Chapter 256

"No! Buddy!"

It was as if Medusa had come over and cast a petrification skill.

Everyone at the scene,

without a single exception,

including Xue Xue Jiulan and Cang Cang Wuqi,

all stood frozen in place!

The entire Hongwu Mountain,

as far as the eye could see,

was completely covered in a sea of fire!

Black flames blotted out the sun, burning fiercely!

The Dark-Winged Black Dragon spread its four pairs of wings and stood in mid-air, looking like a demon dragon descending upon the world!

Not a single monster could withstand the burning of the flames for three seconds!

Some wandering carrion beasts were even swallowed by the sea of fire the moment they spawned,

not even having time to let out a scream.

"They're out! The Corrupt Walkers are out!"

"It's burning! It's burning!"

"Holy crap! The Corrupt Walkers are gone! They're gone!"

The freshmen were like neurotics, muttering to themselves, not knowing how to describe their current feelings.

A giant dragon!

This is a giant dragon!

Unparalleled output capability!

It was simply too exaggerated!

Never mind half an incense stick's time,

all the monsters were annihilated by the sea of fire the moment they appeared.

In less than five minutes,

the dungeon was over.

The Dark-Winged Black Dragon was teleported out without a single hair out of place.

"Pfft!"

It snorted, and compared to when it went in, there was no difference to be seen.

It was as if that apocalyptic scene just now had been a dream.

"Well done," Li Yao said with a light smile.

Hearing its master's praise,

the Dark-Winged Black Dragon lowered its dragon head—the hint could not have been more obvious!

Li Yao had no choice but to reach out and stroke its head.

Only then did the Dark-Winged Black Dragon let out a satisfied snort.

Back in the Chess Piece Space,

the students were stunned!

No,

are you telling me that the terrifying dragon race that just unleashed a hell of fire on Hongwu Mountain

is as docile as a pet cat in front of Li Yao?

Are these two things the same species?

Didn't the books say

that dragons are inherently cruel and proud, and even if a summoner is lucky enough to form a contract, they must always guard against the dragon's backlash?

So, just like those so-called experts,

they were all spouting lies, right?

"Worthy of being the number one genius of the Dragon Kingdom, I've learned something today."

Cang Cang Wuqi walked up to Li Yao, the astonishment on his face not yet fully faded.

"The two thousand three hundred contribution points will be transferred to your ID card after the ceremony ends."

"Many thanks, senior."

Li Yao was also extremely satisfied.

He hadn't expected an opening ceremony to have such an unexpected harvest!

These two thousand three hundred contribution points—

if it were him doing tasks by himself,

it would take at least several weeks.

The main thing was that high-reward contribution tasks were not easy to pick up.

Although his name had already been made,

most of what Xiao Hei could pick up were only a few dozen contribution points.

Li Yao didn't pick them up because he felt it wasted his leveling time.

It could only be said that it came without any effort.

He could directly be promoted to Deputy Team level!

It was equivalent to

opening the doors to those extremely precious dungeons of the Some Jingyu Martial Academy for him.

Perhaps,

even his leveling speed would be a notch faster!

In a good mood,

Li Yao turned to look at Hong Ling: "How is it, have you learned it?"

Hong Ling was stunned.

"Learned... haven't learned."

"Then work hard in the future," Li Yao said casually.

"Okay... okay."

Hong Ling thought of her previous behavior

and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into!

The shame was indescribable!

A Summoner growing to level 30

would have at least four summoned beasts.

A professional as powerful as Li Yao would certainly have more!

However,

he only brought out one summoned beast.

Just one!

The ten professionals who went in before them, tied together, were not the opponent of that Dragon-race creature!

Facing the monsters inside, it was all a crushing one-shot kill.

Hong Ling didn't even know

if she were to trade blows with Li Yao,

she might not even be able to draw her blade against that Dragon-race creature!

Just the aura alone would be enough to pin her down, unable to move!

This was no joke.

Just like when Li Yao was about to enter Hongwu Mountain,

the slight aura he inadvertently leaked when entering combat stance

was enough to make her unable to catch her breath.

If they truly entered combat, it would probably be even more exaggerated!

And she had actually gone around boasting

that she would challenge the number one genius in the country at the opening ceremony.

Perhaps,

Hong Ling gave a bitter smile,

in the hearts of those mentors, or Senior Cang, they were actually laughing at her, right?

Xue Xue Jiulan noticed Hong Ling's appearance

and glared at Li Yao irritably.

It was hard enough to produce a genius; she couldn't let this brat Li Yao ruin her.

She hurriedly spoke up:

"Alright, now I officially announce that Li Yao has become a Deputy Team-level student!"

"You are all just interns; it is normal that you cannot compare to the Deputy Team level."

"Deputy Team level?"

The freshmen were stunned.

Before entering Some Jingyu,

if one were to ask what attracted these freshmen the most,

it was nothing more than the authority of the Some Jingyu Team level!

For any dungeon in the wild, as long as it was within a certain level range, Deputy Team-level students enjoyed the highest command authority.

Even,

in places like Nancheng in Jiangzhou,

once a Deputy Team-level Some Jingyu student appeared,

even the City Lord and the Mayor would have to come out to meet them personally!

Although the four major martial academies all had this promotion model,

the Some Jingyu Martial Academy had the highest difficulty, and the rights enjoyed were also the greatest.

Many freshmen had long been yearning for it!

What did General Xue mean by this?

Little master, there is more to this chapter, please click the next page to continue reading, it gets more exciting!

How long had Li Yao been in Some Jingyu?

And he was already Deputy Team level?

Would he become Team level directly after waiting another year?

However,

everyone recalled that giant dragon from just a moment ago.

Compared to that,

it seemed

it wasn't so unacceptable?

Xue Xue Jiulan looked at Hong Ling and found that the other party's expression didn't seem to have changed.

Xue Xue Jiulan's expression was solemn.

She paused and continued:

"The path of a professional is to hone oneself."

"If you want to compare, compare with your past self!"

"Especially Hong Ling," Xue Xue Jiulan looked at Hong Ling with a smile. "I can responsibly say that among the freshmen of the Dragon Kingdom,

you are among the most outstanding batch."

"Even if you want to find a target to pursue, you must find a suitable target."

"Like Li Yao!"

"Let's not compare with him!"

"Hong Ling, it's not that you are weak, it's not that you are not strong."

Xue Xue Jiulan tapped her chin, pondered for a moment, and said:

"I'll give an example."

"You should all know the Little Sword Head of the Dragon Kingdom; even he wouldn't dare compare himself to Li Yao!"

In order to comfort the little flower of Some Jingyu,

Xue Xue Jiulan had no choice but to step on Zhang Zhang Yucheng.

Xue Xue Jiuling, standing to the side, could barely hold back her laughter.
