"Grandpa, you're here . " Gao Peng, who was training his familiars at the lakeside, saw his grandfather walked over and greeted him .
"Training your familiars again?" Ji Hanwu looked over to the familiars Gao Peng was with .
Da Zi and Stripey were having a dazzling battle . Both of them were Epic grade familiars, and both of them were around level 30 . One had a flying attack ability, and the other had its spider webs to control the battlefield . The spider webs were enough to mitigate the fact that Stripey couldn't fly . Sometimes, the battle grew so intense that it was difficult to tell who was who .
However, the fight on the other side was even more intense .
"Haaa," Goldie raised its foot and jumped, its 30-foot-tall body going into the air with its flat beak pointing downwards and the tops of its wings clenched into fists . Then it punched forward . The muscles at the tops of its wings were pushed together and almost formed a spherical shape .
Bang!
Dumby was sent flying by Goldie's punch, but landed steady on the ground . It used the black bones in the sole of its foot to hook on the ground, digging deep into the dirt .
"Not bad…" Dumby said slowly . He straightened his right hand, reached for his back, and held onto his black tailbone . He suddenly pulled forward and the four-foot-long tailbone instantly broke away from his vertebrae . Each part of the bone started to straighten . It became a sword in Dumby's hands .
Red veins emerged from the crack of Dumby's fingers . The red veins slowly entangled around the bone sword, making the bone sword more durable and much easier to control .
Dumby had only been in the slaughterhouse for three weeks, yet his level had grown rapidly from 33 to 39 . He was only 2 levels away from being promoted to the Lord-tier .
The speed in which Dumby was gaining levels was beyond Gao Peng's expectation . However, it had slowed down ever since Dumby had reached level 36 . Dumby had been stuck at level 39 for three days .
Goldie had also been leveling up very quickly . The speed at which it leveled up was fast simply because it was Gao Peng's lowest level familiar . It had reached the Commander-tier two weeks before, and it was currently at level 24 . After Goldie was promoted to the Commander-tier, its grade was downgraded from Legendary grade to Epic grade . Since it had reached the Legendary grade before, it wouldn't be difficult for it to reach it again .
Gao Peng had to use a lot of precious materials to restore Goldie back to Legendary grade .
When a Legendary monster and an Epic monster fought, and their levels were both similar, the Legendary grade monster would dominate the battle .
This was why Dumby was the best sparring partner for Goldie .
Dumby first summoned hundred of undead monsters to surround and attack Goldie . Goldie's body expanded to the preposterous height of 35 feet due to the attacks from the undead monsters surrounding and attacking it .
Then Dumby stopped casting its Flame of the Undead ability . Just because it could summon the undead to fight for it, it didn't mean it couldn't fight using its own strength .
Another effect of the Flame of the Undead was that it discreetly strengthened Dumby's bones . Coupled with the Blood-Thread Heart's explosive power, Dumby was extremely terrifying to fight against at close range . If someone mistakenly assumed Dumby was a frail necromancer and wanted to beat it by bypassing its minions and attacking him directly, they would be met with a world of pain .
"Kill!" Dumby pointed its sword forward and rushed out . It opened his body wide, making itself look like a mountain rushing forward .
Its sword fighting skills had been taught by a hired sword master .
Dumby's bones were harder than the best metal wheels on the market, so he didn't need any armor . However, some of the ancient human sword fighting techniques were of use to Dumby . His body proportion was similar to that of a human being . Some of the sword fighting techniques that were suitable for humans were also suitable for Dumby .
It didn't matter that Goldie was able to expand hundreds of times in size . In the end, Dumby was still the victor of this battle .
Dumby could've ended the battle right as it began . However, he was helping train Goldie, which was why the battle lasted for as long as it did .
After all, the difference in their levels was extremely large . Even though Goldie had risen in level, it was still currently at level 24 . Besides, most of Dumby's attacks were purely physical . Goldie's elemental resistance ability was of no use .
"Not bad," Grandpa praised . "You're now strong enough to protect yourself . "
Gao Peng was happy that he could hear his grandpa's praise .
"There's one more week before the World Youth Trainer Championship," Grandpa said to Gao Peng . "For you to be a referee at your current level is a bit iffy . If you want to convince the public and silence all criticism, you need to have a Lord-tier familiar before entering the competition!"
Gao Peng went silent . This issue gave him a headache . Going by the current speed of Dumby's growth, he should have been able to reach level 40 by the time he entered the competition . However, getting to the Lord-tier required even more time .
Gao Peng didn't doubt his ability to get his familiars up to the Lord-tier, but he needed more time .
"The White Dragon is preparing for its breakthrough tonight," Grandpa suddenly said .
"Oh . " Gao Peng was somewhat shocked . However, after thinking for a while, Gao Peng remembered the first time he had seen the White Aquatic Dragon, when it had already been at level 50 . Now that a few months had passed, it would have been strange if it had stayed at Lord-tier . "Okay . I'll help guard for you tonight," Gao Peng said seriously .
Ji Hanwu laughed heartily . He only patted Gao Peng on his shoulders and didn't say anything else .
If the White Aquatic Dragon evolved, it would be promoted to the Legendary Emperor-tier monster . This was the highest monster tier that humans had made contact with .
Uncle Liu's two Lord-tier familiars rushed over, perhaps because the White Aquatic Dragon was about to have its breakthrough .
The night was approaching, the sky getting darker and darker . The dark clouds in the sky gradually covered the moon, blocking the moonlight and lowering the visibility . A crescent moon rose from the horizon, its light shining on the lake . The night was incredibly quiet .
Small ripples started to appear on surface of the lake, and they were coming from the center . The speed started to become faster and faster . In the end, they turned into violent waves on the lake's surface .
Swish!
A column of water rushed towards the sky, rising hundreds of feet high, then falling and splashing in all directions like a fountain .
However, the falling water droplets that flew into the sky didn't fall back into the lake . Instead, they evaporated into the air .
Gao Peng stood on the second floor of the villa . He could feel the air growing more moist and see the visibility decreasing .
Half an hour had passed, and the White Dragon had engulfed nearly the whole Southern Sky Group . The company's workers had all stopped working . They gathered together and discussed what was happening .
Some of the upper management stood by the building's windows and stared in the direction of the villa with serious expressions on their faces .
People who had a more sensitive sense of smell were already able to smell a change in the air .
. . .
In the meantime, a huge figure emerged from the lake . It was wandering about in the thick fog, swallowing the clouds and spitting out smoke while moving around like it was wind .
However, when Gao Peng saw the White Dragon's attributes, he felt shock instantly . Suspicion started to fill his heart .
This… White Dragon is already at level 51 .
Does this mean it was already successfully promoted? Or did it just reach its breakthrough just now?
