CHAPTER 545: CHAPTER 2: DRAGON PULLING TEST

Yun Luo looked up and saw a person with a long, narrow face and thin features, exuding an air of mean-spiritedness,

She furrowed her brows, clearly disliking the visitor, and couldn’t even bother to exchange more words with him.

The current president of Yunhu Commerce is Yun Luo’s grandfather, Yun Shangjun, who has six children. Yun Luo’s father is the eldest son, but tragically, he and his wife both died in a mishap during a business trip years ago.

The remaining members include two sons and three daughters, with all three daughters married off. Currently, only the third son, Yun Kun, and the sixth son, Yun Lang, stay within Yunhu Commerce.

Although the sixth son, Yun Lang, is a talented individual, he is solely devoted to studying Holy Runes and has no interest in taking over the family business. Thus, the third son, Yun Kun, naturally assumes that Yunhu Commerce will eventually be inherited by his own family.

Unexpectedly, since Yun Luo lost her parents at a young age and grew up beside Yun Shangjun, she became increasingly involved, and with her natural intelligence and unique insights in business, Yun Shangjun might indeed have considered her as a successor if not for her frequent illnesses.

This turned Yun Luo into a constant thorn in the side for Yun Kun and his only son, Yun Shan, who targeted her relentlessly.

Facing constant exclusion in the Imperial City, Yun Luo, in a fit of anger, took up a task to escort a Dark Beast Egg and left.

This time, hearing about the failure of the mercenary’s mission to escort the Dark Beast Egg commissioned by Yun Luo, Yun Kun and his son could hardly hide their satisfaction, taking this opportunity to give Yun Luo a hard time, hoping to remove her directly from the family.

The person who stepped up to obstruct Yun Luo was her cousin, Yun Shan.

He’s a typical rich young master, proficient in eating, drinking, gambling, and visiting brothels, with barely passable Dark Skill cultivation.

"You are clearly in the wrong, so you dare not speak," said that sharp-tongued young man as he stepped forward unapologetically, blocking Yun Luo’s path with his left foot.

Teng Wu, seeing this, was about to step forward to intervene, but he received a significant look from Yun Luo.

Though puzzled, Teng Wu backed off out of trust in Yun Luo, but his sharp eyes were locked onto Yun Shan, on guard.

Yun Luo smiled and walked towards Yun Shan, her shoulder tilting subtly, seemingly unintentionally bumping into Yun Shan.

Yun Luo was merely a frail girl without any Dark Energy, and although Yun Shan was only poorly adept in Jade Profound, he still considered himself much stronger than her.

Seeing Yun Luo bumping towards him, Yun Shan was not on his guard.

Ever since Yun Luo started learning the Nine Revolutions Star Creation Technique from Yue Jinghua, her physique had gradually strengthened.

Pity that she hadn’t cultivated Dark Energy from a young age like Yue Jinghua. Now at sixteen, her body and foundational cultivation were well established, making it difficult for her Dark Skill to breakthrough any further.

Yue Jinghua, considering her condition, advised her to give up cultivating Dark Skill and instead practice spiritual power, which is more covert and rarer on the continent.

As a Tattoo Master, Yun Luo’s spiritual power was already stronger than most, and with guidance from Yue Jinghua, before leaving the Five Saints Town, Yue Jinghua specifically taught her a set of spiritual power attack techniques called "Divine Stab."

Yun Luo diligently practiced along the way, and secretly tested it a few times, but only on creatures as small as birds or Dark Beasts, never on humans. Since Yun Shan was so aggressively seeking trouble, she certainly wouldn’t "mistreat" this unwanted lab-rat that had come knocking at her door.

As Yun Luo stumbled towards Yun Shan, a surge of spiritual power quietly emanated from her body.

Spiritual power silently infiltrated Yun Shan’s body, more peculiar than any hidden weapon.

Caught off guard, Yun Shan felt a buzzing in his head, not understanding what was happening; he crashed into a nearby wall, dizzied and disoriented. Before Yun Shan could react further, he wiped his face and a front tooth fell into his hand.

Yun Luo also didn’t expect that her first attempt would successfully subdue Yun Shan, who had cultivated the Jade Profound.

Her eyes rolling, she suddenly screamed and fell to the ground, looking utterly weak.

"What is going on here?" A majestic male voice came from the side. The president of Yunhu Commerce, Yun Shangjun, saw Yun Luo collapse and looked pale.

"Grandfather, Yun Luo ambushed me," Yun Shan hurriedly tried to complain.

Yun Shangjun’s face turned purple with anger, he snorted, "With her frail body, how could she ambush you? To hear those words from you."

After speaking, he helped Yun Luo up, showing a face full of concern and care.

Yun Shan, covering his mouth, stuttered, but he himself couldn’t clarify how he, a Jade Profound cultivator, was thrown into confusion by someone so frail.

Yun Luo’s eyes were downcast, yet the corners of her mouth involuntarily twitched. Teng Wu, who was watching, was surprised as well, thinking that the young miss had learned quite a few tricks from Yue Jinghua after spending time with her.

Yun Kun, the father of Yun Shan, seeing this, signaled Yun Shan to stay quiet. He pondered for a moment, "Dad, it’s good that Yun Luo has returned, but we can no longer delay matters with the Dragon Egg."

Upon hearing this, Yun Shangjun’s face changed slightly, and his hand supporting Yun Luo unconsciously loosened.

"Dad, you don’t realize how important this batch of Dark Beast Eggs is to our commerce, including a Dragon Egg among them. The Empire has already selected this Dark Beast Egg as one of the potential candidates for the Dragon Pulling Test, but you lost the dragon. You don’t know how hard I’ve worked to find another suitable Dragon Egg to replace it—I’ve asked so many people, but unfortunately, I haven’t found a suitable egg for the Dragon Pulling Test," Yun Kun said, his face showing difficulty, but the corners of his mouth involuntarily rose, his gaze darkening as he looked at Yun Luo.

"Dragon Pulling Test?" Yun Luo knew that something must have happened during her absence.

"Grandfather, don’t worry, I’ve already brought back the Dragon Egg, and it has already hatched," Yun Luo said coldly, glancing at the drastically changing expressions of Yun Family father and son.

She then invited Yun Shangjun and the Yun Family father and son outside, placing her hand on the Dragon Pattern and murmuring incantations.

With a long cry of a Jiao Long, Ji Xuechen, resembling a small hill, appeared before everyone.

Looking at the Black Dragon exhaling white breath, with deep green pupils, everyone was dumbfounded.

"This... this is a Black Dragon," Yun Family father and son exclaimed, not expecting that Yun Luo had not only retrieved the Dragon Egg but also brought back a black-colored Jiao Long.

Among Sub-Asian Dragons, blue, green, red, and black—with Black Dragons having the highest lineage—the Black Flood Dragon in front of them, although looking quite similar to a Black Dragon, its five-colored wings on its back highlighted its extraordinary identity.

"No, this is not just a Black Dragon, this is a Colorful Dragon that has been extinct on the continent for many years. This Dragon Pulling Test will be exceptionally splendid," Yun Shangjun, a man of vast knowledge, said with bright eyes, his previous unease turning into pride as he nodded appreciatively, "Luoluo, you have done well this time. Tell grandfather, what reward do you want?"

"Grandfather, when doing things for the family, Luoluo does not need any reward. I just want to introduce you to someone. In a few days, he will come to the Imperial City," Yun Luo coyly grasped her grandfather’s hand, chirping like a little bird, sharing her experiences from her recent travels.
