CHAPTER 34 TECHNIQUE

"WHAT!!!!!!" Everyone in the room, including Shadow, was stupefied.

"But if I am just a town chief, just like you, why do you want to be under me?"

"Because in our desperate time, it was you who came and gave us hope, and I know that I speak for everybody here that you are much more reliable than the City Lord of Dragon City".

After hearing what he said, everybody nodded.

"And that's not all. This isn't the first time a village or a town was massacred in Dragon City. There is always news about a beast destroying a village or a town. Now that what you said enlightened me, this is Dragon City. Why does the City Lord just let those beasts run amok? Now I get it; they were actually their pets."

Shadow listens to his story; now he understands that the City Lord family was actually doing this kind of thing since it was just a town.

"Okay, I will take you all to be my subordinates, but you need to swear loyalty to me." All of them nodded and agreed to Shadow's request.

"Drake, you know if they will come with me, they can, but you cannot be a subordinate town chief; you have already sworn loyalty to Dragon City."

"I know that is why I am ready to die. I want my granddaughter to be the next town chief."

Shadow nodded but still looked at Drake, full of sympathy. To take a subordinate village or town orb, there are two conditions: they need the permission of the chief and for the chief to die.

'SYSTEM, is there any other method to take the orb without killing Drake? '

(There is one: to erase every possible spiritual energy from him, but the drawback is that all of his cultivation will disappear and he cannot cultivate again in the future.)

Shadow got a complicated expression but still told Drake about the information. Hearing what Shadow said, Drake just shook his head and said, "Is there any method to transfer my life essence to Annie?"

Shadow asks the System

There is a way the receiver must be related to the giver, and the giver must be the one initiating the process.

Warning: This can only be done by those that have beast bloodline.

Shadow then told Drake about the method. What he said put a smile on Drake's face.

"Everyone, please listen to the Shadow-san order from now on and take care of my darling little granddaughter."

The townspeople were silent, some showed complicated expressions, and some were crying.

"Listen," Shadow suddenly yelled.

All of the people in the room look at him.

"Me and Drake will kill the Dragon Salamander and will use it as a sacrifice to strengthen Annie. I have a Portal Orb, so I will be teleporting all of you, so do what you want to do for the time being. This is maybe the last time you will see this place, so if you want to say goodbye, do it now."

All the townspeople nodded and left, leaving only Drake and Shadow in the room.

"Shadow-san, what do you mean that you will use the Dragon Salamander as a sacrifice?"

"Your bloodline complements the bloodline of the Dragon Salamander; likewise, it can also enhance your bloodline."

Drake nodded, and there seemed to be a fire in his eyes. He was thinking, 'That damn beast will get its just dessert eating my people. To strengthen yourself, we will also use you to strengthen my dear Annie'.

Shadow told Drake to be ready and told Annie to be prepared; he would go back to his town to call his helper.

Shadow then left; he was planning to bring Thunder and Lou Yan with him.

Shadow then teleported to Eligan Town, where he told a lizardman to call Thunder while he went to the military campground.

When he arrived there, he saw many soldiers training themselves with their contracted beasts while other races were competing with each other.

Shadow then goes to the general office. He sees Lou Yan sitting on Tank's back. It seems he is cultivating. Shadow smiles. He always knows that the three of them—Lou Yan, Ban, and him—are best friends, but they are also rivals. Looking at how serious he is, Shadow scans his progress.

Shadow nodded. 'As expected of Lou Yan, his improvement was surely great.

"Lou Yan"

Lou Yan opened his eye, then he saw Shadow. "Shadow, I got great news."

"I know Tank evolved, didn't he?"

"No, that's not it. My spiritual space expanded, and I can now contract another beast."

"What! Really?" Shadow was stunned and asked Lou Yan in an excited manner. Lou Yan nodded repeatedly.

'SYSTEM, how did Drake gain this ability? '

(Because of the Spiritual Energy Assimilation Technique and the Beast Guiding Technique, if their contracted beast evolves, they will gain additional energy from the process, and with the Energy Assimilation Technique, the energy is assimilated in the body. Not only has his spiritual energy increased, his entire being has been enhanced; it can also increase the chance of breaking through the Xiantian realm.)

Shadow was enlightened and was very agitated with the techniques he acquired from the system; his domain will definitely become one of the strongest kingdoms ever built.
