322: National Destiny Monument

“This little brat, he absorbs things so quickly!”

Leaning back on the sofa, Yang Daoming looked at Wang Chen, who was beaming with joy, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

As a top-tier Heaven And Earth Treasure, life dew contains extremely vast life energy. Although it’s just a small teacup, its quantity is equivalent to the total of hundreds of 5th Rank Awakeners.

Originally, Yang Daoming estimated that after Wang Chen consumed it, even with the Beast Master sharing the burden, it would take at least an hour to absorb.

But now, in less than ten minutes, all the energy contained in the life dew had been absorbed by Wang Chen.

This speed made even Yang Daoming, with all his experience, feel a little shocked.

One must know that when that little rascal Bai Ziting tricked him out of life dew back then, it was also a small teacup, but it took him more than forty minutes to absorb it completely.

At that time, Bai Ziting's strength had already reached the 5th Rank.

And now, Wang Chen is only Rank 3, yet his absorption speed is even faster than Bai Ziting's 5th Rank back then!

“As expected of someone who can make it onto the Ten Thousand Realms Prodigy Ranking, this kid has astonishing qualities in every aspect!”

“Oh right, he’s also a Giant-Beast Master and contracted three Divine Beasts without any external help. His Luck is also astonishing!”

Yang Daoming took small sips of the life dew in his cup, concealing the unusual look in his eyes.

To be honest, he now had the urge to put aside his Face and trick Wang Chen into becoming his disciple.

Such a disciple, taking him out to meet those old guys, would simply give him too much Face!

“Lin Feng, that kid, his Luck is too good!”

“I’m a little jealous right now!”

Thinking silently, Yang Daoming suddenly felt that the life dew he was drinking no longer tasted good!

And at this moment.

“Marshal Yang’s generosity, this junior will never forget it!”

Wang Chen, having recovered from the joy of his improvement, bowed respectfully and thanked Yang Daoming.

This cup of life dew had brought him such a significant improvement!

The additional five hundred-plus attribute points once again created a huge gap between him and his peers.

“It’s nothing!”

“You don’t need to be so polite in front of this old man. You are a Prodigy of my Dragon Country. In the future, just remember your origins!”

Yang Daoming waved his hand, helping Wang Chen up, his eyes filled with immense satisfaction.

Reaching the Ten Thousand Realms Prodigy Ranking at such a young age, Wang Chen's talent and Heart-Nature both greatly pleased him.

As long as he grows up, he will surely be the cornerstone of the Dragon Country in the future, capable of protecting the Dragon Country's peace for hundreds of years.

“Oh right.”

“This old man called you over this time because there’s another benefit for you.”

“Follow me!”

As he spoke, Yang Daoming stood up and waved his hand, opening a portal on the wall.

“Another benefit?!”

Wang Chen’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, and he quickly followed.

After passing through the portal, the two arrived in a tall and spacious hall.

The hall was extremely vast, with giant pillars several tens of meters high supporting the dome. There was no decoration, only a ten-meter-high stone tablet emanating a heavy aura, situated in the center.

Beneath this stone tablet, an old figure sat cross-legged with closed eyes, and the aura emanating from him made Wang Chen feel an immense sense of dread.

The oppressive feeling this figure gave him was even stronger than Yang Daoming’s!

“Originally, this matter should have waited until you were in your senior year, but those old guys have very high expectations for you and intend for you to participate in this year’s Global Prodigy Competition.”

Upon arriving here, Yang Daoming explained to Wang Chen while leading him towards the stone tablet.

Soon, the two arrived beneath the tall, ancient-looking stone tablet.

“Elder Wang, I’ve brought him!”

Stopping in front of the stone tablet, Yang Daoming bowed respectfully to the old figure with closed eyes.

“This young fellow is Wang Chen?”

Elder Wang nodded, and a pair of slightly cloudy eyes fell upon Wang Chen, suddenly shooting out two beams of light.

“Greetings, Elder Wang.”

Wang Chen bowed respectfully, his gaze curiously sneaking glances.

However, to his shock, no matter how he looked, he couldn't discern the old man's appearance. Only those slightly cloudy eyes carried a magical power that seemed to penetrate everything.

“Not bad!”

“Full of Qi and blood, Divine Soul stable. In the past two hundred years, you, young man, are the one I've seen with the greatest probability of breaking the shackles of the Awakener system.”

As Wang Chen secretly observed, Elder Wang nodded, seemingly very satisfied with him.

“Young Yang, next, you explain the situation to this young fellow. I’ll go back to my seclusion for now.”

After instructing Yang Daoming, Elder Wang’s figure vanished without a trace beneath the stone tablet.

“Farewell, Elder Wang.”

Yang Daoming bowed deeply, then looked at Wang Chen with a sense of relief.

“Are you full of questions about everything here?”

“Yes!”

Wang Chen nodded, asking cautiously:

“Marshal Yang, who was that senior just now?”

“That is the foundation protecting my Dragon Country, an Emperor-level expert who has transcended Nine Revolution. From the very beginning of the will of the heavens’s revival, he has been guarding my Dragon Country!”

Yang Daoming said with a serious expression and reverence in his words.

Emperor-level expert?

Has been guarding the Dragon Country since the beginning of the will of the heavens’s revival?

Wang Chen’s body trembled upon hearing this, and an immense sense of awe suddenly rose in his heart.

What kind of powerful existence was this?

Having lived for over seven hundred years, he was probably no different from an immortal god!

And what kind of terrifying origin would the stone tablet protected by such an existence have?

Thinking with shock in his heart, Wang Chen’s gaze involuntarily fell upon the tall, ancient stone tablet.

“This is the ancient tablet formed by the condensation of my Dragon Country’s Luck! It represents my Dragon Country’s national Luck!”

Yang Daoming saw Wang Chen’s expression and introduced from the side.

Upon hearing his words, Wang Chen’s eyes suddenly widened.

An ancient tablet formed by the condensation of Luck, no wonder it would be protected by an Emperor-level expert. This was probably the most important place in the Dragon Country!

“Go, touch the national Luck stone tablet with your hand, swear eternal loyalty to the Dragon Country. From today onwards, you will be the first in my Dragon Country’s Hidden Dragon List, protected by national Luck and enjoying endless resource allocation!”

Yang Daoming patted Wang Chen’s shoulder, saying solemnly.

First in the Hidden Dragon List?

Protected by national Luck and enjoying endless resource allocation?

Wang Chen suppressed the excitement in his heart and turned to look at Yang Daoming in confusion.

But before he could ask, Yang Daoming smiled and said:

“Opening this space requires a huge amount of energy, and we don’t have much time. You complete the ritual first, and I’ll explain it to you later.”

“Don’t worry, kid, this will only benefit you and not harm you. After swearing, your position in the Dragon Country’s hierarchy will be even higher than that little rascal Bai Ziting’s.”

“At that time, if you need anything, asking this old man to help you beat him up isn't out of the question either.”

“Understood!”

Hearing this, Wang Chen nodded, suppressed the doubts in his heart, walked to the stone tablet, and extended his hand.

“I, Wang Chen, swear to never betray the Dragon Country!”

Buzz buzz buzz!

As his voice fell, an invisible force rose from the stone tablet, directly enveloping his entire body.
