2061 An angry dragon

　　Striped Dragon has a son?

　　Song Shuhang always thought that Striped Dragon was single, so he never expected it to have a son.

　　Little Stripey: [I’ve had enough of talking nonsense with you. Get ready, I’m going to teleport the dragon pearl to your location.]

　　After it sent this message, the lotus and the blackboard disappeared.

　　Then, a fist-sized spatial gate forcibly opened right beside Song Shuhang.

　　When the divine dragon saw this scene, its whiskers trembled slightly. Today, it had seen people forcibly break through the spatial lock of Garre Holy Mountain’s trial grounds twice.

　　Sage White, as well as this mysterious Little Stripey, could ignore the spatial lock of the holy mountain and use their spatial abilities.

　　It seemed like it was about time for the spatial confinement of the holy mountain to be upgraded.

　　After the fist-sized spatial gate opened, a dragon pearl with black and white patterns fell into Song Shuhang’s hands. As expected of the dragon pearl of Striped Dragon’s son, even its dragon pearl was striped. Their genetics were truly powerful.

　　Song Shuhang now found himself quite curious about who the son of Striped Dragon might be.

　　However, Striped Dragon did not give Song Shuhang a chance to ask, so he could only suppress his curiosity and leave the question for later.

　　I’ll just ask about it at a later time.

　　“Now, I have five dragon pearls.” In Song Shuhang’s left hand were the dragon pearls of Sixteen and Sister White Dragon, and in his right hand were the dragon pearls of Senior White, the divine dragon, and Striped Dragon’s son.

　　At this moment, the divine dragon’s heart was in turmoil. This guy isn’t really going to collect seven dragon pearls, is he?

　　[Beep~ The Dragon Network Assistant is now ready. Tyrannical Song, please get ready to receive the dragon pearl.]

　　After the beeping sound, another small spatial gate appeared beside Song Shuhang.

　　“This is already the third time today.” The divine dragon sighed and looked toward the sky. It felt that the locked space of their Garre Holy Mountain had become the playground of these strangers, who could enter on a whim with their powerful spatial abilities.

　　I can’t let this go on. As soon as I’m done with this stuff, I need to upgrade the spatial defense system. We must make it so that the next batch of trial takers is awed by our majestic spatial lock.

　　After the spatial gate opened, Lady Kunna’s petite hand stretched out of it. In her palm was a jet-black dragon pearl.

　　“Is that the Black Dragon’s dragon pearl?” Song Shuhang gulped when he saw the black dragon pearl.

　　Lady Kunna placed the black dragon pearl in Song Shuhang’s palm, and then she waved her hand as if to say goodbye.

　　Actually, the Black Dragon is huge. If it were to spit out a dragon pearl, that pearl has to be the size of a small or medium-sized country…

　　“Thank you,” said Song Shuhang. He knew that he had to take note of this favor.

　　Lady Kunna made an “OK” gesture as her hand retreated back into the spatial gate, disappearing from their sight.

　　Su Clan’s Sixteen said, “Six.”

　　One more and Song Shuhang would have the seven dragon pearls he needed.

　　Sister White Dragon asked, “How are you going to get the last dragon pearl?”

　　Song Shuhang thought for a while and asked, “Senior White, do you have any dragon pearls left?”

　　First thing, he should ask the almighty Senior White.

　　Senior White replied, “I might, I might not. I can’t remember. However, even if I do have a dragon pearl stored somewhere, its grade should not be that high. Otherwise, I would have a deeper impression of it.”

　　The six dragon pearls in Song Shuhang’s hands were all uncommon. Rather than using an ordinary dragon pearl to make up the numbers, it would be much better for him to wait and get a better dragon pearl.

　　“In that case…” A bold idea formed in Song Shuhang’s mind. If he took out some of Senior Skylark’s body parts, could he summon the father of that female giant turtle of disaster?

　　He remembered that Papa Turtle had a dragon’s head and a turtle’s body. Since he had a dragon’s head, then he might also have a dragon pearl.

　　But after giving it some thought, he decided against it.

　　This was because if Papa Turtle were to appear, the thing that was most likely to happen was that he would be rewarded with a Roaring Dragon Cannon rather than a dragon pearl.

　　In addition, there was no certainty that Papa Turtle even had a dragon pearl.

　　As such, Song Shuhang went back to racking his brains in search of a solution.

　　“Right, is it possible for me to use something else rather than a dragon pearl?” Song Shuhang asked casually.

　　The divine dragon asked in return, “For example?”

　　“For example, the Scholarly Sage’s eye,” replied Song Shuhang.

　　The divine dragon: “…”

　　If eyeballs were useful here, then I could lend you mine, you idiot! How dare you take a true dragon’s dragon pearl so lightly?!

　　Song Shuhang said regretfully, “Seems like that isn’t an option.”

　　Afterward, he glanced at Sixteen.

　　“Heh, I nearly forgot about her!” Song Shuhang laughed.

　　Right after that, he activated his newly-learned ❮Flame Substitution Technique❯.

　　The adult Sixteen condensed from the flames of the magical technique.

　　This time, the adult Sixteen did not immediately commit suicide. Instead, she decided to bide her time and see if there was a chance for her to get out of this Flame Substitute and invade the body of some other creature.

　　Although the odds might be small, as long as one was still alive, there was hope.

　　Song Shuhang asked, “Adult Sixteen, do you have a dragon pearl?”

　　The adult Sixteen raised her head and glanced at Shuhang contemptuously.

　　“If you have a dragon pearl and you lend it to me,” Song Shuhang smiled slightly and said, “I might look for a way to separate you from the Flame Substitute.”

　　After all, the ❮Flame Substitution Technique❯ was an important life-saving skill, and he also wanted to have the magical technique working normally.

　　Hearing this, the adult Sixteen’s eyes lit up.

　　But after a while, she lowered her head in disappointment.

　　Unfortunately, she did not have a dragon pearl.

　　Sixteen took out an insurance ticket and said, “Then, I’ll tear this insurance ticket and summon Senior Almighty Merchant.”

　　The Almighty Merchant had all kinds of goods, and he should have some dragon pearls in stock.

　　“Let me give you a reminder,” said the divine dragon all of a sudden. “The ❮Ape Dragon Miraculous Nascent Technique❯ requires you to use the energy inside a dragon pearl… Moreover, the owner of that dragon pearl must be alive.”

　　The six dragon pearls in Song Shuhang’s hands were filled with vitality, and there was no doubt that their owners were in good condition.

　　However, when it came to dragon pearls that were traded, it was pretty common for them to belong to deceased dragons. That kind of dragon pearl could not be used to practice the ❮Ape Dragon Miraculous Nascent Technique❯.

　　After all, this method of birthing a Nascent Soul required vitality. If it were the dragon pearl of a dead dragon, how could it possibly give birth to anything?

　　Song Shuhang pinched his chin and said, “Maybe the Almighty Merchant has the dragon pearl of a living true dragon in his hands. After all, he is the Almighty Merchant.”

　　If they really could not get the dragon pearl of a living dragon, then they could just ask the Almighty Merchant if he could borrow a dragon pearl from a true dragon for him.

　　“Then, I’ll summon him.” Sixteen stretched out her hand and tore the insurance ticket.

　　In the next moment, spatial fluctuations appeared in the air.

　　The divine dragon was mad when it sensed the spatial fluctuations.

　　This defense system is too garbage!

　　This is the fourth person to completely ignore the locked space of Garre Holy Mountain in just half a day!

　　After the spatial fluctuations created ripples in the air…

　　A large hand stretched out nowhere, grabbed the adult Sixteen, and disappeared.

　　Song Shuhang: “…”

　　Su Clan’s Sixteen: “…”

　　To be fair, this was the purpose of the insurance ticket; it was supposed to be used to save Sixteen at a critical moment.

　　There was completely nothing wrong with what just happened.

　　Of course, other than the fact that the Almighty Merchant had saved the wrong person.
