Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

Chapter 556: Chapter 208: “In fact, I won the bet!

“You’re awake.”

It was hard to tell how much time had passed.

By the spring, the middle-aged man in the rocking chair fanned himself casually with a palm-leaf fan and said nonchalantly, “Don’t move too hastily, the Dragon Scales have just been stripped, it must be painful.”

The Black Dragon groggily awoke in the spring water and instinctively looked at his wounds. Seeing that his wounds had almost completely healed, a glint of excitement flickered in his eyes.

His gamble had paid off!

But his excitement soon turned to confusion. Looking at his body, he saw that his dragon form was once again covered with pitch-black scales. He could feel that these scales were harder than before.

But he clearly remembered that his scales had been shattered.

Why had they grown back so quickly, and become even stronger than before?

He quickly figured it out.

It must be the water in the spring beneath him. He could feel the rich Life Force within it, and only then did he roll excitedly in the water several times.

Then, with a look of eagerness, he turned to look at the middle-aged man on the rocking chair by the spring.

“Senior.”

“I am ready. Let’s start the second round!”

…

“Second round?”

The middle-aged man by the spring, lying on the rocking chair, shook his head and laughed, “What second round? The first round is all there is.”

“To be honest with you.”

“The content of the first round was not to defeat me at all. It was merely to endure the pain of having all the Dragon Scales shattered. As long as one could endure it, they would pass.”

“And thereby receive this legacy of the Dragon Clan.”

“Who would’ve thought you, little guy, would actually aim to defeat me? How could a Young Dragon dare to think of defeating a giant dragon in its prime!”

“So… does that mean I have already passed the legacy trial?”

“Yes.”

“So I can now immediately mature and achieve Divinity Transformation, and transform?”

“Yes.”

The Black Dragon’s breathing grew rapid and then he started to roll excitedly in the water, unable to wait to return to Dragon Island.

Let Ao Tian see!

Let Fat Long see!

Let everyone see that he, the Black Dragon, has achieved Divinity Transformation!

Those Dragon Pups still needed Fat Long’s methods to achieve Divinity Transformation in a year, but he, the Black Dragon, by his own strength, without relying on anyone else, had broken through!

The comparison of strength and weakness was clear at a glance.

Even if that batch of Dragon Pups matured after a year, he, the Black Dragon, would still be the boss!

Afterward, the Black Dragon lifted his head out of the water and excitedly said to the middle-aged man on the shore, “Then let me share a secret with you.”

“Actually, I let you sense that killing intent on purpose. I can make it so that not a trace of it is revealed.”

“Heh.”

The man in the rocking chair on the shore, with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, glanced sideways at the Black Dragon, “Little guy, I’m already quite satisfied with you. There’s no need to fish for compliments. I don’t like liars.”

“It’s true.”

The Black Dragon insisted earnestly.

“Oh?” The middle-aged man closed his eyes, swayed the palm-leaf fan casually, and said, “Then tell me why you deliberately showed your killing intent. If you hadn’t, that strike could have seriously injured my eye, with no need for anything else. Why bother making it more complicated.”

A smug look crossed the Black Dragon’s eyes, and he said with pride.

“Because you, Senior, are a prime giant dragon with far superior strength. So, even though you are only fighting with physical strength, you still look down upon me, or rather, you underestimate me.”

“If I did not show any killing intent and suddenly launched an attack at your eye, you would instinctively dodge completely with your Divinity Transformation Cultivation. It’s an instinct.”

“But on the other hand, if I revealed a bit of killing intent, allowing you to sense my attack in advance, then you would not use your Divinity Transformation Cultivation to fully avoid the attack; you would just make sure not to get your eye pierced.”

“This was taught to me by someone on Dragon Island.”

“He said, if you want to lift someone’s roof off, they certainly won’t agree, but if you change your proposal to adding a window, they may just accept it.”

“If I initially aimed to scratch you, you would definitely instinctively dodge. But if I aimed for piercing your eye, you would feel that getting scratched isn’t too bad.”

“And at that time, I could only launch one strike.”

“I could only gamble.”

“I gambled that you wouldn’t want to reveal your Divinity Transformation Cultivation just to avoid a mere scratch.”

“In fact—”

“I won the bet!”

…

“…”

The man who had been lying on the rocking chair by the shore with his eyes closed, casually waving his palm-leaf fan, suddenly froze it mid-air after hearing Black Dragon’s explanation.

He stood up.

Sitting in the rocking chair, he narrowed his eyes and looked at the Black Dragon soaking in the water. After a while, he started laughing, “Interesting, but you got one thing wrong. Even if you attacked me without revealing any killing intent, without using my Divinity Transformation Cultivation, you would still not be able to pierce my eyeball.”

“But what I’m more curious about is this.”

“You said just now that you could hide all your killing intent.”

“Do you know what that means? Even I find it hard to do that. For a Cloud Hiding Dragon, to completely conceal one’s killing intent is to become the most terrifying assassin in this world.”

“Tell me how you think you can do it?”

“Quite simple.” The Black Dragon said solemnly, “Because I don’t actually have any killing intent towards you, Senior, how could there be any to leak?”

“…”

The middle-aged man was taken aback and then chuckled, “Never mind, I thought you really had some special means. That works with me, but can you do the same with others?”
