What Sun Mo was worried about wasn't that the dragon soul would reject becoming his companion.
Given the current situation, Sun Mo didn't have any extravagant hopes of forming a contract with the dragon soul. He only wanted to leave this place alive. It would be even better if he could save a few students.
Of course, it would be great if he could get the Great Desolate Dragon Subduing Scripture.
"The problem now is, how do I escape after agreeing to your request?"
Even if Sun Mo drank an entire cart of Erguotou, he wouldn't dare to dream of escaping under the eyes of two secondary saints.
"Leave this to me. I'll try my best to let the two secondary saints fight amongst themselves. Act according to the situation and toss out the Freedom Proof to remove the contract on me. Then, toss out the Void Proof. Remember, you mustn't forget the Void Proof."
The dragon soul warned.
Sun Mo was suddenly terrified. His luck had never been good in his life. When he drank beer, he had never said 'another bottle' on the lid.
One must know that there would never be a free lunch in the sky. If it did, the person would basically be smashed to death.
Luckily, Sun Mo was a spiritual controller master. Therefore, from the dragon soul's repeated reminders to release the Void Proof, he deduced a possibility.
As a spirit body, the dragon soul needed to parasitize a host before it could leave this place.
This host would be responsible for providing spirit qi to the dragon soul.
"Speaking of which, with my spirit qi, can I afford to nurture an ancient dragon soul?"
Sun Mo pondered and suddenly bit his lips, wanting nothing more than to slap himself.
At this time, he was about to lose his life. Why would he care about this?
The dragon soul also knew that this was a rare opportunity to escape. After pretending to be deep and reserved, it spoke.
"Two secondary saints, your cultivation levels are a little lacking. You aren't qualified to be my companion!"
The dragon soul said in disdain.
"Saints are also secondary saints. To us great teachers, we value a person's potential more than their current situation."
Murong Ye spoke frankly.
"In that case, show your potential!"
The dragon soul spoke.
Murong Ye and Duanmu Li immediately frowned. Given their intelligence, they naturally understood the meaning of the dragon soul's words. It wanted them to fight and determine a victor.
However, the two of them didn't move.
"Why? Are you starting to cherish your lives because you are a secondary saint? "
The dragon soul mocked.
"Is there no other way?"
Duanmu Li asked.
"Only the victors are slightly qualified to be my companions."
The Dragon Soul was arrogant.
However, everyone felt that it was only natural. This was an ancient giant dragon, an existence at the top of the food chain. One must know that the founder back then became a legendary character because he obtained it. In the end, he founded the Dragon Subduing Academy.
"Planet Lord Duanmu, what do you think?"
Murong Ye asked. Actually, he had already expected this to happen, so he was not surprised.
"I have a feeling that this fellow is scheming against us!"
Duanmu Li was a Beast Taming Grandmaster, but the Dragon Soul didn't respond to him at all. This was very abnormal.
Because normally, Beast Tamers would naturally get close to ferocious beasts, and as the dragon soul's companion, he would be able to bring out its combat power even more.
However, this was a dragon soul, a creature that had never been seen before, so it was understandable that such a phenomenon would occur.
"Dragon Soul, you're the guardian of our Dragon Subduing Academy, and I'm the headmaster of the Dragon Subduing Academy. If we join forces, we'll definitely be able to stand at the peak of the nine provinces."
Murong Ye's will seemed to materialize as it blasted into the Dragon Soul's mind.
At the secondary saint realm, even if they were of different races, communication wouldn't be a problem.
He didn't ask the Dragon Soul to kill Duanmu Li. It was because once the Dragon Soul agreed to this suggestion, they would become Duanmu Li's companion, and it would be reasonable for the Dragon Soul to kill Duanmu Li.
"Don't play any tricks. I've said it before, I only respect the victor."
The Dragon Soul mocked.
Murong Ye's expression changed.
It was a little awkward to be exposed in public.
"I don't wish to waste my breath. Five minutes later, if I can't see the result, you guys can scram!"
The Dragon Soul shouted.
Murong Ye's lips twitched. He had miscalculated. His original intention was to use the bond between the Dragon Soul and the Dragon Subduing Academy to make it loyal to him. But by the looks of it now, this wasn't friendship but hatred instead.
"Dragon Subduing? I'm so stupid. Why did I only understand it now? This word doesn't have any meaning of companion at all. It clearly means to enslave and subjugate. "
Murong Ye thought of this and moved at lightning speed, slapping out a palm toward Duanmu Li.
Boom!
Spirit qi exploded, toppling mountains and overturning seas.
The Spirit Qi transformed into steel cavalries that were equipped with armor and weapons as they charged towards Duanmu Li.
Duanmu Li retreated and waved his hand. His sleeves fluttered and spirit qi shot out, turning into thousands of ferocious beasts. They formed a beast tide and pounced toward the steel cavalries.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The two beast tides collided and it was like an earthquake, causing the entire Dragon Subduing Great Hall to tremble.
"Why? The Dragon Soul didn't listen to your suggestion and doesn't plan to kill me? "
Duanmu Li mocked.
How could he not guess Murong Ye's thoughts?
"Hmph, I alone am enough to kill you."
Murong Ye let out a cold snort. Although he said this, he still gave Murong Mingyue a subtle glance.
It was time to make a move.
Duanmu Li's subordinates were originally watching the battle. After all, it was rare for them to see a battle between secondary saints. But suddenly, a small portion of them started to attack the others.
No matter how strong these black-robed men were, they were stunned when they were suddenly ambushed by their companions. Many of them instantly died.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Outside the great hall, deafening explosions could be heard. Then, furious roars and the sounds of battle rapidly approached.
"You stay here to hold the line!"
A Star General rushed out to take charge of the situation. But in less than a minute, his head was carried back by a dragonman.
Jiang Ji's pupils constricted violently.
"What's going on?"
Most of these dragonmen had scales on their skin. The remaining areas were pale and had signs of decay. There was no color in their eyes and they looked as though they were dead. However, their battle prowess was terrifyingly strong.
Their sharp claws danced and black-robed men died.
Regardless of strength, agility, or explosive power, these dragonmen were far superior to the black-robed men. And the most terrifying thing was that even if the black-robed men slashed at their necks with their blades and the blades sank half an inch into their necks, the dragonmen still wouldn't die.
These black-robed men were all Duanmu Li's trusted subordinates. They had followed him to conquer the city and were very strong.
"Haha, Planet Lord Duanmu, what do you think of my Dragon Subduing Army?"
Murong Ye boasted.
When the students cultivated in the Dragon Subduing Palace, they would be exposed to a kind of energy radiation. If they were exposed for a long time, they would gradually transform into dragonmen. If they weren't treated in time, they would die.
Humans who transformed into dragonmen had very strong battle prowess. The previous headmasters couldn't bear to give up on this' battle prowess'. Hence, after hundreds of years, they researched on how to use some subjects to turn these corpses into dragonman war puppets.
Among them, the Puppet Technique was the main one.
As Murong Mingyue's Puppet Technique was very good, she was naturally chosen to join this' dragonman army 'with the headmaster as the leader.
In order to prevent the Puppet Masters from creating dragonman puppets that only listened to their commands, each Puppet Master was only responsible for a portion of the dragonmen transformation.
Of course, because these techniques were very difficult, even if the Puppet Masters were only responsible for a portion, they would be mentally and physically exhausted.
However, Murong Mingyue was an exception. Her talent was too high. In just a year, she had mastered the entire set of puppet transformation techniques.
Then, in another year, while maintaining the puppets, she buried a mechanism in these puppets so that they would only listen to her commands at crucial moments.
The last time Sun Mo met Murong Mingyue in the cold morgue was when she was called to modify the dragonman soldiers.
Honestly speaking, these things sounded like Murong Mingyue was overflowing with talent, but she didn't want to do them.
Murong Mingyue's dream was to create the most perfect support puppets that could make the lives of humans simpler and more relaxing. She didn't want to fiddle with those corpses all day long.
If it wasn't for Murong Ye asking her to continue doing this in the name of the country, she would have resigned long ago.
"Excellent!"
Duanmu Li nodded.
Murong Ye was unhappy. What he hated the most was Duanmu Li's perpetual calm demeanor. It was as though no major event could shock him.
"After killing a Starlord, obtaining the loyalty of the dragon soul and obtaining the Great Desolate Dragon Subduing Scripture, who would dare to stop me from becoming the headmaster?"
Murong Ye's eyes flashed with a gleam of ambition.
"Murong Ye is too scheming."
Jiang Ji had a dispirited look on his face. This time around, he was most probably done for.
"It's said that the barbarians are stubborn and stubborn. But why do I feel that this Murong Ye is extremely sinister and cunning?"
A great teacher from the Central Plains who came to the plains to make a living sighed. (I just want to make a living in peace. Why is it so difficult?)
The group of captives retreated to a corner.
In the eyes of the black-robed men and dragonmen, the other party was the greatest enemy. Therefore, they couldn't care less about killing these captives.
The battle was bloody and intense. There would be people falling at every moment.
"You can't possibly think that you can kill me with these things, right?"
Duanmu Li's lips twitched.
"You have no idea how many dragonman puppets the Dragon Subduing Academy has accumulated over the years. Let me tell you a secret. The Dragon Subduing Academy has been conducting secret experiments all this while. They lock those cultivators in the lowest level of the great hall and force them to accept the dragon soul's energy radiation, turning them into dragonmen."
Murong Ye revealed another big piece of information.
"It's over!"
Jiang Ji wailed. If he heard such a secret, he would definitely be silenced by Murong Ye.
However, Sun Mo felt that this was too normal. If any top-notch famous school wanted to establish a foothold, they would have to have what they were best at and be prepared for danger.
"Duanmu Li, this is my home ground. If you know what's good for you, you'd better surrender obediently. I'll leave your corpse intact. Otherwise, my good niece will turn you into a puppet."
As Murong Ye spoke, he laughed out loud.
(I'll win for sure.)
(As expected, my plans are flawless.)
(What dogsh * t Starlord? What Xiao Fulong? Aren't they still being played by me?)
(After I become the headmaster of the Dragon Subduing Academy, I'll bring this famous school to become the paragon of the Nine Provinces and sweep through all the famous schools in the Central Plains.)
"Isn't it a little too early for you to be happy now?"
Duanmu Li sneered and his hands rapidly formed seals.
Pak pak pak!
Amidst the dazzling hand seals, the bodies of his Four Symbols Battle Pets instantly swelled up by several times. The eagles flew close to the ground and their huge wings were like sharp steel blades, slashing those dragonmen apart.
The python straightened its upper body and swung its head, spurting out purple poisonous fog. As long as one breathed in a little, it would be as if their entire body was brushed by purple dye. Then, their movements would stiffen.
The white tiger roared.
Roar!
Everyone's souls felt as if they were going to shatter.
The last one was the giant tortoise. It was unmoving like a mountain, but mysterious golden runes lit up on its shell. Then, countless streams of golden light splattered out. However, they didn't disappear. Instead, they connected rapidly and weaved into a huge net, enveloping everyone.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Patterns in the shape of a tortoise's shell also appeared on the ground, shooting out golden light.
"Heaven and earth reverse, life is impermanent. Entrust a wish to Bodhi."
Duanmu Li's countenance was solemn and his mouth wrinkled. His right hand slid across his left wrist.
Hua!
A tremendous amount of warm blood splattered out. Before it landed on the ground, it turned into blood rain and tainted everything.
"F... F * ck!"
Jiang Ji cursed and his countenance changed drastically. "This... this is going to sacrifice us!"
Jiang Ji could sense that his fire of life had ignited and was burning at an extremely fast speed, turning into a mysterious power that was channeled into the giant tortoise's body.
The countenances of the other captives also changed, feeling extremely terrified. However, they were helpless. The Four Symbols Life Burning Formation that the secondary saint had meticulously prepared for several tens of years couldn't possibly be broken by these low-level great teachers.
"F * ck, I'm going to die!"
Ever since Sun Mo came to the Middle-Earth Nine Provinces, he could be considered to have experienced a few life-and-death battles. However, none of them were like this. That feeling was as if he had personally witnessed himself turning into a candle that had been splashed with kerosene, burning fiercely and rushing toward death.
"No, I can't just sit here and wait for death!"
Right now, Sun Mo was also trying everything in a desperate situation. He would use whatever methods he had.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Streams of golden spirit qi darted out from Sun Mo's body. They were like fish swimming in a stream, wagging their tails and rapidly gathering above his head.
In the blink of an eye, a golden crown took form.
Its design was very simple. Other than the various Battlegod murals engraved on the surroundings, there was only the shape of a huge sword that was erected vertically on its forehead.
This was the Battlegod Crown.
Pak!
The crown shattered, and the golden motes of light were like fine snow sprinkling down on the ground around Sun Mo. After that, a golden halo appeared.
Buzz!
Golden light shot out in all directions.
Sun Mo's burning life was immediately extinguished.
"This..."
Jiang Ji was dumbfounded.
"Eh?"
Duanmu Li turned his head and glanced at Sun Mo in astonishment. (This is a great teacher halo? But why doesn't a knowledgeable secondary saint like me know about it?)
(Wait a minute!)
Duanmu Li suddenly recalled that other than comprehending the Battlegod Catalog, Sun Mo seemed to have comprehended a brand new great teacher halo in the Battlegod Canyon.
However, at this moment, Duanmu Li didn't have the leisure to bother about Sun Mo. After all, Murong Ye was the greatest enemy.
"Murong Ye, it's too early for you to be complacent."
Duanmu Li mocked, "Your home ground? I'm sorry, I'll have to give you hope. I, Duanmu Li, have no home ground in this life. As long as my feet are standing, it's my home ground. "
This declaration was so loud that even the deaf could hear it, filled with a domineering aura.
The final battle officially began!
