The Cockroach-like Girl Is My Beast-Chapter 463 - 422: Divine Dragon

The team on the right belongs to the Private Tianqi Middle School...

In the next moment, Lin Guang’s gaze met a pair of bright blue eyes.

The captain of Tianqi Middle School, the next Patriarch of the Jiang Family, Jiang Nalan.

Today, he was still dressed in that deep blue robe that seemed from two hundred years ago, exuding a simple and ancient aura.

Behind him, two Spirit Beasts stood with a noble demeanor, seemingly connected with him, almost casting the surrounding light into a shade of blue.

A blue energy vortex, with a diameter of over ten meters, spun around a sky-blue core engraved with intricate patterns, emitting strong ethereal fluctuations.

[Tide Spirit]

A twenty-meter-long creature with bright silver scales, horns resembling coral, seemed fishlike yet dragonlike. It was almost undetectable via Ether Perception, as if it had merged with the surroundings.

[Fish Dragon]

In terms of size, it was much more imposing than the three girls of average human stature.

However, the atmosphere did not turn tense.

Compared to the encounter at Celestial Ladder Mountain, there was no hostility in Jiang Nalan’s eyes, nor was there any clash of Spiritual Power. Yet, his presence carried an indescribable profoundness, like a cold pond with hidden depths.

Lin Guang wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt a glint of inquiry in the other’s eyes.

9:48 AM.

A magnificent roar—

The being that had just dispelled the clouds uttered another roar from the distant horizon.

In the auditorium, both the spectators and the contestants unanimously looked up to the sky.

Roar!!!

As the loud and regal sound drew nearer, a slender figure emerged from the sky, spiraling down, allowing more people to discern its form.

It was a slender Great Xia Dragon, entirely black, with horns as black as if forged from dark iron. Its eyes were golden and slit-pupiled, scales shimmering with indigo phosphorescence, arranged in the flowing cloud pattern typical of a Great Xia Dragon, yet its black form imparted a sense of power and majesty.

Dragons in this world are broadly divided into "Federation Dragons" and "Great Xia Dragons".

The latter is often referred to as the "Great Xia Divine Dragon".

The hundred-meter-long black dragon before them was the "Profound Dragon" among the Great Xia Divine Dragons, also Great Xia’s totem.

The stands erupted with even more fervent cheers and exclamations. Countless people rose to their feet, eager for a clearer view of this legendary being.

For decades, the teams representing Zhen Sheng City have journeyed to the state competition riding on the back of this Profound Dragon.

Lin Guang looked up at the incredibly familiar giant dragon.

[Profound Dragon: Level 59]

"That’s right! It is our old friend from Zhen Sheng City—Senior Profound Dragon!" 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

The commentator’s voice resonated throughout the arena, filled with excitement and pride.

"Everyone is no stranger to it. Although the origins of Senior Profound Dragon are unknown, it has settled in Zhen Sheng City for decades, affiliated with the Great Xia officially. Over the years, during every state competition, it has carried the heavy responsibility of escorting our city’s competitors to the venue."

"It can be said that Senior Profound Dragon has witnessed generations of Zhen Sheng’s youth grow up and flourish!"

"Let’s wave our hands together! Wishing our contestants a successful journey and great achievements for Zhen Sheng City!"

The crowd once again boiled over.

The Profound Dragon spiraled down from mid-air, nodding at these excited citizens of Zhen Sheng City, then stopped on the stage of the sports center.

In the next moment, a visible vortex of air currents arose around it, expanding into a tornado-like storm.

[Tornado]

All the people and Spirit Beasts on the stage were swept up by this storm, yet there was no sign of injury. Instead, they were precisely kept in their original positions, landing on its black and sturdy dragon scales.

Amidst the raging winds, those standing on the sleek scales felt as if they were walking on flat ground, without the slightest hint of unsteadiness.

Bong—

With a deep and clear chime, the Profound Dragon soared upward, carrying the crowd toward the northwest—the direction of Li Hai City—and soon vanished from view.

...

The Profound Dragon swiftly ascended from an angle while carrying dozens of people. Below, the city and forests rapidly shrank, transforming into a miniature silhouette accented with golden-yellow.

But this was only the beginning.

Five thousand meters... ten thousand meters... fifty thousand meters...

Seventy-three thousand meters!

In just a few minutes, the entire nearly two-hundred-meter-long dragon body, along with the dozens of riders, had escalated to a height of seventy kilometers in the air!

The contestants and accompanying personnel from the four teams almost universally stared at the scene before them with curiosity.

—From this altitude, looking down at the earth, there was no sign of curvature, yet everything below appeared so insignificant. Those mountains, rivers, and forests seemed like flat images on a map, lacking elevation.

And they were racing across the sky above this picture.

The dragon’s back seemed shrouded in a light azure barrier, with no wind flowing in and an atmosphere of quiet isolation from the outside world.

In this silence, the sound barrier was breached without a ripple and acceleration continued. Clouds and air parted automatically in front of the majestic and silent dark dragon body, as if there was no resistance at all.

Those riding on the dragon’s back barely felt any pushback, as if completely isolated from the outside world.

The only thing visible were the celestial scenes above.
