Chapter 103 Dragon Overlord
Fifteen minutes later, Achen set up a round table, which was filled with all the remaining delicacies from his storage ring.
Dumplings, green pepper and shredded pork rice bowl, fish hot pot, glutinous rice wine, cookies, and double-skin milk pudding.
He didn't take out the other kinds. Since the training wasn't over yet, and he had already given them all to the Lizard King, he would be starving from now on.
Even if they could find ingredients on the next floor, his and Aunt Lele's cooking skills were far inferior to their mother's, and even Uncle Bo and Hua Jingyishu's cooking skills were better than theirs.
Seeing that he had taken out so much stock at once in order to pass the test smoothly, Nie Xiaoxiao also gave the Lizard King a box of flower cakes.
When a demonic beast advances to a higher level, after surviving the heavenly tribulation, it usually enters a deep sleep to stabilize its realm. The Lizard King had eaten a human cultivator's meal more than a hundred years ago, after which he faced a sixth-order heavenly tribulation and fell into a deep sleep.
At this moment, he couldn't remember what the food he had eaten back then tasted like, but it was clearly no match for the feast in front of him.
"So humans actually possess such superb culinary skills. I am trapped in this fifth level of the Spirit Realm. I don't know when I will be able to taste delicious food again," the Lizard King sighed.
"Senior, don't you have a way to leave here?" Ah Chen asked.
"There is only one way, and that is to form a contract with the humans who come here for training and become their war beast," the Lizard King said.
"This is indeed too much to ask of a beast king like you," Ah Chen exclaimed.
"Little one, are you willing to make an equal contract with me?" the Lizard King suddenly asked, staring at him.
"Huh? Is this in accordance with the rules?" Achen hesitated. His fathead fish was a jealous person. If he dared to make a contract with another beast behind its back, it would definitely go berserk when it woke up.
"As long as it's consensual, no rules can bind us," the Lizard King said.
Achen quickly considered a few things. He knew that having the Lizard King by his side would greatly increase his chances of successfully completing the level.
Furthermore, high-level demonic beasts are inherently arrogant. Now that he has taken the initiative to propose a contract with them, if he dares to say no, what if he suddenly becomes beastly and devours them? Who can he complain to then?
When he brought Leng Qiuchan and Ni Zhiyong over before, they clearly didn't even have the ability to crush the teleportation jade talisman.
Thinking of this, he could only say to the fathead fish in his heart, "I'm sorry!"
“Senior, I am willing to sign an equal contract with you. If you wish to terminate the contract after you leave the Spirit Realm, I will grant you your freedom immediately,” Chu Liuyun said earnestly.
"Since I have agreed to make a contract with you, little one, I will surely protect you for the rest of your life."
"You humans have short lifespans. Even if you break through to the Heavenly Realm, you only have three thousand years of lifespan. I will not be stingy with these three thousand years," said the Lizard King.
Achen: Three thousand years? He'd be driven crazy by the fathead fish in three years, wouldn't he?
However, he was already in a precarious situation and had no time to regret it.
The Lizard King transformed into its true form and immediately condensed three drops of essence blood, which floated to Ah Chen's brow. Helpless, he could only condense three drops of essence blood in exchange.
Soon, the Lizard King raised his palm, and a huge sphere of light enveloped the man and the beast.
Ancient golden runes lit up, and six drops of blood essence mingled in the air before separating and sinking into the foreheads of the human and the beast. The runes then disappeared into the bodies of the human and the beast.
When the light faded, the contract was formed, and an extremely close relationship was established between the human and the beast.
At that moment, the fathead fish suddenly opened its eyes, and in a fit of rage, it transformed into its original form, emitting angry "whimpering" sounds at the lizard king.
"Little brat, you actually made a contract with a Kunpeng cub? Once I devour it, I'll definitely be able to break through to the eighth rank in one fell swoop!" the Lizard King exclaimed excitedly.
"No! From the day I made the contract with my fathead fish, I swore to live and die together."
Furthermore, I have entered into an equal contract with it. If it hurts me, I will feel pain; if it dies, I will also suffer the backlash of the contract and be severely injured.
My senior and I made an equal contract. If either party violates the contract and actively harms the other, they will suffer severe consequences from the contract.
If you insist on harming my fathead fish, then I will definitely use the power of the contract to fight to the death and severely injure you!
"And my friends will kill our predecessor after I die, to avenge me and Fathead Fish!" Ah Chen stared at him coldly.
"Are you an idiot? You finally got a divine beast cub, and instead of taking the opportunity to establish a master-servant contract, you want to establish an equal contract with her?" the Lizard King asked, puzzled.
“My mother once raised a pet that ate iron, and there was never a contract between them. It was a member of our family.”
The reason I made a contract with the fathead fish is because when I met it, I was still a baby, and it was also a newly hatched baby.
Without a contract, it would be taken away by someone else, which is why the fathead fish took the initiative to enter into an equal contract with me.
In my eyes, it is my companion, not a war beast that I can enslave.
As for you, senior, the reason I agreed to form a contract with you was simply to give you the opportunity to leave the spirit realm and enjoy your favorite food outside, nothing more.
Ah Chen's expression was very serious. The Lizard King began to believe that everything he said was serious, and that he was not trying to scare or deceive him.
In fact, the Lizard King doesn't trust humans very much. The reason he chose to contract with Achen is simply because he's a child and easy to manipulate.
Only then did he truly begin to value him.
This child is willing to risk his life for his contracted beast, so when he grows up, he will surely become his support.
As long as he protects him and helps him grow up safely, with his talent, reaching the Heavenly Realm is something to look forward to.
On the contrary, although he is already at the sixth level, the advancement of demonic beasts is slow. By the time Achen breaks through to the Heavenly Questioning Realm, he can only break through to the seventh level at most.
At that point, he might need Ah Chen, his master, to protect him.
"Hehe, I was just joking with this cub. Now that we're all family, I won't hold a grudge against a cub in the future."
"But you'd better keep an eye on it, don't let it bar its teeth at me all day long," the Lizard King said.
"Hmph! My name is Xingyao. You lowly lizard, what makes you think you can compete with me for Achen?" the fathead fish said angrily.
"Xingyao, listen to me. It's against the rules for me to carry you through the game. Now I need to rely on the help of a senior to clear the game."
Furthermore, you are at level five, while the senior is at level six. If you fight the senior now, you will definitely be at a disadvantage.
So, be a good girl and go back to sleep, okay?
"Maybe after you wake up from your nap, you'll break through to the sixth rank, and then even the senior will only be able to fight you to a draw," Ah Chen coaxed it.
After much persuasion, they finally convinced the fathead fish, which then transformed into a pendant and hung around his neck before angrily going back to sleep.
After dismissing the fathead fish, the Lizard King said, "Little one, even that Kunpeng cub has a name. I also want a human name. Help me think of a majestic one."
“In my mother’s hometown, there is a giant beast called Tyrannosaurus Rex. How about you call yourself Dragon Overlord?” Achen said perfunctorily.
"Long Batian? Not bad, not bad. It has one more character than that Kunpeng cub. This name also sounds much better than its Xingyao Weifeng."
The Lizard King nodded in satisfaction. Oh no, he was now Dragon Overlord.
The other four looked at each other, wanting to laugh but not daring to, each bowing their heads and shrugging their shoulders, struggling to hold it in.
