After The Abyss Dragon Woke Up-Chapter 75.1

So What? (1)

Sitting in the passenger seat, Shi An was deep in thought.

He could not understand what had just happened.

He felt that every step seemed correct, but the ending was completely different from what he had imagined.

What was going on here?

Only when the car stopped did Shi An pull himself out of his thoughts.

He realized that he had no idea where they were going and what they were doing.

“… Where is this?” Shi An asked, blinking in confusion.

“You’re following along even if you don’t know where you’re going?”

Mu Heng lowered his eyes and scanned him with a rare bit of flirtation in his voice. “You’re too easily kidnapped.”

Shi An: “…”

I was merely distracted for a bit too long!

Shi An raised an eyebrow and argued, “But isn’t this because you’re leading the way?”

What evil intentions could the shiny collection have?

Mu Heng’s eyes darkened slightly upon hearing this as he was stunned.

The young man in front of him was not even half conscious of what he had unintentionally said, completely unaware of how… dangerous such an attitude of pure trust and dependence could be.

Mu Heng withdrew his gaze, his voice slightly muffled, and changed the subject without batting an eye.

“… Let’s get out of the car.”

In front of them was a huge, round building that looked similar to the Wang family's training ground that Shi An had previously visited, but it was much more vast and grand.

Zhuo Fu stood in front of the building and waved at them.

“This is the Mu family’s private training place.” As they entered, Zhuo Fu introduced the place to Shi An. “Even though it looks high-tech now, it’s hundreds of years old and has been renovated from generation to generation.”

“I must thank Chief Mu for lending this place and permitting me to test my testing device.”

Shi An asked, “A testing device?”

Zhuo Fu nodded and said enthusiastically, “That’s right. It can intelligently customize the most suitable training method for the subject based on the individual's unique magic level, guaranteeing twice the result with half the effort!”

Shi An turned his head toward Mu Heng and looked over.

Mu Heng said, “Wen Yao told me everything happened outside the abyssal rift last time.”

He lowered his eyes to look at Shi An, eyes inexplicable. “She said you were very powerful.”

After suitable training, he could become more powerful.

“Fire system?”

Shi An didn’t know exactly what the other party was trying to do, but he nodded cautiously.

“Okay.”

Mu Heng said lightly and turned to walk off the field.

Shi An: “???”

A glass wall rose, blocking Mu Heng and Zhuo Fu out.

Immediately afterward, the ground slowly opened up nearby and a faceless machine puppet appeared.

Mu Heng’s voice came from overhead. “Give it a try.”

Shi An: “???”

Wait a minute?

I haven’t even said anything yet. How come I’m supposed to start training?

Noticing that Shi An hadn’t moved for a while, Zhuo Fu’s voice sounded out, “It’s very simple. You can attack the puppet using fire magic…”

Shi An: “…”

It’s not like I can’t understand the process!

But it had come to this, so Shi An forcefully summoned a cluster of flame and threw it at the puppet’s head.

He didn’t use the dragon flame.

The dragon flame was too strong and wouldn’t be a power that any human could possess. It would be okay to use it for external battles only where others could see that it was strong but didn’t know how strong it was.

But fooling others would not be possible once faced with the testing device.

However, despite not planning to use the dragon flame, Shi An, as a dragon, could still produce a more powerful burst even if he just used the firepower alone.

So this time, Shi An was very cautious in applying his power.

Zhuo Fu said, “Mm, not bad.”

Mu Heng’s voice was cold and low, quickly drowning out Zhuo Fu’s voice. “Only this?”

Shi An: “…”

… What kind of tone is that?

Shi An slowly narrowed his eyes.

How could someone question his strength in the fire system?

Although he wouldn’t use the dragon flame, Shi An, a proud dragon, couldn’t hold back his anger!

–It seemed that he was finally getting serious.

Mu Heng withdrew his eyes and looked at Zhuo Fu. “You can continue.”

Zhuo Fu froze: “O-Okay!”

He lowered his head and tapped several times on the operation panel.

The floor in the middle of the field opened up at several corners and a full array of eight puppets emerged from below, surrounding the young man.

Shi An lifted his hand and a golden flame leaped from his slender palm.

It was not dragon flame but a simple fire spell.

In the next second, the meteor-like falling fire exploded in the air with a loud boom before falling with swift precision, the flames roaring and exploding in the enclosed field as they surged into the sky with a roar.

Zhuo Fu’s pupils constricted.

The young man stood in the middle of the flames, his slender form seemingly swallowed by the monstrous flames around him like a dark, stark shadow wedged hard into the brilliant, flamboyant colors. His fair side was tinted with a golden-red light, his dark eyes beneath long eyelashes reflecting the leaping fire, looking dangerous and contradictory.

Mu Heng took a slow step forward.

His eyes fell on the young man in the distance, the color of his eyes reflecting a brilliant blue by the firelight, the undisguised aggression and violence shining under them.

His predatory instincts were stirring, tumbling, screaming.

He subconsciously lifted his hand and pressed it against the glass.

The desire had never been so clear and strong.

–To yank him down, break his wings, lock him up beside him, and become his sole possession.

Then, Zhuo Fu reacted, looking hastily down toward the panel.

The magic strength and the killing power values were all so high that he was stunned, almost unable to believe that this was a flame unleashed by a student of the Ability Academy who had just come of age.
