Dragon Tamer

Chapter 59: Facing the Dragons

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

“This is the challenge letter we’ve drafted. Upon hearing that there’s a shameless and rampant scoundrel like you, numerous students from the academy are eager to teach you a lesson. Take a look for yourself.” Yin Yaozu handed over the joint letter to Zhu Minglang.

Zhu Minglang took it.

Wow, actually seventy or eighty people!

Did he overdo it, dragging in some bystanders as well?

“True sentiments are always fraught with difficulties and dangers. Merely less than a hundred people, how could I, Zhu Minglang, shrink back?” Zhu

Minglang said, his face unchanged.

Having said that, Zhu Minglang walked toward the River Battlefield under the admiring eyes of the many academy’s elder sister-students, with the pride that he would be willing to confront this world for the sake of one person.

For some reason, though, after walking a distance, his calves started to feel weak, and he had to try his best to control it so as not to reveal any flaws to others.

Do his beloved’s admirers really number that many?

Is there only one peerless beauty in this Ancestral Dragon City? The number official Dragon Herding teachers of the academy should be only a few thousand, and many often travel in all directions. So how come there are fifty extra people on this challenge letter all of a sudden?

Other beauties are also attractive, aren’t they? How come these classmates have the same taste as him?

Maybe he should run away after crossing the river?

By the time Zhu Minglang had crossed the river, the challenging party also gradually appeared on the other side of the river.

In total, there were twenty students, mainly those hypocritical supporters who had surrounded Zhu Minglang in the academy.

“The academy has already set a rule that each fight can involve no more than twenty people. However, to deal with you, I alone am enough. The others just need to summon their dragons and watch from the side,” Yin Yaozu said to the others.

“Good, once you’ve beaten him, we’ll all spit in his face together!” Chen Leiluo said.

Chen Leiluo’s strength was even greater than that of Yin Yaozu, and he also had a degree of fame within the academy.

However, since they were going to drive out Zhu Minglang, it seemed more appropriate for the well-backed Yin Yaozu to do it.

Moreover, since the other party dared to answer the challenge in this way, he must be hiding something. Having Chen Leiluo there would also prevent any unexpected occurrences.

“You may summon your dragon pets now. Considering the odds -many against few— you are only allowed to call upon one dragon for the fight. Please choose wisely.” Yawning and appearing lazy, a handsome young instructor rode on a Flying Bird Pseudo-Dragon, clearly very reluctant to preside over the event.

This long-haired young instructor seemed to be quite famous among the female students. The elder sisters who came with him to watch the battle all had brightened eyes when they saw that it was him. “Teacher Bai Yishu, thank you for the trouble.”

“Thank you for the trouble.”

Yin Yaozu, Chen Leiluo, and the others were dismissive yet didn’t dare to show the slightest disrespect to this instructor and bowed one after another.

“Let’s get this over with quickly; don’t delay my afternoon nap. It’s better to spend time traveling through famous mountains and rivers to broaden your horizons instead of always stirring up strife over these trivial matters,” Teacher Bai Yishu said impatiently, waving his hand.

“You’re right, Teacher. You’re right. Once we’ve dealt with this insolent fellow, we will certainly travel more to gain experience, ” Yin Yaozu said respectfully.

“Speaking of which, what are you fighting for this time, and why is there only one person on the other side?” Bai Yishu asked indifferently.

“Oh, this is Zhu Minglang, the vagrant who tainted the reputation of our Female Monarch. I have no idea how he managed to steal a letter of introduction from the academy. Not only does he loiter in the academy, waiting for his death, but he’s also spouted madness…” Yin Yaozu hurriedly spoke of Zhu Minglang’s attempt to monopolize the Female Monarch.

“I see, that does make things a bit more interesting…” Bai Yishu curled his lips upward, still maintaining his disinterested and indifferent demeanor.

Each person summoned a dragon, resulting in twenty dragons sprawled on the western side of the river. According to Yin Yaozu’s initial statement, their sole duty was to cheer from the sidelines to prevent any denial of defeat by their opponents.

After all, once they brought the opponent down, each could take their turn stepping on him and spitting on him to make him understand what he really was, before using some method to make him completely disappear from this world.

Yin Yaowu opened his Spirit Realm, summoning a Red Clawed Speed Dragon that he possessed.

Speed Dragons are standard Ancient Dragons, among which they are a particularly cunning and ferocious type of predator. Don’t be fooled by the

Speed Dragon’s size, which is only comparable to an adult cow or horse; among True Dragons, they aren’t considered particularly coarse or strong. However, they are extremely fast, skilled at jumping, and even better at ambushing.

Their claws are retractable, capable of rotating to a great degree, akin to some slaughtering blade instruments. Once targeted by a Speed Dragon in the wild, it usually means certain death, given their top-tier tracking abilities.

Yin Yaozu’s Red Clawed Speed Dragon had clearly been trained as an executioner on the battlefield. Its forelimbs, more flexible than a human arm, could easily slice through leather armor, flesh, bones, and even pierce internal organs…

Such a vicious creature inherently possessed a bloodthirsty nature. If the Dragon Shepherd failed to control it properly, it was highly possible an accident could occur on this battlefield.

Fortunately, such academy battles did not permit attacks on Dragon Shepherds, nor did they allow students to slay dragons.

But rules were rules, and whether Yin Yaowu would abide by them was another matter entirely.

Chen Leiluo also summoned his dragon, a Stone Dragon covered from head to toe with thick mudstone. This Stone Dragon not only carried the Triangle Armored Dragon Bloodline from the Ancient Dragons but also had the blood of a Giant Dragon from the Grey Dragons. It was not purely a close-combat battering ram!

The other eighteen individuals also revealed their Spirit Contract Seals, showcasing their True Dragons, most of which were recorded in the bestiary though their bloodlines were mixed.

Fierce Sparrow Dragons, Wind Drift Dragons, Saber-toothed Tiger Dragons, Violent Wolf Dragons, Green Forest Dragons…

Zhu Minglang recognized most of them as their distinctive features were fairly clear, but among them was one dragon that caught Zhu Minglang’s particular attention, an Azure Dragon.

Without a doubt, it was a Candle Dragon.

Its form resembled a giant gecko, with extremely smooth scales tinged with mottled patterns.

It had only front limbs, no hind claws, and it moved rapidly, its slender body swaying like a bamboo leaf snake. Moreover, its forelimbs were clearly very powerful, able to effortlessly crush large rocks.

Since the opponents were across the river, Zhu Minglang couldn’t identify the master of the Candle Dragon, but it was definitely worth noting.

“You don’t have any other assistance?” Teacher Bai Yishu asked as he circled above Zhu Minglang on a Flying Bird Pseudo-Dragon.

“This is my own business,” Zhu Minglang said.

“You can summon all your dragon pets now, or you can keep your summoning rights and call them during the ongoing battle,” Teacher Bai Yishu said.

Zhu Minglang nodded and also opened his Spirit Realm, summoning the Black Azure Violent Dragon that had been raring to go!

Zhu Minglang’s Spirit Contract Seals were all black. The Black Azure Violent Dragon stepped out of the huge seal gate, standing on the somewhat muddy riverbank, almost instinctively raising its proud Tyrant Dragon’s Skull, wanting to roar to the heavens and fully release its Dragon’s Domineering Spirit!

But as soon as it opened its mouth wide, the Black Azure Violent Dragon’s eyes scanned the enemies on the opposite bank.

A group of ferocious and evil True Dragons!!
