Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 624 - 81: The Giant Dragon Feast (Part 1)

"That is a Dragon Pillar, a special Array used to seal the Asian Young Dragons during the Dragon Pulling Test," Cheng Ying said as she entered the training grounds and sat down following Yue Jinghua.

Seeing Yue Jinghua’s unwelcoming expression, he was quite nonchalant, giving her a playful wink.

"Aren’t you just drawing more hatred towards me?" Yue Jinghua muttered. Cheng Ying had many admirers, and such a seemingly innocent gesture undoubtedly made her a target for their jealousy.

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives.

At that moment, a large group of family members from the National Guardian General Residence also entered the training grounds.

The National Guardian General’s family was full of heroes; almost all the men held important positions in various departments of the Empire, making their family the most populous one in today’s spectator seats.

From this display, it was evident that Long Rui was highly favored in the Long Family, but Long Ao, one of the rumored Top Ten Martial Artists of the continent, was not present. It seemed the rumors were true that Long Ao rarely returned to Wo Hua Imperial City.

The members of the Long family showed displeasure upon seeing Lie Rou and her daughter.

Long Jiuzun frowned slightly when he saw Yue Jinghua and Cheng Ying sitting closely together.

Yue Jinghua felt inwardly distressed but could not show it, so she turned her gaze to the Dragon Pillars that Long Rui had mentioned earlier.

Counting them, there were thirty Dragon Pillars in the training ground, and there were thirty-six Quasi-Dragon Knights, which meant that six would fail to become Dragon Knights, a seemingly not low ratio of thirty-six to six. In reality, Yue Jinghua learned from Cheng Ying’s explanation that not all Dragon Pillars could be activated.

Only if both the Quasi-Dragon Knight and the Asian Dragon inside the Dragon Pillar agreed, would the Dragon Pillar open.

Sometimes, the Asian Dragon inside the Dragon Pillar would refuse to recognize a master, in which case the Dragon Pillar would be withdrawn, and the Asian Dragon inside would be sent back to the Dragon Cave for further training.

Hearing that the active-duty Asian Young Dragons were all here, Yue Jinghua wondered which Dragon Pillar the Five-Colored Jiao Long Ji Xuechen was sealed within.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Dragon Pulling Test had not yet started, Yue Jinghua quietly released her Spiritual Sense like casting a net.

She tried to ascertain through probes which Dragon Pillar contained the Five-Colored Jiao Dragon.

Just as Yue Jinghua was about to send out her Spiritual Sense, a cry of agony was heard, and a Dark Practitioner at the front row staggeringly fell to the ground.

"That fool, must have tried to use spiritual power to search the Dragon Pillars," Cheng Ying laughed mischievously with glistening playful eyes.

It turned out that in every Dragon Pulling Test, some families would try to cut corners by secretly hiring Dark Practitioners with astonishing spiritual power cultivation to probe the species and Grade of the Asian Dragons in the Dragon Pillars.

They were unaware that every Dragon Pillar was empowered with various Arrays, among them was a Mirror Image Formation that prevented any attacks and spiritual power from penetrating the Dragon Pillars, automatically rebounding them back to the originator.

Thus, unless one knows the trick to the Arrays on the Dragon Pillar, external forces cannot crack open the pillar.

To break the Dragon Pillar, it must be shattered from within in cooperation with the Asian Young Dragon.

With the Mirror Formation, the Quasi-Dragon Knights are unable to know the specific Asian Young Dragons inside each Dragon Pillar and can only rely on their true capabilities and the skills they have learned over the past year in the Dragon Rider Reserve Camp to contract with an Asian Dragon.

Upon hearing this, Yue Jinghua reluctantly withdrew her Spiritual Sense.

The Dark Practitioner who had been rendered unconscious by his own spiritual power attack was quickly carried away.

"I heard that in this Dragon Pulling Test, a Five-Colored Flying Jiao appeared, and no one knows which lucky one will eventually contract with that Five-Colored Flying Dragon. However, it’s also possible that the Five-Colored Dragon won’t be able to contract with any Quasi-Dragon Knight," Cheng Ying and most Imperial Nobles shared the same thoughts when they came to the training grounds.

Compared to the Sub-Asian Dragons, the Jiao Clan possesses a wilder nature and proves more difficult to tame; inexperienced Quasi-Dragon Knights find it challenging to tame a Five-Colored Jiao Dragon.

While Cheng Ying and Yue Jinghua were chatting and joking, on the training field, thirty-six Quasi-Dragon Knights neatly divided into six columns, six rows each, every one of them donned in armor to prevent any accidents during the bonding process.

Long Rui stood in the second position from the left in the second row; she had hastily sent the leather armor yesterday, fearing that Yue Minzhi would dislike it.

She sneakily glanced at Yue Minzhi, and from this angle, all she could see was his distinct and defined profile.

Long Rui’s gaze shifted downwards, quickly noticing a secret beneath Yue Minzhi’s armor, causing her to sweetly lower her head.

On the side, Ji Yun was itching with irritation from the exchange of looks between the two.

Suddenly, the ground and the sky simultaneously roared as if there was an earthquake happening on the training ground.

Several dark spots appeared in the sky, accompanied by a few Dragon Riders hovering far above without descending to the ground.

"Dragon Riders, along with Asian Flying Dragons," indeed, several formidable Dragon Riders mounted on dragons appeared in the sky.

Yue Jinghua saw clearly that the leader was indeed Peng Bo. Jin Nuo.

Peng Bo. Jin Nuo along with three other Dragon Riders were responsible for overseeing the entire Dragon Pulling Test from a hundred meters above.

As the Flying Dragons appeared, several Sub-Asian Dragons materialized around the perimeter of the training field.

Unlike the Flying Dragons, these Sub-Asian Dragons mostly appeared as Earth Dragons in red, green, and blue colors.

Although they were all Earth Dragons, the forms and Cultivations of the Sub-Asian Dragons varied wildly.

There were Lizard Dragons adept at running, Fire Qilongs that could seamlessly traverse through the Fire, and Blue Whale Dragons possessing immense spiritual power.

Accompanying the Earth Dragons, several Dragon Riders clad in Heavy Armor mounted the Sub-Asian Dragons, exuding an air of superiority.

After surveying from atop the skies, Peng Bo. Jin Nuo, riding Black Beauty, noticed Yue Jinghua in the spectator seats. He slightly raised his eyebrows and silently signaled to Black Beauty.

A formidable Black Dragon, upon receiving the command, Black Beauty spread its enormous wings and dived, landing directly in the spectator seats, causing the male nobles to pale dramatically while the ladies screamed incessantly.

"Little Jinuo, what are you doing?" Long Jiuzun, seeing this, appeared quite displeased.

Jin Nuo, however, just cracked a smile, completely disregarding the young War God of the Empire; he leapt down from the lofty dragon’s back and headed straight towards Yue Jinghua’s seat.

"Little Brother Yue, after witnessing today’s Dragon Pulling Test, may you not regret it to your guts; the power of a Sub-Asian Dragon is unmatched by any Dark Beast," Peng Bo. Jin Nuo, upon seeing Cheng Ying sitting next to Yue Jinghua, couldn’t help but whistle. Glancing at Long Jiuzun, whose face was dark enough to drip ink, he burst into laughter.

Well done, Little Brother Yue, never revealing your true intentions, even daring to snatch Long Jiuzun’s woman.

Seeing Little Jinuo’s mischievous smile, Yue Jinghua could only helplessly shrug his shoulders.

Being made a target out of the blue isn’t a pleasant feeling; Cheng Ying’s beautiful eyes moved back and forth between Yue Jinghua and Little Jinuo.

"Long live the Emperor, thousand years to the Princess, greeting His Majesty and Her Highness," as each member of the Dragon Rider Camp took their place, Yue Jinghua only heard a shout and saw a duo of horsemen coming out at the forefront of the spectator section.
