Chapter 351 Ten Thousand Dragons Pool_2
Auspicious Tailor Shop.
This was an old tailor shop that had stood in Dragon Emperor Giant City for nearly eighty years, its longevity not due to craftsmanship but due to funding from above.
An elderly tailor lay on a rocking chair in the sun with a book covering his face.
A customer walked in and tapped on the desk.
Ding, ding-ding, ding-ding-ding.
The old tailor drawled, "What kind of garment would you like to have tailored?"
"Two sets of winter Tang suits."
Once the coded message matched, the old tailor removed the book from his face.
Looking at Chen Xing, "Has the customer prepared the deposit?"
Chen Xing took a thick envelope from his chest and placed it on the desk.
"How many days will it take to be ready?"
After a moment of reflection, the old tailor said, "Approximately 15-20 days."
Chen Xing shook his head, "Too slow, I need it done in ten days."
"Ten days," the old tailor hesitated.
It wasn't that it couldn't be done so quickly, but that usually, ordinary people didn't have the authorization.
Some things required internal channels.
"Tell your employer, I need it done in ten days, he knows who I am," Chen Xing said indifferently, then left the tailor shop.
After Chen Xing had left, the old tailor picked up the envelope from the desk and went inside to open it.
After reading the contents and seeing a distinctive miniature seal, his expression turned grave.
He immediately shook a small bell.
Soon, a golden mouse emerged from beneath a bookshelf nearby, grabbed the envelope, and scurried out through a hole.
...
The news that Chen Xing had won the championship under the Transcendence competition group at the Ten Thousand Dragons Assembly had already spread within the city.
Chen Xing had not concealed his identity during registration, so now many people knew that Chen Xing came from Great Xia.
Though it drew some attention, compared to the Transcendence competition group, the impact of the group beneath it was limited.
After all, a genius who hasn't reached maturity, much like how many overlook the youth group in competitions.
Another synonym for genius is an unripe powerhouse.
Being unripe, there was a chance of falling prematurely.
History was not short of messages about brilliantly talented geniuses who fell midway.
So, the real impact fell only on this batch of participants and their relatives and friends involved.
But this was also beneficial for Chen Xing.
It spared him a lot of trouble, his slot had been secured, and his Beast Taming had been publicly taken away by a senior of the Dragon Emperor Giant City, now he was openly present in the city, under the protection of a Transcendence tier of the Dragon Clan bodyguard.
Speculations abounded privately, many guessing that Chen Xing's Beast Taming had caught the eye of some important figure in Dragon Emperor Giant City.
Thus, no one troubled Chen Xing.
Perhaps, this was also the will of the elder Radiant Light Silver Dragon.
Within the territory of Dragon Emperor Giant City, not many forces dared to trouble Chen Xing at the risk of offending Dragon Emperor Giant City.
The least happy was Ironhead; he had expected a battle, but instead, the day passed peacefully without anyone troubling their VIP guest.
"Please follow me, Mr. Guest," Ironhead guided Chen Xing to their destination.
The destination was right within the city.
"The Ten Thousand Dragons Pool is actually inside the city?" Chen Xing was a bit surprised.
Ironhead nodded and then shook his head.
When Chen Xing followed Ironhead to Ten Thousand Dragons Pool, he finally understood why Ironhead had nodded and then shaken his head.
Because the Ten Thousand Dragons Pool was situated in a fixed half-space.
What is a half-space.
If Dimensional Space is another small world entirely disconnected from the main plane, with a door between them that requires a key for entrance or exit,
then a half-space is attached to the main plane and has no door separating it!
It could be likened to having a tunnel built after carving a hole in a wall.
One could freely enter or exit the half-space just by being near the entrance.
Through the semi-space, Chen Xing saw a huge pool.
The area of the pool was vast, with white mist rising and the water shimmering with a faint red hue.
Faint, illusory dragon shadows could be seen floating above the Ten Thousand Dragons Pool.
These dragon shadows seemed to have no consciousness, aimlessly drifting around.
"Master, I'm here."
Dong Jun was waving from not far away.
His position was very forward, with the Great Sunlight Silver Dragon right behind him.
Chen Xing casually opened Dong Jun's panel and saw an extra parenthesis in Dong Jun's state bar.
[State] Healthy (Receiving inheritance)
The state bar indicated healthy.
And receiving an inheritance was a good thing.
It seemed that this old dragon was quite generous, rightly so because of blood ties.
If there were no blood ties, it probably wouldn't be so generous.
While Chen Xing's mind was wandering.
He heard someone in front say, The Ten Thousand Dragons Pool is open.
Then, dragons of various forms flew into it.
"Remember, absorb as much as you can. The Ten Thousand Dragons Pool only works the first time for each dragon; the longer you can hold on, the better, just hold on as long as you can," the Great Sunlight Silver Dragon repeatedly admonished.
"Yes, yes." Dong Jun kept nodding.
Chen Xing performed the Unity of Heavenly Aspects to enter Dong Jun's body, then Dong Jun flew into the Ten Thousand Dragons Pool.
Upon entering the Ten Thousand Dragons Pool, the dragon-shaped illusions wandering in the void seemed to be attracted, flying around Dong Jun.
"Start absorbing now." Chen Xing told Dong Jun.
The fact that Beast Tamers from all over the world flocked here proved that the Ten Thousand Dragons Pool was definitely not just famous for its name.
It absolutely had to be a place of great benefit to attract so many Dragon Element Beast Tamers.
The Ten Thousand Dragons Pool was vast; even with so many giant dragons, it didn't seem crowded.
And the depth of this pool was deeper than imagined.
Dong Jun closed his eyes and dived toward the depths, only reaching the bottom after three to four hundred meters.
The bottom was covered with coarse black sand of uneven sizes: the smallest grains were the size of sesame seeds, and the largest were as big as walnuts.
Dong Jun closed his eyes, then suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Master, this isn't water surrounding us."
"Not water?"
"Definitely not water." Dong Jun could confirm, although moving through the Ten Thousand Dragons Pool felt like resistance, this resistance definitely didn't come from water.
If it's not water, then what is it?
At that moment, a figure rapidly approached from the side.
Dong Jun warily glanced at the approaching Back Mountain Rock Dragon.
"It's me." Qiu Wanshan's voice came from the back of the Back Mountain Rock Dragon.
"Congratulations on winning the champion of the Ten Thousand Dragons Pool," Qiu Wanshan leapt off the back of the Back Mountain Rock Dragon and said to Chen Xing with a smile.
Seeing Chen Xing just looking at him nonchalantly, Qiu Wanshan thought for a moment and guessed Chen Xing's thoughts, "Don't worry, this Ten Thousand Dragons Pool is quite special; it can block detection, and outsiders can't hear our conversation."
"What is the method you mentioned?" Chen Xing asked directly.
"Straight to the point." Qiu Wanshan heartily said, "I have two Spatial Crystals, using Spatial Crystals can let us quickly leave the Dragon King's Tomb."
After saying that, he handed Chen Xing a Spatial Crystal.
Looking at the Spatial Crystal in his hand, then at the crystal in Qiu Wanshan's hand, Chen Xing suddenly said, "Yours looks newer, how about we swap?"
Qiu Wanshan was stunned for a moment, then laughed and heartily switched the Spatial Crystals in his hand with the one in Chen Xing's. "Actually, both are the same; I really have no need to harm you."
Seeing how straightforward Qiu Wanshan was, Chen Xing pondered in his heart—it might just be his overthinking.

Because Spatial Crystals are quite special as they generally fix to a specific place.
Using it can transport you to a set area, so it's best not to use a strange Spatial Crystal casually.
Otherwise, you might unknowingly end up somewhere unexpected.
"I do have one question, though. Since you have a Spatial Crystal, you could go by yourself, so why call me? And with only one crystal, how would I return if I used it?"
"That actually brings up an important fact, which is the origin of the Ten Thousand Dragons Pool, why it has such great effects, even able to evolve the quality of beasts. Because these waters of the Ten Thousand Dragons Pool come from the countless giant dragons that have died."
