Chapter 749: Beast Companion [Bonus]

“First of all, before I can help you… You must sign a contract with me.”

“Absolutely not. I wouldn’t become your slave just for power. If it is going to take death for me to tell you that, then let’s fight.” Uncle Drake clearly misunderstood Kent. But who could blame him?

Most beast tamers are slave masters, for the beasts under them are either forced into submission or are handed contracts that don’t benefit them like they do the beast master.

However, Kent is different; his contracts essentially require him to ensure that every one of his companions is taken care of by him.

Of course, they will provide him with Spiritual Qi, soul essence, skill upgrade points, and tower points. But that is just something trivial in the long run. After all, Kent already has three races under his belt, giving him all he wants.

So, looking at this offer with a critical eye, Uncle Drake has more to gain than even Kent.

However, Kent is a no-nonsense guy, so he already anticipated this response, for that is how he would respond if someone he couldn’t kill asked for said contract.

“Relax. This contract isn’t for you to become my slave. I hate slavery, so don’t worry about me turning you into one.”

“Then what contract are you talking about?”

“The kind that will allow you to grow unimpeded. I’m not sure if you’re already aware, but this world is just the beginning of a cultivation journey.

There are high worlds, immortal worlds, and god worlds out there that have beings stronger than you can imagine.

Getting there is hard, but not for me. With a snap of my fingers, I can take you there. However, I don’t think we need to discuss that now.

Please be aware that signing this contract with me is in your best interest. It would allow me to help you better.”

Be it Uncle Drake or the eight Half-Elves, they were all in awe of what Kent had just said. They wanted to doubt him, but after seeing what he could do, doubting him was no longer an option.

“Fine. But if you deceive me, I will find ways to kill you, even if it is the last thing I do.”

Kent just smirked and extended his hand, forming an orb that flew and entered Uncle Drake’s forehead. The moment the orb entered, his eyes widened.

“Is that…” Uncle Drake wanted to say something, but he couldn’t come up with the words.

Kent smiled. “Yes. That is the first form of a cultivation technique meant for dragons. It is a God-grade technique when in the first form.

When the next four forms have been added, the grade will rise to the Celestial grade.

Of course, you need years to comprehend this form, but trust me, every single step you make will raise your strength to a whole new level.”

“This is just too…”

“Awesome. I know I am that awesome, no need to tell me.” Kent laughed and then added his classic line, “Never doubt me.”

Uncle Drake froze in his seat, not because of Kent’s shamelessness but because of what he had just received. It was just too much for him to comprehend.

The fact that Kent had just given him a God-grade Dragon cultivation technique was just too unbelievable to the point that moving his fingers wasn’t possible.

Kent just smirked at his expression, knowing there was no way in hell this man would ever doubt him again. In fact, the contract was just his way of adding him to the Legion Tower.

The technique was just a way of welcoming Uncle Drake into the family of the Chaos Dragon.

“Now that we’ve got that out of the way, you must get started with becoming a dragon.” Kent produced two more fruits. One was an Immortal-grade Ambrosia apple, and the other was a Flame Dragon Fruit.

He got the dragon fruit from the tower store for ten million tower points, so naturally, it was an invaluable treasure if it were to be auctioned.

But he now has more tower points than he needed, so he just gave them to him as if it were nothing.

“The golden fruit will raise your spirit root to a whole new level. When that is done, you can consume the red fruit. It is a dragon fruit, so right after eating, the process will start.”

Uncle Drake nodded.

Kent stood up and walked closer to the Sunlight Poison fruit. “I will send you to a place where you will have the privacy to cultivate.

Time flies faster there, so to you, it will take a couple of months, but to us, it will be a couple of days, perhaps a week. But the next time you see the outside world, you will be a full-fledged dragon like you wanted.”

Uncle Drake nodded again, then vanished.

“Where did he go?” Dorren asked, staring at Uncle Drake, who had sat just a moment ago.

“I sent him to a private domain where he will have the peace to cultivate in a more peaceful setting.”

“I want to go there and cultivate too,” Elia said, but Kent just smiled, “Later. For now, we have to farm for flame spirits.” They nodded, and Kent uprooted the flower.

A wave of energy washed over him as he gazed at the flower. It had fiery red petals, eight of them, each holding so much energy that Kent knew absorbing it would be of great help. After admiring it for a few more seconds, he lit his golden flame and devoured the flower.

Messages appeared the moment the flower was devoured.

⟦Your Soul Flame has devoured a large amount of Flame and Poison Energy.⟧

⟦The Quality of your Soul Flame has been upgraded from Tier 6 ↠ Tier 7⟧

⟦You have absorbed a large amount of Fire Energy.⟧

⟦Your Weak Flame Resistance Grows Stronger.⟧

⟦You have absorbed a large amount of Poison Energy. Your bloodline is activated.⟧

⟦Your bloodline has devoured the Poison.⟧

⟦Congratulations, you have achieved Poison Resistance.⟧

⟦Current Resistance: Weak⟧

‘Well, that was unexpected but welcome.’ Kent’s smile, feeling newfound strength, washed through his body. His main objective for coming to the valley had been realized.

This means he can now focus on other things.

“Let’s go.” Kent started flying away while the eight Elves followed. Princess Elowen wanted to ask something, but she kept it to herself after some consideration.

For now, she would just remain on the side and follow all Kent had to say, for that was her main objective for coming to the valley. The other minor issues would be handled later.

⟦I have mapped out 12 locations in the core region with a large number of flame beasts. However, be warned, the locations house some of the most terrifying beasts you will meet in a medium world.⟧

‘I guess it is a good thing I brought backup,’ Kent laughed inwardly.

With his strength, fearing anything in a medium world would be very hard. Perhaps there are beings he would struggle against, but dying to them isn’t one of those.
