My Avatar is Becoming the Ultimate BOSS-Chapter 58 - 47 Red Dragon
Chapter 58: Chapter 47 Red Dragon
[Passive skill activated— "Restraint Detection."]
The system notification sound chimed, followed by a red and black panel popping up.
The scarlet text looked like the twisted body of a dragon, swaying in the flames for a moment before slowly reverting to its original form.
At the moment Ji Minghuan read the panel’s text, he raised an eyebrow slightly.
[Target Gender: Male]
[Target Attributes: Strength: A-level; Speed: A+ level; Spirit: A+ level]
[Extraordinary Race: Anecdote Envoy]
[Anecdote Envoy Level: A-level (This level can bind up to 5 Anecdote Fragments simultaneously)]
[Stored in the catalog is an Advanced Anecdote Fragment: Generational-level Anecdote Fragment— "Red Dragon Wales."]
Not a brother... What kind of configuration is this? All attributes A-level and a Generational-level Anecdote Fragment, isn’t that just below the Mythic level Anecdote?
Ji Minghuan thought to himself, taking a subtle sip of cola.
"The movie’s about to start, let’s go."
"Let’s go, let’s go."
The two got up from the sofa, showed their tickets at the entrance, and then walked into the screening room.
Two hours later, the movie screen in Theater 7 dimmed, and the audience left the cinema chatting and laughing.
It was already dark, and the glow of the sunset was replaced by neon lights laid out like dominoes.
Li Qingping said there was cooking at home tonight, and he couldn’t eat out, so Ji Minghuan went back first.
With his back to Li Qingping, Ji Minghuan walked into the bustling street, and after a few steps out of Li Qingping’s sight, he turned into a deserted alley.
The pitch black restraint belt surged from his body surface, instantly enveloping him. Under the effect of "Restraint Belt Color Change," he seemed to become an invisible man, with the restraint sensing fully open, bringing him awareness of all movements in all directions. The wind and grass stirring within dozens of meters competed for his ear, as did the overlapping footsteps from the crowd, sounding like thunderous roars.
Ji Minghuan diverted gravity throughout the restraint belt, leaping swiftly to the base of an air conditioning unit and then to the office building’s roof eaves.
He adjusted his breathing frequency and strength to the minimum, like a snake hiding in the woods waiting to hunt, his pupils reflecting Li Qingping walking among the crowd.
He silently followed Li Qingping for half an hour until he saw him get into a yellow taxi.
The car door closed, and the taxi headed towards the Li Jing Coast. The tide was already in at this hour, and few people approached Li Jing Coast; if spotted by a lifeguard, you’d be fined, but the taxi still moved towards that direction.
Before long, the taxi stopped near Li Jing Coast.
Ji Minghuan also landed on a nearby lighthouse’s top, using the restraint belt to hold onto the exhibition room’s window, swinging his figure inside. He leaned against the dust-covered windowsill, extending the restraint belt, silently observing Li Qingping as he moved onto the beach.
The night breeze was bleak, white tides crashing against black rocks and breaking into waves, the lighthouse’s searchlight casting onto the distant sea. fгeewebnovёl.com
Li Qingping first turned his head to check if anyone was around, then slowly looked up, only to see a long, distant whale song coming from deep within the sea, followed by the sea suddenly splitting in two as a massive creature slowly rose from the gigantic abyss.
Ji Minghuan gazed intently at the creature surfacing from the sea.
It was a red ochre whale, swept in with crashing waves from a corner of the horizon, rising from a massive vortex, its deep and vacant pupils scrutinizing the distant city, like a deity looking down on the human world from high above.
The largest known creature in the world currently is the "blue whale," but a blue whale can reach only 33 meters in length, whereas this red ochre whale is nearly two hundred meters long, comparable to the length of a Tennessee-class battleship.
The Legendary Whale — "Chikanao."
This name, heard from the Mentor’s mouth, floated in Ji Minghuan’s mind, and this scene engraved a concrete image on this pale symbol.
The next moment, the red whale opened its mouth, and from its abyssal maw emerged a pathway seemingly made of glass. An elderly man in a butler suit soon stepped out from it.
He suddenly summoned a catalog from the void, clutching it in his palm, opened one page, and extracted a card, shattering it.
With the card’s shattering, a massive oval glass barrier enveloped the world within hundreds of meters.
Ji Minghuan raised an eyebrow, looking outside the glass barrier to see a motorbike passing by on the coastal road, but the silhouette on the motorbike seemed unaware, as if... they couldn’t see it.
"Oh, is this a visual blockade ability?" Ji Minghuan thought.
"Member of the Royal Court Team, code name ’Red Dragon,’ correct?"
"Are you the new gatekeeper?"
"Yes, I’m called Nabis, and I’m now managing the entrance to the Whale Terrarium." The old man clasped his hands behind his back. "Mr. Red Dragon, as the vice captain of the Royal Court Team, you haven’t returned to the Whale Terrarium for several months now. May I ask why?"
"Busy with studies." Li Qingping said expressionlessly, "And besides, there’s been no trouble in the Whale Terrarium lately, so they don’t need me, do they?"
"Is that so." Nabis scratched his snow-white sideburns. "But some say you’ve grown tired of the world of Anecdote Envoys. What do you make of that rumor?"
"Do I need to explain anything?"
"Very well." Nabis said, "Just today, the Second Prince explicitly requested you return to the Whale Terrarium to accompany him to an auction in Tokyo in a few days. There’s something he wants there. Do you think you’re up for this task?"
"Are you joking? If it wasn’t for the Second Prince’s request, I wouldn’t even be back." Li Qingping paused, "Of course, if the Second Prince is willing to have someone else as his guard, I’d gladly give up the position."
"No, the Second Prince specifically wants ’Red Dragon’ as his guard." Nabis said, "I heard that some infamous villains in the mundane world may appear at that Tokyo auction."
"White Crow Travel Brigade."
"Exactly, White Crow Travel Brigade." Nabis nodded, "Should the auction truly be attacked, can you assure the Second Prince’s safety?"
"Of course."
"Then please enter, Mr. Red Dragon. The Second Prince has been waiting for you in the Imperial Palace for quite some time."
Saying this, Nabis bowed slightly in salute.
Li Qingping stepped onto the glass pathway, passed by him, and walked step by step into the whale’s mouth. Soon after, the Legendary Whale shut its massive jaws and submerged again into the sea, with the glass barrier shrouding the coast disappearing.

At this moment, using "Restraint Sensing" to overhear the entire conversation between the two, Ji Minghuan couldn’t help but be stunned for a long while.
After a while, he sighed: "Is it too late to quit the brigade now?"
