Chapter 58:- DEAL YOUR OWN TROUBLE YOURSELF.
•=====^====°===°====^=====•
[ After deducing the intricacies of the dragon blood's domain power and absorbing its energy, Host felt an increase in his abilities. Yet, you sensed its limitations and started to analyze ways to elevate its potency even further.]
[With the guidance of your extraordinary enlightenment system, Aka- 'Me,' you attempt to integrate the Soul Refining Technique with your Dragon God energy essence. This fusion has the potential to immobilize powerful opponents above the one major stage.]
[ This technique was deduced and created by you, and it is 100% compatible with you.]
Following the successful integration of the soul refining technique with his Dragon Soul Domain, Xiao fan felt like a total boss and cracked a huge smile.
Even Zu Long was impressed, not merely by the technique itself, but by the system's capabilities, given that Xiao fan had been transparent about its workings and granted him permission to observe.
Noticing Zu Long's silence and contemplative demeanor,Xiao Fan wondered, "Senior, you okay?"
Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, Zu Long's eyes narrowed, and a hint of an unusual smile played on his lips as he proposed, 'I have an intriguing idea'. I want you to be my Ginnepi..ahem ~ahem. I mean, i want you to be my research partner. Trust me, this is going to be a win-win for you.
Xiao Fan acquiesced to Zu Long's proposal without resistance.
"Btw,What's the advantage?" Xiao inquired with a hint of curiosity. Zu long with a smiley face replied, "Be prepared, I've just developed a novel technique and yeah only you may able to use this in this universe. However, I advise you to reserve its use for situations where it's truly necessary, Beware don't bust it out unless you have to kiddo."
"Alright, pay attention and get it. How well you grasp this technique is up to you, so don't slack off."
With a deep breath, Xiao Fan composed himself and concentrated on mastering the technique, remaining oblivious of his surroundings.
Time zipped by like watching- 30 min episodes of one piece anime. And after a long time (T/N:-only 30 mins.. anyway)Xiao Fan eyes opened with a stunned expression.
Xiao Fan turned to Zu Long, utterly speechless at the unexpected technique. Words failed him as he struggled to comprehend what he had just witnessed. Noticing Xiao Fan's reaction, a faint smirk curled at the corner of Zu Long's lips.
"So, kiddo, how does it feel? You just got your hands on a Divine-Level technique and here's the kicker, I've never taught it to anyone. Not even my own daughter, Yaoyao.You are the very first individual to learn it besides myself. Take pride in that, and I must insist that you guard it closely, refraining from sharing it with anyone, including your acquaintances in the chat group"
"This… this cannot be real, senior. Are you toying with me? Such a technique can I truly wield it? Tell me… "Getting his hands on a Divine-Level technique should've made Xiao Fan happy, but instead, he was just stunned, confused and totally thrown off. All he wanted now were answers, because if life had taught him anything, it was that the 'free stuff' usually comes with the biggest catch.
The old dragon met Xiao Fan's gaze with a gentle smile, as though the moment had long been written in his heart."Kiddo, I know exactly what you're about to say. Look, I'm nothing more than a broken spirit right now, but thanks to you, I can feel the tiniest shift… a chance to resurrect myself. So think of this as me reinvesting in you. Don't worry, I'll make sure a path is paved for you. You're not alone you've got me at your back."
"Alright, but you've got to take me on as your student, senior. Otherwise, I'm just gonna feel like I owe you way too much–like, the kind of debt I couldn't pay back in this life or the next. So, please… let me learn from you."
"My, My… well then, I'll accept you as my disciple in this universe. But before we go any further did you forget I can still hear your thoughts?" Xu Long grinned, clearly amused by what he'd heard in Xiao Fan's mind: A being of Creator-God level living in my body, and I don't grab the chance to become his student? That would be the dumbest decision of my life.
"Haha, well… about that, teacher…" Xiao Fan said, rubbing his nose in embarrassment.
-----
After the formalities had concluded,Zu Long suddenly turned his gaze toward the vast forest, his tone growing heavy.
"Kiddo, there's a dark force heading for that lake… a really powerful beast. It looks like a white tiger—wait a second…"
Before he could finish, the ground began to shake. The wind howled, and the air turned heavy, as if a disaster was about to descend.
To be continued...
