Heaven-Soaring Dragon Python

Walking out through the door on the left, Xiao Ni and Xiao Xun'er saw a bamboo grove. A well stood in the middle of the grove, surrounded by blooming white flowers. Their refreshing fragrance drifted into Xiao Ni's nose, and he could not help taking a deep breath.

The well was astonishingly large. Even if two or three burly men jumped in at once, there would probably be enough room for them to land face-to-face and be reduced to ashes.

"What place is this? Why isn't there a single person in sight?" After breathing in the fresh air, Xiao Ni swept his gaze around and immediately felt puzzled.

Was Black Jade Pavilion short on people, or was the Chek Lineage short on people? Why had they seen only Chek Jing from the beginning until now? Had they arrived too early, before everyone else had gotten up?

"Brother Xiao Ni, why don't we take a look at that well? There might be something inside." Xiao Xun'er pointed her jade-like hand at the well in the center. The door behind them had already vanished, so there was no turning back.

"The well?" Xiao Ni closed his eyes and sensed the world within it, his expression instantly turning solemn. "Xun'er, don't go near it. There's a Fourth-Order Magical Beast and two Third-Rank Magical Beasts inside."

Actually, he felt that even without borrowing the power of the Dou King Trial Card, he should be able to intimidate those three magical beasts. He simply did not have absolute confidence—at most, seventy percent.

"No wonder the mouth of that well is so large. So the Chek Lineage hid three magical beast pets beneath it." Xiao Xun'er spoke in surprise.

In her understanding, the Chek Lineage had already been thoroughly destroyed by the four Dou Wang experts Gu He had invited. Many members of the Chek Lineage had been wiped out back then. They probably did not even have many Dou Masters left now, much less Da Dou Shi.

There were not many people left in the Chek Lineage to begin with, so it was only natural that they had not encountered many people.

However, the Chek Lineage had not dared show itself publicly for decades. If Gu He learned about the three magical beasts, who knew whether he would continue suppressing the Chek Lineage.

"Xun'er, I have an idea. I want the Chek Lineage and the Xiao Household to form an alliance. What do you think?" A faint smile appeared at the corner of Xiao Ni's lips. He had already begun to feel favorably toward the Chek Lineage.

Good heavens, these three magical beasts could absolutely intimidate all of Wutan City. After all, a Fourth-Order Magical Beast was a powerful existence comparable to a Dou Ling. If the Xiao Household allied with the Chek Lineage, then even if Chekenao did not act, this Fourth-Order Magical Beast alone would be enough to flatten the other two great households.

As for the two Third-Rank Magical Beasts, they were also comparable to Da Dou Shi. Cooperation between the Xiao Household and the Chek Lineage would definitely be a guaranteed profit.

"That's a good idea. If Brother Xiao Ni can make it happen, the Xiao Household can freely confront the other two great households." Xiao Xun'er smiled sweetly, then walked toward the well.

"You little girl, you know there may be danger ahead, so why are you walking so fast?" Xiao Ni grabbed Xiao Xun'er's hand and stepped in front of her.

"I'm not afraid. Anyway, Brother Xiao Ni can raise his strength to the Dou Wang level. A mere Fourth-Order Magical Beast is nothing to Brother Xiao Ni." Xiao Xun'er narrowed her eyes slightly and spoke with a giggle.

"You little girl." Xiao Ni shook his head with a laugh before stopping at the edge of the well.

Xiao Xun'er obediently stood behind him and lightly glanced at the enormous well mouth. Then, a vast dragon roar rose from the bottom of the well and entered their ears.

"Is there a dragon beneath this well?" Xiao Xun'er's willow brows furrowed slightly, and her body unconsciously moved two steps forward.

"Not a dragon. It's a Heaven-Soaring Dragon Python." Xiao Ni stared intently below, while the new Dou Technique the system had rewarded him with already surfaced in his mind.

"The Heaven-Soaring Dragon Python is a top-tier existence among Fourth-Order Magical Beasts. If properly raised, it may even advance into a fifth- or sixth-order magical beast. The Chek Lineage actually hid such a huge secret. No wonder they haven't dared act high-profile all these years." Xiao Xun'er suddenly understood. It seemed the Chek Lineage had hidden itself deeply; apparently, Gu He had truly scared them badly back then.

"No matter how they obtained the Heaven-Soaring Dragon Python, let's keep this secret for the Chek Lineage for now." Xiao Ni spoke solemnly.

The Heaven-Soaring Dragon Python was certainly powerful, but without sufficient strength, it would sooner or later be snatched away by powerful experts. The entire Chek Lineage might even perish because of it. That was not an outcome he wanted to see.

Bang!

As soon as Xiao Ni finished speaking, a magical beast with a dragon's head and snake's tail shot out from the well. It roared furiously at Xiao Ni and Xiao Xun'er, and gusts of icy wind immediately swept through the area, forcing them back several meters.

The magical beast's dragon head was slightly larger than an adult's head. Its snake tail, more than ten meters long, was covered in white scales. It was precisely the Heaven-Soaring Dragon Python Xiao Ni had mentioned.

Roar—

After steadying himself, Xiao Ni's finger became wrapped in golden energy. He fiercely pointed into the air, and a resounding dragon roar burst from his fingertips. The air trembled, several vicious cracks split open around the well mouth, and then Xiao Ni's entire body was enveloped in golden light. A phantom golden dragon gradually appeared behind him.

The golden dragon phantom was only two or three meters long, but its icy white eyes and terrifying dragon might caused the ground to collapse. The Heaven-Soaring Dragon Python immediately became docile, trembling as it curled up on the ground.

At that moment, its eyes were filled with fear. It no longer even had the courage to meet Xiao Ni's gaze.

Heavens, what is this boy's background? How can he condense such a terrifying golden dragon phantom? What connection does he have with the Dragon Clan? And why has he come to Black Jade Pavilion?

The more the Heaven-Soaring Dragon Python thought about it, the more frightened it became. Such a terrifying Dou Technique had to originate from the Dragon Clan. Even if this boy had obtained it by chance, it absolutely did not dare profane true dragon might.

"Oh no, the Heaven-Soaring Dragon Python seems to have gone berserk. Xun'er won't be in danger, will she?" In the library, Chek Jing looked at the central bookshelf and decided to go over and take a look.

That Heaven-Soaring Dragon Python was extremely proud by nature. It liked peace and quiet and hated being disturbed. When the two magical beasts had first been placed inside, they were beaten up by the Heaven-Soaring Dragon Python several times almost every day. It had been a miserable sight.

"It's fine now." A moment later, Xiao Ni withdrew his finger. The golden dragon phantom abruptly dissipated into the air. Xiao Ni turned his head and smiled at Xiao Xun'er, then released her hand and walked straight to the Heaven-Soaring Dragon Python.

"Brother Xiao Ni is amazing." Coming back to her senses from her shock, Xiao Xun'er followed with a giggle and studied the Heaven-Soaring Dragon Python with great interest.

"Such a good boy. Do you want to transform?" Xiao Ni crouched down, stroked the Heaven-Soaring Dragon Python's head, and asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the Heaven-Soaring Dragon Python froze for a moment before frantically nodding its head.

Xiao Xun'er wore a smile, but inwardly, she felt somewhat speechless.

Brother Xiao Ni, it knows you're amazing, but do you know what it means for a magical beast to transform? Without the aid of a seventh-grade Transformation Pill, even a Sixth-Order Magic Beast cannot transform, much less a Fourth-Order Magical Beast like the Heaven-Soaring Dragon Python.
