Godly Student Chapter 114

There was a saying that every ownerless treasure would always have a spiritual creature or object protecting it. Looking at the flood dragon staring at Cheng Yu as if he was a tiger watching his prey, Cheng Yu could only laugh bitterly. Cheng Yu lifted up his head and saw that it had not grown its horn yet, so he knew that this flood dragon was still not mature. The flood dragon was most likely waiting for the Spirit Origin Fruit to fully mature so it could consume the fruit to speed up its own growth.

Currently, its strength should be around the Core Formation Realm or below. The reason why it had not finished growing yet was because it was waiting for the fruit to mature so that it would be able to break through its bottleneck easily.

If its strength had yet to mature, it would be the best scenario for Cheng Yu because it would mean that this flood dragon was, at most, in the Foundation Establishment Realm late stage. If it had already fully grown and was waiting for the fruit to mature before consuming it, it would be troublesome as its strength would be at least at the Foundation Establishment Realm peak stage!

The reason why Cheng Yu did not bother to wait until the fruit was fully ripe was because the period for the fruit to fully ripen was one thousand years. From the looks of it, the fruit would need at least another 100 years before it was fully ripe. As beasts had long lifespans, they would usually wait until the fruit had fully ripened before consuming them. This would be beneficial for their future cultivation instead of just their immediate cultivation.

However, Cheng Yu did not have that luxury. There was still a Kunlun Sect who kept on monitoring him and would strike at any time. In addition, after his national exam, he would enter the cultivation world to make a name for himself. Even if this fruit had not fully ripened, just the acc.u.mulation of heaven's spiritual Qi for several hundred years was sufficient for Cheng Yu to breakthrough to Foundation Establishment Realm peak stage. Even if he was not able to breakthrough to the Core Formation Realm, he would definitely not be far from it. So, Cheng Yu was not willing to wait until the fruit had fully ripened.

"Brother, this tree is so big. There are at least 90 fruits, if not 100. I am only taking one. Can you not be so fierce?" If Cheng Yu could settle this peacefully, Cheng Yu did not wish to battle it out with this big beast.

All monstrous beasts were very fierce and tough, especially flood dragons. If their cultivation met a certain point, they would become a true dragon, and their body's const.i.tution would become extremely tough. Furthermore, looking at this flood dragon, Cheng Yu was able to tell that its strength was not weak, and its cultivation was even higher than his, causing Cheng Yu to feel nervous.

It was evident that the flood dragon did not wish to share the fruits that it had been protecting for hundreds of years with others as it opened its mouth and roared. The dragon tail that was hidden beneath the water spattered out and smacked the water, causing a water snake to be formed that charged towards Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu cursed and quickly evaded. The water snake ran into the mountain wall behind him. Immediately, a rumbling sound was produced as it exploded.

However, just as Cheng Yu was about to stand up straight, a long dragon tail had already started swinging towards him. Once again, Cheng Yu leapt to avoid it. The dragon tail smashed into the wall, causing the rocks to be crushed into small pieces. It was sufficient to show the degree of toughness on its body.

When Cheng Yu saw that the flood dragon was actually so ruthless, he took out his flying sword as he chopped at the dragon's head. The flood dragon slanted its head and used the top of its head to block the flying sword. A "Ding!" sound echoed as the flying sword flew back, and the flood dragon was still perfectly fine.

"D*mn it! What kind of lousy flying sword is this?! Although the flood dragon's body is strong, it is only at the Foundation Establishment Realm. Even after I chopped at his head, it did not even leave a wound behind! Kunlun is so disappointing. Do they only use this flying sword as a transport method?!"

Although the flood dragon did not get hurt, it was still able to feel pain. It snarled and opened its mouth. Poisonous saliva dripped out from its teeth and flew towards Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu dodged quickly. The flowers and plants behind him were splashed with the poison, which instantly corroded to the point where not even a single leaf was left behind.

When Cheng Yu saw the dragon tail flying towards him again, he leapt into the sky and jumped towards the flood dragon's back. The flood dragon quickly swung itself randomly and tried to fling Cheng Yu away.

However, Cheng Yu grabbed its back tightly and circulated his Qi. He used a palm strike, causing a big white fist to imprint itself on the back of the flood dragon. The flood dragon cried out as it hurriedly dove into the water. However, Cheng Yu still did not let go as he continuously pounded his fist on the flood dragon's back.

The flood dragon rolled painfully inside the water. Just as Cheng Yu was beating the flood dragon to his heart's content, he suddenly felt a scorching pain on his face and there were signs of his face being corroded. Cheng Yu mumbled "Sh*t!" and quickly let go of the flood dragon as he flew out of the water.

Once he left the water, Cheng Yu quickly used his spiritual Qi to protect his body from corroding, "D*mn it! This beast is really smart. He actually knew how to put his poison into the water. Luckily, I managed to react quickly. Otherwise, this handsome face of mine would definitely be disfigured."

When Cheng Yu saw the flood dragon flying towards him again, he quickly punched out. The fist collided with the flood dragon's body. The impact caused Cheng Yu to fall back several feet as he bled from the corner of his mouth. "F*ck*r! I only want a fruit. Must you really oppose me at all cost?! Time for me to take good care of you!"

Cheng Yu once again stood on top of his flying sword as he poured a large amount of spiritual Qi into it. The flying sword s.h.i.+ned with white lights. In an instant, the strength of the sword grew by a hundredfold as Cheng Yu chopped down towards the flood dragon's head again.

The flood dragon turned his body away. The incoming flying sword was coated with spiritual Qi as it flew. It immediately cleaved opened the back of the flood dragon, causing a large wound to open up. The flood dragon howled in grief, and it swept its body towards Cheng Yu once again.

As Cheng Yu was controlling the sword with his Qi, he basically did not expect this beast would actually attack him even after it got injured. As it was too late for him to evade, Cheng Yu got swept by the dragon's tail. "Bam!" Cheng Yu collided with the wall causing debris to fall onto the floor.

"Motherf*ck*r! Must you be so ruthless?!" Cheng Yu spit out a huge volume of blood and felt the blood and Qi in his body surging. He quickly took out a Soul Strengthening Pill and swallowed it down in order to replenish his vitality.

Cheng Yu took out a Qi Recovering Pill and consumed it as well. Immediately, the emptied spiritual Qi in his body started recovering. When Cheng Yu saw the flood dragon charging towards him again, he released a large amount of spiritual Qi and roared! A large dragon was formed in front of Cheng Yu by using of spiritual Qi as it flew towards the flood dragon.

The flood dragon was stunned when it saw the true dragon in front of it. It suddenly let out a frightened look and tried to withdraw. However, the true dragon was dancing in the sky. With a roar, it charged and attacked the flood dragon. "Bang!" The flood dragon was sent flying off. However, this time, the flood dragon did not counter attack, but instead it just laid flat on the ground and its body was s.h.i.+vering!

Cheng Yu saw that the beast had finally been beaten into obedience, so he felt delighted as he advanced to the flood dragon.

However, after walking for a few steps, the flood dragon lifted up its head and looked at Cheng Yu. It once again shot forward. Cheng Yu felt something was wrong and dodged. Just as Cheng Yu landed on the ground, the dragon tail hit Cheng Yu and sent him flying ferociously.

"The f*ck?! You actually dare to make a fool of me?!" Cheng Yu spat out blood once again and felt that his internal organs had almost jolted out. This time, Cheng Yu was truly angered. Originally, when he saw the flood dragon had become frightened, he wanted to try to subdue it. But he never expected this beast to be so deceitful and plot against him. Cheng Yu once again swallowed a Qi Recovering Pill.

A true dragon larger than the flood dragon appeared in the sky once more. The true dragon hissed before roaring. The roar resounded through the air, and the ground started shaking.

When the flood dragon saw the true dragon dancing around in the sky, the flood dragon that was prepared to deliver a fatal blow at Cheng Yu actually laid down on the ground and started to s.h.i.+ver.

Looking at this display, Cheng Yu finally understood. The flood dragon was one of the sub-branches of a dragon, and as it had not entered metamorphosis yet, when it saw a true dragon in front of it, the flood dragon would feel afraid.

Although this true dragon was formed using Cheng Yu's spiritual Qi, the flood dragon was born with a natural instinct to be afraid of a true dragon. This kind of fear was coming from the depth of its soul.

After Cheng Yu figured out what was going on, he no longer beat it and allowed the true dragon to continue to dance in the sky. Once again, Cheng Yu slowly advanced towards the flood dragon. However, this time the flood dragon did not attack as it continued to s.h.i.+ver.

"You, beast, are truly ruthless. I only wanted a fruit. With so many fruits here, even if you ate all of them, it would not bring any benefits for you. Do you have to go as far as throwing your life into guarding it?" Cheng Yu used his hands to pat the flood dragon's head. The flood dragon opened up his eyes and looked at Cheng Yu. It was obvious that there was a trace of fear, and it also felt a little aggrieved.

The Spiritual Origin Fruit would only ripen after 1000 years, but that did not mean that you can continue using the fruit to breakthrough. As long as Cheng Yu ate one, he would be able to breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm peak stage. If he ate all of them, wouldn't he be able to soar straight to heaven?

This fruit could only be eaten once. After that, it would basically be considered a tonic or fruit. The fruit has a rich amount of spiritual Qi, and if one consumed lots of them, it would be able to improve the body's const.i.tution. However, the more one ate, the less effective it became.

Inevitably, the world's heavenly treasure had its own mystical and special benefits. To possess heavenly laws was the same as defying heaven's will. To be able to have a fortuitous encounter was already incomparably lucky. If one still wished to wait for fortuitous encounters to continue happening, it was really just indulging themselves in fantasy.

Cheng Yu looked at the fruits on the tree and truly wished to bring them back home. However, it still was not the time for it to be fully ripe. It would be safer to leave them here.

"Xiao Jiao[1], are you willing to accept me as your master?" The flood dragon was obviously able to understand Cheng Yu's words. When it heard Cheng Yu calling it "Xiao Jiao," it immediately felt resentful. However, when he saw the true dragon in the sky, it nodded its head in a well-behaved manner.
