The Sovereign Dragon Ring

Episode 170's

The central area of the Magical Beast Mountain Range rarely saw humans passing by. Here, ferocious beasts from the seventh to ninth rank could appear at any time. Most likely, only fighters of the ninth rank would dare to enter without permission here. But Linley, after arriving at the central region, began to embark on a journey north, along the midline of the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts. Such an incredible journey was something that even most warriors of the ninth rank would not be so wild to try.

Linley was only wearing a pair of raggedy flax pants. His upper body was naked, and he was also barefoot. On his back, he carried an adamantine heavy sword. Step by step, he continued on this path that was a little daring to step up.

As usual, Bebe stood on Linley's shoulder, scanning the nearby area.

"Dressing, rustling. ”

Linley walked through a thick layer of dried leaves, his face calm. His backpack, Bloodviolet, straight chisel, and other clothes were all stored within the interspatial ring. In Clayde's interspatial ring, aside from the massive wealth of 2.2 billion gold coins worth of magicrystal cards, there were also dozens of precious items. Even the most worthless of them were worth millions of gold coins. The wealth accumulated by the Fenlai royal clan over the centuries was indeed a frightening figure.

But for Linley?

Wealth is only worldly property. What he truly valued was his own strength. Wasn't the Dawson Conglomerate willing to directly offer him a hundred million gold coins to join them? And this was only based on the mere possibility that Linley would reach Saint-rank. To actually invite a Saint-rank to join, the price would be huge and astounding.

From this, one could tell just how important one's personal strength was.

…

Although Linley was in the core region, Linley was still wise enough to avoid the region where he could not detect magical beasts for tens of kilometers around. For such a large place within the core region of the Magical Beast Mountain Range without a magical beast most likely meant that the region was the territory of a Saint-level magical beast. Although Linley was confident, he still did not want to irritate Saint-level magical beasts.

Cutting his way through thorns and brambles, Linley did not travel at very high speed.

“Everything should start from the base. "Linley was very pragmatic. Every day, he carried an adamantine heavy sword on his back. Slicing, cutting, stabbing, swinging upwards. Linley continuously practiced with every possible move, trying relentlessly to increase his attack power.

Linley did not train using only one method.

He often pondered how to train next. Using the little information in his clan's records regarding how some of his ancestors had been trained, he tried to establish a correct training regime for himself.

The correct way of training is not to aim too high and too far.

Spring is falling, summer is fertile, autumn is cool, winter is freezing. No matter what season it was, Linley continued to only wear tattered pants, which had been torn many times due to his Dragonform transformation. Her upper body remained naked.

Linley has found something …

When he was barefoot, he could feel the earth's pulse more clearly. Standing on the ground, his heart was as stable as the vast earth itself. Linley's use for the adamantine heavy sword also began to manifest the weight of the world itself.

His upper body was naked.

Sensing the movement of air towards his body, Linley felt as if his entire body had become part of the wind itself. Wind, by its very nature, is invisible and formless. While using Bloodviolet's flexible sword, Linley felt that he was using it easier and bigger.

Because of this, Linley now exuded an aura that was as stable and unshakable and graceful as the wind. These two auras were supposed to be opposite, but the strange thing was, coming from Linley, they felt very natural and innate.

… .

Focusing mainly on the heavy swords, the second on the flexible swords, and also saving time for cutting down stones. At night, Linley would be in a trance meditation. Linley's entire life had entered a very special training regime.

Sometimes, when he saw a huge waterfall fall from the top of the Range of Magical Beast Mountains, Linley would feel excited and jump into the waterfall, training underwater.

Looking at those long and pristine rivers, Linley would often cross into their waters.

When he saw the rocks on top of the mountain peak, if Linley felt fascinated by the inspiration, he would directly climb to the top of the peak and carve the statue, probably spending several nights in each one.

… .

He does whatever he wants.

Linley's mind and spirit were more natural and more comfortable than before. Training under these conditions, Linley completely forgot the passage of time. He only felt that his strength was increasing every day, and every improvement made him feel happy and moved.

The training path is long, winding.

It is a difficult road to walk, but on this road there are constant new breakthroughs, making one feel grateful and moved.

……

Linley began to grow a beard, and his originally short hair started to grow long as well. His eyes, which had previously been filled with a proud indifferent attitude, had become calm and serene, due to the influence of coming into contact with nature for so long.

Only occasionally during practice will his eyes become very sharp.

Linley's temperament, too, had become shaped by nature to become more stable. Without Doehring Cowart's guidance, Linley had no one to rely on. Naturally, he continued to develop and become more mature.

……

"Rumb. ”

Water rumbled down from the hundred meter tall waterfall, smashing into the deep pool below, spraying water everywhere. Right next to the waterfall, there was a huge rock sticking out of the ground.

There was a person sitting cross-legged on the rock, with a heavy black sword placed on his feet.

It was dawn. The sky was just starting to clear. Within the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts, one of the things Linley enjoyed was enjoying the clear air of dawn.

"Ah .." Linley opened his eyes.

He glanced back, and saw Bebe curled up right next to him. Bebe's two small claws stuck directly onto the stone itself, to make sure there was no chance he could roll over and fall.

“Bebe, time to move. "Say Linley while laughing.

Bebe opened his eyes lazily, glancing around him. Then he shook his head, cleared it of the last remnants of sleep, and stood up. "Boss. I'm hungry . ”

"Let's go . We'll eat later. "Linley jumped off the rock. Moving gracefully like the wind itself, Linley crossed several dozen meters with that jump, landing on the opposite shore of the pond. Also jumping off the rock, Bebe turned into a black line, finally landing next to Linley's feet.

A man and a savage beast once again began their journey.

But before they went too far, Linley's footsteps suddenly came to a halt. Bebe looked at Linley with a question.

"There's a magical beast nearby. "Say Linley mentally.

Bebe stared. Bebe could now be considered an early stage magical beast of the ninth rank. In general, there were some magical beasts that could approach without him feeling it. But this time, he felt nothing.

With his feet pressing down on the earth and his ability to sense the wind, it would be difficult for anything moving nearby to not attract Linley's attention.

"The movement of this magical beast is light and graceful. I could not feel his movements on earth at all. But when it moves, it causes vibrations in the wind. "Say Linley mentally.

Bebe nodded.

… .

In particular, the movement speed of the Saint-level Electrobolt Panther made it an extremely frightening Saint-level magical beast to deal with.

Golden Tattooed Panthers were magical beasts of the seventh rank. But as a beetle-type magical beast, it naturally possessed the high speed that all beetle tigers were familiar with. Its short pouncing speed, its short distance was even superior to a magical beast of the eighth rank.

The Golden Tattooed Panther suddenly exerted pressure with its four limbs.

“Desir. ”

It jumped on top of another tree. Beetles are very skilled at running and jumping on trees, and are very famous for that. From within the dense foliage, the Golden Tattooed Panther had already seen that distant human figure.

Golden Tattooed Panther waited quietly. Waiting for humans to approach.

Indeed, the black man and Shadowmouse were starting to approach.

“Shadowmouse black? Not threats. ”The seventh level savage beast has a very high intelligence. The main focus of the Golden Tattooed Panther is the man. The aura that humans emitted had increased the attention level of the Golden Tattooed Panther. But the Golden Tattooed Panther had the feeling that this human should not be too powerful.

Indeed, in the form of his headquarters, Linley was only a late stage warrior of the seventh rank.

Generally speaking, when a magical beast of the seventh rank fought a human of the seventh rank, a magical beast would benefit.

“Desir. "Jumping from the tree trunk, the Golden Tattooed Panther turned into a ferocious golden blur, gracefully surging towards Linley.

Man who seems completely unprepared, suddenly ….

As fast as lightning, remove that adamantine heavy sword from his back while retreating! At the same time, he slashed down with that sword against the Golden Tattooed Panther with incredible strength.

Already in the middle of the jump, there was no way for the Golden Tattooed Panther to change its trajectory. The only thing he could do was do his best to move his head.

"Bam. ”

Flashing like a bolt of lightning, the adamantine heavy sword slammed the Golden Tattooed Panther's body viciously. Where he landed on the body of the Golden Tattooed Panther, a deep crack appeared. The sound of bone slamming could be heard.

With that 'bam' sound, the body of the Golden Tattooed Panther fell to the ground. It lay twitching there, blood flowing out of its mouth. But within ten seconds, the Golden Tattooed Panther did not move anymore.

Linley gracefully sheathed back his adamantine heavy sword.

"Bebe, our breakfast today will be beetle meat. "Say Linley relaxed.

To Linley and Bebe, this was just a very ordinary event. Within the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts, they would kill several magical beasts every day.

If an expert in using swords had been present, they would clearly be able to tell that Linley, despite only being a late stage warrior of the seventh rank, was a great warrior, can utilize this £ 3600 heavy sword at a very high level. Not only did the weight of the heavy sword not deter Linley, Linley could even utilize its weight to make the speed of the heavy sword blow faster.

When cutting, he could actually cut a magical beast of the seventh rank to death in a single blow. This power is astounding.

Linley and Bebe started grilling the beetle meat in the middle of the Magical Beast Range Mountain Range.

"Boss, how powerful is the most powerful attack you can now use with that heavy sword? A few days ago, you said you had a breakthrough. "Bebe asked.

They had been in the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts for over a year now. During this year, Linley's mind had become one with nature, and he had completely immersed himself in his training. This one and a half years of training had improved his abilities very quickly.

“My most powerful attack? It's hard to say . Speaking in more general terms, I should be able to fight most magical beasts of the eighth rank in human form alone. "Said Linley confidently.

This is not arrogance. It is a belief in his own strength.

“The beetle's meat smells really good. Bebe sniffed the air with his nose.

"Hmm?" Linley frowned, then suddenly laughed. "Bebe, when we roast meat, we often attract the attention of wild animals. Merely, this time, this magical beast seemed to be quite slow and awkward. ”

After waiting for a while, Linley and Bebe finally saw a magical beast appear.

Velocidragonfronts.

"The velocidragon?" Linley started laughing. Linley was now quite familiar with the Velocidragons. Despite being magical beasts of the seventh rank, they had extremely strong defenses. Although both of them were ranked seventh, the Velocidragon defense was much more formidable than the defense of the Golden Tattooed Panther. But in turn, the Golden Tattooed Panther was much faster than the Velocidragon.

"Boss, you said that your attack power is very high right now. Do you think you can cut Velocidragon to death with a single sword attack? "Suddenly Bebe said.

The Velocidragon scales were nearly half a meter thick, and the skull bones were extremely hard and dense. Although the Velocidragons were quite slow, their defense could match an ordinary ferocious beast of rank eight.

"One sword blow? I haven't tested it. Let me try it. ”

Linley pulled the adamantine heavy sword from the scabbard on his back, then started walking step by step towards Velocidragon.

Velocidragon is two stories high and nearly twenty meters long. Compared to this enormous creature, Linley was nothing more than a tiny speck.

"Groooooowls. "Velocidragon roared furiously at Linley.

But holding the adamantine heavy sword in his hand, Linley continued walking towards the Velocidragon, one step barefoot at a time.

Suddenly ….

Linley's movements accelerated dramatically as he charged into the Velocidragon. Letting out a furious roar, the Velocidragon sent its draconic tail whipping towards Linley. The Velocidragon tail is a very fast weapon.

"ABout. "Linley's "heavy sword adamantine suddenly moved at high speed and blocked the draconic tail.

Despite the immense hitting power of the Velocidragon tail, Linley jumped off the ground, borrowing the power of the tail to fly above the Velocidragon.

"Uh, is this human?" The Velocidragon was surprised to find that the man in front of him had used the adamantine heavy sword that was as easy and natural as the grass that was bent by the wind. And now, the man directly smashed into his head with a sword.

Velocidragon is very confident. His skull, however, was the heaviest part of his body.

Indeed indeed…

When that nimble, flowing black sword touched his skull, it did not harm the Velocidragon at all. But suddenly, just as when it touched the skull, an extremely powerful force burst out from the sword. Like a flood suddenly crashing into a dam, that astonishing power flowed at once. It just heard a 'crack' sound, and then everything went dark.

Bebe watched this scene in astonishment.

Linley only smashed into the skull, the heaviest part of the Velocidragon's body, with a single blow from his sword. And then, the head of the Velocidragon split like a fragile egg, with brain matter and blood flowing out. The large, powerful body of the Velocidragon slumped to the ground, as Linley gracefully landed as well.

"Boss! Waw! You're that strong now? ”Bebe running with joy.

Linley laughed. “Over the past year, I have almost been able to perfectly combine my own strength with my Dragonblood battle-qi. And then, based on what I have learned from my connection to earth, I broke through the simple level of using 'strength' and 'battle-qi'. I have come to the level described by the ancestors of the Baruch clan as 'holding the heavy as if light'. Only now, I have managed to develop this technique: 'Petir'.
