The Strongest Dragon in the Era of Beast Taming

Chapter 640: Chapter 634: The Three Divine Waters

Gazing at David Jones’s retreating figure, Stan Dragonjoy sighed in his heart.

He was only a junior now, and the thought of facing David Jones in the next two National Trainer Cooperative Competitions gave him a headache.

They say don’t underestimate the youth in poverty, but him representing his college in the competition as a junior was already a bit much. Yet David Jones was even more excessive, leading a team to compete as a freshman. How was one supposed to compete against that!

If one were to talk about potential and age, David Jones was far younger and more talented. How was he to regain his pride!

Shelving the bitterness in his heart, Stan Dragonjoy slowly walked down from the Battle Platform.

After this battle, he faintly felt a premonition.

After Peony Colledge had dominated the national competition for nine years, it was possible that David Jones would lead the younger generation of the Flowery Kingdom.

“Captain, you’re invincible! Do you want some water?” Sanne offered a cup of water.

“The only one left is Thundurus Academy. With the captain here, we’ll definitely secure the first place in Group B!” Jedbrook Harvey said expectantly.

At the same time, in the resting room of Thundurus Academy, a group of young Trainers, who should have been full of vigor, were as quiet as if they were mute, and a silent atmosphere permeated the entire room.

“Captain, why don’t we just concede? Losing to Rosewood College isn’t shameful, and it’d allow us to conserve our energy to take down Dragonsoar Academy!”

After a while, a voice tinged with reluctance broke the silence.

“Everyone thinks we’re going to lose; no one believes we can win!” Captain Mordreth Thunder exhaled a breath of turbid air, looking at his teammates whose spirits were low.

“But we must win to show them, even if we can only snatch a victory in one or two small rounds! In a word, our Thundurus Academy has no cowards!”

The team members looked up at Captain Mordreth Thunder, astonishment flashing in their eyes.

Good fellow, with only two college teams in Group B and no third, Thundurus Academy was sure to make it out of the group stage.

Otherwise, they figured the captain wouldn’t have made such bold words about sending themselves to the slaughter.

There was no helping it; the gap was just too big!

…

After a few matches, the Rosewood College team once again took the stage, and the viewership, which had been on a downward trend, suddenly soared from several billion to over a hundred billion.

Commentator Jay was blunt in his commentary, “If Rosewood College can win against Thundurus Academy, they will be the first to qualify from the round-robin with an impeccable record, following Peony Colledge’s team, and this is the dominance of Flowery Kingdom’s Big Five!”

This time, David Jones still didn’t take the first turn to compete but allowed the Gluttonous Beast to search for the secret recipe for nurturing the Bodhi Tree while enhancing the premium Dragon Crystal.

There were no worthy opponents for David Jones in the group matches anyway, and it was just a matter of course for his team to qualify from their group in first place.

He focused more on how to help Rainbow interfere with the changes in the Arcane Force’s Type using Psychic Power, coordinating the inherently incompatible Ice-Fire Power.

“Boom!”

With a slight explosion, another dirty black spot appeared on Rainbow’s dragon claw.

It didn’t have the Fire Type but could use the power from the Beast Taming Contract with David Jones to ignite a wisp of Flame of Fire Heart and begin a primary Fusion with its own Breathe of Heavenly Frost.

“Eek!” (Failed again!)

Rainbow scratched its head, feeling that the failure was due to the weakness of the flame’s essence, not the lack of strength in its Psychic Power.

“Indeed, the Power of Heavenly Frost is the Ultimate Ice, and compared to it, the not yet fully born Flame of Fire Heart is somewhat lacking,” David Jones mused, realizing he had encountered another challenge.

He needed to find a fire that was essentially stronger than the Power of Heavenly Frost; otherwise, even if Rainbow possessed the Absolute Will, it would still be unable to balance the conflict between Ice and Fire using Dragon Power and Psychic Power.

“Can Daphne’s Destiny Flame be used?” David Jones pointed out another path.

“Ee.” (It probably won’t work.)

Rainbow shook her head.

“Then try more with Daphne, and if you need any Pet Resources, you can get them from Gluttonous Beast.”

While saying this, David Jones looked up at the fierce battles taking place on the Battle Platform, but his mind drifted to the three kinds of holy water that Gluttonous Beast had found mentioned on the Trainer Guild’s official forum.

These three were the Trilight Divine Water born from the nurturing of the sun, moon, and stars; the Glazed Pure Water, a drop cultivated over a millennium from the Merit Saint Pool; and the Origin Water, originating from the essence of the Milky Way, hailed as the beginning of the star river.

“Gluttonous Beast, you’re overestimating me, can you find some more realistic spirit water that I can actually afford to buy right now?” David Jones was somewhat speechless.

All three waters were Level IX immortal resources, merely legends, so much so that even legendary powerhouses would covet them—hardly things for a newly crowned King Trainer to fuss over.

But to be fair, if he could indeed find any one of these three divine waters, the growth period of the Seven Rites Bodhi Tree could definitely be shortened from the lengthy hundreds of years to just a year or two.

“Roar?” (If not for the Origin Water, would the next Level I, Nine-Purity Spring Water, work?)

Gluttonous Beast growled.

Upon hearing this, David Jones’ gaze subconsciously shifted to the spectator seats of Glazewater College’s teachers and students.

The Nine-Purity Spring Water was the symbolic divine object of Glazewater College, akin to the status that the Rosewood Divine Wood held at Rosewood College.

With boundless vitality, the highest-grade Nine-Purity Spring Water needed just a drop to reshape the physical body of the deceased, resurrect legendary powerhouses whose souls hadn’t completely perished, and could also unravel the mysteries of reincarnated powerhouses’ pre-birth. It was a Level VIII legendary SSS tier resource that countless powerhouses yearned for in their dreams.

Thinking of the rumors about Nine-Purity Spring Water, this time, David Jones did not dismiss Gluttonous Beast’s suggestion.

He perhaps could not get his hands on the highest grade of Nine-Purity Spring Water, but acquiring the slightly less impressive Glazed Pure Water was not an impossible task.

“Clap, clap, clap!”

The next second, thunderous applause attracted David Jones’ attention.

On the Battle Platform, Margaret Yule commanded Snowball to defeat her opponent with swift and decisive action, prompting cheers from the audience.

It must be said that although Snowball’s seal had not been completely lifted by Lolo, its strength surged from a Class I lower-level to a Class III upper-level.

Leveraging Snowball’s original Class V upper-level combat consciousness, such strength might not be enough to defeat the top student from Thundurus Academy, but triumphing over Class IV middle-level Commander Pets was not a problem at all.

Seeing this, Margaret Yule herself couldn’t believe it.

With the same Class III upper-level power, Snowball’s combat strength far surpassed that of Bluny, and even she had not expected to be able to rely on Snowball to make a clean sweep with two consecutive victories.

Richard Goodwin and Jackson Grant looked deeply at David Jones, showing no great surprise.

That Six-tailed Ice Fox named Snowball was a formidable opponent that even their Pets found quite difficult to handle, so defeating two lower-ranking competitors from Thundurus Academy seemed normal.

Soon, the score between Rosewood College and Dragonsoar Academy came to two-to-two, with Jedbrook Harvey replacing the defeated Margaret Yule, commanding the Flame Sealing Flood Dragon to four consecutive victories.

If it weren’t for the considerable consumption of the Beast’s physical strength and Arcane Force, Jedbrook Harvey could have even challenged the third seat of Thundurus Academy.

At that moment, when Jedbrook Harvey was defeated, the spectator seats erupted in cheers.

“Here it comes, that man is finally going to take the stage again!”

However, David Jones, the man in whom the audience placed high hopes, was somewhat weary of it all and decided to send out Gluttonous Beast with only Class III upper-level strength for the final match of the round-robin tournament.

He planned to hone Gluttonous Beast while demonstrating on Rosewood College’s home ground what it meant to crush through ranks and what it meant to be invincible in the current era!
