Dragon Tamer-Chapter 389 - 391 Dragon King Limbers Up

Chapter 389: Chapter 391 Dragon King Limbers Up

…

Dragon Taming High Court, Branch Conference Hall.

All the affairs of the branches were basically handled in this Branch Conference Hall.

Dragon Taming Academy had hundreds of branches across the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent, scattered among different countries and city-states.

Neon Sea Fantasy City was the Supreme Court, and naturally, it had always been the role model for all the branches.

Sun Chong, as the branch overseer, was sitting in a high chair, reporting the detailed situation to the Chief Supervisor and other officials.

Today, Sun Chong was scolded until he was drenched in a downpour of verbal abuse.

The disgrace of losing to an external academy in the grand competition had already spread far and wide, and several senior officials were showing Sun Chong no kindness due to the dishonor he had brought upon the Supreme Court.

However, luckily, Sun Chong had found some loopholes with which to firmly block Li Chuan Branch’s inspection.

Not to say that he could completely reject their application for admission, but causing Duan Changqing to make several fruitless trips, and having the application temporarily disapproved until next year, was still an achievable outcome.

Just drag it out!

Approval was impossible.

To outright reject it also became awkward due to the grand competition debacle.

So, delay it.

Find other reasons, ask them to rectify issues, complete their documents, or send more people for on-site inspections…

If the time was dragged out, there would always be more excuses to completely reject the application!

After all, Sun Chong had already prepared his excuses.

…

Conference Hall.

Duan Changqing had taken his seat.

The meeting was chaired by the Chief Supervisor, who was holding the documents Sun Chong had compiled.

“Duan Changqing, many teachers at your academy lack sufficient qualifications. The screening by the teachers is not strict enough. We hope you will return and carry out a reorganization…” the Chief Supervisor said.

Upon hearing these words, even Duan Changqing’s expression changed.

Just then, outside the Conference Hall, Great Instructor Lin Zhao approached, with Supervisor Han Wen following by his side.

The Chief Supervisor and other academic officials all stood up immediately.

“Great Instructor!”

“Master Lin!”

In Dragon Taming Academy, an instructor was a teacher’s teacher.

Moreover, Lin Zhao held the highest position as a Great Instructor. Many of those holding positions in the academy were disciples of the Great Instructor.

“Please, sit, Great Instructor,” the Chief Supervisor personally went forward to invite Great Instructor Lin Zhao to take a seat.

“No need, I just have to inform you of something, and then I will leave,” said the Great Instructor. He did not sit down for the meeting. Instead, he walked over to the Chief Supervisor and warned him in a whisper that was not meant for everyone to hear.

The Chief Supervisor nodded, seemingly receiving instructions.

“Then I shall announce the inspection results for Li Chuan Academy,” the Chief Supervisor’s voice grew stronger as he addressed everyone. “Li Chuan Academy has strictly adhered to the Dragon Taming Academy’s teachings for decades, without ever violating them. With an impeccable system, excellent students, and teachers who value virtue, from today on, it formally becomes the one hundred and forty-second branch of our Dragon Taming Academy!”

This proclamation dumbfounded Sun Chong completely.

Weren’t they just talking about the problem of lax teacher screenings? Their average teaching strength indeed did not meet the standards!

“Chief Supervisor… the issues I’ve just raised,” Sun Chong hastily reminded the Chief Supervisor.

“That’s a minor issue. As long as Li Chuan Academy designates some teachers to take advanced training at our Supreme Court each year, that will suffice,” said the Chief Supervisor.

“Advanced training?? They have the qualifications for that??” Sun Chong’s jaw dropped.

Not all branches had the qualifications to receive-advanced training.

For the teachers of the branches, being able to take advanced training at the Supreme Court was an extremely high honor.

Generally, only those branches that performed exceptionally well could send their students and teachers for advanced training at the Supreme Court.

Duan Changqing also revealed an incredulous look.

When the other party mentioned the issue with the teacher, Duan Changqing realized that this application would be rejected, yet who knew that the High Court Supervisor would suddenly change their tone and directly read the result of passing the review!!

Formally becoming a branch.

And possessing the qualifications for advanced studies!

In this way, Li Chuan Dragon Taming Academy could send some teachers and some students to the Supreme Court for advanced studies every year!

This was a huge promotion for both teachers and students, as they would boost the entire academy’s level when they returned after completing their advanced studies.

“But, but…” Sun Chong still wanted to find a reason.

“Are you Court Supervisor Sun Chong?” Great Tutor Lin Zhao asked.

“Yes… yes, I am Sun Chong, Great Tutor. What are your instructions!” Overwhelmed by the honor, Sun Chong quickly stood up straighter.

“The open competition you arranged with our Supreme Court was truly an eye-opener, allowing students like Guan Wenqi to go against external courts, winning would be one thing, but losing in such a wretched state, since when did the Supreme Court’s review of external courts become your personal game, to announce publicly whenever you feel like it, to insert whomever you want, to exact public revenge for private grievances!” Great Tutor Lin Zhao’s tone became stern.

“I, I wouldn’t dare…” Sun Chong was so frightened that his forehead was covered in sweat beads.

“Someone like you shouldn’t stay in the branch council chamber anymore. Go see what positions are available in the nearby affiliated pastures.” Lin Zhao scoffed coldly and left.

Upon hearing this, Sun Chong turned even paler!

How did things suddenly turn out like this!

The Great Tutor held absolute authority, and he was in charge of arranging many important positions in the branches, regular courts, and even the Supreme Court.

Sun Chong racked his brains, but couldn’t remember when he had offended the Great Tutor Lin Zhao!

Duan Changqing hadn’t quite reacted either.

Things had changed a bit too quickly.

Naturally, he couldn’t suppress his joy, and what was even more surprising was that Sun Chong, who had been plotting with all his might to obstruct him, was actually demoted, and even to an affiliated pasture.

He wasn’t even considered part of the internal staff!

After completing all the procedures.

Duan Changqing walked out of the council chamber, finally certain that his academy had officially become a branch, recognized by the Supreme Dragon Taming Court!

All the students and teachers of Li Chuan Academy could finally hold their heads high!

…

…

At Merlin Tea House, Great Tutor Lin Zhao offered a sincere apology and gave Duan Lan a substantial gift.

Duan Lan wanted to refuse, but Zhu Minglang said, “The Great Tutor is truly sincere. Otherwise, Lin Yan’s issue will always weigh on his conscience. Teacher Duan Lan wouldn’t want to make it difficult for the Great Tutor, right?”

After hesitating for a while, Duan Lan finally accepted it.

“Duan Lan, you’ve been running around for Li Chuan Academy’s affairs these past few days and probably haven’t had the chance to properly visit the famous sights of our Supreme Court. Shall I accompany you on a tour?” Han Wen showed his amiable side, actively proposing to take Duan Lan around.

“Sure.” For once, Duan Lan revealed a smile.

Han Wen and Duan Lan left the Merlin Tea House, leaving Zhu Minglang and the Great Tutor in the room.

Zhu Minglang knew that the Great Tutor had matters to discuss; he had made that clear on the day Lin Yan had behaved absurdly.

“The day our Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor followed, it was actually because we needed to retrieve an Ancient Artifact from its territory, an artifact known as the Sea-calming Bell. Originally, we had a master willing to help us, but he was injured and needs rest, and it would be too late to wait for his recovery. Missing this chance would make it much harder to succeed, so we would like to ask you to help us retrieve this Ancient Artifact. Of course, we won’t have you take risks for nothing. Whatever you need, just say the word, and we will do our best to fulfill it,” Great Tutor Lin Zhao said earnestly.

“Since the Great Tutor has put it that way, I won’t hold back. I need the Phoenix Nest, and if the Great Tutor can provide it for me, I will assist you,” Zhu Minglang said straightforwardly.

Master Lin’s character should be fine; he just has a son with a problematic mind.

As for what Master Lin has suggested, it’s not that he can’t agree.

The Heavenly Slaughter Dragon has been well-fed recently.

It’s time to stretch its muscles!
