75: Dragon Master

Imperial Capital, office.

“Speaking of which, why do monsters kill each other?” At this moment, someone suddenly spoke, breaking the silence that Chen Ming’s strength had brought.

The room with dozens of people was as quiet as a graveyard, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

“Perhaps it’s because of food, or territory division issues? As the saying goes, one mountain cannot hold two tigers, let alone dragons.”

“The Ten Thousand Realms Fishing software claims that anything is possible. Could it be that the person on the screen is actually real? He used that software to fish up a dragon pet that he controls?”

“…” As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

They didn’t say anything verbally, but their eyes were honest, unconsciously looking at the phones nearby.

None of these people had ever used Ten Thousand Realms Fishing.

The reason was simple: Ten Thousand Realms Fishing had a name registration process.

They were worried that if there was a sudden inspection and they hadn't gone through this process, as one of the people in power, not setting an example would lead to them losing their positions.

For them, caution is the parent of safety, an eternal truth.

There was no reason to take risks.

But now, upon seeing that someone could truly control a world-destroying dragon, their hearts gradually wavered.

They were hesitating whether to join the progressive faction, propose together to abandon resistance, and coexist with Ten Thousand Realms Fishing.

The risks were not negligible, but this was indeed the best breakthrough plan, bar none.

The subsequent impact brought by a dragon pet, a mecha, and a skill was huge! Enough to ensure peace for a region.

If this was the case for the authorities, let alone ordinary people.

At this moment, the forums had already exploded into chaos because of the news broadcast of the two dragons fighting.

The comment section was even flooded with many foreign IP addresses.

At this time, they were in no mood to cause trouble; they were simply trying to get firsthand information.

Waiting for someone to share Great Xia's videos was too slow, they didn't have the patience or time.

Regardless of the previous videos about Mecha Celestial, Gatling Buddha, or Necromancer, they were still high on the world's trending lists, attracting global attention.

【Too fierce! Even through the screen, it feels incredibly shocking. I can't imagine what it would feel like to watch up close】

【The feeling of being reduced to ashes】

【...】

【I just saw someone say there was a human figure standing on that dragon. Is it true or false? Can someone with a large perspective explain?】

【Eight out of ten it's a dragon horn, or scales that were gouged off during the fight, creating a visual illusion. At this stage, who can control this level of disaster-grade monster?】

【Blue link, click it. Someone used technology to restore the high-definition image, it's indeed a person】

Clicking the link led to the relevant post. Regardless of the discussion heat, comment count, likes, saves, shares... everything broke through 999+ in a very short time.

【Holy crap! It's really a person riding on the dragon's back, no, standing above the dragon's head!】

【Following Mecha Celestial, Necromancer, and the others, has a Dragon Rider appeared now?! Our Great Xia is truly full of talent!】

【This dragon looks truly domineering!】

【Is the video authentic?】

【What's not authentic about it? The entire restoration process was recorded using the screen recording function. Can this still be faked?】

【Brothers, don't worry. I sent it to several special effects experts, and they all said there were no signs of modification or editing】

【I originally thought that drawing a D-Class Skill meant I was a European Emperor (lucky person), but I didn't expect... sigh, I can only say there are always people better than you, and there's always a higher sky!】

【Holy cow! A D-Class Skill expert!】

【Does the expert need an accessory on their leg? I am willing to serve diligently, work to the bone, and die without regret!】

...

Returning to Chen Ming, he had already driven the Calamity Dragon back to the villa.

Mid-air, a massive Shadow Gate opened above the Calamity Dragon's head, sucking it in.

Chen Ming then turned and entered his home.

His steps were hurried, he had important things to do.

With two Golden Treasure Chests in his hands, he was itching to open them, eager to see what he could get.

Sitting on the living room sofa, he habitually picked up the remote control and turned on the TV.

There was no need to change channels, as there was only one channel available to watch, no choice.

He noticed that the screen was replaying the scene of him controlling the Calamity Dragon battling the Gluttony Dragon.

Recalling the small object he had unintentionally noticed hovering several hundred meters high earlier, he murmured, “So it was a drone?”

Chen Ming initially thought it was a mutated bird.

Even if this scene was filmed, he didn't care, simply because the distance was too great and the picture quality was poor. You could only barely see that there was a person, but couldn't make out facial details.

Even if it was clearly seen, it wouldn't have much impact on Chen Ming. He wasn't worried at all about facing national-level forces and being completely defenseless, only able to be manipulated.

Just being Undead was enough to support Chen Ming's confidence.

Looking at the time on the wall, it was noon.

Chen Ming opened the virtual panel, first switched to the food section, selected a steaming bowl of braised beef noodles, and confirmed retrieval.

Red oil paired with large chunks of beef, plus a sprinkle of green onions, just looking at it made one's appetite soar.

It truly achieved the effect shown in the advertisement picture.

“No wonder it can sell for 180 per bowl.” After muttering a complaint, Chen Ming picked up his chopsticks, first picked up a piece of tender beef shank, and put it in his mouth.

At the same time, he used his mind to manipulate the virtual panel, found the two Golden Treasure Chests, and confirmed opening them.

【Opening Golden Treasure Chest...】

【Successfully opened! Congratulations to the host for obtaining S-Class Skill: Wind Blade!】

“Oh! You can actually get a skill from a Golden Treasure Chest, and it's S-Rank!” Chen Ming was quite surprised.

Click to view skill description.

【S-Class Skill Wind Blade: You will gain the ability to condense wind into blades, killing people invisibly!】

Wind generated from Chen Ming's fingertips. Although he could feel its presence, it was completely invisible.

He condensed a finger-length Wind Blade, aimed it at the distant vase, and shot it out.

Silently, the upper and lower parts of the vase suddenly shifted, slid diagonally, and then shattered on the ground.

Chen Ming's eyes widened!

“Is this skill really S-Rank?”

He knew very well that he had only exerted less than one-millionth of its power.

How exaggerated would it be if he used all of it?

Coupled with the increase in attribute points, Chen Ming felt that there was no need for the trouble of possessing the Calamity Dragon. By directly condensing Wind Blades, the Gluttony Dragon wouldn't even have time to react before its head was severed!

He was 100% certain that although dragon scales were hard, they weren't hard enough to withstand the powerful slashes of the Wind Blade.

If once works, then twice, three times... until it breaks through the defense!

The additional boosts brought by each skill acquisition meant that Chen Ming no longer had to worry about having too many skills and insufficient mental energy.

After receiving the skill, Chen Ming planned to press on and open the remaining Golden Treasure Chest as well.
