Who Do You Think You Are, Calling Yourself the Golden Dragon King? Lord Phainon's Most Severe Lesson!

Tang Wulin parted the bushes, and the scene before him froze him in shock.

In the clearing in the woods, specks of light still drifted by, like countless fireflies dancing in the setting sun.

Each point of light represents a student who has been forcibly removed from the Spirit Ascension Platform.

The two people who created those lights were just moments ago being called "Big Brother" and "Sister" in his mind.

Bai Yuan's right hand hung casually at his side, and the blade of the Dawnmaker still retained a faint golden light.

Before him, a student from the Eastsea Academy was turning into specks of light, his mouth still open, as if he wanted to beg for mercy, but he didn't have time to make a sound.

Gu Yuena stood a few steps away, her long silver hair swaying gently in the aftershocks. The fire element at her fingertips had just extinguished, and the air still held a lingering heat.

Tang Wulin watched as those familiar faces disappeared one by one before his eyes, his pupils dilating violently.

Those were his classmates, his teammates with whom he had teamed up for training today.

Someone handed him water, someone bandaged his wounds, and someone helped him when he was being chased by Soul Beast.

And now, they have all turned into specks of light.

This?

He couldn't believe it!

Is there some misunderstanding?

But those students were indeed sent off from the Spirit Ascension Platform!

Xu Xiaoyu hid behind a thick, ancient tree, panting heavily.

His hand holding the ice staff was still trembling slightly, and the blue crystal had dimmed a bit.

He loosened his grip, then tightened it again.

There's no escaping it.

The boy in Black Robe was like a ghost; no matter how many detours he took or how many places he hid, he would eventually be found.

Almost everyone else has been eliminated; now he's the only one left.

My younger sister went out too!

Xu Xiaoyu closed her eyes, then opened them again.

He can't just be kicked out like this, hurting his sister. At least... at least make him pay the price!

He took a deep breath and stepped out from behind the tree.

A few dozen meters ahead, in an open space, Bai Yuan was standing there, as if he had known all along that Bai Yuan would appear from this spot.

Xu Xiaoyu held the ice staff horizontally, with the staff held across her front.

Three Soul Ring, yellow, yellow, and purple, slowly rose up. He didn't say anything more, and the third Soul Ring shone brightly with purple light.

"Third Soul Skill - Ice Fury!"

He raised his ice staff high, and the fist-sized blue crystal at the top suddenly burst forth with dazzling light.

A rich, pure ice-elemental energy surged from the tip of the staff like a tidal wave, sweeping across the entire forest.

The air instantly dropped to freezing point, and a layer of white frost condensed on the grass blades on the ground.

The surrounding temperature was still dropping rapidly, and it was bitterly cold.

Xu Xiaoyu gritted her teeth and poured all the remaining Soul Power in her body into this attack.

An ice spear slowly condensed in front of the staff tip.

The spear was long and slender, its entire body crystal clear, radiating a cold, eerie blue light.

Xu Xiaoyu gripped the ice staff with both hands and swung it forward sharply.

The ice spear shot towards Bai Yuan like an arrow released from a bow, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound!

Xu Xiaoyu silently breathed a sigh of relief; her body was almost completely exhausted.

This attack drained most of his Soul Power, and the luster at the tip of his ice staff dimmed somewhat.

Bai Yuan looked at the ice spear flying towards him and raised his right hand.

With a casual swing, the thin, hair-like sword energy precisely struck the tip of the ice spear.

"Bite--"

A crisp sound.

Starting from the tip of the ice spear, a straight crack appeared along the grain of the spear shaft.

The crack grew larger and denser, and the light of the magic runes flickered a few times within it before extinguishing completely.

The entire ice spear transformed into countless tiny ice crystals, which exploded in the air like a sudden blizzard, falling down in a flurry.

Bai Yuan stood in the ice crystals, smiling as he looked at Xu Xiaoyu, without even the hem of his clothes being touched by the ice crystals.

Xu Xiaoyu gripped the ice staff, her arm slowly hanging down.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found that he didn't even have the strength to speak.

Bai Yuan smiled at him, and then unleashed a sword aura that was extremely thin and bright, flashing through the air.

Xu Xiaoyu watched the sword fly towards her, but she couldn't dodge it anyway.

He closed his eyes.

His body began to turn into specks of light, starting from his chest.

It dissipated into the air without leaving a trace.

"Bai... Brother Bai Yuan?" Tang Wulin's voice was hoarse, as if it were being squeezed out from deep in his throat.

Bai Yuan turned around, and the light on Dawnmaker slowly faded.

He looked at Tang Wulin, his expression calm.

"Xiao Tang."

Tang Wulin shifted his gaze from Bai Yuan to Gu Yuena's face.

Gu Yuena stared at him expressionlessly, her purple eyes devoid of any emotion.

Tang Wulin's lips were trembling, and his eyes were red-rimmed.

What are you doing?

His voice finally rose, filled with disbelief and bewilderment.

"Brother Bai Yuan, Sister Gu Yue-- "

Tang Wulin took a step forward, blocking the still-scattering specks of light, and opened his arms.

"They're my classmates! Is there some misunderstanding?"

Behind him, the few remaining team members also emerged from behind the tree.

Hiding behind Tang Wulin, she looked at Bai Yuan and Gu Yuena with terrified eyes.

They didn't recognize Bai Yuan, but they recognized the points of light and their companions who had just been swept away one by one with a single sword strike.

The air was silent for a moment.

There is no misunderstanding.

Bai Yuan's tone remained calm.

"They attacked first, we just fought back."

Tang Wulin was taken aback.

He turned to look at the team members huddled together behind him and lowered his voice.

Is what he said true? Did you start it?

Before the team members could speak, a boy hiding behind a tree peeked out.

"Tang Wulin, you've come at the right time! It's all his fault! He killed both Senior Brother and Senior Sister Mu Xi!"

Tang Wulin's pupils contracted sharply, his large, clear eyes filled with shock.

"What? Senior Mu Xi..."

His voice was hoarse, and his lips were trembling.

Senior Mu Xi.

That upperclassman, who had a bad temper but never bullied younger students, was also...

Tang Wulin clenched his fists, raised his head, and stared intently at Bai Yuan.

The previous adoration and intimacy were gone from those clear, black and white eyes; only a burning, scalding anger remained.

Beneath his feet, the Blue Silver Grass crawled along the ground like countless green snakes, darting swiftly through the grass.

He burst out from behind the tree, his pace quickening until he was sprinting.

Bai Yuan stood there, watching the black-haired boy rushing towards him, and sighed.

He sensed the change in Tang Wulin's aura.

Tang Wulin's right arm began to change.

On his fingers, golden scales emerged from beneath his skin, shimmering with a dazzling metallic luster in the sunlight.

The scales spread from the fingertips to the wrist, and from the wrist to the forearm, making the entire arm much thicker, with bulging muscles and prominent veins. It didn't look like the arm of a six-year-old child at all.

The five fingers are bent like hooks, the nails have become sharp claws, and each knuckle contains terrifying power.

Golden Dragon Claw.

Tang Wulin raised his claw, which was covered in golden scales, and pounced on Bai Yuan.

He didn't know why he hit the punch, but he felt that if he didn't, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

Gu Yuena stood under the shade of a tree not far away, looking at Tang Wulin's arm covered with golden scales, her purple eyes slightly narrowed.

The power of the Golden Dragon King is now slowly awakening.

A slight smile curved her lips, a mixture of anticipation and a sense of schadenfreude.

I'll teach you a lesson, you filthy human.

You've been arrogant in front of me every day, now I'll show you the most powerful force of our dragon race.

I'll clean up the mess after you've been beaten down.

You'll owe me a favor then, let's see how you act like Senior Brother in front of me afterwards.

Gu Yuena thought to herself.

Tang Wulin rushed in front of Bai Yuan, his Golden Dragon Claw claws whistling sharply as they slammed down towards Bai Yuan's chest.

Bai Yuan didn't use his sword. He simply extended his right hand and casually flicked it.

Tang Wulin's claw, powerful enough to shatter rocks, was easily deflected, causing him to lose his balance and stagger forward a few steps.

Bai Yuan used his other hand to slash at his chest with his sword.

"Bang--"

Tang Wulin's body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, tracing a long parabola in the air.

It crashed heavily to the ground, rolled twice, and finally came to a stop after hitting the base of a large tree.

He lay on the ground, his chest heaving violently, the golden scales slowly fading from his arms.

Bai Yuan withdrew his fist, looked down at Tang Wulin lying on the ground panting heavily, and thought to himself.

So you're called the Golden Dragon King!

"Do you even understand what Phainon's Power of Destruction is?!"

Gu Yuena stood under the shade of a tree, her purple eyes wide open.

It wasn't that Bai Yuan was knocked down; it was that Bai Yuan sent the Golden Dragon King Bloodline inheritor flying with a single punch.

"???"

"Such Destruction power!"

"Aren't you the Golden Dragon King?"
