Chapter 129 - 123: Inviting a Fight to the Doorstep
Everyone looked at the door in surprise.
Ignoring the knock, Gavin Maud coughed and said solemnly, “You should take
it.”
No need to be polite in front of him.
Can’t I see through your little plan?
Seeing this, David Jones didn’t choose to continue refusing and directly took the treasure into his Star Ring.
The Cold Essence was an extremely suitable and rare ice resource for Rainbow.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Seeing no movement in the room, the knocking sounded again.
“Come in,” Gavin Maud said in a deep voice.
The door was pushed open, and everyone followed the sound to see a handsome young man, about 1.8 meters tall, with a resolute gaze, stride in.
“Nixon Lowell?”
Everyone knew about the Big Four of Suntomb City and recognized the young man, but they had no dealings with him.
In this competition, the only one who could be connected with Nixon Lowell was David Jones beside them!
Thinking about this, everyone’s gaze fell on David, filled with surprise and curiosity, waiting for the development of the situation.
Realizing he had suddenly become the focus, David Jones was slightly stunned.
What was going on?
Was he here for revenge?
In the Dungeon, he had plundered two of the Big Four of Suntomb City; but it didn’t warrant Nixon to personally seek revenge, did it?
“I apologize for the interruption, President Maud.” Nixon Lowell greeted politely, then looked directly at David Jones.
Gavin Maud nodded slightly and said, “We’re having a meal here, did you have something to discuss?”
“I’m sorry for disturbing your meal. I wanted to talk to David about something,” Nixon Lowell laughed embarrassedly.
“As expected!” Margaret Yule’s face showed curiosity when she saw the polite
yet determined young man.
Was he here to battle?
Unfortunately, Rainbow’s strength was only Class II upper-level and most likely couldn’t beat Nixon Lowell.
Thinking about this, the anticipation in Margaret Yule’s eyes vanished instantly.
This would probably be a one-sided Pet battle.
Looking at the aggressive Nixon Lowell, David Jones showed a fleeting trace of puzzlement in his eyes, “What do you want to discuss?”
“I heard you’re quite powerful, and your Initial Pet is a Flood Dragon. I want to have a battle with you,” Nixon Lowell said straightforwardly.
“Flood Dragon?”
Wen Yan, Margaret Yule, and Oswald Maud looked astonished and couldn’t make sense of the situation.
David Jones’s initial pet was the Coldjade Snake, wasn’t it?
When did it become a Flood Dragon?!
Could Nixon Lowell have found the wrong person?
“Sure, but can we wait until we finish eating?”
David Jones smiled, recalling the fierce-looking Three-headed Flame Dragon he had seen in the Dungeon; its strength was extraordinary.
He was curious to know whether the Class II Rainbow would be superior or if the Class III Three-headed Flame Dragon would be stronger.
“If you want to have a Pet Battle, Director Maud suggests there is a special Battleground at the Beast Master Base in Watersun Valley.”
With David Jones and Nixon Lowell’s strength, it was best to fight in a professional Battleground for safety reasons.
“Then, see you at the Battle Gym in half an hour?”, David Jones suggested. “Alright,” Nixon Lowell nodded, “I won’t bother you guys with your meal.” Watching the figure of Nixon Lowell leave, Oswald Maud was somewhat silent, just a few months ago, he still could spar a few moves with David Jones, but now the gap between them grew larger and larger!
Oswald Maud picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it in one gulp.
“Dun dun dun…”
He couldn’t quite accept this sudden twist in reality and decided to drown his sorrows in alcohol.
Margaret Yule poured David Jones a glass of milk and curiously asked, “When did Rainbow turn into a Flood Dragon?”
If not for Nixon Lowell’s sudden visit, she wouldn’t have known how much longer he would have kept it a secret.
“Rainbow evolved into a Flood Dragon in the Dungeon at Mountain Southshore,” David took a sip of the milk handed to him.
Margaret was taken aback for a moment, then quickly realized what he meant.
It had actually been three months ago.
She had heard about the presence of a True Dragon in the dungeon at Mountain Southshore. It seemed like David had quite a few adventures there, even making Rainbow undergo a successful evolution.
“I have never seen a Flood Dragon before. Can I take a look at it, David?” Margaret asked with interest.
David didn’t refuse. His Star Ring flashed, and an orange Rune Circle quickly appeared and disappeared. In an instant, Rainbow’s figure appeared in front of him.
“A Class III Arcane Star?” Both Margaret and Oswald Maud were shocked, momentarily disregarding the appearance of the Flood Dragon.
How long had it been?
From the awakening of his Arcane Star at age sixteen to now, it had only been a little over three years.
It was well known that to cultivate an Arcane Star from Class I to Class II, an average Trainer would need at least three years of Calm Mind cultivation.
Even for gifted Trainers, it would take at least one year or more.
Not to mention the difficulty of breaking through from a Class II to a Class III Arcane Star.
Although many Class III Arcane Star users appeared in this Trainer Competition, most of them had forced their breakthrough using elixirs, which made it less remarkable.
Of course, Nixon Lowell was an exception, as he had never used any elixirs to enhance his Arcane Star and relied solely on his talent and effort to break through.
“What’S wrong?” David asked, puzzled, noticing the stunned faces of the two in front of him.
The Flood Dragon species may be rare and valuable, but they shouldn’t be so dumbfounded if they already knew about it beforehand, right?
“I drank too much, feeling a bit dizzy.” Oswald blinked and spoke with a somewhat groggy tone.
Alcohol is harmful!
Having consumed just two glasses of wine, he was already experiencing hallucinations.
With that thought, he poured himself a few more glasses, causing Guildmaster Maud to frown at the sight.
“It’s nothing,” Margaret smiled and then turned her gaze towards Rainbow. Compared to her previous cute and charming appearance, the current azure Flood Dragon looked more elegant and mysterious. Margaret excitedly greeted it.
“Hi, Rainbow, long time no see.”
Rainbow glanced at the beautiful girl in front without a care, ignoring her and immediately coiling around David’s neck.
“Say hello,” David patted Rainbow’s head.
“Yi,” o( > ‘ )o(you_hello!)
Rainbow raised her head in acknowledgment, then turned her gaze towards the juicy crabs on the table.
“You can have some if you want.”
David smiled, picked up a crab from his plate, and handed it to Rainbow, “Do you want me to peel the shell for you?”
Rainbow shook her head and swallowed the food in front of her in one bite.
“Crunch crunch.” She tasted it directly, shell and all.
“It tastes good,” Rainbow looked satisfied.
Although this crab wasn’t as good as the Lava Lobster in the dungeon, it was still a delicious treat.
After Rainbow had her fill, David finished the remaining milk in his glass, and then looked at the girl next to him.
“I’m going to have a match with Nixon Lowell later on. Do you want to watch?” “Of course, I won’t miss such an exciting battle,” Margaret’s eyes sparkled with anticipation.
In response, Rainbow raised her head confidently.
“Yi!” ( V )/ (I_can_definitely_win!)
