The Strongest Dragon in the Era of Beast Taming

Chapter 636: 630

Looking at the Rosewood logo suddenly lighting up on the big screen, Sanne couldn’t help but lower her head, “Tch tch tch, what a jinx!”

She then turned her woeful eyes towards David Jones, “Captain, believe me, it really isn’t my fault!”

Hearing this, everyone laughed, and the Rosewood College team’s lounge was filled with joyful atmosphere.

“Fine, fine, fine, it wasn’t your fault, it’s because I’m too strong.”

David Jones shook his head with a smile and closed the door he had just opened.

“At this rate, are we going to set a record as the first team to claim the championship without having played a single match?” Margaret Yule teased.

“That sounds quite nice, but we’d probably end up as the champions with the least presence in history,” added Jackson Grant, also quite surprised.

“Senior, should we respond to the rumors on the internet?” Richard Goodwin suddenly suggested.

As the saying goes, spreading rumors is easy, but refuting them is hard work.

In previous tournaments, the teams that encountered the Big Five would always fight as soon as they met, characterized by a headstrong aggression, completely unafraid of being completely annihilated.

Because they knew that the Five Great university teams had a fine tradition of nurturing their juniors, often fielding substitutes from senior or even junior classes in earlier matches.

But this year, David Jones, to save trouble, had left both the substitute player and emergency substitute slots empty, without taking any Purple Haze Club members with him, which made many participating teams feel strange.

Add to that the online viral GIF of David Jones saying “I want to fight seven people” continuously spreading, and for a time, not many teams wanted to challenge the rumored Class VI Flood Dragon, fearing that just trying would lead to their demise.

After all, the gap between a Class VI King and a Class IV King was truly too big, so big that David Jones could inadvertently inflict nonrecoverable damage on the opponent’s pet even when he was holding back.

“I’ll respond to it later. If more surrenders keep happening like this, the Trainer Guild might get involved,” David Jones sighed.

Meanwhile, countless spectators at the venue were cursing under their breath.

Competition tickets were expensive, and they had chosen to be there to watch and support the Rosewood team’s matches, but after all the fuss, they hadn’t even seen a single person.

“This is the deterrence of our president!” Yann York clapped excitedly.

This kind of power, where you didn’t even need to lift a finger to make your opponent back off thirty feet or even flee at the news, was absolutely intoxicating for him.

Yolanda York shook her head speechlessly, too lazy to look at her cousin who had become a diehard fan of the president.

So, as the sun set and the second round of the round-robin tournament was more than halfway done, Rosewood College’s team ended with a proud record of ten wins and zero losses, setting a new record for the national competition.

Since all ten matches consisted of opponents initiating the surrender, the total match duration added up to zero. Coupled with David Jones’s current record for fastest King, some on the internet had started calling him the world’s, not just the Flowery Kingdom’s, fastest dragon-wielding prodigy.

In the evening, upon hearing this title from Margaret Yule, David Jones felt quite ambiguous about it.

If there weren’t gags like on Earth on Blue Star Internet, he’d really suspect someone was intentionally implying something.

That night, brilliant fireworks soared endlessly, and the competition continued.

David Jones sat in the lounge, using Dragon-Wielding to strengthen Loona, while also keeping an eye on the matches ending on screen.

“Dragonsoar Academy, as one of the top eight academies, shouldn’t surrender, right?” Sanne looked uncertainly at her captain.

“You guessed right again!” laughed David Jones.

When seven vibrant players appeared on the stage, the audience in the sub-venue, Earth Ancient Zone, all got to their feet and gave the Dragonsoar Academy players the warmest applause, even the live streaming platform’s comments exploded.

[A true Trainer must never lose the “Pet” named courage. As one of the top eight academies, Dragonsoar Academy’s players haven’t disappointed us!]

[Brave is brave, but did you guys notice that the team captain, Stan Dragonjoy, standing at the front, his hands are shaking!]

[So what if they’re shaking! Anyway, from the moment the Dragonsoar team faced the challenge head-on, I became their fan!]

“Dragonsoar!”

“Go for it!”

“Dragonsoar!”

“Go for it…!”

Walking down the players’ tunnel with his teammates and listening to the audience’s cheering that was so fervent it bordered on tragic, David Jones felt somewhat speechless.

Strange, why do I suddenly feel like I’m the villainous boss?

“Is this really Rosewood City? Is this our home ground? Why are two-thirds of the audience cheering for Dragonsoar Academy’s team!” Jedbrook Harvey blinked in confusion.

Margaret Yule said softly, “You’re not seeing things. There are even a few girls in the front row crying for Dragonsoar Academy’s team. It’s weird, considering of all the teams, I’m the weakest, yet now it seems like our team is the big bad wolf.”

At that, everyone’s gaze turned to the real ‘big bad wolf’ David Jones.

“What are you all looking at me for? Go on!”

David glanced over at the prep area, and Sanne, who was first in the lineup to battle, quickly hurried towards the Duel Platform.

On the opposite side, Dragonsoar Academy also sent a mild-looking young man, Bryant Dragonjoy.

…

Soon, seeing the defeated Sanne, Margaret Yule, and Jedbrook Harvey stepping down one after another, some of the local Rosewood spectators became restless.

What’s going on? The Rosewood team, seen as favorites to win, is getting trampled with a three-to-nil by Dragonsoar Academy, what the NM…

“What’s the rush? Look at the faces of the players from Dragonsoar Academy. Someone who doesn’t know any better might think Dragonsoar Academy is the one losing three to nil,” declared some Trainers who had clearly grasped the situation.

Forget three to nil, even if Dragonsoar Academy led six to nil over Rosewood College, it would all be in vain if David Jones’ pet hadn’t lost yet. Moreover, it was quite obvious that Rosewood’s team was currently sharpening their newcomers.

Hearing this, some anxious spectators also gradually came back to their senses.

“Sorry, I lost!” Jedbrook Harvey said, unwilling to accept defeat.

Bryant Dragonjoy, with his Arcane Star Cultivation reaching Class IV apex, was second only to the leading Stan Dragonjoy in strength at Dragonsoar Academy, and one of the few who could compete with the Big Five seniors of the Flowery Kingdom. Yet, he still wasn’t a match for Ning Jade ranking lower in their team.

If they were the same age, Jedbrook Harvey was confident of victory, but unfortunately, Bryant Dragonjoy had two more years of cultivation than him.

“Leave it to me; winning or losing doesn’t matter. What’s important is whether you learned anything from the battle,”

David shook his head, watching the highlight reel playing back on the big screen.

The somewhat crude offense and defense made the Class IV lower-level Pureblood Flood Dragon “Flame Sealing Flood Dragon” fall within a mere minute to the hands of a Class V lower-level half-blooded ancient dragon.

“Tsk!” (You’re a disgrace to the Flood Dragon clan!)

Rainbow glanced disdainfully at the Flame Sealing Flood Dragon.

Seeing this, David laughed and rubbed Rainbow’s head. In the respectful and trusting eyes of his teammates, he slowly got up.

The next second, countless spotlights converged on David’s location, and thunderous applause and cheers echoed throughout the venue.

Many spectators knew that the moment they’d been waiting for had arrived—the man everyone was looking forward to was finally taking the stage!

In that moment, no one cared about the three points the Rosewood team had lost. Some spectators even started to silently mourn for Bryant Dragonjoy in advance.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, you’ve got some nerve, kid. Daring to pull a three to nil on the big devil’s team!”
