A True Dragon Is Born

At the top of Longmen Waterfall, the fish gambling competition was drawing to a close.

First place would be decided at any moment, and first place was extremely important, and not just because of the massive monetary reward.

Every year, the first carp to cross Longmen Waterfall would undergo a powerful Breakthrough and evolve into a terrifying Beast!

And the lucky one who chose that carp would have a chance to contract this Beast!

This was part of the reason why so many people flocked to this event.

Once the koi won first place, it would be able to evolve into a powerful monster pet.

And Li Yi's koi fish already had a complete Breakthrough Fragment attached to it. If it made it past the waterfall now, it would likely evolve into this terrifying form.

At that time, although Liu Cheng was anxious, he was still very confident that first place would be his.

Just then, a shout made his heart jump up to his throat.

"The Salted Fish is now in first place!"

Liu Cheng squinted his eyes to find that Li Yi's salted fish had indeed surpassed his own fish and became first place. On top of that, it just kept getting closer and closer to the top of the cliff.

His mind was in chaos, and his heart began to flutter.

Unfortunately, it was now the final stretch, and he had no other tricks up his sleeve.

The very next moment, Li Yi's koi fish leaped into the air and made it past the waterfall. It swam into the upstream river!

At that moment, the game was called!

Everyone held their breath and began to anticipate the koi's evolution.

In the past, Koi had evolved into many different Beasts. Among them were the Blue-Armored Catfish, the Green-Shelled Coal Turtle, and the Toothsplitting Shark. All are water-type Beasts.

However, the best evolution of the Koi is the Four-Clawed Dragon, which had a C-tier growth attribute.

It was this uncertainty that made countless people look curiously at the koi swimming at the top of the waterfall. They were waiting to find out what it would evolve into.

Meanwhile in the crowd, Liu Cheng clenched his fists in anger and ground his teeth.

He was just one step away from getting first place. He was so close to getting a high-quality Beast.

But now, someone else had snatched it away from him!

And it happened to be none other than Li Yi, his sworn enemy. Most embarrassing was the fact that Li Yi's koi won because it had eaten the Doubling Bait that he himself had thrown into the river!

All this combined almost caused him to vomit blood!

At that time, everyone was looking at the top of the waterfall.

Li Yi also was looking. His heart was racing. He had actually taken first place!

Not only was he about to get a huge reward, but he was also about to get whatever that koi evolves into!

Of course, he still had no way to contract it, so he would have to use the Recall Status.

Just then, four pillars of water slowly rose up from the upstream part of the river.

The four water pillars formed a rectangular shape. In the middle of these one could see none other than Li Yi's koi!

The water pillars rose until they were more than ten meters high. They then began to twist and distort, turning into a water tornado!

Four water tornadoes rose up, transforming the surrounding water vapor into a storm!

For a moment, water was splashing everywhere in a heavy torrent.

"Boom!!!"

The sound of thunder rang out as thick dark clouds spread out over the sky. It started to rain cats and dogs!

Earlier that morning, there was not a single cloud in the sky, and the sun was shining brightly. But now, this downpour came out of nowhere. No matter how one looked at it, it didn't seem right.

All the participants stood by the bank in the heavy rain. Everyone was looking at the river excitedly!

"The evolution this time is gonna be extraordinary!"

"It's a supernatural phenomenon. Look, it's actually a supernatural phenomenon. What is it going to evolve into?"

"I don't know. It definitely won't be an ordinary Beast!"

"The storm is too big. I can't see it clearly. It's about to happen!"

The sky was extremely dark. The heavy rain was blurring everyone's vision.

However, they continued to stand there. No one left. They all wanted to see what kind of Beast was creating such a disturbance!

Li Yi stood under a nearby pavilion and carefully observed what was going on at the center of the tornado.

Suddenly, a huge figure rushed out of the water and pressed into the sky!

Li Yi looked carefully and discovered to his shock that what just broke through the water was actually a dragon!

Its long body hovered in the air. Its four sharp claws were like those of an eagle. Its entire body was covered in pale blue scales, making it look like a lizard.

Apart from that, it had a tyrannical-looking head and a pair of exquisite dragon horns.

Without a doubt, what was floating in the sky was a True Dragon!

Its only difference from a normal dragon was that it had two gorgeous wings on its back.

Li Yi instantly recognized that it was a Ying Dragon!

Only a Ying Dragon had wings on its back!

Although the rain was blocking his line of sight, Li Yi could barely recognize that it was a [ Weak Water Ying Dragon ] !

"This is quite a rare, top-tier Beast!"

The Weak Water Ying Dragon was much rarer than the any of the high-level monster pets in the Shangguan family's collection!

Li Yi revealed an excited smile. He was not expecting that Salted Fish to evolve into a dragon! It wasn't a loss at all. It was a huge profit!

The crowd gasped when they saw the True Dragon.

"The True Dragon has appeared! It's so big!"

"It's almost twenty meters long! It looks mighty and domineering!"

"The True Dragon is staring at me. I'm so scared!"

"That's a Ying Dragon, right? It has wings on its back!"

"It is indeed a Ying Dragon. I didn't expect that the Salted Fish we were making fun of just now would turn into a Ying Dragon!"

"Oh my god, if I could contract that Beast, I would be invincible!"

"Nonsense, there isn't a single dragon-type monster pet in the entire Jianghai City. Even for the Shangguan family it is just a pipe dream!"

"I envy that man. He's actually going to contract such a high-level Beast. He's going to be one of Jianghai City's best and brightest someday!"

Liu Cheng, who was standing on the shore, was currently looking with bloodshot eyes at the mighty, terrifying Ying Dragon hovering in the air.

He was extremely furious. He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails began to dig into his flesh and draw a few drops of blood.

He gritted his teeth so hard that even his mouth began to fill with blood.

He detested the fact that Li Yi won first place instead of him!

If he hadn't, then he, not Li Yi, would be the number-one dragon trainer in the city now!

Countless riches, power, and money would have been his!

But now, everything was gone. The terrifying storm brought by the birth of the True Dragon had pushed his koi fish back a long way.

At this moment, Li Yi was admiring the flying Ying Dragon as though it were a precious jewel.

That mighty, domineering figure could easily trample any Beast Master around.

Li Yi quickly took out a Recall Status and threw it at the Weak Water Ying Dragon.

Having successfully attached the Recall Status, the dragon could be considered to be partially contracted by Li Yi.

As long as Li Yi whistled, he could summon the dragon at any time.

While attached the Recall Status, Li Yi noticed that the dragon had another Status attached to it.

It read [ Strong Luck ] . What it does should be obvious from the name.

Li Yi reached out his hand and took the [ Strong Luck ] Status from the Ying Dragon.

"It's actually a complete Status!"

Li Yi was a little surprised. He could make use of this Status straight away!

He then noticed that there was another Status attached to the dragon, and that was [ Contract -- Fish ] .

Li Yi took that one as well.
