SOUL LAND IV (DOULUO DALU) : ULTIMATE FIGHTING

Chapter 1119: Chapter 119: Master-Servant Contract, Evolution

The elder smiled faintly, came beside Lan Xuanyu, and said, “For the master-servant contract, you can use your own claw to pierce its head, directly infusing it with your Spiritual Power. It, in turn, will open its own Sea of Spirit, allowing you to enter. You need to leave a trace of your Spiritual Power and bloodline aura within. Once communication is complete, it will become your servant. What is called a contract is, in fact, an Imprint. By leaving your mark on its most vital spot, it will be loyal to you for its entire life.”

Lan Xuanyu nodded slightly, he couldn’t help but recall the portrait he had seen of the Moke Dragon Knight. The Moke Dragon Knight and his Mount Dragon must have had a master-servant contract.

Yan Cheng crept forward, lowering his head, presenting his massive head before Lan Xuanyu.

Atop its head was a single horn, also a brownish color, with a touch of what seemed to be a mad tinge. From the aura of the brown giant dragon, Lan Xuanyu could feel that what this dragon excelled in must be abilities related to close combat. Perhaps even strength as well.

He raised his right hand, his golden dragon claw protruding, extended his index finger and pierced at a point right in front of the horn on its head.

With a “ting!” a crisp sound, a brownish scale shattered, Lan Xuanyu’s claw had already drilled into Yan Cheng’s head.

Yan Cheng’s colossal body immediately began to tremble, clearly enduring immense pain.

Lan Xuanyu could feel that it was strenuously reining in its own defensive power and stress reactions, allowing his dragon claw to penetrate.

The process of forming this master-servant contract was actually very dangerous, which Lan Xuanyu had realized from the description given by the elder. To be pierced in the brain, all defenses must be let down, and the Sea of Spirit must be opened. Having the bloodline power and Spiritual Power implanted with a brand. If anything went even slightly awry in this process, its brain could very well be reduced to mush, leading to death. Yet, the elder seemed to consider this to be quite ordinary. It appeared as if the death of the servant side in a failed master-servant contract was nothing out of the ordinary.

Although he did not understand their mindset, Lan Xuanyu still proceeded as the elder had instructed.

A thread of his bloodline aura was separated, and as soon as the dragon claw had pierced into the skull and slightly touched Yan Cheng’s brain, it was injected in.

Lan Xuanyu’s Spiritual Power had improved even further; his control was just right.

But with the entry of this thread of bloodline aura, Yan Cheng’s body began to shake violently. All its dragon scales rose up along with it. The gigantic body quivered intensely, as if enduring some horrific pain.

The sight of it made the other mid-rank and lower-rank Dragon Clan members around them fall utterly silent, all watching nervously.

Within the Dragon Clan, establishing master-servant contracts was quite common. It was the best way for lower-rank Dragon Clan members to attach themselves to the higher-ranked ones, allowing them to move further up into the higher-rank Dragon Clan family hierarchy.

But the tricky thing was this master-servant contract; one misstep could be fatal. However, if one could become the first dragon to serve, they would also stand to gain the greatest benefits.

The number of master-servant contracts within the Dragon Clan wasn’t unlimited. Below God Rank, one could have at most three servants. For those above God Rank, even the Sky Dragon Leader had only twelve servants at most.

Yan Cheng was undoubtedly a tough character. Having witnessed Lan Xuanyu’s successful Ascending Dragon yesterday and having felt the aura he displayed, Yan Cheng had unhesitatingly acknowledged his master in front of the crowd of dragons upon being selected, and moreover on the Ascending Dragon Platform.

He was not only not foolish, on the contrary, he was very smart. The success rate of bonding with a master on the Ascending Dragon Platform would be higher. And, in front of the entire group of dragons, under the public eye, the likelihood of Lan Xuanyu not accepting it was relatively low.

The elder standing next to Lan Xuanyu also kept his gaze fixed on Yan Cheng. It wasn’t that he cared about the life and death of a Lower-rank Dragon Clan member; mainly, he was observing the kind of changes Yan Cheng would undergo due to the influence of Lan Xuanyu’s bloodline power.

It didn’t take long for those watching and waiting to see Yan Cheng undergo changes that appeared faster and more intense than imagined.

Beneath those raised scales was the tough dragon skin. At a visible speed to the naked eye, Yan Cheng’s dragon skin began to show a series of golden patterns. At first, these patterns spread like cracks, as if his body was about to collapse.

But soon, these patterns started to strengthen, and the golden light gradually covered his entire body and began to spread upwards, affecting the brownish scales that also started to be coated in gold.

The brownish scales gradually began to change, turning into a strange and deep bronze-gold color. Even more startling, causing a round of gasps, was the appearance of a dense patch of small scales under Yan Cheng’s belly where the pattern of scales had already been outlined; these were not as thick as the scales on his back, but they were indeed bona fide dragon scales!

Ascending Dragon, this was truly ascending. From the Lower-rank Dragon Clan promoted to the Mid-rank Dragon Clan.

The Lower-rank Dragon Clan could only be described as “it,” but when they advanced to the Mid-rank Dragon Clan and above, they were referred to as “he.” The difference in status was like heaven and earth!

All the Lower-rank Dragon Clan members who came to participate in the Ascending Dragon Competition had only one goal, and that was to ascend successfully. From being servants to the higher-ranked dragons to becoming a main force within the Dragon Clan.

No one expected that the first to succeed in ascending would be Yan Cheng, who had willingly recognized a master-servant contract.

Despite Yan Cheng’s belly already having the pattern of dragon scales, in reality, ascending to the Mid-rank Dragon Clan was not an easy matter for him. It required more accumulation and a moment of enlightenment. Only if he could break into the round-robin stage of the competition, then ascending to the Mid-rank Dragon Clan would be an outright impossibility.

The dragon elder standing next to Lan Xuanyu also widened his eyes in disbelief. This is…, bloodline, definitely the bloodline. Just a mere trace of bloodline power infusion allowed a Lower-rank Dragon Clan at the peak to directly promote to the status of the Mid-rank Dragon Clan?

At this moment, Yan Cheng, seemingly released from the shackles of bloodline restraint, saw his already massive body swell, becoming even more majestic. Within a short time, his body length had expanded from about thirty meters to more than thirty-five meters. His own aura underwent a drastic change. The thick bronze-gold scales on his back started to protrude one by one, forming triangular, solid spires extending from the head all the way to the tail. His bloodline aura continued to surge and strengthen.

Lan Xuanyu watched these changes and couldn’t help but feel amazed; he felt that Yan Cheng’s bloodline change was indeed caused by his own infusion of bloodline aura. It should be noted that he was still controlling and using only the Gold-striped Bluegrass’s attached Golden Dragon King bloodline aura, rather than the Dragon God’s bloodline, to avoid being detected.

Yet, merely this had caused such evolutionary change in Yan Cheng’s body, it was truly astonishing!

A brand of spirit also consequently fell into Yan Cheng’s Sea of Spirit. The bodily evolution allowed Yan Cheng to be more receptive to Lan Xuanyu than the initial Treasure Hunting Beast had been. The brand directly landed upon the Dragon Crystal in his brain, forming an imprint that belonged to Lan Xuanyu. It was as if a spiritual bridge was instantly formed, completing the communication between the two.

Lan Xuanyu felt a secret amazement. Was this really just a servant, or was it a Soul Spirit? It should be known that although Yan Cheng was not a Giant Dragon in the true sense but simply ascended from the Lower-rank Dragon Clan to the Mid-rank Dragon Clan, during the ascension process, his Cultivation had already risen to the level comparable to a Titled Douluo. If he were a soul beast, he would be on par with a hundred-thousand-year soul beast. And not just any hundred-thousand-year soul beast. How formidable was the body of a dragon?

The process of signing the master-servant contract was not long, but it was enough to leave the surrounding Mid-rank and Lower-rank dragons stunned speechless. Especially the Lower-rank dragons showed the most intense reaction; momentarily, many Lower-rank dragons started to move closer, their eyes filled with eager light.
