A dragon's roar? Could it be that there really is an ancient dragon living in this hall? "
Sun Mo recalled the experience of the Dragon Subduing Academy's founder. He had obtained a wooden sculpture and comprehended the Great Desolate Dragon Subduing Scripture.
"I don't know."
Duanmu Li shook his head. Other than the top management of the academy, no one else would know about this secret.
"Ziyu, your body?"
Sun Mo wanted to go in and take a look, but he was worried that Mei Ziyu's body wouldn't be able to endure it.
"I can still endure a few dragon roars."
Mei Ziyu indicated for Sun Mo not to worry.
The corridor was sealed and slanted downwards. From the looks of it, the Dragon Subduing Hall should be located underground.
"So beautiful!"
Sun Mo sighed in admiration.
In addition to the two sides of the walls, the floor and the ceiling were also carved with all kinds of dragon patterns, and they must have been carved by a master, because they were too lifelike.
The eyes of these giant dragons were all fist-sized luminous pearls, so even though they were underground, the light wasn't dim.
After walking for nearly a hundred meters, the three of them appeared in front of a huge blue light screen.
"Be careful."
Duanmu Li reminded as he passed through the screen of light.
Sun Mo followed closely behind. At the instant he passed through the light screen, an immense pressure gushed toward him. That feeling was like a huge rock weighing 10,000 kilograms was pressing down on his chest, causing him to feel a little breathless.
Sun Mo hurriedly turned his head. "Zi Yu!"
Seeing Sun Mo's concerned gaze, Mei Ziyu felt warmth in her heart. "I'm fine."
This Dragon Roar Hall was half the size of a football field. It was octagonal in shape and had an extremely high dome. Eighteen stone statues of flying dragons hung from it.
Here, there were students and teachers, all of them sitting cross-legged.
No one gossiped. They were all conserving their energy and waiting for the next wave of dragon roars.
Three minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
When the students tensed up, Sun Mo was also on full alert.
In the next second, a dragon roared.
Boom!
It was as if a huge bolt of lightning had suddenly struck down from the clear sky, as if it wanted to shatter the entire sky. A tsunami-like aura swept across the hall, as if it wanted to crush everything here into powder.
Ah!
Some students screamed miserably and fell to the ground while holding their heads. There were also some who rolled around in pain.
Sun Mo noticed that their skin and flesh had split open and fresh blood flowed out.
"As expected, it's a double blow to the mind and body."
Mei Ziyu's countenance was a little pale. Because she had been sick for many years, her physique was extremely weak. If not, she would be able to endure this dragon roar unscathed.
"Are you okay?"
Duanmu Li had been surveying Sun Mo. When he saw that Sun Mo didn't show any abnormalities after the dragon roar, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Even major characters at the Longevity Realm would feel dizzy for a short period of time when they entered for the first time.
"My head hurts. I'll endure it!"
Sun Mo didn't wish to show off, hence, he told a white lie. In truth, he didn't feel anything at all.
After being infused with the ancient Battle God's will, Sun Mo's will had been tempered to be incomparably strong. To others, a dragon's roar would be able to shatter their minds. But to Sun Mo, it was like the mad barking of a wild dog. Although it was scary, it wasn't to the extent of being scared to death.
Three minutes later, another dragon roar sounded.
This time around, even more people fell to the ground. However, Sun Mo noticed that although they felt uncomfortable, they were all struggling to climb out.
"If they do it again, they will die. Hence, after they reach the limits of what they can endure, they will leave."
Duanmu Li explained, "Oh right, there's a rule in the Dragon Subduing Hall. Once you accept the help of others, you will be forbidden from entering forever."
"Why?"
Mei Ziyu didn't understand. She saw a few students who overestimated their strength and were now heavily injured. When they crawled on the ground, they dragged out long trails of blood.
"It's to let students learn how to restrain their greed, to judge the situation, and to know when to stop..."
Duanmu Li looked at those few students but didn't go over to help. "The path is chosen by oneself. Even if it is filled with thorns, you have to step on it!"
Sun Mo fell silent. Were those few students who were crawling afraid?
That was for sure.
There was unease and terror on their faces, but there was even more determination. They didn't call for help. All of them gritted their teeth and crawled toward the light screen with all their might.
Some of the injured students had planned to leave when they saw this scene. But after hesitating for a while, they decided to stay.
They wanted to challenge their own limits.
Roar!
The third dragon roar rang out.
In the great hall, it was another chaotic scene. After that, some students started to leave.
Sun Mo looked at a young man who wanted to leave and reminded him, "You can endure two more dragon roars."
Hearing this, the young man turned his head in astonishment.
"What nonsense are you talking about? If he continues to stay here, he will die. "
The young girl who was supporting the young man immediately glared at Sun Mo.
She wouldn't let her childhood sweetheart take the risk.
Sun Mo shrugged.
"Qiu Li, don't be so rude."
The young man persuaded and then apologized to Sun Mo. "Teacher, please forgive me."
After the two of them spoke, they left.
Even that polite young man didn't listen to Sun Mo's words. Because after so many years, everyone had concluded the rules. They knew that they should leave when their injuries had reached a certain degree.
"Sigh, such a great opportunity to improve has appeared before their eyes, but they don't know how to cherish it. So, people who are unlucky won't even be able to pick up benefits."
Mei Ziyu sighed ruefully.
Sun Mo had God Hands. If he was in the Central Province Academy, the students who received guidance from him would be happy for half a month.
"His injuries should be very serious, right?"
Duanmu Li didn't understand. Just from the injuries on his body, the young man had already reached his limits.
"That young man's body is very strong. If he withstood two more dragon roars, he would be able to receive the greatest tempering. Otherwise, it would just be a small fight."
Sun Mo explained.
The process of human training was to let the muscles get damaged and then repair them. Because after the repair, the muscles would be stronger.
Simply speaking, the amount of training the young man had was insufficient.
"Ziyu, if you have nothing to do, just come here and stay. These dragon roars are very helpful to your body."
Although Sun Mo had only experienced three dragon roars, because he had grasped the ancient massage technique, he had a very good understanding of his own body. Hence, he discovered that the sound waves from the dragon roars could stimulate the cells and increase their vitality and toughness.
To put it simply, other than strengthening the body, staying here for a long period of time would also increase one's lifespan.
Because in a person's life, the cells would constantly divide and regenerate. When the cells died, they would no longer divide. That meant that the person would die as well.
And when the lifespan of the cells was extended, it also meant that the lifespan of the person would be extended.
Mei Ziyu shook her head. She knew that Sun Mo was doing this for her own good, but she only wanted to accompany Sun Mo. If not, what fun was there in living for a few more days?
The three of them found a remote location and sat down.
They continued to endure the baptism of the dragon roars.
...
"Qiu Li, what did Teacher Sun say to you guys?"
Someone asked.
"He wants Meng Gang to endure two more dragon roars. He's really giving random pointers. Look at Meng Gang. If he were to receive another one, he would probably be bedridden for half a month."
Qiu Li spoke in disdain. The intern teachers nowadays were getting more and more unreliable.
"I feel that you should listen to his suggestion. That person is Teacher Sun."
Qiu Li's good friend reminded her out of goodwill.
"Teacher Sun? Sun Mo? The one who beat up the little prince? "
Meng Gang started and subconsciously turned his head. After that, he hesitated a little. "Why don't I try again?"
Qiu Li also hesitated a little. After all, last night, they had discussed this teacher for the entire night. The conclusion they got was that he was quite skilled in teaching.
"Let's wait a little more. Don't joke around with your life."
Qiu Li persuaded, "His teaching capabilities might be very strong, but he hasn't displayed his ability in guiding cultivation before."
Qiu Li didn't want her childhood sweetheart to be a lab rat. Moreover, what if he got too deeply involved with Sun Mo and was targeted by the little prince?
"Even if his guiding capabilities are very strong, can he let Meng Gang have a qualitative leap?"
Qiu Li had already decided not to come into contact with Sun Mo.
...
After another five dragon roars rang out, Sun Mo discovered that the majority of the students had started to leave in a hurry. As for the teachers, they all revealed heavy expressions.
Without waiting for Sun Mo to ask, Duanmu Li had already explained in an understanding manner.
"When the dragon roars are released on the dot, the prowess will be amplified by ten times. Ordinary students wouldn't be able to withstand it and would directly die."
Indeed, when the dragon roars were released on the dot, even the way they were released was different.
An ancient dragon that was over ten meters long suddenly flew out from the ceiling and shot toward the ground. After that, it roared.
Roar!
The sound waves surged, causing dust to fly up.
After that, the dragon slammed into the ground with a bang and disappeared. However, the sound waves continued and lasted for a full minute.
Sun Mo hurriedly rushed to Mei Ziyu's side and gave her a massage.
"Good stuff, as expected of the ultimate treasure of the Dragon Subduing Academy. It'd be good if we could bring it back to the Central Province Academy."
Sun Mo was envious.
"If you guys can still hold on, let's head to the next Dragonman Great Hall."
Duanmu Li suggested.
"Alright!"
They had already spent the entrance fee. Wouldn't it be a great loss if they didn't take a look?
"The Dragonman Great Hall, as its name suggests, will summon many dragonmen. Students can fight against them. After defeating 18 dragonmen at the same time, they'll be able to head to the next great hall."
As Duanmu Li introduced, everyone passed through a corridor that was over ten meters long and then entered a great hall that emitted a red glow.
This place was like a beehive, separated into 18 octagonal regions. In each region, the number of dragonmen was different.
"Interesting!"
Sun Mo saw those dragonmen. They were about two meters tall and had strong physiques. Their bodies were covered in tough scales and they also had a tail that was over one meter long. Their claws were as sharp as blades and could break through heavy armor. On their necks, they had lizard-like heads.
"Let me give it a try!"
Sun Mo was excited to see the prey. When he saw a student crawling out from one of the regions, he immediately jumped down. "Teacher Duanmu, how do we make the dragonmen appear?"
"Use fresh blood."
However, before Sun Mo could cut his finger, a barbarian youth jumped in and berated in an irritated tone.
"Oi, Central Plains guy, scram out of here. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."
