Chapter 157: Beast Control Arcana, Ultimate Treasure
Below the dimensional passage, inside the maglev airship.
“Old Ma, see that? Your Tianwei’s Bai Ya is no match for Ling Jiu!”
“How did this kid get so strong?”
The old man who looked like *The Beast from Kungfu Hustle [1]*could not hide his shock. “The tortoise shell that Bai Ya could not even destroy using her Annihilation Thunder was smashed apart by him with just a punch?”
“Bai Ya that lass sure is strong but the Annihilation Thunder seems to consume an extreme amount of Gene Arcana. Otherwise, she would have killed that tortoise!”
The camp commandant’s eyes let out a sharp glint. “It’s a pity, if this girl had the Hundred-fold or even the Thousand-fold Gene Arcana, her combat power would have changed dramatically.”
“Aih, Old Li, your eyes sure are sharp.”
The old man smiled bitterly. “While the Annihilation Thunder is indeed very powerful, but it consumes a boatload of Gene Arcana, causing that lass, Bai Ya to be forever short on Gene Arcana.”
“A pity, really!”
The camp commandant sighed.
“Now it appears that among these batch of trainees, the one that can only compete against Ling Jiu is Hao Shuai of the Freedom Alliance.” A skinny old man laughed.
“Hao Shuai may not be Ling Jiu’s match.”
“Indeed, while Hao Shuai has Blink Arcana, Ling Jiu has Dimensional Arcana.”
“Hao Shuai has Super Physique, and Ling Jiu’s metalization-type Arcana[2] isn’t any inferior too.”
Wang Dalong analyzed. “The only difference is Time Halt, but Ling Jiu has Gravity Arcana, and that restrains the Time Halt Arcana to a certain extent.”
“If he used his Gravity Arcana to envelop his own body, so what if time stopped?”
“Hao Shuai still can’t attack Ling Jiu! Also, once he falls into the gravity quagmire, he’ll become meat on Ling Jiu’s chopping board. It’s hard to say who will emerge victorious.”
Everyone nodded.
“Just wait and see, Hao Shuai can definitely defeat Ling Jiu!”
The skinny old man shouted as he perched his neck out.
“How about... we let them compete against each other?”
Wang Dalong suddenly thought about it, and everyone else turned their eyes on him.
“Old Wang, what are you planning?”
“Didn’t the nanomachine detectors just locate an Ultimate Treasure of Heaven and Earth? How about we give it to the trainees?” Wang Dalong smiled.
“You mean that tree?”
Everyone was stunned.
“Yes, that tree!”
Wang Dalong continued. “Not only is that tree extremely sturdy, it could also shrink and grow freely. It can also absorb Gene Arcana to continue growing and is a very powerful ultimate wood-type cold weapon.”
...
Everyone was silent for a moment before nodding one after another. It was just an ultimate cold weapon, and it did not matter to an Arcanist of their level.
But for the trainees, it was a treasure of terrifying power.
Especially wood-based cold weapons, it was most suitable for large-scale battle. As long as there was enough Gene Arcana, it could create a vast forest in a short period of time.
“Then I’ll announce it?”
“Go ahead.”
“Up to you.”
“You’ve been planning this for a long while now eh?”
...
Just like how a normal chakra was turned into Senjutsu Chakra[3], the power of their ninjutsu will also be greatly enhanced, all of Ling Jiu’ s Arcana’s power had increased by ten-fold.
His Gravity, Tungsten-Form, Dimensional, Five Element Control...
No, a Dimensional Shackle alone was enough to lock the mighty Skyfire Bull Dragon in place, rendering it unable to move at all.
“Little girl, it’s done!”
Ling Jiu turned and looked at Wangwang.
“A-A-Amazing!”
Wangwang was absolutely dumbstruck.
Bai Ya too was stunned. It was not like she had not dealt with this monster before.
But this monster had thick skin and flesh and was extremely powerful that she could not do anything to it after fighting for a good part of the day, so she had to give up.
Otherwise, why would she ask Ling Jiu for help, and not take everything for herself instead?
But she never thought that Ling Jiu would so easily suppress the monster that she could do nothing about. How strong was Ling Jiu actually?
“He is really strong!”
Bai Ya said slowly.
“I’ve heard from the others that this guy is called Ling Jiu, and is the ace of Pangu Super Training Camp?”
Wangwang murmured. “As expected of Pangu’s ace, his strength is undisputed, but he’s just too greedy and don’t know how to treat a woman right.”
“Ling Jiu...”
Bai Ya mumbled.
“Oi! What are you two lollygagging about? Or do you not want the monster anymore?”
Seeing the two girls whispering to each other without taking any action for a good while, Ling Jiu urged them.
“Coming!” Wangwang replied immediately. “Sister, let’s go over!”
“Yeah.”
When the two girls came forward, Wangwang looked at the Skyfire Bull Dragon with excitement. A green light gleamed in her eyes, as if she were looking at a rare treasure.
“Hurry up and tame it!”
Ling Jiu urged impatiently.
“Hmph!”
Wangwang snorted softly, as two misty silver lights burst out from her eyes before entering the head of the Skyfire Bull Dragon.
The Skyfire Bull Dragon shuddered all over as the intensity of its struggle suddenly increased. It was resisting Wangwang’s control.
However, under the Dimensional Shackle, its frantic struggle was to no avail.
After a moment, the Skyfire Bull Dragon’s struggle gradually weakened. The brutality and menace in its eyes disappeared, and were replaced by submission and meekness.
Clearly!
It was tamed!
“Done!”
Wangwang heaved a sigh of relief and wiped away the beads of sweat on her forehead. Her face was a bit pale. Apparently, controlling the Skyfire Bull Dragon was not easy.
“Thank you... No, we shouldn’t thank you, we paid for this!”
Wangwang spat her tongue while taking a glance at Ling Jiu before she continued. “Alright, you can let it go.”
Ling Jiu dispelled the Dimensional Shackle, and the Skyfire Bull Dragon regained its freedom. Instead of launching an attack like just now, it rubbed against Wangwang docilely.
“From now on, you’ll be my first pet!”
Wangwang stroked the Skyfire Bull Dragon’s head and said with joy. “Your head looks like a cow’s head. I’ll call you Moomoo from now on!”
...
Ling Jiu was speechless. You called such a majestic Direbeast Moomoo?
What sort of shitty name was that?
However, the Beast Control Arcana sure is amazing. To turn such a ferocious monster into a docile Husky, how awesome is that?
Afterwards, Ling Jiu took out the energy crystals from the next, and then counted them.
“Happens to be 118 crystals, as we have agreed, I’ll take 65 and you’ll take 53. Alright?”
“No problem!”
Bai Ya nodded.
“Here!”
Ling Jiu handed over the 53 energy crystals and said with a smile. “If there’s such cooperation again in the future, come look for me. I’m a very fair person after all!”
“You? Fair?”
Wangwang rolled her eyes. “You’re a pervert and a miser. We will not work with you again! See you... no, never see you again!”
“Regardless, thank you.”
Bai Ya thanked him. Although her face was expressionless, the sincerity in her tone could be heard.
She knew better than Wangwang that although Ling Jiu had taken more than half of the energy crystals, but without him, they could not get a single piece at all.
Not to mention getting a powerful Skyfire Bull Dragon along the way!
In all, it was a win-win!
“Happy working with you.”
Ling Jiu smiled slightly and prepared to leave. Unexpectedly at this moment, a loud voice suddenly rang out.
“Attention all trainees!”
“Attention all trainees!”
“Attention all trainees!”
“An Ultimate Treasure of Heaven and Earth have been found in the northwest. Interested trainees can head over to have a look.”
