Dragon Tamer-Chapter 493 - 495: The Earth is Empty, The Demon within Man
Chapter 493: Chapter 495: The Earth is Empty, The Demon within Man
“`
Mr. Jinli has also said that Zhu Minglang, as a Dragon Shepherd, comes with one attribute, that is, every dragon must be equipped with the most gorgeous Dragon Armor!
This Dragon Armor is equivalent to adding an extra feature to each dragon, and a very powerful one at that!
In fact, Zhu Minglang had just learned a new forging and refinement technique and hadn’t even had time to strengthen this piece of Meltfire Heavy Armor; given some time to fortify it, the Dragon Armor would become even more resilient. The sharpest claws of a Lord-level Dragon that dare reach for it would break off, and even the claws of a Monarch Level are estimated to be unable to tear it apart.
“Zhu Minglang is simply a god swimming in a fishpond…” Inside the arena, Luo Shaoyan secretly held Zhu Minglang in high respect.
By now, Luo Shaoyan was utterly convinced that Zhu Minglang was a super big shot; the dragons he’d seen were basically all Zhu Minglang’s new dragons, in the nurturing stage of young dragons.
But Zhu Minglang was a bit too harsh when crushing the weak. How could he treat all the high-achieving students from the Man City Dragon Taming High Court as punching bags? Everyone shamelessly ganged up on him, and it wouldn’t have hurt to let everyone win just a bit, is it too much to ask for a bit of humility and compassion?
“Shaoyan, do you recognize this Zhu Minglang?” asked an elder from the Luo Mountain Sect.
“How could I not recognize him, he’s my brother. We first met when we got completely drunk together at Xuancao Mountain Castle. I saw something extraordinary in him right away, so I’ve always treated him with sincerity!” Luo Shaoyan said with a proud smile, and he started to rave about Zhu Minglang among the Nine Tribe elders.
The young man, grinning with pride, had completely forgotten that he had once cautioned Zhu Minglang not to boast about drinking with him to others!
“That’s very good. You’ve made progress since leaving the sect. Such friends should indeed be made!” said the Luo Mountain Sect elder.
“There’s something I’d like to discuss with Uncle. My brother is somewhat lacking in Dragon recognizing techniques, could we possibly…” Luo Shaoyan whispered.
“For a friend like that, sincerity is paramount. If you trust his character, you can share it with him, but, of course, you must warn him not to spread it further.” The Luo Mountain Sect elder hesitated, but eventually nodded in agreement.
“Thank you, Uncle!!” exclaimed Luo Shaoyan, overwhelmed with joy.
Previously claiming that the Dragon recognizing techniques he shared with Zhu Minglang were mere trivialities, it wasn’t that Luo Shaoyan was unwilling to be open, but the family rules were extremely strict.
Without the permission of the elders, anyone caught privately teaching others would have their limbs broken, even if those others were their own flesh and blood.
With his uncle’s permission, he could finally give Zhu Minglang something substantial!
…
“Vice Chancellor, looking at the current situation…” the academic affairs and supervisory instructors had already turned pale.
A fine opening battle for the spring season had turned into this debacle. It’s hard to say whether to blame the students for being too weak or the opponent for being too fierce!
“It’s alright, Zhu Minglang is also a student of our academy, isn’t he? It’s not like he’s being trounced by an outsider; there’s no shame in that. In fact, I hope that the academy will produce more such remarkable personalities to truly test the students’ mettle!” the Vice Chancellor said, stroking his white beard.
“This is not so much testing mettle as it is…”
Testing mettle should provide motivation to grow stronger, with the belief that one can eventually overcome obstacles.
The current scene was clearly about crushing sprouts and roots, making these young saplings from the academy, even with abundant rain and intense sunlight in their future, resolutely afraid to emerge from the soil, for the world is too perilous!
“Relax, relax, I observe that dragon should only be in its growth period, although it grows fiercer with each battle, it ultimately has its limits. Sending one or two more groups should be enough to take it down.” The Vice Chancellor seriously told the students and teachers.
“Grow… grow… growth period…” A few students who had been defeated were already at the peak of humiliation, and that word almost brought them to their graves on the spot!!
“Chancellor, Chancellor, someone has fainted from heatstroke!”
“How can there be heatstroke in spring? It’s probably just a seasonal cold. Drinking some ginger juice should do the trick. Now, where was I? Oh right, I believe his Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon has not reached the Complete Period…”
“Chancellor! Please stop!!”
The instructors were going mad.
Students in the background had collapsed in large numbers, some even foaming at the mouth!
If this continued, not only would their mettle be eroded, but it was the courage to reincarnate in the next life they would be losing!!!

…
On this day, neither the teachers nor the students at the Dragon Taming High Court would forget the fear of being dominated or the humiliation of being treated like ground moles battered into stakes…
In the Great Competition Field, a dense black light prevailed, and in the utter despair of defeat after defeat, the Refining Ash Black Dragon let out an earth-shattering roar!
Its wild breath swept across, blowing away twenty or thirty Lord-level Dragons in the arena!
The ground was littered with broken teeth, cracked claws, bloodstained scales, shattered horns, and rotten skin, forming the most terrifying halo around the Black Dragon!
As the Black Dragon finally collapsed, exhausted, countless people thought the humiliating, desperate day would finally end, but the Refining Ash Black Dragon—advanced!!!
From the growth period to the complete period!!!
The Refining Ash Black Dragon’s advancement did not require spiritual resources, but this kind of indomitable fighting spirit!
With a surge in cultivation base, the aura of the Refining Ash Black Dragon instantly reached Middle-level Monarch Level; its Predator’s Wild Breath and ancient ferocity swept through like wind through leaves, flipping all the Lord-level Dragons in the arena.
In full view of everyone, this Dragon ascended from Lord Level to Dragon Monarch, and moreover, reached a realm unattainable by the entire academy.
…
“It advanced, ah, today’s training of the baby was a complete success!” frёewebηovel.cѳm
“The vice principal explicitly stated that no Dragons above Monarch Level are allowed in the arena. I, Zhu Minglang, have no Dragon Lords to summon. I’ll take my leave now, ah!”
The whole field fell silent.
Stunned, holding their heads crying, falling backwards unconscious, foaming at the mouth… perhaps this was the darkest day in the history of the Dragon Taming High Court.
Even the vice principal and the instructors hadn’t anticipated this outcome; after everyone reluctantly sacrificed their last shred of dignity to collectively attempt to defeat the great villain and the great Evil Dragon with sheer numbers, this was the result!
The sun was bright, the spring breeze gentle, yet the hearts and minds of all the teachers and students were riddled with scars, shrouded in darkness.
No one remembered how they left the Great Competition Field in the end.
For many days after, the scenic spots of the academy no longer saw couples frolicking intimately; the beach training fields lacked diligent students and Dragons sweating together; the sacred halls were devoid of passionate students envisioning their futures…
The Dragon Taming High Court in Man City, as though shrouded by a massive devil, stripped the youthful students of all their vitality and verve. Even though the actual devil had left on a new journey, his shadow still lingered all year round, leaving everyone anxious and restless.
Hell is empty, and all the devils are here!
…
“Senior sister, I am about to embark on a long journey. I have so many things I want to tell you.”
“Then I wish you a safe trip… Hey, why did you leave already, what about the things you wanted to tell me!”
…
“Junior sister, it’s a bright sunny day today, let’s go together… Junior sister, why did you slap me.”
…
“Would this student please read aloud from the Dragon Trainer’s doctrine…”
“Teacher, someone’s got heat stroke again.”
