74: Chapter 74 Don't believe me? Come at me!
Ling Wanhe's expression became unprecedentedly grave.
"There's... really a living Young Dragon inside the True Dragons Nest?"
You have to understand, the ancient True Dragon race were once cosmic overlords who dominated an entire epoch!
Even as a Young Dragon, its talent and strength are enough to sweep through the peerless talents of all races!
Jiang Mingyue was also utterly shocked.
"If it existed in the present day, it would absolutely be one of the top-tier Prodigys in the starry sky!"
"Perhaps... even surpassing that!"
Ling Wanhe nodded, analyzing, "To make even the third-ranked Ye Miaomiao fear it to such an extent, even fleeing in disarray, that Young Dragon's strength is likely at least at the sixth rank! Possibly... even stronger!"
A deep sense of apprehension rose in both their hearts.
A sixth-rank Young True Dragon cub!
That was no joke!
Its combat power could even rival that of an ordinary human Flying Heaven Realm expert!
However, just as the two were deeply worried...
Ning Yuan, standing beside them, had his eyes shining, his face filled with excitement, and he even swallowed a mouthful of saliva, unable to help himself.
"Hey, do you think... is True Dragon meat actually tasty?"
"I've heard dragon liver and phoenix marrow are peerless delicacies. I wonder if Young Dragon meat is tender?"
Upon hearing this, Ling Wanhe and Jiang Mingyue were instantly covered in metaphorical black lines.
What on earth was this guy thinking?
At a time like this, he's still thinking about eating?
How dare he even consider it!
Seeing their expressions, Ning Yuan immediately adopted a serious tone:
"Have some ambition, will you!"
"This is a living Young True Dragon cub! It's a walking treasure trove! Don't you want to take a chance?"
"If we could kill it, or capture it to use as a mount or something, wouldn't that be incredibly awesome?"
Hearing him say this, Ling Wanhe and Jiang Mingyue exchanged a glance. The apprehension in their eyes gradually faded, replaced by a flicker of growing excitement!
Right!
Although the True Dragon is formidable, the three of them aren't weak either!
One is a freak with a Star Sacred Bone, one is a former Martial Saint reborn, and another is a favored daughter of heaven from the Star Spirit Clan!
Plus, there's Wang Zai, the Heaven Swallowing Beast!
This lineup was simply ridiculously luxurious!
They might just be able to give it a try!
Both their hearts began to itch with eagerness.
Ning Yuan patted his chest, confidently assuring them:
"Don't worry! I've got your backs! No need to panic!"
"Even if the sky falls, your boss will hold it up for you!"
Hearing this, the last trace of hesitation in their hearts completely vanished.
The three of them moved swiftly, quickly taking Ye Miaomiao's dimensional bracelet.
This time, however, they were a bit more "humane." They didn't strip her clothes, just tossed her and Zhao Tieshan aside into a nearby grove like garbage.
Then, the three of them went back into hiding, continuing their stakeout.
Soon.
The formation at the entrance to the True Dragons Nest rippled violently once more.
Panic-stricken figures rushed out from within.
"Madness! It's absolute madness!"
"That Young True Dragon cub has gone berserk! It kills anyone it sees!"
"Run! Run for your lives!"
These normally haughty and proud geniuses were now scared out of their wits, wishing their parents had given them two more legs.
However.
They had just escaped the wolf's den, only to fall into the tiger's lair.
Before they could even regain their bearings, a thick, black club descended from the sky!
Thump! Thump! Thump!
A series of dull thuds rang out.
These panicked geniuses were knocked unconscious one by one, following in the footsteps of their predecessors.
The trio expertly carried out their "looting" operation, their coordination seamless and fluid.
Ning Yuan stroked his chin, deep in thought.
"It seems... our strategy of waiting by the tree for the rabbit was indeed the right choice."
"At this rate, most of the good stuff from the True Dragons Nest will probably end up in our pockets."
In the following time.
The three of them were like diligent little bees, tirelessly harvesting batch after batch of "fat sheep."
As more and more Transcendent Academy geniuses were knocked out and looted, their purses grew fatter and fatter.
At the same time, they also obtained more information about that Young Dragon from these unlucky souls.
"So... that Young True Dragon cub was actually awakened by that guy, Yu Wangji?"
"They say he was searching for True Dragon essence blood to repair his incomplete Reincarnation Immortal Eye. He accidentally triggered a restriction and woke the slumbering Young Dragon!"
Ling Wanhe's expression grew somewhat solemn.
"The Reincarnation Immortal Eye... that's one of the legendary supreme constitutions! If he truly completes it, that guy's future achievements would be simply limitless!"
"He might even... surpass everyone in the starry sky!"
Just as she was speaking...
Suddenly!
An intense wave of energy fluctuation erupted from the entrance!
Boom!
Two dazzling beams of divine light, sharp as swords, forcibly tore through the protective formation's light curtain!
A blood-stained, utterly disheveled figure charged out from within!
It was none other than the top-ranked genius of the Transcendent Academy from the Feather Clan — Yu Wangji!
At this moment, two of the four wings on his back were broken, his entire body covered in deep, bone-exposing wounds, a truly miserable sight.
However, his originally dim and lackluster right eye remained somewhat flickering, while his left eye, which had always been tightly shut, was now weeping tears of blood. Yet, from it emanated a heart-palpitating divine light and runes!
That aura... ancient, weathered, and immensely powerful!
"He... succeeded?"
Jiang Mingyue was secretly alarmed.
Although Yu Wangji's current state looked terrible, the aura emanating from that left eye made even her feel a hint of threat.
Did this guy really manage to snatch food from the tiger's mouth under the Young Dragon's pursuit?
However.
The instant this thought arose in her mind...
A figure had already shot forward like an arrow from a bow!
"Birdman! Hand over the treasures! I'll spare your life!"
Ning Yuan shouted loudly. Without any further ado, he directly threw a punch!
The phantom of the Heavenly Dragon and Divine Elephant roared within his body. The terrifying Dragon-Elephant Divine Power surged into his fist, its momentum earth-shattering!
Yu Wangji was currently in a state of extreme tension.
Although he had luckily devoured the essence of several True Dragon eggs, barely repairing part of the defect in his left eye, he had also thoroughly enraged that slumbering ancient Young Dragon in the process!
That terrifying Prodigy had firmly locked onto his aura and was frantically pursuing him!
He had barely managed to escape with his life from that deadly crisis, thinking he could finally catch his breath.
He never expected to be ambushed the moment he emerged!
A violent, murderous intent instantly surged in his heart!
"Get lost! Those who stand in my way, die!"
He roared, wanting to quickly deal with the trouble in front of him and then flee far away.
But the next instant...
His expression changed!
An irresistible, terrifying, immense force, like a tidal wave, assaulted him!
He felt as if he had crashed into a divine mountain moving at high speed. His entire body was instantly sent flying!
Yu Wangji tumbled through the air several times before barely stabilizing himself, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
"This... how is this possible?!"
"This person's physical strength... is actually stronger than that Overlord Body, Zhao Tieshan?!"
He had no time to think further and hurriedly shouted:
"Sir! Hold your hand! There's a young True Dragon born within the True Dragons Nest! It's pursuing me! How about we join forces against it? We can split the treasures equally afterwards!"
He tried to tempt Ning Yuan with benefits, while also hoping to buy time or redirect the trouble.
However.
Ning Yuan grinned, revealing a set of stark white teeth.
"Sorry, not interested!"
"I'm a guy who loves to eat alone!"
Boom!
The vast golden essence sea within his body instantly boiled and roared!
An aura even more terrifying and domineering than before erupted from him!
His figure flickered, instantly appearing before Yu Wangji. A fist smashed viciously towards his still-bleeding left eye!
"What are you looking at! Don't like it? Fight me!"
