Is this the true face of the Ice Dawn White Dragon? No matter how many dragon offspring there are, in front of it, they are no different from ordinary spirits!
Yin Yaozu, Chen Leiluo, and the other students who were eager to challenge Zhu Minglang were now as stiff as wooden chickens, their souls scattered as if they had narrowly escaped death!
When the meteor fell, their souls trembled, and the fear of the dragon pets would also be conveyed to their owners, especially the feeling of impending death...
Why did they provoke him?
Such a powerful person, how could he be a wanderer in the barren land? He is clearly more noble than they, these newly initiated little dragon masters, by more than one level!
Yin Yaozu's fair and handsome face had turned blue and red, as if he had been repeatedly whipped with willow branches!
Chen Leiluo didn't dare to make a sound.
Beside them, the person who had suffered a backlash was still howling, each cry like a heavy lash to the hearts of the students who had narrowly escaped the "soul backlash"!
Not only did they lose completely, but they would also be despised and hated by their classmates because they had lost even with despicable means.
Moreover, Zhu Minglang had finally stopped the Ice Dawn White Dragon from slaughtering the group of dragons, leaving some room for these troublemakers...
Character and integrity, the difference was clear!
Among the challengers, many had been incited by Yin Yaozu and Chen Leiluo, and they were now utterly ashamed!
...
"The competition among students is merely a result of youthful vigor. I am very pleased that Zhu Minglang can distinguish right from wrong," a voice came from the mud pit.
Zhu Minglang was startled and turned around to see a person crawling out of a nearby mud pit, his face covered in dirt, and his clean clothes somewhat disheveled.
If it weren't for the trembling pseudo-dragon bird beside him, Zhu Minglang wouldn't have recognized him.
"Teacher Bai Yishu, I apologize for my rudeness," Zhu Minglang said apologetically to the teacher.
"You are different from them. You have the power of life and death, yet you can still discern right from wrong. The Liuchuan Dragon Taming Academy is fortunate to have a student like you... cough, cough, it's a good thing you stopped, or I would have had to pack my bags and leave." The first few sentences of Bai Yishu were somewhat noble, but the last sentence made Zhu Minglang laugh.
It seemed that even Teacher Bai Yishu hadn't expected the Ice Dawn White Dragon's mystic arts to be so powerful, so powerful that even he, the teacher, couldn't summon his dragon in time to stop it, and even if he did, he might not have been able to save the lives of the dragon offspring.
"Thank you, teacher, for your fair judgment," Zhu Minglang said politely.
...
After crossing the river, Zhu Minglang glanced at the broken stream. Fortunately, the natural growth and cycle in this world are very fast, or this tributary would have been ruined. Bai Qi's Azure Dragon mystic arts were shockingly domineering!
"Thank you, Zhu Minglang, for showing mercy," several of the awakened challengers hurriedly bowed, expressing their apologies.
"You only learned to be humble and rational after being beaten. What were you doing earlier? A noble dragon master without their own judgment, easily incited to risk their lives, would have no life on the battlefield or in the world," Teacher Bai Yishu scolded without hesitation.
"Teacher's lesson is well taken, teacher's lesson is well taken," the students didn't dare to raise their heads and bowed repeatedly to Zhu Minglang in apology.
"My wife's future reputation doesn't need your concern," Zhu Minglang said.
"Yes, yes, we only admired the Lady, nothing more, absolutely nothing more," they hurriedly said.
"Brother Zhu is a strong person of this era, a perfect match for the Lady, a perfect match," the owner of the fierce sparrow dragon flattered immediately.
At the observation point, a few students gathered together, their faces dark, their eyes fixed on Zhu Minglang, and then on the pitiful owner of the Torch Dragon.
"Our challenge letter is for next month. I wonder if there are any Dragon General level experts among our group?" a large-eared, fat student said.
There were about seventy to eighty co-signers, and only twenty had participated this time, led by Yin Yaozu. Those who supported the Valkyrie were not few, mostly male, and they naturally wouldn't allow someone like Zhu Minglang to exist from the beginning.
Their eyes all fell on a tall, thin man, the strongest among them. After witnessing Zhu Minglang's strength, they had to think of a strategy.
The tall, thin youth remained calm, showing a composure different from the others who were trembling in fear.
"Rip! Rip! Rip!"
Suddenly, a crisp sound rang out, and it was seen that this composed student was tearing something, shredding it in a few swift movements.
This shocked the surrounding students!
"What challenge letter? Didn't we agree to go hunting next month?" the tall, thin, composed man said calmly.
Everyone's jaws almost dropped.
But upon reflection, they realized that classmate Zhong Shenxiu was indeed wise!
"Yes, yes, we're going hunting."
"There's nothing major, no need to disrupt our plans, cough, cough."
A few well-dressed young men hurriedly nodded in agreement, their boots stomping the fragments of the challenge letter into the mud, thoroughly destroying the evidence!
At this moment, Zhu Minglang and his classmates were also walking by, and this group immediately put on a kind and benevolent face, indistinguishable from the others who had come to watch the spectacle, completely forgetting their earlier enthusiasm when they signed the petition!
...
It was a great victory, and Zhu Minglang looked at the astonished gazes of his classmates. He knew that from now on, it would be difficult for him to live a carefree life.
This was probably the ebb and flow of fate!
It was quite exciting.
A true man should be like this: steady as an old dog when things are not going well, and as proud as a dragon when rising.
I am still me, shining with a different spark of life!
"Cough, cough, classmates, we'll part ways here. I have some small matters to attend to. Thank you, seniors and classmates, for your support. I will work harder to gain more recognition and ask everyone to help clear the rumors, so as not to damage my wife Yunzi's reputation. Thank you, thank you." Zhu Minglang bowed to the classmates, showing the humility and gentleness he should have.
Rumors, where do they come from? This would take some time to investigate, but using this method to curb the negative public opinion against him and Li Yunzi would help them stand firm in the Ancestor Dragon City-State.
"Don't worry, don't worry. We may not be able to control the Ancestor Dragon City-State, but if there are any more rumors about you and the Valkyrie in the academy, we will definitely punish the rumor-mongers," the graceful senior said.
"Thank you... what kind of book?" Zhu Minglang was about to bow in gratitude but raised his eyebrows in confusion.
The graceful senior immediately blushed and changed the subject.
Fortunately, Zhu Minglang wasn't the type to delve deeply, so the matter passed lightly.
Mainly, Zhu Minglang, with his pure and innocent heart, didn't understand what the senior meant by that term.
Everyone dispersed, but the dragon battle would soon spread throughout the academy, making Zhu Minglang, already in the spotlight, even more of a focus for the students.
After all, as a dragon master student, having a Dragon General level Azure Dragon is very rare, and Zhu Minglang's name would continue to ferment in the Ancestor Dragon City-State due to the sudden rumors.
Zhu Minglang waited for the students to leave, seemingly returning to the school, but actually secretly following the person whose soul he had severely injured.
That was the owner of the Torch Dragon.
Zhu Minglang didn't recognize this person and had no connection with him, but he wanted to understand why this person had such a strong killing intent.
In fact, while Yin Yaozu and Chen Leiluo were loud in their provocations, their main goal was to expel him from the Ancestor Dragon City-State. The one who truly wanted him dead was this person.
Following him, Zhu Minglang had some skill in concealment, honed from tailing those he felt threatened by in the past, as there were no shortage of people who envied him then.
Zhu Minglang found that this person was sent to a sanatorium but didn't rest there for long, leaving the academy in a hurry with his heavy body.
Zhu Minglang specifically inquired and learned that this person was named Lei Feiming, a relatively low-profile dragon master with no special background, who often trained outside and spent little time in the academy.
This person had a residence in the city, inside the city walls. Zhu Minglang followed him to his home and found that he lived alone, with the yard almost overgrown with weeds, barely maintained.
After keeping watch outside all night, Zhu Minglang found that he had not contacted anyone.
Unable to contain his curiosity, Zhu Minglang still sneaked into the person's home.
Lei Feiming had already fallen into a deep sleep, his soul injured and his body extremely weak. Without another dragon pet, he would never become a dragon master again.
After searching the house, Zhu Minglang finally gave up on further investigation.
Indeed, there was a possibility that this person was a lackey of Luo Xiao. Luo Xiao couldn't get close to the Dragon Taming Academy or the Ancestor Dragon City-State, so he might have hidden this person nearby to attack him when the opportunity arose.
Zhu Minglang had hoped to catch Luo Xiao hiding in his home, but unfortunately, there was no connection between him and Luo Xiao.
However, the contents of his house gave Zhu Minglang a significant shock.
The walls were densely covered with portraits of a single person, some in ink, others in color, matching the statues in each of the nine cities.
