The Strongest Dragon in the Era of Beast Taming

Chapter 364: Decisive Rejection

Translator: 549690339 |

There was a knock on the door of Everlasting Island Beast Master Base’s command room.

“Come in.”

Cloud Marshall, with his head bowed and eyebrows furrowed, looked closely at the list of Trainer casualties and the condolence report in his hands.

In order to resist the Abyssal invasion, a total of 138 Beast Master soldiers died in battle with another 1,822 suffering severe injuries. Even two King Level Experts have fallen, the casualties were indeed significant.

“Cloud Marshall.”

Looking at the serious-faced man in front of him, who seemed to carry a hint of sadness, David Jones was slightly stunned and couldn’t help but give a standard military salute.

You re just in time, Colonel Jones. The rewards from the military have arrived.”

“Colonel Jones?” David blinked, was he talking about himself?

“That’s right, due to your extraordinary contributions during military training, the military has specially awarded you the honorary title of Colonel.”

“Colonel Jones, if you decide to leave Rosewood College and join the Everlasting Island Beast Master Base, based on your merits, you will at least be a Brigadier General who actually controls one thousand elite Beast Master soldiers,” said Carmen Easton bluntly.

Even though Carmen Easton knew in his heart that the probability of David agreeing to leave school was very low, he still couldn’t help but want to try again and see if he could enlist David into his legion.

Before David could respond, the door of the command room was abruptly opened, and a mature woman with blonde curls and delicate facial features walked in.

“Cloud Marshall, David’s development mentor has already made arrangements, you don’t need to worry about it.” Audrey Harvey’s beautiful eyes deliberately carried a hint of anger as she looked at Carmen Easton.

I m just giving him another choice regarding his future development.” Carmen Easton said without changing his expression.

“Thank you for your high regard, General, but with my abilities, I really can’t command an army of a thousand.” Seeing his mentor present, David decisively refused.

One should act their age.

In David’s view, his current strength was still weak, and he was not suitable to be in the dangerous Beast Master Base, but should continue to cultivate in a more stable environment like Rosewood College, until he became a strong one. Moreover, his teacher and senior sister had been extremely good to him, so unless his brain stopped working properly, he would not leave Rosewood College to join the Everlasting Island Beast Master Base.

“So be it.” Carmen Easton sighed slightly.

With a flash of light between his fingers, a delicate Blue Dragon Badge with a dancing Azure Dragon on its surface instantly appeared in front of David. The majestic dragon eyes seemed to possess the awe-inspiring power of the universe.

This is a Blue Dragon Badge. Since the founding of the Flowery Kingdom, less than a thousand of them have been issued; even I don’t have one myself.” Carmen Easton smiled as he handed the badge to David.

The Blue Dragon Badge allows its holder to choose one Overlord cub, a Class VII arcane implement, or a Class VII elixir, which is a rare sight even for’epic experts to see.

But more than those material rewards, Carmen Easton valued the significance behind the Blue Dragon Badge – it was a symbol of being a direct descendant of the Flowery Kingdom.

The badge holder even has a chance to be included in the Beast Master’s Pride List, which the country fully cultivates in order to respond to the threats posed by the presence of Beasts in today’s era-this is an opportunity that money simply can’t buy.

As David took the Blue Dragon Badge, its touch felt like warm jade. He could even feel a trace of cold energy slowly flowing from the badge into his Arcane Star, making his psyche involuntarily refreshed.

“As a Class VII Psychic Defensive Arcane Implement, the Blue Dragon Badge not only protects the host’s spirit and resists a single offensive attack (including Psychic attacks), but also has the wonderful effect of condensing the spirit and gathering energy to improve the Arcane Star’s cultivation speed.” Audrey Harvey explained with a smile when she saw David’s astonished expression.

Even as a prestigious Grandmaster Pharmacist, who had developed many high- level elixirs and even created the Class VII Elixir “Origin Elixir” that could lock the life force of Epic powers on the battlefield and greatly enhance their fighting strength, Audrey Harvey had only received a Yellow Class Azure Dragon Badge.

“I see.”

David Jones nodded slightly and treasured the Black Dragon Badge.

“By the way, there’s something else I want to consult with you,” said Carmen Easton.

“Please go ahead, Cloud Marshall.”

In a flash, two dazzling blue lights streaked across the room, and two elegant True Dragons, one big and one small, suddenly appeared in the command room.

“This is the Glaze Dragon that attacked our team from the Mountain Everlasting!”

David’s eyes narrowed slightly, recognizing the smaller True Dragon immediately.

Tn order to sharpen your team, I deliberately sent the little Glaze to attack you. After the military training test, I believe you have a certain understanding of the Glaze Dragon’s strength,” Carmen Easton said, stroking the Glaze Dragon’s head.

Upon hearing this, Audrey Harvey’s eyes sparkled, “The Overlord-class Glaze Dragon, could it be?”

As expected, in the next moment, Carmen Easton gently pushed forward the clingy Glaze Dragon, showing it off to everyone present.

“Little Glaze has a stubborn personality. Over the years, I have spent a lot of energy looking for a suitable Trainer for it,” he said.

“During your training, your performance was not only outstanding, but you were also the only newcomer Trainer able to defeat Little Glaze. So, I hope it can sign a Beast Contract with you and grow stronger together. What do you think?” Carmen Easton pointedly asked.

David blinked, his heart somewhat excited.

After all, the Glaze Dragon is an Epic Overlord-class True Dragon. Such a high- level pet, especially a Dragon Pet, probably has a line of Trainers wanting to make a contract with it stretching from the Rosewood College to Everlasting Island. Even now, David couldn’t help but be slightly tempted.

However, considering that the attributes of both the Glaze Dragon and his current pet Rainbow were ice, and the pressure on his Arcane Star after contracting with the Gluttonous Beast was already significant, in addition to the fact that his teacher still had an extremely rare dragon pet uncontracted, David quickly suppressed the excitement in his heart.

Perhaps it sounded arrogant, but for David now, even an Epic Overlord-class True Dragon didn’t mean much, even if it had the bloodline of an Ocean Deity. After pondering, David looked up at Audrey, as if asking for her opinion.

“It’s up to you.”

Catching the message in Audrey’s eyes, David said with a hint of apology, “I’m sorry, Cloud Marshall, my current strength is not enough to make a contract with a Class VGlaze Dragon.”

As expected of David!” Audrey Harvey smiled.

Hearing this, the Jade Dragon’s eyes flashed with disbelief.

She knew well how feverishly human trainers pursued True Dragons, even risking their lives to do so, but David actually rejected her!!!

On the other side, Carmen Easton: “???”

He didn’t expect what he thought would be a sure thing to be rejected by David. In his opinion, David’s excuse for not being strong enough was not valid.
