Worthless Profession: Dragon Tamer

Chapter 480, Ning Shuan’er

Translator: Silavin

A woman’s voice echoed through Heaven and Earth. As she roared, the lava below her boiled over, ultimately condensing into several dozen-meter-long Magma-Phoenixes flew out, soaring in the air before falling back into the lava.

The woman’s hand clearly held a fire-red jade pendant. The pendant was shaped like a Phoenix, strung together by a black thread-like strands of hair. At this moment, the black strand was constantly twisting, withering, and finally turning to ash before dissipating.

Seeing this scene, the beautiful woman trembled, anger burning to its peak!

“ARGH!” She roared again, her flame-like hair flying, with more Magma-Phoenixes condensed from the lava, continuously flying out. However, these Magma-Phoenixes flew chaotically, with several not returning to the lava but scattering and crashing to the ground.

Instantly, the area within several kilometres around the lava looked like it had been repeatedly bombed, devoid of all vegetation.

Such commotion naturally attracted the attention of many nearby.

Thirty kilometres away, a white-haired man around fifty years old rode a massive, Flying Mount that was coated in fire. He approached the source of this disturbance.

The Flying Mount looked almost identical to a Phoenix, but of course, it was not a Phoenix, which was a Divine-level existence comparable to Dragons.

This was a Divine Firebird, possessing some Phoenix Bloodline. They were equivalent to Flying Dragons in relation to actual Dragons. In terms of Bloodline, the Divine Firebird was even purer than that of Flying Dragons.

Being able to find such a powerful creature as a Mount indicated that this Elder was extraordinary.

That was indeed the case.

The Magma-Phoenixes flew from the lava. While not true Divine Beasts, they could still be seen as powerful Skills. Such formidable Skills would make even Fourth Profession Players retreat, with a high chance of serious injury if touched.

Yet this Elder seemed to ignore the Magma-Phoenixes. He simply flew straight towards the red-haired woman.

Naturally, many Magma-Phoenixes crashed down directly at him.

But whenever a Magma-Phoenix came within ten meters of his body, a large net woven from flames would appear around him and the Divine Firebird, instantly shattering the Magma-Phoenix.

In the blink of an eye, the Elder had arrived beside the red-haired woman, with the Divine Firebird beating its wings and hovering in mid-air.

The Elder stood on the bird’s back, expressionless, and coldly commanded. “Shuan’er, calm down! You are at a critical moment of your closed-door cultivation. You only need enough Earth Cores to break through. Why would you suddenly stop cultivating and waste so much Fire Spiritual Energy!?”

“Father!” The red-haired woman called ‘Ning Shuan’er’ looked at the Elder, her voice angry and desperate, “Tu’er has died! My Little Brother is dead!! Do you know where he is!? The Puppet thread on the jade pendant he gave me has completely decayed! This means he is gone! He is gone!! ”

Saying this, Ning Shuan’er spread her palm, showing the Elder the jade pendant.

The jade pendant was actually nothing special, merely a birthday gift Ning Tu had given to his Sister.

The black thread strung on the pendant, however, was extraordinary. It was a Puppet Thread woven by Ning Tu’s own power. Through the movement of this Puppet Thread, Ning Shuan’er could always uncover Ning Tu’s location.

Only if Ning Tu died would this Puppet Thread decay and disappear.

Ning Shuan’er and Ning Tu shared a deep Sibling bond. Although she was in closed-door cultivation to break through to a Higher Level, upon sensing the Puppet Thread was decaying, she could not suppress her emotions and had blown up her entire cultivation site.

The Elder naturally understood the significance of the black thread completely disappearing. His expression instantly turned grave. “Tu’er is dead? How is this possible…”

“Father! My Brother is in the Ning Family, right?” The red-haired woman suddenly clenched her fist, crushing the jade pendant.

The pendant fragments pierced her palm, but she felt no pain.

The Elder pondered for a moment and truthfully said. “Tu’er left a few days ago. He was heading to the outer region of the Western Border to obtain more Earth Cores for you. The Huang Family, who promised the Earth Cores, has been delaying delivery. This has delayed your breakthrough. So, Tu’er volunteered to personally go to the Huang Family.”

Hearing this, Ning Shuan’er’s eyes widened. “Could the Huang Family have harmed him because they were dissatisfied with our Ning Family forcing them to mine?”

The Elder said. “How could the Huang Family possibly have the ability to harm Tu’er? I think there’s more to this matter than meets the eye. Let me send some people to investigate.”

“Shuan’er, you must stabilize your mind and continue focusing on Levelling Up. This is a crucial moment for you. You should quickly break through to Level 110. At Level 110, you’ll obtain your second Divine Skill. Once that happens, your power will increase by leaps and bounds, and our Ning Family will have more confidence to compete for the soon-to-be-opened God’s Tomb Secret Realm. As for Tu’er, honestly, even a hundred of him is not as important as this single Level Up of yours.”

These words deeply displeased Ning Shuan’er.

She knew she was the Ning Family’s genius.

While Ning Tu was also a Level 100 Player, in the Ning Family, especially in the main branch, his talent could only be described as ‘mediocre’.

After all, the Ning Family’s foundation was terrifyingly deep. Even a pig could be raised to reach Level 100.

But between Level 100 Players, there were a ton of differences.

Like Ning Tu, compared to Ning Shuan’er – though they only differed by 9 Levels, their Combat Power difference was more than tenfold.

Once Ning Shuan’er reached Level 110, their Combat Power difference would be like Heaven and Earth.

The way the Family treated them reflected this reality as well.

However, it had to be said that as Siblings, their relationship has always been good. Ning Shuan’er had never looked down on her Little Brother because of his average talent. Compared to her Father, who was indifferent to familial bonds and only valued power, Ning Shuan’er cared more about her Sibling relationship with Ning Tu.

“Father! No one’s life is more important than my Brother’s!” Ning Shuan’er stubbornly shouted. “I’m personally going to the Huang Family to see how my Brother died!”

“You!” The Elder’s face turned solemn, and even his Divine Firebird let out a cry, clearly intending to stop her.

“No matter what, you must wait until you reach Level 110 before leaving! This is not a request. This is an order! Regardless of Ning Tu’s death, your Level Up is far more important! You are at a critical moment of gaining insight into your Profession Characteristics. If you get distracted and fail to sense it, who knows when you’ll be able to break through to Level 110!?”

“Do you know what missing the Tomb of Gods Secret Realm would mean for our Ning Family!?”

Silavin: I was considering whether to change break through to just Level Up. But, judging by the context, I guess it is fine to leave it as’ break through’ from time to time.
