Lucky Riot And The Mystic Dragon

Merely, he had no guard up against Capital Blacc. They were sworn-brothers. Lucky felt they couldn't be closer even if they were blood.

"You have no idea, Capp," Lucky sighed with emotion, before turning to look Capital in his eyes. He was instantly shocked and yelled out, "The eighth level, huh? How fast! That's pretty awesome. Did you breakthrough last night as well?"

"Haha, yeah, it turns out I can use water to cultiva… wait, did you just say 'as well'?!" Capital wore a smug face until he realized the significance behind his friend's last words.

"Cultivate with water?" the Eye of Horus on Lucky's forehead shined as he wore an inquisitive look. He asked more questions with a radiant smile, "That's way too awesome! Does that mean that you're able to absorb the natural origin energy within the water and turn it directly into your own essence?"

"Ah.." Capp was caught off guard by today's Lucky. Still, he was growing accustomed to his brother's personality switching from utterly emotionless to fearlessly dramatic whenever this nearly invisible third eye appeared on Lucky's glabella. As the person who knew him best, Capp knew that this was what Lucky was really like on the inside, but it still felt weird seeing it out loud.

Apparently, Lucky had become increasingly proficient with this creepy ability.

However, Capital didn't think it was that bad since he could see his brother smile playfully. He only worried because he didn't understand it or the origin. After all, Lucky was like his only family member. How could Capital be content if something was to happen to him? Capp smiled back and responded, "Yeah, it's not bad. Sidney Littlefoot won a vial of mystic syrup in a bet with her friend. I don't know what it was, but I felt my blood tingle when I saw it. So I convinced her to let me have it. Now I know that I should find more items like this in the future."

"Mystic syrup type items?" Lucky's eyes brightened, "Wait out here, I'll be back."

"Mn." Capital watched as Lucky moved so quick that he left after images. These images appeared like a half-Lucky half-mystic snake as he phased into the building. Capp was actually unable to see through this guy's strength and speed. The essence light in his movements had already surpassed the profound level and reached the mystic. Capital felt dazzled, as he realized his friend had also cultivated an eighth level Hard Body with the power of the ninth level! This was completely shocking! Even though Lucky had magically reached the seventh level before himself, that had something to do with the sacred blessings!

As far as Capp knew, Lucky's speed at cultivating was slow, even though he was far stronger than others at his level. Capital and Bravo and already caught up to his level, and Capital was subconsciously confident that he would step into the eighth level ahead of his friend. However, this seemed to not really be the case.

How did he do it?

Back inside the dorm, Lucky rushed to his room and opened the door. Inside, Scarlet Mercury's epically s.e.xy body entered his vision immediately, as she danced and twirled in his mirror. Three fist-sized orbs made of azure flames that sparkled with blue snakes of electricity danced around her, while two more profound essence orbs that gave Lucky a familiar feeling floated silently behind Scarlet's back.

Her big b.r.e.a.s.ts swayed, and her perk derriere bounced in all the right ways. Lucky's thoughts were temporarily short-circuited as he stared at her in a daze. Looking at the five profound essence orbs, he suppressed the evil fire within himself with much effort. Scarlet turned around and smiled at him seductively before laying on his bed and beckoning him over with a mischievous smile.

Dozens of miles away in Kenneth Royale's courtyard, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of a boy who nervously paced around a tree stump.

"Elder Rob, has there been any news?" asked Kenneth Royale in his courtyard. The current Kenneth Royale looked incredibly pitiful. His breathing haggard and bags under his eyes. His long hair was messy, and he still smelled of yesterday. For a noble such as himself, this was downright appalling.

Yet this was his current state.

"I have searched the entire grounds as carefully as I dared to do. Just now, I was able to detect the faded battle qi of Edmund, but he seems to have vanished. I fear we've been made," Elder Rob's face was grim and worried, "The fact that they haven't come looking for us confirms that they don't know whom they've killed. I must report this matter to your father immediately."

Kenneth's heart sunk to his a.s.s when he heard the words 'your father.' His older cousin was now missing-in-action, all due to his own command. One inspired by jealousy, no less! This was definitely not okay, and his father would hold him in contempt without a doubt. Kenneth sighed and dismissed this guardian of his, "Fine, you are free to go. However, before you leave, rid us of that punk personally!"

"..." Elder Rob was momentarily speechless as he carefully chose his words, "Young lord, I cannot accept this command. We do not know what expert this twerp has following him. Follow up with little Scarlet, she dotes on you, right? She should have a better idea of who is helping that brat. Do not worry, even if I were willing to let Edmund's issue go, the family would never agree!"

"Mn," nodded Kenneth after thinking in indignation, "I will follow your advice, Elder Rob. Send father my regards."

30 minutes later…

"You little rascal, I can't believe it!" Scarlet Mercury was in total bliss, her skin glowing and magnificent. Her long jade legs were wrapped around Lucky from the back. He, who had just put his pants on, enjoyed the feeling of her soft body as she embraced him. Her lovely jade peaks felt incredible as they pressed against his back. Seeing the content look on this brat's face, Scarlet made a snort and s.u.c.k.e.d her teeth. Her profound essence orbs finally retreated into her body, "This time you definitely loved me gently. You really made me feel special. However, last night, you conquered me! You took me over and over again like a wild animal. It was… amazing."

Lucky scratched his nose speechlessly in embarrassment. Should he say that him at that time was basically no different from a primal beast in human form? He had already totally lost control of himself. In fact, he barely remembered it. Scarlet smiled beautifully as she never imagined that the beast from last night could show such a shy and cute expression this morning.

"This young miss has not only reached the basic Profound Orb Stage thanks to young master's 'guidance' last night. I've also reached the late-phase of the basic Profound Orb Stage. Tell me, how should I reward you?" asked Scarlet sweetly, dense affection swimming in her eyes.

'You mean, that wasn't the reward?' thought Lucky to himself, while he played it cool, "Just make sure you attend to my baby sister after I start my trial. After all, until it's over, I will not be returning. If I find out she had been bullied or harmed in any way, I will slaughter all of those responsible and leave the school."

"Sister? The young lady from last night, Chevy Raizen?! That child's your blood sister?!" many things seemed to flash through Scarlet's mind as she reeled in shock. She would do her utmost to protect this girl from being mistreated. After all, she didn't take Lucky's words as play. She had witnessed his ruthlessness last night.

"Indeed, so treat her as if she is me. Or maybe a bit better, she has quite a temper. Also, I have a close brother who needs some mystic syrups or other liquids with dense origin energy. Do you have anything like this?"

"Mystic syrup…? How old are you two, eight? They're called elixir!" Scarlet leaned over the bed and grabbed her handbag, "Syrup is what you could call a few drops of this."

After Scarlet opened up the bag, Lucky felt a most curious fluctuation that he was beginning to vaguely recognize. Every time someone used a spatial storage device, he would feel this vibe. Suddenly a pang of realization hit him.

Space power!

'I can identify space power? Is that normal?'

Scarlet Mercury's handbag was obviously a spatial treasure refined for her storage purposes. Lucky couldn't help but wonder how much money such devices cost? He would have to find a way to start earning coins.

Maybe he could just keep robbing Silver Mercury gangsters?

This was also a form of karma, right?

"Here you go," Scarlet pulled a small vial out of her handbag, then handed it too Lucky with a smile, "This is called the Profound Limit Eraser elixir. It's an alchemical elixir suitable for Initial Profound Orb Stage mystic artists to consume. Its purpose is to provide the energy catalyst required to complete more Profound Orbs. I was planning to use it, but now… I seem to no longer require it."

Lucky's eyes lit up when he saw the elixir. This was perfect for Capital! With this, he might be able to reach the peak of the tenth level or better! Lucky wasn't sure of the extent one could achieve with such a little vial, but he was excited to help his friend grow stronger. Only with strength could they walk through this continent unhindered! Only with reliable partners would Lucky be able to kill Marc Raizen in the shortest period.

"Say, babe, I've got a question," said Lucky suddenly. Scarlet blushed as usual when Lucky called her 'babe,' and nodded for him to proceed, "What is a profound essence orb exactly? How are they made? What are they for? What is the difference in ranks for your stage?"

"These… are big questions but… okay," Scarlet pulled Lucky down on top of her and nibbled on his ear like a kitten, "The Profound Orb Stage is totally different from the Hard Body Stage. At the tenth level of the Hard Body Mystic Stage, you form your Essence Sea under your abdomen. Once this essence sea has developed, the next step is replacing your regular mortal body's blood with profound blood. The first step in this process is completed by condensing a crystalized sphere that is a fusion of refined energy, DNA, and lifeblood essence. This will ultimately become your first Profound Essence Orb, and you will officially enter the Profound Orb Stage.

"To advance to the basic level, you need to condense a total of three profound essence orbs. For the advanced level, it would be six orbs, and once you have nine orbs, you reach the perfected level. That's also the peak of the Profound Orb Stage. Such a thing is still very far away for the likes of us."

Lucky didn't actually agree with the last statement, but he was enlightened none the less. He knew what to do in the future.

Thus, Lucky changed his clothes, and he jet back to the courtyard and casually handed the vial over to Capp, who was waiting ever so impatiently by now. Lucky laughed at this, throwing out some parting words as he ran past, "That mystic syrup is some excellent stuff, bro! Try it out after class!"

"Woah, okay. Wait, Kasino, where you going?!" shouted Capp after his friend.

"The Trial starts soon! I have to leave early! See you next month!" Lucky Riot replied, his voice growing smaller as the distance increased.

"This guy…" Capital didn't know what to do with this best friend of his. He turned around only to see Scarlet Mercury slowly sashaying out of the dormitory. Her bearing was graceful, and her appeal was twice what it was the last time he saw her.

She was no longer wearing a maid uniform, and instead wore a s.e.xy purple dress that hugged her from every angle. No one who saw her would believe this was the bitter and indignant woman from just a few weeks back, especially as she still wore the slave collar even without her maid uniform. As she approached close to Capital, she looked him up and down and revealed a slight smile. Capp was stunned as he hurried to straighten himself up under this beauty's gaze. He was about as tall as Margot Frenzy and a couple of inches taller than the gorgeous woman in front of him.

"Greetings, Mrs. Mercury!" said Capp with his most manly voice, while giving her a junior's salute.

"At ease. You are Kasino's closest friend. Akin to brothers, no? You may call me Big Sister Scarlet, there is no need to be so distant," smiled Scarlet Mercury as she walked past.

Capp was at a total loss for words, so he just did as she asked, "Big Sister Scarlet!"

"Good." Scarlet Mercury nodded in satisfaction. She already no longer identified with the name 'Mrs. Mercury' as much as she used too. It was already a fact that her husband hadn't touched her in a few months. Now, she was already sleeping with Lucky. As long as he willed it, she would drop her surname. As long as he wanted it, she would inherit her man's name. Scarlet no longer d.e.s.i.r.ed to touch her husband, nor did she wish for him to contact her. She truly felt as if she belonged only to her master, Kasino Shreya Riot.

Of course, that muscled-headed dummy Vino Mercury was experiencing a total lack of suspicion. He thought she was just mad at him for something.

"Dunderhead…" She said under her breath, "Your wife spends several nights in the home of a handsome young man, and what? You don't even get a bit jealous… you don't have one suspicion... you don't even notice me..."

"What was that Big Sister Scarlet?" asked Capp suspiciously when he heard this teacher grumbling to herself.

"Nothing. Listen to this, brat. Don't waste that Profound Limit Eraser mystic elixir, it's precious stuff. That's some brotherhood you two have, I don't know another warrior that wouldn't have kept that little treat for himself when the time came," Scarlet Mercury continued to walk as she spoke. Before long, she had already departed from the courtyard, "Anyway, later brat. Tell my young master to send for me once he returns to the academy. I'll be attending to his baby sister until then."

Capp was speechless, and his body was shaking. He didn't immediately realize that Scarlet had mentioned a 'baby sister' of Lucky, "Mys.. mys… mystic… eli.. xir? Holy shit…"
