Chapter 687: Punching a Giant Dragon to Death (Second Update, requesting all support)

"What do you think?"

Dean Ning Wei appeared calm on the surface, but she was a little nervous inside, fearing that Li Changsheng and his companion would not agree.

Even based on the strength displayed at the National Tournament, Li Changsheng and Ning Bizhen were likely no longer inferior to Xu Wenhua; having presided over the Emperor Flowing Plasma ceremony last night, Dean Ning Wei could tell from their demeanor at the time that they must have gained something, though to what extent they had grown, she could not know.

However, according to Dean Ning Wei's guess, the two of them had very likely already surpassed Principal Xu Wenhua, becoming the existence in Langya Kingdom second only to Kings.

The Silent Forest is full of crises, and only powerful strength can ensure safety; coupled with the fact that she had witnessed Li Changsheng's consistent miracles and luck, this was the reason Dean Ning Wei ultimately chose them.

Ning Bizhen did not speak, staying quietly to the side and leaving the initiative to Li Changsheng.

When Li Changsheng's strength was inferior to Ning Bizhen's, she had never been overbearing; now that Li Changsheng was stronger than her, it went without saying.

Besides this, Ning Bizhen also had great self-awareness; she knew very well that she was thin-skinned and her personality was not assertive, making it easy for her to be taken advantage of in negotiations, which was another reason she left the initiative to Li Changsheng.

Li Changsheng did not make a choice immediately, but instead asked cheekily: "Dean, although it's not ideal to say this, some things must be put on the table. Please forgive my presumption, but may I ask what our reward will be this time?"

If it were a small favor he could help with easily, Li Changsheng would be willing to help for free, but the Ruins were near the center of the Silent Forest; not only would it waste time, but it would also carry some risks.

Li Changsheng was not a saint, and Dean Ning Wei was not his close relative, so how could he help for free?

However, although the Silent Forest is dangerous, Li Changsheng considered his strength not inferior to a New King, especially with Ning Bizhen's support; as long as they were cautious, there wouldn't be much danger.

In addition, the Yuanling Academy was well-informed and knew many inside stories, including a lot of news about the Silent Forest.

On the surface, the Silent Forest only had a few Demon Saint-level Spirit Beasts; as for whether there were Demon Emperor-level Spirit Beasts, that was hard to say, but at least Li Changsheng had not seen such news.

For self-preservation, these few Demon Saint-level Spirit Beasts took the lead in forming a loose alliance and absorbed all the Demon Beast-level Spirit Beasts in the entire Silent Forest.

That is to say, there were no Demon Emperor-level Spirit Beasts in the Silent Forest.

Even so, the surrounding countries always guarded against the Silent Forest, fearing that these guys would lose their minds and trigger a super-large Beast Tide, which would be troublesome.

Hearing Li Changsheng say this, Dean Ning Wei was not angry; after all, this was perfectly normal, and she had been prepared for it anyway.

Dean Ning Wei took a deep breath and finally proposed a plan: "How about this: given that I do not have a Ruins token, if there is a danger within the Ruins that I cannot resist personally, then I am willing to split the gains fifty-fifty with you; otherwise, you can only take thirty percent. What do you think?"

In normal exploration, thirty percent is a standard ratio, but Dean Ning Wei considered her own strength a bit weak and lacked a Ruins token; to avoid being rejected by Li Changsheng, she gave this proposal.

"Then it's settled. When do we set off?"

Li Changsheng did not haggle, as Dean Ning Wei's distribution plan was already very good, and she didn't even ask for priority selection rights.

"Although that place is hidden, there is inevitably a risk of being discovered. Better to do it sooner than later; let's go now!"

"Fine!"

Li Changsheng and Ning Bizhen looked at each other and agreed to Dean Ning Wei's decision.

Not long after, the three of them used the convenience of the Teleportation Array and appeared directly in the Li Family Manor.

After leaving the family, Li Changsheng and Ning Bizhen sat on Dean Ning Wei's Flying Dragon Carriage and headed toward the Silent Forest.

Compared to Li Changsheng's carriage, Dean Ning Wei's Flying Dragon Carriage was not just one grade lower; it only had three flying dragons pulling it.

However, this could also appear low-key.

There was no help for it; originally, three thirty-meter-long dragons were conspicuous enough, and now that the black dragon had become a Demon Beast, it went without saying.

To put it in one sentence, it was like a bright lamp in the dark night, far too conspicuous.

This time, the three decided to sneak into the location of the Ruins.

It only took about ten minutes before the Silent Forest was visible in the distance.

Last year, Li Changsheng and Ning Bizhen killed the Demon Beast-level black dragon Hei Long Harikuchi together in the Silent Forest.

Compared to the last time he came to the Silent Forest, Li Changsheng could be described as being in a completely different league.

At that time, Li Changsheng had just broken through to the Fifth Rank, but now he had become a Pseudo-King, and if not for the limitation of his Mental Power, he could even attempt to break through to King.

Although Ning Bizhen's strength increase was not as great as Li Changsheng's, she had also made significant progress.

As long as the two joined forces, even facing a siege of three or four Demon Saint-level Spirit Beasts or fewer than twenty Demon Beast-level Spirit Beasts would be no problem.

If they encountered unavoidable danger, the two could still resist or retreat by burning their Demon Pet's Bloodline; moreover, Li Changsheng had life-saving items like the Substitute Doll, the Butterfly Love Flower, and the Dangkang Necklace.

Under Dean Ning Wei's direction, the Flying Dragon Carriage did not stop at all, rushing straight into the Silent Forest and flying toward the southwest.

Li Changsheng had never entered from this direction; what he was familiar with were the territories of the Demon Beast-level red dragon, the Bronze Behemoth, the Golden Lion, and the original Demon Beast-level black dragon Hei Long Harikuchi.

During this process, the three restrained their respective auras, maintaining their momentum at the level of a Fifth-tier Beastmaster.

Along the way, Li Changsheng projected his Mental Power, never forgetting to look for high-quality Spirit Beasts.

After a quarter of an hour, the Flying Dragon Carriage began to leave the outskirts of the Silent Forest and enter the hinterland.

"Ahead is the territory of the five-headed bird Beintan; let's go around from here!"

Dean Ning Wei had no intention of forcing her way through, and Li Changsheng and his companion did not object; after all, more trouble is worse than less, and it could also avoid alerting the enemy.

Li Changsheng had seen records about the five-headed bird Beintan in a book; Beintan possessed a Concentrated Grade Nine Phoenix Bloodline, was suspected of having top-tier quality, and coupled with the Limb Regeneration trait, it could be said to be a quite troublesome Demon Beast-level Spirit Beast.

Roar～

Just as the Flying Dragon Carriage began to detour, suddenly, a low Dragon Roar sounded, and a huge black shadow rushed toward them.

When the sound rang out, the pupils of the three flying dragons contracted sharply, their bodies trembled subconsciously, and they let out terrified cries.

This was an adult green dragon, about 24 meters long; its green Dragon Scale was similar in color to the forest, which could provide a certain degree of concealment.

The green dragon did not launch an attack immediately; instead, it landed on a large tree far away, looking out into the distance. It ignored the trembling flying dragons and stared at the three people on the carriage.

Among the Five-Colored Dragon, there is a saying: red dragons are arrogant, blue dragons are conceited, green dragons are cautious, black dragons are insidious, and white dragons are stupid.

If an opponent looks cunning or hard to defeat, a green dragon will track them for a while to find the best time and tactics for an attack. If an opponent looks weak, the green dragon will appear directly, using "Intimidation" or "Suggestion" to control humanoid creatures and force out the information they want.

At first glance, this green dragon could feel that the three were not to be trifled with; judging from the momentum they faintly exuded, all were Fifth-tier Beastmasters.

Even against a newly promoted Fifth-tier Beastmaster, the green dragon did not have much chance of winning, let alone against three people; how was that any different from running over to die?

Because of this, the green dragon began to lose its nerve.

"Be careful, ten miles ahead is the territory of the Demon Beast-level green dragon Alexia; this green dragon is likely its offspring!"

Dean Ning Wei had clearly investigated the information nearby and couldn't help but give a cautious reminder.

With her strength, she naturally dared not provoke Demon Beast-level Spirit Beasts, simply because most Demon Beast-level Spirit Beasts had a large number of dependents; moreover, provoking one could potentially provoke nearby Demon Beast-level Spirit Beasts.

The Demon King-level and Demon Saint-level Spirit Beasts in the Silent Forest are relatively clannish and have formed a loose alliance; for instance, when Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen killed the Demon King-level Hei Long Harikuchi last time, several nearby Demon King-level Spirit Beasts arrived one after another to provide assistance.

"Since you've come, then stay!"

As Li Zhangsheng spoke, his figure suddenly vanished.

By the time he reappeared, he was eerily standing on the Green Dragon's head.

The Green Dragon's dragon pupils suddenly constricted, feeling that something was wrong, and it hurriedly shook its head with force, wanting to throw Li Zhangsheng off.

Unfortunately, Li Zhangsheng was like someone stepping on solid ground; his feet seemed to be glued to the Green Dragon's head, rendering the Green Dragon's efforts futile.

Seeing that it was ineffective, the Green Dragon hurriedly swung its thick, long Dragon Tail, and a shrill sound of breaking air rang out as it lashed toward Li Zhangsheng.

Unexpectedly, Li Zhangsheng had no intention of dodging at all; instead, he smashed a fist toward the Dragon Tail.

Compared to the thick, long Dragon Tail, Li Zhangsheng's fist was undoubtedly far too small, yet the result was that he not only resisted the Dragon Tail but smashed it away in one blow, giving one an absurd feeling.

Li Zhangsheng's physical body was comparable to a King, so how could an ordinary giant dragon compare to it?

The Green Dragon only felt a sharp pain coming from its Dragon Tail, as if the tail had been broken, and it could not help but let out a painful Dragon Roar.

"How is this possible!"

The Green Dragon could not fathom why such a tiny body could contain such astonishing power.

But before the Green Dragon could continue to act, Li Zhangsheng raised his right fist and threw another punch; a shrill sonic boom rang out, and this time it smashed fiercely onto the Green Dragon's head.

Boom—

The Green Dragon had no time to react before it felt a pain deep into its marrow coming from its head; it could not help but widen its Longyan, which were covered in bloodshot veins, and its massive dragon body could not help but fall toward the ground involuntarily.

Boom—

A violent roaring sound resounded, and the Green Dragon smashed heavily onto the ground, leaving behind a large pit.

Li Zhangsheng's entire arm was submerged into the Green Dragon's head; he gave his arm a slight jolt, and the Green Dragon beneath him trembled violently before it no longer had any signs of life.

The Green Dragon, dead!
