Chapter 140 – The Thief Crying Stop Thief! (2/2)
Yang Xiaohu gently tapped the top of the desk, waited until everyone became silent before he said with an imposing expression on his face: “Therefore, I want to tell you the second secret of the dragon race——high-ranking dragons can transform.”
“Change into human form?”
“That's correct.” Yang Xiaohu nodded as he answered: “In the book [the evolutionary history of the dragon] it stated that high-ranking dragons can transform into human form. That's why I said they surpa.s.s humans. They are not a beastly race; they are better than humans. If you want to give them an exact categorisation —-I think they are divine beings. Or, rather, half-divine beings.”
“Divine beings?” Everyone looked alarmed.
“Are they not? Besides immortals, who can be as powerful as dragons? Besides immortals, who could go up to the heavens, resist water, produce dragon breath—-The power and abilities they possess are only abilities that divine beings could possess. Immortals can destroy cities with one slash of their sword; high-ranking dragons can do the same. Immortals can freely roam around the Starry Sky, high-ranking dragons can too. Immortals are the same age as the universe, high-ranking dragons are too—–if they are not divine beings, then what are they? ”
“Teacher Yang, do you mean—-we are fighting against immortals?” Tie Muxin asked with a shocked look on his face.
Teacher Yang said that dragons are so strong, then what should us dragon slayer students do?
“Teacher Yang is exaggerating, right?” Chu Xun said, a mocking smile curling the corner of his lips, as though nothing was pleasing to his eyes —-no, as though everyone was a dung beetle to him. “If it's as teacher Yang had said, then that means the dragon slayer heroes back then killed divine beings? Dragons are divine being, then what are the people who killed the divine beings?”
“Exactly. I also think that Teacher Yang may have greatly exaggerated the abilities of dragons.” Li Muyang added with a serious look on his face. He had to step up and chime in at this moment. “This time, I'm going have to agree with Chu Xun cla.s.smate. I personally think that dragons are strong, but that's only because of their great size and their blessed abilities—-what soar to the sky, what dive down to the sea, what dragon's breath, it's all because their const.i.tution is too amazing.”
“Dragons are an inferior race, they are the same as the lions and tigers that Teacher Yang has mentioned; they're of equal existence. Just that they are a little stronger than lions and tigers. A more powerful lion and a fiercer tiger, are they still not just a lion or tiger? ”
“We've all heard the story of [Wu Song beating a tiger], we also have heard the story of [The Lion King Simba] and [Mr Dongguo and a wolf]—-Of course, the stories are not telling us how strong these beasts are but rather how vicious and cunning they are. We often hear about the stories of the heroes slaying dragons—-but we have never heard stories of people killing immortals.”
“Dragon can be ma.s.sacred, this has been doc.u.mented in [The Dragon Chronicles]. Even the river Nujiang behind the school was dyed red by dragon's blood, this proves that dragons have weaknesses and can be killed——-A race like that, how could it possibly be superior to the human race? How could they be omnipotent divine beings?”
“I firmly believe that with Teacher Yang's guidance and teaching, and as long as we are diligent, hardworking and learn the sacred skills of dragon slaying, we can sever a dragon's head and use their blood to colour Nujiang——”
As he said these words, Li Muyang felt a throbbing pain in his chest.
“Good.” Everyone began to applaud one after the other.
“Muyang cla.s.smate is right——-”
“What Muayang said touched my heart.”
“How could we boost other people's morale while undermining our own power and prestige?”

Lu Qiji's icy gaze swept across Li Muyang's face as she coldly said: “The thief shouting 'catch the thief'.”
