Chapter 207 - 35: Rumors
The wasteland east of the Dark Forest.
Guided by the Deep Red Scale, Red Dragon Carolina found the Dragon Castle where Queen of Darkness Leanna resided. — To quickly locate the Five-Colored Dragons, whether in the open or hidden on the continent, the Mother of Deep Red created a special tool using a large amount of Blood of Five-Colored Dragons that can guide to the traces of these dragons, the Deep Red Scale.
"This is the place." Carolina looked at the Dragon Castle below, hiding her form.
The specially crafted Deep Red Scale will only detect Five-Colored Dragons of a certain strength, starting from young dragons.
Weaker Five-Colored Dragons would only trigger a very faint reaction from the Deep Red Scale, unless they were very close.
Carolina concealed herself and approached the Dragon Castle, sensing the presence of a Five-Colored Dragon residing there.
Another Black Dragon.
Although she sensed that this Black Dragon’s strength was not too formidable, Carolina’s encounter with the Black Dragon King had left a shadow in her heart, making her wary of being too arrogant again.
A Dragon’s Roar, like splitting gold and cracking stone, announced itself to the master of the Dragon Castle below.
Below, a dissatisfied and irritated Dragon’s Roar soon echoed from within the Dragon Castle, as a nearly twenty-meter long, spine-studded Black Dragon soared skyward, its brown-yellow dragon eyes filled with fury.
"Which blind fool...?"
Leanna was speechless as she looked at the robust Red Dragon manifested above the clouds, its impressive body measuring thirty-five meters long, with a biological aura that made the air heavy. Instantly, her Dragon Scales stood on end, and spiritual energy clung to them, bringing her into the strongest combat mode in an instant, her momentum rapidly soaring.
Carolina finally calmed down from her previous encounter when she saw a mere twenty-meter Black Dragon charging at her, thinking to herself that there weren’t so many terrifying old creatures, and then immediately felt a sense of irritation.
Just a young Black Dragon daring to be so arrogant in front of her, Carolina— even grown Black Dragons would have to lower their heads and tuck their tails in her presence!
However, before Carolina could express her displeasure, the aura of the opposing Black Dragon began to rise sharply, elevating instantly from a normal young adult Black Dragon to the terrifying aura of a five- to six-hundred-year-old nearing fully grown Black Dragon.
"Another Black Dragon cultivating spiritual energy, and it seems their spiritual energy proficiency isn’t low." Seeing the drastically transformed Leanna, Carolina was a bit surprised.
"Don’t be so nervous; I’m not here to fight with you." Carolina released her powerful Red Dragon Long Wei, instantly suppressing Leanna’s soaring aura completely.
Leanna cautiously watched this robust Red Dragon, feeling certain that she was no match for this Female Red Dragon, and there was a considerable gap in strength.
The minimum strength for a full-grown Red Dragon is a top-level fighter below Legendary (meaning those who laze around), with slightly stronger ones reaching Pseudo-Legendary combat power (meaning some cultivation).
What about her strength?
A Level 16 Black Dragon Biological Level, combined with a Level 16 special Spiritual Energy Profession. At full force, she could easily defeat a normal Level 19 Professional, but the gap between Level 19 Master Level and Level 20 Legendary is much greater than that between Level 15 and Level 19.
If you divide the power tiers of Level 19 Professionals into three levels:
Third Tier [Regular]: Battles with regular Level 18 Professionals require effort to defeat the latter.
Second Tier [Elite]: The weaker can be bested by a single blow from a normal Level 18, but they can each defeat a normal Level 19 Professional. The stronger can easily defeat a normal Level 19 Professional.
First Tier [Limit]: The weaker can barely spar with newly promoted Legendary Professionals and escape from them, easily defeating the strong of the second stage, and killing ordinary Master Level Professionals as easily as cutting vegetables. Among this tier, the stronger can fiercely battle newly promoted Legendary Professionals, for whom those below Legend are nothing more than ants.
Carolina is highly likely a strong member of the first tier, but whether she’s the gatekeeper of the first tier or a truly terrifying Red Dragon with Legendary combat power is something Leanna cannot determine.
But she herself barely touched the threshold of the second tier.
"This is my communication tool. The information is recorded on it; take a look yourself." Seeing Leanna so vigilant, Carolina couldn’t be bothered to say more as a red light flew to the latter, and she immediately used Any Gate teleportation to leave.
Although Leanna’s strength wasn’t bad, she wasn’t considered a strong member among Five-Colored Dragons, thus she wasn’t qualified to obtain the Mother of Deep Red’s Deep Red Scale, nor was there a need for kind words to win her over.
Because when the Mother of Deep Red emerges, a Five-Colored Dragon like Leanna, whose strength is neither high nor low, will have the best choice to join the Crimson Nest.
Or completely shrink back, bury herself in the Desolate Land and ignore worldly matters.
But the latter option is practically a form of a unique punishment for a Five-Colored Dragon. As a powerful Giant Dragon, who would want to live as an earthworm?
Leanna picked up the red Dragon Scale, frowning while reading the information on it, her expression slightly changing.
Evidently, she too realized what kind of upheaval the emergence of the Mother of Deep Red would bring.
"But the place I am right now is still relatively safe; joining the Crimson Nest is not urgent. Moreover, joining now might even make me cannon fodder for the Crimson Nest..." Leanna thought calmly, returning to the Dragon Nest to begin her cultivation.
For now, the most important thing is to enhance power. A Giant Dragon’s biological level increases slowly; even though she broke through to Level 16 less than twenty years ago, reaching Level 17 again will still take at least a dozen years, even decades..... But spiritual energy is different; she brought it to Level 16 years ago, and with continued effort in cultivation, she could flawlessly break through to Level 17.
