The Strongest Dragon in the Era of Beast Taming

“Yi?” (Why isn’t there any reaction?)

Sensing the curious gaze of the Trainer, Daphne closed her eyes, and the scarcely perceptible, holy and unpredictable Power of Destiny inside her burst forth, attempting to split off a part of her own Destiny and transfer it to the avatar before her.

One second, two seconds, three seconds…

Watching Daphne strenuously contend with her avatar, David Jones smiled.

“Don’t rush, you can try slowly.”

Daphne had extremely high Talent and always managed to master new skills with ease. Even the challenging Holy Entanglement did not stump her, but to her surprise, the Destiny Avatar seemed to be a stumbling block.

“Meow!” (Give me a few minutes!)

Daphne, refusing to believe in defeat, went all out, entering the posture of Holy Entanglement, with terrifying Arcane Force fluctuations that almost knocked over the jade bottles filled with elixirs in the Alchemy Chamber.

Fortunately, Rainbow timely activated its mighty Psychic Power to stabilize and prevent the potion bottles from dropping and shattering.

Throughout Daphne’s process of unrestrainedly exerting her full power, the closed eyes of the young cat avatar suddenly opened, and a strange familiarity swept over David Jones.

His gaze shifted back and forth between Daphne and the Destiny Avatar, revealing a hint of joy on his face.

Fluffy +1!

A Pet that can contain elixir soul +1!

“Meow!” (It’s like looking at my former self!)

Controlling the Destiny Avatar to look at herself, Daphne suddenly felt like she was looking in a mirror.

The next second, their left and right, big and small, tender pink cat paws extended out and touched each other simultaneously.

“Try and see if the Destiny Avatar can borrow the power of the Spirit Eye Furnace.” David Jones interrupted Daphne’s curious actions and led her to the Alchemy Hall.

In the hall filled with volcanic ground fire, Yolanda York, who was concocting a Class II S tier elixir called the Star-forging Elixir, noticed the approach of David Jones and the others, causing her usually steady hands to suddenly tremble.

Seeing this, David Jones stopped in his tracks and stood at a distance to observe, so as not to disturb Yolanda and risk ruining a batch of elixirs that was about to be crafted.

“Buzz!”

Under the purification of the Pharmacy Flame, the slightly glowing essence of the herbal ingredients inside the alchemy furnace successfully fused.

Minutes later, with a gentle green glimmer flowing like tide inside the crucible, two green, spherical Star-forging Elixirs were immediately controlled by Yolanda to land in the jade bottle.

But compared to the Star-forging Elixir, what David Jones cared more about was the elixir soul that naturally formed in the instant the elixirs materialized.

“Mew!”

As Daphne’s thoughts moved, the Destiny Avatar in front of her, only one-fifth her size, suddenly opened its eyes wide, and a stream of light gold shone swirling in its diamond-like pupils.

“Because it’s an avatar, and also because it’s borrowing my own Talent, there will be a ten percent loss when absorbing the elixir soul, which is barely acceptable.”

The corner of David Jones’s mouth curved into a smile.

From now on, he no longer needed to have Daphne travel back and forth between the dormitory and the Purple Haze Club, and even out on adventures, there was no need to regret the wasted elixir soul at the Purple Haze Club.

“President!”

Rosalind Louise stood up and greeted him, her beautiful eyes curiously looking at the large and small pair of identical silver dolls beside the president.

…

While David Jones and Daphne were researching the Destiny Avatar and the absorption of elixir soul, news of Rosewood College’s team winning the National Trainer Cooperation Competition championship had spread throughout the country thanks to deliberate publicity by the Trainer Guild.

David Jones’ name, if not known to everyone in the country, was at least a household name in Waterland City.

In Waterland City, everyone from ninety-nine-year-old elders to three-year-old toddlers who had just learned to walk—even if they didn’t know what a Frost Wyvern was or what the national collegiate competition entailed—knew that a mighty figure had emerged from their hometown.

Meanwhile, in the suburbs of Waterland City, on the Louise family’s grounds.

In a tidy and spacious laboratory, Rosalind’s expression was full of solemnity as she stared intently at the crystal tube in front of her, within which a deep red with a hint of silver light was flowing.

Upon closer inspection, the large screen to the right of Rosalind flickered with jumping characters; amongst the numerous characters, one column read “Experimental Subject: Destiny Dragondoll.”

Clearly, the deep red liquid stored in the crystal tube was Daphne’s blood.

“Still not successful?”

Even knowing that his question might disturb his daughter’s experiment, the thought that the Louise family’s dream of thousands of years was about to be realized made Gregory Louise unable to suppress the urgency in his heart.

After all, if a juvenile from the Ultimate Emperor lineage were to fully grow up, it could allow a trainer family to flourish for ten thousand years, shine gloriously through an age, and even take the place of the reigning power during the dynastic changes in the Flowery Kingdom.

“Research work is nearing completion, and the Fire Arcane Force concentration in the Destiny Dragondoll’s blood is also approaching the limit of a Class VII Overlord. Now it’s just a matter of whether we can successfully open that gate,” Rosalind said.

At this, Rosalind pressed a button in front of her, and the virtual screen display changed to reveal a desolate desert where the Louise family had hidden an ancient relic for thousands of years.

In order to fully explore this relic, the Louise family had paid a huge price, even forsaking the opportunity to develop in the Level I city of Suntomb City, and instead built the Louise Research Institute on the outskirts of Waterland City.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As Rosalind deactivated some of the less important mechanisms, layer upon layer of closely guarded and concealed Rune Circles slowly dissipated, revealing a majestic building that had existed since ancient times, exuding an overwhelming sense of oppression.

Clearly, if not for the Circle’s concealment, this ancient relic secretly excavated by the Louise family would have already been discovered by the Waterland Trainer Guild.

“I hope we succeed this time!”

Rosalind used a Mechinery Pet to observe the relic’s closely shut core gate, a flicker of nervousness and anticipation in her eyes.

Using the research of the Overlord’s evolutionary path as an excuse could only fool people temporarily but not forever.

After all, the Waterland Trainer Guild was no easy opponent. No matter how secretly the Louise family purchased resources, the longer it took, the greater the chance of exposure.

If not for the fact that Waterland City was a remote and desolate place where not even birds would defecate, limiting the attention of King-rank powerhouses and the Trainer Guild.

Moreover, thanks to the Louise family’s continuous growth over thousands of years, drawing upon the power of the relic, their family strength gradually increased, ensuring each generation’s head of the Louise family was at least a King-rank powerhouse, able to maintain some power during times of regime change; otherwise, the ancient relic would have long been exposed to all powerhouses.

“Click-clack! Click-clack!”

Under Rosalind’s manipulation, door after door within the ancient relic began to open, one after another.

Obviously, after years of maintenance and exploration by the Louise family, the hidden mechanisms inside the relic had not been damaged by the passage of time and were still functioning normally.

The Mechinery Pet carrying the crystal tube, “Wandering Wings,” approached the relic’s final crimson gate under the watchful, tense eyes of Gregory and Rosalind Louise, and opened the switch on the crystal tube.
