“Hou!!” The Green Forest Dragon opened its huge mouth. The air from its breath could sweep nearby objects away. Baiqi was still petite, and felt like a sparrow flying in a gale.
The Green Forest Dragon strode forward. The force of a ferocious beast’s charge could easily pulverize a stone wall, not to mention it wasn’t slow by any measure!
This time, the Green Forest Dragon had no intention of giving the White Ice Morning Dragon time to gather the wind!
The White Ice Morning Dragon’s wings were very similar to those of a butterfly. With a gentle flap, the petite white figure rose to a greater height.
The Green Forest Dragon pounced at the same time, biting ruthlessly at the White Ice Morning Dragon.
In the instant it pounced at the White Ice Morning Dragon, the green light vines around its body turned into the larger mouth of a demon, sealing off all directions the White Ice Morning Dragon could escape to! The White Ice Morning Dragon had to either be entangled by those glowing vines, or be swallowed by the Green Forest Dragon.
The White Ice Morning Dragon flew sideways nimbly, and his speed suddenly spiked as he did.
Beating his wings, the icy fluffy feathers at the edge of them suddenly scattered. The surging air current flew toward the glowing vines blocking the White Ice Morning Dragon!
The glowing vines were propagating rapidly, and about to entangle the White Ice Morning Dragon. However, as the icy feathers scattered, the vines were quickly frozen solid, turning into frosty vines and freezing still.
Baiqi flew past those frozen vines, and avoided the Green Forest Dragon’s deadly vine trap…
“Watch out for poison!” Zhu Minglang’s voice suddenly rang out at this moment.
Zhu Minglang had already noticed the Green Forest Dragon had developed a venom sac during its evolution. This Green Forest Dragon not only had the ability to control vines, it also possessed the attribute of poison!
Baiqi had indeed neglected this point. Thanks to Zhu Minglang’s timely reminder, he made the necessary preparations!
The White Ice Morning Dragon turned around and flew upside down, his auxiliary wings beginning to vibrate rapidly. Countless frosty vapors flew out from his wings, scattering in the air and condensing into a very elegant screen of ice!
The ice screen was huge, and spread in a fan shape, like an ice peacock spreading its tail. A wide spread of venom spewed in its direction, but a portion of it was blocked by the ice screen!
The venom corroded away the stone wall and the wooden tables in the classroom. The stone wall and flooring’s condition were still fine, with only slight traces of corrosion. The wooden tables and chairs were dissolved rapidly, however. If even a tiny bit of it had reached someone’s body, their skin would directly be eaten through!
The White Ice Morning Dragon was sheltered behind the screen of ice, and wasn’t hurt in the least. However, the Green Forest Dragon didn’t stop at that. It moved past the green glowing vines and slammed violently into the ice screen, shattering it, and lashed out with its claws, now wrapped in poisonous vines, at the White Ice Morning Dragon.
The lecture hall had a rather tall ceiling, but it still restricted the White Ice Morning Dragon’s flight. Also, the Green Forest Dragon’s powerful restrictive ability was gradually showing its effectiveness. The floor, the wall, and the ceiling were now covered in vines with poisonous barbs, and they were still growing non-stop, covering half the spacious hall in only a short time…
The White Ice Morning Dragon made use of its nimbleness to circle around the Green Forest Dragon. However, the area it could move in was gradually being taken up by the poisonous vines, and it was nearly struck by the Green Forest Dragon’s claws on several occasions.
“Fly outside. Don’t tangle with it here,” Zhu Minglang told Baiqi.
This narrow space was disadvantageous for the White Ice Morning Dragon to begin with. Zhu Minglang was somewhat regretting it now. Even if he were to fight, he should have chosen another location.
It was already too late for regrets now, however. The vines had sealed off the balconies on all four sides. Flying outside would be like intentionally stepping into a trap for Baiqi.
After evolving into its growing phase, the Green Forest Dragon was no longer just a ferocious beast. It had become proficient in plant magic, able to grow vines continuously in its surroundings. Those vines were simply too lethal for nimble creatures, like an increasingly dense and oppressive spider web!
At last, the White Ice Morning Dragon was forced into a corner. The Green Forest Dragon came charging ferociously, using its barbed claws to attack from the left and right, while the vines on the walls sealed the way up and down, its savage mouth biting from the middle. Given its stature, the White Ice Morning Dragon would likely be crippled, if not dead, if it was bitten!

Zhu Minglang frowned, and aimed his palm in Baiqi’s direction. An imprint lit up in his palm. If the Green Forest Dragon came into contact with the White Ice Morning Dragon, he would immediately recall Baiqi into his spirit domain…
The imprint was like a summoning gateway connected to the Master Dragon Tamer’s soul. The dragon tamer could help their dragons avoid lethal attacks from enemies by quickly recalling them, but the enemy’s attack would land on the imprint, and the dragon tamer’s soul would have to bear the resulting shockwave!
An injury to their soul was ten times, even a hundred times more painful than a physical injury, not to mention being hard to recover from.
Some overly powerful shockwaves would even directly claim the lives of dragon tamers!
—
The White Ice Morning Dragon flapped its white feathers gently, hovering in the air, seemingly having no way to retreat, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. However, the slim and soft tail at its back had toughened without anyone realizing it…
Shua!
Just as Zhu Minglang was prepared to take the hit in his dragon’s place, the White Ice Morning Dragon’s beautiful braided tail had actually turned into a deadly dragon stinger. When it attacked, it was like multiple joints exerting strength at the same time, extremely fast and ferocious, producing a shocking blur like a needle’s shadow!
The White Ice Morning Dragon’s tail punched out at the Green Forest Dragon’s eye, forcing an opening in its pouncing bite, allowing the White Ice Morning Dragon to easily slip through.
Bang!
The Green Forest Dragon slammed into the stone wall, and the entire hall shook. Some lime fell from the wall like sand, and the students were so frightened that they shrank to the rear of the hall.
“Wuooo…! Wuooo…!”
The Green Forest Dragon slammed its head so hard its skull cracked, but what hurt even more was its eye!
Blood flowed out from its eye. In the beginning, it only felt like a stinging pain, but soon the pain spread from its eye socket to its whole body, and the violent beast fell to the ground, incapacitated!
Seeing the Green Forest Dragon crying on the ground, then seeing the White Ice Morning Dragon landing on the Green Forest Dragon’s head once more…
It was like Nan Ye had been stung by the dragon’s stinger as well, twitching in pain!
Defeated. He was defeated again!
The Green Forest Dragon… in its growth phase… a real dragon only a step away from its dragon gate… had actually lost to such a trash spirit!
“Wha… what dragon is that?!” the shamed Nan Ye roared out angrily.
Zhu Minglang stood there and didn’t bother to answer the question.
He wasn’t using the opportunity to act like an unfathomable expert, but that he was stunned as well!
An infant phase…
Strictly speaking, Baiqi was only a newborn baby dragon… but he had actually defeated a half-grown Dragon Child!
Even Zhu Minglang was asking, -What is this dragon!?-
All living creatures had four important phases: the infant phase, growth phase, adult phase, and complete phase.
Living creatures and dragons would undergo an “evolution” every time they crossed a phase. The evolution was not only an increase in strength, but its body would transform, and it would even awaken some unimaginable powers!
The strength demonstrated by Baiqi right now was clearly close to the first rank of a real dragon, the Dragon Child rank.
The problem was… most real dragons would only have the strength of the Dragon Child rank in their adult phase!
Nan Ye’s Green Forest Dragon, for example, would only be a Dragon Child-rank existence after reaching adulthood…
Little Baiqi was already showing such strength in its infant phase. It still had three more chances of evolving; if it experienced a huge increase in strength every evolution, the strength it would possess wouldn’t only be at the Dragon Child, or even Dragon General rank!!
It might be a Dragon Lord… perhaps even a Dragon Monarch!!
“That is a White Ice Morning Dragon. Its main bloodline is of a Silvermoon Winged Dragon, and its secondary bloodline is of a Starwind Ice Dragon, both true dragons,” a soft and composed voice came from the doorway.
Even Zhu Minglang himself wasn’t able to confirm Baiqi’s bloodline, but this person seemed to have some insight with regard to this kind of rare dragon breed, and was actually able to point out its main and secondary bloodline.
Looking over, Zhu Minglang couldn’t help but be shocked.
It was actually the flood dragon woman who saved him and Heiya below the Phoenix Falls. Could she be a student of this class, too?
“Teacher Duan Lan!”
“Good morning, Teacher Duan Lan!”
The students in the hall lowered their heads in salutation one after another, expressing their respects to the flood dragon woman.
Zhu Minglang’s mouth opened wide.
-Teacher?!-
-There’s actually such a strong and beautiful teacher with such a sweet voice?!-
It made sense when he thought about it. How could someone with a Waterfall Flood Dragon be a student like this bunch, struggling before their Dragon Gates?
“These two students’ performances at the stage are not bad. Get back to your seats,” Duan Lan swept her gaze across the somewhat messy classroom, not minding it, and continued with her lesson.
“Sister Lan… Teacher Duan Lan, my Green Forest Dragon’s eye…” Nan Ye still felt anger and resentment inside, not wanting to let this matter rest like this.
“Apply this on your Green Forest Dragon and it’ll recover soon. You should feel thankful. It could’ve directly penetrated your Green Forest Dragon’s pupil and dealt it a fatal blow.” Duan Lan stared at Nan Ye, showing her strictness and fairness.
-It’s not blinded?!-
Nan Ye hurriedly applied the medicine to the suffering Green Forest Dragon’s eye, as per Teacher Duan Lan’s instructions. It was only then that he realized the wound was at the corner of its eye, and its pupil was indeed unharmed.
If he allowed the wound to spread, however, its eye would be useless!
“Get back to your seats, everyone. We’ll be talking about bloodlines today. Dragons are separated into three great bloodlines, namely the Ancient Dragon, Great Dragon, and Azure Dragon lines!” Duan Lan didn’t wait for the students to return to their seats and directly started her lecture.
Everyone had yet to recover from the battle earlier. Out of respect, the students raised objections and quickly tidied up the fallen tables and chairs, returning to their seats.
Of course, their gazes toward Zhu Minglang had completely changed.
That was especially true for Hong Hao, Li Shaoying, and the other students sharing the same residence courtyard as Zhu Minglang!
“Ancient Dragons have battle skills, Great Dragons are able to cast magic, and Azure Dragons possess mystic arts.” Duan Lan seemed to have arrived at the doorway much earlier, and hadn’t stopped the battle between the two dragons.
She continued, “Take Student Nan Ye’s Green Forest Dragon, for example. It’s an orthodox Great Dragon, and the glowing green vines are the plant magic it wields.”
