Chapter 596: There Are Several Kinds of Dragons, Each with a Different Personality

The Azure Wind Dragon left the examination ground.

A blaze of fire lit up in the sky, and a red giant dragon spewing flames descended from the air.

Its voice carried the scorching heat of fire, crisp and decisive: "First round, third trial. Survive under my attacks for three minutes to pass."

"According to the rules, my attack power will not exceed Divine Power Level 77."

"In ten seconds, the trial begins."

Its personality seemed just like fire—impetuous and hasty.

Its words carried the implication of wanting to finish quickly so it could go back to sleep.

Traces of drowsiness still lingered in its enormous dragon eyes, clearly having just woken up not long ago.

It seemed all giant dragons loved to sleep, even beings like Antares.

Ten seconds later, just like the Azure Dragon and Green Dragon, it spat out dragon breath.

It directly raised its attack power to the Divine Power Level 77 tier, leaving no leeway whatsoever.

In terms of difficulty, it seemed even harder than before.

The entire examination ground turned into a sea of fire, with nowhere to escape.

All three trials were like this; the examinee could only endure head-on.

It couldn't be said that it was purely head-on endurance—you couldn't fly, but you could jump.

Warrior-class professionals could continuously leap high into the air, thereby reducing the time they were attacked and greatly alleviating the pressure.

However, Jiang Chen also believed that if he jumped, these giant dragons would certainly have countermeasures.

They weren't just decorations; they wouldn't let anyone exploit loopholes.

Jiang Chen neither dodged nor evaded, standing amidst the flames as his Bone Armor gleamed brightly, letting the fire burn him.

Relying solely on Bone Armor, he could actually pass the trial.

Jiang Chen didn't plan to make a move this time.

After spouting a single breath of dragon fire, the red one stopped moving. Unlike Jiang Chen, it was simply too lazy to move.

Its eyes were slightly narrowed, looking as if it wanted to sleep again.

One man and one dragon, big eyes staring at small eyes—you don't move, and I don't move.

Under the continuous scorching of the flames, cracks kept appearing in the Bone Armor.

After holding out for thirty seconds, the Bone Armor shattered with a crisp crack.

However, Jiang Chen quickly replenished another Bone Armor for himself, almost seamlessly chaining them.

The newly formed Bone Armor once again emitted a pure, dazzling light, very captivating.

The Red Dragon still only gave Jiang Chen a faint glance, showing no reaction to his actions at all.

It was truly lazy—too lazy to move.

The feeling it gave Jiang Chen was more like someone going through the motions according to regulations, unwilling to do any extra work or say any extra words.

And so, after Jiang Chen continuously replenished his Bone Armor several times, the three minutes were up.

The red one directly sucked all the flames back in without a second's delay, while grumbling, "Alright, next!"

It really had the vibe of wanting to finish the job quickly and go home to sleep.

Jiang Chen was amused; this red dragon seemed a bit fun.

Each giant dragon had its own personality. The Green Poison Dragon talked a bit too much and had some hostility toward the Human Race.

The Azure Wind Dragon was somewhat warlike but bore no ill will toward the Human Race.

The Red Fire Dragon was crisp and efficient, clearly wanting to finish the job quickly and go back to sleep.

This was the impression these giant dragons gave Jiang Chen—each one had a distinct personality.

Urged on by the Red Dragon, a blue Ice Dragon covered in blue light and radiating chill descended from the sky.

The Red Dragon also instantly distanced itself, vanishing from the sky in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Chen looked up at the sky; the Void Suppression Effect here seemed ineffective against the giant dragons.

Thick clouds densely covered the sky, blocking the view, making it impossible to see what was behind them.

As the blue Ice Dragon descended, the temperature plummeted.

The Fire Dragon had previously scorched heaven and earth, raising the temperature very high.

But now the temperature suddenly dropped; the shift from hot to cold was extremely uncomfortable.

The drastic temperature change also made Jiang Chen feel unwell, and he furrowed his brow slightly without meaning to.

"Little human friend, feeling a bit uncomfortable, are you?"

The blue Ice Dragon's voice rang out.

Jiang Chen was startled—it was a female voice.

This was a female dragon. Oh no, a she-dragon.

Her voice was somewhat gentle and rather pleasant, not as deafening as the previous giant dragons.

Jiang Chen said, "Thank you for your concern, esteemed Blue Dragon."

Based on the information he had gathered earlier, Jiang Chen already knew how to address them.

Unfortunately, it seemed he was wrong again.

The blue giant dragon said softly, "I am not called Blue Dragon. You may call me Frost Giant Dragon, or you can call me by my name, Ellie."

"Alright, esteemed Miss Ellie." He hadn't expected the dragon to have a name, so Jiang Chen had to change his address.

Ellie shook her head again, "I am not a missus; I am not yet married. You should call me miss."

So many rules, even fussing over such a small detail.

Suddenly, the Red Dragon's voice came from the sky, "Ellie, stop with all the nonsense! Hurry up with the trial! I still need to go back to sleep!"

Ai Li sighed, "This guy is just that impatient. Fine, fine, then let's begin the assessment."

"Human Race youngster, you must endure for four minutes under my attack."

"My attack will not exceed Level 78."

"If you can't hold out, remember to surrender verbally; don't force it and hurt yourself."

It kindly reminded Jiang Chen.

A red voice sounded from the sky, "Surrender? No way, if you could speak up there would be a Ghost!"

Ai Li, a bit displeased, lifted her head, "Please shut your mouth."

Though somewhat displeased, her tone remained gentle.

That manner was more a complaint than a rebuke.

When the sky fell silent, Ai Li finally said to Jiang Chen, "The assessment begins in ten seconds, Human Race youngster, please be ready."

Ai Li gave Jiang Chen the feeling of a caring older sister from next door.

Ten seconds later, Ai Li spoke again, "I'm about to start."

After waiting another two seconds, it finally began to exhale dragon breath.

Even the expelled dragon breath was very gentle.

The pale‑blue dragon breath, laced with cold, slowly spread to cover the entire assessment arena.

Just this process already took nearly half a minute.

One eighth of the assessment time had passed.

It could be said that Ai Li was going easy.

The dragon breath seemed weak, about Level 75 in strength, roughly the same as the poisonous dragon breath of the Green Dragon at the start.

The Bone Armor glowed and easily blocked the dragon breath.

The huge assessment arena formed a thick layer of ice; Ai Li continuously and gently exhaled dragon breath, its power steadily rising while the temperature kept dropping.

The rate of decline was steady, revealing Ai Li's precisely unparalleled control over the power.

The whole process was understated, appearing very mild.

Yet only Jiang Chen, who was inside, knew that beneath the seemingly gentle surface danger lurked everywhere.

The temperature must have already dropped below minus 100 degrees, enough to freeze a person into ice instantly.

Among the four giant dragons, Ai Li's trial was the hardest.

He also understood why the Red Dragon said that if one could speak to beg mercy, there would be a Ghost.

If frozen, one could not possibly speak.

Truly, begging for mercy is nonsense.

The Bone Armor cracked from the low temperature, and this time it lasted only a brief 15 seconds.

That's half the duration compared to before in the Red Dragon's flames.

Although Level 78 and Level 77 differ by only one level, the damage increases exponentially.

At the moment the Bone Armor shattered, Jiang Chen felt a piercing cold.

The status immunity Skill took effect, and Jiang Chen was not affected by the freezing at all.

The damage generated instantly was also completely transferred.

Jiang Chen felt the cold faintly, gaining a clear understanding of the Level 78 attack; he released the Bone Armor again, shielding against the chill.

With a Bone Armor lasting every 15 seconds, Jiang Chen deployed it in a seamless chain.

Ai Li did not go easy; she kept the dragon breath at Level 78 throughout.

Curiosity in its eyes, it said, "Human Race youngster, you are impressive."

Jiang Chen said, "Esteemed Miss Ai Li, you are also impressive."

"Thank you for the compliment!" Ai Li let out a giggly, coquettish laugh; just from the sound one could never guess she was a dragon, and would think she was some lady's miss.

The four minutes passed quickly, and Ai Li immediately withdrew the cold.

The frost on the assessment arena vanished instantly, returning to normal.

Ai Li did not leave; instead she said to Jiang Chen, "Congratulations, you passed the first four stages of the first round assessment. If you pass one more assessment, you will complete the first round!"

"However, the fifth assessment is a bit harder and also somewhat dangerous; you need to be prepared."

"If danger arises, call a stop immediately, and we will halt promptly."

Jiang Chen heard the keyword: "we."

It seems the fifth assessment does not involve a single dragon, but multiple dragons together.

Sure enough, just after Ai Li finished speaking, the clouds rolled in the sky and several giant dragons descended from above.

Green Dragon, Azure Dragon, Red Dragon, and the blue Azure Dragon Ai Li each took a corner of the assessment arena, surrounding Jiang Chen in the middle.
