Chapter 274 - Dragon Battlefield

Chapter 274 - Dragon Battlefield

Fan Zhen caressed the Sky Tyrant Eagle, signaling it not to show any hostility.

The Sky Tyrant Eagle lowered its head and swept its gaze through the eighteen students. When it saw Liu Wuxie, it showed a hint of fear in its eyes. This was weird because the Sky Tyrant Eagle showed no reaction when it saw Mo Chong but trembled at the sight of Liu Wuxie.

Shaking its head, the Sky Tyrant Eagle restored its prideful demeanor.

“Everyone, get on!”

The Sky Tyrant Eagle lowered its body, making it convenient for everyone to climb on it.

Luo Zhaojun was the first to ascend the Sky Tyrant Eagle, taking a seat at the front, near the neck. Mo Chong, along with the other students, followed suit. As they sat on the Sky Tyrant Eagle’s back, they ran their hands through its feathers, which felt as soft as sinking into a pile of cotton. They were completely enveloped in the soft, fluffy feathers.

The hard ridges on either side of the eagle’s back, resembling two hills, provided perfect protection for them in the middle, preventing them from being swept away by the wind.

When the Sky Tyrant Eagle soared at high speeds, the powerful airflow could easily shred the bodies of True Core Realm cultivators like sharp blades. Ordinary cultivators in the Marrow Cleansing Realm couldn’t withstand it, unlike demonic beasts who could resist the powerful airflow with their bodies.

Fan Zhen was the last to mount the Sky Tyrant Eagle’s back. With Luo Zhaojun at the front and Fan Zhen at the rear, they safeguarded the eighteen students nestled between them.

“The front has a better view. Let’s go over to the front!” Mo Chong was excited and headed to the front, sitting behind Luo Zhaojun.

Everyone else quickly followed suit, eager to enjoy the view from the front. Interestingly, Liu Wuxie chose to move to the back instead of joining the others at the front, opting to sit in front of Fan Zhen.

“Senior Brother Liu, why aren’t you going to the front?” one of the three female students asked curiously.

“I suggest you all sit at the back,” Liu Wuxie said. He closed his eyes and isolated himself from the outside world after he was done, and he couldn’t be bothered to explain the reason.

“Junior Sister Xing, don’t listen to him. Come over here quickly! The view is fantastic from here!” Bai Fan beckoned, inviting the three female students to sit at the front. Having their company would certainly make the journey less monotonous.

After all, the journey would take ten days, meaning they would spend the next ten days on the Sky Tyrant Eagle. It would be too lonely to sit at the back alone.

The student named Xing Lian glanced at Liu Wuxie before walking to the front. Two male students stood up and made room for Xing Lan to sit between them.

“Senior Sister Qin, let’s sit at the back!” The other two women didn’t move and chose to sit behind, roughly a meter away from Liu Wuxie.

Senior Sister Qin nodded as the two sat down.

After everyone settled down, Fan Zhen glanced at Liu Wuxie and nodded in satisfaction with a hint of praise in his eyes.

“This is everyone’s first time riding an aerial demonic beast. You might feel nauseous at the beginning, and these bags are for when you need to throw up.” Fan Zhen distributed eighteen bags among the students.

Some students threw them into their interspatial pouch. They were geniuses and could even handle low-altitude flights with no issues. How could they possibly feel nauseous and throw up? Nêww chapters will be fully updated at novelhall.com

Fan Zhen didn’t bother with them and blew the whistle once everyone had settled down.

Upon receiving the command, the Sky Tyrant Eagle spread its wings wide, a sight that thrilled the students at the front. After all, even cultivators at the True Core Realm were incapable of flight.

Even Liu Wuxie could only levitate a few dozen meters off the ground at best. The Sky Tyrant Eagle would be tens of thousands of meters off the ground, a different experience from low-altitude flights.

“No wonder Junior Brother Liu is so powerful. He’s a maniac when it comes to cultivating!” Li Nanxiang said with admiration on her face because Liu Wuxie never stopped cultivating for a moment throughout the journey.

Following a two-hour respite, everyone ascended the Sky Tyrant Eagle. This time, having learned their lesson, all chose to sit at the back. However, no one dared to take Liu Wuxi’s spot.

The next few days were relatively peaceful. After an entire day of flight, they rested for two hours. In the blink of an eye, a vast plain appeared before them after traversing billions of miles.

Everyone could also see similar aerial demonic beasts approaching.

“Everyone, we’re preparing to descend.” Fan Zhen said, and everyone opened their eyes with excitement.

The Battle of the Hundred Nations was held once every decade, and sects would recruit those with outstanding performance to join the cultivation world.

If anyone managed to enter the cultivation world, it would be an honor to their clan. They could even recommend members of their clans to join the cultivation world.

Only Liu Wuxie showed no emotions on his face, as though nothing could affect him.

The Sky Tyrant Eagle descended and landed on the plain. When they landed fifteen minutes later, a desolate aura engulfed everyone.

The desolate aura here was heavier than the Great Yan Dynasty, making their breathing somewhat hurried. All twenty people descended and stood by the side to sense the environment.

“Do you all know what this place is called?” Fan Zhen would explain each time he brought students here; this time wasn’t an exception.

Everyone shook their heads, including Liu Wuxie. Mu Yueying didn’t know much about the Battle of the Hundred Nations and had only shared information about the cultivation world with him.

“This is called the Dragon Battlefield!” Fan Zhen said with a grave expression as if he was showing reverence for this place.

“Dragon Battlefield?”

“This name is weird!” This was the first time everyone heard of this name because this place was far from the Great Yan Dynasty. They had to traverse multiple nations to arrive here.

“Do you all know why this place is called Dragon Battlefield?”

The Sky Tyrant Eagle spread its wings and took off to forage for food in the adjacent mountain range. It was set to return after the conclusion of the Battle of the Hundred Nations to pick everyone up.

“Headmaster, stop keeping us in suspense!” Bai Fan was a little impatient, urging the headmaster to hurry up with his explanation.

Liu Wuxie wasn’t too interested because he had already sensed a familiar aura when they arrived.

“The reason is that dragons once battled here. Their blood and bones remain interred in this battlefield, which is how this place earned its name.”

In summary, this place was irrigated with dragon’s blood, their bones nourishing the surrounding mountains and forests, and their tendons shaping the earth.

“Are there dragons in this world?” Everyone showed longing on their faces. After all, dragons were only recorded in legends, and no one had seen them before.

“You will all discover in due time. It’s not just dragons, but also other races unknown to you. The True Martial Continent is far more expansive than you can fathom, and humans are merely one among countless races.” Fan Zhen would not have divulged this information had they not arrived here.

But that was something they had to know since they were here.
