“Teacher, did the Ice Morning White Dragon just use the Azure Dragon Mystics, and are those profound arts more powerful?” a student asked eagerly.

Teacher Duan Lan shook her head, her gaze falling on Zhu Minglang, mainly focusing on the white mini-dragon he held in his arms, and spoke, “As I mentioned earlier, that was an Ice Morning White Dragon. Its main bloodline is from the Azure Dragon, with the Giant Dragon as its secondary bloodline. In combat, the Ice Morning White Dragon used Wind and Ice Magic, not the Azure Dragon Mystics.”

It didn’t use profound arts??

If the main bloodline of the Ice Morning White Dragon is from the Azure Dragon, then its profound arts should be even more powerful.

That is to say, the Ice Morning White Dragon still has hidden abilities from its main bloodline!

Even so, a growth-stage Green Forest Dragon is no match for it??

That’s a bit too exaggerated!

Nan Ye was applying medicine to his Green Dragon and, hearing this, his hand slipped heavily.

The Green Forest Dragon immediately let out a mournful cry, whether it was from its juvenile spirit being struck or from the pain of Nan Ye’s hand slipping on its wound.

Zhu Minglang noticed that everyone’s eyes were all fixed on him…

He scratched his head in embarrassment.

Truth be told, Zhu Minglang himself had not noticed this detail.

It shouldn’t be that Bai Qi did not use it, but rather that it had just emerged from the Ice Pupa not long ago and its Azure Dragon Mystics had yet to awaken.

“Bai Qi didn’t know how to use Giant Dragon Magic before,” Zhu Minglang muttered to himself.

Bai Qi’s regression… It seems it’s not a simple reversal of life; it is more like a metamorphosis and rebirth!

The bloodline and bloodline lineage of the Ice Morning White Dragon is higher than that of the White Soaring Dragon. By adulthood, Bai Qi’s strength will far surpass its past!

Azure Dragon Mystics.

Bai Qi has not yet awakened the Azure Dragon Mystics. This means it will possess them by the time it reaches the growth-stage.

The nurturing process from juvenile stage to growth-stage is therefore crucial. If handled well, it could awaken an extremely powerful Azure Dragon Mystics.

If it’s not well-fed, nor cared for appropriately, the Azure Dragon Mystics might be buried forever, never to be awakened!

Usually, the abilities of the main bloodline are a bit stronger than those of the secondary bloodline. The Ice and Wind Magic demonstrated by Bai Qi are already quite remarkable, so what could its Azure Dragon Mystics be? Zhu Minglang couldn’t help feeling some anticipation!

“Not good, there’s not much honey left, and it needs to be fed for nearly a month.” Zhu Minglang suddenly realized this.

He and Little Black Tooth had worked hard to obtain a grain of Gold Sand, half of which he had spent on honey. But this honey was only enough for Bai Qi to eat for a week. Now that he knew of Bai Qi’s bloodline and bloodline lineage, Zhu Minglang thought it best to feed it spiritual food, which would be more helpful to its soon to be awakened profound arts!

“Teacher Duan Lan seems to know quite a lot about the Ice Morning White Dragon. I’ll consult her more later,” Zhu Minglang thought to himself.

Zhu Minglang had previously thought his own knowledge was sufficient and there was no need to attend classes, but now it seems that learning is endless, and he should take the opportunity to listen more in the academy.

…

Teacher Duan Lan taught with utmost seriousness, not taking things lightly, and was always ready to answer questions. Zhu Minglang also listened attentively, which was rare for him, to her analysis of Dragon Bloodlines and bloodline lineage.

Unfortunately, she did not get into the specifics of feeding and nourishing, which was probably not within the scope of today’s lesson.

As noon approached, the class finally came to an end.

As soon as the class was dismissed, Hong Hao and a few other dormitory mates gathered around.

Usually domineering and aggressive, Hong Hao wore a big smile and carried an unusual humility, though he still had an annoying demeanor.

“The moment I saw Brother Zhu, I knew he was a cut above the rest. Just a little probing proved me right—compared to Brother Zhu, what’s a Nan Ye, what’s a Green Dragon? They’re practically a disgrace to our Qinfeng Court dorm!” Hong Hao praised effusively.

Zhu Minglang gave a warm but distant smile and hastily followed in the direction Teacher Duan Lan had left.

“Brother Zhu, I, Hong Hao, will take care of cleaning both your back and front rooms from now on, and if there’s anything else you need, just let your brother know. Being in the same residence is fate!!” Hong Hao shouted energetically at Zhu Minglang’s retreating figure.

After shouting, Hong Hao slapped Li Shaoying heavily on the shoulder, squeezed it emphatically, and said with a smile, “Li Shaoying, oh Li Shaoying, you want to climb up the ranks with Nan Ye, huh? Trying to disrupt the unity of the residence, so you’re now in charge of making all the floors in our rooms shine.”

Li Shaoying was on the verge of tears.

Zhu Minglang, if you had such an incredible dragon, why did you appear more destitute than me on the day of enrollment!

And that clueless act you put on in the Reserve Dragon Storage Hall… it was so convincing!…

The woods, a color of maple yellow; the path, ink-black; Teacher Duan Lan didn’t ride the academy’s provided Flying Bird Pseudo-Dragon but walked leisurely with the book used for today’s lesson in her arms.

Zhu Minglang hurried forward but, by chance, a man had already approached Teacher Duan Lan and was speaking with her.

For a moment, Zhu Minglang didn’t know whether to interrupt or not, but Teacher Duan Lan noticed him, turned around, and asked, “Is there anything from the class that was not clear, student Zhu Minglang?”

Zhu Minglang was overjoyed and quickly stepped forward.

He looked at the man dressed in a silk brocade long gown; from his attire, it seemed he was also a teacher.

“I’m still somewhat confused about feeding…” said Zhu Minglang.

Teacher Duan Lan listened attentively, and the silk-brocade man showed the demeanor of a superior, waiting quietly, without interrupting.

“This season, there’s a kind of Frost Snow Tree Flower. The honey from these flowers is more suitable for the growth of your dragon, but it’s a bit difficult to gather because there are often large swarms of Bee Monsters around the Frost Snow Tree Flower. You could consider spending some gold and silver to hire others to do it,” suggested Teacher Duan Lan.

Zhu Minglang gave a wry smile.

What he lacked the most was gold and silver!

“Teacher, I’m poor. Is there an alternative?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“I have some, but even as your teacher, I can’t simply give it to you for nothing. How about this—I’ll bring some Dragon Shepherd Students to Rong Valley City to create rain soon. You help me with some miscellaneous tasks, and a jar of Frost Snow Tree Flower Honey will be your reward,” said Teacher Duan Lan.

Summoning clouds and rain to nourish all beings, that’s Azure Dragon Mystics!

Teacher Duan Lan’s strength was not ordinary.

“Alright, alright,” Zhu Minglang hastily nodded, as this was more than perfect!

The Frost Snow Tree Flower Honey was sure to be more expensive than ordinary honey, and Zhu Minglang was just worrying about where to earn some money.

“Follow me; if you need it urgently, I can get it for you now,” said Teacher Duan Lan to Zhu Minglang. After speaking, Teacher Duan Lan smiled slightly and politely said to the silk-brocade man, “Teacher Ke Bei, I will consider what you have said. I need to get something for my student first.”

“Sure, alright,” Teacher Ke Bei responded elegantly.

Zhu Minglang maintained the respect a student should show, bowing and sending off Teacher Ke Bei. Then, once Teacher Ke Bei had turned away, Zhu Minglang tilted his head and looked at Teacher Duan Lan…

A suitor?

Teacher Duan Lan intentionally had him stay by her side, to turn down Ke Bei.

It was clear that Ke Bei had been waiting here on purpose for the class to end.

But this worked out well for Zhu Minglang; he could get the Frost Snow Tree Flower Honey sooner!

“Where’s your Crocodile Spirit?” Teacher Duan Lan asked.

“Resting behind the house,” Zhu Minglang replied.

“Do another small favor for me,” said Teacher Duan Lan.

“No problem,” Zhu Minglang nodded in agreement.
