Chapter 176: Azure Dragon Appears! Simple Probing
Since the four deans had already given their authorization,
Miao Cong naturally took out a jade flute and slowly began to play it.
And the moment the jade flute sounded,
Buzz!!
An invisible and mysterious wave quickly spread out. All kinds of magical beasts, which had been frolicking joyfully, suddenly prostrated themselves on the ground, their proud heads slowly lowered to the earth.
This was a gesture of submission.
In the next moment,
Rumble!
The originally clear and sunny sky suddenly gathered countless gray clouds, forming a swirling vortex.
It seemed as if a massive storm eye had appeared out of nowhere in the sky!
Accompanied by deafening thunder and lightning.
The ground was already swept with sand and stones, and the fierce wind raged everywhere!
A vast dragon might descended upon this land, causing countless magical beasts to tremble in fear!
The five deans stood with their hands behind their backs, unmoving amidst the raging wind, their clothes unaffected.
But Ling Zhan had to raise his arm to shield himself from the immense wind pressure, his ink-and-water yin-yang robe flapping wildly in the fierce wind.
He looked up,
And to his astonishment, within the clouds, he saw a gigantic azure dragon's claw extending from the sea of clouds!
Deeper within the clouds, a huge dragon's body, as large as a mountain range, twisted and turned, riding and maneuvering through the clouds!
It was indeed one of the four sacred beasts of the Dragon Kingdom!
The Azure Dragon!
Thump!!
Accompanied by a sudden, massive dull sound from within the clouds.
A colossal dragon head emerged above the sea of clouds, its golden vertical pupils as large as stars, coldly overlooking the earth's tiny creatures.
The dragon's horns shone with a vibrant, life-filled green, symbolizing the 'Wood' element of the Five Elements.
The green dragon scales emitted a chilling light, and its four muscular, sharp claws could shatter mountains and sever rivers.
All of this displayed the formidable power of this divine beast's descendant.
Huh!?
Atop that huge dragon head, unexpectedly, stood three awe-inspiring...
Children!?
Ling Zhan, standing on the ground, with the vision enhancement of the Ten-Thousand Demons Eye, could clearly see the scene atop the dragon's head.
"Old friend, long time no see."
Zhou Hongfu's aged face showed a gentle and nostalgic smile.
And just as Zhou Hongfu spoke,
Roar!!
The Azure Dragon let out a deep dragon roar, and then its enormous body, which was churning within the clouds, burst forth with a dazzling azure radiance!
Ling Zhan...
Had to cover his eyes again.
This vast dragon might had no effect on him.
After all, he had already received the bloodline inheritance of the Lord of Ten-Thousand Demons.
But the magical beasts in the vast plain let out humble whimpers.
Even the giant stone beasts, as big as small mountains, curled up under the dragon's might, closing their eyes tightly, ready to meet their fate.
The sophomore students working part-time as keepers here could only hide under the bodies of the giant beasts, finding a sliver of comfort.
In just a few breaths,
The azure radiance finally dissipated.
The gray clouds and deafening thunder gathered in the sky also vanished.
The sky returned to its usual clear and sunny state.
And in front of the five deans, at some point, a tall man in an azure robe had appeared.
This man was strikingly handsome, with long azure hair and golden pupils. A pair of light azure dragon horns emerged from his temples.
On his neck, there was a noticeable patch of reverse-scaled azure-gold dragon scales.
Reverse scales.
Behind this handsome man, three children stood with their hands on their hips, pouting angrily at the five deans.
It seemed as if the sudden summons of the deans had interrupted their playtime with their father, making them upset.
Of course...
These three children were also incredibly adorable, like little jade sculptures.
Two boys and one girl.
All dressed in azure robes, with dragon horns on their heads.
The handsome man nodded to Zhou Hongfu expressionlessly, acknowledging him, but completely ignored the other four deans.
This was quite normal.
In fact, divine beast descendants, except for their own contractors, generally treated people of other races with cold disdain.
But in the next moment...
He frowned and looked at the tall young man standing nearby.
Demon blood!
And it's the blood of the Lord of Ten-Thousand Demons!
This kid... could he be the offspring of the Lord of Ten-Thousand Demons!?
This thought arose in an instant.
He extended his slender hand, reaching out to grab Ling Zhan!
Behind him, a dragon's shadow emerged, and a colossal, nearly tangible azure dragon claw, imbued with vast dragon might, swept towards Ling Zhan!
And the five deans showed no intention of intervening!
Ling Zhan would never just stand by and do nothing!
'Phantom Shift'!
Faced with the terrifying dragon claw capable of tearing through space, Ling Zhan's form suddenly became ethereal, as if merging into the void.
Crack!!
The terrifying azure dragon claw struck empty air, forcibly ripping out a large fragment of space!
Huh?
Missing his strike, the handsome man uttered a sound of surprise.
Even the three proud little kids widened their eyes.
Their father's attack had actually missed...
However,
The next second,
What left the three little kids even more dumbfounded was...
This tiny human actually took the initiative to attack!
That human had somehow appeared behind their father!
A finely crafted black dagger, emanating an unparalleled sharpness, aimed directly at the handsome man's neck!
Its target was the reverse scale!
However,
The handsome man, with his hands still folded in his sleeves, remained motionless.
He allowed Ling Zhan to strike at the reverse scale!
Ding!!
The black dagger clashed with the reverse scale, producing a crisp metallic sound.
Ling Zhan's pupils suddenly contracted!
Because he clearly saw that from the azure-golden reverse scale, a small dragon claw had grown, gently pinching the dagger's tip!
A sudden sense of crisis erupted!
An azure dragon arm suddenly extended from the handsome man's back, reaching directly for Ling Zhan!
The speed was terrifying!
Even though Ling Zhan's terrifying combat instincts had anticipated the danger in advance,
His strength still couldn't allow him to avoid such a space-crossing terrifying attack!
However, fortunately...
Crack!!
The dragon claw passed through Ling Zhan's ethereal body, once again grabbing at empty air.
And unsurprisingly...
The space where the claw grasped was directly shattered into pieces.
Whoosh!
Ling Zhan's figure suddenly retreated, leaving a long mark on the ground.
But the handsome man still kept his hands folded in his sleeves, his expression indifferent.
He slowly turned around, and for once, a trace of interest appeared in his golden vertical pupils.
Obviously,
The two missed attacks had sparked the Azure Dragon's interest in this human youth.
However, the demon blood flowing in this youth's veins still disgusted him...
"Alright, old friend, a simple probe is enough, don't make things difficult for my student."
At this moment,
Zhou Hongfu finally spoke with a cheerful tone.
Wang Shi, standing nearby, twitched his mouth.
What do you mean, your student?
He's clearly my student!
You old rascal, have some shame!
Tui!
