Ultra: Dragon Sword Journey

Chapter 455: Jealous Gaddy, it is not easy to choose a master for the artifact

After Zhao Ming had a brief but efficient conversation with Kihiko Tsunesuke in the Super Victory Team command center, he headed towards his office.

Inside the office, Camilla, the chief secretary, sat at her desk, concentrating on processing some unimportant documents. Meanwhile, the dog, Geddy, lay lazily on the floor, eyes slightly closed, seemingly taking a nap.

The moment Zhao Ming stepped into the office, the originally quiet Gaddi seemed to suddenly sense something, raised his head abruptly, and then rushed out of the office.

Seeing this, Camilla couldn't help but smile. She knew without even looking that the guy had returned. After all, this wasn't the first time this had happened. Gaddy's warmth and affection for Zhao Ming was the epitome of a "lackey."

In the corridor outside the office, sunlight streamed through the windows, creating patches of dappled light and shadow. Zhao Ming approached slowly, his figure looming in the light and shadow, seemingly blending in with the surroundings.

Zhao Ming looked ahead and saw a puppy running toward him. Gaddy's tail swayed happily from side to side. The way it paws bounced briskly back and forth was incredibly adorable!

Just as Zhao Ming bent down, ready to hug the pouncing Gaddy tightly, something unexpected happened. Gaddy, who had been happily wagging his tail, suddenly stopped all movement.

Its small and delicate nose began to twitch rapidly in the air, as if catching some special smell.

Instantly, a subtle flicker of vigilance flashed across Gaddy's previously bright eyes. Then, like a well-trained detective, it circled Zhao Ming's body, carefully sniffing every part. Its movements were gentle and cautious, as if it were confirming something important.

After a brief silence, Gaddy suddenly let out a loud bark. The sound was crisp and piercing, echoing in the silent corridor, shocking everyone.

All the hair on Gaddi's body stood up, and his eyes were wide open, staring at Zhao Ming, as if he wanted to see through his body to the secrets deep in his heart.

Gaddy's barking became louder and more rapid, and as the shrill sound continued, its tail lashed out like a whip, each swing carrying uncontrollable fury.

Gaddy's appearance is both funny and a little scary. His big round eyes are full of questions and dissatisfaction, as if saying: "You heartless guy, do you have another dog outside? Don't try to deny it, I can smell the scent of another pet on you!"

As Gaddy's barks echoed through the hallway, the entire space was filled with his rage. This usually adorable and docile puppy had now launched an "attack" on Zhao Ming, leaving Zhao Ming deeply conscious of his discontent and anger.

Zhao Ming, looking helpless, quickly squatted down and softly comforted Gaddy, "You misunderstood! That's the scent of Hanaijiro, the darling of the Super Victory Team. You're the only one in my heart!"

Gaddy didn't appreciate it and continued to bark at Zhao Ming, but his voice gradually became softer, as if he was muttering, "I don't believe it! You must have another pet behind my back!"

Zhao Ming had no choice but to pick up Gaddi and take him into the office, turning him around and around until he took out his favorite snack.

As soon as Gaddy saw the snacks, he immediately stopped barking and made a "woooo" sound from his mouth. The sound was as if he was announcing his victory to the world. Then he happily picked up the snacks and ate them with relish. The anger he had just felt disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"Huh... It's a good thing I didn't bring that little thing Hanajiro here, otherwise if it really angered Gadi, it would become a giant and would definitely tear down my office." Zhao Ming sighed with a long sigh!

"There was almost a fire in the harem, and now there's a fire among the pets too. How can I say hello to you!" Camilla came over after delivering the approved documents, with a gloating smile on her face, like a cunning fox.

Zhao Ming gave Camilla a fierce look and said unhappily, "Don't gloat over other people's misfortune." After comforting Gaddi, he sat at his desk and began to write a report for this survey, describing in detail the ins and outs of the exploration of the planet Melani.

In his report, he expressed his view that humans should be down-to-earth and work hard to transform the atmosphere of stars into a habitable environment, so as to explore the universe, rather than just focusing on those dangerous and unknown floating planets!

Just as Zhao Ming was writing his report, the communicator on his desk began to buzz rapidly. He frowned, put down his pen, and answered the call. It was Xincheng, the guy who wanted him to come over.

Zhao Ming had shown off his prowess today, wielding his new Lava Sniper rifle and bringing down the monster Moss Armor with a few shots. This had everyone incredibly excited, and not long after returning, the guys couldn't wait for him to pull out the sniper so they could go to the training ground and test it out together.

"Hey, you guys! I knew you were eyeing the Flame Territory Dragon Soul!" Zhao Ming said angrily. After a brief pause, he shook his head helplessly, "Never mind. I'll eventually hand it over to you anyway!"

After Zhao Ming finished his mission report, he handed it to Camilla to be delivered to Director Fukami's office. He then headed towards the Black Storm team's training grounds.

As soon as Zhao Ming stepped into the training ground, he was surrounded tightly by Shinjo, Ken Fudo, and Rika Saeki.

"Boss, quickly take out the Flame Domain Dragon Soul and let us open our eyes!" Xincheng's eyes lit up and his face was full of anxiety.

Zhao Ming smiled helplessly and retrieved the box containing the Flame Domain Dragon Soul from his space equipment. After a brief pause, he quickly assembled it in front of everyone. A moment later, a Barrett heavy sniper rifle with dragon-shaped lava patterns was assembled.

Unable to suppress his curiosity, Budongjian reached out to touch it. Zhao Ming was quick to swat his hand away and warned, "Don't move! This spear is extremely powerful. As the saying goes, 'Strong moves lead to self-destruction'. This is the eternal law of nature!"

After saying this, he picked up a stone and placed it on the gun. In an instant, the stone melted into slag.

"Oh my god!" Ken Fudo and Rika Saeki were stunned by this scene. The gun was so powerful.

Seeing this scene, Xincheng was so excited that he danced with joy, "Boss, let me try the power of this gun!"

"Your current elemental power should be enough to control it!" Zhao Ming nodded and handed the Flame Domain Dragon Soul to Xincheng.

Xincheng slowly stretched out his hands to take the gun. The moment his fingers touched the gun body, an extremely hot lava-like heat was suddenly released, as if to melt his hands instantly.

Xincheng's brow furrowed tightly, a pained expression on his face. The force of the lava rapidly eroded his palm, bringing waves of burning pain. The pain was almost unbearable, and he almost cried out.

Xincheng was not knocked down by this powerful force. He quickly mobilized the fire and earth elements in his body, gathered them in his hands, and formed a resonance of the same elements with the lava power of the gun body.

As resonance occurred, the erosion rate of the lava force slowed down significantly, and Xincheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that the more powerful something is, the more people it will choose to use it!" Xincheng said with emotion, holding the gun tightly.

There was a hint of awe in his voice. After all, in that brief moment just now, his body, which had been baptized by powerful elemental forces several times and should have been extremely strong, was almost melted by the lava power of the Flame Domain Dragon Soul.

Zhao Ming, standing by, saw this and smiled faintly. He said softly, "Without some real skill, you really can't control this gun. You'll only end up ruining yourself!"

Although Zhao Ming's tone was calm, the profound meaning behind it was self-evident. To sum it up in eight words: Choosing a master for a divine artifact is not easy...
