Chapter 729: Chapter 442 Vast Sea and Sky

Clang!

Ji Xinghuo took a step forward, thrusting his long spear in a plain, unremarkable manner. A spiral flash of electricity blossomed at the tip of the spear, hitting the body of Titanium Cobalt Qingwei’s spear with precision.

In the midst of the metallic clashing sound, Titanium Cobalt Qingwei’s hands violently trembled and went numb, her long spear flying out of her grip.

The tip of the spear stopped right in front of her chest, motionless.

"Huff, huff..." Titanium Cobalt Qingwei gasped heavily, her full chest heaving with each breath, sweat dripping down her forehead as she shook her head and coquettishly said, "Ah! My strength still falls far short of yours, Xinghuo. Even with all my effort, this is the best I can do."

Though she said this, her eyes were filled with joy.

Half a Star Realm Month ago, she couldn’t even withstand a single encounter with Ji Xinghuo, but now she was able to exchange moves for two or three minutes.

"Qingwei, you’ve improved a lot," Ji Xinghuo acknowledged. "These past half-month of training haven’t been in vain."

"That’s because you teach well," Titanium Cobalt Qingwei replied with joy on her face.

Ji Xinghuo simply smiled.

In reality, even though he was holding back, entering only his Overclocking Thought and keeping his strength below 20%, not using any sort of Ability bursts, purely competing in spear technique, the fact that Titanium Cobalt Qingwei could last three minutes showed her exceptional talent.

At the very least, in terms of Martial Arts, Titanium Cobalt Qingwei had already surpassed 99% of the Legendary Mutants.

Ji Xinghuo couldn’t help but think of Man Ying.

In terms of Martial Arts talent, Man Ying was the strongest Mutant he had ever seen. Compared to her, Qingwei still had a long way to go.

Of course, Qingwei’s family background and resources were far better than Man Ying’s.

"What are you thinking about?"

Titanium Cobalt Qingwei picked up her spear and noticed Ji Xinghuo seemed to be lost in thought. She asked curiously.

"I’m thinking that I should go out hunting," Ji Xinghuo answered with an unchanged expression, then suddenly said, "Qingwei, I’m the kind of person who can’t stay idle, I find it hard to live in one place for long."

Titanium Cobalt Qingwei’s eyes flickered slightly, "Isn’t Titanium Ring City good? You can cultivate here in Titanium Ring City, raise your strength to a higher level, reach a bottleneck, and then go looking for opportunities. Wouldn’t that be better?"

"Titanium Ring City is great, safe and worry-free, and you’re here too; being with you makes me very happy," Ji Xinghuo said with tender eyes.

However, his determination remained unshaken within his heart.

"I prefer going on adventures, hunting, traveling, fighting, challenging formidable enemies and dangers. Only in this way can I travel farther on the path of evolution, make my life more exciting, and experience the boundless wonders of this world!"

Ji Xinghuo looked at Titanium Cobalt Qingwei, "Qingwei, can you understand me?"

"I..."

Titanium Cobalt Qingwei bit her lip, hesitated, and after a moment of silence, asked, "Will you come back?"

"Of course!"

Ji Xinghuo broke into a smile and embraced the girl, "As long as you are here, Titanium Ring City is like my second hometown. I’ll definitely come back frequently. Don’t forget, I’m also a member of the Titanium Cobalt Family."

Titanium Cobalt Qingwei’s eyes, which had been somewhat dim, brightened again. She pressed her head against Ji Xinghuo’s chest, listening to his strong heartbeat.

Having been together for over a month, she had grown accustomed to the presence of the man before her.

"Xing, where do you plan to go?"

Ji Xinghuo had already made plans, "First, I’ll go to Black Ring Star for a while to hunt, to regain that feeling of a solitary adventure, and then head to the Tide Song Territory in the Donghuang Sea of the Bibo Dragon Domain."

"Tide Song Territory?" Titanium Cobalt Qingwei immediately formed a guess, "Are you trying to go to the Tide Song’s Whale Dragon Family?"

Ji Xinghuo was surprised, "How did you guess?"

"Which Dragon Lord of our Titanium Cobalt Family wouldn’t know of this Whale Dragon Family?" Titanium Cobalt Qingwei laughed softly, shaking her head, "They are the only True Dragon Family in the Dynasty able to consistently provide ’Magnetic Pole Potential Slash,’ but their numbers are extremely limited, and they frequently use this as leverage over us, leading to a very strained relationship -- almost as if we were enemies."

"What exactly happened?" Ji Xinghuo hadn’t expected this twist.

"I don’t know too much myself."

Titanium Cobalt Qingwei spoke, "The Whale Dragon Family treats the source of the Magnetic Pole Potential Slash as their highest secret, guarding it fiercely. They want to wield significant influence over the Dynasty’s three Titanium Cobalt Families, as well as all Electromagnetic Element Mutants."

"Naturally, the Titanium Cobalt Family wouldn’t comply with their wishes."

"The last time, which was probably over 350 Star Realm Seasons ago, the three Titanium Cobalt Families put pressure on the Tide Song’s Whale Dragon Family collectively. They didn’t demand the source of the Magnetic Pole Potential Slash to be made public. Instead, they merely requested a portion of the Mutant Species for a fair trade."

"However, the Whale Dragon Family disagreed and several battles broke out. Later, the Bibo Dragon Emperor intervened and the issue was left unresolved."

"It was then that the grudges between the families were formed."

"Ever since that time, the Whale Dragon Family has prohibited the sale of Magnetic Pole Potential Slash to any Dragon Lords of the three Titanium Cobalt Families. We’ve had to search elsewhere for Mutant Species, but they are extremely rare, appearing only once in a great while. Either the fight for them ends in bloodshed, or they are sold for exorbitant prices."

Titanium Cobalt Qingwei looked at Ji Xinghuo, "As a member of the Titanium Cobalt Family, it’s very unlikely for you to obtain Magnetic Pole Potential Slash from the Whale Dragon Family."

"I still have to try," Ji Xinghuo wasn’t ready to give up.

Worst comes to worst, once he arrived in the Tide Song Territory, he could just assume another identity and make sure the Whale Dragon Family didn’t know who he really was.

He continued to inquire about the Whale Dragon Family, and Titanium Cobalt Qingwei told him everything she knew.

In the following days, the two spent all their time together.

Apart from the final step, they did everything else, and Titanium Cobalt Qingwei, moved by passion, tried to cross that threshold several times, but Ji Xinghuo held back.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to, but he felt the timing wasn’t right.

Leaving Titanium Ring City this time was a test; impulses during heated romance are prone to regret. Taking a break to cool off, and when they met again, if Titanium Cobalt Qingwei’s feelings remained unchanged, then it would be the right time.

Before leaving, Ji Xinghuo made a trip to the Earth outpost to ask Cheng Sheng to send someone every few days to an address in the lower Titanium Ring City.

It was the contact address for the Silicon Giant, Gang Kui.

Ji Xinghuo had agreed with him that should Gang Kui obtain the "Power of the Stars," they would meet at this location.

The agreed time was one Star Realm Year, and at the earliest, it should be before the end of this hot season.

Now it is "Wind Moon."

The sixth month of the hot season, and after this, it will still pass through "Singing Moon," "Flame Moon," and "Peak Moon" before entering the cold season. In the Star Realm, one month equates to 75 days on Earth; there’s still plenty of time before the agreed date.

In the courtyard of the manor, Ji Xinghuo waved to Titanium Cobalt Lan and Titanium Cobalt Qingwei, before flying into the sky by himself, disappearing into the horizon.

Watching the direction in which Ji Xinghuo left, Titanium Cobalt Qingwei had a distant look in her eyes and remained silent for a long time.

"Why don’t you go with him?" Titanium Cobalt Lan asked.

"I wish I could."

With a sigh, Titanium Cobalt Qingwei said, "But I’m afraid I would only be a burden to him. Besides, he is so secretive, he likely doesn’t enjoy having someone constantly by his side; it would make him unhappy, or even cause him to dislike me."

"That’s unlikely; Xinghuo isn’t that kind of person..." Titanium Cobalt Lan offered some words of comfort, but she wasn’t very sure of what she had just said.

"Does Aunt Lan understand him well?" Titanium Cobalt Qingwei looked over.

Titanium Cobalt Lan shook her head, "Not particularly well."

"Jin said he is from Earth, you must know where Earth is, right?" Titanium Cobalt Qingwei seemed to have wanted to ask for a long time and finally had the opportunity once Ji Xinghuo left. "Aunt Lan, tell me about Earth."

Titanium Cobalt Lan hesitated for a few seconds before nodding, "Alright."

Outside Titanium Ring City.

High in the sky, Ji Xinghuo flew like lightning, only relaxing a bit when he was over three hundred kilometers away from Titanium Ring City.

He had felt uncomfortable throughout his stay in Titanium Ring City.

The oppressive power of the Titanium Cobalt Dragon King was too strong; the feeling that he might be under surveillance at any moment and yet completely unaware was like a heavy stone pressing on his heart, making Ji Xinghuo move cautiously, even affecting his sleep.

He was used to having complete control over all information, the passive feeling of being controlled by others was truly uncomfortable.

"The power gap is too great!"

Ji Xinghuo thought to himself, wishing he could at least sense when he was being perceived.

But there was no such perception.

Now, hundreds of kilometers away from Titanium Ring City, he felt considerably more relaxed, as if a cloud overshadowing his heart had dissipated, and the oppression was gone.

A flash of white light swept across.

Twenty or so seconds later, Ji Xinghuo entered a Star Realm Jump. After three consecutive jumps, he arrived at You Hui City. Approaching the Star Gate, the Mutants in line saw his appearance and aura and quickly made way.

Someone recognized Ji Xinghuo and whispered, "Annihilation Jin!"

Ji Xinghuo was unconcerned.

In the Yuan Magnetic Territory, the name Annihilation Jin was known to all. Even though his appearance had changed somewhat, some who had witnessed the Destructive Dragon Festival could still recognize him.

He passed through the Star Gate to Black Ring Star.

Familiar with the path, Ji Xinghuo took the space elevator, descended to the Arctic Transfer Station, boarded a transport ship that let him off near the equator of Black Ring Star, and then flew at full speed across the equator, eventually arriving at the Silent Wilderness in the southern hemisphere.

From up in the sky, Ji Xinghuo looked down upon the endless wilderness.

Electromagnetic induction had already detected the Earth Devouring Worms hidden beneath the ground, and he couldn’t help but feel exhilarated.

"Worms, your nemesis has returned!" Ji Xinghuo called out.

However, before that, there was something more important to do.

Black light burst forth from his left eye, activating the long-unused Supreme Dark Magic Ball. A shadow spread from Ji Xinghuo’s body, and using "Shadow Invisible" from Jiu You, he suddenly vanished into the air.

Swiftly traversing through the shadows, Ji Xinghuo soon entered the ruins of a You Hui Clan city on the wilderness.

In the ruins, there was a large hall that had collapsed in great part.

Ji Xinghuo’s figure emerged, and a dark gold radiance flew out from his chest, transforming into the Annihilation Dragon. With a graceful beating of its wings, Doomsday spiraled a few times above his head before landing, curiously observing the surroundings. Qing Hong also jumped out, hopping and frolicking around in the hall.

"Come here!"

Ji Xinghuo beckoned Doomsday to come closer, already holding two Alien Species in his hands.

One was the Titanium Cobalt Dragon Body, and the other was the Ether Dragon Heart.

Out of the four Dragon Species collected in Titanium Ring City, Doomsday could only fuse two. After consideration, Ji Xinghuo chose these two Alien Species.

The Titanium Cobalt Dragon Body was a Star-falling Species with an exclusive Ability of the Divine Dragon Species. It was a priority for fusion, significantly boosting Doomsday’s Defense and Strength, which would then be transmitted to himself through the Dragon Vein User, doubling the effect.

As for the remaining Flash Sky Wings, Crystal Scale, and Ether Dragon Heart, all were excellent Species.

But after fusing the first two Alien Species, the features would be too obvious. With a little use, anyone paying close attention could identify them. _{free.w e bn.ov(e)l(.)com}

Whereas the Ether Dragon Heart was much more inconspicuous.

Its effects were internal, causing no external changes and making it indistinguishable.

The Titanium Cobalt Dragon Body was similar in that it primarily modified the internal body and skin. With Doomsday’s layer of Dragon Scale disguising it, it was less likely to be exposed.

As for the future, how should he handle the fusion of more Dragon Species?

The idea was to keep Doomsday’s Ancestor Dragon Vein as secret as possible for as long as possible, never revealing it in battle lightly. He should kill to silence witnesses when using it, ideally until he himself advanced to Shepherd Star Saint.

Otherwise, both he and Doomsday would stand no chance in the True Dragon Dynasty!
