Qing Yue'er looked at the golden light with her curious face. Then he flew towards that light. The clear water allowed him to see what was happening in the depths of the water. When he realized it, he was immediately shocked. His body immediately turned to retreat, but it turned out that he was already too late.
Boom!
The sound of such a powerful explosion instantly resounded in Baihu forest. The ground became trembling with terrifying waves. When looking at the sky, the golden light that was so bright seemed to glow from the middle of the forest. The forest dwellers immediately shuddered in horror when they saw this. They all moved to enter their respective residences.
The rested explorers could only gasp in shock at the sound of the explosion. They all became curious when they looked at the sky that was filled with golden light. Everyone instantly maintained vigilance and moved towards the direction of the explosion.
When they arrived, the scene that was in front could only be said to be chaotic. Golden light looks more glare at the center. They could not see anything, but the huge lake was completely messy. The explosion that had previously occurred had caused a small tsunami. Rocks on the edge of the lake had been dragged along with small trees that were within close proximity of the lake.
"Pey! Uhuk!" Luo Qingqi coughed when she realized she had already been thrown away from the outskirts of the lake. He felt his waist become sore, it seemed like something was cracking. Finally he injected his spiritual qi to slightly ease his pain.
His eyes were not just silent. He looked towards the lake and directly closed it because it was too glare. "What's going on?" He mumbled confusedly. He looked around to find his friends. He could see the other two also sprawled like it was. Why are there only two?
Luo Qingqi got up by approaching the other two people. It was Jing Ling and Ming Yuxia. He immediately awakened them both. "Jing Ling, Yuxia, are you guys okay?"
The person who was awakened only grimaced before finally opening his eyes. They were really surprised by what had just happened. There was no sign of anything before the explosion. How can they avoid it? Luckily heaven was still protecting them and letting them survive.
"Where is Xinyu? Why isn't he there?" Jing Ling asked frantically when she realized they were just the three of them.
"I don't know, we should look for him," Luo Qingqi said.
"What about that?" ming Yuxia asked as she pointed at the center of the lake that was still blinding. Even after a while the light was still not extinguished.
"Don't mind that. What matters is we have to find Xinyu."
Finally they moved around to look for Qing Yue'er. While many other disciples were even teachers who came to inspect the lake. They really didn't know how to respond to this incident. Things like this were a first for them so no one really knew what was really going on.
"Teacher Han, did you think of anything?" peng Liang asked Han Qiong. He and Han Qiong were hovering above a height and were observing the golden light intently.
"It's unbelievable, but it should be something like a divine beast" Han Qiong said in a slightly trembling voice.
"Then shouldn't we also conquer it?" Peng Ling asked with sparkling eyes. If indeed this was a divine beast that had no master, then they also had a chance to possess it.
"Don't rush. Let's wait a minute, it won't be easy to conquer an animal of such a high level." Han Qiong said softly. He himself was unsure, but this was definitely something unexpected.
On the other hand, a teacher also witnessed this majesty. His eyes immediately sparkled with happiness. He was Gu Xingren, a teacher who was quite famous in the academy. However, due to frequent closed-door meditation so he rarely participated in the activities of the academy. However, now he was in his leisure so he decided to join in the hunt for this spirit beast.
He had not expected that there would be a dragon suddenly appearing in Baihu forest. If it was like this then he should also try his luck. He should be able to get the beast.
Suddenly a humming sound rang out from that golden light. Everyone immediately covered their ears with both hands. At that very moment also a surge of golden light instantly moved in the night sky. Everyone could only be dumbfounded to see something hovering high in the sky. It was a bright light that formed an animal that was none other than a dragon.
The dragon was still not so perfect. The golden light still shone and performed a transformation on his long body. The scales began to take shape and refine the form of its majesty. The legs and horns also shone and formed perfectly.
The people who saw this could only be dumbfounded speechlessly. It was not even once thought that they would see the transformation of a dragon. That meant the previous explosion happened because the dragon had just passed through heavenly tribulation.
"Heaven, this is the will of heaven!" shouted a disciple who was astonished at the sight of this miracle.
"Someone must conquer it!"
"Don't dream! Even the teacher here doesn't know whether to conquer it or not."
Various exclamations of astonishment and whispers began to come out from the mouths of the disciples. They were amazed and wished they could have it. However, they knew that it was just a wishful thinking. Surely conquering an animal as great as that will not be so easy.
Whooss!
Suddenly a flash of red light shone towards the dragon's body parts. However, before it managed to land, the dragon immediately moved to dodge. The attack ended in empty air. The dragon stared at the source of the attack. His golden eyes flashed with a sacred feeling.
"A common man wants to attack me? You are so brave." The sound of the dragon resounded in the night sky. Everyone could only stare in amazement at him, whereas they stared inexplicably at Gu Xingren who had just attacked the golden dragon.
Gu Xingren cleared his throat. "Golden Dragon, I want to get you to be my contracted beast."
Han Qiong and Peng Liang who heard this could only snort. Even if they wanted to conquer it, it should not use force or it just provoked the anger of the dragon. It was a stupid impulsive act.
The golden dragon did not react much. His calm demeanor was truly amazing, considering normally divine beasts were so arrogant and arrogant. But this one turned out a little different.
"You don't deserve to say that. Your heart is still too greedy" said the dragon.
"Xingren, don't force. Think carefully." Peng Liang advised Gu Xingren. After all they were partners in the academy. So, he had an obligation to remind her.
Gu Xingren finally fell silent. He also seemed to realize that his actions were too hasty. Maybe he'll wait for the right moment. Or maybe he'll think of another way.
The dragon looked at everyone. Today was the day he had been waiting for after decades of waiting. He used to be just a snake that had a bloodline of the dragon race. Finally after doing a lot of hardships, he managed to enter this phase. The heavenly tribulation was not easy to pass through, it was fortunate that he managed to deal with it.
Suddenly the sight of the dragon turned to the surface of the water which still had ripples. His eyes were glistening with something different.
"Ohuukk! Hah .. hah ...."
Qing Yue'er appeared on the surface of the water with a flushed face. His breathing was intermittent with eyes that were also flushed. He wiped his face so that his view became clear. After which he looked up at the sky and looked at the golden dragon with displeasure. "Golden Dragon, shouldn't you be looking for a safer place if you're about to receive heavenly tribulation?"
"...."
Everyone was shocked after realizing that someone had appeared on the surface of the water. She was a girl who was already quite famous in the academy. His sudden appearance certainly made everyone recognize him. They did not know how the girl could suddenly appear there. Moreover, he looks so blame the dragon, isn't he too arbitrary?
Han Qiong who saw his disciple suddenly appear there also became astonished. She did not know she had to cry or laugh, especially when the girl spoke carelessly. He immediately went down and pulled Qing Yue'er out of the water. "Girl, speak properly. Don't you know what animal it is?"
Qing Yue'er simply smiled awkwardly. He was still emotionless from being too shocked by this incident. If he could not behave so nimbly then he would probably be crushed into a pulp by the devastating explosion that occurred earlier.
A golden dragon suddenly roared in the sky. His voice carried a respect that suddenly appeared in everyone's heart. Then the dragon moved towards Qing Yue'er. It made everyone think of his misfortune. The girl will definitely be destroyed soon for being disrespectful to the dragon.
Han Qiong hid Qing Yue'er behind his body. He was worried that the dragon would injure his disciple. Although he did not know whether or not he could fight back but he would still try to protect that barbarian disciple of his.
The golden dragon stopped in front of Han Qiong and looked at him with its golden eyes. "Let me talk to him."
"...."
Han Qiong was surprised. "You can't hurt him."
The dragon roared back. "Don't be afraid, I just want to talk about something."
Qing Yue'er finally came out from behind Han Qiong. He stepped forward. "What do you want to say?"
The dragon did not reply with words, but rather moved to bring Qing Yue'er to his back. Then he moved to slide into the lake. His movements left everyone speechless. Was he really not going to do anything to Qing Yue'er? Really, why did the girl have to survive?
Luo Qingqi and the others could only open their mouths without being able to make a sound. After a while, they could talk. "How did this happen? Is Xinyu going to be okay?"
