Dragon Tamer

Editor: Exodus Tales

“Roar!!!!!!!!!!”

The adolescent Green Forest Dragon opened its enormous mouth, and the breath of its roar alone was enough to sweep away objects nearby, making Bai Qi, who was still relatively small, seem like a sparrow flying in a storm.

Stepping forward, the Green Forest Dragon’s fearsome charge was so powerful it could effortlessly shatter a stone wall, and its speed was not slow either.

This time, the Green Forest Dragon did not intend to give the Ice Morning White Dragon the opportunity to harness the wind.

The Ice Morning White Dragon’s wings, resembling that of a butterfly’s, it could be seen fluttering lightly in the air, and the clean, delicate body leaped to a higher position.

At the same moment, the Green Forest Dragon also launched itself into the air, viciously biting at the Ice Morning White Dragon.

In the instant it lunged towards the Ice Morning White Dragon, the green glowing vines that grew over its body turned into an even more massive demonic maw, sealing off all possible escape routes for the Ice Morning White Dragon! The Ice Morning White Dragon would either be entangled by these light vines or be swallowed whole by the Green Forest Dragon. The Ice Morning White Dragon nimbly side-flew, its speed suddenly bursting mid-glide.

With a flap of its wings, the Ice Velvet Feathers on the edges spread apart, carrying along with them the surging airflows, flying towards the obstructing green light vines!

The glowing vines, once fiercely growing, were about to entrap the Ice Morning White Dragon, but as the Ice Fluff scattered, the vines were rapidly frozen, turned into static frost vines.

Bai Qi passed through these ice-bound vines, avoiding the Green Forest Dragon’s biting vine array…

“Be careful of the poison!” Zhu Minglang’s voice rang out at this moment.

Zhu Minglang noticed the Green Forest Dragon developing poison sacs during its evolution, so this Green Forest Dragon, in addition to controlling plant vines, also had a poisonous attribute.

Bai Qi had indeed overlooked this, but fortunately, Zhu Minglang’s reminder allowed it to prepare in advance!

The Ice Morning White Dragon turned and flew backwards, its auxiliary wings vibrating at a high frequency. Countless magic frost mists could be seen pouring out of these wings, spreading out in the air and condensing into a very magnificent ice screen!

The ice screen was vast, unfolding in a fan shape, like an ice peacock spreading its enormous tail feathers. A wide range of venom came spraying towards it, and a portion of it was blocked by the ice screen.

The venom corroded the rock walls and the wooden desks of the classroom. The stone and ground were still alright, showing only slight signs of corrosion, but the wooden desks and chairs were rapidly decaying. If even a bit of it touched someone’s skin, it would be directly melted through!

Behind the ice screen, the Ice Morning White Dragon remained unharmed, but the Green Forest Dragon did not cease its attack. It crashed through the Green Light Vines, shattering the ice screen and its venomous vine-wrapped claws struck at the Ice Morning White Dragon.

The classroom ceiling was already quite high, but it still limited the flight of the Ice Morning White Dragon. Moreover, the Green Forest Dragon’s strong ability to control the field had begun to show as the vines with poison thorns covered the ground, walls, and ceiling, continuing to grow and filling up most of the spacious classroom in a short time…

The Ice Morning White Dragon was dodging the Green Forest Dragon using its agile movements, but the area available for it to move in was gradually being constricted by those poisonous thorn vines. It was nearly hit by the Green Forest Dragon’s claws several times.

“Fly outside, don’t tangle with it here,” Zhu Minglang said to Bai Qi.

This confined space was already disadvantageous for the Ice Morning White Dragon. Zhu Minglang now felt a bit of regret; even if there needed to be a battle, it should have been in a different terrain.

“`

Alas, it was a little too late now; those vines sealed off all four sides of the terraced area. If Bai Qi attempted to fly out, it would be tantamount to throwing oneself into the net.

Having evolved to the growth period, the Green Forest Dragon was no longer merely a ferocious beast. It had become proficient in forest magic, capable of producing continuously growing vines around it. These vines were indeed lethal to agile creatures, like an ever-densifying, ever-tightening spider’s web!

Finally, the Ice Morning White Dragon was cornered. The rampaging Green Forest Dragon came barreling in; its venomous claws striking from the left and right. The vines on the wall closed in from the top down, and its gaping maw aimed to bite. Should its teeth close, the Ice Morning White Dragon, with its current size, would either die or be left crippled!

Zhu Minglang frowned, his palm facing toward Bai Qi. The summoning symbol lit up in his hand, ready to recall Bai Qi into the Spirit Realm the moment the Green Forest Dragon touched him…

But that symbol was a Summoning Gate linked to the Dragon Shepherd’s soul. A Dragon Shepherd could rapidly recall their dragon to dodge a fatal enemy attack. However, the impact would hit the symbol, and the resulting shock would be borne by the shepherd’s own soul!

The injury to the soul was tens or even hundreds of times more painful than physical suffering and much harder to recover from.

Some overly strong impacts could even claim the Dragon Shepherd’s life outright!!

…

The Ice Morning White Dragon gently flapped its white wings, suspended in midair, seemingly with no room to retreat and at the mercy of its opponent. Yet its slender and supple tail had become tough without anyone noticing…

“Swish!!!!”

Just as Zhu Minglang was bracing himself to bear the cost, the beautiful braided tail of the Ice Morning White Dragon transformed into a deadly sting. At the moment of the strike, it became fiercely powerful, as if reinforced by numerous joints, and an astonishing trail of needle-like shadows appeared!

The tail sting of the Ice Morning White Dragon targeted the Green Forest Dragon’s eyes. The Green Forest Dragon’s lunge had now exposed a flaw, deftly evaded by the Ice Morning White Dragon.

“Boom!!!!!!!!!”

The Green Forest Dragon crashed into the rocky wall, causing the academy to tremble. Chunks of limewash fell down like sand beside it, scaring the students gathered at the very back.

“Woo~~~~~~~~~~”

“Woo~~~~~~~~~~~”

The Green Forest Dragon not only cracked its skull from the collision but found its eyes an unbearable torment.

Blood spilled from its eyes, starting initially as a sharp pain, but the agony swiftly spread from its eye sockets throughout its body, incapacitating this ferocious beast on the ground!

Looking at the Green Forest Dragon wailing on the ground.

Then, at the Ice Morning White Dragon that once again landed on the head of the Green Forest Dragon.

Nan Ye seemed as though he was struck by the same dragon sting, convulsing in agony!

Defeated.

“`

He lost once again!

The Green Forest Dragon nearing its growth period, and a True Dragon one step shy from the Dragon Gate, was defeated by such a mixed spirit!!

“You… What kind of dragon is this!” Nan Ye bellowed in a furious shame.

Zhu Minglang stood there.

He did not answer.

It wasn’t because he was taking this opportunity to pretend to be mysterious and unfathomable; it was because he was himself completely shocked!

It’s just a juvenile…

Strictly speaking, Bai Qi is merely a newly born baby dragon!

Yet, it managed to defeat a semi-adult Dragon Son!!

Even Zhu Minglang wanted to ask himself: What kind of dragon is this!!!

All beings have four important periods.

Juvenile period, growth period, adult period, complete period.

As beings and dragons step into a new period, an “evolution” occurs!

Not only does this evolution exponentially increase their strength and change their physical form, but it also awakens some unbelievable abilities!

The strength Bai Qi exhibited at this moment was clearly approaching the first level of a True Dragon—the Dragon Child Level.

The issue is, the vast majority of True Dragons also require reaching adulthood to possess the strength of the Dragon Child Level!

Just like Nan Ye’s Green Forest Dragon, it only reached the Dragon Child Level upon becoming an adult…

If Little Bai Qi is demonstrating this kind of strength at the juvenile period, then with three more opportunities to evolve, if each evolution is a significant advancement, the levels it can reach would not merely be the Dragon Child Level or Dragon General Level!!!

It could be a Dragon Lord…

Or even a Dragon Monarch!!!

“That is an Ice Morning White Dragon, with its primary bloodline being the Silver Moon Response Dragon and its secondary bloodline the Star Wind Ice Dragon, which is also a True Dragon.” At this moment, a gentle and dignified voice came from the entrance.

Zhu Minglang himself could not fully confirm Bai Qi’s bloodline, yet this person seemed to have some understanding of this rare kind of dragon, even capable of identifying its primary and secondary bloodline.

Looking over, Zhu Minglang couldn’t help but be amazed.

It was the Dragon Shepherd girl who had saved him and Little Black Tooth at the waterfall. Could she also be a student of this academy??

“Teacher Duan Lan.”

“Teacher Duan Lan, good morning.”

Students in the academy bowed their heads one by one to pay their respects, showing their reverence for this Dragon Shepherd girl.

Zhu Minglang’s mouth fell open.

A teacher???

To have such a beautiful and sweet-voiced teacher with powerful strength!

Upon reflection, it made sense. Someone who owned a Waterfall Flood Dragon like that, how could they possibly be just another student struggling under the Dragon Gate like them?

“The performance of the two students in front of the academy was not bad. Both of you, return to your places,” Duan Lan glanced over the somewhat disheveled classroom, not too concerned about it, and continued with the lesson.

“Lan Sister… Teacher Duan Lan, my Green Forest Dragon’s eye,” Nan Ye still harbored resentment and did not want to let the matter rest just like that.

“Apply this to your Green Forest Dragon’s eye, and it will recover quickly. You should be grateful. It could have directly pierced your Green Forest Dragon’s pupil, and that would have been fatal,” Duan Lan glared at Nan Ye, displaying a bit of strictness and fairness.

Not blinded??

Nan Ye hurriedly followed Teacher Duan Lan’s instructions, applying the healing medicine to his Green Forest Dragon’s painfully injured eye area, only then did Nan Ye realize the wound was at the corner of the eye, indeed not damaging the pupil.

But if left unchecked, the wound could spread, and the entire eye might die.

“Everyone take your seats. Today we will be talking about bloodlines. There are three major bloodlines among dragons: Ancient Dragon, Giant Dragon, and Azure Dragon,” Duan Lan began teaching without waiting for the students to sit down.

Everyone was still not over the recent battle but out of respect, no student raised any objections. They quietly straightened out the disordered chairs and tables and diligently took their seats.

Of course, the way they looked at Zhu Minglang had completely changed.

Especially for Hong Hao, Li Shaoying, and those who shared the same dormitory with Zhu Minglang.

“Ancient Dragons possess war skills. Giant Dragons cast magic. Azure Dragons have Profound Art.” Duan Lan seemed to have been outside earlier, she did not intervene in the battle between the two dragon pets, she continued,

“Take Nan Ye’s Green Forest Dragon, for example. Its type is that of a standard Giant Dragon, and those Green Light Vines are the Green Forest Magic it has mastered.”
