"The Dragon Saliva Fruit is extremely precious. It was nurtured in the dragon blood pool for thousands of years. This may be purposeless for ordinary people, but as for you and me, who possesses the dragon bloodline in our veins, this serves as the most valuable treasure in the world. If one owns an intact Dragon Saliva Fruit, it can refine his feeble bloodline, and allow it to become extremely pure and clear. Either that, or it can change his blood into the lower level of the dragon blood," Scott explained.
He then continued, "If my blood can turn into the lower level of the dragon blood, it is certain that I will reach the Grand Realm in half a year. If I can't change my blood, it can only empower my bloodline and improve some of my strength, but there is not a slightest chance for me to arrive at the Grand Realm.
In your case, however, the effect of the fruit will be different. Right now, your bloodline is perfectly pure. Once you arrive at the peak stage of the Wonder Realm, you can refine the fruit and use it to change your bloodline. After that, with the great power of the dragon blood, I'm sure that you will reach the Grand Realm! So, you take the fruit. Having it for myself would be such a waste."
As Scott concluded, Darren nodded his head in comprehension.
'It's such an honor to have a brother like him, ' Darren thought. Not many people would be as generous and selfless as Scott. Darren was deeply moved by this grand gesture. Scott voluntarily gave up his chance to reach the Grand Realm and offered it to Darren. It was so noble of him to make such a sacrifice.
No one could change the world in a single stroke, but Scott's kindness made all the difference. Considering that they knew each other for only a short period, anybody else wouldn't think twice to kill him when tempted with such a rare treasure. But Scott, the good person that he was, chose the path of unselfishness. As far as Darren knew, if a person could reach the Grand Realm, it meant that he could be above everyone else in the world. He would be the real king of the martial world, and everyone would have to obey his orders. Such a lure of power could be both tempting and daunting. But Scott resisted such a temptation.
"In that case, you should take the half of the Dragon Saliva Fruit," Darren offered after thinking further. "Even if your chances are slim, you can still can make an effort and make it work for your advantage. This is a rare chance for you too, and now is not the time for you to give up. As for me, I have no idea when I will be arriving at the Wonder Realm. Nothing is settled yet, so I probably won't have the chance to use it at all," he stated. He looked at Scott and noticed the torn expression etched on his face.
He knew that Scott wanted to refuse him on his offer again. So before Scott could say anything, Darren feigned anger and boomed, "If you insist on giving it to me, I will think that you are looking down on me and you are afraid to owe a debt of gratitude to me."
"There's really no changing your mind, huh?" Scott sighed and admitted defeat. He saw right through the false anger Darren was showing. Scott knew that he was just putting up a front for him to accept his offer. Scott finally submitted and whispered, "You saved my life twice. I owe it all to you. Without you, I can no longer exist in this world. So yes, I will take the Dragon Saliva Fruit. If I can reach the Grand Realm in half a year, I will definitely share my honors with you!"
"Ha-ha. Here you go! That's the spirit!" Darren heartily laughed and wrapped his arm around Scott. "You should take a bite of the fruit right now. After you make a full recovery from the injuries, we can get out of here as soon as possible." Darren handed the Dragon Saliva Fruit to him.
Scott took the red fruit from his hand, carefully cut off a thin slice and swallowed it. "A slice of the Dragon Saliva Fruit will be enough to strengthen my bloodline and make me recover from the injuries. We can get out here in half a day," Scott said.
"Darren, reach out your hand," Scott said before he started to heal his wound again.
Although Darren was clueless and unsure why he was being instructed to do so, he still complied.
The aura of dragon blood inside Scott's body suddenly broke out. It flew directly into Darren's meridians as Scott held his hands. Scott felt a tremendous pain gushing all over his body. Darren even found that there was a slight shadow emerging from Scott's back.
Boom!
Darren felt dizzy all of a sudden, and felt as though something strange dashed into his soul.
The whole scene continued for about an hour. When Scott released Darren's hands, Scott looked deathly pale. He was so exhausted that he nearly fainted and fell on the ground.
"Scott, what happened?" Darren felt worry rise up as he stared astonished at the weakened person in front of him.
"Darren, have you heard of a particular inheritance skill of the dragons? After you grasp it, you will be able to share your life and death with another one. Ha-ha." Scott laughed weakly and continued, "You have saved my life twice. And now, I will enter a contract with you. Under this contract, if you die, I will die with you."
Darren was at a loss for words. It meant that if Darren was in danger, Scott would do anything to save him.
