Back to the Peak

Just then, a knock on the door made Wang Jing, who was organizing documents, look up.

Seeing Ling Yuan standing at the door, he was taken aback. "Ling Yuan?"

"Uncle Wang." Ling Yuan smiled slightly.

Wang Jing smiled and put down the documents, "What brings you here?"

"I'd like to ask you for a favor."

"What is it? Tell me," Wang Ming said, suddenly realizing what was happening.

"I recently got another dragon at home," Ling Yuan said bluntly.

"???"

Wang Jing stunned.

What do you mean by "raising another dragon"?

Ling Yuan placed the two photos on the table.

They are human and dragon-shaped, respectively.

"Her name is Thor, and she is a dragon from another world."

"Varied?"

Wang Jing paused, then quickly picked up the photos on the table.

"Ugh, so fat."

Ling Yuan: "..."

"Ahem, sorry, I meant, you're developing really well." Wang Jing laughed.

Then, as if he had thought of something, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Ling Yuan, I wonder if you would like to participate in the National University Contract Competition?"

"I've heard Wang Ming mention this before."

"You said that? That's great. How about this, you and Wang Ming team up, and I'll help you with your identity issue. You know, getting a household registration in Flame Nation is incredibly difficult." Wang Jing blinked.

Ling Yuan smiled slightly, "Uncle Wang, if I expose myself, you'll probably face some questioning as well."

"Haha, it's just accountability, I'm used to it," Wang Jing laughed.

"Uncle Wang, your Contract Beast is seriously injured, isn't it?"

Wang Jing's smile faded, and she shook her head with a soft sigh, "Did you see through me?"

"No, it was Little Lingxi who told me. She said you used to be the Heavenly Lord. I think the reason you've become so weak, Uncle Wang, must be because you were injured."

Wang Jing: "EMMM, that's really hurtful."

He then gave a wry smile, "Yes, during the last battle at Tian Feng Mountain, one of the Demon Emperors I was fighting self-destructed, and I took the hit to save the others."

"I never expected you, Uncle Wang, to have such backbone. I thought you only knew how to play the victim and beg for help," Ling Yuan said half-jokingly.

Wang Jing looked embarrassed.

"There's no other way. Going up there would just be suicide. If I can save this city with my old face, it's worth it in my opinion!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Yuan also put away his smile and asked solemnly, "In that case, Uncle Wang, do you want to return to your peak?"

"?"

Wang Jing was taken aback and glanced at Ling Yuan in surprise.

He then shook his head.

To return to the top? Of course he wanted to, but... his old partner's condition was deteriorating day by day.

Given the forced use of the Life Engraving last time, it's estimated that he doesn't have much time left.

Chapter 268 Return to the Peak

"Uncle Wang, you should know me. Since you dare to speak, you must have a way."

Ling Yuan smiled slightly, and his words made Wang Jing pause.

Then, as if remembering something, he stood up excitedly.

"Ling Yuan, if you can really save my old buddy, I'll do anything you ask!"

Ling Yuan's lips curled into a smile, "I want Wang Ming to recognize me as his godfather."

"Alright, let's become sworn brothers starting today!" Wang Jing said without hesitation.

"Oh, just kidding, don't take it seriously."

Seeing that Wang Jing didn't hesitate at all, Ling Yuan quickly shook his head.

He's only 18, still young, and doesn't want to be a father yet.

"Uncle Wang, let's go outside. Your Contract Beast must be quite large, right?"

"Good!"

Wang Jing nodded quickly.

Ling Yuan grabbed his arm and flashed away.

When it reappeared, it was already in the wild.

After glancing around, Ling Yuan said, "There shouldn't be anyone here, Uncle Wang. Release your Contract Beast."

Wang Jing nodded and slowly rolled up his sleeves.

Above it is a flame tattoo resembling an oriental dragon's head.

"Old buddy, come out here."

The tattoo turned red and gradually transformed into flames.

The lava began to spread beneath Wang Jing's feet, burning everything in its path to ashes.

Endless flames condensed in the void, forming a fire dragon a hundred feet long.

Sacred Ancient Flame Dragon, a top ten beast on the Phantom Beast Ranking, was one of the Contract Beast that initially established Flame Nation's dominance in Asia.

It looks like a very typical Eastern dragon.

However, this overlord-level Contract Beast was lying listlessly on the ground.

Looking at the Sacred Ancient Flame Dragon lying quietly on the ground, Ling Yuan slowly walked over.

In an instant, the crimson Flood Dragon opened its crimson-gold vertical pupils.

"Xiao Yan, it's okay."

Upon hearing Wang Jing's words, the previously wary Sacred Ancient Flame Dragon relaxed and continued to lie weakly on the ground.

Ling Yuan glanced at him and saw that there were basically no external injuries.

Seeing his old friend's state Wang Jing couldn't help but feel regretful. "Back in Tian Feng Mountain, because of my stubbornness, I forcibly blocked the self-destruction of a Demon Emperor-level expert."

"And Xiao Yan transferred all the damage to herself to save me. Although the external injuries healed, the internal injuries..."

"Don't worry, Uncle Wang, I will help you get better."

Ling Yuan offered a word of comfort and then made a move towards the void.

Flames transformed into twin spears, appearing in Ling Yuan's hands.

"My awakening is to seize the divine right of the gods... cough, sorry, I misspoke."

Seeing Wang Jing's strange expression, Ling Yuan coughed lightly.

His expression turned serious.

"O spirit of compassion and mediation!"

"Admonish me, and warn you, that I may transform myself into a colossal demon god."

Phoenix!

Chant!

Phoenix Cry's cry rang out.

A pink divine bird emerged from the void behind Ling Yuan, spreading its enormous wings and gently enveloping Ling Yuan.

The next moment, the gale dissipated, and Ling Yuan, Full Body Magic Armor, appeared.

A vertical pupil, representing demonic transformation, appeared between his brows, and a pair of pink wings appeared behind him.

This is the second time Ling Yuan has used Phoenix's Full Body Magic Armor, following the previous time.

If he could, he really wouldn't want to wear women's clothing.

Under Wang Jing's stunned gaze, it slowly flew into the sky.

"Great Magic!"

He held the Cinder Flame Greatsword firmly to his chest with one hand.

A beam of light appeared in the sky, and a massive Octagram formation materialized behind Ling Yuan.

"Hold head high!"

A giant pink energy bird emerged from Great Magic circle.

"The Wheel of Healing!"

The giant pink bird flapped its wings and slowly landed above the Sacred Ancient Flame Dragon.

A white halo formed from its wings and swung above the Sacred Ancient Flame Dragon.

A rich life force began to continuously nourish the Sacred Ancient Flame Dragon lying on the ground.

"Hold head high--"

Sensing this rich life force, the Sacred Ancient Flame Dragon couldn't help but let out a comfortable sound.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle~

Just as the healing process was proceeding smoothly, suddenly, a mysterious black gas emerged from the Sacred Ancient Flame Dragon.

Even the Sacred Ancient Flame Dragon, which had been keeping its eyes closed, now showed an expression of pain.

"Um?"

Ling Yuan frowned and called out the Demon God: "Phoenix."

"Your Majesty, there is an extremely powerful energy within it that is resisting my treatment."

Phoenix's gentle voice rang out from the vertical pupil on Ling Yuan's forehead.

"This power is dark, but very pure."

"It must have been accidentally entered when the Demon Emperor exploded."

Ling Yuan murmured something.

"So..."

"Phoenix, you take the reins."

He threw the Cinder Flame Greatsword out.

In an instant, the Cinder Flame Greatsword stood tall in the void, and a gigantic female demon god flew out from the Cinder Flame Greatsword like blue smoke.

Appearing in the void, he clasped his hands together in the air, with the Cinder Flame Greatsword standing tall between them.

"Wow, it's huge."

Wang Jing was immediately drawn to Phoenix.

Ling Yuan called out helplessly, "Uncle Wang, stop daydreaming and keep an eye on your dragon."

Phoenix is big, but you also have a family. Is it really okay to stare at me for so long?

"Ah, oh!"

After realizing what was happening, Wang Jing quickly said...

Upon landing on the ground, looking at the crimson Flood Dragon lying prostrate there, the Golden City opened, and a golden longsword, accompanied by a golden halo, was unleashed.

Ling Yuan grasped the hilt of the Osmanthus Sword and drew it out in one swift motion.
