Worthless Profession: Dragon Tamer

Chapter 1141, Killed. Three Rewards!

Translator: Silavin

*Boom!*

The power of Lu Fan’s Dragon Fang Strike detonated inside the Bronze Qilin, releasing catastrophic Damage.

Its bronze body burst apart. It split into pieces, scattering in every direction, fragments raining across the battlefield.

Even those scattered remnants still pulsed with the heavy presence of Ancient God Power.

That power desperately strained to reform the Bronze Qilin’s broken pieces, trying to drag them back together, to rebuild its body, to restore.

But, Lu Fan gave it no opportunity.

Bao Bao unleashed his Dragon Breath in a frenzy, pounding the bronze fragments with relentless power, keeping each piece too damaged to fuse.

Lin Dong and Xing Chen deployed their Skills in concert, some attacking the fragments, while others locked them in place beneath sheets of ice, denying the Bronze Qilin even the possibility of reassembly.

The Bronze Qilin had already been unable to withstand Lu Fan and the Pet Dragon Dream Team. Now, with its body blown apart, incapable of even releasing Skills, there was nothing left it could use to resist. The unceasing onslaught made it impossible to gather itself.

The Ancient God Power within it behaved as though a large hole had been torn open. It began to rapidly bleed away.

Across the scattered bronze fragments, the Ancient God Power was dissipating. The golden radiance flickered and pulsed, growing dimmer and dimmer, until at last it faded and was entirely gone.

The bronze fragments darkened. The glow vanished. They returned to what they had always been.

And in that moment, Lu Fan felt a vast torrent of Experience Points surge into his body. It was a surge enough to raise him 3 Levels in a single go.

The others, all except for Ouyang Bai Ge, had participated in the fight against the Bronze Qilin, and each of them gained 1 Level as well.

Lu Fan was deeply satisfied with the result. Ouyang Bai Ge’s suggestion had been correct. In all the Divine Beings Lu Fan had slain, he had almost always gained a single Level. This time, he had 3 Level Ups at once. The sheer volume of Experience Points the Bronze Qilin had contained was staggering.

By Lu Fan’s estimate, the Bronze Qilin’s activation of the Slaughter Heart within itself had multiplied its Experience Points by at least fivefold.

One Boss worth ten. An absolute windfall.

With the Bronze Qilin dead, there was no further reason to continue hammering its remains.

Lu Fan called out to his Pet Dragon Dream Team, signalling them to stand down. One by one the Skills ceased, and the battlefield fell into silence.

As the dust settled, the others finally stepped into the area that had been the battle’s heart.

It was a scene of total devastation. Across the ground stretched marks left by Skill after Skill, scattered everywhere. They were reduced to fragments barely larger than a fingernail, lay the remnants of bronze. Some had come from the Bronze Qilin. Others from the Bronze Trees.

The Bronze Qilin’s pieces were easy enough to identify. Even now, they still faintly held the Ancient God Power’s luminescence, which was a glow that lingered long after the creature’s death. Touch one, and the heat was almost unbearable; even those with High Defence Attribute would struggle to hold a fragment in bare hands.

Lu Fan swept his gaze across the ground , and there, at the very point where the Bronze Qilin had been destroyed, three orbs of light hovered about.

A surge of genuine pleasure moved through him. He had not expected this.

He had assumed that a Monster so thoroughly reshaped by an Ancient God would yield only Experience Points, with no equipment Rewards. After all, dropping equipment was a mechanic of this era. Ancient God Power was a force that existed above the World Mechanics; wherever it touched, the mechanics were altered. The Bronze Qilin in particular had been so thoroughly transformed by it. Lu Fan had perceived, even through his senses, that its physical structure itself had been remade, which was why it could channel such tremendous Ancient God Power and carry some of the Slaughter Ancient God’s characteristics.

The fact that it yielded Experience Point was already remarkable enough. Dropping Rewards on top of that, it was more than what Lu Fan had dared imagine.

But an unexpected windfall was still a windfall. Lu Fan was not about to let it go to waste.

He reached out and drew the first orb of light toward himself, then dispersed its glow with a sweep of his hand and looked upon what it held.

Ouyang Bai Ge and the others drifted over, gathering around him to see the Reward together.

The first Reward was a heart, as radiant as the Sun, blazing with light.

The moment it settled into Lu Fan’s hand, he felt Ancient God Power surge from it in waves.

At the same time, the heart shimmered with the unmistakable colours of a Legendary Grade item, proving its worth beyond any doubt.

But when Lu Fan read its Attribute Panel, he knew at once that this was no ordinary Reward.

It was the Slaughter Heart.

According to the Attribute Panel, using the Slaughter Heart would grant a new Profession: Slaughter Envoy while also enhancing one’s Attributes.

Had he not already known what the Slaughter Heart truly was, he might well have taken it for a Profession Change Scroll that unlocked a powerful Hidden Profession.

Beyond transforming a Player into a pawn of the Slaughter Ancient God, the item had a second function: if used at a specific location, it would open a Transport Array.

Where that location was, and where the Transport Array led, the Attribute Panel did not say. For anyone without prior knowledge, the second function would have been entirely useless.

But Lu Fan knew. The specific location must be the Coordinates Yei Xiu had spoken of before and the Transport Array led to the Sacred Jiang Family.

This Slaughter Heart was also the key to that Sacred Land.

Lu Fan and Ouyang Bai Ge exchanged a glance. She gave a small nod. She understood what he was thinking, and she agreed without a word.

Lu Fan stored the Slaughter Heart away. He would open the remaining two Rewards first, and then use the Slaughter Heart to find the location of the Sacred Jiang Family.

[There is no time to waste.] So, Lu Fan opened both remaining Rewards at once.

What showed next was something he had not anticipated. Both Rewards were identical. Two bronze pieces, like works of art with exquisite features. Both were Legendary Grade, and were Special Enhancement Materials.

Their function was to increase the hardness and Attributes of metal-type items.

Lu Fan studied their Attribute Panels for a moment, then called the Little Blade Armour Dragon King down from his body and asked whether it wanted to eat one.

The Little Blade Armour Dragon King sniffed at the bronze piece. Then, it extended its tongue and licked the piece into its mouth, swallowing it whole.

The moment the bronze piece entered its stomach, a bronze radiance bloomed from within the Little Blade Armour Dragon King’s body. The blade armour functioning as its hide began to spread with bronze veining. This pattern flowed outward until it covered it completely.

The Little Blade Armour Dragon King let out a long, satisfied roar, clearly more than content with what this bronze piece had done to its body.

Lu Fan checked its Attribute Panel and found that its Attributes had risen by a substantial margin across the board.

The Little Blade Armour Dragon King was already a Mythical Grade Dragon King, so its Grade itself could not be elevated further.

But Lu Fan’s estimate if an Epic Grade Pet that had a metal body ate one of these bronze pieces, it would be enough to raise it all the way to the Legendary Grade.
