When the black cat man realized that the dog-headed man was participating in the fight for the beast pellet, he might have felt that it was interesting. However, he would quickly forget about that feeling.
Because in the next second, my fist landed on his face.
"Peng!" The black cat man was sent flying by my fist. He flipped a few times in the air before landing on the ground.
This person had some tricks up his sleeves. Although he had been hit by the sudden attack, he had actually absorbed a lot of the force. My fist didn't cause much damage to him.
When he looked at me again, the playful expression on the black cat man's face had completely disappeared. His gaze finally became guarded, and after a few hurried breaths, a longsword slid out of his sleeves.
This time, he didn't wait passively but took the initiative to attack. He aimed his sword at my chest.
At the same time, the aura on his body surged. His cultivation seemed to have reached the Monster General level.
I was stunned. It turned out that the black cat man had been hiding his cultivation. That was interesting.
At that moment, he had already arrived in front of me. I tilted my body slightly and dodged the sword. Then, I flicked my finger on the sword's blade, causing the monster power around me to surge out along the sword's blade. The black cat man was unable to withstand such a close distance. His arm trembled and the long sword fell to the ground from the impact.
Seeing that he had lost his weapon, his expression changed. He quickly twisted his body and retreated.
When he stood a few meters away from me again, the black cat man's face was filled with solemnity. He stared at me and said, "You can't be a dog-headed man!"
I grinned. "Could it be that I'm from the cat race?"
The black cat man didn't say anything but took a deep breath. Then, he roared.
I thought that since he was from the cat race, his roar would be similar to the domestic cats in the human world. However, I didn't expect that his voice wasn't as sweet as a cat's. Instead, it was fierce and rough. There was also a faint dragon aura in his voice. It sounded like a dragon's roar.
I frowned and suddenly recalled that during the entrance exam, I had heard the others say that the black cat man had the bloodline of the dragon race.
At that time, I thought it was just a rumor, but looking at the situation now, it seems that the black cat man is really telling the truth.
I only found out about the existence of dragons in the Monster Domain after arriving at Rock City. When Nam told me about the situation in the Monster Domain, he didn't mention anything about this. It was obvious that the existence of the Dragon Clan was still a secret.
As the totem of the Huaxia Civilization, the Dragon Clan would attract the attention of any Huaxia descendant, and I was no exception.
Apart from that, the Serpent Spirit and the pupil had both disappeared after they fell into the heart of the Demon Realm.
Because the Serpent Spirit possesses the bloodline of the Dragon Clan, I once wondered if their disappearance was related to the Dragon Clan.
After all, the Dragon Race valued bloodline the most. The Serpent Spirit possessed the bloodline of the ancient Winged Dragon. If it was discovered by the Dragon Race, it was very likely that it would be captured.
Previously, I didn't have the chance to find out more about the Dragon Clan. Now that the man with the black cat has appeared, it has given me an opportunity.
With that in mind, I seized the opportunity before the black cat man made his move and said, "I can spare your Beast Pill, but I want to know about the Dragon Race."
After the black cat man heard what I said, his face flushed red. He clenched his teeth and said, "You don't know what's good for you. How dare you ask about the Dragon Clan!"
Then, he roared again and his eyes instantly turned crimson red. His originally fair and tender hands turned into dragon claws.
In the next second, he closed in on me and clawed at my chest with his dragon claws.
When I got closer, I could see clearly that there were only three fingers on his dragon claws. Moreover, each finger was extremely short. It was obvious that the Dragon Clan's bloodline was very thin.
Even so, I didn't dare to underestimate him. There was a strange power lingering on his dragon claws. Although the Goblin power that he emitted wasn't as strong as mine, it was faintly suppressing me, causing the circulation of the Goblin power in my body to become extremely sluggish.
Perhaps this was the pressure that the Dragon Clan, as the noblest race in the Monster Domain, exerted on the other bloodlines.
If he were to use that move on anyone else in the academy, even if it was a middle-grade disciple, there wouldn't be many who could escape. However, he met me.
After reaching the Monster General realm, which was also known as Glory of Knowledge, I could already use some spells, such as the Nine Star Heavenly Spirit.
The suppression of a realm's difference in cultivation wasn't enough to counteract the suppression of the Dragon Clan's bloodline. However, with the support of the Nine Star Heavenly Spirit, the suppression of cultivation was increased by a few folds.
I stood still and extended my right hand to break free from the dragon claws. Then, I opened my mouth and grabbed the black cat man's neck.
It was obvious that he didn't think that he would lose before he started fighting. After I grabbed his neck, his gaze became dull and the shock on his face was extremely intense.
Naturally, I didn't care about how he felt. I continued to ask, "Can you tell me now?"
The black cat man came back to his senses. As his neck was grabbed, he swallowed his saliva with much difficulty before replying coldly, "Wishful thinking. Aren't you afraid of the Dragon Clan's revenge?"
I shook my head. "The Dragon Clan's revenge might be terrifying, but I believe that the Dragon Clan won't take revenge for you.
If they valued you, there must be many cultivation techniques in Dragon Territory. Why would you come to Thadd Academy to study? "
My words seemed to have touched his sore spot. The black cat man disregarded his life and struggled madly under my control.
I frowned. Of course, I wouldn't give him a chance. I slapped his chest. As he spat out a mouthful of blood, the black cat man finally stopped struggling.
The black cat man finally came back to his senses. The anger on his face subsided a lot, but he still looked at me stubbornly.
It was obvious that he still didn't want to talk about the Dragon Clan.
In the past, I would have killed him and searched his soul in such a situation. However, I still had to stay in Thadd Academy for a while. Moreover, this black cat man was a Dragon Clan member. If he died here, there would be people who would investigate further.
After thinking about it, I decided to give up on the investigation for now. After all, there was still time. This black cat man wouldn't leave so easily. I would find another chance to investigate later.
When I let go of his neck and turned to leave, the black cat man coughed behind me. "You can't afford to offend the Dragon Clan."
I didn't know if he was threatening me or reminding me.
I shook my head and took the Beast Pill from his body. Then, I turned and quickly left the forest.
In today's battle, I had exposed my true cultivation. However, I wasn't too worried about it.
That black cat man was obviously an arrogant person. He was a loner, so he probably wouldn't tell anyone the truth. After all, losing to a dog-headed man wasn't something to be proud of.
Today, I unexpectedly received news about the Dragon Clan and also successfully obtained the Beast Pill. It could be considered as killing two birds with one stone. Thus, on the way back, I was in a good mood. However, when I neared the campsite, my cheerful mood gradually disappeared and my gaze became solemn.
I couldn't sense Nam and the others' auras near the campsite.
Moreover, I tried to sense the Dao Qi imprint that I left on Nam's body, but I couldn't sense it either.
There were only two situations where the Dao Qi imprint couldn't be sensed. The first was that it had been erased, and the second was that it was too far away.
Being in the Monster Domain, the chances of the Dao Qi imprint being erased weren't high. I could basically confirm that Nam was far away from this place.
I frowned. Normally, this Beast Hunting Field wasn't very big. Even if Nam and I were standing on the opposite side, I shouldn't have been unable to sense the Dao Qi imprint. Could it be that he wasn't in the training field?
There was still some time before the three days of training. The school didn't have any reason to interfere. So where did Nam go?
Very quickly, I had a guess in my heart. After looking around, I quickly ran towards the cliff.
The intermediate disciple that brought us in had told us that the opposite of the cliff was the training area for the intermediate and advanced disciples.
With Nam's cultivation, he definitely wouldn't be able to walk out of the isolation zone set up by the school. The only way to leave this place was through the cliff.
However, this place was high and dangerous. The mountain peaks were far apart and there weren't any cableways or bridges. Nam and the others didn't know how to fly, so how could they pass through?
