Chapter 218: Special Monster, Planet Core

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

The dining hall of Yulong Gymnasium was built with a retro style, but the interior was not at all ancient.

What surprised Su Bai was that this place actually sold dragon meat openly. Did they not consider the feelings of dragon pets at all?

“Wow, it smells so good. Little dragon, what do you think?” He took a bite of dragon meat and asked.

Erm… It’s not very tasty. Why don’t you take a bite of my meat? Anyway, it’ll recover instantly. said Little Blood Dragon on the table.

Su Bai: “…”

It’s really not delicious. It’s just a sub-dragon’s meat. You’re an ancestor dragon; you may really be delicious. Oh, there’s Ice Phoenix, too. It won’t be a bad idea to taste the difference between phoenix meat and chicken meat, said the cub as it looked at its siblings.

“Roar~” I’ve never eaten my own meat, let me try it today.”

The dragon nodded obediently.

“Quack?” Can I not participate? asked the phoenix weakly.

Su Bai was speechless. What kind of brain circuits was this?

“Okay, let’s not discuss this matter. I won’t eat any of your meat.” He ended this topic directly. The pets were very open about it, but he found it unacceptable.

In fact, cooking the meat of these high-level monsters would waste a large amount of effort. Even if it was dead, the resistance on the corporeal body was still intense.

After eating, he was about to leave when a man in sportswear came over and said hello with a smile. “Hello, senior brother, I’m Ouyang Du, one of the core disciples of God Dragon Division. Senior brother, do you have time? I want to talk to you.”

Su Bai glanced at Ouyang Du. This guy was obviously wearing sportswear, but he had a bald head, which was very rare for young people.

The core disciple meant that he was the division’s inner disciple.

Disciple levels were generally divided into three: ordinary, elite, and core. The chief disciple of a sanctuary or a division and the chief disciple of the gymnasium were not counted among them.

The core disciples of Yulong Gymnasium must be town-hall grade Pet Tamers. That was, they must have diamond contract books and monarch pets.

Generally speaking, a town-hall grade Pet Tamer with a pureblood dragon pet could directly become a core disciple, while a Pet Tamer with a sub-dragon pet needed to complete some tasks first. However, it was not difficult to pass the assessment.

Summoners without even sub-dragon pets would find it extremely difficult to pass the assessment and become core disciples.

However, there was no other way. This museum was called Yulong Gymnasium, so the dragon pet was naturally one of the important assessment conditions.

Thus, in the eyes of the disciples, it was only right for Su Bai to become the gymasium’s core disciple directly. After all, he had an Ancestor Blood Dragon.

“No problem. Let’s go out and chat.”

Nodding, he walked out and went out to the garden outside. The two people found a stone table opposite to sit down.

“Tell me: What’s the matter? Are you here to challenge me?” he looked at Ouyang Du and asked.

“Of course not. In fact, it doesn’t matter even if I win against you in a battle.” The other shook his head. “I’m here to take refuge in you, senior brother. On behalf of our entire group, we will try our best to help you fight for the position of a curator in the future.”

“On behalf of your group?” Su Bai asked curiously.

He knew that even in the gymnasium, there were many factions and small groups. Everyone gathered together for various reasons, be they interests or beliefs.

“What I represent is the group of Pet Tamers who don’t have sub-dragon pets. Our dragon pets can’t be promoted to the sub-dragon bloodline for various reasons. We are considered a group of people who have been excluded from the core power of the gymnasium, but in fact, the strength of our group isn’t weak, and we just don’t have good dragon pets.

“Our group isn’t too big, but it’s not small, either. We have nearly a thousand people.

“The so-called icing on the cake is simple to do, but it’s difficult to send charcoal in the snow. We just want to come and send charcoal in the snow for you. Although you have become the division’s chief disciple, there’s actually no one at your disposal, is there?” Ouyang Du said slowly.

“You’re right, but you have no proof. Why should I believe you? Why did you choose me? Just because you want to take a gamble?” Su Bai carried Purple Jade in his arms and asked blankly.

“Yeah, it’s just a gamble. In case you win, we can obtain some real power in the gym, as well as some good dragon eggs from the dragon nest.

“You have an Ancestor Blood Dragon in your hand. As far as we know, every one of them has extraordinary abilities and can purify the same bloodline.

“That’s how it is; we just want to take a gamble.”

In the end, Ouyang Du directly confessed and explained everything because he found that Su Bai was not the type who liked hearing sugar-coated words.

Su Bai thought about it while playing with the cub.

“I heard that there’s a special monster called the metal core in the depths of the Heavenly Abyss space crack. Its whole body looks like a liquid metal ball. There’s also a monster called the Planet Core, which has a unique color. If you catch them for me within three days, I’ll believe you.

“Since it’s a gamble, you should take some bets as well,” Su Bai stood up and said.

“Planet Core… That thing is too rare, and it’s even in the depths of the crack. Three days is too short.” Ouyang Du frowned.

“If you can’t even accomplish this, how can you send charcoal in the snow to help me?” He retorted before turning to leave.

Although there were many people in groups like Ouyang Du, they were far worse than other core disciples who had sub-dragon pets.

As the chief disciple, he was in charge of many things concerning the disciples, including the arrangement of positions; some space crack guarding tasks had to be passed through him, too. This chief disciple was not a false job, and the elders of the gymnasium had to give him some resources deliberately to let him allocate them.

When he succeeded in competing for the curator position in the future, he would arrange for the director of God Dragon Division.

Given his position as chief disciple, to a certain extent, the disciple would have to face him and flatter him regardless of their willingness.

“Senior Brother Su, can you tell us what we can get?” Ouyang Du asked.

“This is just a test. If you want to get more cakes through me, shouldn’t you show your sincerity? I just want to say that if you get my trust, you will never lose out. Believe it or not, it’s up to you.”

He shrugged and left.

Ouyang Du stood with his eyes down for a long time. He finally sighed, then turned, and walked back. He returned straight to a training hall where a group of people were gathered; all of whom were leaders of their group.

“How did the talk go?” Seeing him, several other people clamored to ask.

He showed a bitter smile and spread his hands. “Things aren’t as simple as we thought. He’s not stupid. He wants us to show our sincerity and grab the Planet Core within three days.”

“The Planet Core in three days? How’s that possible?” one of the women in denim stood up and asked loudly.

“Yes, that thing is deep in the crack, and it may not even be there. He wants it in three days? Doesn’t he know how difficult it is? It’s almost impossible to complete, right?”

Another big bronze-skinned man stood up.

“Did he say what we can get by accomplishing this task?” someone else asked.

Ouyang Du spread his hands and said helplessly, “He made no promises. Only when this is done can we qualify for some gains.”

As soon as these words came out, the others immediately looked furious.

“Is he taking us for monkeys or as tools?”

“Let’s cancel this plan. I’ve never thought well of him, but I can’t believe he’s so arrogant. I really want to see how far he can jump.”

“The meeting is adjourned. Whoever wants to go can go to the depths of the abyss. Does he even know how many people are going to die?”

The others got up and walked outside as they cursed. They had already endured all these years. It was fine being cast aside; at least, it would not cost them their lives.

In the end, only two people were left in the training hall. One was Ouyang Du and the other was a girl in black tights.

“Han Wei, aren’t you leaving?” he asked with a smile.

“Aren’t you leaving, either?” she countered coldly.

“Then are you going to do this?”

“Of course, I want to get more resources. How can I become stronger without resources?

“I think that Su Bai is worth the investment. They may not know what the Ancestor Blood Dragon means. If they want to obtain resources, how can they be unwilling to lay their pride down? Is there such a free meal in this world?”

Han Wei sneered. From beginning to end, she had not said a single thing earlier.

“Yes, I used to place too much importance on my pride, too, just like them. Actually, pride is nothing. It seems that we have a common goal; let’s think of a solution together. ”

…

Time passed slowly. In the blink of an eye, it was already three in the afternoon. Most of the disciples of the God Dragon Division were gathered on the square. Qin Miao and the elders of the gymnasium sat on the rostrum, while Su Bai sat next to Qin Miao.

When the people were almost there, the meeting began. First, it was a memorial service for the dead, where they routinely said some false and empty big words as they drew a big pie in the sky for the deceased disciples.

Next, Qin Miao announced two new positions for the vice president and a group of new core disciples. Whenever people passed away, someone else would always take their place. Death seemed to be normal to Pet Tamers.

“The last thing is to announce the candidate for the new chief disciple. I think everyone already knows who it is. Yes, he is Su Bai, the owner of an Ancestor Blood Dragon. He’ll be the chief disciple of God Dragon Division from now on. That is, he’s your senior brother. He’ll assume all the rights and responsibilities of a chief disciple. If you have any opinions about him, you can raise them now. Otherwise, this matter is so determined!” Qin Miao announced the last thing.

Although the disciples were somewhat dissatisfied with this, they did not express it. Having an Ancestor Blood Dragon already established his immovable position.

“Dean, I want to challenge Senior Brother Su. I don’t think that he’s strong enough to be the new chief disciple of our division.” A blonde woman spoke out.

This Pet Tamer was He Yu, one of the core disciples of the gymnasium. She had a good relationship with the former chief disciple. She owned a Six-winged Water Dragon, a sub-dragon pet. As long as it evolved again, it could become a pureblood dragon. She originally thought that her position was stable, but this young man, who had fallen from the sky, directly broke her illusion.

“Alright, then. Since you want to challenge him, go to the fighting arena.” Qin Miao glanced at He Yu and sighed.

The group of people walked toward the fighting arena while discussing this matter. Although many people did not dare to stand up, they were still very keen on watching this bout.

However, this time, there was no such thing as them siding with one person, for many of them still had no idea of Su Bai’s strength.

They, of course, hoped that He Yu would win. After all, she was beautiful and gentle, so the disciples naturally favored her as their new chief disciple rather than a stranger whom they did not know.

In the center of the fighting arena, both combatants stood.

“Senior Sister He, you can do it!” shouted many disciples to cheer the woman on.

He Yu exhaled and looked at the young man before her. “I won’t cheat you. Let’s compete with our dragon pets. Let me see if you’re worthy of being our new chief disciple. If you convince me, I’ll help you. If you can’t convince me, then I’m sorry; even if I don’t become the chief disciple, I won’t listen to your orders.”

“Actually, I’m fine with you mobilizing all your strength…”

“No, I said we’ll compete with our dragons.”

“Okay, then. Shall we begin?” Su Bai exhaled and asked helplessly.

He was actually a little annoyed. There were more things to handle in the gym than he thought.

“Let me take a look at how strong you are.”

He Yu released her Six-winged Water Dragon, an aquatic blue pet with six transparent wings on its back and a body length of more than one hundred meters. It looked like a giant and was a peak high-level monarch.

Su Bai raised his hand to release his pet dragon and said casually, “Attack until it’s unable to fight back.”

“Roar~” Blood Dragon also grew to more than a hundred meters in size. It glanced at the Six-winged Water Dragon and directly rushed over, but it did not actively launch any attacks. Instead, it waited for the opponent to launch an attack first.

“How arrogant. Water dragon, get rid of it!”

He Yu showed a hint of shame, feeling that Su Bai was too arrogant.

“Roar!”

The Six-winged Water Dragon let out a deafening roar, bursting forth with infinite spiritual power. It flew directly to the Blood Dragon and spat out a blue dragon’s breath with its big mouth.

With a bang, Blood Dragon did not evade and just passed straight ahead. It flicked its tail to meet this breath as it drew onto the opponent’s head. The opponent was directly thrown to the ground and rendered unconscious.

The scene was silent. The disciples were shocked, while the dean and the other elders were calm.

He Yu was frozen in place. She stayed silent, but the expression in her eyes changed, and she was lost in thoughts.

“I told you to use your full strength. Did you really think my Ancestor Blood Dragon was just powerful in name?” Su Bai glanced at her. “The real arrogant one is you. Do you want to keep fighting? If not, I’ll go back now.”

In fact, his true strength surpassed even the core disciples. He Yu insisted on competing with their dragons; was she not displaying her slight skills before an expert?

The bloodline’s restraint on the dragon attribute was very great, and Su Bai had a Blood Dragon. It was even an Ancestor Blood Dragon, so the result was already doomed from the beginning.

“Then get ready to fail.” He Yu glared coldly at him. Her diamond contract book opened, and five terrifying monsters at peak sovereign flew out. Following her order, they began to show their true strength.

Their coordination with one other was perfect. Some specially rushed to attract the attention of Blood Dragon, while some focused on control as others went for rear output.

Facing this series of assaults, Su Bai was silent for a while and then slowly said, “Cross Blood Killing Mark.”

Infinite blood mist spread, condensing crimson cross rays of light. Immediately afterward, the flickering disappeared. Only the sound of flesh and blood could be heard, and as the blood dissipated, He Yu’s five pets were all seriously injured and had fallen to the ground.

“A consummate skill!” someone exclaimed. All of the disciples present were surprised and shocked beyond words. It turned out to be a consummate skill; this was incredible.

Even Qin Miao and the others did not expect Su Bai’s pet to have mastered a consummate skill.

He Yu looked at all this in a daze, and it took her a long time to recover. She took a deep breath and gazed at the young man.

“I lost. I’ve finally witnessed the power of a consummate skill.”

This was her worst loss ever. She was completely defeated and had been defeated by one move twice at that.

The biggest reason was that she did not understand his strength at all and had not predicted that he would have a consummate skill. Having been defeated soundly, she had nothing to say.

As Su Bai said, she was careless and had not taken him seriously despite knowing that he had an Ancestor Blood Dragon.

She had been too arrogant.

He Yu walked off the fighting arena, leaving Su Bai there. He looked around and asked nonchalantly, “Anyone else wants to challenge me?”

The spectator stand was silent, and no one came forward. The amazing performance of the Ancestor Blood Dragon moments ago had greatly shocked them.

For a while, they looked at Su Bai’s eyes and seemed to see the changes in him. They had felt repelled by him before, but now, some people were already thinking in their hearts that it would be good to have him as their chief disciple. Not to mention their future, taking refuge in him now should get them a lot of resources.

If he really became the curator later, they could even get a good position.

With this assumption, the mentality of many people changed. It seemed like this new senior brother was very good. This meant that the original resources could now be redistributed.

In the end, no one challenged Su Bai.

“Well, in that case, I officially announce that Su Bai is the chief disciple of our division,” Qin Miao stood up and said.

“Hello, senior brother!” The disciples greeted him in unison.

“Hello, junior brothers and seniors…” Su Bai smiled and waved his hand. He said a few things they liked to hear and won a round of heavy applause.

In fact, he had been a little scared earlier. If someone else challenged him, the outcome would be more unpredictable. The more things he exposed, the more flaws he would have. This was why he had not hesitated to expose his pet dragon’s consummate skill. Compared to exchanging moves and winning the battle after much difficulty, it was most straightforward to kill the opponent in seconds.

The final result was as he expected. No one else challenged him because they were all stunned by the Blood Dragon’s consummate skill and its defeat of the opponents in seconds. In fact, Su Bai’s overall strength was completely inferior to them. His pet was not omnipotent, and once it was encircled by the opponent in a planned way, it could at best ensure a safe escape but would find it impossible to win.

This was especially so if the other party came prepared.

However, after this battle, his senior brother’s position was temporarily stabilized.

At the end of the meeting, he followed Qin Miao to the dean’s office to conduct some handovers, which also made him understand his power and responsibilities.
