While the four people were wholeheartedly engaged in cultivation, an unexpected scene was unfolding in the space beneath the spring.
At this moment, in the space beneath the spring.
A flood dragon with a completely azure-blue body was battling a young man.
The two sides appeared evenly matched, but that was not actually the case.
From the flood dragon's frantic attacks, it was clear that he was about to be unable to hold on.
Meanwhile, Yang Shiyi, who was fighting him, moved through each technique with effortless ease.
In the void not far away.
Ye Chang'an and Shangguan Shi were watching the battle between the two with great interest.
“This is eleven's first battle. If his techniques were a little more polished, this flood dragon probably wouldn't be able to withstand a single move.”
Shangguan Shi analyzed.
Hearing this, Ye Chang'an nodded as well.
“Mm, eleven's talent is quite impressive. Although he is only at the first level of the emperor realm, he is handling the third-level emperor realm flood dragon with ease.”
Ye Chang'an was quite satisfied with Yang Shiyi.
Even though this was Yang Shiyi's first battle, and even though he had never taken it seriously, he could still make the flood dragon, whose realm was higher than his, feel immense pressure.
“Eleven, stop playing around. Show him what you're capable of.”
On the other side, Yang Shiyi, who was engaged in battle, heard Ye Chang'an's voice, and a trace of seriousness appeared in his eyes.
Seeing this, the flood dragon knew that his opponent would no longer hold back, so he also began to unleash his full strength.
Roar~
It threw back its head and let out a long roar, and its entire body suddenly doubled in size.
An extremely powerful might surged forth.
However, Yang Shiyi did not panic in the slightest. With an innocent smile at the corners of his mouth, he thrust out one palm.
A gigantic spiritual power palm slammed toward the flood dragon.
In response, the flood dragon whipped its tail fiercely, instantly sending an attack slicing toward the spiritual power palm.
Boom~
The instant the two collided, a deafening roar rang out.
Moreover, an intense spiritual power fluctuation swept outward.
When this wave reached Ye Chang'an and Shangguan Shi, it automatically dissipated.
It did not even stir the corners of their clothes.
The two continued staring at the battlefield.
Yang Shiyi stood in the void with his long hair flying, not retreating half a step.
The flood dragon, meanwhile, was sent flying backward.
However, that was not the end.
Just then, Yang Shiyi instantly disappeared from his original spot.
The next moment, he appeared behind the flood dragon.
Looking at the flood dragon flying backward toward him, Yang Shiyi suddenly threw a punch.
Boom~
Ripples spread throughout the entire space.
The flood dragon, which had yet to stop, was sent flying once more.
It crashed directly into the ground.
Inside a gigantic pit, an azure-blue flood dragon lay there, blood spilling from its mouth as its aura weakened.
“May I ask if you're done fighting?”
Yang Shiyi appeared in front of the flood dragon and asked politely.
As soon as he asked this, the flood dragon spat out another mouthful of old blood and fainted on the spot.
An hour later, when the flood dragon Opened its eyes, the first thing it saw was the three figures it feared.
“Three seniors, I was wrong. I shouldn't have had any thoughts of attacking those little fellows up above.”
The flood dragon immediately begged for mercy, tears almost welling up in its eyes.
The sight of Yang Shiyi rubbing his fists together was truly frightening.
No, terrifying to a beast.
“Wouldn't it have been better to say that from the start? You're only letting us use some of your resources. It's merely one Profound Spirit Treasure Spring, so why be so stingy?”
Ye Chang'an said with a smile.
However, in the flood dragon's eyes, that smile made cold sweat break out all over its body.
It was genuinely aggrieved.
Four little fellows had suddenly barged in and wantonly squandered its resources.
It had immediately awakened from its slumber.
Although it had wanted to teach the little fellows a lesson, it had not even made a move yet.
Just then, three people suddenly barged in.
These three right before it.
The weakest among them had immediately started fighting it.
He could clearly have defeated it quickly, but for some unknown reason, this fellow acted as though he was afraid of hurting it.
He insisted on fighting it back and forth.
It was simply too torturous for a beast, wasn't it?
It couldn't win, yet it was forced to keep fighting.
And it had gone on for so long without ending.
The flood dragon was already traumatized. It absolutely could not go through this again.
“Do you want to leave?”
Just as the flood dragon was on the verge of breaking down, Ye Chang'an suddenly spoke.
“Senior, what did you say?!”
The flood dragon thought it had heard incorrectly.
“You heard me correctly.”
Ye Chang'an said in an indifferent tone.
“Senior, I want to leave more than anything. It's just that Profound Heaven Lake has been placed under a restriction by a powerful expert...”
“Don't assume I'm as weak as you are.”
As though he knew what the flood dragon was about to say, Ye Chang'an ruthlessly cut him off.
“Senior, then what are your requirements?”
“Stay by my daughter's side. She is absorbing the Profound Spirit Treasure Spring there, and you will be her sparring partner.”
Ye Chang'an said with a smile.
“No problem. Senior, rest assured, I'm perfect for this!”
Hearing this, the flood dragon immediately agreed without a second word.
What a joke. It could regain its freedom, and the price was merely becoming a sparring partner for a little girl. Even an idiot would know which choice to make.
She was only a little girl at the Celestial Spirit Realm, unlike this seemingly harmless young man, who was unbelievably powerful in a fight.
Being her sparring partner would be an effortless task, wouldn't it?
“What are you called?”
“Senior, I don't have a name.”
“Then from now on, your name is little dragon.”
Ye Chang'an casually gave it a name.
Flood dragon: ???
“It can't be changed. That's your name.”
Seeing the flood dragon's expression, Ye Chang'an immediately cut off any objection.
Hearing this, the flood dragon looked as though it wanted to cry but had no tears.
It was at least in the emperor realm. Couldn't it be given even a little dignity?
Ye Chang'an did not care in the slightest about the flood dragon's inner thoughts and directly asked about why it had been Sealed here.
From the flood dragon, he learned that it had been Sealed here in the previous era by an emperor realm expert.
Even though it had now reached the third level of the emperor realm, it was still unable to break the seal.
As for the reason it had been Sealed, it was actually to await someone named Dao Wuhen.
According to that expert, someone named Dao Wuhen would come looking for the flood dragon in the next era, and the flood dragon needed to preserve the Profound Spirit Treasure Spring it had nurtured for him.
After accomplishing all this, Dao Wuhen would naturally help him break the seal.
Upon learning this, Ye Chang'an and Shangguan Shi both looked toward Ye Xinran, who was cultivating beside the spring.
They could not help feeling somewhat amused.
“It seems he never anticipated our arrival. Sorry, Dao Wuhen, but this spring won't be left for you.”
Ye Chang'an said with a smile.
As for the consequences, he was not afraid.
Even if the expert who had Sealed the flood dragon came looking for trouble, he would not panic in the slightest.
Not to mention that his own realm had already reached the Heavenly Authority Realm.
His Primordial Divine Hall alone was filled with experts, especially the five elders.
Whoever came would only be giving themselves away.
Panic? My Primordial Divine Hall doesn't know the meaning of panic.
For the following period of time, Ye Chang'an, the other two, and a flood dragon idled in this space, waiting for Ye Xinran to finish her cultivation.
Watching Ye Xinran's rapidly rising cultivation level, Ye Chang'an was extremely satisfied.
He grew increasingly eager for Ye Xinran to achieve a breakthrough in realm.
Until one month later, when the system's voice suddenly rang out in Ye Chang'an's mind.
