Upon hearing that Du Yaqiu did not have any Pet Slot Expansion Scrolls on hand at the moment, Lu Fan could not help but feel disappointed.
[Come to think of it, this item really isn’t that expensive, costing only about 10-20 million Dragon Coins per scroll. But it is a High Level crafted item, requiring certain Enhancement Specialised Profession Players supported by Major Families to create.]
[The Pet Slot Expansion Scroll has very low practical use, while consuming a lot of materials. With those materials, it would be more practical to create scrolls that permanently enhanced equipment Attributes instead. For example, many Enhancement Scrolls were used on the Underworld Serpent’s Cry, increasing the price of this top quality equipment several times over.]
[In other words, Pet Slot Expansion Scrolls are truly not easy to come by. Perhaps someone might occasionally obtain one as a reward from a Dungeon Instance or Secret Realm and put it up for auction. And, whether or not someone would sell this scroll at an auction house is completely unpredictable. I might come across several in one day, or not see a single one for a month or two.]
Lu Fan’s luck was obviously not very good, as he could not find a Pet Slot Expansion Scroll at either Dragon Capital University or the Prosperous Heaven Auction House.
Left with no choice, Lu Fan had to give up.
However, thinking about it, Lu Fan need not be in such a hurry to hatch the Blue Dragon King. After all, counting the two Undead Flying Dragons, Lu Fan now had five Pet Dragons, which was more than enough in terms of strength.
Moreover, Xing Chen was only Level 11 and had not reached her Growth Period yet.
In the future, Lu Fan needed to focus on nurturing Xing Chen to her Growth Period. [Once Xing Chen enters her Growth Period and can stand on her own, there will be plenty of time to cultivate a fourth Pet Dragon.]
For this trip to the National Trial Secret Realm, Lu Fan was definitely going to focus on cultivating Xing Chen. If he had a fourth Pet Dragon, Lu Fan would need to split the Experience Points between his two Baby Dragons, and in the end, he might end up trying to do two things at once and failing at both.
Two half-grown Baby Dragons would certainly not be as strong as one Dragon in its Growth Period.
Once a Pet Dragon grasped Form Transformation, the boost in Combat Power could not be compensated for by mere numbers.
After thinking it through, and knowing that he would not be able to hatch the Blue Dragon King before heading to the National Trial, Lu Fan no longer felt the urgent need to rush things.
He told Du Yaqiu that if the auction house came across any Pet Slot Expansion Scrolls or Dragon Language Magic Skill Books in the future, they must keep them for him, as he really needed them.
Du Yaqiu naturally would not refuse this honoured guest’s request, who had elevated the Prosperous Heaven Auction House to new heights. She directly agreed and even promised that the Prosperous Heaven Auction House would immediately set up a special notice to buy these two items at high prices, to prevent them from being bought by other auction houses if someone had them.
As for the price of buying these items, Lu Fan did not need to worry about that. The Prosperous Heaven Auction House would bear the cost themselves. At worst, it would be counted against Lu Fan’s monthly quota of taking one auction item.
In any case, Du Yaqiu definitely would not charge Lu Fan any additional cost.
Lu Fan did not stand on ceremony. He thanked Du Yaqiu and left the auction house.
After returning to Dragon Capital University, Lu Fan immediately learned the Magma Burst Skill Book, then found Jian Ying and took her to the VIP Arena for a good sparring session.
Against Jian Ying, Lu Fan naturally would not use overwhelmingly destructive Skills like Magma Burst.
Lu Fan sparred with Jian Ying just to try out his new weapon – the Flaming Meteor Sword.
Jian Ying simultaneously controlled five weapons, launching a storm of attacks against Lu Fan, while Lu Fan wielded the Flaming Meteor Sword with ease.
It had to be said that this sword was not only beautiful in appearance, but every time it was swung, the fire light on the blade would intently grow.
It felt superior to any weapon Lu Fan had ever used.
Although the Black Dragon Scale Greatsword was also a good piece of equipment, setting aside its Attributes, Lu Fan always felt it to be a bit sluggish when wielding it. It was far less agile and fluid than the Flaming Meteor Sword.
[Indeed, Senior Sister was right. The weapons most suitable for me are swords that are not too heavy or spears. The Black Dragon Scale Greatsword can basically be considered retired. When there’s time later, I should let Xiao Cui eat it to see if she is able to retain its Dragon Blood Armour Skill.]
The more Lu Fan used the Flaming Meteor Sword, the more comfortable he felt with it. However, this just meant a tougher time for Jian Ying.
As a Sword Tamer who had undergone her Second Profession Change, Jian Ying could simultaneously control five swords to attack, making her extremely strong offensively.
Despite this, Jian Ying’s attacks were easily neutralised by Lu Fan.
Even when Jian Ying used large-scale destructive Skills like Mountain Quake, Lu Fan could easily dodge each one. He would soon find opportunities to counterattack, forcing Jian Ying to constantly retreat to avoid being caught in close combat.
Although it looked like they were evenly matched, Jian Ying had basically used most of her weaker Skills but was still being suppressed by Lu Fan.
This suppression was not due to his superior Attributes, but purely overwhelming combat technique.
Jian Ying clearly knew that if Lu Fan wanted to, he could have defeated her many times during this sparring session.
They were just sparring lightly, and Jian Ying also had not used her stronger Skills, but she also knew that Lu Fan was holding back far more trump cards.
His combat technique was just the weakest amongst Lu Fan’s numerous trump cards.
Yet with his combat technique alone, Lu Fan could force her to use all her weaker Skills and still be at a disadvantage.
Jian Ying could only sigh at the fact that Lu Fan was simply a freak of nature.
Maybe even without Pet Dragons, Lu Fan could become an outstanding Swordsman based on his combat technique alone.
The existence of Pet Dragons raised Lu Fan’s combat potential to unlimited heights. Jian Ying believed that as the top student of North Cloud Province, even if her raw power was not as good as Lu Fan’s, her combat technique should not be that far behind him.
But after this round of sparring, Lu Fan thoroughly made Jian Ying realise the gap between them.
In the end, when they left the Arena, Lu Fan was refreshed and energetic, while Jian Ying was filled with frustration. She looked like someone who had been bullied but was unwilling to tell others about it. This made Tao Xiaoman extremely suspicious about whether the place they had just gone was really the Arena, and not somewhere else!
The day and a half of rest at Dragon Capital University quickly passed.
That night, Lu Fan had a good sleep, then got up to eat a farewell meal prepared by his Aunt. Afterwards, he said goodbye to everyone again.
Zhao Shengming personally came to Villa No. 2 to escort Lu Fan, who had packed his luggage, and left. Following the Shadow Guards, they rode in a luxury car to the Dragon Capital Airport, preparing to head to Golden Jade City in Extremistis Country.
The National Trial was finally about to officially begin!
