He said to Wang Jing, "Uncle Wang, it's going to hurt a bit later, tell your dragon to bear with it."

"Go ahead and do it; I'll keep an eye on it," Wang Jing said.

Ling Yuan nodded and picked up the Osmanthus Sword.

Laugh--!

He shoved it in.

The scales, harder than diamonds, were pierced in an instant.

The golden longsword, except for the hilt, was completely pierced into the body of the Sacred Ancient Flame Dragon.

"!!!"

In an instant, the eyes of the Sacred Ancient Flame Dragon, which had been showing signs of pain, suddenly snapped open.

Before the other party could react, Ling Yuan uttered a soft shout, "Akunolokia".

Buzz~

The Osmanthus Sword began to shimmer, Feather of the End, which resided within the sword, began to absorb the demonic energy accumulated within the Sacred Ancient Flame Dragon's body.

"Hold head high!"

The Sacred Ancient Flame Dragon roared in pain.

Bang!

The dragon's tail, hundreds of meters away, slammed heavily onto the mountain peak, the immense force causing cracks to appear in the mountain range.

"Xiao Yan, as long as we get through this, we can return to our peak. We have to hold on!" Wang Jing shouted.

Wang Jing's words seemed to give it the strength to endure the excruciating pain.

As the demonic energy was gradually absorbed, Phoenix's healing power was activated.

The internal injuries were quickly healed, the blocked meridians were restored to their original state, and spiritual energy began to flow again.

"Alright."

Sensing the message Akunolokia had sent back, Ling Yuan gripped his longsword and drew it out!

"Boom--!"

The moment the longsword was drawn, terrifying heat spread outwards.

Crimson flames swept across thousands of miles in an instant.

The surrounding forests and mountains were completely burned down.

The Sacred Ancient Flame Dragon roared and soared into the sky.

"Roar!"

As the sunset-colored clouds gathered, the Sacred Ancient Flame Dragon excitedly vented its power, as if announcing its return.

"What... this is?!"

Wang Jing looked at her hands with great surprise.

All the power has returned!

If he were to fight Wang Ming again, he was now confident that he could beat him so badly that even his own father would recognize him.

In mid-air, Phoenix glanced at the Divine Dragon soaring through the sky with lingering fear.

This world is terrifying.

Even a dragon on the verge of death can unleash devastating power once its injuries are healed.

It was so good that she chose to obey back then.

"Uncle Wang, how is it?" Ling Yuan asked with a smile, seeing Wang Jing's delighted expression.

"Not only have my strength been restored, but I've also broken through! I'm now at the Ninth Tier Contract God- level!" Wang Jing laughed loudly.

I felt an unprecedented sense of comfort, and all the frustration I had felt before was swept away!

At the same time

People in all eight directions felt a terrifying yet familiar aura emanating from within Flame Nation.

"Has Wang Jing's Contract Beast recovered from its injuries?"

Xia Annan, who was teaching Xia Ranran, paused and asked in surprise.

"No need to guess, it should have been Xiao Yuan who did it too," Xiao Qingya said with a smile.

Xia Annan shook her head and sighed softly, "I really don't know what this kid did, even Ranran broke through to the Sixth Order in one day."

He couldn't help but sigh with the same emotion as Wang Jing.

If only they had a friend like Ling Yuan back then...

"Being a son-in-law is pretty good, isn't it?"

Hearing Xia Annan's words, Xiao Qingya chuckled softly.

Upon hearing this, Xia Annan chuckled and shook her head, "Yes, that's right, being a son-in-law wouldn't be bad either."

After retrieving the Sacred Ancient Flame Dragon, Wang Jing said, "Ling Yuan, although I really want to help you with the identity document, it will still take some time."

Ling Yuan nodded. "No problem, but how long will it take at the latest?"

Wang Jing thought for a moment and said, "One month."

"Multiple reviews are needed. There are too many people who want to join Flame Nation now. Even if I am the Heavenly Lord, it is still difficult to get a recommendation based solely on my own influence. So I need time to find four other people."

"Only if the votes exceed half will the central government relinquish power."

"Four? What about the four Heavenly Lords plus the Pillar of the Nation?" Ling Yuan asked.

Wang Jing: "???"

"Four? Besides me, Ling Yuan, do you know three other people?"

Ling Yuan slowly said, "Little Lingxi, Xi Zhiyuan, and Li Yi."

"Li Yi? When did you get involved with him?" Wang Jing asked curiously.

He wasn't surprised by the first two, because they were girls, but the latter... Li Yi was a man.

It's quite troublesome to figure out how to do it.

Sensing Wang Jing's strange gaze, Ling Yuan remained calm. "Aunt Xiao told me."

Wang Jing suddenly realized. "If that's the case, three days will be enough."

"That's troublesome."

Wang Jing laughed heartily, "Not at all, I should thank you for saving my partner's life."

After laughing, Wang Jing hooked her arm around Ling Yuan's shoulder and whispered, "What do you think about the National University Contract Competition I mentioned before?"

Ling Yuan paused for a moment. "Who are all these participants?"

"As the name suggests, it is equivalent to a youth competition, and the participating teams are all organized by universities in various regions."

"Does being a college student all you need?" Ling Yuan asked.

Are there any age restrictions?

"Under thirty." Wang Jing held up three fingers.

"Can Little Lingxi participate in the competition?" Ling Yuan asked a question that left Wang Jing dumbfounded.

"Little Lingxi, that girl Yao Lingxi?"

"Well, Little Lingxi should be under thirty, right? And she's a student who skipped a grade, so I doubt any school would refuse a Heavenly Lord transferring." Ling Yuan chuckled.

Wang Jing was completely bewildered by Ling Yuan's words.

He really hadn't thought about that question.

Those who have reached the level of Heavenly Lord will not participate in this type of competition.

Because there is no precedent, it is possible to exploit loopholes!

Wang Jing's eyes gradually brightened.

He patted Ling Yuan heavily on the shoulder. "Good lad, this competition should scare quite a few people."

"What scared a lot of people? I just wanted to give the organizers a chance to improve the rules."

Ling Yuan responded with a smile.

Wang Jing gave a thumbs up.

He can already picture his son standing on the champion's throne.

After that, the two chatted about the competition for a while before parting ways.

Afternoon

"Huh? Dad, why are you back so early?"

Wang Ming, who went downstairs to get snacks, was taken aback when he saw Wang Jing sitting on the sofa.

Not only did he stop working, he also started watching TV.

If he doesn't go to work and earn money, how can he continue to be a lazy dog?

"Ming'er, what kind of person do you think your father is in your eyes?" Wang Jing asked inscrutablely.

Wang Ming: "???"

After thinking for a moment, and seeing Wang Jing's expectant expression, Wang Ming said, "Yes, little brother."

Wang Jing almost tripped and fell to the ground as he stood up.

"Dad, what's wrong with you today? You're talking strangely."

"It's nothing, I just felt that I needed to let you know how to write 'Laozi'." Rows of # characters appeared on Wang Jing's forehead.

"I think you should talk to your grandfather about this. You've been away from home for many years, and he must want to teach you to write," Wang Ming said calmly.

Raising an eyebrow, Wang Jing chuckled and said, "Have you been getting more and more arrogant lately?"

"Likewise," Wang Ming said with a smile.

Although he didn't say it, his dad gave him a strange feeling today.

I feel inexplicably uneasy.

"Ming'er, my hands have been itching lately, how about you practice with me?"

"?"

Wang Ming was taken aback.

That's it?

He then breathed a sigh of relief and smiled confidently, "Dad, you just want to check if I've been slacking off lately, right?"

"I'm very smart tomorrow," Wang Jing nodded with a smile.

"Um, Dad, why are you suddenly calling me so affectionately?"

"It's nothing, I'm just very proud that my son has become so strong," Wang Jing said with a smile.

Wang Ming: "???"

Something feels off.

But Dad's such a noob, it should be okay, right...?

Thinking of this, Wang Ming asked, "Where to?"

"Let's go to the same place as last time," Wang Jing said with a smile.

"Good!"
