Galaxy Domination Guide-Chapter 502 - 490 Growing Confidence

After the Rapids Dragon retreated, the streets of Mount Ranji City were filled with pedestrians once more.

"Was the dragon repelled by our Lord?"

"Phew, of course, our Lord is a wise and valiant dragon slayer, that little dragon was no match for our Lord at all."

People on the streets were abuzz with discussion. If there had been any distrust towards Bai Zhongqi before, the cloud of gloom that had hung over their heads was now completely dispelled by today's events.

The arrival of the Era of the Dragon had left everyone in terror. The former Lord, Shao Xiong, had attempted to sacrifice seventy percent of the population within his territory, which had left those doomed to die feeling utterly despondent. Although Bai Zhongqi's rise to power as the "dragon-slaying" Lord saved many from being sacrificed, there was still much doubt as to whether this dragon-slaying Lord could truly protect them.

But today's battle, with the violent and savage Evil Dragon rushing into Mount Ranji like lightning, aiming to attack the territory, was repelled by the Lord's powerful firepower, which forced it to retreat in helplessness. At last, Bai Zhongqi personally took action and drove the Evil Dragon back.

This had given everyone hope—albeit a very small ray of it—but at least there was a possibility that they could survive this Era of the Dragon.

"If the Lord had been Mister Bai when this Evil Dragon came before, maybe our third child would not have had to die," an old man sighed on the street.

The last time the Rapids Dragon Yi Angde came to Mount Ranji, not only did it decree the tributes, but it also casually snatched a few live humans to devour. The residents of the territory were helpless, forced to simply watch the Evil Dragon do as it pleased, while the Lord dared not intervene, thankful only that the Evil Dragon had spared him, no matter how many civilians it devoured.

Yi Angde would casually snatch a few people to fill its belly in every territory. Dragons were not picky regarding reproduction and feeding; they basically took whatever they could catch.

Zang Murenqing hurried back from the barracks to the castle and saw the jubilant expressions on the faces of the people in the street, his heart also brimming with excitement he could hardly contain.

Ze Pei also expressed his happiness, saying, "Teacher has truly won the hearts of the people in the territory this time."

Gang Naj, who had always greatly admired Bai Zhongqi, said, "Teacher has also built houses for everyone. Now everyone has electric lights, gas stoves, and running water at night. This kind of life is even better than that of the nobility. There's no Lord more kind and wise than Teacher in this world."

Xu Erli did not speak, but the smile on her face could not be hidden.

When the common people in the street saw the four students of the Lord, they also started to congratulate them, and Zang Murenqing and the others all shared in the pride, their faces beaming.

"Teacher is right, although we humans may be weak as individuals, we know how to cooperate and love. We are also clever enough to create powerful weapons to protect ourselves. The weapons Teacher used to intercept that Evil Dragon were anti-aircraft guns and surface-to-air missiles. If we work hard to learn, we will surely understand how to make such weapons too. When everyone can use such weapons to protect themselves, these Evil Dragons will be no match for us!" Zang Murenqing clenched his fist, his eyes filled with a fiery passion.

Ze Pei also deeply agreed, sighing, "I only regret that we lack talent and have not worked hard enough to quickly learn Teacher's skills, or else during this Era of the Dragon, we could be of much more use."

At that time, a trusted aide rode his warhorse, galloping in from outside the city; upon seeing the Lord's four students, he dismounted, paid his respects, and reported, "Generals, I come from outside the city. Three young men with peculiar attire have arrived, claiming to be disciples of dragon slayers. They saw the Lord's Dragon Slaying Order calling for worthy individuals from across the lands and have come to join our cause."

Zang Murenqing exclaimed with surprise and delight, "Is it true? That's wonderful, the teacher's method has worked! Quickly invite them over; I will personally take them to meet our teacher."

At that moment, Ze Pei interjected, "We can't be careless; the origins of these three are unknown, and we've just been attacked by a dragon. Now suddenly these dragon slayers appear at our doorstep—it all seems rather odd."

Zang Murenqing nodded, "I understand. Everyone, stay alert. If they make any suspicious moves, we'll let them see that we, as the teacher's students, are also not lacking in ability."

It wasn't long before Zang Murenqing and the others met the three Shi Nazhen brothers. The Shi Nazhen trio were clearly still not over the scene they witnessed at Mount Ranji, where they fended off the Evil Dragon, and along the way, they kept praising how well-defended Mount Ranji was and how imposing Lord Bai Zhongqi appeared.

As they passed through the streets, they marveled that Mount Ranji was the cleanest and most luxurious territory they had ever seen.

Upon entering the castle and seeing its complete facilities and exquisite decorations, the trio, although apprentices of dragon slayers, were astounded as they had never seen such grandeur before.

Gang Naj, wanting to show off, said, "This castle was built by our teacher in just two days. Before, this was just an ordinary stone castle, but with a wave of his hand, the teacher transformed it into what you see today. I am afraid that even the wealthiest Lords on the continent could not have a castle one-tenth as luxurious as the Mount Ji City castle."

The Shi Nazhen brothers were greatly shocked upon hearing this.

The naive young man, Uri Tenba, could not believe it and said, "To think that such a majestic building was constructed in just two days! Our master once told us that the artifacts found in ruins could not only slay dragons but also perform feats beyond human capability, beneficial to all. I never imagined such things could truly exist."

Ze Pei shook his head and said, "Our teacher taught us that one cannot claim to truly possess an object if they don't understand the true principles behind it. I also asked the teacher if his powers came from ruins, and he denied it, saying most of his abilities are replicable and based in profound knowledge."

Shi Nazhen nodded, "I see. Master Bai Zhongqi's abilities are indeed rare in this world. In the past, my brothers and I, along with our teacher, had met two dragon slayers. Although they were strong, none could match Master Bai Zhongqi."

Xu Erli, hearing Shi Nazhen speak well of Bai Zhongqi, was also pleased, "Of course, if the teacher weren't confident in truly resolving the crisis of the Era of the Dragon, why else would he issue the Dragon Slaying Order to recruit talents from across the world?"

The lean youth, Bie Su Gai, shook his head, "I don't consider the Dragon Slaying Order to be such a wise move; at the very least, it has attracted the Rapids Dragon, and the dragons will not rest easy."

Gang Naj glared at Bie Su Gai, "What are you saying, boy?"

Zang Murenqing stepped in front of Gang Naj and asked Bie Su Gai, "Do you know the breed of the dragon that arrived earlier?"

Bie Su Gai replied with a hint of pride, "Of course, our master recorded nearly a hundred types of dragons, being the foremost among dragon slayers; naturally, we brothers are very familiar with dragon breeds."
