Cultivation Simulator: Shocking the Academy-Chapter 458 - 311: Reverse Scale

Luo Chen faced the gaze of the golden dragon without fear, "Killing me serves you no benefit, but I can help you." His voice was firm and powerful, as if each word was filled with determination and conviction.

The golden dragon, upon hearing these words, suddenly let out a terrifying laugh, "Hehe... I actually believe another human..." The laughter echoed through the seawater, carrying with it an indescribable melancholy and sarcasm.

Luo Chen noticed the dragon’s use of the word "another" and couldn’t help but feel curious, "Another?"

The golden dragon toned down its laughter, a trace of sorrow flashing in its eyes, "Long, long ago, there was a fighter who promised to help me find Brother Long, and deceived me into giving him many Divine Stones." At this point, a flash of anger and disappointment flickered in its eyes.

Luo Chen remained silent, understanding the golden dragon’s anger and disappointment. Being deceived and used was an unspeakable pain. He wasn’t sure if he could truly help the dragon, but he was willing to try his best.

The golden dragon seemed to see Luo Chen’s sincerity and determination, taking a deep breath, "Alright, believing once more won’t cost anything. With your cultivation, finding Brother Long is impossible. At most, you can only let him find you." Its words revealed a sense of helplessness and expectation.

Luo Chen was taken aback, "How will he find me?"

The golden dragon slowly extended its massive claw, gently plucking two pieces of Scale Armor from its body, "I give you two pieces of Scale Armor; fashion these into armor to protect your chest and back. Remember, this is a reversed scale, it must protect your chest." Its tone was solemn and serious, as if performing a sacred ritual.

Luo Chen received the two pieces of Scale Armor shining with a mysterious light, filled with gratitude and respect. He knew this was the golden dragon’s trust and expectation of him. He held the two pieces tightly, feeling the immense power and mysterious aura contained within.

"Because this reversed scale is the hardest Scale Armor on me, and it’s a symbol of my identity. If Brother Long sees this armor, he will definitely ask you about it. At that time, just tell him I’m trapped here, and he will come to rescue me." The dragon’s words were filled with expectation and hope. Its gaze fixed on Luo Chen’s eyes, as if trying to see through his soul.

Luo Chen nodded seriously, "I will do my utmost to find him and inform him of your situation." His voice was firm and strong, as if he were taking an oath. He understood the importance of this mission and the heavy responsibility he bore. But he also believed that as long as he tried his best, he would be able to help the dragon find Brother Long and lift its curse. No matter how many difficulties and challenges he encountered along the way, he would forge ahead, never giving up any chance or hope.

"What if he never finds me?" Luo Chen frowned slightly, revealing deep worry. This question had been troubling him, for finding Brother Long was no easy task, let alone the unpredictability of things with the passage of time.

The golden dragon was silent for a moment, seemingly weighing its words, then slowly spoke, with a touch of helplessness and sadness in its voice, "Then... then... he is... dead..." Its words made Luo Chen’s heart sink, understanding the mission’s importance far exceeded his imagination.

Luo Chen took a deep breath, staring into the dragon’s eyes, trying to convey his determination, "Rest assured, even if I cannot reach Brother Long, I will find a way to break your confinement within my lifetime!" His voice was firm and powerful, as if he were making a vow. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

However, the golden dragon let out a bitter laugh and shook its head, "Breaking this confinement...haha... forget it, the strength of you humans is insufficient to challenge this ancient confinement." Its words revealed contempt for humanity, yet also a deep helplessness.

Suddenly, the golden dragon shrank in size and plunged into the deep pool. The water rippled slightly, with only its huge eyes above the surface, like two dazzling jewels embedded in the undulating water. Its gaze was profound and mysterious, leaving people unable to fathom its inner thoughts.

Luo Chen stood by the pool, gazing into those eyes, filled with respect and determination. "I will do my best!" he solemnly declared, as if he were making a promise to the dragon.
