287: Chapter 287 Martial Dragon Palace 287: Chapter 287 Martial Dragon Palace “Such powerful punching force, I could probably smash a Martial Soul Realm expert to death with one punch, right?”

Sikong Jing muttered softly and then laughed, “Indeed, it’s a great gain.

Let’s call it…

Golden Dragon Fist!”

Behind him, Yisuo stared in awe.

Could this apprentice actually be an Inner Palace student in disguise, capable of repelling even the air stream?

The punching force dissipated, and the air stream pressed down again.

Sikong Jing turned to look back at Yisuo and asked, “Senior brother, are you okay?”

“I’m managing, with you blocking it for me I can hold on, but probably not for much longer.”

Yisuo snapped back to reality, still feeling the effects of the air stream even though Sikong Jing was shielding him.

“We should not be far from the exit now; I need to speed up, we’ll soon be ascending the mountain.”

Sikong Jing took a deep breath.

Because the entire Dragon Vein was now etched in his heart, he had an accurate estimation of the mountain path’s length, then he shouted again, “Forward.”

He instantly accelerated, and Yisuo followed in a rush, not daring to slow down.

After merely ten breaths, both of them shot out from the mountain path.

The environment changed around them, the narrow passage disappeared, and they found themselves at the gate of Golden Dragon Mountain as they looked back at the regular mountain path.

The two of them had officially passed the test of the Golden Dragon Mountain Path.

“We’re out, we finally made it!”

Yisuo leaned on his knees, gasping heavily with a hoarse voice, and then he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Sikong Jing was stunned, hurriedly shaking his body and calling, “Senior brother, senior brother, are you alright?”

But no matter how much he called, Yisuo remained motionless.

Sikong Jing quickly took his pulse and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Yisuo was just exhausted, and it seemed he had a decent gain as his True Qi was violently surging inside him.

It probably wouldn’t take long for him to break through his current realm.

“He collapsed in front of the mountain gate, so he should soon be seen by the students of Golden Dragon Mountain and taken back for rest.”

“Forget it, I should head to the Martial Dragon Palace first.”

As Sikong Jing spoke, he stopped caring for Yisuo and recalled the last time Qin Heng had brought him here, then he found the direction to the Martial Dragon Palace and strode away!

Just as he left, far in the Demon Dragon Mountain, a pair of golden eyes opened wide.

Then, a secret technique flashed out of the eyes, drifting towards the distance.

…

In the Northern Mountain of the Long Night Empire, a woman in a golden robe suddenly paused, disbelieving.

The next moment, a drunken voice rang out, “I say Bitch, what are you spacing out for at a time like this?”

The woman in the golden robe looked up angrily and said, “Tan Yue, if you dare call me Bitch again, do you believe I’ll rip your mouth off, smash all your treasured wines, and drown you with water-soaked wine?”

Despite the threat, Dean Tan Yue was not the least bit scared and retorted angrily, “Vicious, Shen Qingye you are truly vicious.”

Many people stood around them, all rendered speechless.

Then, a middle-aged man stepped forward and said, “Palace Master, Dean Tan Yue, can you two stop it?

Stop quarreling, please.”

This middle-aged man was none other than Vice Palace Master Qin Heng.

And naturally, the woman in the golden robe was Shen Qingye, the Palace Master of Long Night Saint Dragon Palace.

After discovering that the Ancient Demon Dragon had turned Xingluo Palace into ruins, Tan Yue had been continuously pursued by Yu Wenxiong and others wanting to silence him; afterwards, Palace Master Shen Qingye came to his rescue but was still pursued.

Because there were just too many people from Xingluo, the two of them couldn’t overpower them.

Having no choice, they had to send out another distress signal.

After receiving the signal, Qin Heng quickly brought the elders to provide support.

By now, Qin Heng and the elders had just arrived for a short meeting, only to find the two of them doing nothing but arguing incessantly.

“Qin Heng, shut up!”

Shen Qingye and Tan Yue said in unison, after which sparks flew from their eyes as they clashed repeatedly.

Instantly, Qin Heng and the elders were even more speechless and developed headaches…

Suddenly, Shen Qingye shook her head and snorted coldly, “Tan Yue, I can’t be bothered with you.”

Saying this, she turned to ask Qin Heng again, “Qin Heng, are there any super geniuses among the new apprentices recently?”

The latter was startled, shook his head, and replied, “There are some geniuses, but no super geniuses.”

Qin Heng was full of confusion.

Why would the Palace Master suddenly ask such a question?

“That’s strange.

The Seven Transformation Divine Dragon just sent a message saying that an apprentice has passed the trial of the Golden Dragon Mountain Path.”

Shen Qingye’s brow furrowed slightly.

As soon as her words fell, everyone in the room widened their eyes.

An apprentice had passed the trial of Golden Dragon Mountain, a feat that no one had managed for many years.

The crowd quickly reminisced, but could not recall any apprentice capable of passing the mountain path trial.

And Qin Heng also said there was no one like that among the new apprentices.

“Ha ha, it seems our Long Night Saint Dragon Palace is brimming with talent.”

However, unable to think of anyone, Qin Heng couldn’t help but burst into laughter; he thought of Sikong Jing’s situation.

Although the boy was a Spirit Martial Root, creating a Beast Skill was also significant.

Together with this apprentice who managed the mountain path challenge, their Long Night Saint Dragon Palace seemed to be thriving.

But the next moment, Qin Heng abruptly stifled his laughter, realizing something, “Oh no, I forgot to give him the Golden Dragon Token.”

Tan Yue asked irritably, “Qin Heng, why are you always so jumpy?”

Qin Heng gazed deeply at Tan Yue.

He was about to speak about obtaining a Martial Skills genius this time, but seeing the other elders around, he opted to keep quiet for now.

The matter of Sikong Jing would wait until he could speak privately with the Palace Master.

“Hm?”

Just then, Shen Qingye’s gaze hardened, and she commanded, “Attention, Yu Wenxiong the old bastard is coming, battle starts!”

The next moment, a ferocious battle erupted, with thunderous roars and curses unceasing in the Northern Mountain…

As for the genius who passed the Golden Dragon Mountain Path trial, everyone had no time to worry about that anymore.

Qin Heng thought as he fought, Sikong Jing probably wouldn’t rush to Golden Dragon Mountain so quickly; even if he wanted to, Yu Yan and Wen Hu would handle everything smoothly, and he needn’t worry.

And he had no idea that the plethora of talents he mentioned…was actually just Sikong Jing alone.

Thus, the core masters from the two major academies fought fiercely in the mountains, turning day into night, with neither sun nor moon in sight.

…

Atop Golden Dragon Mountain, Sikong Jing was stopped by an elder, “This is the Martial Dragon Palace, no entry without permission.”

Sikong Jing hesitated not a bit and presented Qin Heng’s token, then smoothly entered the Martial Dragon Palace.

Just as he entered, he was slightly taken aback.

In the Martial Dragon Palace, there was another person, a woman in a black dress sitting before a pillar, engrossed in something.

Not recognizing her, Sikong Jing naturally did not disturb her but walked to one of the pillars, stood and observed the carved Demon Dragon, entering its illusion to understand its power.

However, these pillars were ultimately not real Demon Dragons, and while he gained some insights, it was impossible to fully create a Beast Skill from them.

But it was good to get familiar first, so it would be much easier when observing True Dragons later on.

He could also learn the Combat Skills of the Demon Dragon Knight from the illusions, supplementing his own Martial Skill and Martial Combat library.

For both his present and future self, this would be immensely helpful.

In this manner, Sikong Jing deeply immersed himself, understanding and learning all the Demon Dragon and Knight Combat Skills carved on the pillars.
