The Strongest Dragon in the Era of Beast Taming-Chapter 836 - 830: The Trend Is Set

Chapter 836: Chapter 830: The Trend Is Set

[Buddha List Number One: David Jones (Level Eleven)]

“Could there be a malfunction? Isn’t the Buddha Tower only supposed to have nine levels, how did two more levels suddenly appear?”

A student with a puzzled look couldn’t suppress the doubt in their heart and spoke up to question.

Hearing this, Jackson Grant, who had been standing still, turned his head to look at the speaker with a displeased tone.

“Laughable, even a frog at the bottom of a well dares to speak nonsense, there’s so much you don’t know!”

“Oh, so you mean you know, then why not speak up and clear up the confusion for everyone?”

Facing President Grant, even though the speaker felt intimidated, they did not want to lose face in front of their classmates.

“You’re not qualified.”

Having said that, Jackson Grant walked away with his club members, completely disregarding the person’s flushed and embarrassed expression.

He had always felt that David Jones was extraordinary, a great genius worth making friends with, even planning to introduce his sister to David Jones for a powerful alliance.

Unfortunately, his sister had already taken a fancy to someone else, so he had to give up on that idea.

Now, seeing David Jones become more dazzling, Jackson Grant was growing increasingly uncomfortable.

He hadn’t lost his composure when he heard that David Jones had become a Dragon Subduing Deity, but now that he found out David Jones had surpassed the Origin Emperor to top the Buddha List, he couldn’t stay calm anymore.

Damn it, I had recognized his once-in-a-generation genius early on, why did I always pride myself on my lofty status and not seek his friendship more earnestly!

Thinking this, Jackson Grant slightly lifted his head, sighing with some disappointment.

“How could my vision be wrong? You should understand now, without me saying more,” he said.

At these words, the cheongsam-wearing woman finally snapped back to reality. She bit her lip, overwhelmed with mixed emotions, and dared not speak.

If it hadn’t been for her strong opposition, the person serving as the vice president of the Purple Haze Club might now be her older brother instead of some green, inexperienced girl.

At this moment, the impact of the change at the top of the Buddha List continued to reverberate.

…

In the Savage Wasteland, within the Darkblue Mountain Range.

Amidst the mountain range, ancient trees reached for the sky, and through the gaps in the leaves, one could faintly see an old man with a stern face and piercing eyes.

By the old man’s side, a Plant Pet with emerald green skin was in fierce combat.

This Pet’s skin was covered with fine emerald armor, and its palms bloomed with enchanting, exotic roses.

The bright petals were a dangerous blood-red color that could secrete terrifying poison lethal to Class VIII Emperors.

Green Poisoned Rose! Resembling a human, with a graceful figure, it was an extremely rare Pet of the Emperor breed.

“You can’t escape!”

As Blake Easton’s voice fell, the Fire Charm battling the Green Poisoned Rose suddenly stiffened, unable to move, and dark poison patterns began to emerge on its face, forming a dangerously toxic needle design.

“The rare poison of the Green Poisoned Rose has no antidote. If you’re willing to disclose the whereabouts of the Wood Azure Flood Dragon and the Evilheart Master, I can spare your life,” Blake Easton said calmly.

“Daydreaming.”

The moment after the Fire Charm refused, the lethal poison lurking within erupted violently.

Even its calamitous body, with its immortal trait, couldn’t withstand the horror of disintegration taking place.

“Stubborn fool.”

Blake Easton shook his head, looking down at the miniature communicator in his hand.

The self-destructing trick to break the sacred land’s seal may have temporarily saved those from the Evilheart faction, but it wouldn’t save them forever.

The god-slaying project was about to begin; the Seven Trials of Azura Dragon were imperative.

If the Evilheart faction thought to stop it through futile efforts, he would not mind letting the Evilheart Master understand what the heritage of a sacred land truly meant.

“Buzz! Buzz!”

At that moment, the communicator lit up, and the news about the change at the top of the Buddha List caught Blake Easton’s eye.

“Very good, very good indeed!” A hint of joy appeared in his eyes as he exclaimed.

“Worthy of being personally certified by the Club President as having an Immortal potential, Lilith really did take a fine apprentice!”

Although Blake Easton had valued David Jones’ potential before, he had not expected him to play a role in the god-slaying project.

After all, fifty years was too short a time for the younger generation to fully grow, and only those elders whose lives were nearing exhaustion with little time left could be sent to the front.

Now it seemed he had underestimated David Jones’ talent.

Even if he couldn’t become the Azure Dragon Envoy, with such a terrifying growth rate, David might still possess nearly the combat power of a Deity Trainer in forty-nine years.

“Resources are rare, and so are prodigies. It’s not just about a mere Rosewood Fruit, what if it were three!” Blake Easton activated his communicator and summoned the senior officials to start a meeting.

…

At Rosewood College, in the meeting room.

“The attendees have mostly arrived; we can start the meeting,” said Blake Easton’s hologram, getting straight to the point as he looked at Virgil Harvey.

“The main purpose of this meeting is to decide on this year’s allocation of the Rosewood Fruit. Director Hoyle believes that David Jones, the current Rosewood Leader, possesses legendary combat strength and is not far from Class VIII, qualifying him to participate in the distribution of the Rosewood Fruit. What do all of you think?”

Upon hearing this, the legendary powerhouses present all showed an odd expression.

They acknowledged David Jones’ legendary strength, but saying he was not far from Class VIII was stretching the truth.

Yet considering the news about the change at the top of the Buddha List, all the powerhouses fell silent.

To put it bluntly, they were stronger than David now, but what about the future?

The fact that he surpassed the Origin Emperor, a one-of-a-kind figure from the Middle Ages, at the age of twenty, showed that David already possessed the potential to sprint towards becoming an Immortal Trainer, and even possibly surpassing the Immortals.

As for the idea of cutting down one’s own talented prodigy?

The powerhouses present were no fools—they all understood the principle of one person’s attainment elevating those around them.

Even Virgil Harvey, the leader of the Harvey family’s fire vein, was now keeping a cold face, remaining silent.

If someone was willing to backstab within their own camp, let alone dealing with a rising star like David Jones.

Supporting one’s own genius was by no means disgraceful!

The powerhouses exchanged knowing glances.

Clearly, the meeting wasn’t really about whether David was qualified to receive a Rosewood Fruit; it was about which faction within Rosewood College had to sacrifice and give up a spot.

With that in mind, the powerhouses all looked towards Vice President Harvey.

Virgil Harvey kept his expression neutral, but his heart sank.

The allocation of the Rosewood Fruits had already been decided: two from the Harvey family’s fire vein, one each from the Harvey family’s wood vein and mountain vein, along with Pharmacy Department Professor Audrey Harvey and Beastmaster Department Professor Rolarte Boris—a total of six people.

If a Rosewood Fruit had to be allocated to David, unquestionably, the most suitable and most likely to be targeted was the fire vein led by him.

But on what grounds?

To secure these two Rosewood Fruits, he had expended a great deal of effort and time.

“This goes against the rules,” Virgil asserted in a heavy tone.

The domineering woman laughed and countered,

“Rules are made by people. I think David qualifies and has the strength to be allocated a Rosewood Fruit. Since Vice President Harvey disagrees, why don’t we put it to a vote?”

Virgil Harvey’s gaze shifted towards Blake Easton.

If David were presently at the apex of Class VII, there would be no need for a meeting; he would voluntarily remove a name himself.

But David had just broken through to Class VII Epic, and could completely wait until the Universe Eight-turns Golden Elixir furnace was opened (eight years later).

“Since that’s the case, let’s decide with a vote,” Blake Easton said crisply.

Seeing this, Lilith Hoyle revealed the smile of a victor.

It was clear from the votes at the scene—passed unanimously, with only Virgil Harvey abstaining—David Jones’ momentum was established.
