The Blood Lotus Fla Flood Dragon said, "To achieve a six-in-a-row victory in the next round, let strive to grow even stronger!"
The Blood Lotus Fla Flood Dragon was still thinking about getting stronger through being beaten.
It’s not surprising that the Blood Lotus Fla Flood Dragon was so focused on this, given that there was an Overlord-level Dr. Rabbit available to heal injuries instantly. After the Gold Tournant ends, there wouldn’t be such easy opportunities to quickly get beaten and grow stronger.
Li Cunxu tapped the Blood Lotus Fla Flood Dragon’s head with two fingers together, "What are you thinking about? You won’t be in the next match."
"Huh? Not ?"
The Blood Lotus Fla Flood Dragon was stunned.
Li Cunxu said, "Yes, you’ve already been on the stage twice. You have to give others a chance. Besides, your appearance isn’t a guaranteed win. It’s hard to achieve a six-in-a-row win. Your tactics have already been displayed in the previous matches, and others could analyze your strategy from the recorded videos of your two battles."
The Blood Lotus Fla Flood Dragon stretched its neck slightly, not convinced, "Even if they know my tactics, it doesn’t an they can beat ."
"True, but you have a deadly weakness."
"What weaknesses do I have? I can fight and withstand attacks. My speed is complented by the Dragon teor skill. Unless it’s a freak like the Fla White Horse, which I can’t chase down, what weaknesses do I have?"
The Blood Lotus Fla Flood Dragon was quite defiant.
Li Cuncun softly said, "Dragon-slaying weapons."
The Blood Lotus Fla Flood Dragon was instantly speechless.
Dragon-slaying weapons are a permanent pain for every dragon pet, having a fatal restraint, easily breaking through the impenetrable dragon-scale defenses of dragon pets.
If the beast of Shuichun Le in the last match had a dragon-slaying weapon, the Blood Lotus Fla Flood Dragon definitely wouldn’t have achieved a six-in-a-row win.
Then why didn’t Shuichun Le bring a dragon-slaying weapon?
Because at that ti, Shuichun Le’s understanding of the Blood Lotus Fla Flood Dragon was still stuck at its unevolved state as the Blood Lotus Carp. Although the Blood Lotus Carp perford strongly in earlier matches, it wasn’t unbeatable, so Shuichun Le didn’t specifically bring a dragon-slaying weapon.
After the match, Shuichun Le deeply regretted not bringing a dragon-slaying weapon.
The third match, the battle of sixty-four to decide the top thirty-two.
Li Cunxu’s opponent this round was Xue Baiwu from Bingdu University.
Xue Baiwu, a beautiful girl, as her na suggests, had skin as white as snowflakes, and her hair was white, styled in two cute braids.
Li Cunxu lost focus a bit, not because he was thinking about the girl, but the city she was from.
Ice City.
One of the top ten Holy Cities in the alliance, it was also the largest city for humans.
Due to Ice City being in an extrely cold snowy region, building houses and constructing the city was particularly easy; a large ice house could be built by pouring water and letting it freeze overnight.
Li Cunxu was quite familiar with Ice City, having gone there in his past life to make money when he was short on cash.
A "trader," a profession where one buys goods from one place and sells them in another, making a profit on the price difference between the two places.
For example, vegetables in Tongdu were cheap, as its weather was suitable for vegetable growth, but in Ice City, they were expensive due to the cold weather and permafrost making vegetable cultivation difficult.
Small cabbage in Tongdu was only two yuan per jin, but in Ice City, it cost a hundred yuan per jin. So Li Cunxu would buy small cabbage at two yuan per jin in Tongdu, transport it using a special space ring, and sell it in Ice City for a hundred yuan per jin, making a profit of ninety-eight yuan per jin.
And it didn’t stop there. The fish catch in Ice City was incredibly cheap, as the nearby ocean, the Sea of Ice and Cold, had an abundance of Ice Phosphorus Shrimp, which were more nurous than weeds. Just two small thumb-sized Ice Phosphorus Shrimp could proliferate billions within a year, leading to an abundance and exceptional quality of fish catches there.
Li Cunxu would buy fish catches in Ice City and sell them back in Tongdu, making another round of profits.
Thus, whenever Li Cunxu needed money, he’d make a trip to Ice City to dabble in trading goods.
Aren’t there quick and easy teleportation arrays that can instantly transport goods? Why is there still a shortage leading to traders making profits in Ice City?
This has to do with the unique environntal factors of Ice City.
Located in the extre region of the Divine Guard Continent, akin to the North and South Poles of his past life, the poles were enveloped in imnse ice-cold storms. The Divine Cold Storm was terrifying, possessing the ability to affect space, preventing teleportation arrays from accessing Ice City.
Forcing a teleportation would result in being frozen by the Divine Cold Storm in the void.
This ant traveling to Ice City was highly troubleso. One could only teleport to the Ice Capital Outpost via teleportation arrays and then traverse the Divine Cold Storm aboard a King-level icebreaker from there.
You must use a King-level icebreaker, as Overlord-level ones won’t do. An Overlord-level icebreaker couldn’t withstand the cold and winds of the Divine Cold Storm.
Transporting goods to Ice City was particularly tricky, as using space rings or similar spatial storage gear while traversing the storm would result in the gear being frozen and damaged by the Divine Cold Storm.
In his past life, while working as a trader, Li Cunxu used a special space ring resistant to the storm’s freezing effect to transport vegetables.
The Divine Cold Storm would freeze not only storage spaces but also the Beast Taming Space of a Beast Master.
Beast Masters below Gold Level (not including Gold Level) couldn’t traverse the Divine Cold Storm even with a King-level icebreaker, or else their Beast Taming Space would freeze and shatter.
The Beast Taming Space of a Gold-level Beast Master could withstand freezing, but the cold would seep in, so it’s best to summon the beast out of the space while traversing.
A Lord-level Beast Master wouldn’t have this concern, as only a small amount of cold would seep in, just lowering the temperature a bit inside the Beast Taming Space.
Of course, if you’re not a Beast Master and haven’t unlocked a Beast Taming Space, you wouldn’t have this concern either.
The problems caused by the Divine Cold Storm weren’t limited to this; the storm isolated Ice City from the outside world, leaving it cut off. This even led to Ice City being the first of the alliance’s top ten Holy Cities to fall entirely into the hands of the Four Evil Gods Sects in his past life.
"It seems there are a few opportunities in Ice City I could seize."
Li Cunxu recalled a chance he learned about in his past life from players in Ice City - the treasure of the Ice Fla White Dragon King.
The treasure of the Ice Fla White Dragon King contained a rare fla of ice, fire, and dragon attributes called [Dragon Fire Ice Fla].
"Dragon Fire Ice Fla suits the Blood Lotus Fla Flood Dragon, hold on, it might also suit the Extre Crystal Dragon."
The Blood Lotus Fla Flood Dragon, having dragon and fire attributes, could easily master the Dragon Fire Ice Fla.
However, the Extre Crystal Dragon also possesses dragon and fire attributes, making it theoretically adept as well.
After so thought, Li Cunxu decided to give the Dragon Fire Ice Fla to the Blood Lotus Fla Flood Dragon.
The Dragon Fire Ice Fla is a battle-oriented rare fla, more suited to the Blood Lotus Fla Flood Dragon.
The Extre Crystal Dragon, positioned as a support pet, if it were to refine a rare fla, it should refine a support and healing-oriented rare fla.
In fact, the Dragon Fire Ice Fla wasn’t the main reason Li Cunxu was fixated on the Ice Fla White Dragon King’s treasure.
Among all rare flas, Dragon Fire Ice Fla wasn’t particularly exceptional. If you scored all rare flas out of a hundred, Dragon Fire Ice Fla would only score forty-seven.
What truly drew Li Cunxu’s attention to the treasure was the Blue Seed Gourd hidden inside it.
