Yulong Yan felt the aura of the Yulong Jue in Lin Zhan’s body growing stronger, and couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise, "Something's not right. According to normal progression, this kid should be delirious and in qi deviation by now. It would be normal even if he were driven mad or died spitting blood."
Sensing the change in Lin Zhan's aura, Xiao Jin and Xiao Hei automatically emerged from space. They happened to overhear Yulong Yan's muttered words and exchanged a glance.
A spatial fluctuation occurred, and the figures of the Black Dragon Emperor and the Black Dragon King appeared by Lin Zhan's side. "This kid is good, making great progress. It seems he can cultivate soul power soon."
"Yan, you let this kid use the last inheritance gem. You'll need to re-imprint the inheritance gem when you have time," the Black Dragon Emperor, always one to plan ahead, wanted Yulong Yan to leave another inheritance, as Lin Zhan's strength was too low and it would take him a long time to be able to imprint the inheritance gem.
"Ancestor Black Dragon, what inheritance gem? Isn't Yulong Jue cultivated on its own?" Lin Zhan asked dazedly.
After hearing Lin Zhan's words, the Black Dragon Emperor and his brother looked at Yulong Yan. "Yan, did you give the wrong gem to Lin kid, you idiot?"
"What do you mean wrong gem? Do I look like someone who would do such a thing? I saw Lin kid as a talent worth nurturing, so I took out the recording gem to let him understand Yulong Jue more carefully," Yulong Yan argued unreasonably.
"Damn it, Big Brother, you mean our hard-won successor was almost killed by Yan?" the Black Dragon King said to his elder brother.
"Alright, alright, don't dwell on such a small matter. Besides, with me watching over Lin kid, what danger could he be in?" Yulong Yan said to them. Su Dan Novel Network
"Yes, there's no danger, at most he'll just become an idiot," the Black Dragon King continued to expose his flaws.
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhan broke out in a cold sweat. "Damn it, this old coffin-dweller, if it weren't for the system's assistance, wouldn't I have become an idiot long ago?"
Lin Zhan never expected that after often turning others into idiots, he himself was almost made into one.
"Alright, stop bickering about this. Let's change the topic. Elder Brother, Second Brother, I'm thinking of letting Lin kid contract that little fellow." Yulong Yan changed the subject, speaking to the Black Dragon Emperor and his brother.
"Given Lin kid's talent, it's possible. However, that little fellow has quite a powerful background, and he loves to drink and has a fiery temper that can cause trouble. Can Lin kid handle it?" the Black Dragon Emperor said with some concern.
"It's fine. Lin kid is now my successor, Yulong Yan. Who dares to bring his background to suppress him? Don't forget, our ancestor is not dead yet, let alone your Dragon Clan's ancestor. As for his temper, birds of a feather flock together. Look at Lin kid and these two little brats, do they look like good people?" Yulong Yan pointed at Xiao Jin and Xiao Hei.
"Big Brother, Yan's idea is good. If these guys team up, even the Human King's Court would have a headache dealing with them," the Black Dragon King said with a sly smile.
"Ancestors, what are you talking about?" Lin Zhan asked with a curious baby demeanor. Lin Zhan had figured out that by acting like a child around these three ancestors, he could get more benefits.
"Lin kid, you've also advanced to Gold now, so you can contract a third spirit beast. We have a good target for you," the Black Dragon King said to Lin Zhan with a smile.
Yulong Yan chanted a spell, and a huge stone coffin fell.
Lin Zhan looked at the stone coffin and asked the three of them, "Ancestors, is this thing dead?"
"What do you mean dead? Watch closely." The Black Dragon Emperor stepped forward, pushed open the stone coffin, and pulled out a majestic giant beast.
This beast was 5 meters tall and 10 meters long. Its large head and sharp teeth indicated a terrifying biting force. Its thick limbs were covered in sharp claws, all displaying its immense power.
Lin Zhan's eyes widened in astonishment at the giant beast held by the Black Dragon Emperor, and his mouth hung open. "This, this... this is a giant panda!"
The giant panda, freed from the stone coffin's seal, slowly opened its eyes. Hearing Lin Zhan's words, it said, "You ignorant brat, what giant panda? I am an iron-eating beast. You can call me Master Bao."
"Lin kid, don't underestimate this clumsy bear. This guy has a body of steel and iron, immense strength, agile movements, and is incredibly powerful in combat. The mount of Emperor Chiyou, the leader of the soldiers, was this little fellow's ancestor," the Black Dragon Emperor revealed Bao Ye's background to Lin Zhan.
"Big Brother is right. This little fellow was too young back then. Emperor Chiyou, fearing that the iron-eating beast clan would break its lineage, directly sealed it and placed it with me, hoping to find a good partner for it in the future," Yulong Yan also told Lin Zhan.
"Great-Grandpa Yan, Great-Grandpa Black, and Second Great-Grandpa Black, this kid isn't the contracting partner you found for me, is he? He looks silly like this, can it work?" Master Bao looked at Lin Zhan and said to the three of them.
"Little Bao, don't worry. This kid's honest appearance is all an act. He still has several 'hostages' outside. Look at the two little brats he contracted, do you not sense a kindred spirit from them?" the Black Dragon King said to the iron-eating beast, Master Bao.
Upon hearing the Black Dragon King's words, Master Bao quickly looked at Xiao Jin and Xiao Hei. "Oh my, it's true. So you're all just pretending to be honest."
Master Bao's discerning eyes immediately saw that Xiao Jin and Xiao Hei were also of the same kind... same kind of beast.
