Dragon's Origin

Chapter 536: A Contest of Skills (Part 2)

This time, the snow eagle sensed Wang Sheng's goodwill; at least, it didn't lose another two feathers. So, as Wang Sheng descended, the snow eagle humanely accompanied him.

Until Wang Sheng deployed his parachute, he could still see the snow eagle's massive form and curious gaze not far away.

Fortunately, the snow eagle didn't tamper with Wang Sheng's parachute out of curiosity, or Wang Sheng would have been in dire straits.

The snow eagle stayed with Wang Sheng until he was a hundred meters above the ground, clearly seeing Old Daoist Ling Xu looking up, before finally leaving. Wang Sheng, of course, landed safely near the old daoist again.

"Failed again?" Old Daoist Ling Xu asked, looking at Wang Sheng's smiling face inside the ice house. It was a rhetorical question, really. If he had succeeded, Wang Sheng would have been riding the snow eagle down, not parachuting.

"Not exactly a failure!" Wang Sheng had clearly made progress this time. At least the snow eagle sensed his goodwill, which was a successful step.

"Want to continue?" The old daoist asked again.

"Have you ever seen me give up halfway?" Wang Sheng retorted. The old daoist smiled, seeming to want to say something, but ultimately didn't.

This time was obviously much better than the last, not only in Wang Sheng's relationship with the snow eagle, but also in the fact that Wang Sheng's body, after experiencing hundreds of drastic changes in spiritual energy concentration, didn't suffer as many hidden injuries as last time. There were still injuries, but they were greatly reduced.

Wang Sheng's spiritual energy control ability was honed again under these circumstances, and even the strength of his body was tempered again by the power that felt like spiritual energy about to explode.

After only three days of rest, Wang Sheng climbed the ice mountain again. This time, however, Wang Sheng didn't hide under the big log waiting for the snow eagle to return to its nest, but sat comfortably in the snow eagle's nest, waiting.

The snow eagle flew over from afar with its prey, not attacking because it saw someone in the nest, nor turning away because of the presence of a person, but landing naturally.

Having ridden the snow eagle twice already, if Wang Sheng didn't even have this much understanding, then he could forget about conquering it.

The prey was still a demon beast, but this time the demon beast was relatively larger, but under the snow eagle's sharp claws and powerful hooked beak, it was easily dismembered into several pieces.

The snow eagle even threw a piece to Wang Sheng, making him not know whether to laugh or cry. Without even removing the fur or skinning it, was it asking Wang Sheng to eat it raw? He originally wanted to refuse, but Wang Sheng thought about it and thanked the snow eagle, then accepted its gift. Of course, as a return gift, Wang Sheng took out a piece of demon beast meat from his storage ring and gave it to it as well.

He thought the snow eagle would be wary and not eat it, but Wang Sheng didn't expect the snow eagle to be so accommodating, eating all of its own and then rudely tearing apart and swallowing the piece of demon beast meat Wang Sheng had taken out.

After eating, the snow eagle actually stood on the edge of the nest and called out to Wang Sheng.

Wang Sheng was stunned. Was it inviting him to jump on its back and fly? Just as he was thinking, the snow eagle pushed off with both claws, opened its wings, and flew out of the nest.

Instinctively, Wang Sheng took a step forward, stepped on the edge of the nest, and without regard for safety, aimed at the snow eagle's back as it flew away and jumped out.

Thump, Wang Sheng's body landed directly on the snow eagle's back, and the snow eagle's body sank slightly. But this weight was not a problem for the snow eagle at all, and it flew up before its wings had even flapped once.

It was still the same old routine. The snow eagle took Wang Sheng on hundreds of trips up, down, inside, and out of the Thousand Desolation Land, and then flew high into the sky again.

Wang Sheng knew that this was the snow eagle trying to get rid of him. Without further ado, after the snow eagle took him to a high altitude, he took the initiative to do a fancy parachute jump and returned to the ground.

In the following days, Wang Sheng accompanied the snow eagle on such a trip every day. The snow eagle seemed to have found a fun toy. As soon as it saw Wang Sheng waiting for it in the nest, it would take the initiative to send him food, and then jump out of the nest together, having a great time.

The more skilled they became, the more Wang Sheng realized that although he was becoming more and more familiar with the snow eagle and seemed to have figured out some of its temperaments, it was precisely because of this that Wang Sheng realized that he could be friends with the snow eagle, but he couldn't control the snow eagle like he controlled the giant bear.

The snow eagle's cultivation was much higher than the giant bear's, although it sounded like just a difference of one major realm. But Wang Sheng knew that the difference between the peak of the Legendary Realm and the Tenth Realm was not simply a matter of nine plus one equaling ten.

The Tenth Realm was a realm of super experts, and super experts had the pride of super experts. The snow eagle also had the pride of a super expert; it would not be conquered.

After realizing this, Wang Sheng felt a little discouraged, but he quickly understood. Why was he so ambitious as to want to conquer a Tenth Realm expert? If the snow eagle were a person, would he dare to be so arrogant?

Continuous playing allowed Wang Sheng and the snow eagle's relationship to heat up rapidly. Wang Sheng also figured it out, and it was good to maintain such a relationship. Anyway, when needed, Wang Sheng could also ask the snow eagle to give him a ride in the name of a friend. At other times, he would let the snow eagle fly freely in this sky!

"By the way, Big Snow, can I ask you for a favor?" When Wang Sheng was once again riding the snow eagle to the highest point, Wang Sheng used the Five Word Formula to send his meaning over: "You also know that I have a companion, who is also a good guy. Can I bring him with me to play with you tomorrow?" Big Snow was the name Wang Sheng gave to the snow eagle; it had already accepted it.

The snow eagle let out a cheerful long cry. This time, Wang Sheng clearly felt the snow eagle's meaning: Yes!

Huge progress! Wang Sheng also laughed happily, then hugged the snow eagle's neck and let go at the highest point, once again enjoying the taste of free fall from high altitude.

"Still no success?" The old daoist was cooking fresh demon beast meat sent by the snow eagle for Wang Sheng, patiently asking.

"Not successful, but you can also say it's successful!" This time, Wang Sheng didn't hide it from the old daoist. He first answered a question that confused the old daoist, and then told him about his insights on the snow eagle's back.

"It's good that you can think like this!" The old daoist breathed a sigh of relief and said appreciatively.

In fact, from the beginning when he discovered that the snow eagle was a Tenth Realm demon beast, the old daoist knew that Wang Sheng's goal was very slim, but he didn't want to directly dampen Wang Sheng's enthusiasm, so he just waited quietly, waiting for the day Wang Sheng could figure it out himself.

Now the old daoist had finally waited. At least now the old daoist was very gratified that Wang Sheng wasn't the kind of person who would stubbornly stick to one path.

"He and I are friends now," Wang Sheng said with a smile, then gave the old daoist a surprise: "So I told him I wanted to bring a friend to play with him, and he agreed!"
