Clothed in the wind, it plunged and raced.
The arc traced by the Ice Morning White Dragon was so marvellous that one couldn’t help but exclaim in awe, and the force of the impact it created was so fierce and authoritative it left onlookers sighing in amazement!
Nan Ye was someone who wasn’t very good at hiding his emotions, but in order not to lose composure, he could only forcibly suppress his annoyance and disbelief, causing his face to turn red and then pale in quick succession.
Zhu Minglang hadn’t expected Little White to even use its tail to slap the face of the Green Dragon, he called out with a wry smile and summoned the mischievous little guy back, so as not to leave Nan Ye without a shred of dignity…
In fact, Nan Ye’s dignity was already gone. A private contest was one thing—known only to him and me—but to be easily knocked down in front of so many students of the same cohort from the academy was another matter entirely.
Seeing the astonished look on Nan Ye’s face, Zhu Minglang patted him, saying, “Everyone has their downfalls, there’s no need for such hurtful words. Take back your dragon and nurture it well; your dragon still has plenty of potential.”
Alas, Zhu Minglang was several years older than them, and he didn’t intend to stoop to the level of these youths.
But these youngsters, who hadn’t seen much of the world, were far too arrogant!
After all, they had not yet experienced the harsh lessons of the world outside.
Zhu Minglang adopted an air of indifference, and with feigned kindness, comforted his impassioned young classmate.
Yet inside, his heart was leaping with joy, nearly ready to do a backflip on the spot!
Bai Qi was too fierce!
Zhu Minglang had thought that it would take at least until the growth period for it to have any fighting power, but who knew that even in its juvenile phase, it would be this ferocious.
They’re back, the glorious days of this young master are back!!
Nan Ye walked towards his Green Forest Dragon, and from his dim eyes, one could tell just how disappointed he was.
From the day he got the Green Forest Dragon, he had been proud and conceited. Those around him who seemed very talented were still struggling in the mire beneath the Dragon Gate, while he was born above it, possessing this Green Forest Dragon that would have the strength of a Dragon Son as soon as it reached adulthood!
Yet he hadn’t expected his True Dragon to be defeated by these common creatures in the mire!!
“Oh woo~~~~ Oh woo~~~~~~~” The Green Forest Dragon wailed in agony.
Nan Ye raised his hand, still somewhat in disbelief as he took the Green Forest Dragon back into his Spirit Realm.
“Oh woo!!! Oh woo!!!!!!!!”
The cries of the Green Forest Dragon grew louder; just as Nan Ye thought his dragon pet was suffering greatly, he saw the Green Forest Dragon rise on its own, and it even refused to return to the Spirit Realm to heal.
“Aoo woo!!!!!!!!!”
The Green Forest Dragon suddenly let out a long roar to the sky, displaying a burst of wild power.
And then, a blue glow suddenly burst from its body, countless blue vines broke through the rock on the platform, crazily growing and extravagantly entwining the body of the Green Forest Dragon!
As if in sync with the growth of the vines, the Green Forest Dragon’s size began to expand at that moment; the crisp sound of bones growing echoed throughout the entire academy, as if some Demonic Beast was trying to burst from the body of the juvenile Green Forest Dragon, becoming stronger and more terrifying than before!!
“Advanced???” Nan Ye’s face was filled with shock.
It seemed that, unwilling to bear the humiliation of defeat, the Green Forest Dragon had broken through some shackles amidst the pain and the desire for victory, and it had prematurely stepped into the growth period—right here, right now!
From juvenile phase to growth phase!
When an ordinary creature undergoes such evolution, its strength would surge instantaneously, let alone the Green Forest Dragon which was a True Dragon!
Even though it would take reaching adulthood for the Green Forest Dragon to possess the true power of a Dragon Child Level, but being one step away from leaping through the Dragon Gate, the Green Forest Dragon could still absolutely dominate the majority of creatures!
The crowd at the school all showed looks of shock.
The juvenile Green Forest Dragon was already an incredibly fierce creature, but now it had shot up to four meters tall—in the face of a raging behemoth, its presence wasn’t in the same league as before!
The humiliation it had suffered made the Green Forest Dragon even more irascible, appearing as if it wanted to tear everyone apart, frightening all the people at the school into retreating backward.
For a moment, only Zhu Minglang was left in the hall, with the petite Linglong, the Ice Morning White Dragon, perching on his shoulder, its eyes like stars of icy void, still calmly and indifferently watching the Green Forest Dragon that had undergone a drastic transformation.
Zhu Minglang looked at the Green Forest Dragon, trying his best to appear nonchalant.
If it were before, he could have easily crushed the Green Forest Dragon even if it evolved ten more times, but now… he was panicked.
“Nan Ye, my friend, didn’t I tell you so? Your Green Forest Dragon indeed has great potential. I won the last round, and I lose this one, so we’re even,” Zhu Minglang said to Nan Ye.
“I haven’t called back my dragon pet yet, which means the contest isn’t over. Haha, a pheasant will always be a pheasant, don’t think that inheriting some Wind Controlling abilities means you can compare to my True Dragon!” Nan Ye’s tone grew increasingly higher.
Having just experienced the first major defeat in his life, and now immediately facing a stunning ascent—normally, it would take the Green Forest Dragon another half a year or even longer to possibly evolve into the growth phase…
A True Dragon is a True Dragon.
How could it possibly crumble in such a battle?
From humiliation to loss, from loss to astonishment, from astonishment to manic joy, then thinking that he could reclaim the face he had just lost in front of everyone and even attract more attention, Nan Ye’s facial features began to contort from the intertwining of all these emotions.
But this contortion was also one of ecstatic madness.
“Well, I concede…” Zhu Minglang resigned himself, about to admit defeat.
Before he could speak out, the Ice Morning White Dragon on his shoulder opened its stunningly white wings and once again flew towards the stone platform where it would face off against the Green Forest Dragon.
“Bai Qi,” Zhu Minglang didn’t want Little White to get hurt, because with the previous humiliation Nan Ye and his Green Forest Dragon wouldn’t hold back.
The Ice Morning White Dragon didn’t fly back, remaining as aloof and noble as ever, even when facing the Green Forest Dragon in a completely different state.
What was slightly different this time was the fighting spirit it showed, which it never had before!
Its aura at that moment, it greatly resembled the White Soaring Dragon once overlooking all creatures with pride from the sky!
“Getting serious, are you?” Zhu Minglang sensed Bai Qi’s fighting spirit, and his own emotions began to change.
Yes indeed…
Even though the opponent was far weaker compared to past enemies, at this moment, it ignited a feeling in Zhu Minglang like a flame burning in his heart.
Wandering for so many years, starting all over again, that familiar feeling could never be forgotten!
