Chapter 290 Su Lingyue’s Growth
Roar!!
The sonorous dragon’s roar overwhelmed the audience!
At this moment, even the people who were watching battles on other stages felt frightened by this dragon’s roar they had never heard of. From the dragon’s roar, people sensed a primitive force of tremendous vigor!
Luo Fengtian had been resting with his eyes ever since he returned from his battle. He opened his eyes in disbelief upon hearing the roar. Following the source of the roar, he saw that a huge dragon with golden and silver scales was standing on one of the stages, and the dragon was roaring into the sky!
What was that roar about?
Luo Fengtian wondered. He had the Black Pit Dragon and he had encountered other dragons as well when he fought during exchange matches with other academies. Still, not once did he ever hear any dragon’s roar that could be soul-shattering. Even while being in the seating area, Luo Fengtian could feel the fear that the dragon instilled in everyone!
“What kind of dragon is that?” Luo Fengtian asked in a low voice.
The girl with the ponytail was still in shock. She never knew that she could see another dragon here, and one that was intimidating to such a degree!
This dragon seemed to be several times more overpowering than Luo Fengtian’s Black Pit Dragon. There was no comparison between them!
The towering dragon overlooked the entire venue and it became the center of attention. One dragon had utterly changed the atmosphere in the entire venue!
“That is your sister’s…”
Fei Yanbo was filled with amazement. This dragon was somewhat similar to a Moonfrost Dragon he had seen before, but there was something different about this one. Besides, among all the dragons, the Moonfrost Dragon should have been weaker than the Black Pit Dragon.
However, this Moonfrost Dragon, if it indeed were a Moonfrost Dragon, was almost as large as Luo Fengtian’s Black Pit Dragon and was more threatening. The appearance of the dragon had terrified Fei Fei. It was as if he were the one facing the dragon directly.
Back to the stage.
As the Moonfrost Dragon roared, the flickering Supersonic Wasp immediately showed its true self. As if greatly wounded, the Supersonic Wasp fell to the ground with its wings and legs trembling. The dragon’s roar had impacted the Supersonic Wasp immensely! The young man had to raise his head to look at this dragon, since it was as tall as a building. He could not stop his legs from shaking. He had spent years in the barren area and he had forged a mind of steel. And yet, because of fear, he had lost control of his
body.
The other young man that was planning on sneaking up to Su Ping was stunned still on the spot with his pet by the sudden dragon’s roar.
Coldness was filling up the Moonfrost Dragon’s silver eyes. It bent its neck and breathed out a large piece of ice. That was the Moonfrost Dragon’s innate skill, Ice Blockage.
It was said that an adult Moonfrost Dragon could freeze soil across a thousand miles with one breath of ice.
The Moonfrost Dragon’s icy breath froze up the entire stage and its surrounding area. Even the working staff and the First Aid workers outside had felt the sudden drop in temperature. When they breathed out, white fog emerged from their mouths, and then it turned into ice crystals.
“No!”
“Run!”
The two opponents on the stage finally put themselves together after their initial shock. In a hurry, they began to run away to get off the stage.
The one who had failed to make his sneak attack was a bit further away from her. He managed to get off the stage by jumping out. It was a narrow escape.
On the other hand, the one that had the Supersonic Wasp did not come back to his senses in time. He had barely taken a few steps when a large piece of ice reached him and froze him together with the Supersonic Wasp on the ground.
Bang!
The ice cracked all of a sudden!
The young man frozen inside the ice shattered into pieces and the Supersonic Wasp turned into a pile of dust.
The Moonfrost Dragon raised its head a bit and looked around. It could see over a hundred thousand people in the venue but none of them was from its kind. Fear was not something that could be found in the Moonfrost Dragon’s eyes. It glanced over the crowd indifferently as if they were nothing but some puny insects and food.
The killing intent receded in Su Lingyue’s eyes as the young man’s life had reached an end. She looked at the Moonfrost Dragon and patted its scales to express her gratefulness.
The Moonfrost Dragon turned to her. The ice in its eyes thawed, turning into serenity and kindness.
Su Lingyue didn’t let the Moonfrost Dragon stay outside for a long time. She called it back at once. At the moment, she was the only one standing on the stage. She had clearly won.
Off the stage.
The audience became silent.
For a long time, everyone just had their eyes fixed on the stage without making any sound. They were still in shock from seeing that dragon with the strange scales.
The dragon’s roar was still lingering in their ears. Not even the explorers could have handled that dragon’s roar easily, not to mention the fact that most of the audience were men in the street. They still felt that a monster had directly roared at them.
The appearance of the Moonfrost Dragon impacted the battles on the other stages as well. Some of the other participants even stopped their matches to watch.
After the moment of silence, gradually, someone began to applaud.
The judge eventually knew what he had to do. He announced the result.
Su Lingyue won!
Killing on the stage was not encouraged but all the participants had signed a contract. “Accidental deaths” were accepted.
After all, this was a base city. Outside, monsters abound and aliens were eyeing the city with greedy eyes! The Elite League had been set up to select elites among the human battle pet warriors. Those elites would go to a battlefield in the future to protect their peers and their hometowns!
What kind of elites would they be if they had never seen blood or had no courage to face death?
This was not an exchange between the academies with friendly matches. This was a fight between life and death!
Su Lingyue was surprised that people were cheering for her.
All of a sudden, she understood what Su Ping said to her.
When you’re powerful enough, you could have anything
Be it glory, reputation, power, and wealth. Everything would be within easy reach.
Using your fist to crush everything getting in your way beats explaining humbly!
Su Lingyue took a deep breath. She was more determined to become stronger. She appeared to be able to see a path towards strength which had been paved under her feet. She had no idea where it would lead her and what it would be like and what she would see along the way.
Nevertheless, she believed that she would crush all the setbacks on the way!
She came off the stage and went back to her seat. Su Lingyue could tell that many people were looking at her. After she reached her seat, some participants nearby nodded to her as in greeting
She was being treated like a powerful warrior.
Before this match, all that waited for her was ridicule and contempt.
The match didn’t last long. Before knowing, Su Lingyue’s mentality had changed. She had grown up in an instant.
“Your dragon is awesome.”
When she walked past the students of the Berserking Blade Academy, Luo Fengtian, who had always been the cool and detached person, stood up and said to Su Lingyue solemnly, “I hope we can exchange some experiences when time allows.”
Su Lingyue nodded to him. Before this match, she knew that Luo Fengtian was not someone that would straight off talk to her. Back at the exchange match at the academy, Luo Fengtian had been quite conceited and he had stomped his feet on Ye Hao to force the latter to accept defeat.
At that time, Luo Fengtian would nod to her but it would just be because she was with Su Ping.
However, from that moment on, Luo Fengtian talked to her as his peer.
Su Lingyue fully understood that this was because of her strength, and her strength… came with the Moonfrost Dragon that Su Ping had trained and given to her.
Once that thought emerged, she looked at the audience and saw him smiling at her.
She returned a gentle smile of her own.
“Glad to meet you. You’re Su Lingyue, right? I am Yu Weihan.” The ponytail girl stood up and extended her hand to Su Lingyue. She admired Su Lingyue and was also eager to compete with her.
Su Lingyue nodded in assent.
The other students stood up and congratulated Su Lingyue as well. One of them was a bit stressed out. Back at the academy exchange, he had won against Su Lingyue with ease. But if they were to have a rematch, he knew that he would have no way to handle that dreadful dragon.
It was not a good feeling, to see that his former defeated opponent could best him after such a short time.
Su Lingyue finished exchanging a bit of small talk with them and sat back on her seat.
