128 â Must have ambition!
Students started murmuring and whispering to their neighbours, thinking that Yang Xiaohu taught something wrong.
If the tear of the dragon king is really second in the sacred weapon list, then who would be able to slay a dragon in this world? Are the legends of the dragon slayer that they heard when they were young, true? The dragon warriors, that seemed within reach, really exist?
Yang Xiaohu understood what they were thinking. He breathed a light sigh before he explained: âDragons are the most powerful creature in the world. Compared to humans they have an incomparably long life span, they possess the magical ability to overturn the seas and cause storms. Dragons can be big or small, can fly or conceal themselves. Big dragons can soar to the sky and swallow clouds; small dragons can change form and hide. The can soar to anywhere in the universe or hide within waves. In ancient times, they were the most powerful masters of the divine continent. The roar of the dragon echoes to the ninth heaven and hordes of demons bow their head to themâ-They have the ability to destroy mankind. Wipe out the entire human race. Thatâs why people always wanted to slay dragons, because it is only when dragons are extinct that humans could live at ease for eternity on these lands. This has nothing to do with grudges, feelings or resentment, but purely for survival.â
âHumans live together in groups, while dragons are divided into social groups. Dragons are independent but also sociable creature, they share caves to reside in and divide land to rule. Although they are united, they have a strict hierarchy. Among the dragons, there is a king that leads them. He is what we call the dragon king or the dragon godââDragon king is their boss, also their spiritual leader. Every dragon king was the most powerful dragon of them all, and also the most intelligent of the dragons.â
âThe tear of the dragon king is not an ordinary tear; rather the power and wisdom of the king compressed into the soul before he dies and then released through the eyes. Itâs a crystal-clear liquid that looks like a crystalââitâs not just a drop of tear, it represents a gigantic dragon, the dragon king, itâs majesty. If you have the tear of the dragon king, it is equal to having the dragon king battling alongside you. The tear of the dragon king being second is well-deservedâââ
âTear of the dragon kingâââ Li Muyang muttered. âTear of the dragon kingâââ
âTeacher Yang, where can I find the dragon kingâs tear?â Tie Muxin asked, his eyes gleaming and his face flushing. So looking forward, so exciting, if I could obtain the dragon kingâs tear, inherit the ability of the dragon kingââwould I not be invincible in this world? What windborne list, what blue cloud list, what Starry Sky list, I would be the strongest in the entire Starry Skyââ
âTeacher Yang, when was the last time the dragon kingâs tear was seen? And in whose hands?â Lin Canghai was bursting with excitement. The dragon king is said to possess countless secret collection of books and mastered numerous secret techniques. Each dragon king has a hidden treasure, inheriting the dragon kingâs tear is the same as inheriting the treasures that are handed downââthere must be plenty of mysterious swords passed down? There must be sword techniques unknown to us, even thinking about it makes peopleâs blood racing.
Lin Canghai loves swords like itâs his life, loves sword technique like heâs crazy. His attention was entirely on the dragon kingâs treasure, the swords and sword techniques, as for the other rare treasures he did not care in the slightest.
âTeacher Yang, hurry tell usâ-weâre really curious.â Qiandu smiled abruptly and said.
Seeing everyone enjoying his class, Yang Xiaohu was beaming ear to ear.
His triangular eyes scanned the audience, his lips curved into a smile. âI donât know.â
âWhat? Teacher Yang, how would you not know?â
âTeacher Yang, youâre not hiding something again, right?â
âTeacher Yang, why donât you just take out the [Treasures and Weapons] book for us to see, we could look at it together.â
ââ
Yang Xiaohu shook his head in refusal: âYou guys canât see the [Treasures and Weapons] book for now, but Starry Sky library has an abundant collection of books, you can go and borrow some to readââHowever, even if you read [Treasures and Weapons], itâs useless, because it wonât answer your questions. It does not state the last appearance of the weapons, or whose hands it appeared inââ-Think about it, finding a dragon is already difficult. Let alone search for a drop of tear of the dragon kingââitâs several thousands times more difficult than fishing a needle from the sea, right?â
Everyone slumped to the bench.
âIt seems thereâs no hope.â
âExactly, where can I find a drop of tear? Even if we could see it, how would we know itâs the dragon kingâs tearâââ
âForget it, I will go and search for the frightening dragon bow instead, this is the easiest on the list, the other sacred weapons probably only exist in the legendsââ No one could find it in millions of years, how would we be so lucky?â
âââ-
âExactly.â Li Muyang said aloud. âI donât have any expectation. Whether itâs the frightening dragon bow or the weak water soul, or even the tear of the dragon king, I donât have any hopes. As long as I receive a somewhat sharp sword, I would be happy.â
Yang Xiaohu felt Li Muyangâs attitude was not desirable and did not radiate a young manâs enthusiasm and vitality. ç¾å°èè¦ºå¾æç§ç¾çå¿æ ä¸å¯åï¼æ²æä¸é»å å¹´è¼äººçä¸é²å¿åææ°£ã
He looked at Li Muyang and said with a stern face: âStudent Muyang, if a man does not have a dream, then whatâs the difference between a man and a rotting fish? You must have ambition, ifââI mean what if one of these days you obtained one of the three sacred weapons? Only if you search for it, then it would fall into your arms. You donât even have the faith to chase after it, how would the sacred weapons fall into your arms by themselves?â
Li Muyang nodded. âTeacher Yang is right. From now on, Iâll just dream of acquiring all three weapons one day.â
Everyone burst into laughter, thinking that Li Muyang is a lunatic for taking them as idiots.
Acquiring all three sacred weapons, is he sleep-talking again?
The class ended, and the students dispersed slowly.
Lu Qiji, with her head held high, was first in front. Chu Xun closely followed behind, everyone knows heâs a diehard fan of Lu Qiji.
After Qiandu greeted the classmates one by one, she trotted along beside Li Muyang and said with a smile: âMuyang classmate, where are you going now?â
âI want to go to the Starry Sky library to take a look.â Li Muyang said aloud.
âI see.â Qiandu said, her eyes squinted into the shape of a crescent. âThen weâll go together. I also want to go to the library to look up some information.â
âBig sister, can I come with you?â Standing beside Qiandu, Lin Canghai asked expectantly. âå§
âOf course you can.â Qiandu answered.
âIâm not going to the library, my head is dizzy whenever I see books, Iâll doze off while readingââ-â Tie Muxin said with a painful expression on his face. âI might as well go and look around the campus. I just arrived at Starry Sky Academy, Iâm not too familiar with this place yet.â
âIâll come with you.â Cai Pa, who has stayed quiet all this time, said aloud.
It wasnât until all the students left that Yang Xiaohu could relax his back that was kept straight all along. As a teacher, he has to maintain the dignity and imposing manner in front of the students. To persist for so long really is not easy.
He walked down the giant stone steps and just as he was tidying his hat and clothes dishevelled by the strong wind, sensing something behind, he twisted around, instantly bowed deeply to a small and thin figure and said: âDean, why did you come?â
âThat Li Muyangâ-â A deep voice slowly sounded over, asking: âis not bad, right?â
