"I won't tell you, what can you do about it?" Dragon Duel had quite an arrogant attitude!
"You..."
Wang Long was so angry he could barely speak. He wanted to beat that brat up, but unfortunately, Dragon Duel no longer had a physical form, and Dragon Soul was still nestled within him. Even if he harmed himself, it wouldn't hurt it; instead, it would only bring him suffering. He really had no way to deal with it.
Dragon Duel understood this as well, which is why it confidently revealed the truth to Wang Long and occasionally acted like a big shot.
"Alright, alright, I won't argue with you anymore. However, I hope we can coexist peacefully. After all, for a long time to come, I won't be leaving this body of yours. We are essentially a community of shared interests—if you become stronger until one day you can release me, that is also my goal. Do you agree?"
"I agree. You want freedom, and I want to grow stronger. Our goals are not contradictory; they actually complement each other. I support your principle that there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. So now, can you tell me what abilities or methods you have to help me grow stronger?" Everyone understands the big principles, and he was eager to become stronger right now, so he agreed to this equal treaty without hesitation.
"Those who achieve great things do not sweat the small stuff; the young can be taught. I won't keep you in suspense any longer. Let me ask you: have you noticed anything different about Dragon Mound compared to the outside world?" Dragon Duel said.
With this prompt, Wang Long began to quietly sense his surroundings. However, aside from a distant sound reminiscent of dragon roars echoing around him, the only notable difference seemed to be the air. Perhaps due to being in a closed cavern, he felt that the air here was quite dense, yet breathing was smooth and unrestrained—on the contrary, it felt very refreshing. He conveyed this thought directly to Dragon Duel, who confirmed it.
"According to your Dragon Gate's cultivation method, absorbing Dragon Qi to impact the Dragon Vein for strength enhancement is the way of kings. And Dragon Mound is where I once annihilated countless dragons; the Dragon Qi here is enduring and should be considered an unparalleled paradise for you all. Unfortunately... for someone like you who can't cultivate at all, it will have no effect."
"It’s useless for me? What nonsense! You're just adding to my frustration!"
"Calm down; let me finish speaking. The young people nowadays are too impatient and can't stay grounded. Back in my day..." Dragon Duel reminisced about the past and rambled on endlessly, truly piquing Wang Long's interest. Seeing that Wang Long looked ready to take drastic measures if he didn't speak soon scared Dragon Duel, prompting it to quickly get to the point.
"According to your Dragon Gate's classification, how is human cultivation divided into levels? And how are dragons... or rather Dragon Soul, divided into grades? What functions do they serve?"
“Human Dragon Veins Nine is the ultimate number, breaking through nine Dragon Veins makes one the top powerhouse of the Kyushu Islands.”
“Dragon Soul is also divided into ranks from one to Ninth Rank, with First Rank being the weakest and Ninth Rank the strongest. The currently known strongest Dragon Soul is my hereditary True Dragon Soul from the Dragon Gate.”
“Although Dragon Soul has countless uses, providing enhancements in talent, attributes, and power along with some rather miraculous characteristics, it can only be considered an external boost. To truly measure a person's cultivation, one must rely on hard work and refinement, based on the number of Dragon Veins broken through. Even if a True Dragon Soul is incredibly strong, if it awakens in a weak individual who has only broken through one Dragon Vein, it will not unleash even one percent of its power.”
After saying all this common knowledge, Wang Long felt that he might have been toyed with again by that old man from Dragon Duel. Fortunately, this time Dragon Duel did not keep him guessing and directly shifted to the main topic.
“You only know part of it, young man. It seems it's not appropriate to tell you too much right now; after all, sharing it would only add to your troubles. Let me give you an example based on my own experiences. According to your Dragon Gate's ranking system, do you know what rank I belonged to before this?”
“I think it must be at least rank eight,” Wang Long guessed reasonably. In his view, even a Dragon Head awakening a Ninth Rank True Dragon Soul could not completely subdue Dragon Duel, which led to him fighting countless dragons and ultimately sacrificing his own life using forbidden Dragon Arts to seal him away. This demonstrated his formidable strength.
“Haha... you are still too young. Before yesterday, I was less than one-tenth of my peak strength and already at rank three thousand six hundred. If we talk about rank and combat power, I consider myself second in the world of the Kyushu Islands, with no first.”
“Don’t doubt it; this is all due to my talent. Dragons have existed since the birth of heaven and earth, far longer than any human. Yet among millions of dragons, I am the only unique anomaly!”
“My name is Dragon Duel. I live by fighting; killing an enemy elevates me to First Rank. Every time I fight bloodily and slay a stronger foe, that is when I become invincible in the world!”
The voice of Dragon Duel thundered in Wang Long's mind like a storm, causing a ringing in his ears, but this was nothing compared to the shock he felt inside.
“Is it really that impressive? So what rank are you at now?” Wang Long asked a very practical question. A great man does not boast about past glories; how strong one was before is ultimately irrelevant.
“I am without rank or level; I can say that I am in exactly the same situation as you are now. Of course, even though I have nothing now, you are still destined to be unable to break through the Dragon Vein by absorbing Dragon Qi. However, we share this existence now and possess the same talent for breakthroughs through endless battles. This is why I expended my last bit of strength to bring you here!”
"What is your purpose in bringing me to Dragon Mound?"
"Dragon Duel!"
"Dragon Duel?" Wang Long felt a bit confused by his words.
"That's right, it's Dragon Duel. Based on the Dragon Qi I sense, although many years have passed, there are still quite a few Dragon Souls lingering here at Dragon Mound. Most of them have weakened over time, but in the outer regions, there should be a feeble Dragon Soul equivalent to you breaking through a Dragon Vein, which is around First Rank strength. Moreover, most of them are low-level Dragon Souls that have almost only instinctive combat awareness left. For you now, it would be a Narrow Escape rather than a certain death; it's a great opportunity to quickly enhance your strength!"
Hearing the terms Narrow Escape and certain death casually mentioned by that old man made Wang Long feel an impulse to spit blood in anger.
To face the power of a dragon with just one person's strength, the term Narrow Escape was indeed too extravagant...
And it didn't stop there; this grandson of his didn't forget to extinguish his last bit of hope.
"Don't expect me to help you; I can barely protect myself. At most, I can cheer you on. Also, don't think about awakening my Dragon Soul until you break through the ninth Dragon Vein because your current small physique can't withstand my dragon might. Enough said, hurry up and break through; I sense a weak Dragon Soul just northeast!"
