The Strongest Dragon in the Era of Beast Taming

As a legendary powerhouse, George Victory could naturally tell that someone was breaking through to King in the Beast Refining Tower, not breaking through to Epic.

But the question arose!

Just what kind of prodigy could cause such a commotion while breaking through to King, devouring so much heavenly and earthly arcane force that even the Saint Crystals were experiencing an accelerated depletion of energy!

At that thought, George Victory slightly retracted his gaze, his face showing a hint of amazement as he fell into deep thought.

Let’s be real, which of the legendary Beast Tamers who had gone through trials and tribulations to reach the summit within the Flowery Kingdom wasn’t a prodigious youth!

When he was studying at Rosewood College, he was among the top tier of prodigious Beast Tamers in the Flowery Kingdom, leading the Rosewood College team to win the national competition three years in a row, establishing a three-time champion dynasty; at that time, he was considered the strongest of his generation.

Usually, George Victory wouldn’t pay attention to each year’s number one freshman at Rosewood College, because how could any new student’s talent, however strong, surpass his own peerless genius?

Only those who had reached a certain level, such as having broken through to Epic and possessing the potential to strive for Legend, were worthy of his attention as excellent graduates.

But now, sensing the presence before him, as heavy as mountains and comparable to the full outburst of an Epic powerhouse, George Victory fell silent, suddenly feeling an unprecedented sense of melancholy.

The waves behind drive on those before, in world affairs, newcomers replace the old!

Lucky for him, he was born early enough not to have to compete with the young prodigies in the cultivation room for resources and destiny.

Otherwise, if he had to compete with such exceptional talents in this era, let alone becoming the leading figure in the hearts of countless Beast Tamers, he might have had his spirit almost completely crushed.

“I was too young back then, believing myself unbeatable in the extraordinary occurrences during my rise to King, but it turns out I didn’t even have a fifth of the spectacle before me.”

George Victory shook his head, starting to feel sorry for the Beast Taming geniuses born in this era.

As for why George Victory was so certain that the Beast Tamer inside the cultivation room was so young, it wasn’t because he was well-acquainted with the students and faculty of Rosewood, but because he could discern from the thick, towering, exuberant aura of the anomaly between heaven and earth that the age of the person breaking through definitely did not exceed twenty-five.

“Such a person is already on par with the First Emperor.”

George Victory smacked his lips in admiration, deciding to give up on cultivation and wait here for the person.

Before long, the figures of Rosewood College’s Vice Chancellor Blake Easton and Virgil Harvey also started to appear near where he stood.

Clearly, as the legendary treasure of Rosewood College, the occurrence of such an anomaly in the Tower of Refining Beasts had warranted the direct attention of two legendary powerhouses to check on the situation.

The powerhouses present were all legends; there was no need for words—just a sweep of their spiritual sense was enough to understand what was happening here!

Blake Easton looked at the oppressively familiar door of “Heaven No. 3,” suddenly recalling the Buddha Token he had previously given to Lilith Hoyle.

“Could it be! I remember that token for Lilith was for a new student, how could they have broken through to King already?”

Blake Easton did have some impression of this year’s top new student, David Jones; if he remembered correctly, David Jones’ Origin Star Grade was initially a Class III apex SSS-rank, light-years away from a Class VI King.

“Lilith wouldn’t have fed David Jones a Six-turns Golden Elixir, right!” The possibility made Blake Easton’s mouth twitch involuntarily.

A Six-turns Golden Elixir could create an Epic powerhouse and even add a glimmer of hope for an Epic powerhouse’s breakthrough to Legend. Considering Lilith Hoyle’s reckless nature, it indeed might be possible that she gave a Six-turns Golden Elixir to her favored disciple.

The fact that an ordinary mortal couldn’t withstand the immense power of a Six-turns Golden Elixir was conveniently ignored by Blake Easton.

As strong as the Six-turns Golden Elixir might be, it’s still just an elixir; if a legendary powerhouse is willing to spend precious Acane Energy to help, even an Elite Beast Tamer could have a chance at refining it.

…

Inside the cultivation room, David Jones slowly opened his eyes, completely unaware of the increasingly wild speculation outside.

“I’ve succeeded!” David Jones’ smile grew wider and wider.

Compared to his physical body becoming King, the Arcane Star becoming King was a completely different experience for David Jones, making it hard for him to contain his joy.

“Eep!”

“Meow!”

“Baa!”

“Roar!”

“Chirp!”

The little ones congratulated the Trainer on his breakthrough.

The Gluttonous Beast had even ascended from Class III middle-level to Class III upper-level due to the feedback from David Jones’s advancement in his beast taming contract.

Before David Jones had the chance to celebrate his breakthrough with the little ones, continuous tremors of his innate talent kept transmitting from the depths of the Origin Star Space, leading him to greatly anticipate and sense the huge transformation of his talent with his mind.

“First off, my Spirit Eye talent has gained a new characteristic!”

David Jones’s eyes slightly opened, revealing faintly golden light swirling in his pupils, which made Lolo’s emerald-green eyes flash with a hint of curiosity.

The changes in the Trainer’s Spirit Eye seemed to share some common ground with his ability to refine beasts.

[Illusion-Piercing Eye – Furnace]: When actively invoking the furnace characteristic, the Illusion-Piercing Eye can gather and store the energy of all things it can see through and release that energy at will.

Even elusive elixir souls and Immortal Power could be devoured and stored by the Spirit Eye Furnace.

Upon operating the furnace and perceiving the tiny space hidden within his eyes, David Jones couldn’t help but feel slightly stunned.

An energy-storage characteristic, huh?

This effect doesn’t quite match with the Spirit Eye!

Besides, the Spirit Eye itself can evolve by devouring elixir souls, so what’s the difference between using the Spirit Eye to store elixir souls and asking a hungry wolf to guard sheep?

With this thought, David Jones directly activated the Afterglow Array, igniting a flame in his right palm, refining the S tier Starfall Elixir with one hand.

“Not bad, it seems about one-thirtieth of the stored elixir soul will be instinctively absorbed by the Spirit Eye.”

Keeping the Starfall Elixir’s soul stored, David Jones lowered his gaze to Daphne.

“Can you try activating the Furnace Spirit Eye?”

Since Daphne had previously been able to use the power of the Illusion-Piercing Eye through the Beast Taming Contract to absorb the elixir soul, she could naturally attempt to use the furnace to collect elixir souls.

Daphne blinked dozens of times, realizing that nothing was happening.

“Meow?” (It doesn’t seem to work?)

Daphne tilted her head, looking somewhat dejected.

“Practice slowly, there’s no rush.”

After rubbing Daphne’s head, David Jones urged the Dragon-Wielding Power, continuing to sense his innate talent, which had undergone transformation.

Indeed, as a possessor of multiple talents, David Jones’s Spirit Eye had evolved, and his Dragon-Wielding Power had also changed.

However, this time the Dragon-Wielding Power didn’t awaken a new characteristic but instead, it strengthened the characteristic [Dragon Dance].

[King’s Dance of Dragons]: Allows using Dragon-Wielding Power to exceed limits and strengthen a dragon pet’s power for breaking through their class, the more Dragon-Wielding Power used, the greater the short-term power increase for the Dragon-type Pet, no upper limit to this increase.

In the presence of a King’s majesty, all dragons submit: Facing dragon-type beasts with strength lower than one’s own, a strong affinity and domination have a certain probability of causing dragon-type beasts to automatically submit to the owner.

Note: Using this on a dragon pet already bound by a Beast Taming Contract carries a certain chance of provoking a rebellion, causing the pet to disobey commands, or even attempt to break the contract.
