Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 744 - 420: Thick-Skinned and Black-Hearted, Holy Dragon’s Grandson: The Undying Red Dragon
"Ah, what a refreshing feeling!"
Taking on the form of a Dragon-man, Noah elegantly stretched his body as he walked from the highest point of Mage City. With a triumphant expression, he glanced at the sealed chamber behind him, his lips curving slightly upward, and his eyes displaying the unique demeanor of a victor,
"Little Angel, conquered!"
Although there had been minor quarrels between them, they had also established an unbreakable bond. The Blazing Angel descending from Heaven once again was the best proof of this.
There’s not much gossip to discuss between companions. After a brief exchange, Noah chose to take the initiative; he crushed his opponent in the first battle, followed it with nine consecutive victories, and completely broke through the Angel’s defenses, leaving the Angel unable to get up.
Feeling immensely pleased and relaxed, Noah hummed a tuneless melody as the glow of the Transformation Technique gradually spread across his body, reemerging as the majestic Holy Dragon within Mage City, though he restrained his own form.
"Let’s see what other good things are happening!"
Busy with multiple roles and numerous affairs, Noah, after a cursory glance over the Continent using Word Spirit·Emperor, shifted his gaze once more to the Dragon Academy within the Cloud Sea Secret Realm.
Over a century of development had made the Dragon Academy’s system and scale more refined, establishing policies like skipping grades and elective courses, catering to dragon traits.
A newly matured young dragon, just five years old after its fledgling phase, was sent to the Dragon Academy. According to initial rules, it needed to undergo ninety years of education, which, even for Dragon Species, was excessively lengthy.
Moreover, Dragons are not the same; different Dragon Clans grow and develop differently, and even within the same Dragon Clan, talent, disposition, and interests vary.
Every Dragon is unique, and forcing such special Dragon Clans to receive the same content in a classroom is highly unreasonable.
Therefore, considering the differences in Dragon Clans and Bloodlines, as well as varied talents and interests, Dragons are allowed to choose their favorite courses after receiving twenty years of basic education, based on their interests and hobbies.
However, there are still standard requirements for these choices; it’s not limitless freedom. You can choose your courses and arrange your schedule freely, but to move to the next stage or graduate, you must pass exams. If you fail the exams, you repeat and relearn.
Thus, the ninety-year learning period is merely an ideal standard. If one is lazy and unlearned, extending from a hundred years to even a hundred twenty or two hundred years is entirely possible, as Dragon Academy does not enforce mandatory graduation.
Where there are rules for repeating grades, there are naturally exams for skipping grades. Exceptionally talented Dragon students can shorten their studies if they can prove in exams that they have completed all learning content of that stage and graduate early.
Currently, the fastest graduate is Noah’s youngest daughter, Scadilo. This Ice Princess completed all her studies in just sixty years and passed the graduation assessment smoothly.
This was achieved while she was multitasking; had she focused on her studies exclusively, her graduation time might have been halved, as her attention was chiefly on managing her own territory and not on the academy’s studies.
This prodigiously talented Ice Princess aspires to emulate her brothers, establish, and lead a legion capable of conquering Planes, spreading the Golden Order to more planes.
This goal and ambition have attracted many classmates to join her ranks—a mere sixty-year completion is a legendary feat in the academy.
Achieving such success without full effort has become an insurmountable chasm for many Dragons, evoking admiration from their Dragon Hearts.
Moreover, this Princess is so wealthy, generous, beautiful, and, most importantly, magnanimous. What male Dragon wouldn’t want to try? What if she favors them?
Though rather unrealistic, more like a dream, Dragons ought to have dreams, right?
The academy’s male Dragons have dreams, just as the fledgling Dragons have their pursuits.
The record for fastest graduation set by this Ice Princess, while unbroken, is not unshakeable; Dragons capable of challenging it have appeared.
The eldest grandson of Holy Dragon, known as the Shadow of Silence, Cezer the Dragon of Ashes.
This is the most prominent and talented Dragon in the academy. Although also of Holy Dragon bloodline, this younger generation Dragon of Ashes rivals the Ice Princess, his aunt, with equal strength and, comparatively, a much more composed demeanor.
Possessing the seemingly terrifying and extremely evil Power of Ashes, his behavior and interactions with other Dragons are most fair and peaceful, akin to a Sage of humanoid races, leaving those who meet him feeling as if they are bathed in the spring breeze.
Every Dragon that has interacted with this Holy Dragon’s eldest grandson, whether classmates or teachers, speaks highly of him, recognizing the vast potential of his future achievements.
While this Holy Dragon’s eldest grandson bears a daunting and unapproachable title, this merely interprets his power’s nature. In reality, all Dragons who understand him are quite willing to befriend him and become his friends.
