Chapter 544 The Adorable and Mighty Heavenly Dragon Baby
Upon receiving Jiang Hao's reply, Dean Tianfeng bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, I understand."
He then turned and left. Although he didn't understand why he did it, he didn't ask any questions. As a seasoned veteran, he still had that much insight.
He couldn't fathom what this man was thinking.
In the distance, under the corridor, a group of students gathered together, whispering among themselves, their eyes constantly glancing towards the courtyard where Jiang Hao was.
That courtyard was originally a forbidden area of the academy, and no one had set foot there for many years, but now it has become the residence of that mysterious powerful figure.
There are various rumors and speculations about Jiang Hao's identity.
Some say he's a reclusive old monster, others say he's the strongest martial arts cultivator in the East, a Celestial Martial level expert. Still others say he's an unparalleled Grand Magister, and some even say Jiang Hao is a powerful figure from the Celestial Realm.
Of course, these are all just speculations. No one knows the truth. All they know is that Jiang Hao is very strong and easily made the academy's higher-ups submit.
"What exactly is this new method that senior passed on?" A young man in a blue robe asked, arms crossed, his eyes full of curiosity.
He is a second-year student in martial arts, quite famous among the younger generation, and has a promising future.
The person next to him shook his head: "I don't know. I heard it's a completely new system, different from battle qi and magic, something like... 'using the body as a seed'."
"Using oneself as a seed? What does that mean? Planting yourself as a seed and letting it grow?"
A young man in a white robe frowned. He was an apprentice at the Mage Tower, a second-tier mage, and was both curious and cautious about new things.
"You're asking me? Who should I ask?" The person next to him shrugged.
The crowd was abuzz with discussion; some were interested, while others were skeptical.
"Our cultivation system is already very mature. Many powerful figures have emerged in both martial arts and magic. Why do we need to create a new cultivation system? Is it necessary?" A young man frowned.
"Who knows? Maybe it's a rudimentary technique they're trying out?"
Another trainee lowered his voice, and the surroundings fell silent for a moment, with many people's eyes flashing with wariness.
Those who can enter Tianfeng Academy are all geniuses. They have a solid foundation and a promising future, and they will not rashly gamble on an unknown future.
"Just wait and see, someone will eventually give in." A veteran student leaned against a pillar, arms crossed, his tone resolute.
When new things emerge, most people will choose to wait and see, but there will always be some who will try them out of curiosity or to take a chance, so they are not in a hurry at all.
"Whoever's stupid can go." The murmurs gradually subsided, but everyone's gaze still occasionally drifted toward the attic.
Although they had worries and fears, they were also quite curious.
……
One day, a chubby little dragon wobbled out of the forest.
It wasn't big, only about the size of a puppy, with a pale golden body and smooth, round scales that shimmered with a warm luster in the sunlight.
Its belly was round and plump, like a small ball. When it flew, it was like a clumsy bee, going up and down, but steadily flying towards the direction of Jiang Hao's courtyard.
That posture was undeniably endearing.
"That's... Holy Dragon Evan!" a sharp-eyed student exclaimed.
"That's right, it's Holy Dragon Evan!" Someone's voice changed after taking a serious look.
"Why did the Holy Dragon go to that mysterious powerful figure? Is it going to practice a new technique?"
These words immediately caused an uproar among those around them.
"No way? Holy Dragon Evan is the academy's sacred beast, possessing top-tier dragon bloodline and fifth-tier strength. Many of our academy's instructors and even the vice-dean are no match for it. If it ruins itself while practicing the new technique, the loss will be enormous!"
"Why are you worrying? Evan is smart; if he wasn't confident, would he have gone?"
"What's the use of being smart? Nobody knows the details of the new law. If something goes wrong, who will be responsible?" Someone shook their head, their face full of worry.
The crowd was abuzz with discussion; some expressed regret, while others expressed concern.
Saint Dragon Aiven, the prized treasure of Tianfeng Academy.
The top bloodline among dragons, far surpassing ordinary dragons, with fifth-tier strength, proficient in dragon language magic, extremely high intelligence, and understanding of human nature.
Even the professors and vice deans in the college were no match for it.
Moreover, it looks cute and adorable, round and plump, a hundred times more endearing than those fierce and menacing dragons.
The entire academy cherishes it like a treasure, so they are naturally very worried when they see this situation.
"It flew by! It really flew by!" someone exclaimed.
"It's over, it's over, the Holy Dragon is going to be ruined." Someone covered their face.
"Shut up, maybe it's a good thing?" someone retorted, but their voice lacked conviction.
Everyone's eyes followed the fat dragon as it scaled the courtyard wall and disappeared into the attic courtyard, their hearts pounding with anxiety.
In the courtyard, Jiang Hao sat cross-legged on a blue stone, closing his eyes to rest. Sunlight streamed down from above, making him appear like a deity.
A fluffy head nuzzled against Jiang Hao's knee, bringing warmth and the fresh scent of mountain forest plants, along with a faint milky aroma.
"Eek." The little one tilted his head back and let out a soft, childish cry, like a child begging for candy.
Its big, clear, and innocent eyes completely lacked the majesty expected of a fifth-tier holy dragon.
Jiang Hao opened his eyes, looked at the round little dragon in front of him, and smiled.
"You little rascal, you've finished eating again?"
He raised his hand, and a spiritual fruit appeared out of thin air in his palm. It was pure white and emitted a faint fragrance.
The little fat dragon's eyes lit up instantly. It held the spirit fruit in its two short claws, took a big bite, and juice splashed everywhere.
It ate while making indistinct noises, as if saying thank you, its tail wagging and its wings fluttering joyfully.
The entire dragon was immersed in immense happiness.
"Ha ha."
Seeing the little guy's adorable appearance, Jiang Hao smiled happily again, then reached out and gently stroked the little guy's head; it felt wonderful.
The little guy squinted his eyes, looking completely blissful, his little tail swishing back and forth, like a kitten being petted comfortably.
If the people at the academy saw this, their eyes would pop out.
Saint Dragon Evan has extremely high standards; he doesn't even give a second glance to the group of mentors and elders in the academy.
The vice-president asked it for help, but it ignored him. The president fed it personally, and it left as soon as it finished eating, without ever lingering.
But in front of this mysterious and powerful figure, it behaved as obediently as a puppy, wanting nothing more than to stick to him and never get off.
Jiang Hao found it amusing. This chubby little guy was good-looking and had a good personality. If it were in his previous life, it would definitely be the top pet among all the pets.
This little guy is also quite unique in appearance. His wings are the fleshy wings of a Western dragon, which are wide and powerful when spread out, with faint golden patterns flowing on the wing membrane.
But its body and head resemble an Eastern dragon—long, elegant, and lacking any sense of clumsiness.
Its scales are round and smooth, its facial features are exquisite, and its big eyes are round and bright, like two pieces of amber.
It looks like a combination of Eastern and Western dragons, but Jiang Hao knows that it is not a hybrid of East and West, but a naturally occurring strange dragon species.
In that future timeline, the little dragon is called Baby Dragon.
It will stay by the side of the chosen one, Chen Bei, through countless life-and-death situations, fight side by side, never leave him, and become one of his most loyal companions.
Moreover, this guy has a very impressive background; he's a dragon baby, and his full name is Da De Da Wei Bao Bao Tian Long (Great Virtue and Great Might Baby Heavenly Dragon).
