Chapter 731

(Unedited)

…

Crash!

A loud sound of something breaking reverberated through the air as a figure floated with a wide grin on his face. The dragonkin looks at the town below and his eyes scanned the whole area. High lord Ryujin and the other lords from the town floated in the air as they face the dragonkin.

"Dragonkin… why have you infiltrated our lands… We human may be weak, but we would not stand this insult." Ryujin Osmond said with a frown and a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

The dragonkin just looks at the people in front of him and did not bother answering. After a while of scanning, he suddenly noticed a particular location in the town and directly flew there.

"Wait!" Ryujin Osmond knew that this dragonkin wanted from the direction he is flying.

"You wanted the spear, right?" Ryujin said with a frown.

The dragonkin looks at Ryujin and nodded his head.

"I am willing to give it as a gift. But in turn could you please help us for 1 day. That is my request."

The dragonkin thought for a while and looks at Ryujin Osmond.

"Why would I help you, lowly humans? I can just take that spear and leave this place with ease…"

"Haha… I am no pushover, you know. If I wanted to, I could fight you to the death."

Feeling the sudden rise in Ryujin's aura, the dragonkin was a bit taken aback. It knew that outside of this place there are also high lords from the High Elves and the Zith'ra races. If he fought a hard fight with the human, he might not be able to escape those two high lords.

This is because he suddenly feels that the high lord from the human clan seems to be more powerful than the other high lords from the two races outside.

"Hmm… Alright, for just a day… I will offer my help. In turn, I want to have the spear the divine spear."

Ryujin heaves a sigh of relief as he leads the dragonkin inside the middle area of the town.

Everyone also heaves a sigh of relief as they knew that the town was able to be safe because of this condition. Although they lost the divine spear, with the protection of another high lord from the dragonkin, the town would surely be able to withstand the onslaught from the entrapment barrier.

After the dragon was able to enter the middle area of the town, Ryujin led him to the barrier. As the dragonkin saw the spear, his eyes could not help but glow in delight. He has truly hit a jackpot. When he felt the two auras coming from this direction a few days ago, he knew that the humans were able to create such a magnificent weapon.

And now that he had seen it, he truly wanted to have it for himself.

But as a dragon who keeps his word, he decided to help the humans for a day.

"My name is Ryujin Osmond, what might this high lord name be?" Ryujin asked in politeness.

"I am Grukal from the Red Scaled Dragon clan of the Titan dragon race…"

Upon hearing the reply of the dragonkin, everyone was dumbfounded. They did not expect that such a being would appear in the human territory.

It is said that the titan red-scaled dragons are considered the second most powerful dragon race. They are second only to the golden scaled dragons and above the black scaled dragons. Their prowess excels in flame type Dao which covers different levels of flames.

The red-scaled dragon clan of the titan dragon race is always domineering and no other race would dare confront them except for the Gigantus race or the titans.

But of course, since this dragonkin appears in this place, this only means one thing. This dragonkin is on a journey of self-strengthening and gaining experience. And because of this no one would dare step forward and become its experience.

And with the presence of the dragonkin, the war seems to be in a stalemate as the combined High Elves and Zith'ra clan also dare not make their move. They didn't want to annoy such a being, if not then if that thing transforms into a dragon, then there is a possibility that their army would be wiped out.

And so for a day, the barrier was once again set up and the attacks from the entrapment barrier stopped.

While the tension subsided, Ryujin Osmond suddenly heard a piece of great news. He is expecting that it would take another day before the plan to breach the barrier would be finished. However, he soon heard from his communication device that it was all done and ready.

After hearing the instruction, the dragonkin on his side looks at Ryujin with glowing eyes. He heard the voice saying about a barrier breach and how to enter it. What made Grukal interested is how the voice was transmitted to Ryujin without any universal energy wave.

If he was a bit far from Ryujin, he would not have heard it, but luckily he is near, in that way he is able to hear the report.

"What is that?" he asked with a curious gaze while looking at the small earpiece on Ryujin's ear.

"Oh, this…" Ryujin carefully takes out the earpiece and showed it to Grukal.

"This is a new trial technology developed in the town by a young human."

Grukal nodded his head in realization. He heard that humans and some other race are proficient in crafting. And upon seeing the small thing that is able to do such an amazing feat, he was felt interested.

"Can this enable communication anywhere?" Grukal asked as he carefully takes the earpiece from Ryujin and inspects it.

"Nah… it's only effective within 15 kilometers in radius. But this is just a prototype, the first of its kind in this town, so who knows, right?"

The two chatted while laughing.

…

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao has now appeared inside the underground facility and meets with the people from the blacksmith workshop.

After greeting everyone he immediately went to his room and began to meditate. This is the safest place for him to do this as he could feel that his body and dantian is about to break through to the next level.

And soon, he began spreading the energy core on the ground, and sitting in a cross leg, he began absorbing the energy around him.

Shin Jiao's body acted like a vacuum as he sucks in a large amount of the universe's energy. Soon he heard a faint sound of something breaking, then he opens his closed eyes slowly as a faint golden glow appears on them.

"75th sphere… I have now formed my 75th sphere…" he muttered in happiness.

As Shin Jiao feels happy, he noticed that jumping from 74th to 75th spheres is actually not that simple. He is now in the middle tier World nascent realm or a golden armor protector. With this power, he would easily increase towards the 79th sphere with a breeze.

But of course, breaking the 79th sphere's bottleneck would once again take some time just like what he experienced from 74th to 75th spheres.

As Shin Jiao marveled at the increase of his strength, he soon heard a voice from the earpiece on the table.

"This is Si Ji…"

'Ah, Young Si Ji, this is High Lord Ryujin… I would like to extend my thanks for what you have done. We were able to drive off the surrounding army of the enemy… we will now be preparing to assist the fortress… would you like to join us?'

"Hmm… I would be a bit busy cleaning up and preparing the store, I am sorry…"

'Haha… No worries, we can handle everything from here. You've done us a great service already… see you after this battle then.'

"Yes, my lord… Good luck."

After the call was cut-off, Shin Jiao showed an astonished expression on his face. He did not expect that the enemy army would fall that easily.

As he wonders, he walks out of the room and saw Eva Jung busily preparing some food.

"Oh, Master Si Ji! You've come out at last…" she beamed with joy.

"You seem happy, how long was I out?"

"Hmm… more than 3 days…"

Upon hearing her words, Shin Jiao was dumbfounded. He did not expect that his breakthrough this time took him 3 days. Then he realized that the battle actually took a bit longer.

After that, he ate with the Jungs and Alea Zin.

Shin Jiao discover that Alea Zin also broke through to level 79 and this made him feel shocked. She actually made it to that level in just a few days; he could not think how hard she worked for that breakthrough.

When Shin Jiao was looking at the non-stop manufacturing of trinkets, weapons, and armors, a smile crept on his face.

Alea Zin suddenly walks behind him.

"Umm… Master Ji… I… I have to let you know something." she said with a sad expression on her face.

"What seems to be the problem?"

"Sigh… I didn't want it to happen, but it happened while you were breaking through. I broke through a day earlier than you. But the aura I produced in that breakthrough was really powerful that I decided to go out. This is so that I won't hurt anyone in here…"

"But… I was discovered by High Lord Ryujin Osmond. He also commanded me to return to the Osmond clan, if not… my family… and… and the people with me… he… said that the Osmond clan would sentence everyone of abduction…" Alea Zin said with tears in her eyes.

Upon hearing her words, Shin Jiao feel a bit helpless. He knew that this day would come and that she would soon face reality. But how could they face against a high lord of the powerful Osmond clan?
