Chapter 904: Creation, Beast Bracelet
It was already five days later when Princess Qian Qian and Yue Yu came back.
Yue Yang had successfully developed the Beast Bracelet earlier and brought the Flame Condor, who was temporarily categorised under the lead of the Reaper Mantis, as the first experimental product of the Beast Bracelet Contract Beast.
Becoming the first experimental product was quite risky. There was a chance for you to die instantly, but should you survive, the rewards would be great.
Yue Yang merged the Di Gui Yin Flame purified by the small heap of Nirvana Flame and the White Splendid Frost into the body of the Flame Condor, allowing it to break through the realm of Level 3 of the Heaven Rank and rise to the peak of Level 4, infinitely close to the 5th. At this time, the flames all over remained quiet. When it was not officially fighting, it could hardly feel its heat, but once it was angered, it was ten thousand times more terrifying than a volcanic eruption! It could be said that the Flame Condor at this time had completely integrated and inherited the characteristics of Di Gui Yin Fire.
Because of this, Drunken Cat Yu Jie gave it a name: Iris.
This was to commemorate a pot of irises that she planted when she was a child. Of course, it was also because the flames of the Flame Condor now evolved into a faint purple-blue hue, which looked like a cl.u.s.ter of irises in full bloom from a distance.
“Is this the Beast Bracelet made by Liquid Crystal Di Yan? Oh, it’s pretty!” Princess Qian Qian asked again, “Why don’t you make one with the Moon Gem?”
“Do you think that the Moon Gem is something that you can pick up by the side of the road!” Yue Yang was going to be speechless— of course, you wouldn’t know the importance of grain, salt and oil if you weren’t the head of the house![1]
T/L Note: [1] Implies that the head of house uses their salary/funds to care for the family, so without bearing that position, one wouldn’t know how to empathise with the one shouldering the responsibility.
“Didn’t you manage to get a lot of good things from that double-headed silly dragon last time?” Princess Qian Qian smiled.
“For the time being, there is no way to make the best Beast Bracelet… That would only waste materials, so I’d better explore the experience of it first,” Of course, Yue Yang also wanted to use the Sun Jewel, Moon Gem and Star Stone to make the ultimate Beast Bracelets, but there was still a certain distance between ideas and reality. It was impossible to reach the sky in one step, so he had to restrain his ambitions.
“It’s pretty good, this treasure that has surpa.s.sed the Gold Rank and reached the Platinum Rank. If you soar higher and give it a bit of research, it might become a Holy Rank!” Yue Yu quickly praised her brother as a sign of encouragement.
In fact, she was right. When Yue Yang succeeded in studying the Beast Bracelet, His Majesty, who heard the good news, sent three waves of envoys to praise him excitedly.
Each wave of envoys brought His Majesty’s unrelenting congratulations and praise.
This showed how moved His Majesty was.
Although His Majesty still refused to see Yue Yang, he had already spoken and promised to encourage Yue Yang vigorously. When Yue Yang used the Sun Jewel to develop a Holy Ranked Beast Bracelet, it was said that His Majesty would personally reward him! Student Yue Yang couldn’t wait to reach the goal immediately. Unfortunately, with his current perception, for the time being, he could only make a Platinum Ranked Liquid Crystal Di Yan Beast Bracelet.
Needless to say, Si-niang was naturally proud of San Er.
There was a grand celebration on the Yue Clan’s side.
Jun Wuyou was sleeping, but upon hearing the surprising news, he didn’t even have time to put on his shoes and immediately ran out barefoot. He got drunk with the old man Yue Hai, the old fox and others…The Three Guilds— the Warrior Guild, Mercenary Guild and Thief Guild also announced the good news to the world for the first time.
Although it is not as good as summoning a Grimoire, with this kind of Beast Bracelet that grows up with the master, many warriors who have no chance to make a contract with the Grimoire will no longer feel helpless. Descendants who have an uncultivated and uncontracted Grimoire would also have a safer life guarantee. ‘Promising disciples who were talented ended up dead in accidents caused during training’—there have been so many cases of a similar kind. It would always become a huge toll to the family, especially if the deceased children were designated to take over a part of the family succession line.
Now, the problem that has been causing headaches in various families can finally be resolved.
The Third Young Master of the Yue Clan had already declared to the world: In the Soaring Dragon Continent, any disciple with the potential of the becoming a Heaven Ranker will be given the same level of effort and contribution to the companions of the Heaven Ranked Beasts for growth; those with the strength of the Earth Ranks will be given the equivalent Earth Ranked Beasts as companions to grow together. That is to say, as long as they work hard enough and have enough potential, no matter how high or low their status is, they are likely to grow into Innate, Heaven Ranked, or even higher and stronger levelled warriors!
Jun Wu You’s Forbidden Army Commander ‘Feng Kuang’, Eagle Eye Xia Hou Wei Jie, Feng Qi Sha, Yan Po Jun and other well-known warriors, plus more than a hundred formal members who have reached the qualifications of the Dragon Knights were called. For the first time ever in the Warrior Guild, they displayed and registered their Beast Bracelets with different attributes. According to the style and quality, the open Beast Bracelets are divided into three grades. One was the Fine Gold Beast Bracelet, which was inlaid with the energy of magic crystals below Level 3 of the Heaven Ranks; another one was the Mithril Beast Bracelet, inlaid with the magic crystals for Level 5 Earth Rankers and above; whereas the last one was a Bronze Beast Bracelet, inlaid with magic crystals for those below the 5th Level of the Earth Ranks.
Members of the Dragon Knights must at least be able to contract the Mithril Beast Bracelet, unless the beasts possess extremely special expertise.
“There are still close to 3000 empty spots in the Dragon Knights and 10,000 places in the Dragon Blood Guard Legion. If you want to become stronger, what are you waiting for?” When the three major guilds posted Yue Yang’s statement, the blood of the warriors of the world were boiling.
“I must become a Dragon Knight!”
So many youngsters pledged that way.
Both the Flying Dragon and the Beast Bracelet were right in front of their eyes.
This opportunity was an unprecedented and open apportionment to everyone in the world. For a warrior who has pursued power throughout their lives, this was simply a ladder opened up for them to reach the sky!
Two days later, Yue Yang brought back Fatty Hai, Ye Kong, and Xue Tan Lang who were very intensely trained from the Conqueror City. Even Hui Tai Lang had a large Fine Gold Beast Bracelet made from the Liquid Crystal Di Yan.
The Battle Beasts contracted were not the most suitable for him at all. Hence,Hui Tai Lang did not contract with merely anyone, but instead contracted with the golden dragon that was determined to be Yue Yang’s mount in the future. The hapless golden dragon had previously been caught by Yue Yang from the town, thrown to Jun Wu You before being arranged to be displayed as a model in the Martial Arts Square. It thought that it could finally escape from its grasps, but who would have ever thought that .Although Yue Yang did not use Hui Tai Lang as his mount, the jealous wolf would definitely not allow any golden dragons to be his dearest Master’s mount. Therefore, he contracted with the golden dragon the first opportunity he got.
Did you want to be my Master’s mount?
Well, that’s not your job anymore because you are now my mount!
What could the golden dragon do? Hui Tai Lang was the most favored beast of Yue Yang. If he got angry, it was possible for him to swallow it in one bite. In addition, Hui Tai Lang spit out a cloud of ancient dragon flames to tempt the golden dragon, indicating that it should be an obedient little brother. Hui Tai Lang as your big brother will cover you; otherwise, you’ll become dog food…Finally, for the sake of that ancient dragon flame, the golden dragon lowered its pride and recognized him.
Although it was contracted to a dog, at any rate this dog was still an awesome world-destroying Demon Wolf. If the owner’s thighs can’t be held, then the owner’s beast’s legs must be embraced[2]!
T/N:[2] Implies if you can’t suck up to the one in charge, you should at least do so for the second-in-line.
“Hui Tai Lang, no way! You already have your Heaven Ranked Beast whereas this Lord is still empty-handed— what kind of logic is that? No, no, no, I better take action quickly. I have to find myself a beautiful Heaven Ranked Beast to keep, d.a.m.n you!” Fatty Hai blushed with excitement and danced.
“Pretend that you don’t know about this stuff!” Ye Kong and Xue Tan Lang turned around tacitly.
“A beautiful Heaven Ranked Beast, was it? Who would have thought that you could still have such a disgusting mouth! Let me knock you back to your senses!” Wind Breath Seabird had evolved a human head at this time, but her legs were still bird feet. There was now an extra pair of wings behind her back and her strength was approaching the level of a Holy Beast as she spoke with extreme etiquette. However, her jealousy was soaring— she was the smartest Wind Breath Seabird, after all.
Poor Fatty Hai was beaten up all over again as Hui Tai Lang watched the fight. Feeling an urge to join in, he went over to beat up the guy as well.
Ye Kong and the others were used to it, so they all pretended not to see anything.
They were shocked to know that Yue Yang made the Beast Bracelet possible despite them owning the Summoning Grimoire. What does it mean to have one more war beast that directly communicated with the soul? It was equivalent to having one more Guardian Beast. Although the beast of the Beast Bracelet Contract was not as good as a proper Guardian Beast, it was very close.
Yue Yang didn’t make the process easy for them. First, he couldn’t find a suitable Heaven Ranked Beast Contract for the time being, and second, he wanted them to bring the Dragon Knights around here in the Soaring Dragon Continent.
“If you don’t have any contributions, you can’t do it. In other words, it’s also called walking out of the Tong Tian Tower. After you have trained to raise your level to the Heaven Ranks, you will take the initiative to help those who have potential and do your duty as a new generation of genius young warriors in the Tong Tian Tower. Training every day is not enough—you must combine work and rest or take a break. You have to wait until I challenge the 6th Valley, Demon Valley, before I take you to the Conqueror City!” Yue Yang arranged a mission for Fatty Hai. In fact, Fatty Hai, Ye Kong and the others have eager family members who wanted to see them after their long period of training. It was important because what would the world think if they did not partic.i.p.ate in such a major event as the formation of the Dragon Knights?
“We understand,” Ye Kong listened to Yue Yang and never questioned him.
“Recently, it seems that a lot of people have come to the Conqueror City…” Before leaving, Xue Tan Lang revealed a piece of news to Yue Yang.
Unless they were from the Central Palace?
It’s impossible— the people of the Central Palace will definitely not infiltrate the Conqueror City. Could it be that the snake-haired demon man had discovered his ident.i.ty? It’s also quite impossible. He clearly said he was waiting in White River City of the Heavenly Splendour Territory. Could it be that the Poisonous Queen Bee, Ryoma and the Sickle Weasel from Beast Valley led the tribe to vote?
Thinking of the snake-haired demon man, Yue Yang suddenly became interested.
This guy was an official descendant of the Four Major Families. He heard that the man was looking for Yue Yang as well. Perhaps it was a good thing then, since there was no need to seek him out himself and he could obtain a bit of information from him anyway.
Pondering again about the Mirror of Pain, a sub-divine artifact, Yue Yang wondered if it was related to one of the six artifacts?
In the Virgo Temple, Yi Nan had also obtained a Spiritual Mirror.
Maybe there was some connection between the two… The six artifacts have been lost for too long. HopefulLy, I can find some useful information through this trip! Thinking of this, Yue Yang immediately ran to find Princess Qian Qian, “Tigress, let’s go, let’s travel to the White River City of the Heaven Realm!”
“No, you and Sister Ye can go!” Princess Qian Qian refused.
“How sour! Tigress, you’re jealous!” Student Yue Yang used his invincible stalker skill.
“Not at all, I just need time to enlighten my sword. When I turn the Prison Emperor’s Divine Sword into my own Divine Sword, I will be able to go anywhere with you!” Princess Qan Qian hadn’t finished speaking, she had already let Yue Yang take it away, “I’m the best at that, so let’s go and study together… Ayy, Miss Xue, are you looking for me? Or the ancient rune sensed by the Storm G.o.ddess? Wait for a bit, alright? Tigress and I will sign up to explore it!”
“Hey, don’t make decisions on my behalf!” Princess Qian Qian was angry.
“Let’s go!” Student Yue Yang pretended not to hear, but just grabbed Tigress’s little hand and held on to it.
She’s just angry now, so she’ll be okay after a while. Besides, she’s not really mad either!
[TL note]:
At this point there’s more new characters that are emerging so I’m kind of making the glossary instead of referring to it. I’ll try my best to provide them as accurately as I can, so let me know if any of the names seem awkward or don’t flow all that well!
At any rate, enjoy the chapter! Hope you guys have a great day/night ahead of you!
