213: Money-grubbing Lao Liu

After the Forbidden City Legion left, there were hundreds of thousands fewer people splitting the experience. Although the speed of killing monsters dropped significantly, under the endless army of puppets, even Huang Chen's experience bar visibly soared.

In less than half an hour, Huang Chen officially broke through Level 60.

Half an hour later, Tie Shengnan, Xie Chunyan, and the rest of the Harem members also reached Level 60.

After All the women reached Level 60, they immediately chose to dedicate all experience to their battle pets.

It wasn't until all the Battle Pets also reached Level 60 that Little Sixth Child barely broke through Level 40.

The experience gain was clearly abnormal. When Huang Chen checked, he discovered that the experience required for Little Sixth Child to level up was nearly a thousand times that of a normal Trial Taker.

However, the attributes of the Level 40 Sixth Child were already far beyond what a Level 60 Epic Elite Wyvern could achieve.

Huang Chen glanced at the attribute panel; its Health Points had reached 400 million, and its Attack Power was over 400,000.

This was definitely the template of a Level 70 Epic Boss. The foundation of the Super God Rank was truly terrifying.

Seeing that the Challenge Match was about to begin in two or three hours, Huang Chen immediately announced that this leveling session was over.

After all, a Level 40 Heavenly Dragon was already more than enough.

Returning to the Central City Villa, Huang Chen immediately summoned Benal and Consort Shu Ma Suo.

Soon after, Benal and Consort Shu arrived at the Villa. As soon as they entered, they were startled by Little Sixth Child, who was coiled up in the open space.

"Five-Clawed Heavenly Dragon!"

"It really is a Five-Clawed Heavenly Dragon!"

Benal looked at the nearly forty-meter-long dragon body, too excited to speak coherently.

As an existence superior to a Divine Dragon, the Five-Clawed Heavenly Dragon was almost legendary in this universe.

"Patriarch Benal."

Huang Chen stood in front of Sixth Child and said, "The Heavenly Dragon has been born, but before that, I want to ask you a question."

"Please say it!" Benal was now using honorific language when speaking to Huang Chen.

"If I take the Heavenly Dragon's essence blood, what kind of harm will it cause the Heavenly Dragon?" Huang Chen asked, narrowing his eyes.

Before the Heavenly Dragon was born, he only viewed it as a Battle Pet.

But after the Heavenly Dragon was born, it gave him a feeling of deep blood connection, looking at the Heavenly Dragon felt as intimate as looking at a relative.

Therefore, if taking the Heavenly Dragon's blood would have any seriously negative impact on it, he would have to reconsider his previous decision.

Although there is an ancient saying in Huaxia: A gentleman's word is his bond.

However, compared to being a gentleman, Huang Chen was more willing to be a scoundrel.

"Actually... the Divine dragon egg essence blood is like the hematopoietic stem cells in humans..."

Benal carefully glanced at Huang Chen. Seeing that Huang Chen's expression remained calm, he slowly continued, "After extracting a bit of essence blood, the Heavenly Dragon will fall into a temporary state of weakness, but given the Heavenly Dragon's size, it should recover in about two or three days."

After hearing Benal's words, Huang Chen silently sent an inquiry to Sixth Child through their mental link.

Receiving Sixth Child's affirmative mental reply, he felt much more at ease.

He turned around, looked at Benal and Consort Shu Ma Suo, and asked, "Alright! How do we extract the essence blood? Do we cut it open and drain the blood? Or is it like taking stem cells, by puncturing the spine?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Little Sixth Child, who had been lazily coiled on the ground, suddenly jolted. Its huge dragon head snapped up, and its eyes were filled with terror.

"Cut it open and drain the blood?"

"Puncture the spine?"

"Master isn't planning to subject me to the Ten Great Tortures of the Qing Dynasty, is he?"

"Awooo!"

Instantly, Sixth Child's eyes filled with hostility toward Benal and Consort Shu. A dragon roar, clearly meant to intimidate, echoed through the Villa.

Then its massive dragon body tensed instantly, its hind limbs fiercely pushed off the ground, turning into a streak of colored light. It shot towards the high sky without looking back, its speed astonishing, disappearing into the clouds in the blink of an eye... "Sixth Child!" Huang Chen was stunned, then couldn't help but laugh wryly.

He hadn't expected the little guy to react so strongly and run away so decisively.

Seeing this, Benal stomped his feet anxiously, his white beard sticking up. "Heavenly... Dragon Lord! Don't leave!!"

This was the essence blood crucial to the fate of their entire clan. Just when it was within reach, the Heavenly Dragon ran away?

Huang Chen looked at Little Sixth Child, who was secretly peeking out from behind the clouds, and gave a helpless, bitter smile.

"Come back! Let's talk properly!"

Sixth Child sensed Huang Chen's summons, but it shook its dragon head frantically like a rattle-drum.

"Pain! Master! Sixth Child is afraid of pain!"

The Level 40 Heavenly Dragon could already accurately convey its thoughts to Huang Chen through telepathy.

Seeing his Battle Pet being disobedient, Huang Chen could only shrug helplessly at Benal. If Sixth Child wasn't willing, there was nothing he could do.

Just then, Consort Shu took a deep breath and stepped forward, pulling several scarlet gems and crystals from her backpack, raising her arms high.

The gems and crystals glittered under the sunlight.

"Heavenly Dragon Lord! Look at these! How about trading them for a drop of your blood? The essence blood only needs to be condensed by you; it won't hurt!!" Her voice carried a strange calming power, clearly transmitting to the high sky.

Little Sixth Child heard Consort Shu's words, and its huge dragon head poked out from the clouds, its colorful dragon eyes fixed intently on the gems and crystals held high by Shu Fei Ma Suo.

Just as recorded in the ancient scroll, dragon-type creatures have very low resistance to glowing gems.

In the end, under Huang Chen's command and the temptation of the gems, Little Sixth Child slowly descended behind Huang Chen, though its eyes remained glued to the gems in Consort Shu's hands.

Consort Shu Ma Suo slowly stepped forward, gently placing the Scarlet Gems and strange Crystals in front of Little Sixth Child's massive dragon claw. "Heavenly Dragon Lord, these are all for you. We just need one small drop of your blood..."

Little Sixth Child cautiously looked at Consort Shu, then at Huang Chen, and after a while, extended its huge claw, carefully raking the gems and crystals under itself to guard them.

Then, it opened its enormous dragon mouth, and a drop of five-colored blood, only the size of a soybean but containing an indescribable vastness of life aura and the Power of Rules, slowly emerged from the tip of its tongue.

The moment this drop of blood appeared, the air in the entire Villa seemed to solidify. A pressure originating from the Source of Life quietly spread, causing both Benal and Huang Chen to feel a sense of dread.

Benal trembled with excitement upon seeing the Heavenly Dragon's essence blood, tears streaming down his face. He plopped down onto the ground, kowtowing with extreme reverence toward that drop of essence blood.

Shu Fei Ma Suo's expression became incredibly solemn and grave.

She stretched out both hands, palms facing upward, adopting a posture as if receiving a Sacred Relic, and gently held up the golden drop of blood suspended in the air.

The intense resonance and craving deep within her bloodline made her fingertips tremble slightly.

The moment her fingertips gently touched the drop of essence blood.

"Ohm!"

A low, ancient Dragon Roar, sounding as if it had traveled across endless space and time, reverberated directly in the depths of their souls, appearing out of thin air!
