The Strongest Dragon in the Era of Beast Taming - Chapter 524 - Chapter 524: Chapter 518: Aqua Rossetti Lindwood

Chapter 524: Chapter 518: Aqua Rossetti Lindwood

The pillar of light that pierced the sky and earth only lasted a brief ten seconds, causing the water level of Mermaid Lake to temporarily drop by two meters and revealing numerous corpses of shrimp soldiers and crab generals on the lake surface.

As for the other Mermaids, they had left early on when the great battle began to erupt, making their way upstream towards the mainstream of Star Abyss Lake.

“Whoosh!”

Aqua, with her keen spirit sense, turned around faster than Greenox. As expected, the person who arrived was her long-awaited master.

But not only that, Aqua also noticed an extra glittering and transparent emerald bracelet on the master’s wrist. She had seen this bracelet on Jewel s wrist before, and now that it had appeared in the hands of her master, the fate of the latter was obvious.

“Greenox, have you ever been to the Great You Emperor City?” David Jones asked.

“No.”

Greenox thumped his chest, “Spring Mansion is not far from the Emperor’s City. If you want to go, I can lead the way.”

“Fine, let’s skip the Spring Mansion, we will head for the Emperor s City. David Jones gave a nod of assent.

“Also, inform Suffering County that Jewel colluded with Ghost Hunter Guilt, harming the ghosts and seeking souls.” Having said this, David Jones stepped into the carriage with Aqua.

In the carriage, David Jones observed that Aqua was constantly staring at him, and subconsciously touched his face.

“What’s the matter? Is there something on my face?”

Aqua shook her head.

“Then what is it?”

Aqua’s face showed a touch of hesitation, she spoke softly: “Can I become as strong as you?”

She wanted to get closer to David Jones instead of being a bystander like she

was today.

Although Aqua could feel herself growing stronger all the time, her physical strength was limited. The extent to which she could enhance it each day was limited, and it would take at least a year or two to advance to Class V Ghost Prince, let alone the Ghost King above the Ghost Prince.

Besides, her intuition told her that if the strengthening of her flesh couldn’t keep up with the pervasive powerful ghost force in the world, she might die in the future!

“Given your talent, it’s easy to become a Strong One. If your subsequent treatment goes well, not only will your speed of becoming stronger not decrease, it will skyrocket.” David Jones spoke naturally.

It was pointless to hide one’s talent, as the owner of the body, how could Aqua not know about the abnormalities appearing in her own body.

“Still too slow!” Aqua’s eyes were determined.

Back in the impoverished Penance Village, she had once tried to practice low- level Refining Techniques. The result was no strengthening effects, the proud blood in her body would not resonate with inferior techniques.

Intuition told her that only high-level techniques could possibly activate the blood within her. And such techniques could only exist with her master.

“Isn’t it okay to be a bit slow? If it’s too fast, your body won’t be able to handle it.” David Jones met her gaze.

After persisting for a long time, David Jones was eventually persuaded by the stubbornness in Aqua’s eyes.

He sighed, “Do you know about Darkblood Hades?”

Aqua shook her head.

No choice, David Jones could only explain to her the functions and drawbacks of Darkblood Hades.

After listening to David Jones’s introduction, Aqua’s azure eyes immediately sparkled.

Her instinct, which allowed her to avoid harm and seek benefits, told her that although this technique of Darkblood Hades was somewhat incompatible, she should be able to cultivate it.

So, Aqua took the initiative to say, “Master, I want this technique! Can I qualify to learn this technique if I take you as my teacher?”

“Becoming a teacher for a day means being a parent for a lifetime, are you sure you want to take me as your teacher?” David Jones looked serious, his sharp gaze as if peering into all of Aqua’s innermost thoughts.

However, Aqua seemed to have misunderstood his meaning this time.

She hesitated for a moment, then dazedly called him “father.

“Huh???”

David Jones gaped, looking at Aqua with a strange expression, barely keeping up with her train of thought.

“Huh?” S(QVQ “a (Father?) Rainbow’s eyes widened, her gaze frantically shifting between David Jones and Aqua.

When did her own Trainer acquire a daughter!

If this matter really came to pass, should she have Aqua call her auntie, or would it be better to call her mother?

Sensing Rainbow’s thoughts, David Jones speechlessly flicked her forehead, then seriously said to Aqua.

“Father? I meant that you should respect your teacher as if he’s your father! In the future, just call me teacher.”

“Teacher!” Aqua immediately knelt down and bowed deeply.

Greenox, who had just returned from handling some things, saw this surprising scene and almost had his eyeballs fall out of his head in envy.

“Alright, you don’t need to be so formal.”

David Jones helped Aqua up by her delicate frame and placed the Heritage Stone of the Darkblood Hades in her palm.

“Just touch it with your mental force to comprehend.” Upon hearing this, Aqua closed her eyes and released her relatively weak psychic power.

David Jones activated his Illusion-Piercing Eye and observed the phenomenon that Aqua produced after she accepted the Darkblood Hades and began running the refining technique on her own.

Quickly, two hours passed, and Aqua opened her eyes, an imposing aura exploding from her.

Her strength had broken through two minor stages in a row from the initial stage of a Class IV Ghost Lord, promoting her to the later stage.

This terrifying rate of progress made David Jones couldn’t help but be shocked, even beginning to wonder if he had accidentally unleashed an extremely dangerous freak in the Umbral Kingdom.

“Thank you, teacher, for giving me this top-grade technique. I promise to break through to Ghost Prince within a month.” Aqua said with a somewhat excited tone.

The pursuit of power is a natural instinct of the Ghosts, and even Aqua was no exception.

Hearing that Aqua called him ‘teacher’ instead of ‘father’, Rainbow and Lolo Daphne locked eyes, both of them disappointedly lowering their heads.

Damn, no more fun to watch!

She’d initially thought she would have an additional pseudo-daughter!

At this time, seeing that Aqua was still gazing at him expectantly, David Jones frowned slightly, “Is there anything else?”

“Teacher, a name!” Aqua reminded.

David Jones suddenly realized. In the Umbral Kingdom, it was quite common for a teacher to name a newly accepted pupil, representing the teacher s high hopes for the pupil.

“But don’t you already have a name?”

David Jones, who was not good at naming, planned to skip this step, but Aqua remained stubborn.

“I am an orphan, nameless and surnameless. Aqua is just my nickname.” Looking at the expectation and hope hidden in Aqua’s eyes, David Jones pondered for a moment and casually picked a name that he was satisfied with. “Rossetti Lindwood, do you like this name?”

“Rossetti Lindwood!” After repeating the name a few times, Aqua’s eyes curved like a crescent moon, clearly very satisfied.

Hearing this name, Greenox, who was driving, suddenly narrowed his eyes.

The Umbral society was one where a system of identities and a system of the strong coexisted. Sometimes, one could determine a Ghost’s identity just by looking at their surname. The surname ‘Rossetti’ was the surname of the Great Dusky Royal Family, representing the most noble bloodline in the Umbral. Although in recent thousand of years, there were numerous members of the Imperial Family lost in the populace, which led to many women with the surname ‘Rossetti’ appearing among the common people of the Umbral, making the name less precious, but the identity of a ‘Rossetti’ woman who could maintain a connection with the Imperial Family was still noble, her status higher than even the legitimate daughters of the Thirteen Sacred Clans. “Could it be that the great man is a lost descendant of the Royal Family!” Greenox began to let his imagination run wild.
