Dragon Tamer-Chapter 382 - 384: The High Court Loses to the External Court
Chapter 382: Chapter 384: The High Court Loses to the External Court
The Cloud Rain Dragon inherently contained various aquatic elements within its body.
Yet now, it resembled a gigantic fish on the verge of death from dehydration.
Guan Wenqi stood there, stunned, as if his soul had left his body…
A Peak realm dragon defeated by one of a lower realm!
This was unheard of!!
In terms of strength, his Cloud Rain Dragon should have completely overpowered the other one.
How had it come to this?
“Do you want your dragon to dehydrate to death?” Han Wen reminded him.
Only then did Guan Wenqi come to his senses, rushing over to his Cloud Rain Dragon and hurriedly pushing it toward the beach.
Seeing this, Han Wen shook his head helplessly, summoned a Giant Dragon, hoisted the charred, fish-like Cloud Rain Dragon, and carried it to the nearby beach.
The Cloud Rain Dragon’s entire body soaked in the seawater, its rain glyph scales frantically absorbing the ocean’s nutrients.
It was uncertain how long it took, but the Cloud Rain Dragon finally recovered from its extreme dehydration. However, it no longer dared to soar into the sky, instead hiding most of its body in the sandy seawater, casting fearful glances toward the sky at the unassailable Azure Phoenix Green Saint Dragon!
Guan Wenqi could naturally empathize with this fear.
But he still couldn’t accept this reality.
“So does that mean our Li Chuan Academy has passed this trial?” Zhu Minglang asked with a confident smile, his mouth slightly upturned as he inquired of Supervisor Sun Chong.
Sun Chong’s face twitched with fury!
Where on earth did Duan Changqing find such a stand-in!
How could a minor place like Li Chuan produce such a powerful Dragon Shepherd?
It must be Duan Changqing’s deceit!
“Duan Changqing, I can understand your desire to have Li Chuan Academy join the Dragon Taming High Court, but to stoop so low as to cheat for this trial, bringing in someone who does not belong to your academy to impersonate a student, is utterly disgraceful!” Sun Chong, no longer caring about his image, pointed at Duan Changqing and said.
“I knew you would say that, a petty person will always be petty. Supervisor Han Wen, I have here a complete set of documents, which include Zhu Minglang’s enrollment last autumn and various contributions he made at the academy, all sealed with tamper-proof stamps. I hope Supervisor Han Wen will handle this fairly,” Duan Changqing said.
When Zhu Minglang arrived at the Dragon Taming High Court that day, Duan Changqing had already considered this issue.
There had to be official documents proving that he was a student of Li Chuan Dragon Taming Academy, otherwise Sun Chong would surely not acknowledge it. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
Despite the rush over these days, using the fastest messenger dragon, they managed to bring over Zhu Minglang’s enrollment documents along with other proofs.
Han Wen took the documents prepared by Duan Changqing and read through Zhu Minglang’s academy records in detail.
The records were very detailed, including the dates of classes, the day tasks were accepted, and the completion of those tasks with the credits and rewards received…
There were also handprints, made with a type of ink that changes color over time and cannot be altered, allowing for immediate verification.
“Young man, please step forward, I need to compare your handprint,” Han Wen said to Zhu Minglang.
Zhu Minglang walked over and extended his palm, stamping his handprint onto a sheet of white paper.
Using a Dragon Shepherd’s insight, handprints could be discerned with the naked eye.
Of course, Zhu Minglang also recognized this woman; she was the injured girl he had escorted back from the distant seas of Neon Sea. He hadn’t expected her to be an academy supervisor, holding a high position.
Han Wen examined him carefully.
Interestingly, Han Wen’s attention wasn’t on the palm print, but rather on Zhu Minglang’s body and cheeks.
It seemed as though she wasn’t comparing the palm print, but whether Zhu Minglang was the same person as the reclusive Dragon King Powerhouse from before.
“He looks very similar, but his documentation is genuine, proving he is indeed from Li Chuan Academy with no doubt. It seems I’ve thought too much; they must merely resemble each other to some degree,” Han Wen muttered to herself.
In fact, upon seeing the documentation, Han Wen felt somewhat disappointed.
After all, if the documents were genuine, then this student was a bona fide Li Chuan student, and it became impossible for him to be the hermit-like Dragon King Powerhouse.
Han Wen couldn’t believe that a Dragon King Powerhouse would, a year ago, have cleaned the Reserve Dragons Storage Hall, stayed up all night for a few baskets of Large Meat Silkworms, or caught some kind of dazzling fish demons, all for a bit of gold reward. Though the difficulty of the missions he accepted later increased and he became an outstanding student with access to abundant resources, this only indicated a rapid growth in strength, which was still worlds apart from the Dragon King Realm.
“These documents, there is no problem; he is a Li Chuan freshman. This examination is now concluded. The strength of Li Chuan’s external institute is for all to see, and at the same time, they abide by the Dragon Taming Academy’s fine traditions. They do not easily harm living beings, showing proper restraint. On the other hand, as the host, as an example for the other branches, the students of the main institute have made me feel ashamed,” Han Wen said with an extremely stern tone.
She couldn’t interfere with the specifics of the examination.
But she was clear about the final result.
Li Chuan Branch was qualified for inclusion in the Dragon Taming High Court.
“Our High Court actually lost to a wild chicken academy…”
“Are you seeking death? Dare to call it a wild chicken academy? It’s the Li Chuan External Institute, and who knows, it might become Li Chuan Branch next year!”
“This Zhu Minglang is really amazing. I feel like he could sweep away the other geniuses in our High Court too!”
“Their other students aren’t weak either.”
“To be honest, I also feel a bit humiliated; our High Court freshmen lost to an external institute’s students. Alas, what a tremendous disgrace!”
“The shame isn’t ours; it’s Supervisor Sun Chong’s. He picked the students, he organized the examination. Having Guan Wenqi take action was already a desperate move to save face for the academy, yet Guan Wenqi was defeated. Their honor has been completely lost!”
“I reckon this matter will spread quickly. I wonder how other powers will mock us.”
They wanted to humiliate Duan Changqing, which is why they made this examination public.
Yet precisely because it was public, even if they tried to suppress the news, it simply couldn’t be contained. In no more than a day, the entire Man City Academy, and even the whole population of Man City, would know about it.
The matter might even spread to those kingdom courts. People from the Dragon Taming High Court were often treated as honored guests by courtiers, and this incident could spread among the nobles and the Dragon Trainer circles as well.
And all this negative impact,
would ultimately have to be shouldered by Sun Chong, who planned everything!
Sun Chong’s eyes were lifeless. He too hadn’t expected such a result.
In order to trample on Duan Changqing’s dignity severely, he had completely offended Han Wen, and what awaited him was likely to be an inquiry from even higher levels of the academy!
…
Zhu Minglang returned, and everyone crowded around him, speaking excitedly and incoherently.
“Zhu Minglang, from the first day you joined our institution, I knew you were extraordinary and that you were destined to have the fortune of an Immortal God!” Hong Hao said.
“So you’ve always relied on your own strength to enjoy the prosperity, I, Chen Bai, will definitely offer incense to you every day, to get a touch of your celestial luck!” Chen Bai said.
Someone, not knowing who, slapped Chen Bai on the forehead, angrily saying, “If you can’t speak properly, then shut up. Let me do the fawning.”
