Chapter 67

Maintain good study habits, and I wish Minglang now wants to be a well-learned person.

It just so happens that today’s class is taught by the incomparably handsome Bai Yishu. Minglang noticed that most of his classmates today were girls.

Truly, as the most handsome teacher at Lichuan Academy, his charm and influence are on par with Minglang’s!

At the end of the class, the teacher assigned homework.

This homework was not arranged by Teacher Bai Yishu, but was distributed by the entire Lichuan Dragon Taming Academy, a task for all students.

Since it is an obligation, almost all dragon tamers who already have dragons need to participate. Of course, the academy’s rewards for this assignment are also very high.

Heiya is a big eater, and the academy has its own ranch. Minglang has seen it, and recently some dragon tamers have captured many wild black pigs and kept them in the ranch, which can be exchanged for credits.

Since black pigs are Heiya’s favorite, and the price of black pigs outside in this winter is two to three times higher, considering that his future expenses will continue to increase, Minglang naturally prioritizes using credits to exchange for Heiya’s food.

The credit rewards for the full participation assignment are quite generous. Many students have already set out in advance upon learning about this. If they perform exceptionally well, they can even receive commendations from the academy!

The academy’s commendation rewards are very tempting, even including young dragons, soul beads, dragon pearls, spirit fruits, magic diamonds, and exotic remains...

"This time, the academy will grant an outstanding student a Spirit Domain Fruit. I believe some of you who have just entered the Spirit Domain of a dragon tamer may not know what this Spirit Domain Fruit is for, right?" Teacher Bai Yishu said, looking at the students.

Indeed, many students nodded, including Minglang.

Bai Yishu glanced at Minglang.

Ha, what are you pretending to be a new dragon tamer for? Wasn’t it you who knocked me off the flying pseudodragon?

Despite his complaints, Teacher Bai Yishu patiently explained to the students: "The Spirit Domain Fruit, as the name suggests, enhances the Spirit Domain. Its direct effect is to allow you to add one more Spirit Pact. Other effects depend on individual absorption."

Minglang’s eyes immediately lit up.

He was just worried about not being able to get a Spirit Domain Fruit. After Xiaqingzhuo obtained the third Spirit Pact, Minglang no longer had any empty Spirit Pacts. Even if he encountered good young spirit dragons in the future, he wouldn’t be able to form a soul bond with them.

No matter how many dragons he has in the future, it’s best to keep one empty Spirit Pact.

After all, the Dragon Taming Academy is the Dragon Taming Academy.

The annual academic award includes Spirit Domain Fruits, something that even the major families in the city-states are reluctant to hand out casually, and the academy is directly using it as a scholarship!

The other female students were also very excited. Every year, they look forward to the academy’s rewards, which have never disappointed them.

"Of course, the difficulty of this full participation assignment is also considerable," Teacher Bai Yishu continued.

The assignment board has a description, but it’s not very detailed. At this moment, Teacher Bai Yishu also explained the specific details of this assignment to the students in his class.

"Winter, when all things wither, many living beings are forced to take desperate measures by this white season. Upstream of the Lichuan River, there are many towns, villages, and nomadic groups. After winter sets in, they have been harassed and attacked by many demonic spirits."

"According to the information from the Southern Clan of the Ancestor Dragon City, these demonic spirits are rampaging in our towns because they are led by a very powerful and intelligent demonic spirit. Many demonic spirits and demonic spirits that have been forced to find food in the mountains and plains have joined this intelligent demonic spirit, continuously raiding our human cities. Among them, there are no shortage of man-eating demonic spirits and demonic spirits."

"If they were only taking crops and livestock, we wouldn’t need to take such drastic measures, but with man-eating spirits, we can’t just stand by and do nothing!"

Eating humans, such spirits are extremely dangerous in any city-state, and they are often very cunning, adept at exploiting the weaknesses of human settlements...

Upstream of the Lichuan River, there are many prosperous towns that are generally not involved in wars, and the military presence there is relatively small. If a powerful demonic spirit suddenly invades a city at night, a bloody tragedy could occur.

Some powerful spirits can eat a hundred people in one night!

Not to mention this time, it’s a group of spirits led by a demonic spirit!

If a demonic spirit enters a city, it will certainly result in a massacre, a truly horrific scene.

Moreover, the military is good at fighting, but they are often helpless against powerful spirits. No matter how many people there are, if the spirits flee, what can the military do to capture them?

As for searching the mountains and surrounding them, it’s a pipe dream. Some intelligent spirits might even take advantage of the military’s departure from the city to directly attack the empty city!

The military can only defend, not all cities have high walls, and not all civilians live within tall walls, so the military is quite passive when facing spirits.

Only dragon tamers can better handle these rampant spirits.

"Of course, we teachers will also be stationed in major cities. Your goal is to eliminate the spirits, powerful spirits, and demonic spirits that are lingering in different towns and villages. Do not provoke spirits of the demonic spirit level. If you discover any, immediately notify the academy’s mentor. Do not be reckless and lose your life," Teacher Bai Yishu specifically instructed.

Being a dragon tamer has always been a high-risk profession. Every year, many students who go out for training never return. This full participation assignment is not a simple academy cleanup or a visit to the nursing home. A slight mistake, and both you and your dragon could be devoured by the spirits!

Therefore, Bai Yishu repeatedly emphasized to the students that they must travel in groups.

Solo travel will not be credited.

Minglang originally planned to act alone, as his current strength is sufficient to handle crises on his own. However, seeing this mandatory rule, he immediately looked troubled!

This rule is partly to ensure the safety of the students and partly to encourage stronger students to lead weaker ones.

So, who should he find to be his partner for this mission?

There should be some very strong students, but he doesn’t know them. They are usually arrogant and have no interaction with him, a humble and gentle gentleman.

There are a few familiar faces in his dormitory.

But they haven’t even passed the Dragon Gate yet.

Students without a true dragon don’t even have the qualifications to go. They should stay in the academy and do the cleaning, helping the old ladies in the town find their lost kittens.

The Spirit Domain Fruit, he must obtain it.

He must also earn full credits.

It’s just this issue of traveling in groups...

"Junior Minglang." A clear and beautiful senior came up, looking at the troubled Minglang.

"Senior, do you want to travel with me?" Minglang was delighted and quickly asked.

"Ah?" Chu Yanyan wasn’t really thinking that. She was just curious if the woman who accompanied Minglang to the river battlefield that day was Li Yunzi.

Gossip keeps one young.

Chu Yanyan had no other intentions.
