Chapter 403: The Offshore Overlord Evolves—Forging the Dragon King’s Body in the Ocean’s Furnace!
Meet the Blackship Sea Dragon... Chen Qi looked at Yisha, who was full of curiosity.
Yisha wore an expression of confidence.
She couldn't wait to let this Beast Tamer witness true beast taming techniques!
Let the Black Hunter see what real skill looks like!
If he had the help of a top-tier Beast Tamer, the Blackship Sea Dragon could master the Dragon-Furnace Body more quickly... Chen Qi smiled slightly:
"No problem."
Yisha rested her chin on her hand, revealing a sly smile:
"Black Hunter, it's already quite late, would you like me to prepare a room for you with the unique Goldenfinch Kingdom style?"
A Goldenfinch Kingdom style room? Chen Qi cast a curious glance.
In his eyes, although Yisha had a bad temper and was extremely arrogant, like Fen, she was one of the few proper Goldenfinch nobles."Goldenfinch Kingdom style" was a very broad term, but without exception, anything described with this phrase was full of wonder!
Was Yisha not a proper person after all?
Chen Qi asked:
"What kind of room?"
Yisha proudly raised her head, raising her finger and saying:
"That would be a room with ten chubby cats! You can lie on the belly of a big chubby cat and sleep while hugging soft little chubby cats!!
If you paid to stay there, it would cost a full fifty thousand Shell Coins~
Haven't seen anything like it before, have you?"
"......"
I've once lay on seven water spirits while drinking afternoon tea, but this doesn't sound bad either... Chen Qi nodded.
After deciding tomorrow's itinerary, the two raised their glasses and clinked them together!
......
The next day, in the sea area near Moonstone City.
The Nether Sea Ghost Ship and the Canary Caravan ship were anchored in a vast sea area.
On the distant shore, Fen was wearing simple green clothes, continuously practicing the newly acquired floral aspect skills with Water Spirit No. 2.
"Rise!"
She called out softly, and thorny vines emerged from the ground beneath her feet, rapidly twisting and entangling to form three ten-meter-high queen vines.
Then, with a fierce swing, the three queen vine whips struck like snake heads, stirring up massive waves!
"Form without form, intent without intent! Still not enough, not enough!"
"Waku waku (Stronger! Stronger!)"
Water Spirit No. 2 also drank a potion, then gathered the dangerous magical liquid and shot it out as water bullets.
Fen and No. 2 are really working hard... Chen Qi stood on the Nether Sea Ghost Ship, watching the sweat-drenched Fen in the distance with a slight smile.
Although Fen had always been strong-willed, this was the first time he had seen her putting in such tremendous effort.
Chen Qi looked down at his own hands.
Through long battles and training, his once tender hands had become rough, covered with scars.
Bang!
Suddenly, both his hands trembled without warning, sending an electric, tingling sensation.
Pain!
This was the side effect of 【Rift Blade. Spatial Collapse】.
As a unique item from an A-rank rift, the Rift Blade could ignite special flames from the palm to enchant weapons, granting them the ability to destroy domains and rifts.
However, his current body and spiritual energy couldn't yet adapt to this move.
The spiritual energy consumed by one 【Spatial Collapse】 was comparable to one Release.
When he used this move against the Blood Hunter, his hands had also been damaged.
Before reaching the fifth tier and without his body connecting to a rift, it was impossible to unleash the full power of rift weapons.
Can't let Fen catch up from behind... Chen Qi turned back and asked Yisha:
"Yisha, are you ready?"
"I'm ready!"
Yisha had changed into a practical leather Beast Tamer outfit and sprayed herself with some high-quality dragon perfume.
Dragons were an extremely proud race, and sea dragons were as irritable as fire dragons—even her Allure of Ten Thousand Spirits could fail!
She had to use perfume made from dragon king fur to tame the proud sea dragon!
And what she was using was perfume from one of the Goldenfinch Kingdom's sacred beasts, the Flower Sea Dragon King—ordinary dragons simply couldn't resist this perfume!
Yisha looked at Water Spirit No. 1 by Chen Qi's feet:
"We can begin."
Chen Qi snapped his fingers:
"We have guests, come out, child!"
Under his and Fen's full care and feeding, the once cute little Blackship Sea Dragon had become a hundred-meter tall giant.
At this size, it simply couldn't fit in the Backpack Card, so Chen Qi had always kept it in the nearby sea area.
Boom!
Instantly, ripples spread in circles across the water beneath their feet.
A terrifying black figure, like a giant mountain rising from the seabed, appeared before them!
"Child..."
Yisha looked up, blinking her eyes as she gazed at those crimson eyes and rows of sharp fangs!
The moment the Coastal Apex Predator saw Yisha, it bared its fangs and roared at her:
"ROAR————"
The terrifying dragon roar blew their hair straight back!
Yisha gripped the whip at her waist, assuming a combat stance.
Chen Qi stepped forward and said:
"Sorry, Yisha, it's still just a child and not used to strangers, that's why it's shouting at you."
You call this a child! Yisha swallowed hard.
Unlike her brother, her talent couldn't charm ferocious beasts, so all five of her pet beasts were naturally gentle creatures!
The Blackship Sea Dragon before her was undoubtedly a highly aggressive ferocious beast!
Boom!
The Blackship Sea Dragon bared its fangs, its massive body pressing down like a heavy dark cloud.
Yisha gritted her teeth.
Her brother had said that different pet beasts required different training methods—only blades and whips could tame ferocious beasts!
"Stop messing around, I know you're hungry."
Chen Qi took out five pre-prepared Supernatural Bait from his Backpack Card.
Toss!
"Hah, hah, hah—"
In an instant, the Coastal Apex Predator stuck out its big tongue, panting while wagging its tail, and swallowed the bait in mid-air.
"!!!"
Yisha stared at this scene in stunned silence.
Such small, nutrient-poor bait could make this ferocious beast act so silly!
After eating the bait, the Coastal Apex Predator immediately calmed down and lowered its head.
After Chen Qi patted the hard scales on the Coastal Apex Predator's head with his hand, he continued:
"Alright, Yisha, I'm ready to use the pet beast skill learning card. If there are any problems, please help out."
"Okay..."
Yisha nodded. In fact, she wasn't good at dealing with hot-tempered ferocious beasts either.
Yisha asked:
"You absolutely must not be stingy with pet beasts. Actually, I have some fourth-tier Release skill cards that can help dragon-type pet beasts master skills."
After saying this, she stroked the little Golden Flower Fox in her arms:
"To make the little Golden Flower Fox stronger, I used a fourth-tier Goblet affinity skill card of Giant Beast's Power on it, right, little Golden Flower Fox?"
"Mhmm!"
The little Golden Flower Fox nodded.
Although her master was strict, she was never stingy with her pet beasts!
Yisha lifted her chin and asked proudly:
"By the way, Black Hunter, what skill card are you planning to teach your pet beast?"
"Dragon-Furnace Body."
Chen Qi said calmly, quietly taking out the 【Dragon-Furnace Body】 and 【Flower Spirit's Guidance】 skill cards from his Backpack Card.
Among them, Flower Spirit's Guidance was the Canary family's unique pet beast support skill card—using this card would give the Coastal Apex Predator a probability of learning Dragon-Furnace Body!
"That dazzling glow!"
Yisha widened her eyes, staring intently at the cards in Chen Qi's hands!
The dragon figure on that card, the flames comparable to the depths of a volcano!
Without doubt, that was a top-tier skill card that only Saints could successfully learn!
A fifth-tier forbidden skill card!
The Black Hunter wanted the Coastal Apex Predator to learn a skill card that only Saints could master!
"Ah?"
Yisha was completely stunned.
That was an ultra-rare reward from an A-rank rift!
Even she, a pet beast genius, had never attempted such an operation!
Chen Qi then took out the pre-processed Blizzard Dragon King's heart, dragon king's blood, and dragon king's bones from his Backpack Card one by one!
"And these are?"
Yisha tried hard to maintain the pride of a genius Beast Tamer as she continued questioning.
Chen Qi explained:
"Parts from the Blizzard Dragon King's remains. These are essential for it to perfectly digest the Dragon-Furnace Body."
The Blizzard Dragon King, that Great Sea Coffin's BOSS!
The remains of a fifth-tier dragon king!
Yisha couldn't help but slightly open her mouth wide.
Only now did she realize that Chen Qi wasn't simply having his pet beast learn a skill!
He was cultivating a dragon king-level terrifying existence!
He was going to consume unimaginable supernatural resources to achieve the Coastal Apex Predator's super evolution!
The Coastal Apex Predator's massive figure also made everyone on the Canary Caravan ship retreat.
Under the astonished gazes of the Canary Caravan, Chen Qi threw the two cards into the air.
"Humans..."
The little Golden Flower Fox looked at the two skill cards thrown by Chen Qi, also showing an envious expression.
The two cards erupted with unprecedented energy in the air!
The Flower Spirit's Guidance card transformed into a small spirit with transparent wings.
This little spirit would serve as a teacher to instruct the Coastal Apex Predator.
However, the power of this card wasn't terrifying—
Then, in the air, the 【Dragon-Furnace Body】 card slowly melted, turning into a drop of scalding magma that fell—
"ROAR!"
The moment that drop of magma touched the sea, the ocean emitted an ear-splitting dragon roar!
Immediately after, the originally gentle waves suddenly began boiling as if ignited by invisible flames, with scalding steam rising from the nearby sea area, the color shifting from deep blue to crimson!
Even the sky in this area turned intensely red!
The sea was being ignited! Yisha immediately crossed her arms to block.
The forbidden card from an A-rank rift—even practicing this skill would cause massive destruction to the terrain!
"This is the power contained within Dragon-Furnace Body—"
Chen Qi also widened his eyes.
And in the next instant, a massive vortex suddenly formed beside the Coastal Apex Predator.
As the vortex deepened, an ancient and solemn forge slowly rose from the seabed!
Using dragon blood as fire, the body as the forge, the world as the hammer, forging one's body, transcending mortality to achieve sainthood!
This was the essence of the Dragon-Furnace Body skill card!
The Coastal Apex Predator widened its eyes, looking at the forge beneath the vortex with full of fear.
This immense power made even it feel boundless terror!
"Roar!"
The Coastal Apex Predator stuck out its tongue, continuously puffing air at Chen Qi, wanting to escape the forge of Dragon-Furnace Body!
The extreme cold power of the sea would reduce the harm of Dragon-Furnace Body.
Without hesitation, the Ember's Touch behind Chen Qi threw the Blizzard Dragon King's heart, blood, and bones into the massive forge within the vortex.
And the Flower Spirit also flew to the Coastal Apex Predator's side, beginning to teach it how to absorb the forge's power.
"Hah, hah, hah—"
However, the Coastal Apex Predator just kept exerting force, trying to escape this massive vortex.
Yisha watched the scene before her, completely stunned.
Now, someone had to make the Coastal Apex Predator overcome its inner fear!
Otherwise, the power of Dragon-Furnace Body would be wasted.
Yisha prepared to step forward and use her fourth-tier dragon language to persuade the Coastal Apex Predator.
Should be no problem... Chen Qi gestured with his fingers and said to the Coastal Apex Predator:
"Follow the Flower Spirit, and you'll get one thousand Supernatural Bait as reward!"
One thousand Supernatural Bait! Upon hearing this, the Coastal Apex Predator gritted its teeth and rushed into the forge of the sea vortex without hesitation.
This works too! Yisha was stunned.
What kind of treasure exactly is Supernatural Bait?
The little golden fox in her arms also swallowed hard, its big eyes looking at Chen Qi.
The Coastal Apex Predator isn't the type of pet beast that gets scared easily... Chen Qi looked at the Coastal Apex Predator in the center of the vortex.
Under the Flower Spirit's guidance, the Coastal Apex Predator slowly coiled into a ball, burying its head in the center, forming a massive iron-ring-like sphere, using its outer layer of pitch-black dragon scales to resist the forge's scorching heat!
Under the forge's baptism, its pitch-black dragon scales began to shed, revealing fresh red, scalding flesh that burst into roaring flames.
And as the flesh shed, the Blizzard Dragon King's bones and blood re-covered its massive body.
Every muscle, every bone in its body was undergoing unprecedented transformation—everything about its body was evolving to a higher level!
Boom! Boom!
And so, the Coastal Apex Predator used the sea as its furnace, continuously reshaping its own body!
On the sea, layer after layer of scalding waves kept surging!
The sea area near Moonstone City had already become the Coastal Apex Predator's evolution ground.
"......"
Yisha watched this scene, not knowing how to describe her feelings.
She could clearly feel that once the reshaping was completed, the Coastal Apex Predator would possess power comparable to fourth-tier Transcendents, even matching the Great Sea Coffin's Blizzard Dragon King!
And by then, the Coastal Apex Predator's power would surpass her proud little Golden Flower Fox!
She never imagined that as the princess of the Goldenfinch Kingdom, she would witness the birth of a dragon king-level pet beast in this remote place!
Chen Qi took out his mechanical pocket watch and checked the time:
"It will take at least half a day more. By the way, Yisha, do you have any other guidance?"
None... Yisha looked at Chen Qi and said quietly:
"Well... Black Hunter, did you notify Moonstone City's fleet about today's events?"
This boiling sea area was impossible to ignore.
Even merchant ships tens of thousands of meters away could clearly feel the sea temperature rising.
This was a major event enough to shock Moonstone City!
"......"
Time was tight... Chen Qi paused for a moment, then quietly answered:
"No."
"No..."
Yisha was stunned, repeating the word.
The Black Hunter seemed even more crazy than her!
Immediately, the two of them turned to look toward Moonstone City's direction.
There, ten massive warships were charging toward them at full speed!
And on the foremost warship stood none other than Moonstone City's council president, Madame Oli.
She held her forehead, both angry and helpless as she said:
"Black Hunter... I... you..."
