Dragon Tamer

Chapter 367: Chapter 369: The Reclusive Expert Zhu Minglang

“That Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor is too cunning and malicious. Every time the Great Instructor makes a move, it escapes far away. In this way, it found an opening and seriously injured Han Wen,” said the slightly plump Academy Inspector.

“It keeps harassing us, preventing us from taking Han Wen back for treatment. If this drags on, Han Wen might…” Great Instructor Lin Zhao sighed deeply.

In the end, it was my own lack of caution and underestimating the wits of that Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor.

In terms of pure strength, Great Instructor Lin Zhao surely wouldn’t fear that beast, as he himself possessed the reverence of a Dragon King.

But with the Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor employing such tactics to continuously harass them, preventing them from resting and healing, they naturally grew increasingly anxious as they saw Han Wen’s condition getting worse and worse.

“There’s no need to worry too much. If it continues to harass us, the Great Instructor and I joining forces should be able to deal it a heavy blow,” Zhu Minglang said.

…

During the flight, Zhu Minglang felt a sense of being watched.

It was as if a pair of eyes, hidden in the vast high sky, was looking down at him and the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon.

The Heavenly Slaughter Dragon sensed it too, occasionally looking up into the high sky, but apart from the azure expanse, it saw nothing.

That Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor must be tailing them.

Yet even as they approached the coast, it hadn’t shown itself, nor had it taken action against their group.

Indeed, it’s cautious. A Holy Spirit eagle with a cultivation base of over twenty thousand years wouldn’t recklessly attack without understanding the true strength of the TianSha Dragon King.

This part of the escort went rather smoothly, and Neon Sea Fantasy City finally appeared on the horizon.

Lin Zhao and the other Academy Inspectors all exhaled a long breath of relief.

It was a close call, with no misfortune in the end.

“Your Excellency, please come with us to the Academy. After we send her for treatment, I will personally take you to select the Holy Spirit Blood,” Great Instructor Lin Zhao said enthusiastically.

“Sure,” Zhu Minglang nodded in acknowledgment.

Upon entering the Academy, the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon swept through the sky above, naturally drawing cries of awe from countless students within.

Normally, above the Dragon Taming High Court, students were not allowed to have their Dragon Beasts fly at will, but with the Great Instructor present and given the urgency of the situation, the TianSha Dragon King naturally became the center of attention for the entire Academy.

Heading toward the Rehabilitation Pavilion, two Academy Inspectors supported the woman named Han Wen into the building.

Before entering, Han Wen took a special look at the masked Zhu Minglang, her pale lips parted slightly to murmur softly, “Thank you, your Excellency. May Han Wen know your name so I might have the chance to return the favor in the future.”

“It was a slight effort; don’t mention it. You should focus on healing, Miss,” Zhu Minglang responded indifferently.

Han Wen gave Zhu Minglang another deep look before fully entering the Rehabilitation Pavilion.

…

Lin Zhao personally led Zhu Minglang towards the Treasure Tower.

In terms of systems, structures, and divisions, Li Chuan Dragon Taming Academy and the Man City Supreme Dragon Taming Court here were consistent, showing that Duan Changqing strictly followed the guidelines of the Supreme Court when establishing the Li Chuan Academy.

Reserve Dragons Storage Hall, Rehabilitation Pavilion, Treasure Tower, Great Hall of Learning, Practice Field, Appointment List…

It’s just that the scale here was obviously much larger than that of Li Chuan, and there was a more detailed division, forming a more complete Academy system.

The Treasure Tower was also divided into several floors, with each floor harboring treasures of different levels.

The Holy Spirit Blood was on the sixth floor, and every level here was as big as a plaza. If one day I could loot the Treasure Tower of the Dragon Taming High Court, that would be true wealth that could rival nations!

“Collecting Holy Spirit Blood is not easy, but Man City Academy gathers all sorts of treasures and provides various rewards for outstanding students and teachers, and of course, we also gift some to guests like yourself who have extended a helping hand to our academy,” said the Great Instructor Lin Zhao.

“Can this Holy Spirit Blood also be exchanged with credits?” Zhu Minglang realized that the Treasure Tower’s stock of Holy Spirit Blood was quite substantial.

“Certainly, although it’s rare for students to be able to afford it. It’s usually the teachers who save up for several years before they can exchange for a portion…” Great Instructor Lin Zhao paused for a moment as he said this and then naturally explained to Zhu Minglang.

“Then I’ll take this portion of Night Dragon Blood and this portion of Ten-Thousand-Year Evil Beast Blood, if that’s okay?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“Yes, it’s just a shame that there are strict rules regarding every treasure here, and I as Great Instructor can only provide two portions. Otherwise, I could give you all these millennium bloods,” said Great Instructor Lin Zhao.

“That will be enough, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave now,” Zhu Minglang said.

“Good, good, if you need anything, feel free to come to me. You have been kind to people, and I, Lin Zhao, would very much like to make your acquaintance,” Great Instructor Lin Zhao earnestly said.

“I cannot reveal my identity at this moment, but perhaps in a few days, I might really need the help of the Great Instructor…”

“Just speak up, I, Lin Zhao, will do my utmost!” Great Instructor Lin Zhao said.

Offering the Holy Spirit Blood was merely to compensate for the losses caused to this gentleman while he was escorting them.

But the favor of his escort still needed to be repaid.

Of course, Lin Zhao hoped to have such an opportunity, but he feared that this mysterious strong man might not take such a small matter to heart.

…

After seeing off this mysterious King-level Dragon Shepherd, Great Instructor Lin Zhao walked over to the Rehabilitation Pavilion.

Inside the Rehabilitation Pavilion, Han Wen lay quietly on a long bed. Her bleeding injuries had stopped, and her complexion had notably improved. There was a renewed sparkle in her eyes.

“Great Instructor, do you know the identity of that man?” Han Wen immediately asked.

“He appears to be a young man with a Dragon King… The Gentry and the Big Sects have not heard of such a shining figure either. I cannot guess where he is from,” Great Instructor Lin Zhao shook his head.

The information revealed by the other party was not much.

“What a pity. Such a powerful figure, if only we could…” Han Wen softly said.

“Don’t lose heart. During my conversation with him, I caught on to a detail,” Great Instructor Lin Zhao said.

Then, Lin Zhao relayed the part about “exchanging with credits” to Han Wen, as mentioned by Zhu Minglang.

With a somewhat surprised look, Han Wen watched the Great Instructor and after a while said, “Does the Great Instructor think that this mysterious and powerful individual might be in our academy, and is perhaps living here incognito as a student?”

“Yes, the possibility is quite significant,” Great Instructor Lin Zhao nodded.

Generally speaking, people in the academy would refer to their contributions to the academy as academy points.

But only students would refer to these contributions as credits.

Of course, it’s also possible that the individual has heard of it since the internal systems of the Dragon Taming Academy are not a secret.

But having this possibility is worth Great Instructor Lin Zhao making an attempt.

“I have already instructed my subordinates to find out more; perhaps we can locate this young powerful individual who possesses the TianSha Dragon King. Of course, even if we do discover him, we should not disturb him lightly,” Great Instructor Lin Zhao said.

Han Wen nodded.

Indeed, such exalted figures often have idiosyncratic temperaments.

As long as he is truly hiding among their students, there will be an opportunity for more familiar relations in the future.
