Chapter 417 Nine Seals

The Dark Dragon Hound appeared to be quite different from before. It was still a hound.

But it looked less like a hound.

Its dark fur had become golden and its body was twice its original size. The Dark Dragon Hound was lying on all fours on the ground and it was seven to eight meters tall. But if the Dark Dragon Hound stood up, its height would be at about fifteen meters!

Many thick golden scales covered up the Dark Dragon Hound’s limbs. Its paws were so sharp that they could break boulders.

On the back, it had several sharp spikes that were like many swords.

The Dark Dragon Hound had two huge horns on its head, strange and stunning at the same time.

The Little Skeleton, the Inferno Dragon and the Purple Python went to see the Dark Dragon Hound, looking up and down their friend that they found both strange and familiar.

Su Ping tried to sense the Dark Dragon Hound’s rank at once.

Still, the sixth rank.

First, Su Ping heaved a sigh in relief. Next, he was baffled. Where was the legacy? How come there was no increase in rank? The Dark Dragon Hound opened its eyes. Its dark eyes had turned golden as well. The glow in its eyes was elegant and strangely cold at the same time. That should have been an eye color of cold-blooded animals.

Su Ping walked around the Dark Dragon Hound, twice, but failed to notice anything out of the ordinary.

That was it?

While Su Ping was wondering, a puff of golden light appeared and took the shape of the dragon king. The figure was much thinner than before and appeared to be almost intangible. “I have given thy battle pet my legacy. Thou shalt take care of thy battle pet. Thou shalt not violate thy promise.”

The dragon king’s voice was feeble. “In case thy battle pet’s strength is too much for thee to handle, I have isolated the legacy into different groups.”

“The legacy related to my strength is temporarily sealed inside thy battle pet. There are nine seals and a part of the strength will be freed every time a seal is undone. When all of the nine seals are released, the battle pet will have my full strength. It will be at the peak of the legendary rank. As for reaching the Star Rank, it will be up to thy battle pet’s own efforts!”

“I will teach thee the method to undo the nine seals. Thou can undo the seals accordingly.” “The strength of each seal is different. After the first seal is undone, thy battle pet will reach the eighth rank. Undoing the second seal will bring thy battle pet to the peak of the t.i.tled rank. Undoing the third seal can help it reach the legendary rank…”

The dragon king’s soul let out a sudden growl. In the meantime, a streak of golden light was cast over Su Ping.

Su Ping felt some information was being infused into his mind. It was the method to undo the seals as well as what the Dark Dragon Hound could achieve as each layer of seal was removed.

Su Ping had gotten the answer as to why the Dark Dragon Hound’s rank was still the same. The seals were in place to lock in the energy. In a sense, the dragon king’s soul was quite considerate.

Touched, Su Ping said, “You may rest in peace. I will keep my promise.” The dragon king’s soul took a deep breath. “I’m not done yet…

“My energy was sealed up, but the other part of my legacy, the dragon bloodline and the skills, all of them have been stamped inside your battle pet. Its bloodline is no longer that of the Dark Dragon Hound. Thy battle pet has received my bloodline, that of the Heaven Expansion Dragon. Although the bloodline is not pure, it will help thy battle pet cultivate to the legendary rank without any hindrance.

“Besides, having received my skills, thy battle pet’s wilt became much more powerful than the battle pets of the same rank. I hope you can cherish it!”

The dragon king’s soul was speaking for the sake of the Dark Dragon Hound.

It was as if the dragon king’s soul was afraid that Su Ping would no longer value the Dark Dragon Hound when it was gone. That, of course, was not going to happen. The dragon king’s soul was worrying about nothing.

“Do not worry. The Dark Dragon Hound will always be my battle pet and friend!” Su Ping said. He stressed the last word and for the first time, he was talking to the dragon king’s soul in a serious tone.

The dragon king’s soul gazed at Su Ping and nodded. For the first time, the dragon king’s soul was relieved.

The dragon king’s soul had at one point regretted over choosing this human being but there was nothing it could do. The dragon king’s soul would have to stick with its choice. The good thing was that, while the young man appeared to be indifferent to the other’s lives, he did care about his battle pets.

“This is my soul and your consciousness will be its host for the time being. If you are lucky enough to find the world of dragons, you can take out my soul’s coffin and bury it,” the dragon king’s soul said. A certain hue appeared from behind, which was the mysterious coffin that was shrinking down. By the time the coffin reached Su Ping, it had shrunk to the size of a finger.

Su Ping gave his consent; the coffin merged into Su Ping’s forehead and re-emerged in his consciousness.

Su Ping placed it in a corner of his consciousness. He planned to go back to the store and browse through the list of cultivation sites and see if he could find the world that the dragon king’s soul had mentioned. If he could, he would be able to grant the dragon king’s wish right away.

“You can leave. I want to spend the rest of my time alone in quietness.”
