90: Chapter 90 Sky-Shattering Fire Dragon
It was a common sight in the cultivation room.
Li Yu pulled over a table and signaled to the people from the Rongrong Group. They walked with drunken steps, ten people to a group, carrying the Volcano Dragon on an iron bar like they were carrying a pig for the New Year, and hoisted it onto the metal table.
Gulp...
Someone heartless swallowed their saliva.
On the other side, the Doll Girl led the remaining people and carried the Female Regent Commander, along with a sofa, into the cultivation room. Seeing Li Yu look over, she explained, "After all, this is the Female Regent Commander's beast. If we leave her outside, I'm afraid it won't be easy to explain when she wakes up."
Li Yu nodded and looked at the Female Regent Commander who had fallen into a deep, baby-like sleep, but he was suspicious in his heart—sleeping like this, she wouldn't even wake up after the cultivation was finished.
Forget it, it has nothing to do with him.
"Test the attributes," Li Yu said.
Zhou Ya responded and immediately began to test the Volcano Dragon's attributes.
Knowing that she would be cultivating the Volcano Dragon today, Zhou Ya had spent the weekend looking up a lot of information on it, including its elemental affinity direction, comparisons between evolved and devolved species, and more.
She finally reached a conclusion.
For a Gold-tier Volcano Dragon, the demon core in its chest had already turned into an energy furnace, pumping flames through its limbs and bones, making every pore searing hot.
The Volcano Dragon possessed an immense amount of flame energy, which made it invincible in battle and unstoppable, but it also had a huge impact on its cultivation.
The excessively high internal temperature caused the vast majority of materials and medicines to be incinerated by the flames before they could even begin to decompose upon entering its body.
This created a huge obstacle for treatment, which was also the reason why the Rongrong Group's Female Regent Commander had hired several Senior Cultivators, all of whom had failed in the cultivation.
Of course, there are exceptions to everything.
While busy, Zhou Ya glanced at Li Yu and saw his focused expression as he utilized his golden Spirit Probing Hand. His fingers were long and fair, and his movements were profound and elegant, leaving her stunned for a moment.
When she came back to her senses, Zhou Ya hurriedly lowered her head, her ears turning red, her heart in a flutter, and filled with a trace of anticipation.
If it were Li Yu, perhaps it could work...
Chen Qing glanced at her and frowned.
【Beast Name】: Volcano Dragon
【Beast Quality】: Lord (A-)
【Beast Level】: Gold Level 9
【Beast Attribute】: Fire, Earth
【Beast Talent】: Volcanic Eruption, Vibration, Magma World, Heat Breath
【Beast Introduction】: A powerful beast distributed in volcanic regions, it absorbs flames all year round and can easily release magma capable of submerging cities; it was the nightmare of many ancient towns.
【Beast Status】: Drunk, Near-death state.
Li Yu stood in front of the Volcano Dragon. Beneath its searing skin texture, an ancient aura rushed toward him, and the heavy "thump, thump, thump" sound of its heartbeat felt like it was hammering against his own chest.
It was worthy of being a Gold Level 9 monster; even while near-death and drunk, it gave him the feeling that it could devour him at any moment.
"Let me see how it should be cultivated."
In the flick of a finger, Li Yu scattered fine, shimmering golden light that enveloped the Volcano Dragon.
Everyone was stunned by this extraordinary Spirit Probing Hand, and after exchanging glances, their eyes became even more expectant.
Li Yu took the opportunity to use a mid-grade universal evolution card.
Low-grade evolution cards could only be used on beasts of Extraordinary quality or below; since the Volcano Dragon had reached the Lord quality, a mid-grade universal evolution card had to be used.
The evolution card transformed into several streaks of colored light, blending into the golden light, and no one noticed it.
【Elemental Evolution - Sky-Shattering Fire Dragon: Using the method of extinguishing the furnace to exchange fire, removing the redundant to restore lightness, inject 588g of Celestial Reed Root Water, then grind 2000g of Obsidian Essence...】
An extremely complex and unique evolution route appeared in Li Yu's mind.
"So that's how it is..."
Li Yu opened his eyes. When he looked at the Volcano Dragon again, the previous fear and awe were gone, replaced by a sense of familiarity and speechlessness.
The Volcano Dragon, with its "A-" quality, looked quite good.
But after inheriting the evolution plan for the Sky-Shattering Fire Dragon, Li Yu knew that the so-called "Volcano Dragon" was actually a rather clumsy way of evolution.
It involved having the beast absorb large amounts of magma, geothermal fire, and minerals, thereby increasing its own weight and enhancing the density of its flames, making every attack feel like magma—searing, heavy, and thick.
The power was indeed stronger than that of ordinary fire types.
The price was that the Volcano Dragon's flames became increasingly uncontrollable. Over the years, its entire body became filled with flames, causing it to be unable to accept any other changes.
Whether it was treatment or evolution.
Even taking some healing medicine or nutritional supplements became ineffective.
And this evolution was like dealing with a car that hadn't been maintained for a long time: extinguishing the flames, cleaning out the carbon deposits, and replacing them with better spark plugs.
It would allow the Volcano Dragon to possess stronger combat power while shedding its heavy physical burden.
"It seems this is a weight-loss plan," Li Yu smiled.
At this moment, Zhou Ya's test results also came out.
She read them out slowly, and they were word-for-word identical to the information Li Yu had seen.
Led by the Doll Girl, the group of Beast Tamers from the Rongrong Group looked at Li Yu, gazing at that unbelievably young face, hoping to get some good news.
Zhou Ya also looked at Li Yu curiously, wanting to know if he had a way to cure this Volcano Dragon that so many Senior Cultivators had been unable to heal, and which had only gotten worse with each treatment, entering a near-death state and preparing to drink itself to death.
Li Yu flicked his fingers, emitting golden light, and sensed the physical condition of the Volcano Dragon.
After a while, he opened his eyes and smiled, "It can be cured."
Everyone was overjoyed to hear this.
"There are two methods, it depends on which one you choose. First, direct treatment, I can help you..."
Before Li Yu could finish his sentence, the crowd seemed to see something, their expressions changed drastically, and they exclaimed, "Watch out!"
He turned around and saw a massive fist striking towards his head, and an angry face rapidly enlarging before his eyes.
"Let go of the Volcano Dragon!!!"
Bang—
Li Yu didn't move. The owner of that fist flew backward in a "U" shape, slammed heavily into the glass wall, and then slowly slid to the ground, eyes bulging.
Chen Qing slowly lowered her raised leg and returned to behind Li Yu with a calm expression, as if she hadn't just kicked someone away, but had merely blown away an ant.
The surroundings were silent.
The members of the Rongrong Group widened their eyes, looking at Chen Qing as if she were a monster.
That was their Female Regent Commander, a 200-pound muscle Barbie! A battle maniac who could grab a beast by the tail and swing it around!
One kick, and she was sent flying!
Is this fake?!
Zhou Ya was also shocked and covered her mouth. She had originally thought that the Guardian Supervisor Song had given Li Yu was at most just someone with some strength, a vase chosen based on looks; she hadn't expected her strength to be so powerful!
With a "clang," Li Yu threw an ultrasonic knife onto the table and said coldly, "It seems your Female Regent Commander doesn't really want me to do the cultivation."
Zhou Ya also said angrily, "You are too presumptuous! Attacking a Senior Cultivator at Bright Moon Company!"
Her hand was placed on a red button.
As long as she pressed it, the alarm would sound, the company's beast team and security would arrive at the fastest speed, and even the Presidents Office, all cultivation floor supervisors, and those in higher positions would receive the news.
