Picking Up Attributes From Today

Panda Novel

“Congratulations, Your Majesty!”

“That child has great aptitude and is amazingly talented! As expected of the empire’s royalty!”

“Didn’t I say so? How can such an amazingly talented person be a human…”

The people’s opinions did a dramatic 180-degree turn and changed instantly. While there were only suspicions and perplexity earlier, they had all turned into praises and compliments now!

This was inevitable, after all!

While they could cast doubt upon Meng Lei and make things up about him previously, they couldn’t do so anymore. Meng Lei was a Golden Colossal Dragon Person and a legitimate member of the royalty. Thus, he wasn’t someone whom they could speculate about!

“President Angus, what do you have to say now?”

President Fred looked at Angus and said, “You had claimed that I was deceiving His Majesty just now, but I’d like to ask who’s the one deceiving the emperor and fooling the people now?

At his words, Angus’ countenance turned extremely awful and constipated, yet he couldn’t rebut him at all!

Rebut?

There was nothing he could rebut him with!

The moment Meng Lei had displayed his Golden Colossal Dragon bloodline, there was no longer any point in saying any more!

16 years old!

A Saint Domain Great Magician!

A Saint Domain-level body!

A double bloodline-holder!

Even if a person like that hadn’t been a member of the royalty, the emperor would still have wished to make a connection or two with them, much less when Meng Lei possessed the Golden Colossal Dragon bloodline and was legitimate royalty!

“President Angus, your doubt is not without cause.”

Frederick the 32nd spoke up at this point. Then, he went on and said, “However, before you raise your doubts, you should have thoroughly investigated the situation prior to bringing it up to me. Otherwise, it would seem as though you’re sowing discord and slandering a fellow official!”

“I will keep Your Majesty’s admonishments in mind!”

Angus responded respectfully, and then, he slunk back to his seat gloomily.

At the same time, in the Lost Continent…

“My body has improved quite a fair bit! That’s a surprise!”

Meng Lei felt rather comforted as he viewed his stats interface. He’d initially thought that at his body’s current level, it’d be tough for normal bloodlines like the Golden Colossal Dragon’s to strengthen his body by much.

After all, the Golden Colossal Dragon was just a Saint Domain Magical Beast while he himself already possessed a Saint Domain-level body. How much could the Golden Colossal Dragon possibly strengthen his body?

To his surprise, however, it had actually strengthened his body by quite a fair bit!

Host: Meng Lei

Race: Human (Fire Dragon bloodline <52%>, Fire Demon bloodline <47%>, Golden Gods-Slaying Ant bloodline <10%>, Gods-Slaying Rat bloodline <1%>, Golden Colossal Dragon bloodline <50%>)

Wealth: 22.3 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals

Physical Body Constitution: Saint Domain (12,063,858,705/100 billion)

Spirit: Saint Domain (1,028,303,785/100 billion)

Magic Power: Saint Domain (1,025,877,840/100 billion)

Laws of Nature: Fire-Elemental (0.2%), Wind-Elemental (0.1%), Thunder-Elemental (0.1%), Metal-Elemental (0.1%), Light-Elemental (0.1%)

From the stats interface, one could see that the Golden Colossal Dragon bloodline assimilation had raised his Physical Body Constitution attribute from the previous 11 billion to 12 billion points. It had increased by a whole 900 million points!

That was in no way a small increment!

If he’d used his Wealth for point redemption instead, he’d have needed a whole 9 billion gold coins. That would have been a pretty hefty sum of money!

Roar!

Elsewhere, Barbarossa was also shocked by Meng Lei’s appearance. He didn’t expect Meng Lei to actually be a Golden Colossal Dragon Person!

And this… infuriated him even further!

“We’re both members of the royalty, but I’m a Golden Colossal Dragon with the purest bloodline, whereas he’s just a bastard with an impure bloodline! So why should he be stronger than me?!”

It was the same logic as to how ordinary humans wouldn’t be jealous of how rich Jack Ma1 was, but they would be jealous of friends and relatives by their side who were richer than them!

That was exactly Barbarossa’s current frame of mind. He was the one and only pure-blooded Golden Colossal Dragon in Dragon God Empire’s younger generation, thereby destining him as the one to ascend the throne and become the ruler of the empire!

There was already nothing he could do about the 13th Princess being firmly a notch above him, but that guy who had popped up out of nowhere was actually stronger than him, too! How could that possibly do?

Roar!

With a ferocious roar, Barbarossa crushed the pure gold pendant hanging around his neck. Right away, dazzling golden light spilled forth and instantly enveloped Barbarossa within!

Boom!

As if a brilliant golden sun, light shone from Barbarossa! Dazzling and golden, it shrouded the whole area around him!

Roar!

At the same time, Barbarossa’s aura also skyrocketed! In a mere instant, it had strengthened by several times!

As the golden light gradually died down, Barbarossa’s body also expanded by quite a few rounds. His muscles became even stronger and filled with power, his horns and claws became even sharper, and his 100-meters-long body expanded to 300 to 400 meters!

The most fascinating thing was that a thin layer of golden glow was rippling around him. The mist rose and fell as it flowed around him constantly!

“What’s going on, Ol’ President?” Meng Lei was stupefied. “Why has that guy powered up again?”

“Obviously, two first-class spells were sealed in the pendant that that guy crushed just now,” Ol’ Amos explained, “If my eyes didn’t deceive me, the two spells are likely Metal Guardian and Metal God’s Blessings!

“Metal Guardian is a defensive single-target first-class spell while Metal God’s Blessings is an offensive single-target first-class spell.

“Judging from their might, those two etal-elemental first-class spells are the handiwork of a Metal-Elemental Saint Domain Great Magician who’s at least in the high-level or limits-level stage. They’re several times mightier than most typical first-class spells, so you’d best be careful!”

“Metal Guardian? Metal God’s Blessings? The handiwork of a metal-elemental Saint Domain Great Magician who’s at least in the high-level or limits-level stage?”

Meng Lei licked his lips as he remarked, “That guy sure is rich! To think he even has something like that!”

At the same time at the Dragon God Cathedral…

Everyone stared in stupefaction at the magic screen as the place fell strangely silent.

Sharp-eyed spectators could all tell that Prince Barbarossa had used a special magic device to enhance his abilities!

Although the usage of magic devices wasn’t prohibited in the exchange competition, openly using one to enhance one’s abilities in a fair one-on-one showdown was honestly a move beneath one’s dignity!

Moreover, his opponent was also a member of the royalty like him. To use a magic device on a fellow member of the royalty, his breadth of mind was honestly…

“What an embarrassment! He has thoroughly embarrassed the royal family!”

Frederick the 32nd narrowed his eyes as he said, “Throw him into the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest when the exchange competition ends, so that he can reflect upon himself!”

No-one dared to make any response. While His Majesty could admonish Prince Barbarossa at will, they, on the other hand, couldn’t comment carelessly!

“I’ll never lose to a bastard like you!”

Barbarossa roared furiously in the sky. Then, he transformed into a stream of golden light that rushed straight toward Meng Lei. The current Barbarossa was just like a wild horse geared in heavy armor—indestructible yet capable of destroying everything!

“Do you think there’s nothing I can do about you just because you’ve decked yourself in two layers of metal? Fine, I’ll give you a taste of what a real first-class spell is!”

Meng Lei let out a cold laugh. Then, he slowly uttered six words, “Wood-elemental first-class spell, Myriad of Nature!”

Buzz, buzz!

Meng Lei had only just spoken when pure, unadulterated wood-elemental magic power abruptly burst forth from all around him, dyeing his entire self into a green-colored sun!

Simultaneously, Wood Elements several kilometers from where he was also started to converge madly toward him upon being summoned!

Splurt!

Splurt!

Amid soft, strange sounds, the plants on the ground started to grow at an insane rate as if they’d been injected with growth hormones!

10 meters, 100 meters, 1,000 meters…

Earth and rocks rolled about as gigantic trees sprung into the air!

In just a short few breaths, the battleground in front of the cliff had transformed into a forest. Several towering trees morphed into wooden dragons with high fighting spirit and shot toward Barbarossa in the air!

Roar!

Barbarossa let out several furious roars as he easily broke wooden dragon after wooden dragon. Then, with an overwhelming force, he charged toward Meng Lei!

“Hurhur, you’re pretty good!” Meng Lei sneered.

Then, he commanded, “Myriad of Nature!”

“Myriad of Nature!”

“Myriad of Nature!”

“Myriad of Nature!”

“Myriad of Nature!”

“Myriad of Nature!”

“Myriad of Nature!”

“Myriad of Nature!”

“Myriad of Nature!”

“Myriad of Nature!”

One must admit that Barbarossa, who had two first-class spells cast on himself, had indeed gone through a dramatic spike in combat power. Be it his speed or the force of his attacks, both had been enhanced by quite a few times!

It was just a shame that the one he’d run into was Meng Lei, a mutant who could cast instant release of first-class spells and had no fear of magic power depletion!

As he bombarded Barbarossa with ten successive Myriad of Natures, thousands upon thousands of wooden dragons wound around Barbarossa and submerged him entirely!

Were there 500 of them? 1,000? Or tens of thousands of them?

There was no end to their numbers!

Therefore, Barbarossa’s outcome was destined!

As thousands upon thousands of wooden dragons wound around him one after another, Barbarossa’s speed started to fall further and further…

By the time he’d charged right up to Meng Lei, the infinite number of wooden dragons had already firmly bound him. All he could do was glare at Meng Lei and nothing more!

“Do you know why Madara1 can’t defeat Hashirama2?

“This is the reason why!”
