Chapter 20

"Roar!!!!!!!!!!"

The Green Forest Dragon opened its massive mouth, and the breath it exhaled was powerful enough to sweep away surrounding objects. Bai Qi, still small in size, felt like a sparrow flying in a gale.

The Green Forest Dragon took a step forward, its charge so powerful that it could easily shatter a stone wall, and its speed was not slow at all.

This time, the Green Forest Dragon did not intend to give the Ice Dawn White Dragon a chance to gather wind.

The Ice Dawn White Dragon spread its wings, which were made of butterfly-like feathers, and with a gentle flutter, its delicate white body leaped to a higher position.

At the same moment, the Green Forest Dragon pounced, aiming to bite the Ice Dawn White Dragon.

As it pounced, the green light vines growing around its body transformed into a massive magical mouth, sealing off all the directions the Ice Dawn White Dragon could escape to!! The Ice Dawn White Dragon would either be entangled by these light vines or swallowed by the Green Forest Dragon. The Ice Dawn White Dragon nimbly flew to the side, its speed suddenly increasing during the flight.

With a wing flap, the ice fluff feathers at the edges of its wings scattered, flying toward the light vines blocking the Ice Dawn White Dragon's path.

The glowing vines were growing fiercely, almost about to trap the Ice Dawn White Dragon, but as the ice fluff scattered, the vines quickly froze, turning into ice-covered vines that remained motionless.

Bai Qi passed through these frozen vines, evading the Green Forest Dragon's biting vine trap...

"Be careful of the poison!" Zhu Ming's voice rang out.

When the Green Forest Dragon evolved, Zhu Ming noticed it had developed a poison sac, so this Green Forest Dragon not only had the ability to control plant vines but also possessed a poisonous attribute.

Bai Qi had indeed overlooked this point, but fortunately, Zhu Ming's reminder gave it a head start!

The Ice Dawn White Dragon turned and flew backward, its secondary wings vibrating at a high frequency. Numerous magical frost particles flew out from these wings, condensing into a very elegant ice screen in the air!

The ice screen was large, fan-shaped, like a peacock spreading its magnificent tail feathers. The wide-ranging poison spray was partially blocked by this ice screen.

The poison corroded the rock walls and classroom wooden desks. The rocks and floor were relatively unaffected, showing only slight signs of decay, but the wooden desks and chairs quickly rotted. If this touched a person's skin, it would melt right through!

Behind the ice screen, the Ice Dawn White Dragon was unharmed, but the Green Forest Dragon was not about to give up. It broke through the green light vines, shattering the ice screen, and its claws, wrapped in poisonous vines, struck the Ice Dawn White Dragon.

The ceiling of the classroom was already quite high, but it still restricted the Ice Dawn White Dragon's flight. The Green Forest Dragon's powerful control over the battlefield was gradually revealed, with poisonous thorn vines covering the ground, walls, and ceiling, rapidly spreading to fill most of the spacious classroom...

The Ice Dawn White Dragon used its agile movements to evade the Green Forest Dragon, but its area of movement was being gradually compressed by the poisonous thorn vines. Several times, it narrowly avoided being hit by the Green Forest Dragon's claws.

"Fly outside, don't tangle with it here," Zhu Ming said to Bai Qi.

This confined space was already disadvantageous for the Ice Dawn White Dragon, and Zhu Ming now regretted not choosing a different location for the battle.

Unfortunately, it was too late. The vines had sealed off all the open areas of the balconies, and if Bai Qi tried to fly out, it would be walking into a trap.

Having evolved to the growth stage, the Green Forest Dragon was no longer a mere brute. It had become proficient in Green Forest magic, capable of generating continuously growing vines, which were extremely lethal to agile creatures, like a constantly tightening and oppressive spider web!

Finally, the Ice Dawn White Dragon was cornered. The Green Forest Dragon charged in a frenzy, its poisonous claws attacking from both sides, the vines on the walls sealing off the top, and its mouth ready to bite. This bite would either kill or severely injure the Ice Dawn White Dragon!

Zhu Ming frowned, his palm facing Bai Qi, the sigil in his palm glowing. If the Green Forest Dragon touched Bai Qi, he would recall Bai Qi to the spirit realm...

However, the sigil was a gateway connected to the soul of the dragon master. The dragon master could quickly recall the dragon to avoid a fatal attack, but the impact of the enemy's attack would be absorbed by the dragon master's soul!

Soul damage was far more painful than physical pain and was difficult to recover from.

Some strong impacts could even be fatal to the dragon master!!

...

The Ice Dawn White Dragon gently flapped its white feathers, hovering in the air, seemingly cornered and helpless, but its slender, soft tail had become tough and resilient...

"Swish!!!"

Just as Zhu Ming was about to bear the cost, the Ice Dawn White Dragon's beautiful braided tail transformed into a lethal dragon sting, striking with the force of many joints working together, so swift that it left a stunning trail of needle-like marks!

The Ice Dawn White Dragon's tail stung the Green Forest Dragon's eyes, causing a gap in its attack, allowing the Ice Dawn White Dragon to nimbly evade.

"Bang!!!!!!!!!!!"

The Green Forest Dragon crashed into the rock wall, causing the classroom to shake violently. Some lime dust fell like sand, and the students huddled at the back in fear.

"Roar~~~~~~~~~~~"

"Roar~~~~~~~~~~~"

The Green Forest Dragon's skull cracked from the impact, but what was even more unbearable was its eyes.

Blood flowed from its eyes, initially causing a sharp pain, but soon the pain spread throughout its body, paralyzing the once ferocious beast!

Seeing the Green Forest Dragon lying on the ground, howling in pain...

And the Ice Dawn White Dragon landing on its head again...

Nan Ye felt as if he had been stung by the dragon's tail, convulsing in pain!

Defeated.

He was defeated again!

A Green Forest Dragon in the growth stage, a true dragon just one step away from the Dragon Gate, had been defeated by such a mixed-blood dragon!!

"What... What kind of dragon is this!" Nan Ye shouted in anger.

Zhu Ming stood there.

He did not answer.

It wasn't that he was trying to appear mysterious; he was genuinely shocked!

Juvenile stage...

Strictly speaking, Bai Qi was just a newborn baby dragon!

It had defeated a half-grown dragon!!

Even Zhu Ming himself wanted to ask: What kind of dragon is this!!

Any creature has four important stages.

Juvenile, growth, adult, and complete.

Each time a creature or dragon passes through a stage, it undergoes an "evolution"!

This evolution not only multiplies its strength and changes its form but also awakens some incredible abilities!

Bai Qi's current strength was clearly approaching the first level of a true dragon—the Dragon Prince level.

The problem was that most true dragons only reach the Dragon Prince level in the adult stage!

Like Nan Ye's Green Forest Dragon, it was a Dragon Prince level only in the adult stage...

Bai Qi, in the juvenile stage, had shown such strength, and with three more evolution opportunities, if each evolution brought a significant boost, the level it would reach would not just be Dragon Prince or Dragon General!!

It could be a Dragon Lord...

Or even a Dragon Emperor!!

"That is an Ice Dawn White Dragon, with a main lineage of Silver Moon Ying Dragon and a secondary lineage of Star Wind Ice Dragon, also a true dragon," a gentle and dignified voice came from the entrance.

Zhu Ming himself could not fully confirm Bai Qi's lineage, but this person seemed to have some knowledge of this rare dragon species, able to identify the main and secondary lineages.

Looking over, Zhu Ming was surprised.

It was the daughter of the dragon from the waterfall who had saved him and Xiao Hei Ya. Was she also a student at this school??

"Teacher Duan Lan."

"Good morning, Teacher Duan Lan."

The students bowed their heads in respect, showing their admiration for the dragon woman.

Zhu Ming's mouth dropped open.

A teacher???

And such a beautiful, sweet-voiced, and powerful teacher!!!

Upon reflection, it made sense. Someone who owned a dragon from the waterfall couldn't be one of the students still struggling at the Dragon Gate.

"The performance of the two students before class was impressive. Please return to your seats," Duan Lan glanced at the somewhat messy classroom, not overly concerned, and continued her lesson.

"Nan Ye, your Green Forest Dragon's eyes..."

"Teacher Duan Lan, my Green Forest Dragon's eyes," Nan Ye still harbored resentment and did not want to let it go.

"Use this to treat your Green Forest Dragon. It will recover quickly. You should be grateful; it could have directly pierced the eye, which would have been fatal," Duan Lan glared at Nan Ye, showing a bit of severity and fairness.

Not blinded??

Nan Ye hurriedly applied the healing ointment to the Green Forest Dragon's eye, and only then did he notice that the wound was at the corner of the eye, not the pupil.

If left untreated, the entire eye would have rotted.

"Everyone, sit down. Today we will discuss lineages. Dragons are divided into three major lineages: Ancient Dragons, Giant Dragons, and Azure Dragons," Duan Lan did not wait for the students to sit down before starting her lecture.

Everyone was still in shock from the battle, but out of respect, the students raised no objections, obediently straightening the scattered desks and chairs and sitting down.

Of course, the way they looked at Zhu Ming had completely changed.

Especially Hong Hao, Li Shaoying, and the students from the same dormitory as Zhu Ming.

"Ancient Dragons possess combat skills. Giant Dragons wield magic. Azure Dragons have mystic arts," Duan Lan seemed to have been outside the door earlier and did not stop the battle between the two dragon pets. She continued,

"Taking Nan Ye's Green Forest Dragon as an example, it is a standard Giant Dragon. The green light vines are the Green Forest magic it controls."
