The origin of the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon is gradually recovering. At this moment, the Hellish Evil Dragon knows that its plan to occupy the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon’s body and carry out a soul transfer has completely failed. It is no longer able to contend with the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon. If it doesn’t want to die, it must find another way out. Otherwise, it will be like a frog boiled in warm water, continuously weakened by the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon. Perhaps in the end, it will be devoured by the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon, transforming into Dragon Origin to make up for the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon’s losses. The appearance of the Demon Dragon Egg seems more like a lifeline, deeply attracting the Hellish Evil Dragon. Could this be a trap, just to lure it to rush out of the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon’s body? After all, this Demon Dragon Egg is like a flickering candle in the wind. As long as it possesses it, it will transform from a Hellish Evil Dragon into a Hell Demon Dragon. Just by changing one word, the meaning becomes different. The sub-body of the Hellish Evil Dragon could barely reach Tier Eight, but if it encountered the main body, it would be manipulated by it and ultimately merge with it. After all, the Hellish Evil Dragon disperses its evil qi to gather energy for advancement. Every mature sub-body, in the eyes of the Hellish Evil Dragon’s main body, is like a walking leek. While a Hell Demon Dragon in adulthood is a Tier Nine Exotic Beast, more terrifying in strength, and if it occupies the soul of the Demon Dragon Egg, it can erase the imprint the Hellish Evil Dragon left on its soul. It can also transform into a young demon dragon. Every time the Hellish Evil Dragon’s main body creates evil qi, it forms an independent sub-body. They have their own thoughts and develop in ways most beneficial to themselves. To remain in the body of the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon is just death. To rush out provides at least one chance to live. This is a straightforwardly bold strategy, but the Hellish Evil Dragon has no choice but to step forward. Even if it is enslaved by humans, it’s better than serving as a sub-body of the Hellish Evil Dragon, living a precarious life like a big leek. Finally, the evil qi of the Hellish Evil Dragon made its decision. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✶𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✶𝓷𝓮𝓽 Go for it, the villa by the sea awaits. Thus, the evil qi inside the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon rushed into the Demon Dragon Egg like thunder. The original Demon Dragon Egg was in a half-alive, half-dead state. As the Hellish Evil Dragon’s evil qi poured into the Demon Dragon Egg. Initially, only slight, almost imperceptible sounds could be heard, as if something inside the egg was slowly writhing. These subtle movements gradually gathered into a formidable force, heralding the revival of the Demon Dragon Egg. A massive black light erupted from the Demon Dragon Egg, these rays shone through the cracks in the eggshell, and the Demon Dragon Egg began beating like a heart. This symbolized that the Demon Dragon Egg had fully revived. The Hellish Evil Dragon easily devoured the feeble soul of the Demon Dragon Egg, using the soul imprint of the Demon Dragon Egg to erase the mark left by the main body on its soul. Ye Bai finally breathed a sigh of relief. This surgery had given him immense pressure, but fortunately, it was all successful. Master Jiang knew the key to the surgery was the separation of the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon and the Glaze Dragon Egg. As a result, Ye Bai took an unconventional approach, using the special abilities of the Sunflower Emperor to complete the separation surgery. This entire process can be called a classic that will be passed down through generations. As for the repair surgery of the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon, it was merely a time-consuming procedure without much difficulty in Master Jiang’s eyes. The Demon Dragon Egg was sealed by Paper Puppet using a barrier, and how to deal with this Demon Dragon Egg was something to be discussed later. "The surgery was very successful." Ye Bai’s words made Dragon Pillar relax immediately. The originally tense spirit loosened, and Dragon Pillar promptly sat on the sofa. He fell into a deep sleep, loud snores emanating from Dragon Pillar’s nose. "Let him rest first. When he sees the bill, he might not sleep at all." "Of course, we also accept barter. Sitting at Dragon Pillar’s position, don’t underestimate them." "When they explore the Secret Realm, they collect many treasures." "Their kindness alone can provide us with significant help." "Don’t fear they can’t pay, let’s go and exchange some views on the Flame Country Tournament, Young Qilin Cup matters." Master Jiang and Ye Bai walked into the tea room. Paper Puppet released countless barriers, blocking the conversation between Master Jiang and Ye Bai. "This year’s Flame Country Tournament Young Qilin Cup is extraordinary." "This year’s Flame Country Tournament Young Qilin Cup final will be held together with the Phoenix Cup final." His eyes fixed on Master Jiang, and Ye Bai felt his brain wasn’t turning properly. Hold the Flame Country Tournament Young Qilin Cup and Phoenix Cup together? "Do you think I’m joking?" "But I’m telling you clearly, I’m not joking because this is real." "The Young Qilin Cup preliminaries will test various potion refining and Pet Beast healing." "And in the finals, you will be automatically assigned a contestant to enter a Secret Realm together." "You need to collect a lot of materials in the Secret Realm and help the Phoenix Cup contestant heal their Pet Beast." Ye Bai listened to Master Jiang’s words, feeling quite fantastical. "Do you feel that these two kinds of competitions have always been separate in previous years, and why are they merged this year?" "Because the Beast Tide has erupted more and more frequently this year." "The upper echelon of Flame Country plans to establish a specialized medical squad." "Every breeder in Flame Country must go to the border for rotation." "That’s why the upper echelon suggested combining this time’s Young Qilin Cup and Phoenix Cup as a pilot for reform." "The top ten of this year’s Young Qilin Cup and Phoenix Cup will be allowed special admission into Imperial University." "Compared to college entrance exams, this is the shortcut into Imperial University." Master Jiang directly dropped a bombshell. "But I can tell you, the contestants in this year’s Phoenix Cup are not weak." "As for other matters, I can’t say too much because of confidentiality clauses." Ye Bai is somewhat torn now; since there’s special admission available, should he still participate in the entrance exams? After all, every high school student has feelings about the entrance exam. Becoming the top scorer in the entrance exam is extremely impressive, a triumph that even one’s ancestors would celebrate. "Ye Bai, there’s something I need to tell you." "Feelings are one thing, but only a fool wouldn’t take the shortcut." "When a tree stands out in the forest, the wind will destroy it." "Currently, the most important thing for you is to stay humble, humble, and damned humble." "Otherwise, the Resurrection Association and Evangelical Association are not to be trifled with." "Don’t think they won’t dare to act because you’re hiding in Imperial University." Master Jiang specifically advised Ye Bai. "Do you know why I insisted on accepting the surgery for the Dragon Pillar, despite knowing the difficulty?" "Because I want the Dragon Pillar to owe us a favor." "In case something really happens, he can help." "Every member of the Twelve Pillars of the Country is not simple." Master Jiang remarked with profound significance. Dragon Pillar is sleeping soundly, suddenly feeling a cool chill rushing towards his Celestial Spirit. He suddenly opened his eyes and found the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon guarding him. The wool blanket covering Dragon Pillar was frozen into ice by the cold Qi emitted by the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon. Seeing Dragon Pillar awake, the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon looked at him with its deep, sapphire eyes and wagged its largest tail, signifying its recovery. Countless papermen overlapped, forming the shape of a Paper Puppet. Like a fairy from a painting, with subtle makeup, always appropriate. Her face is like exquisite white jade, emitting a faint white glow. A well-tailored cheongsam further accentuates the Paper Puppet’s fine figure. Her cheongsam is embroidered with bright red peony patterns, and her long black hair, like a waterfall, is pinned with a hairpin made of white jade. Paper Puppet brought a thick stack of bills to Dragon Pillar: "Lord Dragon Pillar, since your Cold Ice Glaze Dragon has recovered, let’s settle the treatment costs." A gleam flashed in Paper Puppet’s eyes, the moment of hunting has arrived! Seeing the thick stack of bills suddenly appear, Dragon Pillar couldn’t help but hold his breath, a tension and unease indescribably intertwined in his heart. His hands trembled as he received the bills, flipping to the last page, the number there nearly stopped his heart, he gasped sharply, his brows furrowed into the shape of an inverted V. Dragon Pillar’s calloused fingertips lightly slid across the string of shocking numbers. His eyes widened instantly, pupils dilated rapidly, his complexion turned pale at once, lips slightly trembling, wanting to say something but temporarily speechless. Beads of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead, his gaze began to wander, breathing became rapid and irregular, as if a heavy stone pressed upon his chest, making it hard to breathe. He tried to calm his inner turmoil by licking his dry lips, rubbing his temples, or taking deep breaths, but he failed. Before coming here, Dragon Pillar was told that Old Jiang’s fees are extremely high, but he didn’t expect them to be so exorbitant. Would he have to eat thirty years of bread and chaff? The Cold Ice Glaze Dragon glanced curiously at the number, its pupils contracted violently, its feelings at that moment were like stormy waves. This is a sky-high price that can’t be repaid even if it sold itself. Greatly shocked, the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon rolled its eyes and fell heavily to the ground. "Of course, you can also accept installments or barter." Paper Puppet’s voice sounded like heavenly music to Dragon Pillar’s ears. He looked gratefully at Paper Puppet. It’s relatively good news; at least his savings could be preserved. "We will evaluate according to market prices." Dragon Pillar put out all the treasures from his Pet Beast Space. Like an appraisal expert, Paper Puppet carefully examined all the treasures that passed through its hands. Indeed, Dragon Pillar has considerable wealth. But he also has a large family to support, some things cannot be sold. Calculating the final amount, he still owes Celestial Gate a large debt. "Well, I’ve discussed with Master Jiang to waive some of your treatment fees." "The remaining debt will be converted into three favors."
