Chapter 165: Chapter 134: The Third Contract, Spirit of the Flood Dragon
"Able to awaken talent deeply."
"I don’t know exactly how to awaken it deeply either."
"However, don’t ever let anyone know it’s in your hands, or you’ll face endless trouble."
Just as the Mandala Grass Emperor finished speaking, its head was suddenly hit with a thud. Before passing out, it saw the Sunflower Emperor holding an enormously large brick.
To its shame, it was knocked to the ground by that brick.
Since the Mandala Grass Emperor mentioned not letting others know, the Sunflower Emperor could only endure the hardship of helping Mandala Grass Emperor clean its memory through physical means.
I, the Sunflower Emperor, am not adept at martial arts, only slightly acquainted with some hand-to-hand skills.
Ye Bai was still rubbing that piece of jade.
He saw the Sunflower Emperor wave its sharp leaf and gently cut across Ye Bai’s thumb, allowing blood to fall upon the jade.
As the blood continued to drip onto the jade, it was gradually stained red, and eventually, it began to throb.
It transformed from a piece of jade into a pulsating heart,
Ye Bai only felt a pain in his heart as the Seven-Orifice Exquisite Jade embedded itself within it.
He felt he indeed had too many secrets.
Whether it’s the Eye of Insight, the Seven-Orifice Exquisite Jade, or the origins of Big Gray, any revelation could lead to lethal pursuit.
He had thought about using the power of the Flame Country to protect himself.
But he didn’t dare take that risk, for he had too many secrets.
It seemed he’d need to remain low-key in the future, low-key, damn low-key.
When Ye Bai returned to the research institute, Zhang Lingxue was spinning in circles in the institute holding two rabbits.
The Positive Rabbit and the Negative Electric Rabbit in her arms had successfully advanced to Tier Three.
"What exactly is going on here?"
His mouth hadn’t been enchanted with opening yet.
"These two guys ate the Thunder Element Core of an Ancient Lantern Fish, which the Sunflower Emperor brought back from Deep Sea City, and advanced."
This was indeed a significant discovery.
The experiment with the Positive Rabbit had gone from nothing to the Positive Rabbit advancing to Tier Three.
This was all a major breakthrough.
"So I have an idea, by analyzing the main components of the core, to develop a potion that can advance the Positive Rabbit to Tier Three."
"What do you think?"
Ye Bai thought the proposal was excellent.
"Once the Positive Rabbit and Negative Electric Rabbit reach the peak of Tier Three, we can start researching their evolution."
"For now, this period of research will have to pause."
Zhang Lingxue took off her gold-framed glasses, revealing her clear and foolish big eyes.
"As for the Blood Storm Rat Emperor, it may indeed require the blood pool for research."
"If there weren’t so few people with the Eye of Insight, I’d even invite one to help see how to solve it."
"Especially that mutated Blood Storm Rat King, I’m completely at a loss."
Zhang Lingxue seemed a bit frantic, yet Ye Bai’s mind stirred.
This was a project he could definitely tackle, and he also wanted to see if the Spiritual Crystal Core of the mutated Blood Storm Rat King could enable his spiritual power to transform.
"Teacher, I’ve already found the location of the Poisonous Flood Dragon."
Ye Bai suddenly spoke up.
"Ye Bai, do you think the two of us could really accomplish the feat of slaying a Flood Dragon?"
When it really came to slaying the Flood Dragon, Zhang Lingxue became a bit unsure of herself.
"Teacher, you must believe in yourself. You must give yourself confidence."
Ye Bai had already prepared many backup plans.
He had been nurturing the spiritual quality of the Dragon-slaying Sword these few days, and now, the Dragon-slaying Sword could even float in the air, emitting a deafening Dragon’s Roar.
The spiritual qualities of seven Dragon-slaying Swords had almost fully recovered, and it was time to proceed to the next step.
"Alright, I’ll risk my life to accompany a gentleman."
"To complete the feat of slaying a Flood Dragon."
"When do we take action?"
Zhang Lingxue asked.
"Two days from now."
Zhang Lingxue was left dumbfounded, wondering why two days from now.
"Haven’t you watched the news?"
"Because a pier of Jiaying River needs temporary maintenance."
"So it requires the upstream dam of Jiaying River to be closed."
"In two days, the Jiaying River should be almost dried up."
"That’s the best time for us to strike."
"I’ve also checked the recent weather forecast, and it won’t rain for the next three days."
"With the right timing, geographical, and human harmony, how could we not succeed in this dragon-slaying mission?"
Ye Bai declared decisively.
This news was also something Ye Bai saw at the Pet Beast Union and posted on the bulletin board.
At this moment, Ye Bai realized he was somewhat too reliant on the intelligence system, causing him to overlook some information that was within reach.
"Alright, this is a good opportunity for me to prepare as well."
"The venom of the Poisonous Flood Dragon is of extremely high research value, I must save a portion for testing."
After reminding Zhang Lingxue, Ye Bai returned to the Cultivation House.
The Dragon-slaying Swords hovered in the air, constantly changing position, forming a Sword Array.
Ye Bai gritted his teeth, planning to advance the Spirit Summoning of the Dragon-slaying Sword ahead of time.
Only then could he better control the Dragon-slaying Sword to attack the Poisonous Flood Dragon.
Ye Bai took out the egg of a Sword Butterfly, which emitted a metallic gleam, and Thousand Dragon Slash lightly scraped, causing drops of crystalline liquid to fall from the crack, onto the Dragon-slaying Sword.
Only one Sword Butterfly egg was enough to perform Spirit Summoning for one Dragon-slaying Sword.
Ye Bai chose the Thousand Dragon Slash.
But during the process, an unexpected event occurred: the other Dragon-slaying Swords actually knocked the Thousand Dragon Slash aside, letting the liquid fall on themselves.
Ye Bai was dumbfounded.
The two Thousand Dragon Slashes competed for five drops each, while the five Hundred Dragon Slashes each took a drop.
They began to quiver, emitting waves of Dragon’s Roar, forming a unique resonance, the emitted glow engulfing Ye Bai.
The spirit of the flood dragon sleeping within the Thousand Dragon Slash was gradually awakened.
The deafening Dragon’s Roar echoed in Ye Bai’s ears, while a giant flood dragon appeared in his vision.
The flood dragon was entirely golden, with an enormous body, golden pupils staring at Ye Bai.
It had four legs, the front ones resembling broad paddles for swimming.
The tip of its tail was as sharp as a trident.
There was a protruding flesh mass on its head, where a dragon horn had yet to grow.
A sharp Sword Qi struck Ye Bai’s wrist, causing blood to spurt out wildly.
The blood landed at the brow of the gigantic flood dragon spirit, and Ye Bai’s third Contract Position appeared in the shape of a flood dragon.
The flood dragon spirit successfully contracted with Ye Bai, becoming his third Pet Beast.
Ye Bai never imagined he would contract with the flood dragon spirit in such a peculiar way.
The immense flood dragon spirit dispersed, transforming into two Thousand Dragon Slashes and five Hundred Dragon Slashes.

All Dragon-slaying Swords were absorbed into the Pet Beast Space.
The successful contract of the flood dragon spirit marked that Ye Bai’s plan could continue forward.
Under Ye Bai’s control, the Dragon-slaying Swords acted like extensions of his limbs. He could easily use spiritual power to control the Dragon-slaying Swords and form a Sword Array.
However, Ye Bai was a bit disappointed that his contract with the flood dragon spirit resulted in the skill Dragon Roar.
This made Ye Bai’s face twitch; it was like he had learned the Buddhist Lion’s Roar.
After completing the Spirit Summoning and contract ceremony, it was already the middle of the night, almost dawn, and Ye Bai just waited to finish looking through the intelligence before going to bed.
