Dragon The Lone Survivor Chapter 9

There are always flowers blooming all year round, surrounding the forest of books. Today it is drizzling, and the scenery is even fresher.

The Yuling disciple landed on the boat and came here. His companion beside him whispered to him, "Have you memorized everything?"

"It's simple. You can memorize it after reading it once." He sighed unconsciously as he said this. The previous chief examiner was often complained about being too elegant and the questions in the exam were difficult to understand. Now someone too vulgar has come and made everyone feel like crying.

This disciple is the first time to come to the Shulin since the new master Han took office. There are many disciples in Yuling Sect. Sometimes they have been here for decades. There are also fellow disciples that I have never seen. Many cultivators have been in seclusion for many years. This disciple is preparing to discuss the law with others recently, so he came to collect some information.

"Hey, that's Rowan."

Squinting my eyes, I saw a young man sitting at the entrance of the book forest in the drizzle, with his back leaning against the stone Qilin at the entrance. He was frail and petite, letting the raindrops fall on his body. His black hair stuck to his cheeks, and his eyes became increasingly moist.

His spiritual power was so low that it was almost negligible in their eyes, and he was not as domineering as the rumors said...

"Is it really him? He looks like he'd cry if he got punched."

Rowan sat at the entrance of the book forest, reading an album in the rain, while Yu Yi helped him turn the pages.

This is a good book or manual he recently discovered, compiled by disciples of Yuling Sect. It records the conditions of various peaks of Yuling Sect, what kind of magic is suitable for practicing in each place, what its purpose is, and so on.

These days, Rowan occasionally tries to contact people from Yuling Sect, but when he mentions things that happened so long ago, they are basically at a loss. Rowan hopes that this book can give him some inspiration and where his water might be.

Rowan now recognizes some words. The words in this album are not many and not complicated, so he can barely read them.

However, it was not very convenient to read while being caught in the rain, so Rowan held up a small cloud to shield Yu Yi and the book from getting wet.

Xuan Wuzi and a cultivator came hurriedly, and then stopped suddenly, as if they just realized that Rowan was not in the forest of books, but was getting wet in the rain at the door, just like ordinary people basking in the sun.

Rowan glanced at Xuan Wuzi and didn't care much.

Xuan Wuzi also coughed, "Zhu Han, are you reading here?"

"Yeah." Because Xuan Wuzi could recite Yun Ziran's poems and was the first to respond to Rowan, Rowan was willing to pay attention to him now.

The cultivator next to him took a look at Rowan's book. That page was introducing the Yuling Sect's treasure house. He frowned and said, "What the hell is this! How many serious articles have you learned now?"

Rowan: "I haven't learned many articles... Who are you?"

The cultivator snorted expressionlessly, expressing his disdain, "I heard that Lord Han recently praised the crooked poems of an unknown cultivator?"

Rowan: "It's natural to have a name."

Not only famous, but also well-known, now everyone in Yuling clan knows it...

The cultivator's mouth twitched, and he became even more disdainful.

At this time, Finn, who was looking for Rowan, ran out. When he saw them, he forgot what he was going to say and nodded, "Master Dong Wei." He introduced Rowan in a mosquito-like voice: "This is Master Dong Wei, who is very knowledgeable. He was recommended to be the chief minister..."

So when they came over, they were particularly unfriendly to Rowan.

"Oh." Rowan looked at Dong Wei and Xuan Wu Zi, "Haha, then you are a family."

---Both of them were candidates, but neither was selected.

Rowan was just saying this casually. He didn't even care about the position of Zhu Han, let alone the candidates for Zhu Han, because they all owed him money anyway.

But Dongwei was greatly stimulated and felt quite humiliated. This must be Rowan's intention. He angrily said: "Zhu Han, don't you think you are unworthy of this position? I thought you were selected by Mo Jingxuan because you have some strengths. Today, I see that you are really unteachable!"

Rowan fell into deep thought.

Dongwei thought that he had reflected on himself after being criticized by him, so he shook his sleeves and wanted to speak again.

Rowan closed the album in his hand and said, "How come you don't know how to use idioms? Even I can understand what you are saying."

Dong Wei: ...

He heard that Rowan was illiterate, and was afraid that his curses would be too profound and Rowan would not understand, so he did it on purpose.

Dong Wei felt that this was another irony from Rowan, and angrily said, "You, you only have a limited view of the world, and you are ignorant and ignorant!!"

Rowan didn't care: "I don't understand."

Dongwei held his chest, took two steps back, and gasped.

There were people coming and going at the door, and there were already some onlookers standing there. They all couldn't hide their excitement and wanted to see Dong Wei scold Rowan.

It's a pity that Rowan didn't seem to be in any pain, but Dong Wei was about to vomit blood...

Dong Wei felt like he had no idea where to start with Rowan. "You...if your cultivation wasn't so low, I would definitely fight you!"

Even though the Yuling clan members are all well-educated and usually look elegant, in the final analysis, they are not scholars but cultivators.

There are three thousand great ways, each one is different. Your way, my way, your technique, my technique, each one is different. If you can't tell which is right and which is wrong, you will know after fighting.

Among them, there are also those who love and are proficient in fighting, and take Nolan as their target...but this is beside the point.

It would have been better if he didn't mention this. Rowan had been influenced by Master Yun Ziran's works and had become much calmer. When he heard what he said, he immediately got angry. It was your ancestor's fault that his cultivation was low.

Rowan stood up and asked, "How high is your cultivation level? Have you ascended?"

Dong Wei rolled his eyes, "Don't be so unreasonable, I'm not Xuan Wuzi, no matter how thick your shell is, I have a way to break it."

The disciples watching: Oh wow...

After hearing this, Rowan became completely furious and insisted on fighting with Dong Wei.

Finn stopped him and whispered, "Brother Rowan, he must be trying to provoke you, don't be fooled!"

He felt something was wrong the moment he saw it. Every word Dongwei said seemed like he was trying to stir up trouble, and Xuan Wuzi was standing next to them with evasive eyes. He didn't look like he had done anything good. Although this guy came to apologize, with his temper, he might be unwilling to do so in his heart.

As expected, Dong Wei narrowed his eyes and said word by word: "If you lose, please resign from the position of Chief Editor, how about that?"

Finn thought that it was not possible. If Rowan didn't volunteer, Rowan would never be able to give up the position. Even if he lost the fight, he didn't have to resign. If the position had to be particularly good at fighting, then it should be the uncle who did it.

We must persuade Brother Rowan not to be so excited.

Finn whispered: "Brother Rowan, you have profound skills in the art of Dongwei, the Nine Fire Methods, which is known as the dragon-slaying technique!"

Rowan: "What are you killing???"

"Ah?" Daoya said, "It's just a description. It means very powerful, so powerful that it seems to be able to slay a dragon."

But after such a detailed explanation, it doesn't seem impressive at all, and even seems like bragging, Finn thought.

Rowan had heard that he was trying to provoke him on purpose, and was wondering whether he should succeed. But now that he heard this, he knew that he had to beat him.

He stared at Dong Wei with a fierce look and said, "Okay. If you lose, you will recite Yun Ziran's "Crab-eating Poem" a hundred times in the Li Gu River every day!"

Dongwei was delighted to hear his agreement and immediately said, "Okay!"

This Rowan, his cultivation is only about the second realm, so shallow that it can be seen at a glance, the only thing worth mentioning is his strong body. But what does it matter, not to mention that every race has weaknesses, even if he only uses magic, the wily Dong Wei can easily play with Rowan.

"Brother Rowan..." Finn couldn't stop him and whispered, "Do you want me to send a message to my uncle? You, you can't use much spiritual power right now!"

The young man who had been watching the world without knowing anything about the world said, "The realm division of your human race is too ridiculous. Does it mean that as long as you have deep spiritual power and a high realm, you will definitely win?"

Finn was stunned. It was indeed not the case. Nolan was the best proof. Even Brother Rowan had broken Xuan Wuzi's magic weapon. But wasn't that a talent? Not everyone has a great master's uncle...

All the other disciples in the library thought to themselves that they didn't expect Rowan to be so impulsive. It seemed likely that he wouldn't be able to remain the Lord for long.

Even though it is raining now, which is beneficial to water magic, the gap in strength is still there.

More and more people came out to watch.

If one wants to fight, there is no need to go anywhere else. The place can occupy a huge area without moving, and it can expand along with the increase of books and the expansion of the book forest. One can fight outside the book forest.

There is an unwritten rule that when watching a fight, spectators should remain silent, just like a true gentleman who watches chess without saying a word.

Rowan and Dong Wei each took one side. Dong Wei said coldly, "Let's stop here. Since we are fighting over the Book Forest, the one who gets knocked out first will be the loser. How do you think?"

"That's it, let's begin!" Rowan said.

Looking at Rowan's small stature standing opposite Dong Wei, everyone felt a little sorry...

Zhu Han tortured everyone a lot, but it was also a little embarrassing to see him bullying the weak and taking advantage of Rowan's innocence and impulsiveness.

Dongwei is familiar with fire techniques. If it is burned, the seafood will become grilled seafood, which is also delicious... oh poor thing.

Oh, if Zhuhan starts crying later, should they go and comfort him?

Rowan didn't move, and Dong Wei didn't move either. He was secretly happy in his heart. As expected, Rowan was useless except for his physical body. It seemed that there was no need to be afraid of anything anymore.

He took out the magic weapon and was about to use it when he saw a stream of light falling to the ground.

The young man in white looked up from above and asked coldly, "What are you doing?"

The whole audience was in an uproar, it turned out to be the great-grandmaster uncle!

Nolan has been in seclusion for many years, and with his level of cultivation, he has not set foot in the world of books for a long time.

Many young disciples had never seen him before and were excited.

I heard that Nolan was still testing the sword a few days ago. It seems that he has come out of seclusion completely. He also appeared in the forest of books today. Although I don’t know why, they are so lucky to see him!

Finn was even more surprised, as he hadn't yet sent any message to his uncle-master.

Dongwei was also stunned, and said hesitantly: "Disciple and Master Han will try..."

Nolan looked cold and seemed to see through everything.

Dong Wei's lips moved and he confessed, "I really don't want to accept it, so I made a promise with him that if he loses, I will resign from the position of Master Han!"

Nolan said coldly: "How insolent!"

Dongwei also knew that this was not just a flattery. It was against the rules to secretly force someone to resign. He trembled all over at the scolding, "Disciple knows I'm wrong, but..."

Before he could finish his words, the evil spirit with a very bad temper drew his sword without even waiting for his explanation!

The sword came like a tide of mountains, surging towards him.

Dongwei's face turned pale, and he ran forward frantically, but there was an edge of immovable ground in front of him. He rushed forward in time and grabbed the rock with one hand, but the sword intent was suddenly restrained in front of him. This wild sword intent that could be restrained freely made everyone present dare not breathe.

Dong Wei was frightened like this, and was sweating profusely. He said with one hand hanging: "Thank you, uncle-master, for showing mercy. Disciple..."

At this moment, many people at the scene saw that Rowan, who had been silent, moved.

A cloud of mist gradually grew thicker and rose up, blocking his way. He took advantage of the cloud's cover and slowly walked towards Dongwei, while Nolan and Dongwei turned a blind eye to it.

Everyone:?

This move is clearly an illusion. At first, only the Mirage Clan in the Water Clan knew how to use it. The Mirage is the illusion created by the Mirage Clan's breathing. Later, other tribes also learned it. After many years of development, in theory, it is a branch of Water Law.

Creating an illusion of hiding like this is the most basic thing, and it should be invisible to everyone.

From Dong Wei's angle, they could only see phantoms, but those standing behind Rowan could clearly see Rowan's movements.

Then it was clear that Rowan had deliberately shown them the action. Didn't you see that Rowan even winked at Finn?

Dong Wei was still crying over there, and Rowan tiptoed over there.

Everyone was shocked and didn't know what to say. What on earth was Rowan trying to do? Dongwei didn't notice, but did his uncle-master also not notice and just indulge him like that?

Finn was sweating profusely, his uncle-master was too good to Brother Rowan...

Rowan walked over slowly and steadily, then raised his fist and hit Dong Wei's only hand that was clinging to the rock.

Rowan was so strong that Dong Wei was caught off guard. He screamed and fell to the ground, falling into the Li Gu River.

Everyone was stunned. They just watched as Dong Wei was smashed to the ground...

Wait, smash the ground to the ground?

Some people felt something was wrong, and at this time, that "Nolan" had turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared together with the wisp of smoke in front of Rowan just now.

Everyone: ...

It’s actually an illusion???

It's incredible...

Everyone has been practicing hard along the way, and has gone through all kinds of illusion tests, and no one knows how many they have experienced.

And why can this illusion technique only be considered a small branch of water magic? Because it is not as good as water magic. Flowers in the mirror and moons in the water cannot become the great way. Water magic is the true way. Those who have immersed themselves in the forest of books and studied it basically know it.

This single illusion is the foundation of illusion.

But Rowan's illusion only used such a low level of spiritual power, or he might have only used so much spiritual power. He used a trivial skill from a branch of water magic to create a Nolan that no one could see through. Even his sword intent was realistic and dangerous!

Not to mention Dongwei, any one of them would be fooled because they would definitely not be able to withstand the fake sword stabbing into their bodies.

The illusion is so real that it is almost hard to believe that it was created by Rowan. No, it should be this kind of control. It is hard to believe that Rowan is only at the initial stage of purification.

"Oh my god, I, I know... Rowan should be a mirage."

"It's possible, that's why he has a hard shell, looks like he has no bones, and is proficient in illusions---"

"It seems that our sect also has the Mirage Clan, but they are not so powerful... Is he really only at the First Stage of Purification (Second Stage)?"

"It's hard to say... maybe it's a disguise? Some monsters are good at this. But when has Lord Han ever met his great-grandmaster? This is too real."

"Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, doesn't the book say that giant clams with strong dragon blood can choose to record a certain scene in their lifetime, and it's extremely realistic?"

---At this moment, Finn was the only one who did not believe that Rowan was a member of the Mirage Clan.

The words that Brother Rowan said before he left the field made him more willing to believe that this was a judgment made by Brother Rowan based on his own lack of spiritual power, in order to gain the biggest benefit with the smallest investment.

He couldn't help but wonder what level of cultivation Rowan had reached before he was restricted by the Spirit Control Ring.

No, Brother Rowan has already said that we should not judge a cultivator solely by his spiritual power and realm...

Winning a cross-border competition once may be accidental, but winning twice, and when the opponent is well prepared, is a test of strength. Now it seems that Rowan, the master, may really have some ability. At least, if you weigh it, you will know whether you can overthrow him.

And now thinking back, how Dong Wei was thrown into the river by Rowan in front of them, the onlookers felt even more terrified...

Zhu Han's cuteness is only on the surface. It must be the result of countless times of playing dirty tricks on him.

At this time, Rowan looked over with his hands on his h!ps, and laughed, "Dragon-slaying technique? Haha!"

There was silence for a moment, and then there was thunderous applause and even sounds of flattery.

"Master Han is awesome! This scene makes me want to borrow a line from Yun Zi Ran Zhenren's poem to express my feelings!"

Everyone was laughing, except Xuan Wuzi who was crying.

...

Finn carried the atlas and sent Rowan back, still chattering all the way. Rowan crossed the border today and beat Dong Wei. After Dong Wei was fished out, he was sent to the medicine dock that specializes in medicine. I guess he won't dare to appear in the book forest for a long time. By the way, he still has to go out to boat and recite poems, miserable.

There was also Xuan Wuzi. Finn also complained about him, "I can't listen to his sweet words anymore!"

"Yeah." Rowan said absentmindedly, "The atlas is here."

He tapped the desktop.

Finn said shyly: "Um... Brother Rowan, I actually want to ask, can you teach me..."

He admired him so much. If he could also pretend to be an uncle-master, it would be so impressive.

"You are not suitable for learning illusion." Rowan said without thinking.

Finn looked disappointed, but he believed in Rowan and didn't say much. "By the way, Rowan, how do you sleep at night? You don't lie in the river, do you? I don't think there are any signs of living here."

Finn discovered this problem when he was having a drink here last time, but he didn't have time to ask.

Coming here again now, there is still no sign of habitation here. He is a little confused because this room was clearly chosen by Rowan himself.

Rowan: "Hey, I always sleep in Nolan's room."

Finn was silent for a while, then asked weakly: "Where does the master uncle live..."

Rowan: "?"

Is this question serious? Rowan looked at him strangely, "Of course he lives in his own room."

Michiya: "????!!"

It is no exaggeration to say that this answer surprised him more than when Rowan punched Dong Wei away!

"Hey, you can go now. I'm going to go find Nolan to sleep now." Rowan stood up, "I'll see you off."

"No...I...wait..." Finn wanted to say something else, but Rowan stretched out his hand, and the cloud around his waist circled Finn, who still had a lot to say, and took him out.

Rowan poked his head into Nolan's room, trotted in, holding hot spring water in his hand, "Would you like some tea?"

He wanted to tell Nolan that he had used magic to transform Nolan today, and it would be best if Nolan himself could see it and see if it was really great. After seeing Nolan draw his sword that day, he couldn't forget it.

Nolan had also given him tea before, so he deliberately forced someone to teach him how to make tea.

Nolan curled his lips and said, "I want to---"

Hey, this wasn't the case just now, why did it suddenly change?

But don't try to hide it from him.

Rowan sat down and even tapped the table: "Oh, then I want white tea, hurry up."

Nolan: ...

He flicked the flying black dots in the air with annoyance. Although it was a small matter, it really made him more dissatisfied with Rowan's discriminatory treatment...
