Covering the Sky: Rise Starting with Card Draws

"Don't lift it!"

Longma roared in frustration and indignation.

Although what Chen Hao tossed up and dropped was the dragon horn, not the dragon root, the two were not much different in the eyes of the dragon horse. They were both its dignity and its most precious and hardest things.

At this moment, its pride, its dignity, and its most precious treasure were being played with and weighed by Chen Hao. It even saw a hint of disdain in Chen Hao's eyes, which made it feel even more ashamed and resentful.

Hearing Longma's grief-stricken roar, Chen Hao, who had almost lost his composure, couldn't resist teasing Longma.

"Do you want more?"

Chen Hao smiled and handed the dragon horn to the dazed dragon horse.

"Alas?!"

At this moment, Chen Hao was nothing short of a devil in the eyes of the Beast Kings, who not only killed people but also destroyed their spirits!

"I'm going to kill..."

Longma's eyes were bloodshot, and he was panting heavily. Even though he knew he was no match for Chen Hao and had suffered such a humiliating defeat, he couldn't help but want to fight him to the death.

"I can reattach these dragon horns to you, even stronger, more imposing, and more powerful than before."

Chen Hao's voice was like heavenly music, instantly making Longma's eyes clearer.

"real?"

Longma looked at Chen Hao expectantly at first, but quickly shook its head and asked warily, "So what's the price? I warn you, I, Longma, would rather die than submit and will never become your mount!"

"You're overthinking it. I'm not interested in taming mounts, but I do need a few helpers who can fight me and assist me in my training."

Chen Hao shook his head.

Longma is neither female nor a pure-blooded dragon, and has a terrible personality, just like those scoundrels like Rogue Dragon and Black Emperor. He wouldn't even look at him.

"That sounds nice, but they're just itching to fight and using us as punching bags!"

Longma wanted to spit in Chen Hao's face, but it could tell that Chen Hao was indeed not interested in riding it and looked down on it at all. It felt both relieved and somewhat annoyed.

"So, are you going to do it or not?"

Chen Hao asked bluntly.

"Okay, but you have to promise to attach the dragon horns to me first, and you can't mistreat us without reason."

Longma's eyes darted around, glancing at the few onlookers, and he chuckled, subtly dragging the other beast kings into the mess.

Once the dragon horns were properly attached, it immediately ran away, refusing to believe that the guy could catch up with it. Even if it could catch up with him by teleporting for a short time, the dragon horse didn't believe that the guy's stamina could match its own.

"Um?"

The beast kings were taken aback, sensing that something was amiss.

"Okay."

Chen Hao readily agreed, then turned his gaze to the other beast kings, "What do you say? If you're willing to be my sparring partners for a while, I can share the Fire God Cave with you, so that the Dragon Horse won't have it all to himself."

"As long as you don't intentionally abuse or beat us, it's not unacceptable. Being a sparring partner is just a small matter."

  

After exchanging a glance, the Golden Bull King and the Black Ape King spoke in deep, muffled voices.

Me too.

The Black Ape King sheathed his greatsword and nodded fiercely.

"I have no objection."

The Taoist priest readily agreed.

They fought fiercely with Longma all this time just to be able to cultivate in the Fire God Cave. Now that Chen Hao is stronger than them and is willing to share this precious cultivation place, what else is there to say but let's do it!

"readily!"

Chen Hao laughed heartily, then unleashed the "Dao Embryo" divine power, capable of repairing damage, gathering the essence of heaven and earth to begin reconnecting the broken horns of the dragon horse.

"Eek, oh my gosh~"

The scheming dragon horse was feeling incredibly happy. Its eyes rolled and darted around erratically, its brain stopped thinking, its tongue flicked wildly, and the whole horse began to shake madly.

"Wow, is it really that serious?"

Chen Hao himself was startled. He had not expected the dragon horse to react so violently. He quickly let go and jumped back to avoid the horse's madness.

"What's wrong with Ryoma?"

The Golden Bull King's eyes widened, a hint of fear in his heart.

"Don't worry, this bastard is having a great time, but he's having too much fun, so much so that he's lost control and become unrestrained. What a bastard, he's a disgrace to us."

The Black Ape King glanced at Ding Zhen and saw that Longma was drooling with pleasure, but this behavior was too blatant, so he muttered with some disdain.

"That's true."

The Taoist's expression grew increasingly strange.

"Awesome! Huh? Why did it suddenly stop!"

Longma's pleasure abruptly ended, and he shook his head uncomfortably. Staring at Chen Hao, who was wiping his hands with a look of disgust, as if brushing away something dirty, he said urgently, "You haven't even finished fixing my horn! How could you run away like that? You have to take responsibility! Running away halfway through is just too unethical!"

The dragon horse is a special holy spirit formed from the essence of heaven and earth. When Chen Hao used the "Dao Embryo" divine power, it gave him the feeling of returning to his mother's embrace and being conceived anew.

Although it is the Holy Spirit, without parents, or rather, heaven and earth are its parents, it is a kind of motherly feeling that it has never experienced before.

Moreover, in just a short while, Longma felt that his whole body was nourished from the inside out, and he naturally transformed and evolved into a more perfect life.

The universe is in harmony with him, and the whole world is blessing and protecting him, providing him with assistance. This feeling of automatically becoming stronger under the doting love of heaven and earth is simply wonderful, making Longma unable to stop.

"Isn't it already connected? Although I've stopped, the residual effects of my innate divine power, 'Dao Embryo,' will continue for a while."

Eat well these next few days to nourish your body, and the deficiency at the broken dragon horn will naturally be repaired and perfected.

Chen Hao felt that Longma was a bit crazy. It was already a jerk, and it had a foul mouth. It wasn't a good bird. Now Longma was even showing signs of developing into a milk dragon. It looked shabby. He didn't really want to touch its dragon horns anymore, lest he become shabby himself.

"A natural talent? What race are you? How can you possess such an incredible ability?"

Longma looked at Chen Hao in surprise and asked curiously.

"I am a human, but I am a little luckier than ordinary people. I was born with the constitution of an innate Dao embryo."

Chen Hao answered calmly.

"Human? How is that possible?! You're really not some Holy Spirit Stone Man transformed, or some humanoid Holy Spirit formed from the essence of heaven and earth?"

Longma found it hard to believe. How could this be a person instead of a Holy Spirit? Could a person be so abnormal?

"Don't overthink it. I have no connection with the Holy Spirit Clan and am not a brother you've never met."

Chen Hao said speechlessly, "I'm not a naturally born holy spirit, nor am I a divine embryo formed directly from the boundless essence of heaven and earth like the Seven Absolute Heavenly Maidens. I have absolutely nothing to do with the Dragon Horse."

"Are all humans with special physical constitutions as monstrous as you, born with such powerful supernatural abilities?"

Longma felt a little envious and a little jealous.

"It depends on the person. I was just lucky, and by chance, my potential was unleashed. My supernatural abilities are not entirely due to my physical constitution, but more due to chance encounters. I guess I'm lucky."

There are people stronger than me and people weaker than me in the outside world; you can't generalize about people.

Chen Hao shook his head. "When it comes to extraordinary talent, apart from a few special cases, who can compare to the Holy Spirits nurtured by heaven and earth?"

However, in this world, mining and tomb raiding are rampant, and with a certain fat man fueling the flames, the atmosphere has become increasingly corrupt, preventing the vast majority of Holy Spirits from naturally reaching full maturity.
