Chương 396: Chapter 396: It was me, Dragon God, being a fool, wasting time with you until now.
"It's you! Haven't seen you for a few days."
Lin Fan's face was full of smiles. He had a good impression of the Dragon God. The opponent's strength was formidable, allowing him to experience the joy of battle. However, he noticed that the Dragon God seemed to be in a bad mood, with a hint of anger on his face.
The Dragon God leaned on the table with both hands, looking down at Lin Fan. Suppressing the anger in his heart, he asked, "Are you toying with me?"
"Toying? Absolutely not. I never toy with others." Lin Fan shook his head, not understanding what the Dragon God meant. Lowering his head in thought, he seemed to recall something. "Are you talking about waiting for me to battle in the starry sky?"
"It seems you still remember."
The Dragon God sneered, a faint domineering aura emanating from him.
Lin Fan said, "If that's the case, I apologize. I genuinely forgot. But I have a reason. I can't fly, and I can't stay in the starry sky for too long."
He was telling the truth.
He really couldn't fly.
For him, flying wasn't important. His jumping speed was already quite fast. If they were to battle in the starry sky, he could use other planets as springboards to move quickly.
"Hahaha…" The Dragon God actually laughed out loud. "Are you kidding me?"
He was truly furious.
A powerful being who could contend with him, the Dragon God, actually claimed to be unable to fly. If this wasn't toying with him, then what was it?
Lin Fan raised three fingers. "I swear, I really can't fly. If I'm lying to you, I'm a dog."
The Dragon God stared at Lin Fan in a daze. He didn't seem to be boasting. Their eyes met, and Lin Fan's gaze was sincere, pure, and without a hint of deceit.
"You really can't fly?"
"Really."
"Alright then, how about this deity teaches you how to fly?"
"Really? Then thank you. I love learning. But it's morning now, and we're both a bit hungry. Let's eat something together. The food here is quite good."
Lin Fan warmly welcomed the Dragon God. The Dragon God felt like he had encountered a strange fellow. He couldn't understand what Lin Fan was thinking. Cultivators at his level didn't need to eat.
His esteemed opponent actually still ate food.
It was a bit unacceptable.
The Dragon God sat down. The surrounding diners looked at him curiously. His attire was peculiar. Some people stealthily took out their phones to take pictures. Click. The screens of the phones of those who took pictures cracked, startling the diners, who were clearly frightened.
Taking pictures of the Dragon God's true form was blasphemy. Not taking their lives was already an act of mercy.
"I will teach you how to fly. I hope you can battle with me then. I waited for you in the starry sky for several days. Do you know that your broken promise, to a true powerhouse, is a form of disrespect?" The Dragon God said in a deep voice.
Lin Fan said, "I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it. If I learn to fly, I will definitely spar with you. I enjoy sparring with strong opponents."
"Good." The Dragon God nodded in agreement.
The owner came over with a steamer basket of soup dumplings.
"Try it, it's very delicious." Lin Fan gestured for the Dragon God to try some. The taste was truly excellent. Life was good now, and they could eat whatever they wanted.
The Dragon God picked up a dumpling and slowly put it in his mouth. After taking a bite, the flavorful broth filled his mouth. His eyes lit up, and he nodded in satisfaction. Although this food had no practical use for him, the taste was indeed good.
"Pretty good, right?" Lin Fan said.
The Dragon God said, "Indeed, it's good."
If the people of the starry sky races saw the Dragon God of the Dragon Clan conversing amicably with Lin Fan, their eyes would surely pop out. Was this still the Dragon God they knew?
Often, only those of equal strength could interact peacefully.
If there was a disparity in power, it would be different.
In the starry sky, this was the law of survival. The strong could always act with impunity, while the weak would suffer a miserable fate. The consequences of offending the strong were such that they might not even have control over their own lives.
The Dragon God looked at the ginseng and slowly said, "I advise you to keep a close eye on this ginseng. In the starry sky, it would certainly be an object of contention. If you encounter a crazed individual, they are capable of anything."
"I know. With me protecting it, nothing will happen." Lin Fan smiled.
He had a point. Lin Fan's strength was formidable. With his protection, few could snatch the ginseng from him. From their previous encounter, the Dragon God couldn't say he had much confidence in suppressing Lin Fan.
The chances were slim.
He even had a feeling that he might be the one suppressed by Lin Fan.
But until the final moment, it was too early to say anything.
Breakfast ended.
On the grassy area beneath the cross-river bridge.
"Let's do it here. Old Zhang and I both like this place." Lin Fan said.
The Dragon God said in a deep voice, "This deity will teach you how to fly. Ordinary flight relies on one's own power, but for a powerhouse like you, you should learn the best."
"This is a flight technique of my clan. Take a look."
The Dragon God raised his hand, and a jade slip floated out, slowly unfolding before Lin Fan. The characters on it emitted light, like divine script.
Lin Fan watched carefully, his brow furrowed, as if comprehending the contents.
The Dragon God stood by the side, waiting patiently. This flight technique required a long time to cultivate to a high level, and even entry-level mastery wasn't easy, requiring exceptional talent.
But for cultivators at their level, entry-level mastery should be relatively simple.
Gradually, the Dragon God noticed something was amiss. Logically, even if he couldn't grasp the basics, it shouldn't be this slow.
"What's going on with you?" The Dragon God couldn't understand Lin Fan's actions. Couldn't he even grasp the basics of something so simple?
Lin Fan said, "I don't understand it."
Hearing this, the Dragon God's eyes widened. "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
"I thought I could understand it."
"I…"
Speechless!
The Dragon God was truly speechless. Not understanding was one thing, but not saying anything, and then saying he thought he could understand it when asked… If he had already understood it, why would he believe he could understand it?
"Where do you not understand?" The Dragon God asked.
Lin Fan pointed to the characters on the jade slip. "These characters look familiar, but I don't understand their meaning."
"I'll teach you."
In order to enable Lin Fan to fly, the Dragon God patiently explained, wanting to battle with him. For anyone, receiving personal instruction from the Dragon God would be a blessing, a stroke of luck cultivated over several lifetimes.
"Alright, thank you." Lin Fan was very polite. He wouldn't miss the opportunity to learn something new, just like he enjoyed learning things in the starry sky before.
It was very good.
The Dragon God's cultivation was extremely high. When explaining the technique, his voice was like the sound of the Great Dao, possessing all sorts of mystical abilities. Anyone listening could make rapid progress, but for Lin Fan, it felt somewhat profound.
In his previous dream, he would often browse through those books.
He enjoyed reading them.
But even after reading for so long, he hadn't successfully cultivated a single technique. This was quite peculiar. It wasn't that he lacked talent, but if he did have talent, after reading for so long, it shouldn't still be like this.
"Do you understand now?" The Dragon God asked.
Lin Fan said, "I understand."
The Dragon God said with relief, "Since you understand, then cultivate."
"Okay."
Time passed by.
Looking at Lin Fan, the Dragon God wanted to pin him down and thoroughly ravage him. Are you messing with me again?
"Didn't you just say you understood?"
Lin Fan said, "I really did understand."
"Then cultivate." The Dragon God suppressed his anger, trying to remain calm. Having reached such a high level of cultivation, his state of mind was naturally elevated. He wouldn't be easily angered.
But the current situation really made him want to explode.
He had never imagined communication could be so difficult.
Any junior, upon seeing this flight technique, would treat it as a treasure, wholeheartedly cultivating, wishing they could stick their head into the technique and not go anywhere, just honestly cultivating.
"I am cultivating," Lin Fan said.
The Dragon God said, "Then have you succeeded?"
"No." Lin Fan shook his head.
The Dragon God sighed deeply, feeling a bit tired.
He didn't know why, but he was gradually losing hope in Lin Fan. He had never met such a person.
"Forget it, stop cultivating." The Dragon God waved his hand, retracting the jade slip. He felt like a fool, encountering such an unreasonable fellow. It was a complete waste of time.
Lin Fan said, "What's wrong? I'm very interested in new things. You can continue teaching me."
"I can't teach you. There's no way. You can't learn it. It was this deity who overthought. This deity seriously doubts your talent. How did you even cultivate to this level?" The Dragon God truly had doubts. He felt that the other party's talent didn't match their strength at all.
Speaking of cultivation, Lin Fan was actually quite interested.
"Speaking of cultivation, I can tell you, my cultivation method is very simple, and Old Zhang often helps me. Because of his help, I've been able to progress so quickly."
"For example…"
"Acupuncture cultivation method."
"Electric current cultivation method."
"Several cultivation methods have been very effective."
Lin Fan talked on and on, but didn't notice the significant change in the Dragon God's gaze, a change visible to the naked eye.
"Alright."
The Dragon God stood with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance. "I have witnessed your strength, and I no longer have any desire to spar with you freely in the starry sky."
He looked at Lin Fan, slightly regretful.
By now, he understood. The Lin Fan he had acknowledged might really have something wrong with his head. He had actually been busy with someone with a problematic mind until now, and he didn't even know what he had been busy with.
"Farewell!"
With that, the Dragon God instantly vanished.
Lin Fan looked into the distance. "He left in such a hurry."
Old Zhang said, "He's not very polite. He didn't say goodbye to me when he left."
"Next time we meet, tell him about it and ask him to change." Lin Fan said.
Old Zhang said, "Was it really that difficult just now?"
Lin Fan thought for a moment and said, "It was alright, but I don't like flying. I still prefer jumping. That feeling is really great."
Changbai Mountains.
The Dragon God appeared here.
The Dragon Ape respectfully knelt and bowed. "Ancestor…"
"Mm."
The Dragon God nodded indifferently, his gaze directed towards the distance, towards the place filled with extremely dense baleful aura.
