Rise Of The Dragon Emperor

Shakuni looked at Ronan in silence as he was too stunned to even speak. Looking at both his arms extended to block an incoming attack he felt a weird feeling rise up in his heart as he could not beleive his own emotions at the moment.

There was joy in the surprise he felt as he felt his blood tingle as an adrenaline rush kicked in.

He , a level 196 warrior felt goosebumps on his skin as he heard the fainting words of Ronan to put some respect to his name as he thought ‘ What a guy … ‘

Having searched for someone like Ronan for many decades shakuni looked at the potential disciple of his in amazement as a small smile formed on his face.

Ronan had beautifully turned his disadvantage into his advantage as while he could not direct the elemental affinity boom in his body completely , he did not try to do it either .

Letting it scatter in every possible direction , Ronan made shakuni beleive that the attack was the best he could do and hence trapped him into using his finger to block it.

Shakuni did not think that Ronan could control elemental affinity of nature , as once an elemental affinity left one’s body it essentially became nature’s energy that was hard to manipulate unless directly still in contact with the source.

Natural elemental manipulation was an extremely high level technique that only a few level 120 or higher warriors could master , but Ronan managed to pull it off as a level 101 warrior.

Caught completely off-guard by the three directional attack , Shakuni was forced to either dodge using his legs or block the attack using his arms , either way losing the challenge._.

Hence when he reflexively blocked the incoming thunder attack and felt his palm sizzle with its energy , Shakuni was too stunned to even speak for a moment as he realised that he lost the bet.

Looking at the fainted Ronan Draco he could see the beast that he could create should he become this man’s master as the very thought excited him beyond beleif.

‘ He is definitely the one ‘.

Shakuni was a beleiver of the prophecy and he strongly believed that Ronan was the one who would someday fulfill the prophecy.

Although he had his doubts before meeting Ronan , at this moment he had more confidence in his judgement that he might actually be the one.

The kid definitely had a Sigma mentality from a young age and it was the only thing that he could not teach to a student.

All his techniques all his resources all his valuable knowledge was wasted if he imparted it to a disciple who did not have the aptitude to grasp it or a will to wield it.

Tutored in a right way he could see that Ronan could overturn the very order of the world as the kid lacked nothing but a proper master to guide him in his path to becoming a peak level warrior in this world.

Looking at Alexander he said ” This kid ….. he’s something else “.

Alexander felt his chest swell up in pride at this compliment as coming from shakuni it was the ultimate achievement that Ronan could stack.

Augustus laughed heartily as Percy checked on his brother’s condition with a smile on his face.

Ronan had only overexterted himself was was sleeping soundly as his body hit a reset to relax his muscles that were pushed to their limits.

As Ronan started to snore , Percy broke out in laughter as he felt boundless affection looking at the cute face of his baby brother.

Percy had long known that Ronan would someday surpass him , however he did not expect that day to have arrived so soon.

Although the two had not sparred yet and had equal levels , Percy had no doubt in his mind that he would be seriously injured if not dead by the two moves that Ronan displayed against Shakuni.

He felt melancholic in his heart as despite all his training and resources as the first prince , his baby brother still managed to surpass him while living in the forest.

Had Ronan been inside Avalon for all this time , only fate would know how far he would have progressed in this short time.

However this ignited a fire inside Percy , he knew that it was not yet time to allow Ronan to surpass him , as he was not ready to concede the position of the strongest brother yet.

Deciding to train extra hard starting today , he felt motivated to work hard like he had not felt since a long time.

Looking towards shakuni he displayed a bright smile as he said ” That’s my brother for ya “.

Shakuni was again pleasantly surprised as the joy on Percy’s face was genuine . In Everlon feuds between family were common , and brothers usually hated brothers and did everything they could to climb to the throne .

Kin killing kin was a common practice in the royal society hence it was shocking to see brotherly love in this day and age and genuine one at that.

Once again shakuni was impressed with the house of Draco as he realised that Alexander had not only made the two strong warriors but also taught them valuable morale lessons.

Finding newfound respect for the king of Avalon shakuni said” How bout we take a walk boy , i have a proposal for you “.

Alexander did not accept or decline immediately as he thought about it for a moment before he nodded his head and lead the way to take Shakuni to the palace garden.

The reason why he did not accept immediately was because he knew what shakuni wanted to propose , but finding no way to decline his request he eventually had to agree to it anyway.

Walking down the Avalonian garden , shakuni admired the local flora and fauna as he said to Alexander ” You know what i want to say boy … so what do you think ? Let me take in Ronan as my disciple , i promise to groom him into the best warrior this continent has ever seen in a thousand years “.

Alexander sighed , he had suspected that shakuni would propose exactly this and it was what he was the most afraid of.

A part of him was happy that a man like Shakuni could become Ronan’s master , but a part of him was not ready to part with the kid right after he had returned home after such a long time.

From the way Sierra reacted to him fainting , Alexander knew that if Ronan went away again … Sierra would die of sadness , hence he could not agree to it.

But Shakuni wasn’t a man who could be declined either especially when his proposal was so beneficial to Ronan , as Ronan could not find a master better than him in the entirety of Everlon

The dilemma was huge for Alexander , and after being silent for a few minutes he could only put his pride as a king aside and beg as a father.

Alexander said ” I’m proud that you find my son worthy to be your disciple , and if it were upto me i would say yes in a heartbeat.

But i don’t make life choices for my children , and i can but only make a request to a man of your stature since i cannot compell you.

My wife and my mother are very fond of Ronan , and he has only returned home after many years of staying god knows where.

I understand that this opportunity is incredible for Ronan but his mother will not be able to handle the seperation again.

I am a king of Avalon and i cannot move with you to your sect because of my duty and my position.

My family has been completed after a long time sir shakuni , So please understand that i cannot send Ronan with you at this moment “.

Shakuni was a little dissapointed to hear this reply but he respected Alexander for voicing his thoughts.

Shakuni was also a family man himself who loved his wife to the ends of earth and he could understand Alexander’s peril in not making her sad . However he was not ready to give up on Ronan either , hence after careful deliberation he re-made his proposal

Shakuni said ” I understand … The kid is 13 now , although wasting time at such a prime time is a criminal wastage of his potential , how about he joins my sect when he turns 14? that should give him enough time home “.

Alexander beamed in joy at this proposal as he calculated time till Ronan’s birthday.

It was 9 months and a few weeks away giving Ronan ample time at home before departing to the sect , hence Alexander said ” I have no qualms then. But you must get Ronan to agree himself , like i said i don’t make decisions for him “.

Shakuni chuckled and scratched his nose at this , the kid seemed to have a bad impression of his and was hellbent on destroying the world order. But shakuni had confidence in becoming his master , as he seemed to grasp a fundamental quality of Ronan … one that he could exploit into becoming his master for.
