Chapter 879: Chapter 873: Like a Child
“Should I just give up?”
Under the stifling Domination, Kenneth Blarice’s originally tall and straight figure became hunched over, his breathing becoming exceedingly difficult.
Kneel!
Kneel, and you’ll be free!
Kneel, and you won’t have to feel this boundless terror and despair anymore!
“I can’t accept this.”
Kenneth Blarice bit through his lip, the taste of iron and bitterness surging within his heart.
The reason for his unwillingness was simple.
As the director of the Beastmaster Department at Aurora Academy and the number one Beast Tamer of Cascade City in Gleam Province, he had looked down upon many of the Beast Master’s Pride List and achieved the rank of Elite Trainer by the age of twenty.
Eight years later, he had become a King, and at sixty-nine, he refreshed the records of Gleam Province by becoming the youngest Epic Beast Tamer in provincial history, and even broke records at four hundred eighty-eight to attain the status of a Class VIII Legendary Beast Tamer.
To this very day, when looking across the entire Beast Master World of Gleam Province, aside from the long-absent Dean of the Aurora Academy and those at the pinnacle of Beast Mastery, Deity-class powerhouses, Kenneth dared to call himself second, and no one dared to claim they were first.
Even when facing the imposing Deity Pratt Goldsmith of Peony College, Kenneth had the confidence to contend with him and determine who was superior. How could he allow a junior to completely disregard him?
“Bond Charge Attack: Light-Shadow Sword!”

As Kenneth roared, the sound of his bones shattering echoed inside him, and his curved figure slowly straightened.
“Creak, creak!”
Kenneth clenched his teeth, resolve shining in his eyes, paying no heed to the copious amounts of blood seeping from his skin.
Feeling the Trainer’s fighting spirit, the Phantom Flutter Butterfly spread its wings, with thousands of flowing, shimmering lights circulating around it.
As the Phantom Flutter Butterfly’s wings flapped gently, endless streams of light split yin from yang, manifesting behind it as a realm half filled with light and half with darkness.
Boom!
The moment Bond Coordination was achieved, the Phantom Flutter Butterfly’s illusory body began to change drastically, turning into a sword with a pitch-black blade, while its manifested Zone turned into a dazzling hilt.
Soon, a Light-Shadow Sword that could exorcise demons and break evil, containing the enigmatic power of the universe, was born.
The soaring sword intent caused the heavens and the earth to change color, the winds and clouds to transform, and at that moment, an immense, unyielding spirit forcibly broke through Lolo’s Domination lock.
The next instant, Kenneth took hold of the Light-Shadow Sword, his Arcane Force pouring into it wildly, and then he waved it towards David Jones with such a light swing that could pierce through heaven and earth, transforming the dark slash into a roaring Black Dragon.
“Kenneth has finally gotten serious!” Philip Wade’s eyes narrowed.
This dark slash might seem unremarkable at first glance, but it possessed the might to instantly kill an upper-level Class VIII Emperor. Even a Deity-class Pet would have to handle it with caution, lest it suffer grave injuries.
Years ago, it was with this Charge Attack of the Sword that Kenneth managed to hold out for dozens of rounds against a Deity-class powerhouse.
As strong as David Jones may be, he would likely need to prepare seriously in the face of this strike.
At this moment, there were many Legendary Beast Tamers sharing Philip Wade’s thoughts, all of whom turned their gaze towards David Jones, curious to see if he could still maintain his earlier arrogant posture.
What they saw was that David Jones’s silhouette remained unchanged, not even halting his steps.
“Tap.”
“Tap.”
“Tap.”
As David Jones arrived in front of the Spatial passageway, the deadly strike unleashed by Kenneth and his pet Phantom Flutter Butterfly also reached its target.
“Tweet!”
Lolo brought out a radish and probed forward.
To the shock of onlookers, as the radish emitted a purple glow swallowing up the formidable roaring Black Dragon, it was drawn into the radish bit by bit until not even a small ripple was caused.
This familiar scene made the faces of the Beast Tamers in the audience grow somber, their pupils contracting, and even the looks they cast towards Kenneth contained a tinge of pity and regret.
It wasn’t that Kenneth Blarice’s strength wasn’t strong enough; if he asked himself honestly, almost none of the legendary fighters present had the confidence to take on a strike from the Light-Shadow Sword.
It was simply that David Jones’ pet was too powerful, and the two were not on the same level of existence.
“No, this can’t be possible!”
Kenneth’s hand, clutching the Light-Shadow Sword, trembled slightly, seemingly unable to accept the reality before him.
“Had enough fun yet?”
Before stepping into the space portal, David Jones slowly turned his head and glanced at Kenneth.
At the same time, Lolo’s small hands came together gently, and the Return to Chaos skill activated.
“Pfft.”
Kenneth, as if struck by a heavy blow, spat out blood and collapsed to the ground.
However, he had no time to care about his injuries, staring blankly at the broken Light-Shadow Sword in his hand.
“So confident all my life yet unable to block even a single strike from David, it turns out I’m just mediocre after all!”
Kenneth’s eyes lost their luster, and his consciousness gradually slipped into unconsciousness.
“Alright, just a little punishment will do.”
David stroked Lolo’s head and disappeared into the space portal under the awed gazes of the crowd.
Seeing this, Philip Wade quickly stepped forward to feed Kenneth and the Phantom Flutter Butterfly a recovery elixir.
After a while, he looked at the distraught Kenneth and said, “Was it worth it?”
“There’s nothing about worthiness; I have no regrets,” Kenneth held the unconscious Phantom Flutter Butterfly and stared blankly into the distance.
He did not regret challenging David.
Risk and reward are equivalent; there are no free lunches in this world.
No matter what, he was still a legendary deity with high authority. As long as he made no principled mistakes, even if Rosewood College wanted to do something, they could at most remove him as the Dean of Aurora Academy, at worst make an enemy of David.
But if he could win this spar, he could use David’s fame as a stepping stone for himself, and even defeat Pratt Goldsmith with the momentum of besting David, embracing the great destiny and claiming the position of Deity Trainer.
So if he were to truly speak of regret, Kenneth only regretted that his own strength was inadequate; the hundreds of years of arduous cultivation he took pride in seemed childish before David, and he couldn’t even make David take a serious look at him.
…
In the space portal, Rainbow’s eyes were locked onto Lolo.
Defeating an opponent of a higher class as easily as drinking water, and crushing the opponent with overwhelming advantage in an equal class combat—such was the strength of Lolo now.
Today, Lolo’s normal Arcane Force Value was so high that even top-grade Arcane Glasses couldn’t detect it; trying to forcibly detect could either cause malfunction or explosion.
Rainbow had reason to suspect that Lolo had evolved its bloodline to a purity surpassing that of Emperors, nearing that of an Immortal!
Thinking of this, Rainbow suddenly remembered a phrase David had said, “Unless one is able to ignite the divine fire and ascend to Class IX, the offspring of a Class IX Immortal bred Beast’s Species Level can at most be that of an Ultimate Emperor species.” (Note: Except for the Dragon of Domination, which is not well-documented in ancient texts.)
“Yi.” (I must be overthinking it.)
Rainbow shook its head, quelling the conjectures in its mind.
“Jiuji?” (What’s wrong?)
Lolo turned its head to look at Rainbow.
“Yi.” (It’s nothing.)
Rainbow slowly shifted its gaze away, eyes filled with anticipation.
Whether there are Immortal species Beasts in this world is a matter for another time.
If it could refine the Annihilation Dragon Element eighteen times, could it become a Dragon of Domination that rivals or even surpasses the Seven-colored Primordial Radish?
