Dragon Tamer

No wonder when asked about his ranking, Zhu Minglang directly told him he was first.

If he possessed a High Rank King Level Cultivation Base, indeed no one in the whole academy could contend with him—he was without question the rightful first!

“Vice Principal, aren’t you going to do something? What precedent does it set if a student can so arbitrarily alter the rules of our academy? How can other students demonstrate their own strength? He’s clearly here to cause trouble on purpose!” a member of the academy administration said, dissatisfied.

“What do you want me to do? Zhu Minglang is occupying the challenge stage on the basis of his strength. And the rule he set actually gives others the chance to show themselves, doesn’t it? Otherwise, people like Tong Huisheng and Song Lu would just go up there, not last half a minute, and get tossed down, dragons and all, right?” the white-bearded vice principal said gruffly.

Seated nearby, Han Wen was also among the audience. She had been quite surprised to see Zhu Minglang, but after giving it some thought, she reasoned that Mr. Zhu was only staying at the Dragon Taming Academy to train his Dragon Babies…

But this Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon Baby was just too formidable, suppressing all the so-called geniuses of the academy without giving them a chance to show any temper!

“I’ll give it a try. We can’t let him run wild on such an occasion,” a young man seated beside Han Wen spoke up at this moment.

“Han Ke, I advise you not to do this,” Han Wen replied.

“It’s fine. I’ll join forces with a few others. Look, they seem very unsatisfied too,” Han Ke gestured with his hand towards a group of seats not far away.

Those seated there were among the highest-ranked in the entire Dragon Taming High Court, each one a top-tier personality, strong enough to hold their own anywhere on the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent.

A High Rank Dragon King appearing so suddenly within the academy, with such an extraordinarily high Cultivation Base, was indeed unheard of, but it was unforgivable for him to humiliate all the students of the academy like this.

Even if joining forces with the other prodigies, they could not let him continue to be so rampant!

After all, the number of challengers was not limited.

One-on-one, indeed no one in the academy was at his Realm, but with the combined strength of the academy’s many heroes, could they not overcome this great villain?

Han Wen glanced around and noticed that several of the students ranked in the top ten of the academy had stood up as if by some unspoken agreement.

They were not going to allow Zhu Minglang to steal all the limelight.

If they worked together and managed to defeat Zhu Minglang, it would also serve to showcase their own strength to the Neon Sea Forces.

Most importantly, they couldn’t just let their pride go undefended!

Seeing her brother Han Ke so determined, Han Wen sighed helplessly, realizing that dissuasion was probably futile.

“Han Wen, do you not have confidence for our academy’s top ten talents to join hands in this battle?” the white-bearded vice principal asked.

“Vice Principal, this Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon is also a Dragon Baby. It assisted us in capturing that expert Yan Zhen—it’s the one. He came to our Dragon Taming High Court to experience life here…” Han Wen said in a low voice to the vice principal.

The vice principal’s mouth fell open in shock, his white beard parting to each side.

“Then we really should set some rules—it’s too unfair. For the proud geniuses we’ve worked so hard to cultivate, it’s nothing short of a devastation. Today might become the darkest day in our academy’s history!” the white-bearded vice principal exclaimed.

“I suggest we follow the rule he proposed,” Han Wen said with a bitter smile.

“Yes, yes, we must protect our flowers.”

…

The academy’s talented individuals had already gathered. Full of vigor, they were planning to join hands and take down the villain Zhu Minglang.

High Cultivation Base or not, they could not allow such insolence!!

No matter what, they had to defeat this person!

“Fellow students, since this is an opening battle for the whole academy, every student should have the opportunity to showcase themselves. We can’t let this grand stage become a personal performance for the Monarch Level students. Therefore, I think Zhu Minglang’s suggestion is very reasonable. From now on, summoning Dragon Beasts with a Monarch Level or higher Cultivation Base to battle is not allowed!” the white-bearded principal stood up and announced loudly to everyone present.

“Principal, what are you doing? Do you also think that even if we unite, we are not his match??” Han Ke exclaimed in panic upon hearing this declaration!

On what grounds!!!

This is the opening battle for the entire academy, on what grounds should the rules be changed just because this big villain says something???

“Dean, if we join forces, we still have the power to fight!”

“Yes, Dean, don’t bolster this big villain’s imposing presence!”

The top ten talented students stomped their feet in anger, one after another. They had all been discussing tactics, so why did the Dean suddenly change the rules!

This great arena isn’t owned by Zhu Minglang, he can’t just dictate how things will be done!!

“I’ve already decided, the competition will continue,” the white-bearded Dean stated with a tough attitude and a firm tone.

Kids, the Dean is trying to protect you.

Without setting this rule, if you all annoy Zhu Minglang, you might face not just a High Rank King Level dragon, but possibly—a Dragon King!!

He’s been keeping a low profile. If the Dragon King is summoned, who knows how many students will start questioning their life choices.

Not to mention the students, even the Vice Dean himself started questioning his own life.

Look at that guy, tall and handsome, in the prime of his youth!

Here I am with a whole bunch of white whiskers, and yet my cultivation base is hardly much higher than others…

With the Vice Dean presiding and making his statement, the staff and instructors didn’t dare to have any further objections, so the rule was forcibly changed.

“All participating students, no summoning of Monarch Level dragons!” a staff member loudly announced the new rule.

“It’s no summoning of dragons above Monarch Level.” At that moment, the Vice Dean cleared his throat loudly, indicating that the staff member had made a mistake.

The staff and instructors were full of confused and puzzled expressions.

Is there any difference?

The Vice Dean’s eyes were exceptionally firm.

The difference is huge!

The staff and instructors didn’t think too deeply, assuming that the Vice Dean was just being very particular about language and rules.

The rule was read out loud again, and the whole assembly was already simmering with excitement.

They actually changed the rules just for one person!

That Zhu Minglang is so domineering!!

“Did they really freaking change it???”

“From now on, in front of my incense table, I will hang only one person’s portrait, and pay my respects three times morning and evening. Zhu Minglang, our eternal deity!” Hong Hao couldn’t help but start worshipping earnestly.

How could they not worship!

In a grand event like the Dragon Taming High Court, they were like nobodies, all probably lacking even the courage to step up, whereas Zhu Minglang simply monopolized the stage, making all the geniuses mere background characters!

A man as brilliant and eye-catching as the blazing sun in the sky, if he isn’t a god, then what is!

“Have we underestimated Zhu Minglang’s abilities?” Duan Lan fell into deep thought.

When they first got to know Zhu Minglang, he was clearly just a student who had set foot on the path of a Dragon Shepherd, with many areas of Dragon Training knowledge blank.

How could it be that in just over a year’s time, he reached such an incredible height!
