Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 627 - 84: The Acrophobic Flying Dragon Knight

Blue Dragons, mostly belonging to the Water Dragon category, are known for their docile nature. In terms of bloodline, they rank neither high nor low among the Sub-Asian Dragons. They can’t soar through the heavens like Flying Dragons, nor can they rival the unmatched running speed of Earth Dragons on land.

As a branch of Water Dragons, Lake King Blue Dragons are most adept at operating in aquatic environments. Unlike the Ruison Federation, the Dragon War Empire has only a few counties adjacent to seas or lakes, with most regions comprising mountainous and plain areas.

Choosing a Blue Dragon as her Contracted Dragon was not considered an excellent choice for Long Rui.

In the spectator stands, the members of the Long Family from the National Guardian General Residence also signaled to Long Rui, suggesting she give up on the Blue Dragon.

However, with the previous example set by Sha Xing, Long Rui’s choice was undoubtedly more challenging.

"You can choose the third Dragon Pillar. Compared to Earth Dragons and Flying Dragons, Water Dragons’ main strengths are not speed or attack capabilities, but rather, they have strong supportive abilities. For example, they can create Water Shields for defense, and the healing techniques of the Water Dragon clan are unmatched among Dark Beasts," Zhan Tian didn’t rush Long Rui. Among all the Quasi-Dragon Knights, although Long Rui came from a family, Zhan Tian had a rather favorable impression of her.

Long Rui was a rarity, born into a family yet untainted by the intricate scheming of family politics, with a pure heart.

Sub-Asian Dragons are fond of Dark Practitioners with simple minds.

Back in the Dragon Cave, Zhan Tian noticed that Long Rui had a natural affinity with the Sub-Asian Dragons.

She may never become a great Dragon Rider, but without a doubt, she would be a good ally to the Sub-Asian Dragons.

"Lord Zhan? Are you saying that Lake King Dragons are excellent in providing support, capable of obeying the Dragon Rider’s commands to assist comrades with healing and defense?" Every strength has its weakness, whether it be weapons, Dark Skill, or Dark Beasts, it’s always the case.

While Long Rui hesitated, upon hearing Zhan Tian’s hint, she quickly made up her mind.

She did not originally wish to contract with the Blue Dragon, fearing it would separate her from Yue Minzhi as a member of the Empire’s Water Dragon Camp. However, if she could become a powerful support Dragon Rider, then she would be free to join Yue Minzhi at any time in the future.

Long Rui, already calculating in her heart, agreed to contract with the Lake King Dragon, ignoring the opposition from the people of the National Guardian General Residence.

Becoming a Quasi-Dragon Knight requires strict selection, whereas becoming a Dragon Knight requires passing the Dragon Pulling Test. Compared to these, forming a contract with a Sub-Asian Dragon seems much simpler.

Zhan Tian took fresh blood from both Long Rui’s hand and the Sub-Asian Dragon’s body, mixed them together, and then drew a Dragon Pattern in front of Long Rui and on the Lake King Dragon’s chest.

After the Dragon Pulling Test, Long Rui just needs to accept the Dragon Rider Armor bestowed by Long Teng the 72nd to formally become a member of the Imperial Dragon Riders.

"Long Rui is indeed resolute," Yue Jinghua muttered inwardly, hoping her brother would also enjoy such good fortune next.

Perhaps influenced by Long Rui’s luck, the subsequent Dragon Rider candidates had an unusually smooth experience awakening their Dragon Pillars, with some even awakening the precious Flying Dragons.

To Yue Jinghua’s surprise, when it was Ji Yun’s turn, the lad confidently selected a Dragon Pillar.

A dazzling Dark Light emanated from his palm, which indicated that the strength of Ji Yun had already reached between the Dark Earth Peak and the Small Achievement of Dark Heavenly. Having not seen him for merely a few days, Ji Yun’s cultivation had progressed so rapidly, it caught Yue Jinghua’s attention.

Cheng Ying, seeing this, her delightful eyes flickered slightly, turned to look at the seats of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, only to see Ji Jie wearing a smug expression, occasionally engaging in conversation with several officials of the Ministry of Revenue beside him.

Cheng Ying understood the situation but kept silent.

Although a Dark Practitioner’s Cultivation level does not necessarily affect the contracting of a Sub-Asian Dragon, stronger Dark Power increases the likelihood of breaking the Dragon Pillar and establishing a spiritual connection with the Sub-Asian Dragon.

With a slap from Ji Yun’s palm, the pitch-black Dragon Pillar he had chosen began to shake.

"Rise," Ji Yun waved his hands and wrapped the Dragon Pillar in Dark Energy, instantly lifting it from the drill ground and sending it straight into the air.

Following the Dragon Pillar, he leaped upward, chanting an ancient Dragon Clan mantra. Suddenly, a dragon’s roar resonated through the sky, thunderous in its intensity.

"Boom," like fireworks exploding, the pitch-black Dragon Pillar cracked open, and a winged Flying Dragon emerged from the split column.

"Tsk, blind luck is still luck," Yue Jinghua genuinely felt pity for that Flying Dragon having the misfortune of encountering someone like Ji Yun.

"Congratulations, Lord Ji, your son has a Divine Skill unparalleled, a man of fortune blessed by the heavens indeed, to have attracted the favor of a Flying Dragon," upon witnessing such a scene, many in the crowd started to offer their congratulations to Ji Jie.

"This time, I’ve really hit the jackpot," the Old Fox Ji Jie thought to himself, "The Dragon Saliva Grass and Bone-breaking Pills bought from Yunhu Commerce might have cost me five million Dark Pills, but they truly made Yun’s strength advance by leaps and bounds. That sum of money was well spent."

Dragon Saliva Grass is a herb that grows outside the caves of Sub-Asian Dragons, which emits a fragrance that attracts the opposite sex of the Dragon Clan, garnering the goodwill of Sub-Asian Dragons.

The Bone Cleansing Pill is even a more rarely seen treasure, capable of improving a Dark Practitioner’s physique and instantaneously elevating their Dark Power by one Rank.

With these two treasures, Ji Yun was able to rapidly advance and even win the favor of a Sub-Asian Dragon.

When Ji Yun landed back in the drill ground, his expression was unlike his father’s beaming smile. Instead, he seemed somewhat shocked.

"A Bat Dragon! Ji Family’s boy, you’re quite lucky," Zhan Tian raised his eyebrows as he clearly saw the Sub-Asian Dragon that Ji Yun had awoken.

The Sub-Asian Flying Dragon that emerged from the Dragon Pillar was much smaller compared to other Sub-Asian Dragons, about the size of a Golden Peng Bird, a mini Sub-Asian Dragon species known as a Bat Dragon.

This species of Sub-Asian Dragon possesses the sensitivity and speed of a bat, excelling in rapid flight and sensory perception, and adept at ambushes.

"But can I really..." Zhan Tian gulped, what he really wanted to shout out loud was that he didn’t want to contract with any Flying Dragon.

But with thousands of eyes on him in the drill ground, and his father’s joyous expression in the spectator’s stand, he had no choice but to suppress his true feelings and speak them out loud.

Five million Dark Pills! If he refused to contract with the Sub-Asian Flying Dragon now, his father would indeed cripple him.

Faced with the countless envious gazes around, Ji Yun was now really in a dilemma, unable to voice his suffering. It should be noted that ever since he had taken a flying class at the Dragon Cave, he had discovered an extremely troubling fact.

"I’m afraid of heights," Ji Yun’s face was a picture of misery as he, amid everyone’s "blessings", grudgingly formed a contract with the Bat Dragon.
