Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 1178 - 1176: Song Hong’s Shock

Xia Lalan and Xia Yunfeng were only jolted awake at this time. Seeing that Lin Feng and the children had already climbed onto the back of the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon, there was not much they could say. They hurriedly moved and flew onto its back as well.

Once everyone was on the back of the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon, it was delighted. Turning its head towards the group, it said, "My speed is a bit fast, you all should hold onto my scales."

Upon hearing what the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon said, Xia Lalan, Xia Yunfeng, and the children immediately did as they were told. They all gripped onto the scales of the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon. Those scales were enormous, with each one easily the size of a wash basin and two to three fingers thick. Holding on tightly to them felt very secure. Meanwhile, Lin Feng stood still without moving. Even if the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon was incredibly fast, he would not have any problems.

Seeing that everyone was ready, the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon suddenly emitted deep blue demon energy that resembled lightning. In the next moment, it transformed into a streak of blue light and vanished from the spot.

Upon witnessing this scene from atop the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon, the children, Xia Lalan, and Xia Yunfeng were almost scared green in the face. Such speed was truly beyond any of their imaginations. Watching as forests and mountains below passed by like fleeting shadows, they thought to themselves that the speed was simply too extreme...

......

Below the Myriad Immortals Platform, Xia Yuntian’s brow was deeply furrowed at this moment. Sitting alone in a room and sighing, the great competition was soon to start, and there had still been no sight of Lin Feng and the children. This indicated that Lin Feng and the children probably would not be able to make it, which meant that the Xia Family could be in real trouble for this competition.

With this thought, Xia Yuntian felt like his head was about to explode. He knew that Lin Feng could be exasperating at times, but he had not expected Lin Feng to be so unreliable regarding something as important as the competition. This was like making a joke out of the Xia Family’s honor. Yet, he had no good solution for Lin Feng. With the old ancestor there, no one in the Xia Family could lay a finger on Lin Feng, not even him, as the Family Head.

"Forget it, let’s just have the youth and adult groups participate. At worst, the Xia Family will come in last," Xia Yuntian said to himself, shaking his head as he sat in the chair. At this point, he had no other options. All he could hope for was that the youth and adult groups would put in a strong effort and earn some honor for the family. As for Lin Feng’s junior group, he had given up completely. It was this late, and they were still nowhere to be seen. He really didn’t understand what Lin Feng was thinking...

......

Under the terrifyingly high speed of the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon, it wasn’t long before they arrived above the region of the Myriad Immortals Platform. Seeing the distant Platform, Xia Yunfeng suddenly snapped to his senses. The four Prominent Families and various powers were all down there, and if the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon suddenly barged in, it would likely scare those people to death!

Thinking this, Xia Yunfeng immediately spoke to Lin Feng, "We can’t just enter like this. The Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon will scare people to death! I suggest we find a corner to land, and then proceed towards the competition. Over there is the Xia Family’s area; let’s head in that direction!"

Hearing what Xia Yunfeng said, Lin Feng also realized that it seemed rather flamboyant to let the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon carry them directly in. He nodded, and then immediately pointed in the direction Xia Yunfeng indicated and said to the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon, "Land at the foot of that mountain, and don’t get too close."

"Okay!" Upon receiving Lin Feng’s instructions, the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon immediately complied. It understood that Lin Feng was doing this for its own good. If it appeared rashly, it could likely be attacked by others. Though it feared no one, it did not want to cause trouble for Lin Feng and make him angry.

In the blink of an eye, they landed at the foot of a mountain on the outskirts of the Myriad Immortals Platform, still some distance away from where the competition would take place. This distance was just right; it would not disturb anyone, yet it was as close to the Myriad Immortals Platform as possible...

Yet this scene was accidentally witnessed by someone. He was none other than Song Hong, the old ancestor of the Song Family, tall and erect, dressed in a navy blue robe, with a silver beard that fell across his chest, giving him an immortal-like presence. He was inspecting the formations around the Myriad Immortals Platform. As an inspector for the competition, it was his responsibility.

Every competition required one or two ancestors from the four Prominent Families to patrol the arena’s surroundings due to the large number of Demon Beasts in the area. To prevent any disturbances during the competition, ancestors of their caliber had to be present to oversee the safety of the Platform and inspect the surrounding Formations in case of any unexpected issues.

While inspecting, Song Hong suddenly felt an incredibly terrifying presence, a presence that he was also very familiar with—as if it belonged to the Demon King, the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon, which left him astonished. He wondered how this creature had come to this place. Was it here to cause trouble?

In the past, when the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon and the Dark Flame Sky-Burning Tiger, the two Demon Kings, fought, it had caused a great disturbance. He and the other ancestors of the Prominent Families had gone to negotiate with the two Demon Kings, so he was very familiar with the presence of the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon and knew just how horrifyingly powerful it was. Its strength surpassed even these ancestors, and it was very domineering. In the end, the four ancestors could do nothing against it and had to leave in frustration.

Now, suddenly encountering this presence again filled him with an ominous feeling. Without a moment’s hesitation, he rushed towards the presence of the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon to see what exactly was happening. But as he approached, he saw a sight that he could never have imagined in his lifetime.

He saw an old man and two youths leading a group of children down from the back of the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon. Without a doubt, it was the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon that had brought these people here. What was even more unbelievable was that he saw the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon nodding its head and making affectionate gestures toward one of the young men, as if it were a pet...

My heavens, is this really the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon?!

Witnessing the scene before him, he was completely astounded, never expecting to encounter such an inconceivable sight. He was well aware of how ferocious the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon was, so how did it become like this before his very eyes? He thought to himself, how could this be possible? Since when did the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon become so amiable?

At this moment, Song Hong’s mind was truly in a blur. In the past, who knew how many experts perished at the hands of the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon? Its notoriety was known to all within the Hidden World, an existence no one dared to provoke. How could it suddenly change its temper today, becoming so gentle? It was utterly unimaginable!

What shocked him even more was the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon’s attitude towards that young man. It was simply too astonishing. He had never heard of the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon ever being so cordial to anyone, let alone showing such affection. He thought, what in the world is going on here? This... he was at a loss for words.

As Song Hong stood there stunned, Lin Feng smiled lightly and said to the children, "Rest here for a while, we’re going to meet the Family Head first and will come back later."

After speaking, Lin Feng turned around and left with Xia Lalan and Xia Yunfeng. Having arrived here, it was natural to meet the Family Head first to arrange everything, and then come back to lead the children.

Seeing Lin Feng walk away, the children obediently quieted down and sat on the ground to begin cultivation. The big competition was approaching, and they were naturally very happy to increase their strength even by a little. But just as they sat down, out of nowhere, a pile of unknown fruits suddenly appeared before them, leaving the children dumbstruck, not understanding what had happened.

"What are you staring for? These fruits are for you, just consider them as fruits to quench your thirst," said the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon, suddenly reducing its size from a huge one hundred zhang to just a few zhang, hovering in the air, speaking in an exceedingly gentle tone to the children. These fruits were indeed gifts for the children from it, and there was nothing to be surprised about.

"For us?"

"This... this is a Green Orchid Fruit! I’ve seen it in the apothecary!"

"This one is a Wood Spirit Pill Fruit, I recognize it!"

"Good heavens, these are all rare fruits, and they’re all for us..."

...

Upon hearing the words of the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon, the children were stunned. They couldn’t believe that the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon would bring out so many good things. Although these fruits were not extremely precious, they were still very rare and treasured items. Now this Demon King was giving them out as if just to quench their thirst, how could they possibly believe it?

This... how could this be possible!

Watching from a distance, Song Hong was even more baffled by this scene. He could never have imagined the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon making such a gesture, willingly giving those rare fruits to the children. Every Demon Beast was known to keep its possessions, never letting go of any treasure it had acquired, and now the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon was voluntarily giving so many fruits to the children. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he’d never believe such an event could happen.

But before he had time to think further, the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon spoke again, "Of course, they are for you. Don’t be shy, take them. Just a few good words on my behalf to your Teacher Lin would be more than enough."

Looking at the children, the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon spoke in an imploring tone. It had realized that these children had a very good relationship with Lin Feng. Befriending these children was definitely the right move, and they might even meet often in the future. If the children would speak favorably of it, its standing with Lin Feng would also be better off.

"Oh, you mean that? No problem!"

"Rest assured, we’ll speak well of you."

"Thank you for the fruits, we won’t forget you."

...

When the children heard the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon say this, they finally understood its intentions. It turned out that it wanted them to put in a good word for it. Of course, this was easy to manage; it was just a matter of speaking. Hence, they happily agreed.

However, the children didn’t think too much about it. On the other hand, Song Hong, who watched from afar, was completely dumbfounded by the scene, unable to fathom everything that was unfolding before him!
