Chapter 143 – Common Person Becomes King! (1/2)

Chapter 143: Common person becomes king!

When someone asks a question, the brain's first reaction is to think. This is the body's natural response.

If an answer could not be reached after a long deliberation, the mouth would naturally say 'I don't know'.

At the same time that Li Muyang heard Yang Xiaohu's question, his brain began to ponder.

Even he himself didn't know that in the depths of his memory was a sound very similar to this. And, adding to this, he felt that this tone of voice was extremely simple to p.r.o.nounce: joy.

This sound represented a dragon's joy.

As he pondered, he blurted the answer out loud.

“Joy?” This was his guess.

Even though he was not sure whether this answer was correct himself.

“Joy.” This was him being sure.

Even when he answered aloud, he was still not entirely certain the word came from his own mouth.

However, he spoke out subconsciously.

And as it happened, teacher Yang heard it clearly.

A student who just arrived at Starry Sky, how could he has an understanding of an obscure and difficult to learn language that he was never taught before?

Li Muyang really wanted to slap his own face; you could do anything but why must you expose yourself like this? Why must you look for trouble?

“No, I heard you. You said joy—–” Yang Xiaohu walked to the front of Li Muyang in big strides, looking full of excitement as he said: “Li Muyang, you understand the language of dragons?”

“I don't understand.” Li Muyang said, shaking his head in quick succession. “I really didn't say anything.”

“Didn't say anything?” Yang Xiaohu's gaze s.h.i.+fted over to the other students, asking: “did you hear it?”

“I heard brother Muyang said 'joy'.” Tie Muxin is a simple and honest good student. What he heard, he'd truthfully report it to the teacher.

“I also heard it.” Lin Canghai said with a smile. He threw a sideways glance at Li Muyang, saying: “Brother Muyang is so secretive, he never told us that he understands Dragon speech?”

“Exactly. I heard it as well.” Qiandu said, smiling as she looked over at Li Muyang. “Muyang cla.s.smate, is that not something to be proud of? Why hide the truth?”

Lu Qiji, with a sarcastic and mocking smile on her face, said aloud: “Some things can't be hidden. A fox will eventually reveal its tail.”

Listening to Qiandu and the others, Li Muyang felt the urge to not be friends with them anymore.

We're cla.s.smates, why torment each other so cruelly!

Is it the time to be in the limelight?

I am a dragon!

I'm a d.a.m.n dragon!

Now that you know I understood dragon speech, next time you will suspect that I'm a dragon——Then when the moment comes, all of you would want to kill me, will I be able to live then?

Li Muyang looked at Yang Xiaohu seriously, saying: “Teacher Yang, you really heard me say 'joy'?”

“Yes.” Yang Xiaohu nodded firmly. “Other people said 'I don't know', you were the only one who said 'joy'. So I heard it very clearly.”

Li Muyang blinked his big innocent eyes, asking aloud: “did I answer right?”

“The answer is correct.” Yang Xiaohu said cheerfully. “The sound I made just now, was indeed the sound that dragons make to express joy——-”

Li Muyang excitedly jumped to his feet and tightly squeezed Yang Xiaohu's arm, exclaiming: “Teacher Yang, according to what you said, that means I can already understand dragon language? I learnt the language of dragons without any teaching? Why am I so amazing? Do you think——I might be a genius? Am I a peerless genius left behind in the world?”

Yang Xiaohu tried to calm Li Muyang down. “Student Li Muyang, calm down——- calm down a little. You did answer a question right but the language of dragons is difficult to understand, obscure and complex. On average, without devoting at least ten years of study one would not completely understand it——There are no limits to what there is still to learn, it's a long road, you have much more to learn. Remember to not be arrogant and complacent, that will ruin your prospects.”

“Could it be that Teacher Yang don't think I'm a genius?”

“You're not a genius——well I can't say you're not. In the subject 'dragon language', your performance is very good. As long as you work hard, then perhaps later you would become an expert in this field. At least have a better understanding than the other students. However, you've only answered one question right, your road has just begun. Therefore, continue to put in effort and develop your strengths——–”

Li Muyang looked visibly disappointed, his voice sounding deeply disheartened, saying: “I thought I can communicate directly with dragons, I thought I can understand their entire language. Teacher Yang, why don't you test me again, make a dragon's noise for me to listen again——–”

Yang Xiaohu pondered for a brief moment, before he pinched his mouth again, making an even more bizarre tone.

Li Muyang looked blank watching Yang Xiaohu. “Teacher Yang, this is dragon speech?”

“Of course it's dragon language.” Yang Xiaohu said pleasingly. “You only got it right by chance just now or maybe I misheard you——but it doesn't matter. I'll teach you everything I know without reservation. As long as you're willing to learn.”

Li Muyang bowed deeply to Yang Xiaohu, saying. “Thank you teacher Yang.”

Yang Xiaohu pressed his hands firmly down on the table and said: “Sit down please. We will continue our lesson.”
