I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 730 The 23 Matters of the Dragon Palace

"Young Master Lu, I heard from Qian Bao'Er that you won against Cyan Dragon Aoqi in a sparring match?"

It was now the third day since Lu Zheng and his companions had arrived at the East Sea Dragon Palace.

Earlier, Ao Jin had personally taken Lu Zheng and the others on a tour of the Dragon Palace, and after that, he left them in the company of some Dragon Race disciples they were becoming familiar with. He would drop by whenever he had time or during meals.

The one asking the question was a Jade Dragon Race man usually seen clad in armor.

Ao Kuo.

It was said that he was around the same age as Aoqi and had once pursued her. However, Aoqi declared that anyone who wanted to marry her must first defeat her, and subsequently, she gave Ao Kuo a beating.

Speaking of marriages within the Dragon Race,

although the Dragon Race is divided into the four great races of Golden Dragon, Jade Dragon, Cyan Dragon, and Azure Dragon, these races often intermarry.

Nevertheless, their children are not hybrids but fully inherit the bloodline of either the mother or the father.

After all... the foundation of the four great Dragon Races is the Ancient Divine Dragon. Despite their separations, the differences among them are minor, much like the difference between double and single eyelids compared to the Ancient Divine Dragon.

When Lu Zheng understood this, he could only internally remark, "Why even bother with divisions?"

But when Lu Zheng learned about the differences between the fundamental inheritances of the Jade Dragon Race and the Golden Dragon Race, all he could do was exclaim, "Amazing!"

The Golden Dragon focuses on Body Refinement and Qi Refining, making every scale like a vajra, indestructible for eternity.

The Jade Dragon specializes in Refining Spirit and Qi Refining, resulting in a spirit as pure as jade, immortal and imperishable.

Lu Zheng was speechless, "You're telling me this is just the difference between single and double eyelids?"

Moreover, the Cyan Dragon specializes in Qi Refining and Refining Spirit, while the Azure Dragon focuses on Qi Refining and Body Refinement.

It could be said that the four great Dragon Races have taken four relatively different paths.

Lu Zheng strongly suspected that this was a deliberate move by the Dragon Race to distribute risk. Otherwise, the relationships among the four great Dragon Races wouldn't be so consistently good, and they wouldn't intermarry.

This is called having unity in diversity while maintaining independence without merging into one path.

The Dragon Race does this...

Could the Daoist Sect and Buddhist Sect be similar?

Lu Zheng blinked, pondering how factions within the Buddhist Sect sometimes fight due to conflicting ideologies, while the Daoist Sect also has practitioners deviating and leaving.

Never mind, let's not think about it...

Lu Zheng snapped back to reality and replied to Ao Kuo, "I can only say I had a slight advantage, but it wasn't a win."

"That's still impressive!" Ao Kuo exclaimed, with a glint in his eye, "How about... we have a spar?"

Compared to the reserved nature of the Abnormal People from the Central Plains, Ao Kuo was being quite restrained to only suggest a sparring session now.

"Sure," Lu Zheng had no objection.

"Shall we head to the martial arena? There's more space there," suggested Ao Kuo.

"But wouldn't it be difficult to use Water Techniques there?" Lu Zheng inquired.

After all, the martial arena was distant from the water's surface, making it convenient for Lu Zheng but requiring Ao Kuo to counter the arena's drainage array force to draw water.

"No problem!" Ao Kuo patted his chest, thinking that this way, he might have an excuse for losing.

So Lu Zheng asked, "Do you usually spar at the martial arena?"

Ao Yun, who was accompanying Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying, shook her head and smiled, "If it's about using water, it usually happens directly in the sea."

"Just perfect; I've recently learned a new Water Technique, and I'd like to try it out with Brother Ao," Lu Zheng said, cupping his hands. "I ask Brother Ao to be gentle."

Ao Kuo blinked, unsure of how to respond.

If he thought Lu Zheng underestimated him, Lu Zheng seemed earnest, asking him to go easy.

If it was serious, is he really using a newly learned Water Technique to compete with a dragon? 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Wouldn't that be bullying you?" Ao Kuo blurted out.

Lu Zheng laughed heartily, then leaped towards the surface above, "Brother Ao, don't let your guard down. This Water Technique of mine is the 'Profound Turtle Water Control True Spirit Secret Technique,' an ancient inheritance, not much inferior to the Jade Dragon Race Secret Technique."

Ao Kuo's eyes lit up, "Is it really the ancient Profound Turtle inheritance? Great, then I won't hold back!"

Ao Kuo laughed aloud and then drew out a long spear, thrusting it forward.

...

A moment later.

Lu Zheng sheathed his sword, cupped his hands, and said, "Brother Ao's Dao Practice is profound; we ended in a draw."

"Well said! Well said!"

Ao Kuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then laughed heartily, becoming even more enthusiastic, "Tomorrow, I'll take you all out to sea for fishing. Thanks to the Spiritual Qi of the Dragon Palace, the local sea fish are incredibly fresh and delicious."

Lu Zheng nodded with a smile, "Then we won't stand on ceremony. Besides, I can handle the cooking myself, so I'll take over the kitchen tomorrow."

Ao Kuo laughed, "That would be delightful!"

The people nearby laughed at the exchange, especially Ao Yun and Ao Run, who laughed the hardest.

...

The next day, upon hearing about the fishing trip with Lu Zheng cooking, Ao Qian arrived with a group of Dragon Sons, Daughters, and Grandchildren.

Ao Kuo widened his eyes and said, "We're going fishing; what are you all coming for? Normally, you're not fond of fishing."

Ao Qian replied with good reason, "We're not going to fish; we're going to eat fish!"

"Aren't the fish in the palace enough for you?" Ao Yun was a bit dumbfounded; she didn't want to take care of these little ones.

"We want to eat the fish made by Brother Lu Zheng!"

Ao Qian and Liu Qingquan had shared plenty of modern snacks with these little dragons over the past days, also praising Lu Zheng's cooking to the skies, making these little dragons want to visit the Central Plains.

Upon hearing from Liu Qingquan that Lu Zheng was planning to cook fish, they naturally rushed over, insisting to join.

Ao Run was speechless, feeling somewhat embarrassed as well. If not for Ao Qian being Ao Jin's youngest daughter, she might have given her a spanking.

"I'm not taking you out; if you want to go, you'll need your parents' permission." Ao Kuo came up with an excuse.

"Father has already agreed and even assigned General Xie and General Jing,"

Ao Qian pointed with her finger, and Lu Zheng and the others saw two robust men standing not far away, followed by hundreds of Water Soldiers.

Ao Jin had tasted Lu Zheng's cooking.

With his current Dao Practice and status, he wouldn't lose composure over food but considering that Ao Qian might not enjoy Lu Zheng's cooking for a long time, he didn't object to them joining for a little feast.

Ao Kuo, "..."

...

And so, the leisurely fishing trip turned into a group outing for the small nobles of the Dragon Palace.

There was no longer any enjoyment of fishing since they would use magical power to fish out the big ones from the sea and bring them to Lu Zheng.

"Brother Lu Zheng, is this one okay?"

"Brother Lu Zheng, will this fish taste good when cooked?"

"Brother Lu Zheng, Qian Bao'Er said your squirrel fish is the best. Can you make squirrel fish with this one?"

Lu Zheng blinked, gazing at the nearly three-meter-long bluefin tuna in front of him, lost in contemplation for quite some time.

He wondered what would happen if he posted pictures of making squirrel fish out of this fish online.
