Reborn As A Dragon Girl With A System-Novel

Chapter 603 - Lord Yong

The two girls who were just about to continue their attacks paused and wiped the sweat from their chins as they looked over to where the voice was coming from. Elder Ning and another old man were walking over to them with smiles on their faces. "Kana, I am here to introduce you to someone. This here is one of the few golden core experts within the Dustwind kingdom's borders, Lord Yong from the palace."

"Elder Ning, you act like this old man is some legend." Lord Yong said with a chuckle. Before looking at the two girls. He scanned them up and down and nodded his head. "Elder Ning, you did not tell me you had another prodigy within your sect."

Elder Ning scratched his nose. He knew how strong Shi Yu was, but he also knew she was green to the world, which was why he had not helped with her cultivation just yet. He wanted her to gain more experience before truly rising up. "It's because she still needs more real world training." Elder Ning answered truthfully. "I wanted to give her personal training once she had experienced the world more. If she shined too brightly too fast, she would end up being targeted, and I did not wish to have her suffer just yet."

Shi Yu stared at Elder Ning in disbelief. She wondered if what he said was true. She always thought her talent was mediocre. But when she thought about it, how could someone who was still in her teens and a qi condensation cultivator with sword intent be mediocre? Elder Ning felt Shi Yu's gaze and let out a sigh. He never planned to say anything until the little girl grew more.

"Little Yu, just take it as an old man watching out for you like you were his granddaughter. I did not want you to suffer too much yet." Elder Ning scratched his head. He was never good at expressing himself.

Lord Yong looked at Elder Ning and nodded his head. He was definitely a good man who watched out for his disciples. "Little girl, what Elder Ning said is true. You are young, so there is no need to try to reach the highest of the sky just yet. But… Your power as you are now is already enough to stand on the heavens chosen board. I will contact Lord Wen. He is a golden core cultivator who specializes in swords and has learned up to stage six sword intent. You can learn a lot from him, and he will make sure you are ready to face the world."

Shi Yu was so happy she could not cover up the smile that formed on her lips as she excitedly thanked Lord Yong. "Thank you for this opportunity!"

"Haha! Don't worry about it. This old man will have them send over special resources just for your training. The royal family will now back you in your training. " Lord Yong announced with a smile. He had come here to talk with the little beast girl but never thought he would find another rare gem. He had already sent a message to Lord Wen. "Lord Wen will be here soon. So prepare yourself to leave with him. He will guide you in your cultivation."

"Yes!" Shi Yu answered happily to the point her voice squeaked as she quickly ran off to the sect to get changed and gather a few things.

Elder Ning was surprised that Lord Young was willing to go that far, but when one thought about how important talents were to a kingdom, he understood. Although Dustwind and Moon Crest Academy were two different entities, they were bound by the land and were reliant on each other. Their alliance had deep roots, so Lord Yong doing something like this was not out of place even if Shi Yu was to be taught by someone other than the elders in the sect, she was still considered part of the Moon Crest Academy.

"Elder Ning, Lord Wen will whip that girl into shape so that she will be ready for the Dragon Festival when it arrives. She will be one of your key players. I promise you this." Lord Yong could see great promise in the young girl.

"I am sure she will be." Elder Ning nodded. He knew Lord Wen was a tough old man, but he was also very strong and knowledgeable.

"As for this lass… You are able to cultivate like both humans and demonic beasts. So you will be able to take on people of a higher cultivation. But… Your main problem is how short of a time you have cultivated. You have just started cultivating and only just formed your beast core and have just entered the second stage of body fortification. As such, what you need is a place where you can cultivate both your cultivations at the same time, and in order to boost this, you need a place that will force you into dangerous situations.

"By facing danger after danger, your cultivation speed will rise at a much faster pace. In order to do this, I will be opening the Dreaded Grounds for you to train in." Lord Yong announced.

Elder Ning's face paled as he yelled out: "Are you crazy!? The spirit pressure inside there is enough to crush someone like her into mush! The demonic beasts are also much more fierce and do not care about rank. They will attack anything on sight!"

"Elder Ning, relax. I will not put the girl in danger to the point she would lose her life. She will have a token that will eject her out if she is about to die. Why would I send such a good talent into the Dreaded Grounds just to let them die? But you also know that such a place would be highly beneficial to her! " Lord Yong retorted.

Elder Ning really couldn't say anything against this. Because as long as she could take it, the whole thing would be a huge benefit for Kana. Especially for her who has both forms of cultivation. "Alright. I understand… Kana, go wash up and get changed, you will be going with Lord Yong."
