“Let’s make a wager. I’ll stroll in there proper now, and the individuals on the bronze and wooden gate gained’t cease me. If I handle to get in, you’ll give me this basket of peaches,” Zhu Minglang mentioned, feeling provoked, to the peach-selling lady.

“Alright, however what if I win?” the peach-selling lady mentioned with a smile, her darkish rye complexion and vivid eyes making a hanging distinction.

“In the event you win, I’ll purchase all of your peaches.”

“Judging by your garments, it doesn’t seem like you may afford it,” the peach-selling lady mentioned.

“Thoughts your individual enterprise!”

When others enroll in class, to not say they have to costume dazzlingly, however at the least they need to match the descriptions of dignified and neat. Zhu Minglang, having escorted flowers alongside the way in which to the Ancestral Dragon Metropolis-State, after which having trekked to the Dragon Taming Academy, didn’t even get an opportunity to wash, making his coarse garments make him look considerably unkempt.

Zhu Minglang didn’t need it to be like this both. Earlier than, regardless of being poor, there have been no main points together with his look, and he would solely be mistaken for a beggar if he encountered bandits or fell into misfortune…

Stepping onto the White Rock Bridge, the road distributors progressively decreased, and as he approached the bronze and wooden gate, the environment confirmed the serene and tidy air of a sublime place.

“I’m right here to enroll; that is my letter of admission,” Zhu Minglang mentioned as he handed over his admission discover, nonetheless fairly well mannered.

“How did you find yourself like this?” the gatekeeping uncle requested.

“I went out to apply, and on the way in which, I encountered bandits; I fought to the demise to guard this letter,” Zhu Minglang defined casually.

“Mm, go forward and get your college emblem, after which wait a second to the aspect,” the gatekeeping uncle nodded and signaled for somebody behind to take Zhu Minglang inside.

Zhu Minglang pocketed the admission discover and intentionally seemed again within the course of the bridgehead the place the darkish rye-skinned lady was promoting peaches, able to flash her an evil grin.

Nonetheless, the peach-selling lady gave the impression to be discussing costs with a plump lady, gesticulating passionately within the warmth of haggling.

She had fully forgotten in regards to the wager that they had simply made!

The chilly wind over the lake made a sure determine appear all of the extra lonely.

In the long run, Zhu Minglang may solely sigh and stroll towards the principle gate.

Psst, it feels even worse than dropping!

As soon as he handed the gate, the bridge was nowhere to be seen. It turned out that the White Rock Bridge was only a damaged bridge; past the gate was a crescent-shaped platform that lightly stretched beneath the clear lake water.

And within the lake water, a wide-backed long-necked dragon was ready on the fringe of the platform. It was as huge as a solo room, and its neck was lengthy sufficient to stretch from underwater to the bridge’s entrance.

The long-necked dragon’s pores and skin was tight and easy. Regardless of its dimension, it gave off a docile and tranquil feeling, and being near it didn’t really feel pressuring. It definitely didn’t appear to be the identical species in comparison with Luo Xiao’s Gold-plated Hearth Dragon.

“As soon as now we have sufficient individuals, we will set off,” the gatekeeping uncle quickly led 4 extra individuals over.

5 individuals had been already on the again of the long-necked dragon. With Zhu Minglang and the 4 newcomers, that made ten.

Ten individuals on one dragon-boat crossing the lake.

“Li Shaoying, you’re the hope of our complete village; you could turn out to be a Dragon Shepherd in any respect prices,” a middle-aged man shouted from the platform, seeing off the scholars.

Li Shaoying’s face flushed with embarrassment, particularly since there have been so many college students round.

“It’s tremendous when you don’t make it too. Simply come again to the village early, somebody has to take the cows and sheep to the pasture. In the event that they don’t eat nicely, they gained’t develop fats; in the event that they’re not fats, they gained’t produce milk. With out milk, these little lambs and calves gained’t survive the winter,” the herding uncle continued to shout loudly.

Laughter echoed round, particularly from a number of feminine college students who had been about to experience the long-necked dragon throughout the lake, their arms protecting their mouths, unable to include their giggles.

The younger man referred to as Li Shaoying now simply needed to dive into the lake. He impatiently dismissed his herding uncle, “I do know, I do know, Uncle Hua, please return now.”

“Keep in mind to share the bag of smoked venison together with your classmates. You’re in an odd place; it’s a must to know find out how to foster good relationships with these round you, classmates and academics alike, so that you just’re much less more likely to get bullied.”

“Uncle, please return, I’m begging you.”

“Ah, I forgot to provide the medicinal wine, right here take this, simply rub it in your wounds, and they’ll heal quick.”

Lastly, the nice and cozy and caring herding uncle was persuaded to depart.

If he hadn’t left, the brand new pupil referred to as Li Shaoying may need actually thought-about suicide by lake.

“You three are fairly late for enrollment. By the point you get to the Reserve Dragons Storage Corridor, you’ll in all probability solely be capable of choose from the younger dragons left over by others. Even when the journey is lengthy, you need to have set out earlier,” the gatekeeping uncle mentioned to Li Shaoying, Zhu Minglang, and one other aloof younger grasp.

“Are you additionally simply enrolling?” Li Shaoying requested in shock, sizing up Zhu Minglang and the aloof younger grasp.

The aloof younger grasp didn’t even trouble to reply, clearly displaying little interest in making dialog with a Dragon Taming pupil like Li Shaoying, who got here from some unknown backwater village.

Li Shaoying tried to provoke a dialog, however the different man ignored him, leaving Li Shaoying feeling somewhat awkward.

The lake breeze was refreshing, and the long-necked dragon slowly carried ten individuals, inching nearer to the central isle within the lake, heading in the direction of the corridor that numerous individuals dreamed of — the Dragon Taming Academy.

…

On the head of the bridge, after having bought a number of kilograms of ripe peaches, a lady all of the sudden remembered one thing and turned to have a look at the firmly closed paulownia wooden gates.

Her cheeks rapidly stuffed with a glance of shock.

“Thrown into the lake?”

“Such a pity.” the lady muttered to herself.

…

Reserve Dragons Storage Corridor

Each pupil who enters the academy, no matter whether or not they already personal a Juvenile Spirit, will get a possibility to decide on a dragon.

Regardless of individuals’s reverence for the artwork of dragon recognizing methods, deciding on a dragon from among the many tens of hundreds of unremarkable Juvenile Spirits is like discovering a needle in a haystack, and infrequently akin to inserting a wager!

Zhu Minglang, Li Shaoying, and the aloof younger grasp had been taken to the Reserve Dragons Storage Corridor, the place the Juvenile Spirits and Spirit eggs had been as plentiful as pebbles in a river, overwhelming the onlookers.

“Select, and upon getting made your selection, go register with the outdated grasp contained in the corridor, make the mark, and the Juvenile Spirit might be yours,” mentioned the dutiful gatekeeper uncle, who had escorted all of them the way in which and left solely after giving clear directions.

Li Shaoying, considerably excited, rapidly walked into the Younger Spirit Nest, eyeing a bunch of blue Chicken Spirits nonetheless of their swaddling garments, as if recognizing their species.

Zhu Minglang additionally adopted the laid out path, observing leisurely.

There have been so many sorts, Chicken Spirits, River Spirits, Beast Spirits, Historic Spirits, Poison Demons, Stone Demons, in addition to a sizeable variety of Sub-Dragons, Pretend Dragons, and Hybrid Dragon Cubs that evidently carried the blood of the Dragon Clan. With out having really reworked into dragons, they already displayed the spectacular stature and extraordinary traits of dragons!

“Heh, you two are taking this fairly severely. Don’t you realize something in regards to the Dragon Taming Academy earlier than getting into? Amongst these hundreds of Juvenile Spirits, there won’t even be one True Dragon. Supplying you with the prospect to decide on right here is merely offering a sliver of hope to you as trainees of the academy,” mentioned the aloof younger grasp at that second.

Zhu Minglang and Li Shaoying each checked out him concurrently.

So, he isn’t mute in spite of everything.

Zhu Minglang nodded inwardly and requested, “We actually don’t know a lot, may you inform us?”

“Simply seize one at random and cease dawdling. As a substitute of losing time selecting trash right here, it’d higher to spend extra effort taming your individual Juvenile Spirit,” the aloof younger man mentioned.

Li Shaoying gave a sheepish smile.

Certainly, the Juvenile Spirits given free of charge by the academy couldn’t be too nice; in any other case, everybody who entered the Dragon Taming Academy could be a Dragon Coach, and there wouldn’t be so many individuals lingering on the Dragon Gate.

In the long run, Li Shaoying selected essentially the most seemingly aggressive and fierce amongst these few Chicken Spirits, not treating it with a lot significance as he picked it up.

Zhu Minglang scratched his head.

His state of affairs was barely awkward.

Those that made it into the Dragon Taming Academy largely already had a Juvenile Spirit with respectable potential, and a few had been only a leap away from transformation.

Li Shaoying clearly had his personal Juvenile Spirit, and even the aloof younger grasp seemed as if he already possessed a Younger Dragon.

Bai Qi was nonetheless asleep within the Ice Pupa, so Zhu Minglang had nothing at this second, merely squeezed in as a last-minute addition.

It appeared that his entry-level Juvenile Spirit must depend on the academy’s charity in spite of everything.

Nonetheless, this was Zhu Minglang’s begin. Zhu Minglang didn’t trouble listening to the aloof younger grasp’s smug elaboration; he continued to pick out earnestly.

Distinguishing dragons is like appraising treasures…

It requires excessive discernment, and a little bit of luck as nicely.

Sadly, Zhu Minglang possessed neither.

Blind and unfortunate.

However a way of formality was nonetheless crucial, and his perspective needed to be critical.

“Are you able to hurry up!” the aloof younger grasp mentioned extra forcefully.

Zhu Minglang pretended to not hear, meticulously observing the little spirits round him. Some had been nonetheless in Spirit eggs, some had simply hatched, and others had already grown feathers and tooth, starting to point out a touch of damaging energy in the direction of the handcrafted nests…
