The Strongest Dragon in the Era of Beast Taming

Chapter 718: Chapter 712: The Future You

“`

As the lightning pillar with a diameter of about a hundred meters slowly dissipated, a huge, electrically charged crater was revealed on the Battle Platform.

In the crater lay the Raging Waves Spirit, its body charred and unconscious.

“What kind of monster is this Red-tailed Goldfish, exactly?”

Watching the sudden reversal of the situation in front of him, Xobra Joni couldn’t help but swallow nervously.

“The victor is David Jones!” declared the referee.

Upon hearing this, cheering that was hearty and cathartic erupted from the stands, and the live fans began to celebrate wildly.

At the same time, the live streaming platform’s chat exploded.

What had they seen?

A Red-tailed Goldfish not only awakened the Thunder type but also displayed astoundingly high defense, and it even managed to defeat its opponent of higher rank in seconds!

“Is the pet contracted to David Jones really a Red-tailed Goldfish? How come the one I have can only do a Water Jump!”

“Who isn’t?”

“Hehe, my family happens to have leased a fish pond this year, and the fish we’re raising are actually Red-tailed Goldfish. No good, I have to go home now to drain the pond and see if I can pull out an SSR!”

“Drain the pond? Dude, do you not want your fish anymore? Can you take me with you to drain?”

“Tsk tsk tsk, I thought David Jones entered the competition to fry fish, I didn’t expect him to use a fish to fry people, it’s just preposterous!”

David Jones wasn’t surprised by Goldy’s victory, but he was surprised by Goldy’s performance.

He leaned down and poked Goldy’s head with his fingertip.

“Gurulu?” (Where’s that terrible snake?)

Goldy stared with its dead fish eyes, looking around in all directions.

“You sent it to the medical room,” David Jones said, speechless.

Goldy blinked in confusion, then somehow pulled out a small bag of fish jerky from its body and handed it to David Jones.

“Gurulu.” (Tasty.)

“You eat it yourself.”

Without hesitation, Goldy used its fin to toss the fish jerky into its mouth, showing an expression of contentment.

It seemed to have completely forgotten about the battle that had just taken place.

David Jones chuckled wryly, feeling he had underestimated Goldy’s foolishness and timidity.

“Thanks for your advice, could you give me an autograph?” Xobra Joni stepped forward and asked.

“I’m not a pop idol, forget about the autograph. Instead of that, I think you should be more concerned about the injury of your pet,” David Jones reminded him.

He didn’t like people who treated pets as tools and were overly utilitarian.

After leaving backstage, David Jones declined interviews from all Media of Waterland City, choosing to return to the Louise Research Institute to witness the results of the Gluttonous Beast’s work.

As he pushed open the door, the first thing David Jones saw was Rosalind Louise, dressed in a lab coat and focused on her work.

“You’ve arrived, the research on Pure Blood of Doom is just wrapping up,” she said with a smile.

“Tick-tock.”

As the fresh blood dripping inside the vial started glowing brightly, a drop of gel-like Pure Blood of Doom was finally created.

In that moment, the Dragon Egg of Doom, which had been in a dormant state, burst forth with a powerful Dragon Domination, expressing its thirst for the Pure Blood of Doom.

“Meow.”

Daphne patted the dragon egg to calm it down a bit.

“Hum.”

The Dragon Egg of Doom shook several times as if fearing someone would snatch it away.

[Pure Blood of Doom (Destiny)]: Special purified blood cultivated using the blood of Destiny Sacred Beasts, has the effect of neutralizing and purifying Mystery Power, and can also be used to enhance the Trainer’s Innate Talent related to Dragon-Wielding and to increase the bloodline level of Dragon-type Pets.

“It seems this enhancement has no effect on my Talent,” said David Jones, taking the vial from the Gluttonous Beast and noticing that the Dragon-Wielding power inside the Origin Star Space remained unchanged.

Considering the risk of the Dragon Egg of Doom’s rampage, David Jones didn’t hesitate, applying the Pure Blood of Doom to the surface of the dragon egg.

“Hum!”

“`

Under everyone’s gaze, the Dragon Egg of Doom burst into dazzling light, its massive size visibly shrinking at a speed detectable by the naked eye.

Unfortunately, when the light faded, there was still no sign of the Dragon Egg of Doom hatching.

David Jones hesitated for a moment, then extended his right hand to touch the dragon egg and sense it.

“Still… want… more!”

Hearing this response filled with desire, David’s heart leaped with joy, and he quickly asked with his mind, “How long do you need before you can come out?”

Regrettably, the Dragon Egg of Doom would only repeat that one sentence, unable to communicate at all.

After several tries, David eventually lost interest and handed the dragon egg over to Daphne to take care of, then turned his head to look at his senior sister.

“The progress of Gluttonous Beast’s learning is faster than I expected; it should be able to master the technique of purifying blood in nine more days,” Rosalind Louise said.

“The Hegemony Race will just end in nine days,” David felt the urge to leave.

In the past few days, without the help of the Ice-Fire World, Rainbow’s progress in transforming into an Ice-Fire Dragon had been stuck at the stage of Power of Annihilation. To completely solve this, he would need to return to Rosewood City.

…

Time flew by.

The top eight competition of the Waterland City Urban Hegemony Race was about to begin.

David grabbed a tablet, opened the Trainers APP, and played the video of Goldy sweeping through its opponents in the Hegemony Race.

“Come, look here, this is you,” David pointed at the screen where the Red-tailed Goldfish kept its eyes tightly closed.

“Glub.”

Goldy shook its head, it was right here, and how could that ugly thing on the screen possibly be it? Goldy’s blunt rejection left David speechless.

“Eep!” (Take another look!)

Rainbow formed a crystal-clear ice mirror on its dragon claw, trying to communicate with Goldy on the same frequency.

“Glub?” (Another ugly thing?)

Goldy glanced at the tablet screen and then at the ice mirror, uncertainly saying.

Hearing this, David and Rainbow looked at each other, reaching a consensus.

“This kid is truly clueless, so clueless it can’t even recognize itself.”

After pondering for a moment, David decided to try a different approach and handed the tablet to Rainbow.

Receiving the instruction, Rainbow drew a lifelike regular Red-tailed Goldfish on the tablet with its dragon claw.

Then David turned the tablet toward Goldy.

“Glub!” (This is me!)

This time, without David’s reminder, Goldy excitedly identified itself.

“Ridiculous, it seems like this guy has no awareness of the changes in itself!” David felt somewhat exasperated.

This didn’t make sense; normally, Goldy would have noticed its own changes just from drinking water!

Could it be possible that Goldy’s previously surging intelligence somehow regressed, allowing its clueless mind to once again dominate the high ground of IQ?

“Rainbow, keep drawing.”

Under Goldy’s curious gaze, the tablet screen gradually showed a majestic divine beast resembling both a deer and a dragon.

The domineering dragon head surveyed the heavens and earth, with “√” shaped thunderbolts at the front and back ends of the dragon horns, enveloped by a terrifying aura of domination.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

From the end of the slender golden dragon neck to the chest was a set of six fiery red lava crystal horns; around the dragon body orbited four golden divine eyes, as if they could shake the heavens and earth and wield the power of nature.

Goldy stared at this potent image, completely frozen in place, feeling an odd familiarity with the beast in the painting—a familiarity that started to give it a headache.

“Glub?” (Is this also me?)

After being asked several times, Goldy had now learned to respond promptly.

“Eep!” Rainbow’s eyes lit up excitedly with a nod.

David activated his Illusion-Piercing Eye to look directly into Goldy’s eyes, hoping to discern its thoughts.

“That’s right; this is what you’ll be in the future. Do you want to become your future self soon?”
