Free Web NovelChapter 293: Chapter 222: Transformation Technique
Nearly twenty days had passed since Egg Pancake unlocked the Energy Compression Technique. It had been training hard all this time, and its Physical Strength had improved significantly. Although its body hadn’t grown larger, the density of its flesh and blood had become immense. Walking around was like driving dozens of steamrollers at once. Even with its Gravity Talent helping to reduce its weight, the ground would still collapse beneath it whenever it crossed a patch of loose soil.
’Akatos is a Monarch Level dragon. His understanding of how the Dragon Race applies its innate bloodline powers must be far beyond Egg Pancake’s. If we could just meet him and get some pointers, it would definitely shorten the time Egg Pancake needs to break through to the Lord Level.’
With this in mind, Han Ning’s gaze swept over.

"How much Purgatory Red Lotus do you need? What is it for?"
Since the meeting with Akatos was still up in the air, Han Ning didn’t agree right away.
Purgatory Red Lotus was a rather precious Lord Level material, typically used for the breakthroughs or evolutions of Fire and Earth Type Soul Beasts.
’This place is full of green plants, and the Wood Type Spiritual Energy is exceptionally abundant. Fire Type Soul Beasts are rare here. Qing Fan’s Soul Beast is unlikely to be Fire Type; it’s probably an Earth Type.’
"A piece about the size of a palm will be enough," Qing Fan said, a sheepish smile on his reptilian face. He glanced at his own hand, which was larger than a casserole dish, and then pointed to Han Ning’s palm to indicate the size he meant.
’A piece the size of my palm... that’s not too much. Egg Pancake would need a piece of Purgatory Red Lotus the size of its head to break through... ’
Han Ning made a quick comparison in his head, then nodded and said,
"Alright. But I can only give you the Purgatory Red Lotus after I’ve met Lord Akatos."
"No problem." Qing Fan grinned, revealing rows of sharp fangs. It was a rather menacing sight.
"To see Lord Akatos, I must inform his Guardian in advance. Please excuse me for a moment."
Qing Fan refilled Han Ning’s tea, let him know, and then hurried off toward the base of the enormous tree.
The wait lasted for nearly ten hours. It wasn’t until night fell that Qing Fan returned, riding a stone-like Flying Dragon.
He excitedly patted Han Ning’s shoulder. "Lord Akatos has agreed to see you! We’ll rest for the night, and I’ll take you to see him tomorrow."
"Okay."
Hearing this, Han Ning also let out a small sigh of relief.
...
「The next day.」
On the lawn in front of a circle of wooden houses.
A dozen or so Little Guardians playing near the doorway began muttering soft, baby-like chirps. They scrambled up Egg Pancake’s tail onto its back, where they sat obediently in a row, looking around with curiosity.
The air beside Qing Fan vibrated, and a towering stone dragon suddenly appeared with a deafening crash. It was about thirty meters tall, its entire body inlaid with gold and silver ores, and its eyes were a stark grayish-white.
SKREEE!!
The stone dragon saw Egg Pancake lying not far away, twice its own size, and a wary look appeared in its eyes.
Qing Fan leaped up, scrambling along the stone dragon’s limbs onto its back. He pointed at the towering giant tree and said to Han Ning, "Fly to the very top."
Watching Qing Fan scale the dragon with the ease of a true lizard, Han Ning smiled faintly. He reached out, patting the scales by Egg Pancake’s leg. Then, just as Qing Fan had done, he bent his knees and leaped upwards.
BOOM!
The ground exploded, sending dirt flying. Han Ning’s figure blurred into a shadow as he bounded up Egg Pancake’s body, reaching its back in just a few leaps.
Yin Yi and Fei Lin, who were beside him, followed his example. Using their own methods, they easily leaped up to his side, sitting down to his left and right.
At this moment, Qing Fan stared intently at Han Ning, who was now seated cross-legged on Egg Pancake’s head, a look of profound shock on his face.
’...Such incredible physical power. That level of Physical Strength is no less than that of our Dragon Blood Race. It might even be comparable to an Insect Master from one of the Five Ancestor Families.’
At this thought, a new hint of respect entered Qing Fan’s gaze as he looked at Han Ning.
CHIRP!
Egg Pancake arched its back slightly, signaling for its passengers to sit tight. Driver Pancake was about to depart.
WHOOSH~
It suddenly spread its wings. A powerful gust of wind blew in all directions, sending grass and trees tumbling and sand and stones flying.
An earthy-yellow halo rippled outwards.
FLAP FLAP FLAP~
Its massive wings beat continuously, generating more and more lift, hoisting its body into the air.
...
Led by Qing Fan, the two Sub-dragons flew for several hundred kilometers, reaching an altitude of nearly several thousand meters.
The nearby air grew thin.
The sky dimmed, and the surrounding white mist thinned out.
The thick layer of clouds was left far below.
Han Ning looked up, only to see that the sky above was still covered by a layer of murky fog. It was like a cage, trapping the land below.
「Suddenly.」
A massive platform, similar to the Celestial God Hall from Seven Dragon Balls, slowly appeared before him.
In the distance.
He saw an absurdly large, cyan dragon head peering over the edge of the platform.
A pair of jade-green eyes, each as large as a building, were staring straight at the approaching Egg Pancake below.
’It’s a pure Jade Green Dragon!’
Han Ning grabbed onto Egg Pancake’s head, his eyes wide.

Jade-colored scales, green-and-white Dragon Eyes, and a pair of sharp, curved horns.
This Jade Green Dragon’s appearance perfectly matched Han Ning’s impression of a standard Green Dragon.
The Jade Green Dragon just watched quietly as Egg Pancake flew, not making any move.
A moment later, Egg Pancake landed on the platform, carrying him and the other Soul Beasts.
Han Ning slid down its tail as if it were a slide, landing on the platform.
