After finally winning, I sat down on the ground, exhausted.
My two roommates and Green Hair rushed onto the stage and hugged me excitedly, "Boss. You won. You won."
I looked at them tiredly, "Stop shaking me. Go away. I want to sleep…" I fainted midway through my sentence. I've already overused my magic power, plus it was the first time I've used someone else's power. My body couldn't take it anymore and passed out in safe hands.
"Eh? Why am I in Teacher Xiu's room?" Waking up, my body was sore all over with no strength remaining whatsoever. I tried to condense my magic power, but I've only recovered I tiny portion of it. The pitifully small black-blue ball inside me was slowly spinning, continuously recovering my power. Looks like I won't be able to recover within a day or two.
I was alone in the room. The sun was out but I didn't know exactly what time of the day it was.
The door opened with a creak and Teacher Xiu walked in, "You're awake. How's your body?
"It's fine, just feeling a bit weak. Teacher Xiu, how come I'm here??"
"I wanted to tell something, while you were practising, I saw, you combine Black-Blue Solid ball of magic. so it's related to that..." Teacher Xiu said.
"it's about Xiao Hei!!" he said
"What about Xiao Hei?" I asked
Teacher Xiu, "If you look at it like this that you combined two energies into a solid, it can only by the help of an Advanced Dragon type magical beast, Xiao Hei is not a snake-type magic beast, but a…"
Teacher Xiu and I glanced at each other and spoke at the same time. "….Dragon." Xiao Hei is a dragon? Is it possible???
"Quick, summon Xiao Hei." I also wanted to see if Xiao Hei actually is a dragon. Furthermore, it had been a long time since I let him out, don't know if there have been any changes.
After Teacher Xiu set a barrier around the room, I started to chant, "My friend Xiao Xiu, appear before me." Following my simple chant, a Black smoke with blue light flashed and Xiao Hei appeared in front of me.
Xiao Hei had grown quite a bit compared to the last time I saw him. His two horns seem to be growing towards the middle of his head and the blue stripes goes down his whole body, from head to tail. The fin-shaped objects on his back have become sturdier and longer, they practically took up the whole upper half of the back of his body. The five protrusions on his underside have not only grown quite a bit, but at the very front they also seemed to each have a small round pad at the end.
"He's already this big?" Teacher Xiu had not seen Xiao Hei's grown-up appearance yet.
"Teacher Xiu, is he a dragon?"
"I can't really say, I've never seen a dragon before either. However, my memories tell me that dragons are supposed to have two claws. If those bumps on his underside are claws, then that's a bit too many. Wait, I'm going to look through my book. It's been many years since I have read it."
While talking, Teacher Xiu took an ancient book from his huge bookshelf. I moved closer to take a look, the title of the book is "The True Rulers of the Mainland – Dragons". Looks like it's a book specifically on dragons.
"Let's see, let's see." Teacher Xiu mutters as he flips through the book. He goes through the book extremely fast, practically only scanning each page before moving on. Suddenly, he stopped, looks at Xiao Hei and then looks back at the book. As if he was comparing something.
"Did you find it? Is Xiao Hei actually a dragon?" I stood on my tippy-toes to read the book in Teacher Xiu's hands.
"Zhang Ling. If the information on the book is correct, then you have really picked up a treasure."
"What does the book say?"
"You take a look, this article here." Teacher Xiu handed the book over to me and just stared at Xiao Hei, as if he was admiring a long-extinct treasure.
I took the book. On the book was this:
Title: Ruler of the Dragons – Five-Clawed Golden Dragon
Introduction: The Five-Clawed Golden Dragon is the ruler of the Dragon race, also known as the Dragon King. The Dragon King of each generation is the strongest of his kin and possesses abnormally strong strength. The life span of a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon is approximately 20,000 years. Only when he turns 15,000 years or when he feels that his life span is ending will he mate with the most beautiful female dragon at the time. After a pregnancy period of over 1,000 years, the next generation would be born. When the new Five-Clawed Golden Dragon has grown and matured at 3,000 years old, he will become a true Dragon King, replacing his father in ruling the dragon race. At this point, the previous Dragon King's body would have already gradually aged and would be enjoying his retirement in the Dragon race's territory. Therefore, there is only one Five-Clawed Golden Dragon in every generation that is the true ruler. The Five-Clawed Golden Dragon not only possesses an abnormally strong physical strength, but it is also an expert in the Dragon race's language spells showing that it is extremely intelligent.
"Zhang ling, I have also heard that the Radiant God's dragon is also a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon!!!" he said with a smile
"whoa!! but I still don't understand?? Teacher Xiu, this can't be true. Xiao Hei is a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon? If he is, he needs why is he Black??".
