CHAPTER 584: CHAPTER 41: DRAGON TAMING PRODIGY

"Listen up, everybody. Follow the rules and don’t cause me any trouble. Take off all your armor, weapons, and jewelry. Each of you pick three sub-Asian dragons. If you’ve got the skills, you can choose from land, sea, or air dragons. Today is the first day, I don’t need you to ride the dragons, just earning the recognition of at least one sub-Asian dragon will suffice." Zhan Tian yawned, waved his hand to signal everyone to choose their sub-Asian dragons, and then found a corner to take a nap.

Since they don’t need to ride the dragons and there are Cultivators to accompany them, this Dragon Riding Class is extremely relaxing.

The Quasi-Dragon Knights all thought so, but Yue Jinghua believed that the Dragon Riding Class would not be that simple.

If it were really just about patting the dragon’s paw, having a human-dragon godly interaction or such, there was no need to schedule the Dragon Riding Class so late in the course.

The Dragon Pulling Test was just around the corner, and this time the Dragon Riding Class might very well be an indirect test.

With that in mind, determined to earn some impression points for her elder brother Yue Minzhi, Yue Jinghua decided to utilize her "Beast Fan" traits slightly during this Dragon Riding Class and seduce a dragon or two.

However, she didn’t plan to choose a Flying Dragon as Long Rui had suggested.

After all, "Yue Minzhi" had kept a low profile in the Dragon Rider Reserve Camp before, and being blindly high-profile would only attract unnecessary suspicion.

In the end, she settled for a sub-Asian Green Lizard Dragon that looked average in appearance and grade.

The Green Lizard Dragon is a hybrid of the Ancient Dragon Clan and Earth Lizards, immensely strong and much more docile than the average sub-Asian dragon.

So, Yue Jinghua didn’t have to expend much effort to gain the trust of the Green Lizard Dragon.

In contrast to Yue Jinghua’s average approach, the other Quasi-Dragon Knights were much more active.

Their thoughts were similar to Long Rui’s: since they were to become Dragon Knights, it would be best to contract a Flying Dragon.

Although they all were sub-Asian dragons, before a Dragon Knight’s Cultivation breakthrough to Dark Heavenly and learning the Sky Ascending Technique, the roles of the Flying Dragons were exceptionally significant.

Moreover, in aerial combat, having a sub-Asian dragon that could intimidate other flying creatures was undoubtedly like adding wings to a tiger, increasing the chances of victory and escape.

Hence, most of the Quasi-Dragon Knights set their sights on the Flying Dragons.

This led to at least thirty of the thirty-six Quasi-Dragon Knights gathering around a few Flying Dragons, occasionally currying favor with them.

To please the Flying Dragons some discreetly took out treasures from their spatial Spiritual Artifacts, while others brought out Dark Pills to tease the dragons with.

Curled up in a corner and seemingly fast asleep, Zhan Tian slightly lifted his eyelids and saw a group of Quasi-Dragon Knights milling around the Flying Dragons. Unfortunately, the Flying Dragons in the Dragon Cave couldn’t even be bothered to lift their eyelids at them,

Zhan Tian, who had seen many people and understood dragon habits very well, realized that this Dragon Riding Class was indeed not simple.

Merely by observing the atmosphere of interaction between the Quasi-Dragon Knights and the dragons, Zhan Tian could judge whether there were any talents fit to become Dragon Riders.

Regrettably, after looking around, they all seemed to be just for show.

He then glanced at "Yue Minzhi" and saw "him" focusing solely on the Green Lizard Dragon after making a choice, not wandering around but establishing a relationship with the Green Lizard Dragon—touching its foot one moment, patting its tail the next, just like a clumsy child.

"Doesn’t that kid want a Flying Dragon?" Seeing "Yue Minzhi" looking so unambitious, Zhan Tian rolled his eyes.

Having confirmed there were no suitable Dragon Rider talents in this batch, Zhan Tian couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. The last batch of Dragon Knights, at least, produced Peng Bo and Jin Nuo, but this batch seemed unlikely to select even one Flying Dragon Knight.

Zhan Tian simply closed his eyes, and this time he really fell asleep.

Long Rui saw "Yue Minzhi" getting along well with an ordinary Green Lizard Dragon and felt anxious in her heart.

It’s known that the Green Lizard Dragon is just the most common type of Earth Dragon; in a formal Dragon Rider Team, they are only responsible for transporting supplies and have quite average attack power and defensive power.

But the Flying Dragon she fancied had also caught the attention of several Quasi-Dragon Knights, and she couldn’t get away at that moment.

"Fine, I’ll complete the mission first, and then think of a way for Minzhi to pick another dragon," Long Rui was anxious as she remembered the ambergris in her spatial waist belt, a gift from Long Jiuzun.

They said that ambergris could attract giant dragons, so she casually took out the ambergris, ready to use it.

Little did she know that when she took out the ambergris, a small and exquisite gemstone ring also slipped out unintentionally.

The fleeting gleam of the gemstone ring instantly caught the attention of the nearby Sub-Asian Dragons.

"Roar---"

A loud dragon’s roar sounded, and the entire Dragon Cave vibrated with a buzzing noise.

Long Rui was petrified with fear. Without a second thought, she quickly pulled a weapon from her spatial waist belt, trying to ward off the approaching giant dragon.

When Long Rui drew her weapon, the situation turned for the worse.

One of the unlucky ones was directly overturned by an Earth Dragon, trampled over, and it was unclear whether they were dead or alive.

The Quasi-Dragon Knights beside her were scared out of their wits, each one scattering and running for their lives.

"Lulu." The Breeders made the signal sounds to control the giant dragons, but the giant dragons, agitated by the gemstone ring’s light and the ambergris, were restless and flew out from their respective Dragon Caves one after another.

The steps of Green Dragons, the excited spitting of fire by Red Dragons, the rushing noise of Blue Dragons emerging from the water, the Black Dragons flapping their wings.

Every Sub-Asian Dragon in the entire Dragon Cave surged out, overwhelming the Breeders’ voices.

Zhan Tian leaped up, only to see Long Rui had been knocked to the ground by a giant dragon, scrambling in panic.

Too many people, too many dragons; Zhan Tian was overwhelmed and found it impossible to get closer to Long Rui.

"Damn it, didn’t I say not to flash the weapons," Zhan Tian was hopping mad. He soared up like a roc, ready to rescue Long Rui.

However, the Flying Dragon closest to Long Rui opened its mouth wide, and its ferocious Dragon Teeth lunged at Long Rui.

"!" Zhan Tian’s vision went dark.

Only to see a green shadow dashing over like lightning.

As he focused, the green shadow turned out to be a Green Lizard Dragon, with Yue Minzhi seated boldly on its back.

With one swift movement, "he" bent down quickly, scooped up Long Rui, and shielded her behind his body.

Long Rui had already smelled the foul odor coming from the dragon’s mouth, she closed her eyes, not knowing that in the brink of life and death, she felt herself being lifted lightly, then fell into a warm embrace.

Opening her eyes, she only saw a face of extraordinary handsomeness, and a pair of starry eyes that instantly calmed her previously terrified heart.

The Flying Dragons, seeing their prey snatched away, were uncontrollably furious, all diving in with flapping wings.

"You reckless kid, even now you dare to play the hero. Surrounded by a flock of Flying Dragons, let’s see how you’ll end this," Zhan Tian cursed while leaping forward.

Just then, it was like Zhan Tian was instantly petrified.

Atop the Green Dragon, the young man stood tall and dignified with an exceedingly cold face, and around "him," a formidable presence began to vaguely emanate.
