Job transfer for all: I can add unlimited mana

Back to the main topic.

 

Eastern and Western dragon species can increase their strength and bloodline power through mutual devouring.

 

Bird species can too.

 

Bifang, Golden Crow, Phoenix, even Suzaku, one of the Four Sacred Beasts...

 

All can evolve through mutual devouring.

 

But only within the same type.

 

Because of this, there are often stories in the divine beast world of some divine beasts falling into the path of demons, devouring even their kin and parents to gain immense power.

 

In human moral concepts, this would be considered fratricide.

 

But in the worldview of divine beasts, there is no human moral law.

 

Regardless.

 

Now that there’s the Black Flame Holy Dragon spine for Meng Shuang to devour, Ling Zhan naturally took it.

 

This was one of the reasons Ling Zhan agreed to Li Chaoge.

 

“So sleepy…”

 

After devouring the Black Flame Holy Dragon spine, Meng Shuang immediately became drowsy.

 

Her blue dragon scales appeared, and her small hands showed signs of turning into dragon claws.

 

Her small, cute body exuded a terrifying dragon aura.

 

This showed she needed to refine the immense dragon power from the Black Flame Holy Dragon spine alone.

 

“Go rest, you don't need to attend tonight's banquet.”

 

Ling Zhan said softly.

 

Meng Shuang nodded and wobbled upstairs to her room, curled up, and fell asleep.

 

A gentle, golden light emanated from her body, neutralizing the rampant dragon aura and power.

 

“Li Chaoge, this human girl, is not simple…”

 

“I heard that a few months ago, a prince from the Black Flame Empire visited our Dragon Kingdom to train on the front lines of our forbidden lands.”

 

“He was assigned to Li Chaoge’s special team. The proud Black Flame prince naturally didn’t want to be under a woman.”

 

“So he challenged Li Chaoge, and after transforming, had his spine forcibly taken out by her…”

 

“If the Black Flame prince hadn’t surrendered quickly, Li Chaoge might have taken his entire spine…”

 

Downstairs.

 

Chang Yue softly narrated the origin of the Black Flame Holy Dragon spine.

 

“How do you know this so well?”

 

Ling Zhan asked.

 

“The five deans told us when they were trying to convince us to contract with her.”

 

“But we didn’t want to at the time because Li Chaoge already had that stinky fox contracted.”

 

Yun Man pouted.

 

Indeed...

 

Divine beasts have their pride. Even if the other party is excellent, if they have already contracted another divine beast, they won’t be willing to contract with them.

 

Just like when Ling Zhan won the bet, the divine beasts' parents were reluctant.

 

“Then why did you agree to contract with me?”

 

Ling Zhan noticed the highlight.

 

Yun Man and Chang Yue looked at each other, then stuck out their tongues.

 

They didn’t say.

 

Ling Zhan didn’t care.

 

He never pursued such small matters out of curiosity, nor did he have the desire to dig deeper.

 

“Get ready, we're going to the banquet.”

 

Ling Zhan said, then began to prepare.

 

……

 

At 7:30 PM.

 

The highly anticipated grand banquet finally began!

 

There were no live broadcasts or media coverage.

 

It was purely a private event.

 

And with important figures present, confidentiality was necessary.

 

So, the banquet was held in a golden palace within the magical manor, surrounded by a vast magical array personally set up by a fourth-turn mage from the Holy Light Empire.

 

No strangers were allowed.

 

If found, the Royal Guards of the Holy Light Empire would immediately deal with the intruder.

 

Top talents from prestigious schools worldwide began arriving in formal attire, ties, and well-dressed.

 

In just ten minutes.

 

The grand, golden palace hall was filled with many figures.

 

Some who were used to casual settings felt uncomfortable in such a formal occasion.

 

And with people from around the world and different races, there was some distance.

 

It was clear that everyone had their own circles.

 

Mostly talking with their schoolmates or team members.

 

A few social butterflies carried their drinks, walking around gracefully, greeting and chatting with others.

 

“Look…”

 

“That’s the team from the Free Federation, composed of top talents from several Ivy League schools. I heard they just returned from training on the Takamagahara front lines.”

 

“With them are a few sycophants from Fusang Country. Leading them is that pretty woman in a kimono, Gojo Momo. I heard her contracted divine beast is the Yamata no Orochi…”

 

“Hah, as expected, Fusang Country loves to curry favor with the Free Federation!”

 

“Haha! Do you think Gojo Momo will be asked to sleep with the Free Federation guys tonight?”

 

“I don’t know… Maybe not? I heard the Gojo family has recently been close to the Ghost Slayers, who dislike the current ruler of Fusang Country for currying favor…”

 

……

 

“The people from the Ross Empire are here too. Their captain’s contracted divine beast is the ‘Frost Hulking Bear,’ a brown bear divine beast controlling frost.”

 

“The giants from the Giant Kingdom are also here.”

 

“Haha… They look funny in suits…”

 

“Whoa! Look over there! Elves from the Elven Kingdom!”

 

“Such beautiful people! I want to ask them to dance with me.”

 

“Huh? Isn’t that the team from the Dragon Kingdom?”

 

“Yes, Li Chaoge!! She finally appeared!”

 

“So beautiful! The mature woman next to her is also stunning! I’m in love!”

 

“Don’t mess around, that’s the Nine-Tailed Fox. I heard she has a bad temper.”

 

“I think Li Chaoge’s looks and temperament are comparable to the princess of the Holy Light Empire!”

 

“Speaking of the Dragon Kingdom team… You’ve heard, right?”

 

At this point, the chattering circles suddenly quieted.

 

Then, they all showed playful and mocking expressions.

 

“Hehe, you mean that 27-level non-specialist?”

 

Someone sneered disdainfully.
