Ye Chenxiao had previously sent soone to kill Zhao Letian precisely because Zhao Letian was of Royal Bloodline and a potential contender for the throne of Dajin Country.
Although the probability was very small, Ye Chenxiao had to be proactive and eliminate any potential threats.
"Agreed."
Zhao Letian didn't hesitate at all and nodded in agreent.
In Ye Chenxiao's eyes, the throne of the Dajin Country might be suprely honorable and worth any sacrifice to seize.
But in Zhao Letian's view, the throne of such a small Dajin Country wasn't worth ntioning at all.
His sights had never been limited to the powers of Dajin Country or the Gray Wolf Kingdom; with the mory inheritance from the Dragon Clan, he was much clearer than Ye Chenxiao about how vast this world really was. The position of a country's sovereign was not his pursuit—outside, there was a much broader stage waiting for him.
"Good, now make a Heavenly Dao Oath."
Ye Chenxiao was slightly stunned by the quick response, sowhat surprised but then nodded in satisfaction.
He hadn't expected Zhao Letian to give up the opportunity to beco the sovereign of a country so resolutely.
But then again, considering Zhao Letian's capabilities, how could he compete with Ye Zhenxiao, the Crown Prince, and others for the throne?
Giving up directly showed that Zhao Letian was fully aware of his limits.
After a while, following Ye Chenxiao's request, Zhao Letian made the Heavenly Dao Oath.
"Ha-ha, from now on, we're on the sa side. Pleasure doing business with you."
Ye Chenxiao was in high spirits and laughed heartily.
He had already won over many supporters, and now successfully bringing Zhao Letian to his side was like adding wings to a tiger, greatly increasing his chances against Crown Prince Ye Zhenxiao.
"Now that we're on the sa side, shouldn't you also take so responsibility for my safety?"
Zhao Letian spoke indifferently.
He knew that the vicinity of the embassy from Gray Wolf Kingdom was teeming with spies arranged by Ye Chenxiao.
aning, his whereabouts must be very clear to Ye Chenxiao.
At the very least, every ti he was ambushed, Ye Chenxiao ought to have known.
However, before this, Ye Chenxiao had never intervened to stop those who tried to assassinate him—that was clearly an attempt at letting soone else do the dirty work.
Of course, since he and Ye Chenxiao were previously enemies, Zhao Letian would no longer dwell on past actions.
But from now on, if Ye Chenxiao still took no asures and continued to indulge those trying to kill him, that would be unacceptable.
"Rest assured, Your Highness guarantees that from now on, as long as you are within the Royal Capital, absolutely no one will be able to lay a finger on you."
Ye Chenxiao declared emphatically.
"That's good. Additionally, there's another matter. As you said, my current strength is too weak, hardly enough to help you, I must quickly enhance my strength. Fortunately, I have found a way to quickly increase my strength, but this might require your assistance."
Zhao Letian nodded, then peered at Ye Chenxiao with a half-smiling expression.
Since Ye Chenxiao needed his help, it was natural for him to seize the opportunity to make so demands.
"Oh? What do you need help with? Just tell . Within this Royal Capital, there's little that I can't do," Ye Chenxiao said with a very confident expression.
Indeed, he hoped Zhao Letian could enhance his abilities quickly. Thus, if Zhao Letian's request was reasonable, he would consider helping.
"I want to enter the Dragon Transformation Pool. The reason, I believe I need not elaborate further."
Zhao Letian spoke solemnly.
"The Dragon Transformation Pool? That's right, you are also of the Royal Family. Only through the baptism of Dragon Blood in the Dragon Transformation Pool can the Bloodline Power within your body be activated. It is indeed ti for you to visit the Dragon Transformation Pool."
Ye Chenxiao was slightly taken aback, a grave look flashed across his eyes, then he contemplated thoughtfully.
He just rembered Zhao Letian still had not activated his Bloodline Power.
And for prodigies at their level, Bloodline Power was a crucial component of their strength.
A Zhao Letian who hadn't activated his Bloodline Power had been able to defeat Ye Rui, slay Lin Yu, and crush peers of the sa level.
It was imaginable how terrifyingly powerful his innate abilities would beco once his Bloodline Power was activated. F-in@d the tr$ans!l-atio-n on M&V&LEMPYR ..
If it were before today, Ye Chenxiao would have definitely not allowed Zhao Letian to go to the Dragon Transformation Pool to bathe in Dragon Blood and activate his Bloodline Power at any cost.
Even if Zhao Letian wasn't a threat to him, he wouldn't want to witness the ergence of a genius more potent than himself.
However, now that they were in the sa boat, the stronger Zhao Letian beca, the better.
He would definitely let Zhao Letian go to the Dragon Transformation Pool.
However, not today.
"The Dragon Transformation Pool only opens once a year. There is still over a month until its next opening. Except for the day it opens, no one, not even I, can enter the Dragon Transformation Pool. Therefore, if you want to enter, you will have to wait until after a month. By then, I will arrange an identity for you, so you can enter with everyone else," Ye Chenxiao said with earnest.
"Over a month? Alright, I can wait."
Zhao Letian nodded.
More than a month was but a blink of an eye for Martial Artists; he could afford to wait.
However, during this period, he hoped that the emissaries from the Sky Do Dynasty wouldn't arrive early. If that were the case, he would no longer have the chance to enter the Dragon Transformation Pool.
...
After agreeing on the terms of cooperation with Ye Chenxiao, Zhao Letian returned to his residence with Master Yu.
His mood had sowhat improved upon his return.
Because at least, he had found out about his mother's whereabouts and confird her safety.
After returning, the first thing he did was imdiately take out the Communication Jade Scroll to inform his grandfather and Ye Junrou and others, to spare them the trouble of worrying about this matter.
Subsequently, instead of continuing to practice swordplay outside the city, he sat down in his room, consud several elixirs to improve his cultivation, held two High Grade Essence Stones, and began ditating.
As for Swordsmanship, he had been practicing for three whole days and needed to settle his mind to thoroughly digest his previous training achievents, reflecting on so shortcomings and problems during his cultivation, and take this opportunity to rest in order to continue practicing Sword Skill in a better state.
...
Ti flew swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed.
During this period, aside from ditating, Zhao Letian practiced his Martial Technique and Swordsmanship day after day, tirelessly repeating the sa tasks and sweating profusely.
Although the process of cultivation was monotonous, lonely, and tedious; seeing his own strength gradually increase, Zhao Letian felt it was all worth it.
He was acutely aware that having formidable strength was the only way to protect the people and things he cherished and do anything he desired.
One day, Zhao Letian finished his cultivation and, together with Master Yu, headed straight for the Royal Palace.
Because today was the important day when the Royal Family of Dajin Country opened the Dragon Transformation Pool in the Royal Forbidden Land, an event that occurred only once a year.
