Zhou Lin's bloodline surged instantly, facing the might of the Ancestral Dragon with only boundless suppression, showing no sign of weakness.
The Azure Dragon above seemed to sense its master's dominance, its dragon aura even more potent than the Golden Dragon's.
"Roar—"
The Golden Dragon was flying back and forth. Before it could even make a move, it felt the Azure Dragon's claws rushing towards the Golden Dragon's abdomen.
The Golden Dragon instantly fell, but as it descended, it didn't forget to entangle the Azure Dragon.
Boom.
The Golden Dragon landed, its eyes dimming. In its final moments, it cast a glance at Ding Qin.
Then, it vanished.
As the Golden Dragon disappeared, the speed of the Ding Qin sword slowed.
Seizing this opportunity, Zhou Lin's Azure Dragon Sword flashed with cold light. The Azure Dragon on the ground seemed to be injected with adrenaline and charged towards Ding Qin.
"No..."
The phantom of Ding Qin let out a mournful cry as the Azure Dragon attacked.
Its face turned towards Zhou Lin.
Then, the phantom slowly faded away.
After the phantom disappeared, the Azure Dragon returned to the Azure Dragon Sword, as if nothing had happened.
The Ding Qin sword, along with the vanishing phantom, fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
The entire ear chamber fell silent with the drop of the Ding Qin sword.
Elder Tang's gaze remained fixed on the spot where the Golden Dragon had disappeared, lost in thought for a long time.
Just like that...
It was gone?
The Azure Dragon had killed the Golden Dragon just like that?
Elder Tang's mind felt a bit hazy. Was this real?
Was everything they had seen before real?
Were they dreaming?
Professor Lin felt the same as Elder Tang. The situation was rather complicated.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they probably wouldn't have believed it.
He then stiffly shifted his gaze to Zhou Lin, wondering how he could be so powerful.
That Golden Dragon represented the Ancestral Dragon, and it was killed just like that?
The Taoist priest and the historian exchanged glances, neither speaking, but reading shock in each other's eyes.
They knew Zhou Lin was powerful, but they hadn't expected him to be this powerful.
The biologist, the Wolf King, the architecture champion, and the others stopped thinking, simply staring blankly at the scene before them, speechless for a long time.
The gymnastics champion and the Olympic champion, recalling what they had seen earlier, felt this scene was even more exciting than their competitions.
This was simply an existence beyond compare.
The security personnel and the archaeology students, upon witnessing this scene, found their minds had stopped working.
They didn't know how to describe their inner feelings.
Was this a fantasy opening?
In the live stream.
"Holy crap, holy crap! The Azure Dragon won, the big shot defeated the Ancestral Dragon?"
"Damn, what did I just see? The Azure Dragon won? And defeated the Ancestral Dragon? This was the sword of the Ancestral Dragon, meant to stabilize Qin, and it was defeated like this?"
"Oh my god, did I see wrong? Is this something a human can do?"
"The big shot is mighty, awesome! That sword was used beautifully."
"No, how did the big shot do it? Is such skill truly possessed by a novelist?"
...
In the dean's conference room.
The room was instantly silent, all eyes fixed on the large screen opposite them.
Their eyeballs were about to pop out.
Was this the Zhou Lin they knew? With such skills, such abilities...
Could he be a novelist?
What kind of novelist could be both scholarly and martial?
Even if they were, no one could have taken down the Ancestral Dragon.
"Dean, I think the possibility of you taking Zhou Lin as an external member is slim. It would be an injustice to him in this situation."
Professor Wen, who had previously opposed Zhou Lin joining their ranks, now felt that being an external member was already demeaning him.
The dean also deeply realized this problem.
The shock had not yet subsided, and he glanced at Professor Wen opposite him.
"Then what is your suggestion?"
The dean turned to Professor Wen.
"Of course, as a guest scholar. Our academy has such positions, and they shouldn't only be for accommodating shareholders."
Professor Hu, a straightforward professor, spoke his mind.
Although his words were a bit harsh, they made sense.
The position of guest scholar was always reserved for investing shareholders, and never had a truly capable person appeared before. Now that one had, they couldn't let him go.
"Then it's decided. When they come out, I will clarify with Elder Tang."
After careful consideration, the dean decided to make this arrangement.
The other experts and professors had no objections.
Outside the academy.
The internet in Great Xia was even more bustling.
Xiao Ming Says: Shocking!! A Great Xia novelist actually dueled with the Ancestral Dragon's sword and emerged victorious, truly unexpected!!
Hu Hu Sheng Wei App: The novelist successfully killed the soul of the Ding Qin sword, and the Azure Dragon emerged victorious...
Han Dou Video: A duel between the Azure Dragon and the Golden Dragon, the Azure Dragon wins. What is the novelist's true identity??
Bai Ke Bai Jia: Twin Dragon duel, the Azure Dragon wins. The Ding Qin sword actually lost to the Azure Dragon... Truly astonishing.
Below the video were scenes of the duel between Zhou Lin and the sword soul.
Netizens, upon seeing this, commented incessantly.
"Damn, awesome! Is this a novelist, or is it interior decoration and movie special effects? My mind is still filled with dragon roars."
"Who isn't? Me too. It's truly shocking. I found it more entertaining than any sci-fi blockbuster, especially when those two dragons were dueling."
"No, no, such an awesome scene shouldn't be seen only by me. I want all my fans to see it too."
"Exactly, I want my students to see it too. This is what a truly capable person looks like..."
Countries watching this live broadcast.
They were all terrified to see the Golden Dragon vanish like that, killed by Zhou Lin.
Eagle Country:
"When I saw Zhou Lin before, I thought he was very powerful, but I didn't expect him to be this powerful."
"Do you have anyone as powerful as this in our Eagle Country?"
"First, you need to consider if your country has creatures like dragons?"
"Haha, that's right. Perhaps only Great Xia has them."
Cherry Blossom Country:
"Wow, truly amazing. We also have such things in Cherry Blossom Country, but they have never appeared."
"That's right, we also have such things in Cherry Blossom Country, but we don't like to show them off. After all, we know to be low-key."
"Exactly, exactly. Our Cherry Blossom Country's history is not something you people can understand."
Great Cold Kingdom:
"Thousands of years ago, a Golden Dragon also appeared in our Great Cold Kingdom."
