“Dragon roar? Could it be that there’s really an ancient giant dragon in this great hall?”

  Sun Mo recalled the experience of the Dragon Subduing Academy’s founder. It was said that he had obtained a wooden sculpture and comprehended the Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture from it.

  “That’s unknown.”

  Duanmu Li shook his head. For such secrets, other than the upper echelons of the academy, no one could learn about them.

  “Ziyu, how’s your body?”

  Sun Mo wanted to enter for a look but was worried that Mei Ziyu’s body couldn’t endure it.

  “It’s just a dragon roar, I can still endure them.”

  Mei Ziyu indicated to Sun Mo not to worry.

  The corridor was a sealed one and was slanting downward. From the looks of things, the Dragonroar Hall should be located underground.

  “It’s really beautiful!”

  Sun Mo praised.

  Other than the two sides of the walls, the ceiling and floor panels had diagrams of various dragons engraved on them. This was definitely carved by a grandmaster because all of them looked extremely vivid and lifelike.

  The eyes of these giant dragons were fist-sized night luminance pearls. So, even though they were underground, the area wasn’t dim.

  After walking for close to a hundred meters, the three of them appeared before a gigantic blue-colored lightscreen.

  “Be more careful.”

  Duanmu Li reminded them and took the lead to enter the lightscreen first.

  Sun Mo then entered. At the instant he stepped through the lightscreen, a heavy pressure gushed forward. He felt as though a 10,000 jin stone was pressed on his chest, causing him to be unable to catch his breath.

  Sun Mo hurriedly turned his head. “Ziyu!”

  When she saw the look of concern on Sun Mo’s face, Mei Ziyu felt warmth in her heart. “I’m fine.”

  This Dragonroar Great Hall was half the size of a soccer field. It was in the shape of the eight trigrams and had a very high roof that was tall enough to hang eighteen flying giant dragon stone sculptures.

  Over here, teachers and students were sitting cross-legged.

  No one spoke needlessly. Everyone was preserving their strength and waiting for the next wave of dragon roar.

  Three minutes later, the dragon roar was about to sound out.

  When those students tensed their bodies, Sun Mo also did his utmost to prepare.

  At the next instant, the dragon roar sounded.

  BOOM!

  It was like a gigantic bolt of lightning suddenly erupting forth from clear skies, wanting to shatter the dome of the heavens. A tsunami-like aura gushed forward, engulfing the great hall, wanting to shatter everything here.

  Ah!

  A student screamed in agony, clutching his head as he fell. There was another who was roaring around in pain.

  Sun Mo noticed that their flesh had cracked and blood was flowing.

  “Indeed, it’s a double attack on one’s mind and body.”

  Mei Ziyu’s face was a little pale. Because she was sick throughout the year, her body’s constitution was very weak. If not, she would be able to endure the dragon roar with no injuries.

  “Are you okay?”

  Duanmu Li had been surveying Sun Mo. When he saw Sun Mo wasn’t the slightest bit affected by the dragon roar, he couldn’t help but be shocked.

  Even major characters at the Longevity Realm would surely feel temporary dizziness the first time they entered this place.

  “Just a headache, but I can bear it!”

  Sun Mo didn’t want to brag. Hence, he told a white lie. In truth, he felt nothing at all.

  After the strengthening of his will by the Battle God, Sun Mo’s will had been tempered to a point where it was extremely powerful. To others, the dragon roar might be able to shatter their minds and hearts, but to Sun Mo, it was like the barking of a wild dog on the roadside. Although it was frightening, that was all to it.

  Three minutes later, another dragon roar sounded out.

  This time around, more people fell to the ground. However, Sun Mo noticed that although they found it unbearable, all of them were struggling to crawl out.

  “If it happens again, they might die. So after they reach the limits they can endure, they will choose to leave.”

  Duanmu Li explained. “Oh right, there’s a rule in the Dragon Subduing Palace. In this place, once you accept help from anyone else, you will forever be prohibited from entering.”

  “Why?”

  Mei Ziyu didn’t understand. She saw a few students who overestimated themselves currently crawling on the ground. They were heavily injured and a trail of blood followed them.

  “It’s because the academy wants the students to learn how to suppress greed and teach them how to judge the situation, learning how to stop once the gains are sufficient.”

  Duanmu Li looked at the crawling students and didn’t offer any help. “The path before you is chosen by yourself. Even if it is filled with thorns, you have to trample over them!”

  Sun Mo fell silent. Were those few crawling students afraid?

  That’s for sure.

  Their faces had looks of unease and dread, but there was even more determination. They didn’t cry for help. Each of them was gritting their teeth and doing their best to crawl toward the lightscreen.

  Some of the students who were already injured hesitated for a while and eventually chose to stay when they saw this scene. They had wanted to leave.

  But they wanted to challenge their limits as well.

  ROAR!

  The third dragon roar rang out.

  In the hall, a large number of people fell. After that, some of them chose to leave.

  Sun Mo looked at a youth who was leaving as he spoke in reminder, “You can still endure two more dragon roars.”

  Upon hearing this, the youth turned his head in astonishment.

  “What nonsense are you talking about? If he continued staying, he would die.”

  The young girl who was supporting the youth immediately turned and glared at Sun Mo.

  She wouldn’t allow her childhood sweetheart to risk it.

  Sun Mo shrugged.

  “Qiu Li, don’t be so impolite.”

  The young man persuaded. After that, he apologized to Sun Mo. “Teacher, please forgive her.”

  The two of them left after they finished speaking.

  Even that very courteous youth didn’t listen to Sun Mo. This was because after so many years, everyone had summed up the rules and knew their limits with regard to the degree of injury they would sustain.

  “Ai, an immense opportunity to improve is here, but he doesn’t know how to cherish it. So as the saying goes, those without luck can’t even pick up scraps.”

  Mei Ziyu sighed ruefully.

  Sun Mo was God Hands. If this were the Central Province Academy, students who had received guidance from him personally would be happy for at least half a month.

  “His body should be heavily injured, right?”

  Duanmu Li didn’t understand because just from looking at the injuries on the boy’s body, he thought that the boy had reached his limits.

  “The constitution of that youth is very strong. If he endured two more dragon roars, he would be able to achieve the greatest tempering effect. Otherwise, he would only be able to gain very little benefits.”

  Sun Mo explained.

  A human’s training process was simply to damage their muscles and allow them to recover. They would become stronger after recovery.

  Simply speaking, that youth’s training load wasn’t heavy enough.

  “Ziyu, if you have nothing to do, you can stay in this place. These dragon roars will be extremely beneficial to your body.”

  Although Sun Mo had only experienced three dragon roars, because he grasped the ancient massaging technique, he understood his body exceptionally well. He discovered that the soundwaves from the dragon roars could stimulate his cells and improve their vitality and toughness.

  Simply speaking, other than the dragon roars being able to temper one’s body and make it stronger, if one stayed here for a long period, they would even be able to enjoy an increase in their lifespan.

  For humans, their cells would divide and regenerate again and again unceasingly. When the cells died and no longer divided, that person would already be dead.

  By improving the vitality and lengthening the life of cells, it meant that one’s lifespan would be lengthened.

  Mei Ziyu shook her head. She knew that Sun Mo was saying this for her own good. However, she only wanted to accompany Sun Mo. If not, what was the joy even if she could live for a few more days?

  The three of them found a remote location and sat down.

  They then continued to endure the baptism of the dragon roars.

  …

  “Qiu Li, what did Teacher Sun talk to you guys about?”

  Someone asked.

  “He wanted Meng Gang to endure two more dragon roars. What nonsensical guidance! Look at Meng Gang, if one more dragon roar came, he most probably would have to be bed-ridden for half a month.”

  Li Qiu spoke in disdain. The intern teachers nowadays were getting increasingly unreliable.

  “I feel you should listen to his suggestion. That’s Teacher Sun after all.”

  Li Qiu’s good friend reminded her out of good will.

  “Teacher Sun? Sun Mo? The one that beat up the little prince?”

  Meng Gang started. He subconsciously turned his head and hesitated. “Why don’t I give it a try?”

  “Let’s just wait. Don’t treat your life as a joke.”

  Qiu Li persuaded. “His teaching capabilities might be very strong, but he has not displayed his competency in cultivation yet.”

  Qiu Li didn’t want her childhood sweetheart to be a white lab rat. And what if they got targeted by the little prince because they were too closely-tied with Sun Mo?”

  “Even if his guiding ability was very strong, could he allow Meng Gang to soar qualitatively?”

  Qiu Li had decided not to come in contact with Sun Mo.

  …

  After another five dragon roars, Sun Mo discovered that the majority of students started to hurry and go outside. As for the teachers, they revealed heavy expressions.

  Before Sun Mo could ask why, Duanmu Li had started to explain in an understanding manner.

  “The dragon roars that sound out at every exact hour would have its might magnified by ten times. Ordinary students wouldn’t be able to withstand it, and they would directly suffer sudden death.”

  Indeed, the dragon roars that sounded out at the exact hours had a different method of release.

  An ancient giant dragon over tens of meters long suddenly flew out from the ceiling and moved toward the ground before it started roaring.

  Roar~

  The soundwaves reverberated, causing clouds of dust to fly up.

  After that, the giant dragon slammed into the floor with a bang and vanished from sight. However, the sound of its roar continued lingering for a minute before dissipating.

  Sun Mo hurriedly moved toward Mei Ziyu and gave her a massage to help her.

  “This is good stuff. As expected of the ultimate treasure of the Dragon Subduing Academy. How good would it be if we could move this place to the Central Province Academy.”

  Sun Mo was envious.

  “If you guys can still persist, we can go to the next Draconic Human Great Hall.”

  Duanmu Li suggested.

  “Sure!”

  They had bought the tickets, so wouldn’t they lose out if they didn’t visit every place here?

  “The Draconic Human Great Hall is as its name implies. Draconic humans will spawn and students can fight against them. After they can defeat 36 draconic humans in one go, they will be qualified to enter the next great hall.”

  As Duanmu Li introduced, they walked through another stretch of corridor that was about tens of meters long and entered a great hall glowing with red light.

  This place was like a beehive. It was split into eighteen octagon regions and the number of draconic humans was different in each region.

  “Interesting!”

  Sun Mo stared at the draconic humans. They were about two meters tall with muscular bodies. Their skin was covered in tough scales and they even had tails about a meter long. Their claws were as sharp as the edges of swords and blades, capable of breaking armor. They had heads that resembled lizards.

  “Let me try!”

  Sun Mo was excited when he saw others going ‘hunting’. After that, when he saw a student climbing out from a region, he immediately jumped down. “Teacher Duanmu, how do I get the draconic humans to appear?”

  “Use fresh blood.”

  But before Sun Mo could slice the skin on his finger, a barbarian youth already jumped in and berated in a thunderous voice.

  “Oi, man from the Central Plains. Scram out from here or don’t blame your daddy for being rude.”


  Chapter 819: Could it be that this man surnamed ‘Sun’ is a madman?

  As Alage entered the battlefield, a few other youths also walked over while laughing, wanting to watch a good show.

  “Are you a student?”

  Sun Mo frowned.

  “Why do you care whether I’m a student or not? In any case, scram right now, or I’ll show you who’s the boss.”

  Alage’s attitude was very terrible.

  They were students of the seventh year and would graduate next spring.

  At this age, they had learned everything they should learn, and looking for jobs was the next thing on their agenda. Hence, they were very bored and decided to cultivate in the Dragon Subduing Palace.

  Algae wanted to target Sun Mo because he didn’t want an outsider to enjoy the benefits here.

  “Teacher Sun, they are racists. Be careful.”

  Duanmu Li warned. Among the barbarians, some viewed people from the Central Plains with immense hostility. In fact, they felt that the school shouldn’t employ anyone from the Central Plains at all.

  Learning the language of the Central Plains, wearing clothes with the style of the Central Plains, drinking the tea from there…in their points of view, these were behaviors that violated the teaching of their ancestors. Such people must be shot to death and their corpses must be fed to vultures.

  “How will you show me who’s boss?”

  Sun Mo smiled and asked.

  Bang!

  Alage punched his fists together as he smiled maliciously at Sun Mo. “A battle. Do you dare?”

  “A life-and-death battle?”

  Sun Mo’s lips curled. “If it’s not a life-and-death battle, I’m not interested.”

  Eh!

  After seeing Sun Mo’s casual expression, Alage and his comrades had a look of shock on their faces.

  One must know that the teachers from the Central Plains would usually give some face to the other party since they wanted to seek employment in the Dragon Subduing Academy. If not, they wouldn’t need to make a living here anymore.

  However, this one was clearly different. He immediately wanted a life-and-death battle!

  “Scram if you don’t dare to accept it. Don’t be an irksome presence here.”

  Sun Mo berated.

  Alage was a fierce guy from Jin Country. After being provoked by Sun Mo, he lost his temper and directly pulled out his curved blade. “Alage, fifth level of the Divine Force Realm. Please guide me.”

  “Scram! Scram! Scram!”

  Sun Mo impatiently waved his hands.

  “What do you mean?” Alage roared, “Are you afraid now?”

  “A newbie at the fifth level of Divine Force Realm wants to fight against me? Have you grown tired of living? Who gave you the courage?”

  Sun Mo scolded in anger.

  “Acting like a snob. Die for me!”

  Alage raged. He directly lunged forward and slashed his curved blade out.

  Sun Mo couldn’t even be bothered to dodge. He directly clenched his right hand tightly and punched out.

  Bang!

  An iron fist landed on Alage’s face and directly caused his nose and lips to sink in. After that, he got blasted back from the impact.

  Bang!

  Alage fell onto the ground and felt a headache. He then coughed out a large mouthful of blood with a few teeth mixed within.

  “An insta-defeat?”

  The spectators were all looking at Sun Mo with shock in their eyes.

  Wasn’t this fellow an intern teacher that overestimated himself? After all, his age was only 20+ and he was definitely not a 3-star great teacher.

  Such a person coming to seek employment here was simply indulging in wishful thinking.

  Usually speaking, for people of the same age, a great teacher’s cultivation base and combat strength would comparatively be lower than cultivators’. This was because a great teacher’s time was too precious. They still needed to study and teach their students. However, this person was actually strong enough to crush Alage with a single punch!

  “Anyone else who wants to fight?”

  Sun Mo turned and glanced at the audience.

  Such humiliation caused their faces to convulse. They wanted to curse and accept the battle, but the miserable appearance of Alage caused them to feel fear and trepidation in their hearts.

  “A bunch of cowards. Do you guys only know how to bully the weak?”

  Sun Mo mocked. “Come and fight then. Don’t you guys want to show me who’s the boss? Come on!”

  “Preposterous. Man from the Central Plains, don’t be arrogant.”

  A youth couldn’t bear it anymore and jumped down.

  Sun Mo did a beckoning gesture with his fingers.

  The youth charged over and when he almost reached Sun Mo, he punched out while revealing a sinister smile.

  “Go to hell!”

  Woosh~

  A sharp wind suddenly blasted toward Sun Mo’s back.

  A gorgeous ferocious tiger suddenly appeared behind Sun Mo and brandished its sharp claws at him.

  “Well done, finish him!”

  The audience shouted loudly.

  This tiger that knew how to make itself invisible was Baxitai’s trump card. He managed to capture it in a tempering expedition in the Darkness Continent when he was in his sixth year.

  By depending on this ferocious tiger, Baxitai’s fame surged in the Dragon Subduing Academy, and a few princes and dukes had placed his name in their lists. However, he didn’t work for them because he wanted to see if the King of Jin Country would recruit him. He wished to become a gold-veiled warrior that could live in glory.

  “Don’t you people from the Central Plains speak about something like paying back someone in their own coin? Today, I will let you taste the iron fist of a brave warrior from the mighty Jin Country!”

  Baxitai punched out heavily.

  Sun Mo remained unperturbed. He took a step forward and acted with lightning speed.

  Pak!

  Sun Mo grabbed Baxitai’s arm and forcefully twisted it. At the same time, he turned and side-stepped. His entire person spun about, and his right leg was like a Buddha mace as it swept out.

  Bang!

  Sun Mo’s leg smashed into the head of the ferocious tiger, blasting it away.

  Kaba!

  Baxitai’s scapula was dislocated by Sun Mo, and intense pain caused his head to be covered in sweat.

  Bang!

  The ferocious tiger slammed onto the ground as fresh blood flowed from its head. Even its eyes turned cloudy. If Sun Mo had used a little more force, its head would have exploded.

  Sun Mo then lifted his feet and aimed a kick at the back of Baxitai’s knees.

  Pak!

  Baxitai knelt.

  “In a fair fight, you actually used such a despicable method. Are the people of your tribe so shameless?”

  Sun Mo asked.

  The audience had looks of shame on their faces.

  “Kill him!”

  Baxitai howled, feeling rage in his heart. It was over. This defeat had destroyed the reputation he had been building up for several years.

  He couldn’t become a golden-veil warrior anymore.

  The angry Baxitai wanted to kill Sun Mo to vent his anger.

  Roar!

  The ferocious tiger roared. The intense pain caused it to become even crazier, and it galloped furiously over, wanting to tear Sun Mo into pieces. But at the instant it swiped its paw out, Sun Mo glared at it.

  Woosh~

  At that moment, the ferocious tiger felt as though it had just seen the king of a hundred beasts descending. Its legs buckled and it prostrated down before emitting whimpering sounds.

  “What the hell?”

  “What did he do? Why would the ferocious tiger submit?”

  “Some type of brilliant beast controlling technique?”

  The commotion here had attracted several people who wanted to watch a good show. When they saw Sun Mo merely shooting an angry glare over, which caused the ferocious tiger to submit, their hearts were filled with incomparable shock.

  “This…”

  Duanmu Li was amazed. Sun Mo was actually a grandmaster beast tamer too?

  Sun Mo’s expertise in the study of beast taming was at the grandmaster level. It was just that he had never used it before. Earlier, the technique he just used was none other than the Ferocious Beast Cowering Technique, which could cause fierce beasts to feel fear.

  Naturally, because he was not too used to it, the effect was ordinary. But his will contained the might from the Battle God. Ferocious beasts and fierce birds were the most sensitive to this type of might. This was why the tiger would be so frightened that it chose to submit.

  “Anyone else?”

  Sun Mo’s voice wasn’t loud, but it clearly resounded throughout the entire Draconic Human Great Hall. Everyone had quietened down and gathered here.

  But…no one replied.

  Pak!

  Sun Mo grabbed Baxitai by his clothes and tossed him out.

  “Before learning something, learn how to be a human first. Has your teacher not taught you about this? Also, how many things have you guys learned? Actually daring to shamelessly boast and wanting a fight!”

  “If I’m not a teacher, I would have crushed all your heads today!”

  Sun Mo coldly snorted as he scolded them.

  Alage and his comrades immediately shifted their eyes away when they saw Sun Mo looking over. There was no solution to it. They couldn’t afford to offend him!

  Sigh!

  They had really rammed their toes into an iron board this time around.

  “The few of you, go and kneel at the entrance of the Dragon Subduing Palace and face the walls for three days!”

  Sun Mo punished them.

  “Based on what?”

  A youth was unhappy. Doing such a thing was too embarrassing.

  “Go. Face. The. Wall!”

  Sun Mo pronounced each word separately.

  Bzz!

  Profound Words were activated. When the light shone on the youths, Sun Mo’s instructions were enforced.

  “What’s going on? Why is it so noisy?”

  The sounds of hurried footsteps rang out. After that, a man clad in great teacher robes pushed apart the crowd and appeared in this place.

  The person in the lead was a young man with a heroic bearing. He had a tiger back and a bear waist and was nine feet tall. There were three stars sewed on the school emblem in front of his chest.

  “Teacher Xiao!”

  When they saw Xiao Di, the few youths immediately started crying.

  Xiao Di had a heavy look on his face. He immediately brandished the whip on his waist and whipped out.

  Pak, pak, pak!

  The whip landed on the bodies of the few youths and directly tattered their clothes, causing various swellings.

  “Guys of our great Dragon Subduing Academy would rather die in battle than cry and beg for mercy!”

  Xiao Di scolded.

  “Teacher Sun, these people are all from the hawk faction*. You have to be careful.”

  Duanmu Li warned.

  Xiao Di’s group had no way to stop the headmaster from recruiting people from the Central Plains. So, they would always find opportunities to provoke and make them lose face to the point where they felt embarrassed to continue staying here.

  Sun Mo activated Divine Sight.

  Xiao Di, ninth level of Divine Force Realm. 3-star great teacher. His cultivation art is the Great Solar Evil Destroying Art, an inferior saint-tier cultivation art. Its destructive might is outstanding.

  Potential value: Extremely high.

  Note: This guy is fierce and ruthless, having characteristics akin to wolves in the wilderness.

  “What’s your name?”

  Xiao Di asked. Sun Mo’s gaze caused him to feel very uncomfortable because there was too much penetrating force.

  “Sun Mo!”

  Sun Mo’s alias was this as well. So he didn’t need to worry about exposing his identity.

  “Teacher Sun, when a student commits a mistake, they should be taught a lesson indeed. However, are your actions not a little too heavy?”

  Xiao Di questioned.

  “If it’s not heavy, they wouldn’t remember the lesson!”

  Sun Mo then mentally mused, (The whiplashes you just did aren’t light either). “Also, there’s no need for you to give comments about how I teach students.”

  “Is this fellow crazy? He actually argued with Teacher Xiao? He would surely be beaten to death.”

  “It’s so good that we can see Teacher Xiao’s divine art again.”

  “You are thinking too much. Against such an opponent, Teacher Xiao didn’t need to act personally.”

  The students mumbled with excited expressions. Xiao Di was famed for being a very good fighter in this school.

  “We, guys from the great Jin Country, regard experts highly and believe in the philosophy that might makes right. Since we can’t come to an agreement, let’s fight. The victor is then the correct one!”

  After Xiao Di spoke, he didn’t give Sun Mo any chance to reject. He directly turned his head. “Old Jin, go and test him out.”

  “Sun Mo? You are the one who hit the little prince yesterday?”

  Jin Yan was curious.

  “You won’t cut it. Get someone else stronger.”

  Sun Mo waggled his index finger.

  Fighting?

  He naturally wouldn’t be scared.

  Or in other words, it was good if they fought. This was especially so if he could defeat someone famous from the Dragon Subduing Academy. This way, his fame would spread even quicker.

  “What did you say?”

  Jin Yan frowned severely.

  “I’m saying you are too weak and can’t fight against me. Get someone else.”

  Sun Mo had long since looked at the data of this fellow. Seventh level of the Divine Force Realm, 27 years old. It wasn’t too bad. Sadly, this guy would definitely lose if the two of them fought.

  “Preposterous.”

  Jin Yan angrily roared, “Whether I’m weak or not, we would only know after we fought.”

  “Since you want to be embarrassed, come on then. It’s fine with me either way.”

  Sun Mo laughed. “But let’s make things clear first. This battle will be a life-and-death battle!”

  The words Sun Mo spoke caused the countenances of Xiao Di and his group to change.

  Was this person surnamed ‘Sun’ a mad man?

  [1] Hawk faction - A war hawk, or simply hawk, is a term used in politics for someone who favors war or continuing to escalate an existing conflict as opposed to other solutions.
