Chapter 595: Where Are There So Many Dragons? The Elemental Dragon Was Startled
Endure for one minute under the green dragon's attack.
Jiang Chen almost blurted out, "That easy?"
He had originally thought he needed to defeat the green dragon, but it seems the assessment's difficulty isn't as high as he imagined.
The ten‑second countdown ended quickly, and the green dragon spewed a blast of dragon breath toward Jiang Chen.
Its breath didn't bring a scorching heat; instead it was laced with potent poison.
Jiang Chen sensed the aura, furrowed his brow, and said, "Poison?"
Seeing Jiang Chen frown, the green dragon assumed he couldn't hold out and let out a deafening laugh, "Human Race brat, if you can't stand it, just say so—don't force it."
"If you force yourself to death, don't blame this dragon."
After the remark, it breathed another blast, intensifying the poison.
The poison spread across the Combat Platform; here one cannot fly and there is nowhere to escape.
For other practitioners, the only option is to tough it out.
Enduring for a minute is neither clearly hard nor clearly easy.
But Jiang Chen.
Standing amid the poisonous dragon breath, Jiang Chen remained calm; beyond the initial frown, he showed no reaction at all.
The green dragon stared in bewilderment, "What ghost?"
It breathed again, the poison now denser, already reaching the Level 75 limit.
A little more strength would break the Level 75 boundary.
The Dragon King Hall has rules that the green dragon cannot violate.
Manipulating things behind the scenes isn't that easy either.
Jiang Chen still gave no response, simply standing quietly in the toxic gas, waiting for the time to pass.
He is 100% immune to poison; even the God‑level toxin cannot harm him, let alone the green dragon's modest poison.
A minute passed in the blink of an eye.
The green dragon, puzzled, inhaled deeply, absorbing all the poison in the arena, then oddly shouted, "What ghost are you, kid?"
Jiang Chen gave a slight smile, "Thank you, Your Majesty the Dragon King, for sparing me."
When the green dragon exhaled earlier, a trace of aura leaked out.
Jiang Chen sensed it and confirmed it had indeed reached Divine Level.
According to Dragon Race rules, reaching Divine Level makes one a Dragon King, so Jiang Chen called it Dragon King.
Moreover, this place is called the Dragon King Hall Instance, so calling it Dragon King should be correct.
Unexpectedly, the green dragon hummed, "I am not one of those low‑grade goods of the Dragon Race; I am a colossal dragon—do you understand what a colossal dragon is?"
Jiang Chen heard the disdain in the green dragon's words.
Antares once said that the Human Race is superior to the Dragon Race.
As for where the superiority lies, Antares did not elaborate.
If the Human Race is superior, then the Dragon Race is inferior.
This is the second time hearing such words; the green dragon also calls the Dragon Race low‑grade goods, full of contempt.
"Then how should I address you," Jiang Chen asked.
The green dragon replied, "I am a branch of the elemental colossal dragons. As for my name, you have no right to know it yet. You may call me Green Dragon, or, if you wish, Green Dragon Lord."
Although the green dragon initially disliked the Human Race, it now seems to acknowledge him.
After all, Jiang Chen passed its assessment.
"Lord? Even Antares never called Jiang Chen 'Lord'; what right does this green dragon have?"
Jiang Chen said directly, "May I ask what my next assessment is?"
The green dragon announced loudly, "You passed the first round, first stage. The second assessment begins immediately. Stay here; your assessment will start soon."
Saying that, the green dragon flew away from the assessment platform, soaring into the distance and vanishing from sight in an instant.
Soon after, a faint call from the green dragon echoed from afar.
"Stop sleeping!"
"Wake up quickly, scram, someone's entered the Instance!"
"Go to the assessment, or the Dragon God Lord will bite you to death!"
Jiang Chen listened closely; the fellow seemed to be waking someone up.
And faintly he also heard "Dragon God Lord."
Jiang Chen felt he hadn't misheard.
"Is this to call someone?"
Moments later, a sudden gale rose as a teal colossal dragon roared from the distance, faster than the green dragon.
The dragon was enveloped by the Wind Element, looking half‑asleep.
Jiang Chen recognized the teal dragon; like the green dragon, it is also an elemental colossal dragon, possessing the Wind Element attribute.
"No wonder we sensed such chaotic elemental aura outside the Instance earlier; it's the interweaving of these elemental colossal dragons."
"A poisonous‑element green dragon, a wind‑element teal dragon—could there also be fire, water, or electric element colossal dragons?"
While Jiang Chen was still speculating, the teal wind dragon rubbed its eyes and yawned, "You're the one who obtained the Dragon King Certificate."
It was clearly not fully awake, still a bit dazed.
However, it didn't seem to dislike the Human Race, unlike the green dragon.
Jiang Chen tried, "How should I address you?"
The teal wind dragon yawned again, summoning a strong gust, "You may call me Azure Dragon or Wind Dragon, whichever you prefer; after all, a name is just a code."
This fellow seems easier to talk to, Jiang Chen tried again, asking, "If there are two wind dragons, how should I address them?"
The blue wind dragon swayed its massive head, "There aren't that many wind dragons; we'd have died long ago…"
At that point it suddenly closed its mouth, as if clearing its mind, its gaze turning a bit hostile as it stared at Jiang Chen, "Things you shouldn't know, don't ask."
"Now your assessment will begin. If you can endure my attack for two minutes, you pass the test."
"Don't worry, according to the rules I will keep the attack within Level 76, not exceeding the limit."
The time was extended by one minute, and the attack intensity rose from Level 75 to Level 76.
For other practitioners, this Difficulty actually increases quite a lot.
After Level 70, each additional level creates a huge gap.
Moreover, you have to endure an extra minute.
But for Jiang Chen, it makes no difference.
Jiang Chen suddenly asked, "Can I strike back?"
The Azure Dragon gave Jiang Chen a glance, "As you wish! The assessment starts in ten seconds; be ready."
It didn't say you couldn't strike back, but it didn't believe Jiang Chen was capable of doing so.
Ten seconds later, it opened its mouth and, like the Green Dragon, exhaled a blast of dragon breath.
Dragon breath is also the Dragon Race's most common attack method.
The blue dragon breath spewed forth, and a gale suddenly rose.
Terrifying wind, like a divine weapon, cut across and struck Jiang Chen.
Bone Armor glittered, blocking the attack.
The Level 70 Bone Armor, with an 80× Amplify, equates to a defense of 560,000 constitution.
It proved more than adequate when facing dragon breath.
The Azure Dragon was slightly startled, then couldn't help but exhale dragon breath again.
The gale grew even fiercer, and the Bone Armor shone even brighter.
At this point the attack had reached Level 76, close to the rule's upper limit.
The Azure Dragon felt a bit unwilling; given Jiang Chen's current state, passing its assessment would be very easy.
It prepared to push harder, raising the attack power a bit more to reach the true upper realm.
Just as it opened its mouth, a flash of White Light suddenly lit up.
The Azure Dragon instantly felt a chilling sensation and snapped its mouth shut.
The White Light came too fast; it and Jiang Chen were too close, even it couldn't dodge in time.
A Bone Spear, with astonishing tearing force, struck it.
It hit like a metal plate, emitting a booming "Bang!"
The Bone Spear lingered on it for a moment before vanishing.
The Azure Dragon lowered its head to the spot struck by the Bone Spear and saw a tiny crack appear on its sturdy Dragon Scale.
The Azure Dragon was shocked, staring at Jiang Chen in disbelief.
I am a Divine Level giant dragon, and although I'm not the strongest defensively among elemental dragons, I'm still a Divine Level giant dragon.
The Level 70 Human Race youngster before me can even scar my Dragon Scale with a tiny fissure.
That shows Jiang Chen's Skill level has already exceeded Level 85.
And judging by his demeanor, it was just a casual strike, with no full force applied.
The Azure Dragon realized Jiang Chen was no ordinary opponent.
But on second thought, anyone who can obtain a Dragon King Certificate wouldn't be a simple sort.
Such a person cannot have their strength measured by level.
No wonder they remain calm when facing my dragon breath, even seeming to ignore my attack.
Even asking whether they can strike back, clearly not a joke.
The Azure Dragon felt the urge to fight Jiang Chen, but bound by the rules, it could not act.
Jiang Chen made no further move, and neither did the Azure Dragon.
Two minutes passed, and the gale vanished.
In the Azure Dragon's massive eye, Jiang Chen's silhouette appeared; it stared at him, "You are impressive; we'll meet again later."
"When the time comes, I hope we can have a proper fight. I will suppress my power, but I won't hold back."
"I hope you will also give your all then, and not disappoint me."
Jiang Chen analyzed the Azure Dragon's words, realizing the assessment was more than this, and smiled faintly, "I will."
As for whether to go all out, it depends on the opponent's nature and whether it's worth giving my all.
Jiang Chen also didn't know what level his combat power would reach if he went all out now.
At least against a mid‑level Demon King like the Black Sky Demon King, I am confident I can contend.
As for beings below Level 93, I could even press them to the ground and grind them!
