The shape of the "Dragonbone Evil Moon"
broadsword was exactly like Dragonbone Evil Moon. The blade's shape, length, and size were exactly the same. When Long Chen saw the Dragonbone Evil Moon, his heart ached.
The Dragonbone Evil Moon was his strongest weapon on the Tianwu Continent and his closest companion, but in the end, it was destroyed in the final world-destroying battle.
Now, seeing the Dragonbone Evil Moon again, Long Chen felt both deeply sad and a trace of relief, as if he was seeing the rebellious Dragonbone Evil Moon once more.
The Dragon Bone Evil Moon was arrogant and fierce, like the teeth of a bloodthirsty ancient beast, radiating endless darkness that sent chills down one's spine. Although Guo Ran merely imitated its appearance, it still sent chills down one's spine.
Black blade and black armor, endless black mist swirling around. At this moment, Guo Ran carried a strange aura, like an armored warrior emerging from hell, standing on the arena like a messenger of death, looking down upon all beings.
People stared at Guo Ran in disbelief, even Xie Qianqian, Tu Hu, and the others looked incredulous. It was the first time they had seen Guo Ran in this state.
"Where did you get the Demon Dragon Black Crystal?" Wang Zixu shouted sternly.
Demon Dragon Black Crystals are too rare; even the Demon Dragon Black Crystals stored by the Tianlong Divine Armor Academy might not be enough to forge a complete battle armor.
Usually, the divine material refined from the Demon Dragon Black Crystal is attached to the sharp edges of top-tier divine weapons, such as blade tips for assault, giving the divine weapon terrifying armor-piercing ability.
Guo Ran's full armor combined with his long blade consumed countless Demon Dragon Black Crystals, so when Guo Ran's outfit was revealed before everyone, everyone was stunned. Wang Zixu's voice was filled with jealousy.
"Where did I get the Demon Dragon Black Crystal? Isn't this all thanks to you? Back in the Crescent Bay Beast Trial, you chased me all the way while I escaped into the desperate Demon Dragon Lair where I barely escaped.
There, I was chased by countless demon dragons, panicked, and rushed beneath their lairs.
Then I saw the vein of the Dragon Black Crystal. I spent a whole month digging before I finally cleared it completely.
Heh, when I escaped from the Dragon Cave and returned to the academy, didn't you remember the expression on your face?
You couldn't kill me, but I turned misfortune into blessing. I secretly refined the Demon Dragon Black Crystal bit by bit and secretly forged this Demon Dragon Battle Armor.
When I forged the armor, I swore that one day I would wear it, the Dragonbone Evil Moon made from Demon Dragon Black Crystal, and cut off your head, because only then could I express my gratitude to you. Guo Ran said through gritted teeth.
People were shaken to their core. Back when Guo Ran went hunting at Crescent Bay, he disappeared for over a month. People thought something had happened to him, but in the end, he returned alive. People still remember that when he returned, he was covered in blood, half his body gone—a tragic end.
After Guo Ran returned, he didn't mention a word about how he disappeared. People were very puzzled about what had happened during that time.
Now that Guo Ran mentions this matter, people suddenly realize that during the hunt, Wang Zixu actually wanted to kill Guo Ran. Guo Ran, with no other choice, escaped into the Demon Dragon Cave, where he narrowly escaped death, but misfortune turned into a blessing and he obtained the Demon Dragon Black Crystal.
At this point, people finally understood why Guo Ran had said before that this battle would decide both victory and death. It turned out there was a little-known grudge between the two.
"Bastard! The Demon Dragon Black Crystal has always been known by the academy as a precious divine material. Any disciple discovering it must be reported to the council. Guo Ran, you are hiding divine materials and violating academy rules. You deserve death." The council elder from the Wang family roared.
The Demon Dragon Black Crystal is an exceptionally precious divine material that can be forged into top-grade domain artifacts. If any disciple obtains or discovers it, it should be reported to the academy's upper management; private individuals are not allowed to claim it for themselves.
The academy will also consider granting disciples certain rewards, because the Demon Dragon Black Crystal is a high-grade divine material. If it falls into disciples' hands, it is a waste of valuable resources. From refining to forging divine weapons, any step goes wrong and the divine material is wasted.
Therefore, most disciples who obtain Dragon Black Crystals are of little use and choose to hand them over to the academy to obtain what they need.
Normally, people have very few chances to obtain Dragon Black Crystals. Encountering a fist-sized piece is already enough to make them overjoyed, while the essence refined from a fist-sized Black Crystal is only the size of an embroidery needle.
But Guo Ran was able to forge complete weapons and armor from the Demon Dragon Black Crystal, and people couldn't imagine how much Demon Dragon Black Crystal he had originally acquired.
"Nonsense! The ones who deserve death are you old bastards. From old to young, you've been in cahoots, like snakes and rats, always thinking about how to kill me. The treasure I barely got with death—why should I give it to you?
To be honest with you, I have absolutely no feelings for the Tianlong Divine Armor Academy. I even once thought that when I fully master the divine armor, I would wipe out the entire academy. Guo
Ran roared to the sky, his long-suppressed anger erupting like lava.
"You... You ungrateful thing, I knew it. Those who are not of my kind must have different hearts. The lowly embryos who ascend to the lower realm are all rebellious people. The Wang family elder was so angry he was trembling.
"Xue Yifan, look, is this the acting director you chose? Did you hear that? He wanted to destroy the entire Tianlong Divine Armor Academy. "
Xue Yifan, are you old or blind to choose him as acting director? If you don't give everyone an explanation today, how can you still have the face to be president?"
The other council elders roared as well. Previously, Xue Yifan wanted to settle scores with them, but now they had seized an opportunity to directly target him.
Facing the council elders' accusations, Xue Yifan didn't even glance at them. Faced with countless doubtful eyes, he showed no intention of defending himself. For a moment, everyone was stunned. What on earth was going on? Does the dean really want to destroy the Tianlong Divine Armor Academy? Is that possible?
"Hahaha, did you see that? Even now, you still hold prejudices against me, the ascender from the lower realm.
You bunch of idiots who act all high and mighty, thinking you're right, their minds full of arrogance and prejudice, controlling the council. With you parasites around, what hope does Tianlong Divine Armor Academy have?
If the director hadn't done me a favor, what would the life or death of you idiots have to do with me? Why should the boss and I risk everything for you?
But since the eldest agreed to the director's request, I, Guo Ran, took on this task, so I have to carry it out.
However, I, Guo Ran, am no saint, nor do I understand the idea of repaying evil with kindness. Our Dragonblood Legion's principle is to pay blood for blood, and tooth for tooth. Today, I will settle this here—the Dragonblood Battle manifests! As
Guo Ran spoke, his voice turned cold. With his roar, his Demon Dragon Battle Armor roared loudly, countless scales lit up, and a resonant dragon roar echoed through heaven and earth.
"Rumble... The
arena beneath Guo Ran's feet collapsed, the void exploded, and amid the dragon's roar, Guo Ran charged at Wang Zixu like a black demon god. With a single slash, the black blade shadow pierced through the barrier, piercing it through.
"What?"
Even late-stage Realm King experts stared in terror at the scene before them, all stunned. Long Chen's pupils contracted slightly, a look of disbelief appearing in his eyes:
"What is this... The First Technique of Heaven-Opening Ceremony? "
