The teachers and students from the Dragon Subduing Academy had seen too many draconic humans. There were normal ones with strength or agility specialties; abnormal ones that could conceal themselves or spurt poison…
Through the many years, the school had gathered a lot of data on draconic humans. However, no one had ever seen a giant dragon like this before.
Of course, as the most powerful and mysterious building in the Dragon Subduing Academy, other than the founder who built it, no one else understood it completely.
The giant dragon had extremely great attacking prowess. Even a simple swing of its sharp claws would be able to crush Sun Mo upon contact.
However, its size was too gigantic so its agility was weaker. Sun Mo made use of this and kept on moving around in flashes with the Wind King Divine Steps and throwing out his ultimate techniques onto it.
These were all peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation arts that could deal serious injuries if not death onto a person. However, to the giant dragon, they were like insignificant light scratches.
“Too fast! He’s simply too fast!”
Many students gasped in surprise because the Sun Mo that they saw was just an after-image.
“This is because it’s Sun Mo. If it was someone else, they wouldn’t be able to break through the giant dragon’s defenses even if they weren’t killed by it.”
Xiao Di was extremely dejected.
The Great Solar Evil Destroying Art he cultivated emphasized on strong attacks and possessed a destructive prowess that could break through everything. However, it was nothing when compared to Sun Mo.
Saint-tier?
(Sigh, my saint-tier cultivation art feels like a fake.)
Swoosh!
Sword qi gushed out, slashing onto the giant dragon’s eyes. Thereafter, a tall and big ancient Buddha figure appeared behind Sun Mo, slapping out its palm incessantly.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The giant dragon was like a fly being slapped down onto the floor. Dust flew everywhere and the entire hall was trembling.
Roar!
The giant dragon bellowed, baring its big mouth furiously. It aimed for the Buddha figure and shot out spirit qi bullets.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The Buddha figure was shattered.
Amidst the dust, the giant dragon caught Sun Mo’s figure. But suddenly, white light appeared in the dim hall, landing onto the giant dragon’s neck like a sudden and unexpected bolt of lightning.
A sword breaking the sky, Heaven Rend!
Swoosh!
The giant dragon’s neck that was so thick it would take three people to hug was chopped off.
Knock!
The dragon head smashed onto the ground. Then, it, together with its corpse, shattered into a big stretch of light spots that scattered in the entire hall.
Hu! Hu!
Sun Mo half-knelt on the ground, panting heavily while staring at the crystal ball under the ceiling warily. He was worried that it’d summon another giant dragon again.
If that were to happen, Sun Mo would definitely run as fast as he could. It was because all the spirit qi in his body had dried up.
With the giant dragon’s death, a tremendous amount of spirit qi scattered into the air like tidal waves.
Many students of a low cultivation base immediately showed signs of spirit intoxication.
When the light spots landed on the skin of an elderly man, he sensed the energy contained within them and became invigorated. He immediately sat down cross-legged and started meditating to absorb the spirit qi.
“Teacher Qiyan!”
Murong Ye looked over and couldn’t help but reproach.
By right, since Sun Mo was the one who had killed the giant dragon, the spirit qi belonged to him.
“Vice-headmaster Murong, not only are there a lot of spirit qi, but they also dissipate very fast. There’s no way that Teacher Sun will be able to absorb all of them. Rather than wasting them, it’s better to let me ‘pick’ some.”
Qiyan Gao was a 6-star great teacher and a grandmaster-level alchemist. He had long seniority in this famous school after working for 30 years. Hence, there was no way he would care about Murong Ye’s words.
“You should still ask Teacher Sun first.”
Murong Ye insisted.
Qiyan Gao shut his eyes and couldn’t be bothered with Murong Ye. He had learned the ancient dragon language for many years but hadn’t been able to completely understand the meaning behind the dragon roars.
Today, with this giant dragon’s death, these light spots contained some knowledge and they entered his mind as well. This was why Qiyan Gao acted so ungraciously.
Sun Mo didn’t care about those light spots. He didn’t have enough spirit qi for another round of battle anyway, so he ended the challenge and went to the Giant Dragon Great Hall.
“Dragon God, I’ve killed the giant dragon as per your instructions and proved my worth. Do you have any other commands?”
Sun Mo spoke with a respectful tone.
“Do you dare to be even more of a bootlicker?”
The system teased.
This host was really a great schemer to address the other party as the Dragon God. It was clear-cut flattery.
The other party didn’t reply.
“Dragon God? If there’s something that I haven’t done well enough, please feel free to let me know!”
Sun Mo put on his most amicable smile.
However, there was still no reply.
Sun Mo fell silent and furrowed his brows until they could almost clamp a crab to death.
“Why have you stopped addressing me as the Dragon God?”
A low roar rang out, “Human, if you can talk well, then talk more.”
“…”
Sun Mo really felt like cursing. (Do you really think that I’m the Chief Eunuch who is good at flattery? If you dare to say another word, do you believe that I’ll tear down your old nest?)
“It has been many years since I’ve met a human who can speak as well as you do. I’ve decided to impart you with an ultimate art.”
Dragon roars rang out.
“Dragon God, I was only speaking the truth. Once you appear in the nine provinces, you’ll definitely be the lord over all beasts, no, over all lifeforms.”
Sun Mo thought to himself that the [Art of Language] hadn’t been a waste.
His words seemed to agitate the ancient giant dragon, and it suddenly let out a world-shaking bellow that rang through the entire hall. It felt as if one’s eardrums were going to burst.
“Do you have any commands? I’ll do my best to do them for you!”
Sun Mo was testing.
If he knew of the giant dragon’s request, he’d be able to raise his own conditions.
“Where did you learn the Freedom Proof?”
The giant dragon felt curious.
“Enlightenment.”
After Sun Mo said that, he was mocked.
“Do you think that I’m a fool?” The giant dragon laughed coldly. “Bring the person who imparted to you this divine language of spiritual control. After you do that, I’ll reward you.”
“I really did gain enlightenment about it by myself.”
Sun Mo shrugged. “Sigh, I also feel helpless to be born as a human yet being so outstanding!”
“…”
The giant dragon thought to itself. (Thankfully I don’t have a physical body. Otherwise, I’ll definitely spit thick phlegm all over your face. I’ve seen shameless people before, but none as shameless as you.)
“I don’t wish to speak crap with you. Bring that great ancestor-level spirit controller here.”
The giant dragon instructed.
“Where am I going to find you a great ancestor-level spirit controller?”
Sun Mo appeared troubled.
“…”
The giant dragon fell silent.
“Let’s analyze this logically. Since you know of Freedom Proof, then you should know the value of this divine language of spiritual control.”
Sun Mo went on. “If a great ancestor-level spirit controller can impart me with such a precious divine language, then it shows that our relationship is very close. Since there’s a chance to communicate with an ancient giant dragon, do you think that I’ll hide it from him?
“After all, since he can teach me the divine language, then he’ll also teach me after he has acquired your knowledge. Isn’t that right?”
“Did you really gain enlightenment about it by yourself?”
The giant dragon was surprised. It was primarily because gaining enlightenment by oneself was like a miracle. How could that be possible?
Sun Mo put his hands out, wearing an expression as if saying that there was nothing he could do even if the dragon didn’t believe him.
“You really gained enlightenment by yourself?” The dragon still didn’t really believe it. “Are you a grandmaster-level spirit controller?”
“En!”
Sun Mo nodded. It was true that he was at that level. “But I excel more in the study of spirit runes. I also have a high level of mastery in massage.”
“…”
The giant dragon fell silent for a while, clearly hesitating. However, it eventually gave a disappointing decision. “Human, go back. You’re too weak and won’t be able to help me.”
“How would you know if you don’t give it a try? Hey, don’t give up!”
Sun Mo started to panic upon seeing that the chance that was placed before him was starting to slip away. However, no matter how he tried to persuade the giant dragon, it stopped replying to him.
Murong Ye entered after Sun Mo and watched him quietly.
He was wearing a solemn expression.
“Sun Mo couldn’t be communicating with an ancient giant dragon, could he? No, that’s impossible. He doesn’t know the dragon language.”
Sun Mo let out bellows and modulation, clearly using some kind of communicating means. However, Murong Ye couldn’t understand them. It was because the ancient dragon language they used had been taught to them by the giant dragon.
It was a branch of the dragon language, akin to a local dialect.
What Sun Mo used was the dragon tribe’s common language that could be used to communicate with giant dragons of any type. It could be said that the 200,000 favorable impression points that Sun Mo had spent were well beyond its value.
“It seems that this Teacher Sun is a lot more learned than I expected. To think that he even knows the ancient dragon language?”
Duanmu Li crossed his arms in front of his chest, assessing Sun Mo with a judgmental gaze that had a hint of strangeness amidst the admiration.
Sun Mo didn’t want to miss out on this encounter and was about to continue trying when an agonizing bellow and crying suddenly rang out from outside.
“What’s going on?”
Sun Mo turned back and saw a great teacher charging in, shouting loudly while wearing an anxious expression.
“Mur… Murder.”
Murong Ye and Duanmu Li’s countenances changed, and they dashed out at the first instant.
Sun Mo didn’t dare to tarry around either because there were many students outside. If anything were to happen, they would be the ones capable of protecting others.
At the sight of this scene, Duanmu Li revealed an admiring smile.
The Draconic Human Great Hall was in a horrific mess. People were pushing against each other, and many people had fallen and were being stomped on, with agonizing cries ringing out incessantly.
Tens of students were lying on the bloody floor, their life or death unknown.
“Draconic human?”
Murong Ye was surprised.
He threw a glance and saw over ten draconic humans slashing and killing the surrounding teachers and students without any restraint. However, why were these draconic humans wearing the Dragon Subduing Academy’s school uniforms and teacher attires?
Duanmu Li went for the strongest draconic human. The moment they clashed, he realized that something was amiss.
“This guy is Qiyan Gao?”
Duanmu Li asked this because this guy’s clothing was Qiyan Gao’s.
“They’ve suddenly turned into draconic humans and then started to go crazy and kill people.”
A great teacher explained while panting heavily.
“Dragonification?”
Duanmu Li frowned.
There were some traces of humanity on Qiyan Gao at the moment, but his face, neck, and arms had all been covered by black scales. His eyes had also turned into ones that were like lizards’. Big patches of his hair were falling off.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
Over ten draconic humans let out enraged roars and proceeded with a massacre.
“Stop them quickly!”
Some great teachers were unafraid of death and made a move decisively. However, too many people in the hall were squeezing them, rendering them unable to make a move.
There weren’t usually so many people, but they had gathered today because they wanted to see Sun Mo take on the Unlimited Challenge Mode. Therefore, after the accident happened, the results were especially horrifying.
“Headmaster Murong, what should we do? Do we kill them?”
A middle-aged great teacher’s clothing was stained with blood. Even though he was injured, he managed to capture a young draconic human. This one had been transformed from a student, and thus the middle-aged great teacher wasn’t able to get himself to deal lethal attacks to it.
However, after these students underwent dragonification, not only did their strength increase tremendously, but they also went berserk, massacring the crowd. It was a great challenge to capture them alive.
“Let me do a check!”
Sun Mo dashed over.
