Chu Xun knew Li Muyang made him to be a fool once again.
However, the embarrassment he felt couldnât be known by anyone.
He deliberately asked teacher Yang to ask me how to settle this, but after I stated my demand, he said friendships cannot be used as a dealââwhat does that mean? His friendship canât be use to make deals, but my friendships can?
Comparing his status with mines, just who does he think he is?
I am a little prince of the West Wind kingdom, a royalty. To put it bluntly, if anything was to happen to my cousin, I would have the opportunity to ascend to the throneâ-Of course, I can only secretly think of this, itâs almost impossible for it to happen. With my understanding of my uncle and cousin, they would never hand me that position. If I show the slightest desire for the throne, they will not hesitate to sentence me to death. Not even my father could stand up and defend me.
Donât tell me being friends with a prince is not as good as with a commoner?
Chu Xun has seen how crafty this guy is, he knew he lost this match but that doesnât mean he
should give up. Otherwise, it would make it look like he had lost badly.
Thus, pinning a cold glare at Li Muyang he said: âVery well. As you said, forcefully harvested melons are not sweet. Since we canât be friends, we will become lifetime rivals. You said you can withstand thirty of my sword attacks, then shall we set a date for battleâ-how about at the middle of this month?â
Li Muyang nodded. âIt doesnât matter to me.â
âVery well.â Chu Xun turned to Yang Xiaohu, saying: âTeacher Yang, me and Li Muyang mutually agreed to battle at the middle of this month. I ask Teacher Yang to allow us to do so.â
Yang Xiaohu hesitated for a moment, before he continued: âStarry Sky Academy does not restrict competition between students. It is only by practicing with each other, improving each other, that you would become a strong person. Since both of you have decided, I can only agree alongâ-However, the battle must be held at the Starry Sky practice pavilion, in which I will be the judge. Do you both have any objections?â
âThatâs fine.â Chu Xun said.
âTeacher Yang is the judge, I raise both hands in approval.â Li Muyang said, smiling: âin my heart, teacher Yang is fair and impartial. â
ââââ
Chu Xun could never bring himself to say something as shameless as those words. He couldnât say it out loud, but he extremely disliked Li Muyangâs brazen look. He thought to himself: Iâll let you be arrogant for a few more days, when the battle date is here, watch how I sever you into pieces.
With the challenge issued, Chu Xunâs anger naturally faded away for the time being.
Yang Xiaohu waved his hand. âWeâll continue the lesson. Just now, I said there are three sacred treasures effective against dragons, the first is the frightening dragon bow. Now Iâd like to talk about the second treasure, this is more powerful and also more mysterious, it first appeared in a distant eraâ-The spirit of Weak Water. First, I want to ask everyone a question, who knows what is Weak Water?â
âI know.â Tie Muxin said, raising his hand into the air. This student was very enthusiastic in class, it was clear he belongs to the âgood studentâ group. âAncient myths and legends say itâs the most evil and the most difficult body of water to cross, not even feathers could float on it and nothing could pass.â
âPretty good.â Yang Xiaohu glanced at Tie Muxin and said with an appreciative smile. âThis is the worldâs most dangerous body of water, feather canât float and no living things could cross. No matter what, it would sink immediately. If people were to fall in, they will disappear immediately. However, someone once entered the weak water, retrieved its heart and constructed it into the Spirit of Weak Water. It is said the Spirit of Weak Water can withstand against all attacks, is the strongest shield in all legends. If we could obtain this scared weapon, we could defend against the dragonsâ fire breath and frost breath attacks. Weak water soul is ranked third in the sacred weapon list in the [Treasures and Weapons] book.â
Everyone exclaimed aloud.
âTeacher Yang, is that not too exaggerated? You said the Spirit of Weak Water can withstand against all attacks, then why is it only ranked third in the sacred weapon list?â
âExactly. You just said the frightening dragon bow can destroy heavens and earth, if it was put against weak water soul then would it also not become scrap metal?â
âTeacher Yang this is contradictoryâ-like the businessmen of the Chu nation that sell shields and spears, they say their shield is incomparably solid and that no spear can pierce through. But then they also say their sharp spears are invincible, and that there are no shields that it cannot pierce through. A crowd of people asked the same question: âWhat would happen if you use your spear to jab your shield, the man did not answer.â
ââ
Yang Xiaohu said with a smile: âWhen I first read [Treasures and Weapons] I also had the same thought as you. Is frightening dragon bow more powerful or is it the Spirit of Weak Water? If frightening dragon bow was put against the Weak Water spirit, what would the outcome be? However, this was written in the [Treasures and Weapons] book, so there is bound to be a reason.â
âTeacher Yang, what is ranked first in [Treasures and Weapons]?â Lin Canghai asked curiously.
âI donât know.â Yang Xiaohu said.
âDonât know? How could you not know?â
âExactly. Teacher Yang, you said youâve read [Treasures and Weapons]?â
âTeacher Yang must be hiding something and refuses to teach usâââ
ââ
Yang Xiaohu spread his arms out helplessly: âBack then I was also very curious, I quickly turned to the first page to look at what the most powerful sacred weapon is. I found that the first page was a blank page. Not a word, nor a picture.â
âHow could that be?â
âWho wrote this book? They also do not know what is ranked first?â
âThe first is a hidden sacred treasure? It canât be known to the world?â
ââ
âTeacher Yang, you donât know the best sacred weapon, then the second strongest weapon you should know, right? Iâm curious what could be ranked higher than the frightening dragon bow and the Weak Water Spiritâ Qiandu said with a smiling face. The girlâs clear and sweet-sounding voice makes people feel comfortable like theyâre bathing in the spring breeze.
âI know whatâs second.â As expected, a smile of delight lit up Yang Xiaohuâs face, his glance shifted to Qiandu as he said: âIn second place is the tear of the Dragon King.â
âTear of the dragon king?â
The students exchanged glances with one another.
More and more mysterious, the tear of the dragon king is second in the sacred weapon list in the [Treasures and Weapons] book, even if they obtained the frightening dragon bow and the Weak Water Spirit, whatâs the use? There is still no way to slay dragons.
The moment Li Muayng heard the words âtear of the dragon kingâ, his mind was jolted.
As if the firefly he was searching for all along once again released a glimmer of light.
