Absolute Great Teacher Chapter 818: The Mysterious Dragon Subduing Palace

Chapter 818: The Mysterious Dragon Subduing Palace

“Dragon roar? Could it be that there’s really an ancient giant dragon in this great hall?”
Sun Mo recalled the experience of the Dragon Subduing Academy’s founder. It was said that he had obtained a wooden sculpture and comprehended the Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture from it.
“That’s unknown.”
Duanmu Li shook his head. For such secrets, other than the upper echelons of the academy, no one could learn about them.
“Ziyu, how’s your body?”
Sun Mo wanted to enter for a look but was worried that Mei Ziyu’s body couldn’t endure it.
“It’s just a dragon roar, I can still endure them.”
Mei Ziyu indicated to Sun Mo not to worry.
The corridor was a sealed one and was slanting downward. From the looks of things, the Dragonroar Hall should be located underground.
“It’s really beautiful!”
Sun Mo praised.
Other than the two sides of the walls, the ceiling and floor panels had diagrams of various dragons engraved on them. This was definitely carved by a grandmaster because all of them looked extremely vivid and lifelike.
The eyes of these giant dragons were fist-sized night luminance pearls. So, even though they were underground, the area wasn’t dim.
After walking for close to a hundred meters, the three of them appeared before a gigantic blue-colored lightscreen.
“Be more careful.”
Duanmu Li reminded them and took the lead to enter the lightscreen first.
Sun Mo then entered. At the instant he stepped through the lightscreen, a heavy pressure gushed forward. He felt as though a 10,000 jin stone was pressed on his chest, causing him to be unable to catch his breath.
Sun Mo hurriedly turned his head. “Ziyu!”
When she saw the look of concern on Sun Mo’s face, Mei Ziyu felt warmth in her heart. “I’m fine.”
This Dragonroar Great Hall was half the size of a soccer field. It was in the shape of the eight trigrams and had a very high roof that was tall enough to hang eighteen flying giant dragon stone sculptures.
Over here, teachers and students were sitting cross-legged.
No one spoke needlessly. Everyone was preserving their strength and waiting for the next wave of dragon roar.
Three minutes later, the dragon roar was about to sound out.
When those students tensed their bodies, Sun Mo also did his utmost to prepare.
At the next instant, the dragon roar sounded.
BOOM!
It was like a gigantic bolt of lightning suddenly erupting forth from clear skies, wanting to shatter the dome of the heavens. A tsunami-like aura gushed forward, engulfing the great hall, wanting to shatter everything here.
Ah!
A student screamed in agony, clutching his head as he fell. There was another who was roaring around in pain.
Sun Mo noticed that their flesh had cracked and blood was flowing.
“Indeed, it’s a double attack on one’s mind and body.”
Mei Ziyu’s face was a little pale. Because she was sick throughout the year, her body’s constitution was very weak. If not, she would be able to endure the dragon roar with no injuries.
“Are you okay?”
Duanmu Li had been surveying Sun Mo. When he saw Sun Mo wasn’t the slightest bit affected by the dragon roar, he couldn’t help but be shocked.
Even major characters at the Longevity Realm would surely feel temporary dizziness the first time they entered this place.
“Just a headache, but I can bear it!”
Sun Mo didn’t want to brag. Hence, he told a white lie. In truth, he felt nothing at all.
After the strengthening of his will by the Battle God, Sun Mo’s will had been tempered to a point where it was extremely powerful. To others, the dragon roar might be able to shatter their minds and hearts, but to Sun Mo, it was like the barking of a wild dog on the roadside. Although it was frightening, that was all to it.
Three minutes later, another dragon roar sounded out.
This time around, more people fell to the ground. However, Sun Mo noticed that although they found it unbearable, all of them were struggling to crawl out.
“If it happens again, they might die. So after they reach the limits they can endure, they will choose to leave.”
Duanmu Li explained. “Oh right, there’s a rule in the Dragon Subduing Palace. In this place, once you accept help from anyone else, you will forever be prohibited from entering.”
“Why?”
Mei Ziyu didn’t understand. She saw a few students who overestimated themselves currently crawling on the ground. They were heavily injured and a trail of blood followed them.
“It’s because the academy wants the students to learn how to suppress greed and teach them how to judge the situation, learning how to stop once the gains are sufficient.”
Duanmu Li looked at the crawling students and didn’t offer any help. “The path before you is chosen by yourself. Even if it is filled with thorns, you have to trample over them!”
Sun Mo fell silent. Were those few crawling students afraid?
That’s for sure.
Their faces had looks of unease and dread, but there was even more determination. They didn’t cry for help. Each of them was gritting their teeth and doing their best to crawl toward the lightscreen.
Some of the students who were already injured hesitated for a while and eventually chose to stay when they saw this scene. They had wanted to leave.
But they wanted to challenge their limits as well.
ROAR!
The third dragon roar rang out.
In the hall, a large number of people fell. After that, some of them chose to leave.
Sun Mo looked at a youth who was leaving as he spoke in reminder, “You can still endure two more dragon roars.”
Upon hearing this, the youth turned his head in astonishment.
“What nonsense are you talking about? If he continued staying, he would die.”
The young girl who was supporting the youth immediately turned and glared at Sun Mo.
She wouldn’t allow her childhood sweetheart to risk it.
Sun Mo shrugged.
“Qiu Li, don’t be so impolite.”
The young man persuaded. After that, he apologized to Sun Mo. “Teacher, please forgive her.”
The two of them left after they finished speaking.
Even that very courteous youth didn’t listen to Sun Mo. This was because after so many years, everyone had summed up the rules and knew their limits with regard to the degree of injury they would sustain.
“Ai, an immense opportunity to improve is here, but he doesn’t know how to cherish it. So as the saying goes, those without luck can’t even pick up scraps.”
Mei Ziyu sighed ruefully.
Sun Mo was God Hands. If this were the Central Province Academy, students who had received guidance from him personally would be happy for at least half a month.
“His body should be heavily injured, right?”
Duanmu Li didn’t understand because just from looking at the injuries on the boy’s body, he thought that the boy had reached his limits.
“The constitution of that youth is very strong. If he endured two more dragon roars, he would be able to achieve the greatest tempering effect. Otherwise, he would only be able to gain very little benefits.”
Sun Mo explained.
A human’s training process was simply to damage their muscles and allow them to recover. They would become stronger after recovery.
Simply speaking, that youth’s training load wasn’t heavy enough.
“Ziyu, if you have nothing to do, you can stay in this place. These dragon roars will be extremely beneficial to your body.”
Although Sun Mo had only experienced three dragon roars, because he grasped the ancient massaging technique, he understood his body exceptionally well. He discovered that the soundwaves from the dragon roars could stimulate his cells and improve their vitality and toughness.
Simply speaking, other than the dragon roars being able to temper one’s body and make it stronger, if one stayed here for a long period, they would even be able to enjoy an increase in their lifespan.
For humans, their cells would divide and regenerate again and again unceasingly. When the cells died and no longer divided, that person would already be dead.
By improving the vitality and lengthening the life of cells, it meant that one’s lifespan would be lengthened.
Mei Ziyu shook her head. She knew that Sun Mo was saying this for her own good. However, she only wanted to accompany Sun Mo. If not, what was the joy even if she could live for a few more days?
The three of them found a remote location and sat down.
They then continued to endure the baptism of the dragon roars.
…
“Qiu Li, what did Teacher Sun talk to you guys about?”
Someone asked.
“He wanted Meng Gang to endure two more dragon roars. What nonsensical guidance! Look at Meng Gang, if one more dragon roar came, he most probably would have to be bed-ridden for half a month.”
Li Qiu spoke in disdain. The intern teachers nowadays were getting increasingly unreliable.
“I feel you should listen to his suggestion. That’s Teacher Sun after all.”
Li Qiu’s good friend reminded her out of good will.
“Teacher Sun? Sun Mo? The one that beat up the little prince?”
Meng Gang started. He subconsciously turned his head and hesitated. “Why don’t I give it a try?”
“Let’s just wait. Don’t treat your life as a joke.”
Qiu Li persuaded. “His teaching capabilities might be very strong, but he has not displayed his competency in cultivation yet.”
Qiu Li didn’t want her childhood sweetheart to be a white lab rat. And what if they got targeted by the little prince because they were too closely-tied with Sun Mo?”
“Even if his guiding ability was very strong, could he allow Meng Gang to soar qualitatively?”
Qiu Li had decided not to come in contact with Sun Mo.
…
After another five dragon roars, Sun Mo discovered that the majority of students started to hurry and go outside. As for the teachers, they revealed heavy expressions.
Before Sun Mo could ask why, Duanmu Li had started to explain in an understanding manner.
“The dragon roars that sound out at every exact hour would have its might magnified by ten times. Ordinary students wouldn’t be able to withstand it, and they would directly suffer sudden death.”
Indeed, the dragon roars that sounded out at the exact hours had a different method of release.
An ancient giant dragon over tens of meters long suddenly flew out from the ceiling and moved toward the ground before it started roaring.
Roar~
The soundwaves reverberated, causing clouds of dust to fly up.
After that, the giant dragon slammed into the floor with a bang and vanished from sight. However, the sound of its roar continued lingering for a minute before dissipating.
Sun Mo hurriedly moved toward Mei Ziyu and gave her a massage to help her.
“This is good stuff. As expected of the ultimate treasure of the Dragon Subduing Academy. How good would it be if we could move this place to the Central Province Academy.”
Sun Mo was envious.
“If you guys can still persist, we can go to the next Draconic Human Great Hall.”
Duanmu Li suggested.
“Sure!”
They had bought the tickets, so wouldn’t they lose out if they didn’t visit every place here?
“The Draconic Human Great Hall is as its name implies. Draconic humans will spawn and students can fight against them. After they can defeat 36 draconic humans in one go, they will be qualified to enter the next great hall.”
As Duanmu Li introduced, they walked through another stretch of corridor that was about tens of meters long and entered a great hall glowing with red light.
This place was like a beehive. It was split into eighteen octagon regions and the number of draconic humans was different in each region.
“Interesting!”
Sun Mo stared at the draconic humans. They were about two meters tall with muscular bodies. Their skin was covered in tough scales and they even had tails about a meter long. Their claws were as sharp as the edges of swords and blades, capable of breaking armor. They had heads that resembled lizards.
“Let me try!”
Sun Mo was excited when he saw others going ‘hunting’. After that, when he saw a student climbing out from a region, he immediately jumped down. “Teacher Duanmu, how do I get the draconic humans to appear?”
“Use fresh blood.”
But before Sun Mo could slice the skin on his finger, a barbarian youth already jumped in and berated in a thunderous voice.
“Oi, man from the Central Plains. Scram out from here or don’t blame your daddy for being rude.”
