Chapter 64: Another Obsessive


    Trantor: 549690339


    Is this the true visage of the Ice Morning White Dragon? No matter how many Dragon Sons there were, they were no different frommon spirits when facing it! !


    Yin Yaozu, Chen Leiluo, and those other students who were eager to challenge Zhu Minng were now standing still as if petrified, their souls scattered as if they had just brushed past the God of Death!


    At the moment when the long star fell, their souls trembled, the fear of their dragon pets also transmitted to the owners, especially this feeling of death looming…


    Why provoke him?


    Such a powerful individual, how could he possibly be a wanderer from Wutu, clearly more noble than these junior Dragon Masters who had just entered the Dragon Gate by more than one rank!


    Yin Yaozu’s handsome face had turned green and red, as if whipped repeatedly by willow branches!


    Chen Leiluo dared not utter a sound even more so.


    And beside them, the person who had suffered from Soul Rebelling was still howling, each cry a heavy blow to the souls of these students who had just narrowly escaped “Soul Rebelling” themselves!


    Not only were they beaten without a semnce of resistance, but they also had to face the disgust and scorn of other students for using such despicable means and still losing.


    Moreover, Zhu Minng ultimately stopped the Ice Morning White Dragon from ughtering the group of dragons, leaving these troublemakers with some leeway…


    Character and integrity, the difference was clear!


    Among those challengers, many were instigated by Yin Yaozu and Chen Leiluo, and they now felt utterly disgraced!


    “Conflict between academies, nothing more than youthful exuberance, I am very relieved that student Zhu Minng can discern right from wrong, ” a voice came from the mud pit.


    Zhu Minng was startled, turned around, and saw a person climbing out from a pit of mud and sand nearby, his face full of dirt, and his clean clothes somewhat disheveled.


    If it weren’t for the Flying Bird Pseudo-Dragon trembling with fear beside him, Zhu Minng wouldn’t have recognized him.


    “Teacher Bai Yishu, my apologies for my rudeness,” Zhu Minng said somewhat apologetically to the teacher.


    “You’re different from them; having the power to take life, you still manage to distinguish between right and wrong. I, as a teacher, am very gratified that Li Chuan Dragon Taming Academy has a student like you… cough cough, it’s good that you held back, otherwise I would have had to pack up and leave,” Bai Yishu first said with an air of moral integrity but thetter part made Zhu Minng break intoughter.


    It seemed even Teacher Bai Yishu had not anticipated the Profound Art of the Ice Morning White Dragon to be so powerful, powerful enough that even he as a teacher didn’t have time to summon his own dragon to intervene, and even if he had summoned it, it’s doubtful he could have saved the lives of the Dragon Sons gathered there.


    “Thank you, Teacher, for presiding over with fairness,” Zhu Minng maintained proper etiquette.


    After crossing the river, Zhu Minng nced at the broken river flow; fortunately, nature in this world regenerates and cycles very quickly, otherwise this tributary would have been ruined—Bai Qi’s Azure Dragon Profound Art was shockingly domineering!


    “Thank you, Student Zhu Minng, for showing mercy,” a few of the challengers who hade to their senses bowed hurriedly, expressing their apologies.


    “Being beaten before learning modesty and rationality, what were you thinking before? As grand Dragon Shepherds whock their own judgment and allow others to incite them to throw away their lives, if you were on the battlefield, in the affairs of the world, you would be dead.” Teacher Bai Yishu rebuked them without any courtesy.


    “The teacher is correct in his teachings, the teacher is correct in his teachings,” those few students didn’t dare to lift their heads and kept bowing to Zhu Minng to apologize.


    “I’ll thank you not to worry about my wife’s future reputation,” said Zhu Minng.


    “Yes, yes, yes, we were actually just admiring the Female Monarch, nothing more, absolutely nothing improper,” they hurriedly said.


    “Brother Zhu is a formidable man of this era, and he’s perfectly matched with the Female Monarch, absolutely matched, ” the owner of the Fierce Sparrow Dragon immediately ttered.


    From a distance, a few students huddled together, their faces gloomy, their eyes fixed on Zhu Minng, and then looking at the miserable Candle Dragon Master.


    “Our challenge is set for next month, I wonder if there are any Dragon General Level experts among our group?” a big-eared, fat student said.


    The joint challengers numbered seventy to eighty people, this time only twenty went up, all from Yin Yaozu’s group, and there were no small number of Valkyrie supporters, mostly males. They, of course, would not allow someone like Zhu Minng to exist.


    Their gazes all fell on a tall, thin young man; among them, he was the strongest. They needed toe up with a strategy after witnessing Zhu Minng’s strength.


    The tall, thin youth remained unfazed, disying aposure different from others who were panic-stricken.


    “Swish! Swish! Swish!”


    Suddenly, a crisp sound rang out, and they saw theposed student ripping something apart, shredding the object in his hands to pieces in a matter of moments.


    This action startled the surrounding students!


    “What challenge? Next month we had agreed to go hunting, remember?” the tall, slimposed student said calmly.


    Everyone’s jaw nearly hit the floor.


    But then they thought about it and realized, Zhong Shenxiu was still the greater student!


    “Right, right, we were going hunting.”


    “There’s nothing important, indeed no need to disrupt our ns, cough cough.”


    A few elegantly poised young masters hurriedly nodded in agreement. Their boots didn’t forget to trample the fragments of the challenge letter into the mud, thoroughly eradicating any trace!


    At this moment, Zhu Minng and his ssmates happened to be passing by. The group immediately worepassionate and kind faces, indistinguishable from others who hade to watch the excitement,pletely forgetting the swagger they had when they signed the petition not long ago!


    It was still a triumphant return. Zhu Minng looked at the astonished gazes from his fellow students and knew that from now on, living a life free as the idle cloud and wild crane was unlikely. This was probably the ebb and flow of fate!


    It was quite thrilling.


    A real man should be like this, steady as an old dog when things go south, and as wild as a proud Heaven Dragon when rising to power.


    I am still me, sparkling with the fireworks of an extraordinary life!


    “Cough cough, everyone, let’s part ways here. I have some small matters to deal with. Thank you sisters and ssmates for your support of Zhu Minng. I will work doubly hard to earn more people’s recognition. Please also help me clear the rumors, and don’t damage Yunzhi’s reputation any further. Thank you, thank you.” Zhu Minng bowed to his fellow students, showing the modest and gentle demeanor he ought to have.


    Concerning the rumors, their true origin required some time to uncover, but using this method to curb the unfavorable public opinion against himself and Li Yunzi would help them gain a better foothold in Ancestral Dragon City.


    “Don’t worry, don’t worry. We might not be able to manage what happens within the boundaries of Ancestral Dragon City, but if anyone in the academy spreads those doujinshi and scurrilous books about you and Valkyrie, we will definitely beat up those rumor-mongers,” said that refined senior.


    “Thank you… uh, what doujinshi?” Zhu Minng was just about to bow in gratitude when he raised an eyebrow, looking confused.


    The elegant sister’s face turned red, and she hastily changed the subject.


    Fortunately, Zhu Minng wasn’t the type to delve deeply into such matters, and the issue passed by lightly.


    Mainly because Zhu Minng, who was rather pure and innocent inside, didn’t quite understand the meaning behind the term the sister had used.


    Everyone dispersed, but the battle of the dragons would surely spread quickly inside and outside the academy, which meant Zhu Minng, already in the eye of the storm, would soon be the focus of his fellow students.


    After all, as a Dragon Shepherd student, owning a Dragon General Level Azure Dragon was very rare. Furthermore, the name “Zhu Minng” would continue to ferment within the Ancestral Dragon City due to that sudden outbreak of rumors.


    Zhu Minng waited for the students to leave, and he seemed to be heading back into school. In reality, he stealthily followed the individual whose soul he had severely wounded.


    That person was the owner of the Candle Dragon.


    Zhu Minng didn’t know this person at all, nor did they have any interaction. Zhu Minng still wanted to understand why he had such a strong intent to kill him.


    Indeed, the noble gentlemen Yin Yaozu and Chen Leiluo were pretty loud-mouthed, but their main goal was to drive him out of Ancestral Dragon City-State. The one who truly wanted him dead was this person.


    Following him all the way, Zhu Minng had some aplishments in concealing his tracks, honed from the times he had tailed those he perceived as threats. After all, back then, there were quite a few people who envied him.


    Zhu Minng discovered that after being sent to the sanatorium, this individual did not rest for long but left the academy impatiently with a somewhat heavy body.


    Zhu Minng made special inquiries and learned that the man’s name was Lei Feiming—a rather low-profile Dragon Shepherd with no significant background, one who often tempered himself outside and didn’t spend much time in the academy.


    This person had a residence in the Dragon City-State, just within the State


    Wall. Zhu Minng followed him to his home. finding that he lived alone. The courtyard was nearly overgrown with weeds and hardly ever tended to. After guarding outside for a whole night, Zhu Minng discovered that he hadn’t been in contact with anyone else.


    Unable to suppress the confusion in his heart, Zhu Minng still sneaked into the man’s home.


    Lei Feiming had already fallen into a deep sleep. His soul was injured, and his body was extremely weakened. Without another dragonpanion, he would never be able to be a Dragon Shepherd again in his lifetime.


    After wandering around his home, Zhu Minng eventually abandoned further investigation.


    Indeed, there was such a possibility—that this person was Luo Xiao’s pawn, who couldn’t approach the Dragon Taming Academy and Ancestral Dragon City-State. Thus, he remained hidden near himself, waiting for an opportunity to strike.


    Zhu Minng had hoped to catch Luo Xiao hiding in his house, but there was no connection between the two.


    However, what truly shocked Zhu Minng was inside the house.


    It was filled with countless portraits of one person—ink paintings and color ink alike—all consistent with the statues erected in each of the Nine Cities..
