The Holy Dragon Egg

Even more solid.

No one knew how much time had passed.

That mass of light finally stopped changing.

A majestic and domineering black dragon-type Phantasmal Beast appeared before Chen Xuan.

[DARK ARMORED DRAGON]

Level: Platinum Fifth-Order

Bloodline Rarity: King-Grade

Type: Dragon/Darkness/Armor

Evolution Count: 0

Innate Skills: Dark Dragon Wave, Dark Armor, Armor Amplification

Description: A very rare Phantasmal Beast, evolved by devouring an Ink Spirit Heart and Netherdark Ancient Gold, becoming a true dragon-type Phantasmal Beast. It possesses formidable defensive power, but its greatest strength lies not in direct combat, but in armoring—becoming the sturdiest shield for its Beast Master. Not only can it enhance the Beast Master's defense, but it can also amplify all aspects of the Beast Master's abilities by dozens of times. It is a very rare and powerful Phantasmal Beast.

Its pitch-black scales, each one gleaming with a chilling light.

A pair of eyes, carrying a domineering expression.

Looking down on all sides.

Clearly!

Now evolved, the Dark Armored Dragon had already gained the ability to rival true dragon-type Phantasmal Beasts.

Of course!

Its bloodline was still slightly inferior to that of the Holy Light Dragon and the Nine Heavens Wind-Rain Dragon.

But with even stronger evolutions.

One day, it could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Holy Light Dragon and the Nine Heavens Wind-Rain Dragon.

"Armor!"

Seeing the successfully evolved Dark Armored Dragon.

Chen Xuan was already excited to test its evolved abilities.

Boom!

Boom!

A moment later!

The sound of air splitting rang out in the backyard of the Holy Dragon Dojo.

A black shadow flashed back and forth across the yard.

Incredibly fast.

So fast that its traces were barely visible.

"Powerful—speed and strength are both over ten times greater than before!"

"With this armor now, I can probably even fight those Platinum-rank Phantasmal Beasts!"

"Xiao Xuan, your place here is really cool!"

"It's like lying in a stream in the middle of a forest!"

"Uncle Zheng doesn't even want to leave—I'm thinking of moving in!"

"How about it, name a price, I'll pay you rent every month, and I'll move in!"

Inside the Holy Dragon Dojo!

An old man with white hair said to Chen Xuan, half-jokingly.

"Uncle Zheng, please spare me. If I let you stay here, Auntie He won't let me off the hook!"

"She'll say something like, 'Are you trying to steal my old man away?'"

"I wouldn't dare offend her!"

Chen Xuan replied with a smile.

At the same time, he ordered Bobo, who was nearby, to pour tea for Uncle Zheng.

Bobo!

Was a humanoid Phantasmal Beast covered in pitch-black fur.

His specialty was brewing tea.

He looked honest and simple, almost exactly like a human.

And he could even carry out simple conversations.

They're not bad companions, actually.

Now whenever Chen Xuan is away from the dojo, Bobo and General Wei Wu run the place.

"She won't let you off?"

"What can that old hag do?"

Hearing Chen Xuan bring up his wife, Uncle Zheng bristled with indignation, puffing out his chest with a fierce, imposing air.

But!

Soon enough, he deflated.

"My old lady... she is a bit fierce!"

"Still, she's a good person at heart!"

"That's exactly what I liked about her back when I chose to be with her!"

Uncle Zheng's gaze drifted into memory, his expression softening, as if recalling something fond.

"Xiao Xuan, listen to me, you'd better—"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Suddenly!

Uncle Zheng erupted into violent coughing.

A greenish glow flickered across his face.

It looked eerily terrifying, like he'd turned into a zombie.

Chapter 31: The Story of Dirui Ji and Uncle Zheng

"Uncle Zheng, what's wrong?!"

Seeing that horrifying sight, Chen Xuan asked anxiously.

That scene just now was too unsettling.

Even Chen Xuan, after witnessing it, was nearly startled out of his wits.

Luckily, back on Earth, he'd watched plenty of horror movies, so he managed not to lose his composure.

And in that very instant!

Chen Xuan sensed a massive surge of resentment enveloping Uncle Zheng.

This was a world grounded in science, so naturally, there were no such things as ghosts.

Take the Horror Spirit Girl he'd subdued earlier, for example—

her abilities seemed straight out of a horror film, but that was merely one of her powers as a Phantom Beast.

And now!
