The Naughty Senior Sister
Dragon Recognition Symbols Heavenly Tribulation Lightning
The manifestation of the Dragon Lightning Heavenly Tribulation sprawled helplessly on the ground that had been shattered by the slash of the Dayu sword.
Opposite him, Yan Xu stood upright even though his face was already pale from using too much qi energy, exceeding the speed of the Qi Gong method.
Meanwhile, the Sword of Dayu had already returned to Su Yinfeng's lap. He left secretly and left behind a fake sword when Su Yinfeng fell asleep, now he had to return immediately so as not to be caught. Although he was still reluctant to leave Yan Xu, unfortunately Yan Xu's qi energy was also no longer able to maintain the manifestation of the Dayu Sword.
"Human, isn't that too much? The heavenly tribulation lightning has strength equivalent to a cultivator's cultivation realm, but the attacks you gave out far exceeded your cultivation level now," protested the exhausted lightning dragon's manifestation.
"I have to beat you for a reason. Even though you are just a small piece of the original, at least try to put in more effort" Yan Xu replied with his choking breath.
"Effort your envy! Where is there anyone who takes out a legendary weapon slashing its manifestation that is only at the peak realm of the golden core other than you!" shouted the lightning dragon with all his might.
"Pfft!— Hahahaha! ...."
"He ... He .... Ahhaha!"
The two of them laughed together like a creature that had lost its mind. Their laughter resounded throughout the entire special domain.
Satisfied with laughing, the lightning dragons spoke first before they carried out the supposed ascension process.
"Man, why do you need power when you have immortality? Is not living quietly, without being involved in the process of destiny also a comfortable way of life?"
"If only the second option you suggest can make the people around me can live comfortably, maybe I have done it since long ago. Merely, the impending threat will know nothing but the strength necessary to stop it."
"Hasn't the ownership of the heavens of this world changed, why still insist that they aren't good people?"
"Dragon of lightning, I will ask you seriously. The victor of the final battle, were they honest parties or full of liars?"
There was a pause for a moment, before the lightning dragon gave its answer. He glanced at the body essence belonging to Yan Xu and finally realized, that there was something different about the man. Sighing in a small breath, the lightning dragon's eyes narrowed like they were looking into events far from the present.
"They ... Filled with liars though not all."
"What makes you think so, Lightning Dragon?" yan Xu asked looking up towards the lightning dragon.
"Because ... The Saint who was an old friend of mine, died as a result of their ruse. Before his death, he had made the entire world as well as some of the closest people forget many things about him. Forgetting someone you shouldn't forget, do you know how I feel about this, Human?"
"Losing a friend you don't even remember. Will you be disappointed in him?"
"Loved? Of course I feel that way because he left everyone behind and erased their memories for no apparent reason. If I could, I hope he takes me into the pit of hell instead of having to live quietly giving the ascension test to cultivators of the various races of the world."
"Your friendship looks so close that I'm nauseous to hear it" Yan Xu said truthfully.
"Rather than friendship, perhaps you would rather just consider the relationship between Master and his mount. When I first met you, I felt a slight similarity in one of the souls in your body. I don't know if his soul has been reincarnated and mixed by some other sinner's soul, or how, but there's something you should know, Human!"
A picture began to be imprinted in Yan Xu's mind, it was a modified reincarnation formula.
"Birth by bringing together different pieces of the soul, will someday make you have to choose! Destiny, relationships, vengeance, the characteristics of all souls must be determined to be one individual!"
"If you don't prepare yourself .." the lightning dragon showed a crooked smile then said, "They will swallow you."
The lightning dragon gave a warning because the small shard of memory he had said that there was one person who would carry the destiny of all of them. That person would choose which path the Xuanyuan realm should take because he was an absolute guard. However, different from his old comrade who looked expressionless, the lightning dragon saw Yan Xu full of colors and emotions that he could show to anyone.
The lightning dragon did not want to take the assumption that the memories had a high true percentage, only that he wanted once more to have hope. A hope that was lost because he could no longer remember what an old friend looked like, someone he followed and acknowledged as his master. If only, it was true that that person had reincarnated into someone else, he promised to follow the reincarnation of his old friend and would not be deceived again.
The sorrowful wail that looked to the far away from the lightning dragon, made Yan Xu frown. He did not have time to listen to the curses of the old dragon manifestation. If he could, he wanted to immediately forge his golden core using the lightning from the old dragon's body and go on a journey to the Underworld Road Intersection.
However, he once again thought with the intention of those who would swallow him. If the old dragon's words were true, it meant that he was indeed in danger and had to become stronger quickly. Merely, there were some differences between the understanding he had with the lightning dragon.
Yan Xu examined the reincarnation formula he had just seen and before long, he summoned a lightning dragon with a cold voice.
"What?"
"The "reincarnation formula you have, is incomplete and has too many defects. If you can see the soul inside my body, who do you think is in this body?" Yan Xu pressed down on his body with his hands.
"No, I can't. I can only feel there are different souls, but not by numbers" replied the lightning dragon.
Finding himself thinking too much, Yan Xu rubbed the sweat on his face and said, "It seems like our conversation should end soon."
The body of the lightning dragon had now lost form and only left behind the lightning that would be used to forge Yan Xu's golden core.
Sensing the time was near, the lightning dragon roared once and Yan Xu's left arm had the same light as the color of the heavenly tribulation lightning. Shortly after, there was a heavenly tribulation lightning dragon symbol.
"What's this?" asked Yan Xu.
"Confession mark. When you're at the top, we'll talk back. If the threat you say is true, the sign will be a symbol of the bond between us. In other words, you can call out to me even if it's still impossible for your current cultivation level."
"Are you willing to be my mount?" Yan Xu's eyes shone brightly as he stared at the lightning dragon that was about to disappear.
"YOUR MOTHER'S PRICE!—"
The lightning dragon instantly disappeared before it could complete its absorption vow to the savage man.
The dragon race had high self-pride, admitting someone as its master was impossible. However, the sign he said was a symbol of an admission that he recognized Yan Xu as—
"There's something strange about this symbol!"
Yan Xu's eyelids opened wide when he saw the shape of a lightning dragon surrounding a circular pattern.
"A circle surrounded, it's like putting a ring on your partner's ring finger!"
"Damn it!"
Yan Xu threw his golden core furiously towards the heavenly tribulation lightning from the rest of the manifestations.
He scratched his head a few times while stomping his feet against the ground until the surface shattered.
"Damn it! Goddamnit! Damn IT!— IT TURNED OUT THAT THE OLD DRAGON WAS A WOMAN AND SHE HAD LEFT A PARTNER SYMBOL ON ME!"
He has been deceived!
Feeling so angry that his face was flushed red and wanting to spit out a mouthful of fresh blood, Yan Xu almost lost the strength to breathe in annoyance.
Thump!
Yan Xu knelt on the shattered ground with tears breaking in his eyes.
"Destroyed already ... I ... Can't go back to normal ... They will definitely laugh at me after coming back later — hicks!"
This time, he was actually made to cry bitterly for having fallen into the trick of a cunning old snake.
While Yan Xu wept over the couple symbol on his left arm. The golden core that should have made him happy to have been forged, was now no longer of interest to him.
It took Yan Xu several tens of minutes to calm himself from his slump. He had already thrown away that frustration for the foreseeable future and made a face as if nothing had happened.
Nothing really happened, only that he felt his maleness had been humiliated by an old dragon who liked a young looking man.
