It wasn't that Murong Ye looked down on Sun Mo. It was just that everyone who passed the test and entered the Giant Dragon Hall would end up empty-handed.
Because they didn't understand the dragon language.
Just like what Sun Mo had guessed, the Dragon Subduing Great Hall was constructed using the wooden puppet that the founder had picked up by luck as the core.
The true wealth of this hall wasn't to defeat the Dragonmen, but to obtain the right to communicate with the giant dragons after passing the trial.
If they were recognized by the Giant Dragon, they would be imparted with some precious knowledge.
Most of them were Beast Taming.
After all, dragons were the rulers of the world and enslaved all life.
However, the rarest and most desired 'reward' was the Great Desolate Dragon Subduing Scripture. However, even though the Dragon Subduing Academy had been established for so many years, there were less than ten people who had obtained this divine art.
Of course, the prerequisite for reaching this step was to understand the Dragon Language. Otherwise, it would be like talking like a chicken to a duck.
After a student or a great teacher passed the test, the headmaster would observe them for a period of three years. If they proved their loyalty to the school, the headmaster would impart them the Dragon Language.
"Teacher Sun broke the record."
Beardy added.
"What?"
Murong Ye was stunned. His hand, which was about to close the window, froze on the spot, "What record did you break?"
"Fastest clear record!"
After the bearded man finished speaking, Murong Ye's face was filled with shock as he sucked in a cold breath.
"Are you sure?"
It wasn't that Murong Ye didn't want to believe it, but the truth was too shocking.
As one of the top three schools among the Nine Greats, the Dragon Subduing Academy would recruit many geniuses every year. It could be said that the elites of the plains were all here.
But did they break the record?
No!
The previous record holder was held by the current headmaster at the age of 30. It had been more than 200 years since then.
But now, an outsider had broken the record. This meant that even in the Dragon Subduing Academy, Sun Mo was a genius that only appeared once in a hundred years.
"Teacher Sun's bust has been carved on the Giant Dragon Rampart."
Big Beard sighed with emotion and felt a little indignant. He felt that he was inferior to the people of the Central Plains.
"…"
Murong Ye wanted to curse.
Because with a portrait, it was a solid piece of evidence.
"Speaking of which, I remember that Sun Mo is only 21?"
Murong Ye thought of another problem.
"Twenty-two years old, right? Anyway, he's too young. "
Big Beard sighed. Not to mention 22 years old, even if he broke the record at 30 years old, it would still be something worth writing about.
If it were him, he would brag about it for the rest of his life.
"Vice-headmaster, we can't drag this on any longer. Hurry up and headhunt him. If a genius like this were to remain, the Dragon Subduing Academy would be extremely competitive in the next 100 years."
Beardy had the bearing of a great teacher. He didn't hate Sun Mo because he was from the Central Plains. On the contrary, he even wanted to recruit Sun Mo.
"I understand."
Murong Ye's expression turned grave, and he felt some lingering fear. Luckily, I did not look for him in advance. Otherwise, the price I offered would have definitely offended him.
But then, he started to have a headache.
A great teacher who broke the current headmaster's record of being the fastest to pass the test, and he's still so young. This means that he has boundless potential. I don't even know what price I should pay for him.
"Oh right, Sun Mo is wearing a mask, right? Which face does the bust have? You didn't expose yourself, did you? "
Murong Ye suddenly thought of something.
"It's the one wearing the mask."
Big Beardy had seen it with his own eyes. At that time, he only felt one thing: envy.
Things like records would definitely get harder and harder to break. Therefore, Sun Mo's bust might have to hang on the Giant Dragon Rampart for a few hundred years.
During this period of time, all the Dragon Subduing Academy's teachers and students would see 'Sun Mo' as soon as they came in. It was a great honor to know this name.
...
In the Dragonman Great Hall, Xiao Di looked at the bust on the wall and suddenly started hammering his head in frustration.
"Brother Xiao, what are you doing? Even if you're angry, don't hurt yourself! "
His companions jumped in fright.
"I'm not angry. I just hate it. Why didn't I come to the Dragon Subduing Great Hall today?"
Xiao Di felt depressed.
He was actually a very hardworking person, but it was necessary to strike a balance between work and rest. Therefore, he would give himself a day off every month to sleep in.
Who knew that he would miss it?
(How many sins did I commit in my previous life? Could it be that I slept with a goat?) (Otherwise, why would the heavenly deities treat me like this?)
Xiao Di felt so regretful that he wanted to cry.
This was a record-breaking battle. It was something that wouldn't happen even once in 100 years.
At the thought of this, Xiao Di lifted his hand and slapped himself a few times.
"Brother Xiao, if you're really unhappy, you can look for Sun Mo for another fight."
After Jin Yan spoke, he was glared at by Xiao Di.
"Do you like my girlfriend? Do you want me to die? "
Xiao Di's gaze was solemn.
"Brother Xiao, why do you say this?"
Jin Yan had a look of grief and indignation on his face, as though he had been humiliated. However, his heart was pounding.
(It can't be, right?)
(Has the matter of me liking sister-in-law been exposed?)
"After I fought with Teacher Sun, I initially thought that even if I wasn't comparable to him, I wouldn't be too far off. But now, I know that he definitely has the strength to crush me. Back then, we were evenly matched because he wanted to use me to accumulate experience."
Xiao Di rolled his eyes. "Even if I'm out of my mind, I won't go and fight again!"
His companions really wanted to ask, (Do you have any self-awareness?)
(Even evenly matched?)
(You really know how to put gold on your face.)
(Sun Mo most probably fought with you because he was interested in your Great Sun Evil Destruction and wanted to experience it. If not, he would have defeated you instantly.)
"You guys remember this. The next time you see Sun Mo fighting a dragonman, you must remember to inform me!"
Xiao Di instructed.
"No problem."
Everyone agreed loudly. But if they really saw Sun Mo fighting a dragonman, who would be willing to leave? It would be a fortune to watch a battle between such people.
"Brother Xiao, isn't there still the Dragonman Limitless Challenge Mode? We can get Sun Mo to give it a try! "
Ba Tubu suggested.
Xiao Di's eyes lit up. This was a good idea.
...
In the morning, the sun was shining brightly.
The sound of the bugle horn had rung out for a long time, but Sun Mo still hadn't come.
The students gradually lost their patience.
"What's going on? Where did Teacher Sun go? "
"Is he sick?"
"Even if he's sick, he should inform us in advance. Why is he so silent? Could something have happened to him?"
The students discussed. In the end, their target was Wanyan Zhenghe.
"This guy is too impudent just because he's the little prince of Jin Country. I'm going to complain to uncle. Teacher Sun is such an amazing spirit rune master. If he were to be chased away, it'd definitely be a great loss to our Dragon Subduing Academy."
A senior student was filled with righteous indignation. He was the son of the king of the northern campus and had an esteemed status.
Bang!
Wan Yanmei slapped the table. She also felt that her brother was causing trouble, so she got up and left with a sullen face. She was ready to find trouble with him, but just as she reached the door, she bumped into a boy.
"Teacher Sun broke the record and is now in the Giant Dragon Great Hall. He definitely won't be coming back for lessons."
The boy broke the news.
"What record?"
Someone asked.
"Thirty-six Kills at the fastest speed. Teacher Sun's portrait is already carved on the Giant Dragon Rampart. There's no mistake about it."
As soon as the boy finished speaking, the entire lecture hall fell silent. Everyone had a look of disbelief on their faces.
To the children on the plains, the Dragon Subduing Grand Hall was a sacred ground. Before they even enrolled in school, they had already heard of the stories there.
Riding on a giant dragon, traversing the vast sky and dominating the Nine Provinces was the dream of every youth. Hence, they knew how impressive Sun Mo was for breaking the record.
At the very least, he was the first person in the Dragon Subduing Hundred Years.
"Is it fake news?"
Someone doubted. "Teacher Sun's study of spirit runes is so amazing, and his botany isn't weak either. He would definitely need to spend a lot of time to study and research. How could he still have the time to cultivate?"
"That's right. There are many hardworking geniuses in the school. They only sleep for a few hours every day and spend the rest of their time cultivating. I've never seen any of them break the record."
"Won't we know after we go and take a look?"
Just as the students got up and were preparing to head to the Dragon Subduing Grand Hall, Beardy entered the lecture hall.
"Teacher Sun's body isn't feeling well today and has applied for two days of leave."
Hearing this, the students were stunned. After that, the great teachers in the lecture hall all gathered over and asked Beardy about the situation.
"Look at Teacher Sun's reputation. Even when he applied for leave, a great teacher helped him do it."
Some great teachers felt envious.
...
Ding!
"Congratulations on breaking the fastest record. Reward: 1x diamond treasure chest."
The system's congratulations also woke Sun Mo up.
"Where am I?"
Sun Mo felt a headache. Gradually, the memories from before he fainted surged into his mind.
"You're awake? Drink some water! "
Mei Ziyu, who was serving at the side, quickly poured a cup of hot water and passed it to Sun Mo.
"I didn't think things through thoroughly this time around."
Sun Mo felt some lingering fear. After fainting, he had completely lost his ability to protect himself. If someone were to assassinate him, he would be at their mercy.
In his heart, Sun Mo felt that if he wasn't a barbarian, he would be treated differently by the huge dragon.
"This time around, you won't be able to run away from being the 3-star first place. Sun Mo, congratulations in advance!"
Mei Ziyu teased.
"Haha, I want the first place, but I want the Great Desolate Dragon Subduing Scripture even more."
Sun Mo teased.
"Huh?"
Mei Ziyu didn't understand. (Even if you transfer schools and acknowledge the Dragon Subduing Headmaster as your godfather, you won't be able to learn it. It's because this ultimate divine art wouldn't be imparted to the direct descendants.)
It could even be said that it wouldn't be imparted to barbarians.
"This matter can't be rushed. Let me think about it a little more."
Sun Mo glanced at the window and couldn't help but be surprised. "Ah, my class..."
"Someone has already helped you apply for two days of leave. Have a good rest!"
Mei Ziyu got up. "What do you want to eat? I'll go buy some for you. "
"I'm fine."
Sun Mo checked his body and didn't see any abnormalities. However, since he had a leave, he would quickly head to the withered peach forest.
When he left, he would let them bloom and win the bet, bringing Murong Mingyue away. Mn, how wonderful.
As these peach trees were all species of darkness, their vitality was extremely strong. Although they were withered, their roots were still intact. As long as the temperature and nutrients were up to par, they would immediately be able to glow with new vitality.
As Sun Mo didn't have time to wait for them to slowly recover, he had to go one step further. He had to use spirit rune lines on the almost withered branches of the peach trees to construct new spirit qi pathways.
As long as there was nourishment from spirit qi, it wouldn't be difficult for them to bloom.
During these two days, Sun Mo stayed in the peach forest and busied himself. At the same time, he had a new idea on how to communicate with the huge dragon and was preparing to give it another try.
