Am I a crispy college student? The whole internet says that I'm hard to kill!-Chapter 435: Carefully Selected Promising Talent
Seeing the dent in the ground left behind, Wu Bin was a bit stunned.
How could such a lightweight stick create a pit when he casually placed it down?
Saul was also extremely shocked and hastily said, "Master truly has the power of a god!"
"Although this stick only weighs a little over a hundred pounds, I found that it seems to have a miraculous effect on breaking things."
"You see, my floor tiles are not ordinary; even using common magical artifacts, it’s hard to break these tiles, not to mention creating a hole that easily."
Zhu Ling’s eyes sparkled with excitement.
She seemed to have thought of something and directly said to Wu Bin, "Brother, do you still have blood on your hand?"
Wu Bin was on guard.
"What for?"
"For the blood recognition ritual!"
Zhu Ling grabbed Wu Bin’s hand, and seriously said, "Generally, magical artifacts with a spirit require a blood recognition ritual. I think this stick is extraordinary, so it should also require a blood ritual."
Wu Bin did not know whether to laugh or cry. What era was it still using blood recognition rituals?
However, Wu Bin really couldn’t outstubborn Zhu Ling and thus let her make another cut on his hand.
When the fresh blood dripped onto the stick, something magical happened!
The greenish rust on the stick disappeared, replaced by a shimmering red and gold.
It was then that Zhu Ling realized, it was a gold-inlaid stick with a dragon head!
The stick seemed to have its own glow, shining brilliantly in Wu Bin’s hand, clearly no ordinary item.
Weirdly enough, Wu Bin also felt a mystical connection with the stick.
"It really needed a blood recognition ritual, Saul, this is a great achievement!"
Zhu Ling had always wanted to find a suitable weapon for Wu Bin since he now often had to accompany Nightingale and was especially against such dishonorable organizations as Dark Raven. How could he do without a good weapon?
Wu Bin was also very satisfied with the stick.
After all, which man could refuse a stick that looked so cool?
"The stick is good, but it’s a bit too ostentatious. I can’t just carry a stick around everywhere, can I?"
No sooner had Wu Bin spoken than the stick underwent a transformation.
The stick shrank and curved, finally turning into a bracelet on Wu Bin’s right wrist!
Seeing this, the three of them widened their eyes in amazement.
"This… this stick can transform?"
Holy shit!
Could the legend be true?
Did a monkey really once come to the East Sea Dragon Palace?
At this moment, Wu Bin felt his scalp tingle.
He had thought it all to be just legend, but who knew the legend would crash into reality and it seemed he had risen to the occasion?
After confirming that Saul had no other good items, Zhu Ling said to him, "Outside, no one knows you’ve acknowledged my brother as your master. Since you wouldn’t die anyway, you might as well just leave with us."
Saul nodded his head, indicating that he would follow whatever Zhu Ling arranged.
Saul had known ever since the humans discovered this cave that it would eventually be taken over by the people from Institution Nine.
If he hadn’t acknowledged Wu Bin as his master, maybe after he died, his body would have been subject to study by the people from Institution Nine.
That would have truly been a disgrace for a dragon.
Saul had one last look at his cave before transforming into a streak of light and vanishing into Wu Bin’s bracelet.
The dragon head bracelet on Wu Bin’s wrist immediately lit up, turning a gemstone blue.
Zhu Ling unlocked the vortex seal and then led Wu Bin out of the cave.
Han Chun couldn’t help but look inside the cave and discovered to her surprise that the dragon was gone.
"Zhu Ling, where’s the dragon?"
Zhu Ling simply started to lie.
"Oh, he was about to die anyway, so he left on his own to die somewhere else."
"Before he left, he said that this place and the Dragon Palace of the East Sea now belong to your sector nine. You can do whatever you want here without his permission."
Hearing Zhu Ling say this, Han Chun felt both excited and disappointed.

She was excited that their sector nine truly could own this place entirely.
Originally, Han Chun thought if the dragon didn’t agree, sector nine might have to send many Supernatural Beings to attack, which would likely lead to heavy casualties among their people.
She felt disappointed that they had let the dragon escape.
After all, every dragon corpse was of great help to their research.
Now having lost a dragon corpse for nothing, Han Chun naturally felt regret.
As if knowing what Han Chun was thinking, Zhu Ling spoke up, "Our dragons are just like you humans; once we die, we don’t like to be disturbed."
"So, you shouldn’t think about finding him anymore. Even if you do find him, the place might be full of traps or guarded by Dragon Slaves, and it is not worth sacrificing more lives for a dead dragon, right?"
Han Chun nodded, feeling that Zhu Ling had a point.
"Forget it, having just the Dragon Palace of the East Sea is already enough. This is the biggest secret treasure we’ve discovered so far, and with this, I can report back."
Han Chun said this as she led them out.
After arranging for the people of sector nine to set up a guard here, she finally boarded the submarine and surfaced.
Fifteen minutes later, they returned to shore.
However, as soon as Han Chun and her team entered the command room, they found it full of people.
The people from sector nine were easy to recognize; they were all in different styles of uniforms.
But there was also a group of people in casual clothes in the command room.
They all looked coldly at them, some even with a murderous glare in their eyes.
Han Chun ignored these people and walked up to a middle-aged man.
"Director Wang, we’re back."
"Based on the intelligence we previously obtained, we discovered a tomb where a giant dragon resided and found the real entrance to the Dragon Palace of the East Sea."
Listening to Han Chun, Wang Zhi nodded.
"Okay, let’s put aside the matter of the Dragon Palace of the East Sea for now. First, explain what happened to the other three people. Why didn’t they come back?"
Han Chun knew Wang Zhi would ask this, so she replied, "Although we found the entrance to the Dragon Palace of the East Sea, it was full of mechanisms inside. Unfortunately, the three of them met their demise."
Upon hearing what Wang Zhi said, those from the hidden families could no longer hold back.
"Nonsense! Even if there were many traps below, how could it be that only our people died while you are all unscathed?"
"Exactly! They were all carefully selected talents from our families, protected by charms; how could they die so easily?"
"Both of these are ordinary college students, aren’t they? Our people died, but these two college students didn’t, Director Wang, does this seem reasonable to you?"
Wang Zhi didn’t speak, instead choosing to let Han Chun explain.
Just then, Wu Bin spoke up, "Carefully selected talents? Talents that don’t follow commands, you mean? We already warned them about possible traps, yet they insisted on doing their own thing. If not them, then who else should have died?"
