Chapter 44: Chapter 44 Dragon Bone Gate Chapter 44: Chapter 44 Dragon Bone Gate “`
After the trip to the Divine Tree Secret Realm in Qingye City, Su Yuan and Wang Haiping returned to Guangchuan that same day.
There were less than two weeks until the special recruitment at Demon Capital Academy.
Having absorbed a lot of Heavenly Sweet Fruit, Su Yuan needed some time to let his state settle and develop further.
There was no room for improvement at the moment.
However, his skills could still be enhanced.
Although all currently embedded skills had already been strengthened to the Transformation Realm, Instant Movement was not fully maxed out yet!
Usually, when a skill reached the Perfect Realm, it would undergo various changes.
For instance, Steel Flame Finger would cover the entire right hand, Wind Walking would evade long-range attacks, and Elemental Magnetism Pressure would cause levitation…
Who knew what changes would occur when the Soul Skill Instant Movement reached perfection?
Su Yuan directly asked his homeroom teacher, Yang Jun, for a two-week leave.
With Wang Haiping having given prior notice, Yang Jun didn’t inquire further and just told Su Yuan to be careful.
Su Yuan then took his Dragon Armor Saber and spent two whole weeks in the Great Barbarian Mountain Area…
May 4th.
At the gate of Four Seasons Garden residential community, Wang Haiping’s beautiful secretary was once again waiting in a car downstairs.
Her pretty face and sexy, mature figure attracted many heated stares from passersby.
Seeing Su Yuan approaching, the secretary slightly bowed and then greeted him with a smile, “Mr.
Su, please get in the car.”
“Thanks.” Su Sheng walked forward, only to see the rear window slowly roll down.
“Su Yuan, hurry up and get in,” Wang Haiping called out.
“Director Wang?” Su Yuan was very surprised.
“Why did you come personally?”
Two days ago, Wang Haiping mentioned he had some urgent matters.
Su Yuan was to go to Demon Capital alone for the academy’s trial.
So Su Yuan had thought that only this pretty secretary would be seeing him off at the airport.
He didn’t expect Wang Haiping to come along too.
“I’m here to see you off.”
Su Yuan smiled.
“I feel honored.”
Once Su Yuan was settled in, Wang Haiping instructed, “Xiao Yu, let’s go.”
“Yes, Director!” The secretary responded, driving towards the airport.
Wang Haiping sighed and said, “If it wasn’t for some urgent matters, I wouldn’t let you travel so far alone to Demon Capital…
How about I have Xiao Yu go with you?”
“Uh…
no need!” Su Yuan quickly declined.
He was not a big shot; he wasn’t used to having a secretary or the like.
It would be much more convenient to travel alone.
“Traveling alone isn’t a big deal, and you’ve already arranged everything for the trip,” Su Yuan shook his head and added, “But what do I do once I get to the Demon Capital Academy to take part in the assessment?”
“Didn’t I give you the teacher’s phone number last time?
Ɲονǥᴑ.ƈο
Just call him when you get there.
By the way, better not call if you’re free,” Wang Haiping reminded, thinking of the teacher’s impatient nature.
“Got it.”
…
Great Flame was vast.
Shuzhou was located in the southwestern central region, while Demon Capital was on the southeastern border.
Plus, the flight path had to detour around some dangerous areas, which inevitably extended the travel time.
After a day and night, Su Yuan finally arrived at the Demon Capital Airport in the early morning of the 5th.
“It’s truly different here!”
Su Yuan exited the Demon Capital Airport, looking at the majestic and ancient city corner ahead, and couldn’t help but feel awestruck.
Unlike inland cities, most buildings in Demon Capital were grand and used minimally processed materials.
Observing people around him, Su Yuan could faintly sense powerful Star Power fluctuations from several individuals.
“Among ten or so people, nearly one is a Star Card Master, and their realms are not low either!”
Su Yuan couldn’t help but marvel, “As expected of Three Cities, it’s truly beyond the imagination of a small city like Guangchuan.”
Even if he didn’t pass the special recruitment of the Demon Capital Academy, just visiting Demon Capital was an eye-opener — totally worth it!
Of course…
that was just a thought.
He had to get into Demon Capital Academy this time!
Shaking his head, Su Yuan opened his phone to locate the Demon Capital Academy.
Taking the light rail would take about two hours.
“Good, it’s not too far.
The special recruitment starts in the afternoon, so there’s plenty of time.”
Patting his cheeks to stay alert, Su Yuan then took the light rail to Demon Capital Academy.
At noon, at the main gate of the Demon Capital Academy — the South Gate, Su Yuan walked over from a distance.
This entire South Gate was constructed from a single, over forty-meter-long primal Dragon Bone, with the giant Dragon Skull proudly gazing towards the southeast!
If Su Yuan was slightly amazed at the airport, now he was truly awestruck!
Upon close inspection, Su Yuan carefully examined this majestic, seamlessly crafted Dragon Bone Gate.
The Dragon Bone was not pure white but carried a highly textured shade of gold.
Upon closer inspection, this gold came from within the Dragon Bone, exuding a faint, undispersed Dragon’s Will.
“Golden Bone?”
Su Yuan’s heart raced slightly.
“Heh, here to participate in the special recruitment?”
Just then, a voice came from not far behind Su Yuan.
He turned to see a young man about the same age.
With a square face, bushy eyebrows, big eyes, short hair, and dark red pupils, he stood at about 1.85 meters tall.
Wearing a training vest and combat shorts, his hands were in his pockets, and he didn’t seem very approachable.
“Who are you?” Su Yuan asked while observing him.
Even though Su Yuan was focused on the Dragon Bone, this guy had silently approached without notice — definitely not simple.
Moreover, the guy had his Star Power collected very well, with no leakage at all.
Among everyone Su Yuan had encountered, no one had managed to do so — including Fang Kun, Zhuang Xun, Chen Jiujun, and even Su Yuan himself.
“My name is Xiang Dingqian.” The young man stepped beside Su Yuan, scrutinizing the Dragon Bone Gate and casually added, “Just looking is superficial.
To comprehend the secrets of our Demon Capital Academy’s Dragon Bone Gate, you need to immerse your spiritual power into the Dragon Skull.
Every new student does this annually to temper their spiritual power.
You can give it a try.”
Judging by his tone, was he a Demon Capital Academy student?
No wonder he approached so silently.
Su Yuan nodded and, with a thought, sent his spiritual power into the distant Dragon Skull.
Instantly, a roar echoed in Su Yuan’s mind, and the surroundings became a blank canvas with only the Dragon Bone Gate remaining in sight.
The Dragon Bone seemed to come alive, with the Dragon Skull turning to face Su Yuan, lowering its gaze.
“Roar!!”
With a mighty roar, an ancient Dragon’s Will charged towards Su Yuan’s Sea of Consciousness.
Su Yuan groaned, shut his eyes tightly, and instinctively unleashed his spiritual power in resistance.
This Dragon’s Will was overwhelming, crushing Su Yuan’s spiritual power and seemingly attempting to overturn Su Yuan’s Sea of Consciousness.
If the Sea of Consciousness were fully exposed to this Dragon’s Will, the consequences would be dire.
“Damn it!”
Su Yuan’s heart sank.
He realized he might have been deceived.
This person was definitely not a student from the Demon Capital Academy.
However, his timing and appearance were too perfect.
He even knew the Dragon Skull’s intricacies…
In any case, being too careless was Su Yuan’s own mistake!
Now was not the time for regret and reflection.
Spiritual confrontations were perilous, a single misstep could lead to utter destruction!
Su Yuan had no idea when this Dragon’s Will invading his Sea of Consciousness would cease.
With no other options, he could only muster all his spiritual power to resist!
