dragon; he was just disappointed in it.
However, what it said was also the truth.
Leaping over the ninth Dragon Gate is merely the threshold to becoming a dragon.
If there are no juniors who can leap over the ninth dragon gate, then the pure-blooded dragon race will all become extinct!
"..."
Cang Nian opened his mouth to this, but then wisely kept it closed.
When the elders of the dragon clan say that their younger generation is useless, it's inappropriate for an outsider like myself to interrupt.
It might even be seen as a provocation.
Old Biden, look!
I, an outsider, have leaped over the tenth Dragon Gate, while you young dragons can only leap over the ninth. Is the dragon race incapable?
Ok……
Whatever you say to the dragon phantom that's raging above your head will likely have the same effect.
"So be it... Since you, a junior, have leaped over the tenth Dragon Gate, then the opportunity I left behind should be given to you."
Seeing Cangnian sitting upright like a well-behaved child, the dragon phantom couldn't muster any anger. It sighed and then said helplessly.
Upon hearing this, Cangnian's tail, which had been hanging low, began to leisurely circle in mid-air.
This is great!
What a magnanimous senior!
"I wonder if any of the younger dragons in other dragon palaces will be able to inherit what I left behind..."
Enough, young tiger clan. Our dragon and tiger clans have been on good terms for generations.
Today, you have used your skills to seize what I left behind from the younger generation of my dragon clan, so this benefit is naturally yours.
But from now on you'll have to take care of my younger dragons.
"If there is a conflict with a junior member of my dragon clan, unless it is a matter of life and death, their life must be spared. This is the third time. After that, I will not impose any further restrictions. What do you say?"
Seeing Cangnian's barely concealed joy, the dragon phantom muttered to itself for a moment before speaking seriously.
Upon hearing this, Cang Nian began to ponder.
The Dragon Clan and the Tiger Clan have been on good terms for generations since ancient times, but Cang Nian has no way of verifying this, since it is unclear whether there were any dragons before the spiritual energy revival.
However, taking care of the younger generation of dragons...
This is no problem.
Ao Tian is a member of the Dragon Clan and has already recognized me as his elder brother. How can an elder brother not protect his younger brother?
As for sparing the lives of the younger dragons who had no life-or-death grudge against him three times in the future...
This doesn't seem too difficult.
Now, there is a junior dragon below who has a conflict with him, but it doesn't quite amount to a life-or-death feud.
Of course, it was because I rescued them in time, preventing the feud between the two sides from escalating to a point of no return.
Having leaped over the tenth dragon gate, I wonder what the blue dragon thought.
However, if it is still hostile to me, then I will beat it up!
That way, we'll spare its life!
If it still doesn't submit, then beat it again. If you don't kill it, then you've spared its life again!
If you're still not satisfied, then we'll beat you up again!
In this way, after three complete fulfillments, one will no longer be bound by the agreement!
Hehe, I'm such a clever little devil!
Cang Nian was secretly delighted when he figured out how to exploit the bug.
"No problem! Senior, as you know, the Tiger Clan and the Dragon Clan have been friendly to each other since ancient times."
I will definitely take good care of the younger generation of dragons!
However, on the surface, Cang Nian still spoke with a serious expression.
"I was quite powerful when I was alive, and my last wish after death is to communicate with heaven and earth. Tiger Clan junior, don't even think about being two-faced with me."
Upon hearing this, the dragon phantom paused for several seconds before speaking softly.
"Ahem, how could I dare to deceive you, senior! I'm telling you the truth!"
However… could you please guide me, senior, on what realms lie ahead in my cultivation, and how to progress through them?
After being told that by the blue dragon, Cangnian coughed awkwardly twice and then changed the subject.
But he was filled with horror!
This dragon elder must be incredibly powerful!
But judging from its meaning, it seems to have already perished?
What kind of enemy could possibly kill such a powerful being?
Is such an enemy still alive?
Will they ever reappear on Earth?
Cang Nian was filled with questions, but dared not ask them.
He was afraid that if he touched on the dragon phantom's painful past, he would be doomed.
"Then I will take this as your acceptance of my conditions."
As for the realm of cultivation... you'll have to experience it for yourself.
Get stronger as soon as possible. I hope you won't repeat our mistakes and suffer the same crushing defeat.
The dragon phantom raised its eyelids slightly, then sighed.
After saying that, its enormous body, which stretched across the heavens and the earth, suddenly shrank.
In a short while, it transformed into a three-foot-long, cyan-gold dragon-shaped phantom.
hold head high--! ! !
Then, the dragon-shaped phantom let out a dragon's roar and drilled towards Cang Nian's heart!
[Ding! Azure Dragon True Blood has been detected invading the host! The host will transform into an Azure Dragon!]
[Ding! The Azure Dragon's true bloodline is in conflict with the host's White Tiger divine beast bloodline. The invasion of the Azure Dragon's true bloodline has been stopped!]
Then, two somewhat familiar system notification sounds rang in Cang Nian's mind!
However, Cang Nian was not flustered by this.
This Dogecoin system is just making a lot of noise.
All non-dragon beings who leap over the Dragon Gate and receive the reward of dragon blood will absorb it at different levels depending on the individual!
They're only inferior to dragons who are perfectly matched by blood!
This Dogecoin system is just shamelessly claiming credit!
[Ding~! White Tiger Stance skill proficiency +1 million! (1 million/1 million)]
[Ding! Congratulations, host! Your White Tiger Stance skill proficiency has reached maximum. This skill has evolved into—White Tiger Divine Might!]
[Ding~! White Tiger Divine Might skill proficiency +3814 million! (3814 million/10 billion)]
But after a moment, a series of system notifications came to Cang Nian's mind.
