Chapter 201: Dragon Blood Academy's Dragon Blood Gluttonous Feast Ritual

Just as I flew into the high sky, I suddenly felt an unprecedented pressure oppressing my entire body, as if trying to squeeze me down.

No-fly zone?

No, it seems to be something like a height limit.

After I fell uncontrollably to a certain height, that feeling disappeared.

Flying was naturally possible, but I just couldn't fly high.

I don't remember there being a height limit rule in the Central Ancient Battlefield.

After cursing and lowering my altitude to a certain height, I had no choice but to head in the opposite direction of the sandstorm.

Actually, the rules seemed to have mentioned that the Central Ancient Battlefield might produce various anomalies due to the simulated Earth Vein effect.

Could this height limit be one of them?

I also didn't know if this height limit was permanent or temporary.

If I couldn't fly very high, then I wouldn't be able to observe from a high place to determine my position.

Although it wouldn't stop me from finding landmark terrain and features, the difficulty would be greatly increased, and it would also waste the golden development time at the beginning.

However, this height limit was actually not very effective for many contestants.

There were only so many races that could fly, and I wondered if it could trap those guys from the Holy Angel Academy.

But the force of this height limit was still a bit too gentle.

I estimated that one could adjust their posture and land safely before hitting the ground.

But at this moment, I also became worried about my teammates.

Not many of them had a flying license, and some had just learned it at the last minute.

Without much flying skill, wouldn't falling from such a high place mean starting with a serious injury?

I hoped it wouldn't start like this.

After flying in this direction for a while, I saw some recorded terrains, and then confirmed my position on the map.

My current position was a bit remote.

If I were to follow Tan Han's plan to go to the Forged Ancient City Ruins for the tea party, I might be the one arriving from a long distance.

Although such a long distance would be covered quickly at flying speed.

The area of the map seemed to be much larger than I had imagined, but this was relative to not being able to fly.

I waved my hand and opened the display information that everyone had, which recorded the academy rankings and individual rankings in real-time.

Right now, everyone had just arrived, and no one started killing right away.

Everyone's score was zero.

Maybe they just didn't have the chance.

Just as I was thinking about whether to go directly to the Forged Ancient City Ruins or to cause some trouble for others now, a pillar of light shot up from the map and rushed into the sky.

Even though it was very far away, I could see this strange phenomenon.

This was truly a marker that could be seen from all over the map.

Someone was starting to prepare a ritual?

I picked up the map and compared the directions.

This direction didn't seem to be where the witches were holding their Witch Tea Party.

It wasn't even in the direction of any of the three great academies.

Which academy was this?

Were they lucky enough to be able to prepare a ritual right after landing?

Were they really not afraid of being besieged?

I immediately rode my broom and headed in that direction.

Bypassing the sandstorm to get there might really take me a lot of time.

But if someone was thinking that no one would waste this time to harass them right at the beginning, they were wrong.

Other academies might not get involved for various reasons, but the Witch Academy would.

That's right, according to our previous plan, we were going to hold the Witch Tea Party at the ruins, but plans couldn't keep up with changes.

Now someone wanted to get a head start, and the tea party was still a long way off.

I didn't mind going far away first and creating distance.

After all, after the Witch Tea Party was prepared, other witches needed to arrive from a certain distance away.

So, was this really not a deliberate move against our Witch Academy?

"This direction seems to be that active volcano, the Dragon Blood Nest?"

After getting closer, I quickly identified where the place was.

There were two academies in this area, one was the orthodox Dragon Blood Academy, and the other was a Drakonid Blood Affiliated Academy.

From the names, one could tell that the relationship between these two academies might be very close, which reminded me of that Blood Clan.

That little Blood Clan loli could directly order the students of other academies around as if they were her servants.

So could the Dragon Blood Academy be in the same situation?

In that case, some academies were simply more troublesome than cheating.

Those academies and their affiliated academies were practically natural allies.

And the Dragon Blood Academy was still considered okay.

The Beast Academy was the truly terrifying one.

A considerable number of the academies in this exchange competition were of the Beast Academy type.

Although I didn't think they were likely to unite, what if?

That would be ten academies joining forces.

Just as I arrived in the region of this active volcano, a heatwave belonging to the volcano rushed towards me.

The highest peak in the distance was emitting thick black smoke, as if it could erupt at any moment.

Dark red lava flowed out from the cracks, forming a crimson "river," and such lava rivers were everywhere here.

I really wondered if the active volcano here could erupt during the competition.

That scene must be very spectacular, right?

Should I go and give them a hand, go up and hit them with a Fireball?

No, that would still be too dangerous.

A volcanic eruption was not actually very spectacular.

It mainly relied on spewing lava, and the lava would not shoot straight into the sky like a huge pillar of lava as in cartoons.

The lava couldn't even destroy the area of the active volcano, at most it would affect some of the adjacent areas.

The most serious thing would be the volcanic ash produced.

Wait, volcanic ash?

If there was a suitable wind, it could be used, but unfortunately, there were no three great academies in the area around the active volcano.

The surroundings were all small academies, and behind it was directly the sea, which wouldn't affect the sea race at all.

No wonder the Dragon Blood Academy was doing this.

Did they think they had enough time to prepare the ritual and were not afraid of others coming to cause trouble?

And the terrain here did have an advantage.

With so many volcanoes, a huge corpse could be seen from high up.

That should be the fallen ancient dragon in the setting, right?

That huge ancient dragon's skull was facing the largest crater here, and its flesh and blood had long since melted away, leaving only white bones.

Those ribs stretching across the sky were indeed a magnificent sight.

By the way, the Witch Tea Party should be able to be held here too, right?

This was the remains of an ancient dragon.

Just as I was rushing towards the place of the ritual, I finally saw a living person.

Oh no, that shouldn't be considered a person.

It was a student from the Dragon Blood Academy.

At this moment, they had already undergone dragonification.

Their clothes were torn, and dense dragon scales covered their back.

Even their head had transformed into the appearance of a ferocious evil dragon.

They also had a pair of dragon wings on their back that were about two to three meters long when spread out, but this alone shouldn't be enough to support their flight.

And what was even more ridiculous was that this guy was currently facing a mountain pass, where a "pool of gold coins" that had been piled up into a small pond.

Not only gold coins, but also jewels, diamonds, sparkling and dazzling, it was simply overwhelming.

Even when I landed near him at this moment, the other party didn't pay any attention, just experiencing the wonderful feeling of gold coins sliding over his dragon scales.

"I say… do you still know you are participating in an exchange competition?"

I spoke directly, questioning him.

Didn't he know that everyone had a live camera on them right now?

How could he do such an embarrassing thing with such enjoyment?

"Who? What!"

It was obvious that the other party was also startled by me and immediately started rolling in the gold coins.

The sudden shock and the embarrassment of being discovered could not be concealed.

"A witch? You, how did you get here so quickly!"

The other party recognized my appearance and immediately started questioning me.

"Your Dragon Blood Academy has started the Dragon Blood Gluttonous Feast Ritual, am I right? You are still here and not helping?"

"I... I am helping! The feast needs... needs treasure, I am preparing for the ritual!"

"Disgraceful."

I complained a little, then with a wave of the magic wand in my hand, a Water Surge spell pierced through his body at this moment.

His terrifying dragon scales did not cover his entire body, and this attack pierced through his unprotected area.

"Ah... you damn it! Who starts fighting right away! Even though I am the most warlike dragon, I still reasoned with you properly!"

At this moment, the other party was extremely angry.

Although his vital parts were covered by dragon scales and this kind of damage was not fatal, such a severe penetrating injury was still enough to make him lose his sanity from the pain.

But looking at his body, which was still so full of life and energy, I couldn't help but marvel at the strength of his vitality.

Facing this attacking half-dragon, I also seemed to be calm.

Against such a reckless attack, I could cast a Body Strengthening Spell on myself to achieve close-range dodging without injury.

With the footwork of the Magic Wand Combat Technique, I also successfully hit his lower limbs twice with a Fireball.

I had just used Spirit Vision to look at this barbarian.

There seemed to be no particularly important core in his body.

His strength came from the powerful force and physique bestowed upon him by the dragon blood.

There seemed to be a transcendent energy in his body, but this fool didn't know how to use it, or perhaps he didn't have the chance to use it.

Being disabled to this extent by me in one encounter, the other party was also scared.

He remembered what his teacher had told him before he came, to be careful of witches.

Now he finally realized how terrifying this seemingly petite and powerless person in front of him was.

So he immediately chose to beg for mercy.

He didn't want his first life to be gone just like that.

If the other party let him go, he could slowly recover and heal with his dragon blood.

He could even achieve limb regeneration with the help of the ancient dragon's bloodline here.

He, as a drakonid-blooded person, was very clear about this.

"Stop shouting. Are you a participant from the Dragon Blood Academy?"

I interrupted him directly and got straight to the point.

"I am a student from the Drakonid Blood Affiliated Academy, hiss..."

"From an affiliated academy, which means you're not important. Let me ask you again, is that ritual from the Dragon Blood Academy or your academy?"

I continued to ask.

Even though they were the same type of academy, they were essentially different academies, and their rituals were also different.

"I, I am very important! Even though I am from the Drakonid Blood Affiliated Academy, we also have an obligation to help the Dragon Blood Academy hold their ritual. Only after the main campus has completed their ritual are we qualified to perform our ritual..."

"Isn't that just begging on your knees?"

My rhetorical question left him stunned.

Although he really wanted to say that it was indeed the case, dragons themselves were very particular about bloodline suppression.

Some academies were qualified to establish themselves in this main world because they relied on the main campus, which was how affiliated academies came to be.

It could be said that without the main campus, they were essentially not qualified to have a foothold in the main world.

Even though he was a newcomer, he was very clear about this, or rather, after the dragon blood entered his body, everything was out of his control.

"Miss Witch, please, don't kill me. How about we form an alliance! Yes, an alliance. You help us complete the ritual, and we dragon bloods will also help you."

"Join forces? Form an alliance? Good idea, but I might not do as you expect."

I smiled and "accepted" his suggestion, but this smile was full of calculation in the eyes of this drakonid.

And the next moment, he was knocked unconscious by me with one blow.

Silencing and restraining him was a one-stop service.

I didn't want to kill him yet, because killing would trigger a notification, and the ranking would also be displayed.

The most important thing was that I didn't know where this guy would resurrect, and he might mess up my plan.

I did want to form an alliance, but not in the way he imagined.

What I was after was not this one point, but the heads of that group of guys preparing the ritual.

So for now, I'll just wait here.

I'll fill your body with the gold coins here, and after I'm done, I'll come back and finish this guy off.

After dealing with him, I rode my broom and quickly approached the location of the Dragon Blood Gluttonous Feast Ritual.

The ritual there was not yet fully prepared, and even if the preparation was complete, it would take time to complete the ritual, which could also be disrupted.

As long as it wasn't completely finished and scored, everything would be in vain.

After getting closer, I gave up flying and chose to walk.

At this moment, a figure identical to the previous drakonid appeared beside me.

It was an Illusory Clone.

My control over the Illusory Clone had now surpassed the scope of the original spell.

Even the methods of casting the spell were constantly being updated.

I could cast the spell directly upon seeing me, and the success rate was extremely high.

"I'm counting on you. You need to conform to their perception of you."

"Okay, Miss Witch."

At this moment, this Illusory Clone said to me with a fawning smile.

Only then did I set off.

"Stop! You... you're a witch! En..."

"Wait! It's a friendly!"

Just as the drakonid responsible for the surrounding security was about to shout enemy attack, another drakonid suddenly shouted from a place he hadn't noticed.

"You... wait, Dana? What's going on? Why are you standing with her?"

Obviously, this drakonid knew the guy I was disguised as, after all, they were from the same academy.

"This is a student from the Witch Academy. She came from the ancient battlefield and is willing to join forces with us dragon bloods in an alliance!"

"Hello, I am Yang Yuehan from the Witch Academy. As he said, I saw that you were preparing for a ritual. Although you have a geographical advantage, you will inevitably encounter trouble. So I would like to represent the Witch Academy to form an alliance with the Dragon Blood Academy. I will help you hold the Dragon Blood Gluttonous Feast Ritual safely, and you need to provide..."

I gave him an elegant curtsy, which was considered a very high standard of etiquette.

After all, I had to show some "sincerity."

"Wait... I can't decide on this matter either..."

At this moment, this drakonid also showed a troubled expression and quickly interrupted my words.

Looking at the other party's expression, the smile on my face did not disappear.

It seemed there was still room for discussion, otherwise, I would have to resort to the worst-case scenario.

Looking at it this way, my Illusory Clone was quite useful.

It was just that the way the other party looked at me was a bit disgusting.

As expected, was it in the nature of dragons to be lecherous?

"Then please, little brother, take me to see someone from the Dragon Blood Academy who has a say. I think you won't refuse a helping hand from the Witch Academy."

"That's right, the boss will definitely agree. Don't you trust me?"

The clone on the side also added fuel to the fire.

"That's true... Let's go, I'll take you there, but you are not allowed to make any moves halfway!"

"This is your Dragon Blood Academy's territory. If I cause too much of a commotion, I'm not confident I can escape."

I said with a smile, shaking my head and waving my hand.

This guy believed it just like that?

Without a shred of doubt?

Someone comes and says they want to form an alliance, and you just agree?

I thought with the pride of a dragon, they would directly say we don't need it.

In that case, I would have to go through a lot of trouble to force my way in.

Or should I knock him out too and replace him with an Illusory Clone?

That was a last resort.

The more Illusory Clones there were, the greater the chance of being exposed.

It was better not to take this risk.

Let's go and see what kind of character this so-called "boss" of the Dragon Blood Academy was.

I had already experienced the combat power of the drakonids, so what about the guys from the pure-blooded Dragon Blood Academy?

They should be even stronger, right?

I wonder if they can handle a BUG like me?

I was already looking forward to seeing their expressions after I activated the Protection of the Elemental Spirit in front of so many people.

Of course, it would be best to gain their trust first, and then stab them in the back.

Just as I was following him, another pillar of light shot up into the sky in the distance.

This was when another academy had started preparing a ritual.

Looking in this direction, it didn't look like the Witch Academy.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't have been that short of a time.

But this was also good.

It would add some pressure on the Dragon Blood Academy.

Otherwise, if they were too proud to need my help, I would have to go on a rampage.

If worse came to worst, I still had the flying broom to escape.

I wondered if the wings on the backs of the pure-blooded dragon-people were just for decoration.

But even if they weren't for decoration, that kind of flight that relied on aerodynamics definitely couldn't compare to a flying broom.

Don't underestimate the flying speed of the academy's latest model of broom!
