Chapter 308 - 309: Glacial Glow
The Sword Spirit Dragon blocked his escape route, with the Ice Morning White Dragon and Divine Green Holy Dragon attacking from left and right. Despite this, Dean Lian Feiling was quite agile, at times light as a crane, at other times sprightly as a swallow, and managed not to be swiftly defeated among the relentless assault of the three dragons.
Finally, he found an opportunity to create a significant distance between himself and the three dragons. Spreading his arms like an eagle soaring, as he reached mid-air, his extravagant Peacock Gown began to flicker with a strange light…
This strange light mingled with colorful auras, eventually forming a magnificent peacock pattern that pressed down heavily upon the earth, striking the ground with the force of a massive mountain.
Zhu Minglang couldn’t immediately discern the exact nature of the divine and mortal powers possessed by Dean Lian Feiling. Although bizarre and unusual, the power of this attack might not be enough to shake his three dragons, especially considering their high cultivation base.
The Ice Morning White Dragon avoided the peacock pattern, flying up into the sky and directly into the clouds.
The territory of the Divine Green Holy Dragon expanded uninhibited upon the ground. One could see the Sky Support Vines, which only existed in Ancient Ruins, breaking through the soil. They grew around the Divine Green Holy Dragon and were controlled by it, steadily squeezing the space in which Dean Lian Feiling could maneuver.
Dean Lian Feiling dared not touch the ground; those tough vines were indestructible and grew more luxuriant by the minute, like a devil’s jungle slowly devouring everything around it.
“Whoosh!”
Sword Qi swept through the air as the Sword Spirit Dragon began its chaotic swordplay without any particular pattern—wherever the enemy was, it just needed to unleash powerful Sword Qi in that direction, the faster, the better! Having had the Ancient Venom Fly Dragon as a perfect sparring target, the Sword Spirit Dragon was even more satisfied with its sword speed, its frenzied swordsmanship fast as gust after gust of cutting wind, leaving Dean Lian Feiling no room for negligence.
At this point, the female student Liang Sifan could tell that even though Dean Lian Feiling had not yet fallen, he was having a hard time facing Zhu Minglang’s three dragons alone. Moreover, his opponent hadn’t yet fully grasped the abilities at his disposal…
If his powers were to be completely exposed, it was likely that Dean Lian Feiling wouldn’t be able to hold on much longer.
He should’ve brought more experts with him; why didn’t he listen?
If this continues, the Godly Mortal Academy’s reputation will be utterly tarnished!
Above Dean Lian Feiling’s head, the chill surged.
His Peacock Coloured Robe was now damaged in several places, but he was still desperately holding on.
He continued to ascend, hoping to use the clouds to hide his whereabouts and catch a breather.
The chill grew bone-piercing, leaving Dean Lian Feiling utterly perplexed. Even in winter, the cloud layers shouldn’t feel like icy fog—it felt as if he wasn’t high in the clouds, but rather had fallen into an ice cave.
“Bang!!!”
Suddenly, Dean Lian Feiling slammed into an incredibly hard object, seeing stars as a bruise immediately swelled on his forehead!
“What the hell is that!” Dean Lian Feiling cursed, looking up only to realize the clouds had solidified into ice. Flying into the clouds was the same as smashing his head against an iceberg.
A gust of wind from the east swept by, clearing away the ice fog and revealing the full extent of the cloud layer. The moment Dean Lian Feiling saw all the clouds frozen into ice and all the ice combining into a magnificent glacier, his face turned pale, and he began to tremble uncontrollably.
The sun’s rays filled the astonishing floating ice glacier with light, making it appear as a radiant ice mirage, a spectacle both breathtaking and terrifying!
The huge ice radiance was pressing down, crashing, and at that very moment, Dean Lian Feiling saw that amidst the dazzling gleam, a White Dragon stood at the peak of this floating ice glacier, casting the Azure Dragon Mystics that caused the collapse of this aerial ice glacier!!
Even with Lian Feiling’s agile skills, he had no way to dodge such Azure Dragon Mystics.
As the glacier collapsed, Lian Feiling was also violently smashed toward the ground.
The ground below was a jungle formed of Sky Support Vine, a devil’s snares. Already immobilized by the collapsing ice, and further bound by these devilish vines, Lian Feiling found all his abilities rendered useless. Trapped between two terrifying dragon arts, he struggled in agony!
The power generated by the collapse of the glacier was terrifying, and Lian Feiling had no idea how many bones he had broken.
His skin, muscles, and meridians had all frozen stiff, and the piercing cold was draining the vitality from his body.
Lian Feiling knew he could not hold on any longer, and in the end, he could only clench his teeth, resembling one resigned to their punishment.
Before long, Lian Feiling saw Zhu Minglang approach haughtily. His black eyes seemed to be surveying a mouse caught in a trap, with mockery and contempt!
Lian Feiling instantly felt humiliated. Being the Dean of the Godly Mortal Academy, he should have been one of the top powerhouses of the tea-colored ground. Aside from beings transcendent like the Orderers, he paid no consideration to anyone else.
Yet, he had been so easily defeated by Zhu Minglang, a mere student, a junior in rank.
Of course, Lian Feiling knew that Zhu Minglang was a personage of note in the Imperial City, among the disciples of the great forces he was hailed as the strongest. But Lian Feiling had never taken Zhu Minglang seriously.
Until this moment, his heart was still filled with reluctance.
Why had he been defeated by someone of a junior rank!!
“Miss Liang, it looks like you’ll need to make another trip to the Godly Mortal Academy and find someone who can beat me. Your dean hasn’t even allowed my dragon to enjoy itself to the fullest,” Zhu Minglang said.
“But our Dean is already very strong, if we look further, we can only find the Headmasters themselves. But our Headmaster doesn’t bother with mundane matters, the Second Headmaster is the Orderer and isn’t in the academy right now, the Third Headmaster…” Liang Sifan went on to count those in the academy who were stronger than Dean Lian Feiling.
“Enough, aren’t you ashamed!” Lian Feiling angrily rebuked.
“Dean, it’s not me who lost…” Liang Sifan said earnestly.
“We are the Godly Mortal Academy, the dignity of the Godly Mortal Academy is inviolable!” Lian Feiling said.
“Judging from the actions of the dean, the teachers, and the students, our Godly Mortal Academy has long lost any dignity it had,” Liang Sifan said.
This remark almost made Lian Feiling spit out another mouthful of blood in anger.
This wretched girl, it’s not just that her elbow is turned outwards, it feels like she’s about to defect to another side!
“Master Zhu, it seems unlikely someone from our academy who can defeat you will come, so how about this, shall I call my father over?” Liang Sifan turned her head and said to Zhu Minglang.
“Your father can defeat me?” Zhu Minglang asked.
“He is a reasonable man.”
“Oh, alright, that could work,” Zhu Minglang nodded in agreement.
