Chapter 363: Chapter 365: Young Dragon Challenges Demon Spirit
Fei Song was obviously not an easy person to get along with.

Once he opened his mouth to speak, the others basically did not idle, chatting and boasting anymore.

After all, his words were quite discouraging and left the others with little room to refute.

He was the strongest, and this time he came to the High Court mainly to undertake the test, relying on him, Fei Song.

“Rest early. In a week, we’ll have to give it our all,” Bai Yishu came over and said to all the students.

Everyone said their goodbyes and headed back to their rooms.

Although everyone seemed optimistic, it was merely self-comfort; being in a completely unfamiliar place and at such a grand and imposing academy for dragon taming, everyone felt a bit nervous and uneasy.

Zhu Minglang turned out to be the one who slept the most soundly, while the others found it hard to fall asleep.

After all, if they performed poorly in a week, they would not only lose face but might also cause the Li Chuan Dragon Taming Academy to be torn down, and they wouldn’t have a stable place to stay even if they returned to Li Chuan.

…

Zhu Minglang did not participate in the seven-day special training organized by Duan Changqing.

He only had one dragon now, and the direction of its nurturing was already very clear; it was unnecessary to distract the dean with his affairs.

It was not clear yet what form this test would take.

If each side sent one person out to battle and the scores were based on victories or defeats, then all Zhu Minglang could do was to secure a victory for his academy. The rest would depend on the other students.

So, their strength could not be too weak.

During these three days, Zhu Minglang strictly followed Mr. Jinli’s guidelines, searching for the Essence of Nature and Source of Holy Light for Little Qingzhuo. Now, the two major bloodline abilities of the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon were precisely this Natural Drive and Light Control Technique, which had to be strengthened and cultivated to the utmost, so that Little Qingzhuo could make greater breakthroughs when entering the next stage of growth!

The resources of the Neon Sea were exceedingly rich, and Zhu Minglang quickly gathered all that was needed.

Of course, breeding, strengthening, and nourishment had reached the highest level of nurturing, but what was lacking was actual combat.

Combat should not be overlooked. Little Qingzhuo even had a battle will flowing through its bloodline. During the initial confrontation with the Vulture Dragon, it had fully displayed its racial instincts.

On the third and fourth days, Zhu Minglang ventured into some desolate wetlands, allowing the Little Azure Dragon to fill up its evolutionary energy faster by fighting the demon creatures in the wild.

The growth stage was akin to a reservoir storing water, and these four factors were the streams pouring into the reservoir. Once it was completely full, there was hope for evolution!

After two days of battling in the desolate wetlands, Zhu Minglang could feel that Little Qingzhuo’s growth was rapid!

“Qingzhuo, don’t go there; that’s the territory of a Thousand Year Lizard Water Monster,” Zhu Minglang hurriedly called out to the Little Azure Dragon.

The Little Green Saint Dragon was a bit mischievous, flying freely over the wetlands. In those days, it had killed over a hundred Lizard Water Demon Spirits that were more than five hundred years old, which was a terrifying record for a young dragon!

Zhu Minglang was now a King-level Dragon Shepherd with strong spiritual sense, so finding these gregarious demon creatures was a piece of cake.

Of course, he could also easily determine the cultivation base of these Lizard Water Monsters. During these days, Zhu Minglang mainly sought out demon spirits for Little Azure Dragon to trial, as Demon Spirit Levels above a thousand years were too dangerous for a young dragon.

Even for a noble-blooded Holy Azure Phoenix Dragon, surviving the cruel claws of demon spirits was difficult at this juvenile stage.

“Hiss hiss hiss hiss~~~~~~~”

A low growl emanated from the lush mangrove forest, the brazen actions of the Little Azure Dragon had already disturbed this Thousand Year Demon Spirit.

The Lizard Water Monster demon was likely some sort of hybrid bloodline from a Giant Dragon, their size comparable to that of adult crocodiles, especially those with cultivation bases over five hundred years were simply prehistoric behemoths, nothing like mere lizards.

And the Thousand Year Demon Spirit was even more exaggerated with its body covered in firm lumps of flesh, and black-brown scales on its back, head, and tail!

Atop its massive and fierce head, the lizard’s crest was extremely pronounced, resembling the soaring dragon horn of a Giant Dragon!

“Good heavens, this fellow is probably just a step away from the Dragon Gate, with so many dragon-like features already on its body!” Zhu Minglang exclaimed in surprise.

Scales and horns, these were all signs of an impending dragon transformation.

Considering its own Thousand Year Demon Spirit cultivation base, if one day it truly transcended through the Dragon Gate, it would likely be at least of the Dragon Lord Level, becoming a dominant Tide Manipulating Giant Dragon reigning over this desolate wetland!

“Are you sure you want to challenge it? If you really dislike it, you could just wait until it advances to the growth stage,” Zhu Minglang suggested.

Demon Spirits could feed on Dragon Sons.

At this moment, the Lizard Water Monster had its eyes on the Little Azure Dragon, and for a demon about to transform into a dragon, devouring a young Holy Dragon would probably directly catalyze its dragon transformation!

The Lizard Water Monster certainly didn’t want to miss this rare opportunity.

At levels like the Holy Dragon, even after transforming into a dragon, the Lizard Water Monster wouldn’t dare to provoke them, but young dragons were another matter!

Its long tongue had already shot out, and rows of sharp teeth were exposed to the air; the Thousand Year Lizard Water Monster had made up its mind to embark on its path to becoming a Giant Dragon by taking advantage of this young and naive Little Sacred Dragon!

“Whoosh!!!!!!!!!!!!”

The Thousand Year Lizard Water Monster was able to manipulate tides, and the gentle waters of the wetland swelled dramatically with its lunge, forming a very wide and massive wave.

With the water surging, the Lizard Water Monster’s speed increased significantly, like a fearsome sea monster charging in from the deep ocean, quickly inundating this stretch of mangrove forest!

The waves rolled with tremendous force, while the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon maintained a low flight, its azure dragon pupils fixated on the Thousand Year Lizard Water Monster.

The azure patterns on its feathers began to glow slowly, the light reflecting off the mangroves growing in the shallow waters of the wetland…

Soon the mangrove forest grew rapidly, its branches intertwining with one another, the trees and canopies neatly arranged into a splendid wall of forest!

The mangroves formed a sea wall to withstand the powerful tidal waves, and the Thousand Year Lizard Water Monster crashed into the tall and lush trees, appearing somewhat awkward.

Nonetheless, it managed to clamber over using its sturdy body.

Suddenly, it plunged its huge head into the water, and its belly began to wriggle and inflate to four or five times its original size!

The shallow water was almost drained, leaving only mud and sand behind.

The Thousand Year Lizard Water Monster felt as if its body was about to burst, but in that moment, it fiercely spat out a lethal water jet towards Little Qingzhuo!

The power of the water jet was so fierce that even rocks were instantly shattered, and its continuous spray meant that even if Little Qingzhuo adeptly dodged it, once the Lizard Water Monster turned its neck, the terrifying water jet would sweep over again.

Little Qingzhuo tried to summon the forest, building a fortification of plants, but this barricade of tree trunks and branches could not withstand the impact of the high-pressure water jet and was smashed to pieces!
