I'm the only player

Chapter 251 [Borrowing the Power of Demon Control]

After thinking for a while, I really couldn't figure it out, so I just put it out of my mind. Now that I am in the scales of the Red Cloud Cave, I will know the reason for the demise of the mountain gate sooner or later. I might even experience it myself. Why bother making myself uncomfortable?

The next day, early in the morning.

"Dang Dang Dang!"

There was a rhythmic but not impatient knock on the door, waking He Sheng up from his sleep.

"Oh, I let my guard down."

Maybe it was because the environment was relatively safe, or maybe he was a little tired from searching the ruined Red Cloud Cave, so he was not as vigilant as before and actually asked someone to knock on the door to wake him up.

But, having said that, there is an old dragon who is capable of competing with the other two powerful mountain masters. Who wouldn't let down their guard and rest comfortably for a night?

"Brother, I am Liu Xiao, a menial disciple of our Lindao Island. The mountain master invites you to attend the initiation ceremony held every three years." A young voice sounded outside the door.

"immediately."

After he replied, he immediately put on his clothes.

After a while, the door was opened.

Outside, there stood a young man with red lips and white teeth who could be a pretty boy. It is worth mentioning that the clothes he wore were gray, unlike those of the formal disciples selected by the four departments yesterday.

"Brother, Hongyun Cave has strict rules. Menial disciples must wear gray clothing, and no other colors. Of course, not being able to wear any other colors is too strict, and people usually don't think too much about it.

As long as the color of the body is mostly gray, people can recognize it as a chores disciple at a glance. But there is one thing, if anyone dares to pretend to be a disciple of the sect and wears white clothes, he will definitely be severely punished. "

The errand disciple named Liu Xiao seemed to notice his gaze and explained with a smile.

"How many years have you been here?"

"This is the fourth year, and I was part of the last batch to enter. After passing two levels, I thought I could become an inner disciple. Unfortunately, I was just a little short of that, and could only serve as a handyman.

However, in another three years, when I have saved enough money to buy a monster and successfully control it, I can naturally advance from a menial disciple to an inner disciple."

My goodness, the life of a menial disciple is really miserable. He needs to work for six years to save money and buy a monster to ride. After all, isn't this exploitation?

Of course, they were doing this voluntarily, and no one forced them. Those who didn't want to could leave Hongyun Cave and go back to live an ordinary life.

"Brother, actually, it's good enough that Hongyun Cave can keep us to do some dirty and tiring work and pay us. At least, we have something to look forward to.

If I go back, it would be fine for the rich kids, they would never have to worry about food and drink. But for me, the lowly people in the eyes of the dignitaries, sometimes I can't even have a full meal.

What was even more terrifying was that if they ran into bandits coming down the mountain to rob, or some defeated soldiers looting, they would be killed without a burial place.

Hongyun Cave is different. I have food, drink and hope. I am only bullied by some disciples from time to time, but they won’t kill me. I am very grateful to Hongyun Cave and to the Lin Department. "

Look, people are even thanking Hongyun Cave.

"."

have to.

Boy, yours is worth exploiting.

Weren't all those who failed to pass two levels at the North Gate yesterday forced to leave?

The two of them chatted as they headed for the initiation ceremony.

On the way, Liu Xiao told information about the Lin tribe and some powerful disciples.

The Lin Department, or Lin Island, has a total of ten elders, a fixed number. Under the elders, there are personal disciples and true disciples, but no closed disciples.

Why?

Just kidding, I made you an elder so that you can educate more disciples, train more elite disciples, and expand the sect. But you told me that you want to take in a closed disciple and you are here to take advantage of me!

The treatment of the elders is very high, and the resources they receive from the Scale Department every year are huge. Taking in closed disciples is equivalent to receiving money without working, which leader would be happy with that?

The ceremony was held by the water, and basically most of the disciples of Lindao Island came. After all, it only happens once every three years, and they usually practice when they have nothing to do. It's not easy to have a lively time, so they definitely can't miss it.

Some elders had long since targeted the disciples who had caused the dragon roars of the scale pillars. Those who had made the most dragon roars were accepted as their personal disciples yesterday without further ado, and the most powerful ones were naturally promoted to true disciples in one step.

Only those who could only raise the dragon's roar once, or half a time. The so-called half time means that the dragon's roar stopped abruptly in half. Some of them were accepted as registered disciples, and most of them became inner disciples. They did not have a fixed teacher, but could attend the "open class".

The ten elders will give public classes on the square one day every month. You can listen or not. If you meet an elder who is in a good mood and has a good character, he will explain it in detail and break it down for the disciples to hear.

If you meet someone who is perfunctory, reading from a script, or is in a bad mood today, you're unlucky!

From this we can see how extraordinary the talent and character of Lao Long, who fought his way from a menial disciple to the mountain master, is. He is definitely a rare gem in the ocean.

As for those without dragon roar?
Sorry, errand boy!

Even so, many people are still grateful.

The number of new disciples who participated in the initiation ceremony was less than 300. Facts have proved that the number of new disciples from the East, South, and West gates is really large.

According to some disciples' gossip, this was one of the few times when the number of new initiators in the Scaled Tribe was the smallest. In fact, there had been occasions in history when more than a thousand people entered the sect.

The ceremony was simple, starting with the disciples within the sect.

That's right, even disciples who have not been accepted as disciples by the elders are eligible to participate in the ceremony. More than a hundred people bowed to all the elders.

No problem, the ten elders need to take turns giving lectures.

Then, there were the registered disciples, less than a hundred in total. They all stood on the platform that had been built long ago and knelt down to kowtow to the elders.

"Cast a wide net and catch more fish." He Sheng couldn't help but complain in the audience. Among the nearly 100 registered disciples, there are always a few who can "catch" them.

If, if you catch a "fish" that is like Lao Long, or only half similar, it would be a great thing. In fact, the matter of registering as a disciple started with Lao Long's successful counterattack.

The reason was that an elder once revealed that he originally wanted to accept Old Long, who was a menial worker, but the talent shown by the other party was far inferior to that of his direct disciples. Considering the emotions of his direct disciples after he became a disciple, he did not accept him.

As a result, he was naturally extremely regretful. One could always see the elder slapping his thigh and sighing for no reason.

Soon after, a new type of disciple called "recorded disciple" spread throughout the four regions. The purpose was to cast a wide net and catch a pearl hidden in the ocean.

On the stage, the four elders smiled and gave the prepared monsters to the registered disciples one by one.

Next, it was the disciples who were taught directly by the emperor.

This time, the ten elders of Lindao Island attended in turn. Starting from the tenth elder, batches of direct disciples came forward, and after paying homage to the master, they left with the beads containing the monsters.

When it comes to the level of true disciples, unlike the previous two times when they all worshipped the master together, the true disciples came on stage one by one, and each of them had the qualification to worship the master individually.

Secondly, the beads are different colors.

The beads held by the direct disciples were white, while the beads held by the true disciples were blue with delicate patterns on them. The beads should be the water-gathering beads he found in the ruined Red Cloud Cave, which were specially used to raise scale-type monsters.

"Finally, please welcome our most respected mountain master." The great elder of Lindao Island stood up from his chair and shouted. His tone was full of respect. It was definitely respect, not flattery.

"Groan!!"

With a dragon roar, a green dragon several thousand meters long swooped down from the sky.

Even though they have seen it many times, they are still surprised by it.

After all, not every dragon can be several thousand meters long and have a head that can hold up the treasure dragon gate. At the same time, this is also the reason why the great elder is so respectful.

As a low-level errand disciple, a man who became the master of Lindao Mountain with a golden carp, how could he not have some skills? In the past, those elders who opposed Lao Long to become the new master of the mountain either died suddenly due to a mishap during training or disappeared when they went out.

According to legend, someone saw the heads of the monsters that the missing elders had ridden in the cave of the mountain master. If the living knew about this, they would dare not be honest or disrespectful.

How did that sentence go?

Haven’t you seen the sudden deaths and disappearances of the elders?
"Congratulations!"

The old dragon landed on the ground and transformed into a human form, waving at the person involved.

The next second, everyone focused their eyes on him with envious expressions.

Nine chants of the wandering dragon!

This master created the highest record since the establishment of Hongyun Donglin Island. In terms of talent, only the ancestor Hongyun can compete with him.

The next Lord of Lindao Mountain will definitely be the boy named He. Unless he dies prematurely. The question is, will Lindao allow it?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Even if there are those among the ten elders who are secretly unhappy with Old Dragon, they would not have any unfavorable thoughts towards Youlong Jiuyin's disciples.

The current cave master of Hongyun Cave is only eight and a half. What is certain is that the nine-singing level genius of their scales department is qualified to compete for the cave master, and the hope is great.

The title of cave master alone is a huge boost for the entire Lin Island. Apart from anything else, when competing with the other three divisions for disciples, as long as you say that the current cave master is from the Lin Division, 99% of people will choose the Lin Division without hesitation.

Why has the Beast Tribe always been strong and has been the first among the four tribes for a thousand years? It is because of the title of the Cave Master that he has fooled all the good seedlings, causing the Beast Tribe to become stronger and stronger from generation to generation.

"From today on, he will be my last disciple."

"."

The ten elders of Lindao couldn't help but roll their eyes when they heard this.

Master, you have never accepted any disciples.

There is no way. Lao Long fought his way up from the bottom. He was too lazy to recruit those who were not very talented. He wanted to train another one of himself, but then he found that he was too naive.

Since the establishment of Red Cloud Cave, he was the only one who fought his way out from the bottom. It was a pipe dream to find a second one in a short period of time.

As a result, the matter of accepting disciples was delayed.

But God helps those who work hard, and he actually gave him a super monster in his mouth.

"This bead is a gift from me. Move it to my cave after the ceremony. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. The rest of my life will be spent on you."

"."

Although the tone was sincere, it always felt weird.

The beads given by the old dragon were neither white nor blue, but pure gold.

Storage bar!
As soon as the beads were placed in the storage bar, the properties of the gold beads were immediately displayed.

[Dragon Ball (fire-proof, water-repellent, suppression, dragon energy, majesty, indestructible, thunderous, large or small, light as a feather, heavier than Mount Tai): The sacred place of dragons, containing the sea, vast and boundless, with abundant water vapor. It accelerates the growth of scale-type monsters, purifies the monster bloodline, and has a certain probability of positive mutation. It is also a holy place for healing. As long as the monster still has a breath, it will heal itself if it is put in it.]

"?!"

Oh shit, it’s actually Dragon Ball.

As expected of the Lord of Lin Island, he is so generous.

In addition, there are a total of ten special attributes.

"Keep it well, this is something I, your master, took out from the mouth of a golden dragon." The old dragon said it calmly, but the elders around him were frightened when they heard it.

Good man, you say it so easily. Everyone knows that the dragon ball is the life of the dragon, who would let you take it out easily? What's more, it's a golden dragon.

The dragon clan has a chain of contempt.

The Azure Dragon is considered the orthodox one, while the Golden Dragon is the noble one among dragons. As for the other colored dragons, sorry, both of them look down upon them. Of course, there are exceptions, such as the White Dragon.

The problem is that white dragons only exist in legends, and no one has ever seen one. Not to mention humans, even dragons have never heard of it, so which dragon has ever seen a white dragon?

The initiation ceremony ended with great fanfare, and everyone remembered the name He Sheng deeply. There was no other way, because the old dragon was about to carve the next mountain master on his face.

In the cave of the mountain master, Lao Long sat on the couch and handed out two jade bricks?

"This is the most basic cultivation method for the disciples of my Red Cloud Cave. I am able to get to where I am today thanks to them. It's not that we don't have our own unique methods on Lin Island, but the foundation is not well laid. No matter how powerful the unique method is, it can't exert much power.

The "Demon Taming Technique" and "Borrowing Technique" are the best to lay the foundation. No matter if you are a genius, a mediocre person, or even a fool. As long as you practice these two diligently, you can still achieve something."

After a pause, he said again.

"From today on, my disciple, you have to think carefully. Should you take the path of controlling monsters or borrowing magic? The former is something that I, the mountain master and cave master of Red Cloud Cave, have done countless times and have a lot of experience with.

As for the latter, to be honest, I personally feel that the latter is the path that Hongyun Patriarch hoped his disciples would follow. Unfortunately, your master's talent and hard work have all been spent on controlling monsters."

"Master, what's the difference between taming monsters and borrowing magic?" He Sheng asked with a frown. It seemed that borrowing magic was not mentioned in yesterday's manual.

No, there is a method of borrowing, but it is just borrowing one's own ability to control monsters.

"Control the monsters, control the monsters, train them into talents, and replace them. The way I took was to train the golden carp into a blue dragon, and then replace it. The only drawback is the monster that was replaced, haha.

As for the borrowing method, in short, it is to control multiple monsters, and then take the monsters' strengths and make up for human weaknesses, becoming a terrifying being that looks like a human, but is actually a combination of the abilities of countless monsters.

Moreover, the monsters will not suffer any loss, and they can still fight for you. In short, he is an all-rounder, an all-rounder in every sense of the word.

However, borrowing is not without its drawbacks. First, you must have the talent to control multiple monsters, then you must have enough resources to train them, and secondly, your cultivation cannot be slower than that of other people who control a monster, or you must have an extremely long lifespan.

The last and most difficult step is to borrow something. Since you have decided to use the borrowing method, you must choose the best method over the worst. The monster you control must be one of the four types: divine, strange, spiritual, or fierce, and you must learn from its strengths and make up for its weaknesses.

It's impossible to control a divine beast with extremely strong defense and then control a foreign beast with equally strong defense, right? "

Then, Lao Long continued with a sigh.

"It's not that there are beasts that can satisfy the first three requirements, but unfortunately, there are no beasts that can satisfy all of them. As for the last one, the restrictions are too great. Where can I find so many beasts that can complement each other's strengths and weaknesses?

Don't think that just because you see me as a blue dragon, you think there are many dragons on our Scale Island. In fact, I am the only real dragon.

The white tiger of the beast department and the phoenix of the flying department are all achieved through our hard work, step by step, practicing with the beasts, and a little bit of luck.

It is already extremely difficult to train a Four Beasts, and training a large group of Four Beasts is more than just one plus one equals two. The difficulty is like a mortal climbing to heaven. "
