From Fish to Dragon 146 Return III

The old man beside him nodded; "Only a few years and you're complaining? If other people heard you, they might smack you."

"Hehe." the young man only laughed it off. After a while, nine monsters that were fighting against a single dragon tortoise were defeated. They could hardly deal any damage to their opponent.

This showed that they still had a long way to go, before they could reach the top of humanity.

"Well then, it's almost the end of the week, you two should head to the headmaster's office." the old man said.

"En. See you soon, peak master." the two young men nodded. They began leaving the large meadow that they were in, as they headed off to the headmaster of their universities office.

Knock! Knock!

"Come in." the hoarse voice of an old man resounded. Outside the door, two young men, Ye Qin and Wang Tao opened the door to the headmaster's office. As soon as the door opened, the two brothers' eyes widened.

Standing across from the headmaster's office, was the back of a familiar figure. The familiar figure was someone we all knew. From the back, long white hair that reached the buttocks was seen.

The figure was also wearing a uniform. The Uniform of the Nine Peaks academy. As a university, there was no need for a uniform on normal days. This of course, meant that a uniform was necessary on certain days.

Why? Not only did the uniform represent the academy, but also provided benefits to the wearer. With technological development, even things such as clothing advanced.

The uniform worn by each university, was embedded with special technology that not only provides some protection from cuts, stabs, etc, but also some protection from the heat and cold as well.

Of course, this protection was limited. Against monsters, the protection was hardly worth mentioning, but it was still better than nothing. Just by wearing it, there was a slightly higher chance of survival.

After all, once a human enters the Monster Realm, there are only two outcomes. To be dead or alive.

Now, on the body of a young girl, was that same technology. The young lady wore a skirt along with a blazer. On her feet were long socks that reached her knees, and school shoes.

Looking at her back, Ye Qin and Wang Tao knew what this meant immediately. 'She', had transferred over from the previous number one, War God academy, to the Nine Peaks academy.

Even though the two brothers referred to her as 'her', she obviously had a name. It's just that Ye Qin hadn't called out her name for many years. Her name was Long Bing Rong.

The long, for dragon. Her surname suited her perfectly.

Walking up, Ye Qin and Wang Tao stood beside her, across from the headmaster. "You're here, judging from your reaction just now, you didn't know. I thought I already informed you? I'm getting old, so don't blame me too much."

Ye Qin and Wang Tao nodded.

"That's good, you two should know what to do without me saying so. Oh, by the way, some of the things you requested have arrived." the headmaster continued. He got up from his seat, and went over to a box he had in his office.

Unlocking the box, he took out a smaller box, which was flooding with a rich aura. The aura, of course, came from the items Ye Qin had requested. Each and everything he asked for, was rare and precious.

Even if one had money, they may not necessarily be able to get their hands on it. "Here you go, once the rest are here, I'll get someone to inform you."

"Thank you, headmaster." Ye Qin said, as he put everything into his storage space.

"Alright, off you go. You already have my permission to head out, Go when you are prepared." the headmaster added as the three students left the office.

*********

Outside the office, there was a deadly silence across the hallway. Out of the three, not a single one spoke or even made a sound. Only the sound of their footsteps could be heard.

The three went to the dorms, where Yang Chen and the rest were. Upon their arrival, the members who had participated were shocked. Only Yang Chen recovered after a few breathes of time and smiled.

"This…" Jia Yazhu stuttured.

"En." Wang Tao nodded. Since they were all smart people, no more words needed to be said. They had all seen her uniform, so speech was unnecessary.

After picking out a room, Long Bing Rong didn't stay in her room for long. When they had gathered, she finally spoke; "When are we going?"

"Soon. I need to do something first, come with us." Ye Qin replied. He kept his feelings within himself. It was the first time he had heard her speak in many years.

Nodding her head, Long Bing Rong followed Ye Qin and Wang Tao to the Medicine peak.

**********

Glob! Glob! Glob!

The sound of something boiling could be heard. The source of the sound was from a large cauldron, that was big enough to fit an oven and still have plenty of space. The cauldron was atop a large flame, with water boiling within.

There was another one, just as big beside it, boiling water all the same.

There, four people were standing by the cauldrons. "Well, it's not everyday you get to see something so interesting." an old man spoke. He was obviously the peak master of the Medicine peak.

Ye Qin and Wang Tao grabbed certain materials they needed and threw it all into the cauldrons. Ye Qin watched the flame, while Wang Tao mixed the things together within.

As for Long Bing Rong, she watched curiously with the usual poker face. It was hard to tell what was going on in her mind, since the only thing that moved was her eyelids.

"It's ready." Ye Qin said.

Wang Tao jumped off the ladder and moved it away from the cauldrons. The two brothers then stared at Long Bing Rong. She looked back at them, wondering what they meant for her to do.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Call out your partners." Ye Qin broke the silence.

Long Bing Rong didn't react. In the blink of an eye, two magic circles appeared within the area, as the Enigmatic Photon Dragon, and the Mystic Holy Dragon both appeared at once.

The twin dragons looked around, and noticed two familiar humans. Of course, they didn't attack, since they recognised them. One, was the childhood friend of their master, while the other was his brother.

One, was even the person they had lost to. The dragons looked around and noticed the two cauldrons, that exactly numbered the two of them. They looked at Ye Qin and Wang Tao who were looking at them, before looking at their master.

"Go in." Ye Qin pointed at the cauldrons. The two dragons were slightly confused, they looked at their master who nodded, while curious just as they were.

With their master's permission, the two dragons jumped into the large cauldrons. With their powerful bodies, such heat that would normally cook a human, was nothing for them.
