Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 615: Section 611 - Shishan Dormitory

Riding a dragon is just a different feeling.

Looking down to see the ground swiftly receding below, I was instantly delighted.

Although the edges of the Metallic Dragon's scales seemed as sharp as knives, as soon as Chen Fei sat on them, they dulled and transformed into a saddle.

I really wanted to pluck a dragon scale to try, and with a sleight of hand...

Uh?

Yikes!!!

It actually came off—a plate-sized piece decorated with runes, no less.

Holy crap!

The bold and mischievous Chen Xiao'er acted nonchalant as he tucked the rune-etched dragon scale into his alchemical storage artifact on his right wrist.

With so many scales on a giant dragon, missing one doesn't really matter, kiss kiss, no worries.

"Boom!~"

Whether it was because of the sudden loss of a dragon scale, Yilan, with its innate "Void Magnetic Field" fully activated, abruptly surged forward, violently breaking the sound barrier.

Plucking a scale from a Metallic Dragon was riskier than touching a mother tiger's backside—it was a task unheard of among both the living and the dead.

The sudden acceleration caught Chen Fei off guard, pressing him firmly into the saddle, grateful for his "Dragon Guard" Single Soldier Tactical Armor, without which he would have been gasping for air.

"Whoa!~"

This acceleration... too fast!

It was fortunate that the back of the dragon had automatically evolved into a saddle; otherwise, this single sprint could have thrown him off.

In the midst of the raging, supersonic wind currents, the gleaming, black feathers of Little Bird flowed with a faint shimmer, seemingly unaffected, hopping about happily on Chen Fei like a casual stroll in the park.

A natural flyer, why would it care about such a minor air current?

At full speed, the little guy could also break the sound barrier and even sync up with a fighter jet, running around on its surface—the little scene now was nothing to mention.

The Imperial Capital Delan City in the Silan Dynasty was a restricted airspace where both flying species and aircraft needed authorization to pass through or take off from the main city district and the sixteen satellite cities. Otherwise, they would be shot down on sight.

The Metallic Dragons, adolescent dragons fostered by the Silan Royal Family, were one of the flying species with authorization, and usually, their flight plans were expedited for approval.

Had it not been for that, Yilan would have probably been shot down as soon as it left the University Town.

The female Metallic Dragon carried Chen Fei and Xiao Jiu straight up to an altitude of ten thousand meters before diving in... Well, more accurately, free gliding all the way to the sky above University Town before slamming down toward a small hill.

Having borne the landings of flying species countless times, the summit had been trampled quite flat, as hard as nails.

The rocky hill, around five hundred meters high, was covered with caves of varying sizes, providing habitats for dragons and other magical beasts. Yilan's dormitory was one of them.

A Mountain-Loop Road spiraled from the summit to the base, connecting the various caves along the way. Here, both flying and land-based species had to honestly walk, and there was a speed limit as well.

Despite the craggy, unnaturally stacked stones around the mountain and cave entrances and the sparse plant life consisting mainly of low shrubs and wild grass, the caves not only had water and electricity but also network signals. The temperature was naturally constant and quite comfortable for living.

A bulky dragon lay sprawled on the summit, speaking without lifting its head or opening its eyes, "This is a dormitory area. You are not allowed to bring little animals like cats and dogs into the dorm!"

It was the Old Earth Dragon, the dormitory supervisor that Yilan mentioned since pets were not permitted in the student dorms, not even as snacks or meals.

Because of its advanced age, it had lost the ability to fly and was merely an Earth Element Giant Dragon surviving on a pension at the academy—literally living out its days in wait for death.

The numerous stone caves across the mountain were all carved out by this elderly Earth Element Dragon. Despite having grown too old to retain much combat strength, it was still capable of tasks like breaking rocks and digging soil.

In the old dragon's eyes, the humans on the back of the female Metallic Giant Dragon were akin to pets. A Knight? A Dragon Knight? Absolutely impossible!

Sky Dragon City had reclaimed all the Dragon Flutes, terminated the contracts with the human knights, and there were no longer any Dragon Knights or Dragon Chevaliers needed in the world.

As for the Pure Light Sparrow?

These little creatures are everywhere. Even the Dragon King couldn't stop them from flying wherever they wanted, right?

"Little animals? Old fellow, open your eyes and take a good look. He's human, okay?"

The female Metallic Dragon, Yilan, carried Chen Fei and continued walking down the Mountain-Loop Road, annoyed that it had mistaken its good friend for a cat or a dog. It would have been better for this old, half-blind Earth Dragon to just die off.

The advanced-aged Earth Element Giant Dragon, the dormitory supervisor, remained silent.

If this were two thousand years earlier, it would have certainly disciplined the ignorant young dragon until it was howling in submission. But now? Well, a good dragon doesn't dwell on past glory. It couldn't afford to provoke or beat the younger dragon, so it stayed without temper. No temper = good temper. After all, elderly beings should be kind and amiable.

"Good afternoon!"

Chen Fei, who was riding on the back of Yilan, greeted the Terrestrial Dragon.

"Chirp!"

The Little Bird flew from Chen Fei's shoulder, landed in front of the old dragon, and cocked its head curiously as it sized up the Terrestrial Giant Dragon.

It was its first time on Cangqiong Star, so everything it saw was novel.

"Hmmph!"

The Terrestrial Dragon exhaled a gust of air from its nostrils, and a faint white light suddenly appeared on the audacious Pure Light Sparrow, as a Light System Magic Shield materialized out of thin air, leaving the little bird unshaken.

After all, the difference in size between them was too great; without the protection of a Magic Shield, a mere breath from the old dragon would be enough to blow the little one head over heels several times.

"Chirp!"

A burst of intense white light exploded in front of the Terrestrial Giant Dragon, enveloping an area several meters around.

The Terrestrial Giant Dragon immediately could see nothing.

It: "..."

To be bullied by a sparrow in its twilight years, even such a small creature dared to unleash "Light Burst Flash" right in its face!

The old dragon bared its teeth, and the Little Bird quickly soared into the air, chirping loudly as it flew back to Daddy Chen Fei's shoulder, then hopped around triumphantly.

"Well done, little one!"

Yilan, the female Metallic Dragon, turned her head in approval, glancing at the little one.

She didn't regret giving it the Light Beast Crystal Core—this Pure Light Sparrow was completely worth cultivating.

"Xiao Jiu is already Human Order Fourth Rank."

Chen Fei felt it was necessary to update Yilan, the investing dragon, on the Little Bird's growth.

Xiao Jiu's advancement to Human Order Fourth Rank was a testament to the great achievements of the female Metallic Dragon; without the Third Rank Earth Order Light-element Magical Beast Crystal Core, it would have been impossible for him to cultivate it to this level by himself—probably Second Rank would have been the limit.

"Huh? Fourth Rank?"

Yilan, who was running on the Mountain-Loop Road, halted in her tracks, immediately crying out in delight.

"You're awesome, my Jiu!"

The roar of the female Metallic Dragon could be heard clearly throughout the Rocky Mountain.

Most of the teachers and students were in their cave dormitories by then, and many poked their heads out to look, only to quickly retract upon seeing it was Yilan.

The Metallic Dragons' bad reputation had yet to be fully turned around, especially since Yilan hadn't refrained from sorting out her younger brother Cobalt Luo here, fighting with a ferocity that shook the heavens and earth.

The praised Little Bird flew up to Yilan's dragon horn, hopping back and forth while releasing a sizeable Illumination Technique.

A Light Orb more than a meter in diameter hovered above the heads of the human and dragon, like a miniature sun.

The Pure Light Sparrow, at Human Order Fourth Rank, was able to enhance the potency when releasing Low Rank Spells, and the First Rank "Illumination Technique" became unusually large.

Metallic Dragons were famously magic-resistant; even though they could cast spells through some means, the residents inside the Rocky Mountain Cave didn't believe that the unusually large "Illumination Technique" orb was released by Yilan. They also instinctively ignored the diminutive Pure Light Sparrow, assuming instead that the female Metallic Dragon had somehow caught a hapless Human Mage, who most likely faced a dire fate.

"Hey, Yilan, killing is not allowed in the dormitory, nor is it permissible to abuse Intelligent Species!"

One Magical Beast boldly reminded from a distance, confident in its higher rank compared to Yilan, not necessarily sure it would come out on top if a fight ensued.

"If that human needs help, just shout."

It seemed that some Magical Beasts were genuinely concerned about Chen Fei on Yilan's back, worried he had been kidnapped.

Yet, not a single Intelligent Species believed that a Metallic Dragon would be friends with a human; the Dragon of Slaughter itself connoted life-threatening danger.

"Pah, pah, pah, he is my friend, a good friend! You've got no right to make wild guesses!"

Yilan couldn't contain her irritation. Was her dragon reputation really that bad?

Well, well, well! Considering how Cobalt Luo was treated, even his own kind weren't spared, let alone other Intelligent Species.

"Thanks for your concern, everyone. Yilan and I are indeed good friends!"

Chen Fei used the "Dragon Guard's" megaphone to amplify his voice.

As a friend, he had to take the initiative to clear Yilan's name.

As Chen Fei's words fell, many heads peeked out from the caves. Could today's Holy Flame Sun be setting from another direction? The hot-tempered female Metallic Dragon Yilan actually having a human friend was unheard of. Had this Human friend lost his mind?
