Chapter 276 Great Dragon
Chapter 276 Great Dragon
It was no ordinary creature. It possessed a long body without any limb and slithered in its position. It
was no doubt that it was indeed, a snake.
Ricky didn't have to second guess himself. He was confident enough to believe his own eyes about
what was in front of him.
But there was more to the creature. Ricky, from where he stood, scrunched up his eyes and tried to
keep away the blur that might have been blocking his vision. To his amusement, it was no joke that he
saw the snake flying in the wind in the Chaotic Fire Zone.
To everyone's knowledge, snakes did not usually fly unless these beasts had wings of their own or if
they were the innate spiritual beasts that verged on the power of space to fly just like the other warriors.
Ricky looked up in the sky again and glanced at the two-meter long red snake that flew gracefully up in
the sky. He immediately saw that there were no signs of any wings attached to the creature which
meant only one thing--the snake was an innate spiritual beast.
'W..wait. How could it be? Wow, I can't believe that he is really an innate spiritual beast, ' Ricky thought
to himself as he tried to absorb the marvelous scene. He never thought in a million years that he would
be able to see such a rare creature with his naked eyes.
All of a sudden, the red snake halted soaring in the air. It stopped flying due to the amount of Heaven
Melting Fire that had engulfed. The red snake averted its eyes to Ricky and gradually lowered its body
down to the ground to see Ricky face to face.
Ricky thought he was in a trance. He saw the red snake morph from a beast into a young boy roughly
around eleven or twelve years old.
"Brother," the little boy shouted in a little childish voice.
"Wow, you can even shape shift into human form. That's cool! So...are you really an innate spiritual
beast? I can't believe my eyes! I must be dreaming!" Ricky exclaimed. He was elated at the sight of an
innate spiritual beast right in front of him. He almost poked the beast just to check if he was seeing the
real deal. "But...Oh my god, you really are! This is one for the books!
Are you really the Great Dragon everyone has been talking about? Hmmm...wait. I'm having second
thoughts about this.
If you really are the Great Dragon, then why did you look like a snake prior to shape shifting into a little
boy?"
Ricky threw in question after question as if he were a curious cat. It was an unbelievable experience for
Ricky to see the alleged Great Dragon in the flesh that he acted childishly as he questioned the
creature's identity.
Drowning in a series of questions, the young boy felt confused and overwhelmed as he didn't know
which question to answer first. His jaws were agape but no explanation came out of his mouth. It wasn't
until Ricky became silent that the young boy finally had the chance to speak. "Brother, slow down.
There's just too many to answer. I'm smothered with your questions. Can you ask one at a time,
please?"
Ricky felt a bit skittish after hearing what the young boy had in his mind. He realized that he might have
pushed the questions a little too far because of the intense rush that he felt. After all, it was a one in a
million chance to ask those questions to the Great Dragon. All he wanted was his questions answered
so he forced himself to calm down away from the jitters.
He sighed deeply. He collected himself, and then faced the young boy.
"Why did you call me your brother?" Ricky asked.
He wanted to know the innate spiritual beast's personality. He was cautious enough to wonder whether Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
this creature could be trusted or not.
"Brother, I may have been inside the dragon egg for the longest time, but I remember what happened
outside of the shells clearly. You brought me out and saved my life before my father's world was
destroyed. In my heart, you are my best brother." The dragon lowered its head and bowed to Ricky. He
was very grateful and humbled by what Ricky had done for him.
"I'm willing to do anything for you unconditionally and without any questions. Just say the words and I'll
do my best to attend to your request," he added.
"Oh, thanks. I guess you can protect me when I'm in danger. After all, you are so powerful," Ricky
replied with delight.
"By the way, what's your name?" Ricky added.
"The only thing I know is that our family name is Dragon. I don't have a first name yet. If you don't mind,
would you do the honors of giving me an awesome first name?" the young dragon asked with high
spirit.
After all, a name was of great importance for everyone for it brings out one's identity.
"Now let me see. Which name could be the right fit for you?" Ricky began to think about his name and
said to him, "You are the Great Dragon. You are born to fly above the clouds. How about the name
Soar?"
"Soar Dragon! Thank you. I like it very much and I think it suits me. Not only is the name cultured, but
it's also very regal." The young boy's smile was up to his ears. He was beyond thrilled upon hearing his
new name.
The dragon was baptized with a new name, a name that he would bear proud on his chest forever. His
happiness brought so much excitement to him that he even shouted his name loud in the whole of the
Chaotic Fire Zone.
"Can I call you Soar? Let me ask you something. I'm a little curious about your original body. What is
it?" Ricky asked politely. The dragon enveloped him with such interest that he asked Soar again for the
nth time.
"Brother, I was like a snake just like how you first saw me flying up in the air." Soar Dragon smiled.
"Oh, okay. I thought you had something other than the snake body that I saw," Ricky replied.
"Brother, I will never cheat you. I'm the Great Dragon with noble blood. I will always show you what I
am capable of shape shifting into. Just as an old saying goes, a dragon has nine sons and each of
them is different from the others. Besides, when we were born, we didn't really possess a dragon's
body," Soar Dragon explained.
"Only when we reach the level of spiritual king or even higher can our bodies change into the Great
Dragon's body."
"Oh... I see." Ricky nodded his head as he finally understood more about the dragon's likeness.
Ricky also knew from the dragon that the level that was higher than innate spiritual kings was the
spiritual emperors.
"Soar, which level are you in now?" Ricky asked seriously. At the moment, it was the most important
question that Ricky cared about.
"Brother, my level is similar to that of demi-immortal of human warriors," Soar Dragon said.
"What? Really? The level of demi-immortal? I thought you have at least reached the level of innate
spiritual king!" Ricky was stunned by what the Soar Dragon had said.
"Brother, in your eyes, the Great Dragon was born with the level of innate spiritual king, which is too
incredible for a newborn." Looking at Ricky's confused face, Soar Dragon began to explain, "Generally,
we were born with the level of the intermediate stage of Blood Purification. I am an exception though,
because I have devoured a lot of flame energy when I slept in my father's world."
"Soar, I don't mean it that way. Just another question. Why can you fly and morph into human figure
without reaching the level of innate spiritual king first?" Ricky asked.
"Oh, brother, I believe that you are beginning to doubt me," Soar Dragon said as he curved his lip a
little upward.
"Brother, the spiritual beast of the best blood power was born to merge with the space, so we can fly.
And of course, it is a known fact that we are among the best blood power,"
Soar Dragon proudly said while he puffed out his chest a little.
"Oh, I get it now. The strong blood power is indeed quite remarkable," Ricky sighed as he felt a tad bit
jealous of Soar Dragon's power.
"Brother, you are much more remarkable than I am. As far as I'm concerned, the Chaotic Fire Zone is
the strongest zone around the world. It can even contain two kinds of sacred fire and a kind of peculiar
fire at the same time." Soar Dragon smiled as he tried to boost Ricky's confidence.
"What's more is that the method of manual in the zone is extraordinary and even more complicated and
profound than our cultivation methods."
"Soar, this is my secret. Please don't tell others. Please keep it to yourself." Ricky felt the need to tell
Soar Dragon his secret naturally, as if they have known each other already for a very long time.
"Ha-ha! Brother, of course I will keep this secret. After all, I am set to cultivate in your zone in return."
Soar Dragon laughed.
"Of course you can!" Ricky nodded.
Ricky was very pleased with his newfound relationship with Soar Dragon. He was ultimately lucky to
have Soar Dragon by his side and he was sure that everyone would think the same. He made it his life
mission to do his best to help Soar Dragon in any kind of trouble, too. Just like how brothers protect
and help each other.
"By the way, Soar... forgive my series of questions but are you stronger than an innate spiritual king?"
Ricky asked again.
The Great Dragon wasn't even close to being branded as a mediocre creature.
"Brother, I can be pitted against the lower spiritual kings of the third class. But I can't beat the lower
spiritual kings of the second class," Soar Dragon replied after thinking long and hard.
"I have a long distance to walk and If I would want to challenge an innate spiritual king, I must be a
talent who can defeat someone three levels higher than me in the level of Bone Reinforcement.
But brother, look at yourself. You are the true talent!"
Soar Dragon lifted his finger and pointed at Ricky's chest with utmost respect.
