Chapter 646: Assisting My Cultivation

"Little Blue!!!"

Buwa Luo let out a loud wail.

Little Blue's body was now half-covered by the sky-filling frost; a bloody, ragged wound had burst open on its lower jaw, clearly revealing cracked bones within.

To enslave the blue dragon before him, he had poured immense effort into succeeding.

Not only did he hope it would help him survive this trial, but he also wanted to rely on it to make Medlin change her opinion of him, thus ascending to the peak of life!

The brown wooden staff, its incantation complete, emitted a glow of magic.

【Purifying Flame】!

Little Blue's body seemed to become flammable material soaked in gasoline, igniting from the crown of its head and rapidly spreading across its entire form.

The suddenly erupting flames formed a deflagration; a powerful shockwave created a translucent red air wave that rushed outward at high speed.

It not only melted the frost on its body but also blasted away the man hovering in midair, whose mere approach caused panic.

Rod adjusted his posture midair and landed steadily.

Glancing at his forearm, now wrapped in black fluid metal by the slime Xiao Hei and stained with dragon blood.

At this moment, Xiao Hei extended tiny hands, emitting an emotion of longing toward the dragon blood.

"Eat, it's for you."

Xiao Hei immediately raised its round, fingerless hands high, cheering with joy.

【Xiao Hei, your Loyalty +1, current Loyalty: 47】

Due to her low intelligence, Xiao Hei's Loyalty always increased very slowly, most of the time adding just one point at a time.

It was strange, really.

Though she possessed 【Beginner Luck】, she couldn't even grind up 【Beginner Intelligence】 when training her skills.

Or perhaps, for her, she simply didn't want intelligence; after all, with Rod raising her, eating until full and then sleeping was enough.

"Move back, Rod."

The Star Spirit Hai Li shouted.

Magic surged on her body, rising steadily.

In an instant, an unnatural magic dark cloud rose above the forest, pressing extremely low.

The air did not smell of pure water vapor, but of pungent acidity.

Patter-patter—

Heavy rain poured down.

In the form of columnar zones, wisps of green smoke carrying strong acid rushed straight onto the blue dragon under 【Purifying Flame】 and the Star Spirit Buwa Luo.

【Acid Rain Storm】.

The flames struggled and were extinguished, sizzling as they emitted corrosive green smoke.

However, for an adult blue dragon, this level of strong acid was insufficient to harm it; at most, it would slightly soften the strength of its scales.

Its eyes, like yellow amber, held both resentment and fear, constantly staring at Rod on the ground.

A fist that exploded the dragon scales on its lower jaw.

This person was the true threat.

Moreover, the dragon's instinct told it that this person was wrapped in thick dragon resentment, having killed at least over 100 dragons! (Actually not; it was the dragon resentment inherent in 【Yulia's Blood Explosion】.)

Although being controlled by a Star Spirit was an utter disgrace for a dragon, it did not want to die even more.

It immediately chose to transmit a voice message to Buwa Luo.

"Leave?! No way! If Medlin finds out I was driven away by this guy, how will she ever look at me again?"

Buwa Luo immediately gave a response.

He was in a predicament; cold sweat slightly beaded on his forehead, and the smile on his face had already frozen.

The thought of "crashing" flashed through his mind from time to time.

He could not fail to see Rod's strength, but he wanted even more to believe this was merely a temporary boost from the opponent.

Relying solely on physical strength, how could a human of the same rank possibly compare to a dragon?

"Hehehe, Hai Li, what a clever move. This Mr. is your assistance contract partner, isn't he? How long can he help you?"

Buwa Luo, emboldened by his position, sneered proudly: "Enough nonsense! If you dare not fight, get lost! Shall I tell Medlin properly about your current state?"

"You!"

Buwa Luo roared, "Little Blue!!"

The blue dragon let out a low growl of indignation and dissatisfaction.

Tiny blue-white electric arcs burst forth from the gaps between its scales, crackling loudly.

Starting from its spine, a blinding, scorching white light flared upward.

Even the surrounding scenery distorted from the intense heat, like a thunderstorm compressed to its extreme, layer upon layer rising upward, then reaching deep into its throat.

A breath attack?

Hai Li's expression became Ning Zhong.

"Rod!"

The already prepared 【Energy Resistance】 and 【Damage Protection】 were immediately cast onto him.

Both of these could increase the target's resistance to a certain element.

"Enough! Catch her!"

Rod retracted Xiao Hei's metal form and, with a plop, flung her onto Hai Li.

He missed.

Xiao Hei plopped straight onto the Young Lady Star Spirit's chest; duang! Both highly elastic bodies wobbled for quite a while.

Little Black was clingy, thinking Rod was going to abandon her.

Ignoring the storm of lightning in the giant dragon's mouth, she hurriedly tried to climb back onto Rod's body.

Fortunately, Haley caught her in her arms.

This creature had very weak lightning resistance; last time she fought that Cardinal, clinging to Rod, she had been electrocuted badly.

At the same time.

Blue-white lightning flashed on Rod's body.

【Thunder-Struck Sinews】!

"Blue Dragon, I want you to aid my cultivation! Hahaha—"

The Blue Dragon suddenly lowered its head, jaws wide open, and a blinding torrent of lightning erupted from its mouth!

It was not simple electric current, but Lei Ting condensed into liquid form.

Rod did not dodge or evade; dragging the Lei Guang, he flashed forward and crashed into the Lei Ting.

The exploding plasma swept across more than half the battlefield like a giant wave!

Boom!!!

"Seeking your own death!" Boulo laughed loudly.

The shockwave of the explosion immediately threw Rod's entire body flying; the remaining ice layer vaporized into white mist under the high temperature.

Rod slid several meters upon landing, his whole body clearly charred black, with electric snakes still flickering on him.

As the white mist cleared, the Blue Dragon slowly closed its lower jaw, the Lei Guang in its throat not yet fully extinguished.

Although fear lingered in its heart, it still looked down on the human with disdain.

A giant dragon's pride could not be lost.

"Good chance! Little Blue! Finish him!"

"Rod!"

Haley hurriedly cast a spell, but obviously not faster than the giant dragon right at hand.

Zzzzt—

Before the massive dragon claw could fall, a flash of Lei Guang spiraled upward along the giant dragon's forearm in an instant.

In the next moment, a huge amount of dragon blood gushed out from where the Lei Guang had passed.

The Blue Dragon threw its head back and roared in pain.

"Little Blue!?"

Boulo looked and saw the dragon scales on the giant dragon's forearm flipped backward, already a mess of flesh and blood.

"How is this possible! Blue Dragons are immune to lightning!"

Pzzzt—

Rod, his whole body crackling with electric arcs, appeared before him in an instant, his right hand clutching a large handful of broken dragon scales.

"Dragon scales, after all, can be forcibly picked off."

"Wha—"

Before he could finish, the hand glowing with blue-white lightning had already choked his neck.

"I-I surrender!"

"I do not accept."

Rod smiled wickedly as the 【Aura of Fear】 surged onto the face of the Star Spirit human right before him.

"No! No no no!!!"

Boulo screamed in terror; he saw killing intent as solid as matter in the man's eyes.

There was no need to doubt; the man had once slaughtered countless sentient beings, truly a killing star!

Intense terror and fear of death assaulted his brain.

With a "Gah," Boulo's eyes rolled back, and he completely fainted.
