“This is a Flying Dragon. Its Tamed Level is six stars too, so there’s no need to be afraid of it. It’s even more obedient than some of the Summoned Beasts.

“Of course, it might be stronger than some Contracted Beasts when it fights. It’s the greatest work of the master of England’s dragon taming clans!

“The Flying Dragon is going to make history once we reveal it to the world!

The emcee did not reveal the details of the Flying Dragon’s strength, physical attributes, defense, and fighting capacity. The people just needed to know it was a tamed Flying Dragon!

The Flying Dragon would be a hot-seller if it was to be offered for a Contracted Beast, but it was currently being sold as a tamed beast. It had overturned everyone’s understanding of the tamed beasts!

Tamed beasts could establish a master-servant relationship with anyone, allowing Mages who were not Summoners to control them. In other words, anyone could take the Flying Dragon and ride it, just as long as they could afford it!

Even a Summoner had difficulties making a dragon-blood a Contracted Beast. If Mages who were not Summoners had a chance to own a Flying Dragon, it would have a huge impact on the Summoning Element, and the whole field of magic!

“The world is about to change. Ayleen’s clan is going to evolve into a dragon clan and rule over the world!” Zhao Manyan exclaimed.

Mo Fan took a deep breath too.

He remembered when he was still at the Aorus Sacred Institute, and a student had asked Sharjah why she was interested in Mo Fan’s Theory of Combination Magic.

If Combination Magic was put into practice and became common, it would allow mankind to take a huge leap forward. Combination Magic would significantly increase the average strength of human Mages by giving their magic more flexibility.

Perhaps Mages would be able to modify their magic when they were only at the Basic and Intermediate Levels. Their spells would be more modular!

Similarly, the ability to tame dragons would give all Mages a chance to own a dragon!

Having a mount was no longer exclusive to Summoners. Anyone could now have a powerful creature as their mount, to protect them and fly everywhere they wanted. Would they have trouble destroying the demon creatures’ kingdoms once they had enough tamed dragon beasts?

A man in a Chinese military outfit stood up and asked, “Is it just a prototype, or can we really buy the dragons now? Can you guarantee you can meet our demands if we place orders for the Flying Dragons?”

The man was most likely from a different division. He had to be highly ranked, too!

“If you are the highest bidder, the Flying Dragon is yours once you contract as its master with your blood. We will also disclose the price of the Flying Dragons soon and accept preorders across the world,” the representative of the Bai Clan replied with a confident smile.

“Can you guarantee you will have the supply for all the orders?”

“As long as you can afford the price, we will deliver the goods within a promised period. The quantities are of course limited, but the Duchess ensured she has more than just a few Flying Dragons, and her clan will provide a certain number of Flying Dragons for the powerful factions around the world every year!”

“Unbelievable!”

—

The Bai Clan brought everyone to an open patio close to the ocean to showcase the Flying Dragon’s strength. A few Super Mages volunteered to challenge the Flying Dragon.

After a few rounds, the guests were convinced that the Flying Dragon’s strength was on par with an adult Inferior Dragon. It would be extremely useful when fighting against certain Ruler-level creatures.

Its ability to fly made it an absolute king of the sky, but most importantly, its scales had inherited the greatest ability of the dragons, immunity to magic!

The Flying Dragon was immune to all Elemental Spells below the Super Level!

It was a crazy ability. It meant the Flying Dragon could ignore the spells of a regiment of a thousand soldiers. The Flying Dragon would have been a nightmare to both the Wind Fleet Warships of the Brown Rebels or the Federation Army’s Cross Chaos Formation if it had appeared in the battles in the Andes Mountain Range!

Everyone thought the Flying Dragon was the finale of the exhibition. Countless factions would be bidding insane amounts of money to buy a single Flying Dragon!

To everyone’s astonishment, the host of the exhibition had provided seven Flying Dragons in total!

The first Flying Dragon was bought by the officer who had been the first to voice his concerns.

The second Flying Dragon went to to a core member of the Mu Clan.

The third and fourth were secured by the Zhao Clan.

Only three Flying Dragons were left. Hua Yuezhu clenched her teeth and bought one of them.

Zhang Xiaohou was a little hesitant because the price had been raised too high, but Hua Yuezhu insisted on bidding for it.

Mo Fan tried bidding for the sixth Flying Dragon, but he eventually gave up when he checked the balance in his account.

These people were too crazy, raising the prices as if they had robbed banks ahead of time. Each bid went up by at least a hundred million. Mo Fan would rather travel on foot or ask someone with magical Wings to give him a convenient ride!

“Only the last one left. Should we try and get it?” Zhao Manyan asked.

“We might be able to if we combine our money,” Mu Bai said with a wry smile.

These Flying Dragons were priceless. Zhao Manyan knew he had no chance of awakening the Summoning Element. He believed it was necessary to secure himself a suitable mount.

Unfortunately, Zhao Youqian had taken all his possessions, or he might have dared to bid for all seven of the Flying Dragons!

“I can consider it if we want to combine our money to buy it. After all, it has plenty of space to carry the three of us,” Mo Fan nodded.

“Mo Fan, aren’t you close with Ayleen? These dragons are imported from England and the Bai Clan is their dealer. There must be a lot of taxes involved. Why don’t we ask Ayleen and buy one from her ‘factory’? Surely it’s a lot cheaper,” Zhao Manyan proposed.

Mo Fan scratched his head.

If he had known Ayleen had such a formidable background, he would have fawned upon her more when he had the chance!

He might be close with Ayleen, but they were not close enough for Ayleen to sell the dragons at a crazily cheap price. The cost of taming these dragons had to be extremely high.

“Xinxia is closer to her. I’ll ask Xinxia to ask on our behalf,” Mo Fan offered.

“Zhang Xiaohou is richer than us. He bought the dragon right away,” Mu Bai reported.

Mu Bai had only finished the sentence when he heard Hua Yuezhu ask, “General, are we taking all the Triumphant Eagle Dragons, too?”

“Mm, all of them.”

“…”

Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan, and Mu Bai’s expressions complicated further.

In the end, working on their own had led them to live poor lives, while serving the country would give them riches that would last for their entire lives!

Only a setting that needed a lot of money like this would show who was the real povo!

“Say, how much do you think a Totem Beast would be worth? If we kidnap the Moon Moth Phoenix, can we get ourselves a nest of Flying Dragons?” Zhao Manyan wondered aloud.
