Cultivation Simulator: Shocking the Academy-Chapter 443 - 296: Sneak Attack on the Sinful Junior Martial Uncle
Luo Chen let out a long breath, finally relieving a bit of the tension in his heart. He knew that being able to witness the true form of the Blue Dragon today was a great fortune. At the same time, he deeply realized that in this world, there are still many unknown and mysterious creatures waiting for humans to explore and discover.
Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the treetops, falling in dappled patches by the edge of the pond. The pond’s water was clear to the bottom, glistening, and a massive Blue Dragon swam within, its figure faintly visible in the water, exuding an aura of majesty and inviolability. The Blue Dragon did not sink to the bottom but instead exposed its head, its sharp dragon eyes fixating on the restless herd of cattle on the shore.
Luo Chen carefully stepped on the gravel ground, his gaze searching around for the Junior Martial Uncle from the Brahma Pure Sect. The area had become unusually quiet due to the presence of the Blue Dragon, broken only occasionally by the sound of mooing cattle. Soon, Luo Chen’s eyes locked onto a figure—that was the Junior Martial Uncle from the Brahma Pure Sect, drenched and somewhat disheveled.
It seemed the Junior Martial Uncle hadn’t been directly hit by the Blue Dragon’s water column, but because he was too close to the pond, the massive splashes caused by the dragon’s leap soaked him thoroughly. Surprisingly, however, the formidable Blue Dragon seemed to ignore the Junior Martial Uncle who was just within reach, as if it had no interest in him at all.
The Junior Martial Uncle apparently noticed this as well, and his courage gradually grew. While vigilantly watching the Blue Dragon in the water, he searched among the debris for traces of the Top-grade Soul Beast Divine Stone. Luo Chen hid in the shadows, quietly observing everything, and couldn’t help but feel puzzled: Why did the Blue Dragon ignore the Junior Martial Uncle so completely?
This question was soon answered by Luo Chen himself. Faced with the large herd of cattle on the shore, the Blue Dragon naturally wouldn’t be interested in a relatively insignificant human. After all, in the eyes of the Blue Dragon, the small and delicate human probably wasn’t even enough to fill the gap in its teeth. Moreover, the Blue Dragon might also know that humans are not easily dealt with targets, and rather than gaining a disproportionate reward, it preferred to target those seemingly easier-to-capture big black wild cows.
This realization made Luo Chen’s heart race suddenly. He understood that this was the best time to ambush the Junior Martial Uncle. Because, at this moment, the Junior Martial Uncle had almost all his attention focused on guarding against the Blue Dragon and searching for the Soul Beast Divine Stone, unlikely to imagine anyone would ambush him now.
Luo Chen took a deep breath, trying to calm his excitement. He slowly approached the Junior Martial Uncle, his steps light and soundless. He knew he had to seize this fleeting opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to the Junior Martial Uncle. As the distance narrowed, Luo Chen could clearly sense the aura fluctuations from the Junior Martial Uncle and his tense, vigilant demeanor.
However, at this critical moment, the Blue Dragon suddenly launched an attack. It leaped out of the water towards the herd of cattle. A gigantic column of water rose to the sky, accompanied by an ear-splitting roar, shaking the entire forest. This sudden change stunned Luo Chen for a moment, but it also provided him with better cover.
Taking advantage of the moment when the Junior Martial Uncle was distracted by the Blue Dragon’s attack, Luo Chen quickly approached and launched an ambush. The blade in his hand flashed with a cold light, stabbing towards the Junior Martial Uncle’s back with unstoppable speed. However, just as the blade was about to touch its target, the Junior Martial Uncle suddenly sidestepped and rolled, cleverly avoiding the fatal blow.
It turned out that although the Junior Martial Uncle had most of his attention focused on the Blue Dragon and the Soul Beast Divine Stone, he was still an experienced Martial Artist, maintaining high vigilance against surrounding dangers. Luo Chen’s ambush, though unexpected, was still detected and evaded in time.
Even after the ambush failed, Luo Chen did not give up. He quickly adjusted his stance, ready to launch a second attack. Meanwhile, the Junior Martial Uncle stood up unyieldingly, posing a battle stance against Luo Chen. Their imminent battle was about to unfold, while in the distance, the Blue Dragon continued its fierce assault on the herd as if cheering for this human confrontation.
This sudden battle turned the once quiet forest into a bustling place, with various sounds intertwining to form a magnificent symphony. And among this symphony, the contest between Luo Chen and the Junior Martial Uncle was undoubtedly one of the most thrilling movements.
Action speaks louder than words, Luo Chen knew this truth well. The opportunity before him was once in a lifetime, and he had to seize it. The Junior Martial Uncle was searching for the Soul Beast Divine Stone; once he found enough, he would leave this place. If Luo Chen wanted to encounter such an opportunity again, it might be an endless wait. Thus, Luo Chen resolved to act now.
He surveyed the surroundings, carefully observing the terrain. Around the pond on the gravel ground were various remnants of Soul Beasts, most of which had decayed, making it extremely difficult to hide a person among them. But Luo Chen also noticed that the Junior Martial Uncle’s current position was lower, with limited vision. If he could find a blind spot in his line of sight, he might be able to approach quietly.
