The Strongest Dragon in the Era of Beast Taming

Chapter 830: Chapter 824: Fire Bodhi Seed

At the entrance of Mountain Rosewood, stood The Tower of Refining Beasts.

Students gathered under a towering, pitch-black spire that pierced the clouds.

The opening of The Tower of Refining Beasts always attracted the attention of students from the Flowery Kingdom’s Big Five universities.

Some of the freshmen capable of making it onto the leaderboard could become overnight sensations, earning countless praises and adulations, thus becoming the genius Trainers everyone watched.

Thus, upon learning that the Beast Refining Tower was opening today, both old and new students of Rosewood, regardless of whether they had any credits, would invite groups of friends to watch and participate.

“I wonder if we could encounter senior David Jones today.”

Gazing up at the name atop the leaderboard on the screen, a new student said with admiration.

David Jones might not be the strongest Trainer in the Beast Master World now, but he certainly was the most trending and legendary Trainer in the country.

He even had numerous fans abroad, which made Rosewood College exceptionally hard to get into this year.

“Don’t get your hopes up, senior David Jones is now a Dragon Subduing Deity with legendary combat prowess. Why would he care about The Tower’s trial?” an older student said dismissively, glancing at the speaking junior.

“Don’t talk nonsense.”

Hearing these disheartening words, the girl’s face showed a trace of dissatisfaction.

“Come on, rather than depending on luck outside the Beast Refining Tower, you might as well try joining the Purple Haze Club,” the senior suggested.

The girl instinctively looked ahead at the space, where a group of extraordinary Trainers was waiting.

“Do you think I haven’t tried? You know how difficult it is to get into the Purple Haze Club!” she couldn’t help but complain.

Just then, a streak of black light descended from the sky at an unbelievable speed.

“Is that the Infinite Dragon Emperor?”

“Such a terrifying aura!” exclaimed several powerhouses among the spectating crowd.

However, the vast majority of the new students lacked such discerning eyes.

They only saw a flash of black light, and a cold, mechanical steel Black Dragon, constructed from precise technology, thunderously appeared.

Its wings, like flames of red blood, brought an indescribable shock and visual impact to all the students present.

Feeling the aura of the powerful, some new students couldn’t help swallowing hard, their eyes filled with longing and fervor.

“This is the Dragon Subduing Deity!!!”

At this very moment, at the topmost floor of The Tower of Refining Beasts, George Victory, the tower guardian, stared straight at the figure atop the Mecha Dragon Emperor, his mouth slightly agape and his face incredulous.

“David… David Jones?”

After speaking, he incredulously looked down at the small golden bell.

The time was right; it was neither ten years, nor a hundred, just one year had passed since their last meeting!

Yet David Jones had advanced from a King Trainer to an Epic Trainer, even giving him the illusion of being invincible.

The world has gone mad!

George Victory, his confidence shaken, promptly struck the small golden bell to officially start the Beast Refining Tower, then turned and rushed into the cultivation room without looking back.

He was determined to enter a rigorous retreat!

He would not emerge until he became a Deity Trainer!

“Boom!”

As the golden bell rang, the ground began to shake and an arcane force storm emerged. The tightly shut doors of the Beast Refining Tower slowly opened.

Seeing this, David Jones bid farewell to the team’s leader, Margaret Yule, and rode the Gluttonous Beast into the tower door first, immediately starting the Inheritance Trial.

“Buzz!”

With the world spinning around him, David Jones appeared in the familiar Pharmacy Hall.

“Eeek!” “Meow!”

Smelling the fragrance of the Bodhi Mist, Rainbow and Daphne exchanged glances, each seeing the fighting spirit in the other’s eyes.

They certainly hadn’t forgotten the scene of their crushing defeat.

“Don’t let your guard down, stay alert to our surroundings,” he said.

Having said that, David Jones strode ahead.

“Boom!” A dazzling beam of light suddenly descended from above the Pharmacy Hall.

“Is this the extent of your strength?” David Jones narrowed his eyes as he watched the column of light rapidly approaching.

Things were different now; the deadly attack that once posed a threat to him was now like a mere breeze in his eyes.

“Meow!”

Daphne erupted with an intense aura, her eyes filled with flames, creating a splendid guard using Swallow Flame, and charged straight towards the descending light pillar.

Boom!

The brilliant column of light instantly shattered, revealing a fierce fire monkey covered in crimson fur, with eyes like two burning crystals of gold, rebellious and untamed.

“Inheritance Trial Rank VII: Kill the Bodhi Fire Monkey or gain its recognition to obtain a Bodhi Seed and smoothly clear the level,” a voice timely echoed in David Jones’s mind.

“Pet Name”: Bodhi Fire Monkey

“Pet Type”: Fire, Wood

“Species Level”: King

“Grade”: Class VI apex

“Normal Arcane Force Value”: 1,200,000

“Pet Profile”: A Spirit Monkey that was born from the fall of a Bodhi Seed, it’s also a guardian beast of the Treasured Bodhi Tree, possessing substantial combat power.

After viewing the information with his Golden Eyes of Flame, David Jones felt a stirring in him.

The ancient records stated that the Treasured Bodhi Trees were innately sacred and protected by many beasts; the weakest among these beasts were Class VI apex Kings, while the strongest were Eighth Order Quasi-Gods.

It was clear that the intensity of the Inheritance Trial at Rank VII wasn’t enough; it could only summon a Class VI apex King.

“It’s a good thing I didn’t rush in last time, or it would have been suffering in vain,” David Jones glanced towards Daphne.

“Purgatory Aurora!”

As David Jones’s thought took hold, a vast and boundless aura of fire erupted from within Daphne’s eyes. She sent a beam of purgatory aurora that penetrated the Bodhi Fire Monkey’s fire-type skill and struck it directly.

“Boom!”

The Bodhi Fire Monkey let out a roar of frustration, gripping the aurora in its hands, disregarding the scorching pain from its palms as it tried to crush the aurora.

But resistance was futile in the face of such a massive difference in strength.@@novelbin@@

Even though the Bodhi Fire Monkey was a Fire-type King with notable resistance to flames, it still began to melt under the overwhelming forces unleashed by Daphne, revealing a Bodhi Seed infused with intensely hot energy.

“Fire Bodhi”: A Level VII Fire resource, Beasts can become stronger by carrying and contacting the Fire Bodhi, enhancing vitality, compatibility, and the power of Fire-type skills. It can also be directly consumed for refining, repairing flaws in a beast’s Fire-type bloodline.

Daphne licked her lips excitedly as she picked up the Fire Bodhi from the ground, hoping to hand it over to David Jones, only to notice the Trainer’s frown.

“Meow?” (What’s wrong?)

“It’s nothing, I might be overthinking it,” David Jones shook his head and looked at the portal passage that had appeared not too far away.

If the test of the Inheritance Trial at Rank VIII was a mere standard Level VII Overlord, then he could easily clear all the levels. But he always had this ominous premonition.

Snuffing out the thought in his mind, David Jones didn’t dwell on it any longer.

He smiled, accepted the Fire Bodhi, took out a primordial gold necklace from the Star Ring, set the Bodhi into the necklace, and personally placed it around Daphne’s neck.

“Not bad,” David Jones nodded slightly, quite satisfied with his handiwork.

The next second, he felt the burning gaze of the five pets.

“Don’t worry, after we get out, one for each dragon, I promise!” David Jones compromised in his thoughts as he stepped through the portal passage.

“Hum!”

As the teleportation ended, the familiar sensation in the high sky caused David Jones’s body to stiffen.
