Cheng Huaijin had a feeling of absurdity.

This dragon egg evolved from Greenleaf Limebo. Limebo was Cheng Huaijin's second pet, but in a true sense, it wasn't her pet.

Bobo formed a contract with Cheng Huaijin to prove himself to Xu Xingxi. Later, Cheng Huaijin and Bobo took the supplementary entrance exam together. Bobo worked very hard to help Cheng Huaijin win the scholarship competition, but shattered at the last moment, almost killing Cheng Huaijin. Fortunately, with the help of Tengyun Crane, the fragments condensed into a dragon egg, which Cheng Huaijin carefully nurtured and, with the help of many good things and a large amount of energy, leveled up to the maximum level.

Looking back, it's been Cheng Huaijin's partner since the beginning. The dragon egg took so long to hatch, and so much happened during that time that Cheng Huaijin almost forgot about the dragon egg that had been hidden in her pet space.

At this very moment, at the live broadcast of the Chinese High School Beast Taming League, the dragon egg is about to hatch? The dragon is about to break out of its shell?

This...this...

Unable to suppress the dragon egg's energy, Cheng Huaijin had no choice but to shout, "I concede and request a pause in the match!"

Before she could finish speaking and return the Thunder Sprite to her pet space, a green light shot out from the wrist mark and surrounded Cheng Huaijin.

The green light is refreshing and natural, pleasing to the eye and invigorating to the senses.

The green light began to rotate around the area, and the incense powder was absorbed by the green light.

As Cheng Huaijin conceded defeat, the protective shield of the arena fell. A beam of green light shot out and flew into the audience, where people smelled the natural scent and felt a surge of emotion.

Meanwhile, the Jolteon and Flame Wolf, who had been seriously injured in the arena, regained their strength and were fully healed in the green light.

Then, green flowers bloomed around Cheng Huaijin's green light, followed by golden flowers, blue flowers, red flowers, brown flowers, white flowers, purple flowers, and finally crystal-like flowers and deep black flowers.

People dared not utter a sound, but the excitement hidden in their eyes was palpable.

Seeing Cheng Huaijin's strange behavior across from him, Cheng Woyu's teeth chattered, his face flushed red, and his eyes were filled with jealousy, resentment, and fear...

"What, what's going on? Could it be..." the host asked in surprise.

The narrator's lips trembled: "I've only ever seen such a scene in books—green light, nine-colored flowers. Light imbued with the breath of life, a messenger of life—"

Cheng Huaijin was facing a small green dragon amidst the green light.

This is an Eastern dragon. It has a horse's head and a snake's body, hovering in the air without wings. Its green scales are as smooth as silk, and its flowing whiskers move without wind... It's very majestic and imposing!

If it weren't only the size of Cheng Huaijin's palm, Cheng Huaijin would probably be quite shocked.

Cheng Huaijin compared it to his own palm, and said, "Yes, it really is small."

It's okay, small ones are cute too!

"Mumu~" Mulong spoke, his voice soft and sweet, like a child's.

With a thought, Cheng Huaijin focused his consciousness into the mark on his wrist.

Pet: Wooden Dragon

Stage: Infancy

Age: 1 year old

Level: 1/?

Skills: Energy Devour, Energy Conversion, Touch of Life, Seed of Life, Dragon's Breath, Nature's Guardian, Nature's Wrath, Life Link, Healing Green Light, Bark Armor, Life Domain, Healing Rain

Thirteen skills?!

Just as Cheng Huaijin was in shock, the green light dissipated.

Everyone saw a majestic dragon coiled behind Cheng Huaijin, the black-haired girl's long hair moving without wind, and the dragon behind her letting out a deafening roar.

Facing the dragon's roar, Cheng Woyu was blown off balance by the strong wind and half-knelt on the ground, looking up at the giant dragon with resentment.

A dragon! It's a dragon!!!

Why, why wasn't I the one who got the dragon?!

Cheng Woyu wanted to roar and shout, but the emotion was stuck in his throat. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood that was so red it was almost black.

Cheng Huaijin was completely unaware that Cheng Woyu was vomiting blood. She turned her head to look at the giant dragon, her face filled with amazement.

...How did it suddenly get so big!

"It's just an illusion." Mu Long's childish voice echoed in Cheng Huaijin's mind.

Cheng Huaijin stared wide-eyed in surprise.

The wooden dragon continued speaking in Cheng Huaijin's mind: "Little Cheng, let me give them a taste of their own medicine first. I'm not someone to be trifled with, hmph! But maintaining this illusion requires energy, so I estimate it can last for a little while. Remember to take me back when it's done~"

Having figured out Mu Long's plan, Cheng Huaijin calmly said to the referee's table, "Referee, may we continue the match?"

Just then, the timer went off, and the pause ended.

I love the live broadcast area of ​​the Beast Taming Network Middle School League.

【…What the heck?】

[A dragon? There's a dragon at the scene?]

[It's still the Eastern Dragon!!! Holy crap!!!]

Wow, so handsome!

[This is insane! She actually wants to compete again? Hahahaha!]

Is there even a need to compete? We're guaranteed to win!

[We've witnessed history! It really is an Eastern dragon!]

[Didn't they say they've been extinct for a long time? I remember the last one recorded was a Thunder Dragon?]

I never imagined I'd see an Eastern dragon in my lifetime...

The StarNet was in an uproar. Departments, organizations, institutions, and financial groups with more or less connections to Cheng Huaijin, such as the Beast Tamer Alliance China Region, the China Pet Beast Protection Association, the China Beast Taming Administration Bureau, the Yaotian Consortium Headquarters, and the Oriental Beast Taming Group Headquarters, all sprang into action.

In no time, everyone associated with Cheng Huaijin was thoroughly investigated.

Cheng Huaijin's information wasn't a secret to begin with. Previously, due to her low status and low-key behavior, even though she had won several championships, it was just minor stuff at the student level, and she wasn't taken seriously by these important figures. But this time, the reappearance of the Eastern Dragon, which hadn't been seen for a century, during the national live broadcast was truly astonishing. Cheng Huaijin instantly became the focus of attention for beast tamers all over the world, and even many ancient Eastern pet enthusiasts from other planets were eager to know more about Cheng Huaijin.

That's an Eastern Dragon! One of the seven ancient mythical beasts of Earth! A wooden dragon symbolizing the element of life! Inheriting ancient and mysterious life magic! Participating in the great war against the invasion of void creatures! A hero to all living beings on Earth!

...However, at this very moment, Cheng Huaijin actually wants to continue participating in this small-scale Chinese middle school Beast Taming League?

Cheng Huaijin remembered that Mu Long had said there wasn't much time left, and immediately said, "For the third match, Mu Long will fight!"
