Chapter 6037 The Dragon Race’s Forbidden Arts
Seeing Long Chen and the palace master agree so readily, the Sovereign Lords sneered with contempt.
The Domain Protector frowned slightly. After a pause, he suddenly asked, “Just now, you said that this young friend is a dean?”
“The High Firmament Academy’s youngest branch dean in all of history,” added the palace master.
“The High Firmament Academy still exists?!” the Domain Protector exclaimed, surprised.
He suddenly looked at the sword on the palace master’s back.
“Then is that…?”
The palace master nodded. “Correct.”
The Domain Protector immediately declared, “Hai Mingkong, you will fight Long Chen!”
“No way!” one of the young experts protested. “Hai Mingkong is the weakest of us all! The reputation of the Heaven Dragon Law Domain is not something to be trifled with. Who cares if he’s from some academy or has some fancy title? The Dragon Domain has its own rules. Even if we don’t send out our strongest, we absolutely cannot send our weakest!”
Long Chen was surprised. He hadn’t expected the Domain Protector to actually be trying to give him an easier time. Could it be that the Heaven Dragon Law Domain had some relationship with the High Firmament Academy?
But if that were the case, why didn’t they recognize the High Firmament Divine Sword? Were they simply wary of the High Firmament Academy?
That didn’t make much sense either. The High Firmament Academy had declined so far that even ninth-rate sects dared to bully it. Meanwhile, the Heaven Dragon Law Domain was a terrifying force. Just their current lineup could flatten countless factions.
Would they be wary of a declined High Firmament Academy?
Unable to make sense of it, Long Chen simply gave up trying to figure it out.
He pointed to the words he had written and declared, “I, Long Chen, need no one’s preferential treatment. See this? When I say I’m unrivaled beneath the heavens, I’m not just bragging. The strongest among you should step forward. And if none of you have the guts, then come at me together. Ten against one or not—it makes no difference to me.”
Their expressions darkened. They had never encountered such an arrogant person before.
Xue Tu sneered, “I’m ranked between fourth and fifth amongst us. Fighting you wouldn’t be considered bullying.”
“Only ranked fifth? You’re not qualified to fight me,” Long Chen taunted, waving his hand dismissively. “Send out your number one.”
“You…!” Xue Tu was outraged.
“Don’t get cocky! While Xue Tu’s ranking hovers around fourth or fifth, the gaps between us at this level aren’t that big. Victory and defeat often come down to luck,” snapped an icy woman in violet robes.
She had a red birthmark on her brows and was likely the rank one powerhouse. However, she clearly didn’t deem Long Chen worthy of her time.
“Alright, then I won’t be picky. It can be him. However, if he loses, don’t renege on our deal!” said Long Chen cautiously.
“Hmph, don’t worry, the dragon race’s reputation is more important than our lives. The human race will never be able to match up to us in this regard!” declared Xue Tu.
The battle was decided.
The Domain Protector wanted to say something but ultimately swallowed it back. In the end, he simply said, “Dean Long Chen, your aura clearly isn’t at its peak. Even if we win, it won’t be honorable. Qing Yi, take Dean Long Chen to Heaven Dragon Peak so he can recover. The duel will begin in two hours.”
Qing Yi was startled, but she listened to the Domain Protector’s words and brought Long Chen away.
Long Chen also didn’t dare to take this lightly. The palace master hadn’t said much, but anyone with a brain could see how important this fight was. Otherwise, the palace master wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to bring him here.
Once everyone had dispersed, only the Domain Protector and palace master remained. After a long silence, the Domain Protector finally broke the silence.
“If I remember correctly, during the primal chaos war, all the branch academies—including the head academy’s dean—fought to the death. Even the Battle God Palace was wiped out. I never expected the High Firmament Academy to survive.”
“You’re right. The High Firmament Academy was nearly annihilated in that war. Other than the head academy, the branch academies were all destroyed. However, as long as that person remains in the High Firmament Academy, it will never be destroyed.”
“He… he is still alive?!” the Domain Protector muttered in shock.
“How else do you think I had the courage to bring Long Chen here?” said the palace master.
The Domain Protector remained stunned for a long time. Thinking of Long Chen, he sighed. “In that war, the High Firmament Academy held up half the heavens and bought time for our dragon race. We have not forgotten that debt. If you hadn’t agreed to this duel directly, I would have found a way to let Long Chen pass, repaying what we owe. But now…”
The palace master shook his head. “The High Firmament Academy acted on its own will. We don’t need anyone to feel indebted to us, nor do we require repayment. As for Long Chen, there’s nothing for you to worry about. The title of the youngest dean in the history of the High Firmament Academy isn’t just for show.”
The Domain Protector fell silent, but inwardly, he sighed. Kun Tu’s true strength is far more terrifying than it appears. Sigh… I just hope that girl Qing Yi will be smarter this time.
…
This divine peak rose above the clouds, overlooking the entire Dragon Domain. From here, one could see giant dragon-like mountain ranges. They took the form of nine dragons facing a pearl.
This wasn’t just the place where the dragon race’s karmic luck condensed. It was also where the ten thousand laws converged.
Long Chen couldn’t help but sigh. “This place is a true land of cultivation. A sacred ground of fengshui.”
If Long Chen weren’t constantly busy, he’d want to settle here forever.
“You shouldn’t have agreed to fight Xue Tu. He will kill you.” His silent guide, Qing Yi, finally spoke.
“No, he can’t kill me,” Long Chen replied calmly.
Qing Yi looked at Long Chen with a trace of pity in her beautiful eyes.
“You’re not a bad person. When you faced my subordinates, you were domineering, yes—but you held back. Even when you fought me, you didn’t go all out. If you had, I would have suffered.”
“Yeah, no kidding,” Long Chen replied, looking at her oddly.
Qing Yi blinked, then realized what he meant. She snorted. “My dragon race doesn’t fuss over matters between men and women. What I meant was different from what you were thinking.”
Long Chen realized he’d let his thoughts drift. If he’d known the dragon race didn’t mind such things, he wouldn’t have held back against her at all.
Qing Yi continued, “You are underestimating Xue Tu. His ranking does not represent his true strength, do you understand?”
“I do.” Long Chen nodded.
“You understand nothing,” Qing Yi scoffed. “Our rankings aren’t accurate. Xue Tu cultivates many forbidden arts that aren’t allowed in ranking battles. But once he goes all-out, even Di Mengyao—the number one—might not beat him.”
“So what?” Long Chen said lazily. “I came to challenge your number one anyway.”
“You… you really are hopeless!” Qing Yi was nearly shouting now. “When Xue Tu uses his forbidden arts, he loses control. He won’t even recognize his own father or mother. This isn’t some friendly competition—he will kill you!”
