Zhang Xing had been pondering about how to raise Dragon Fifth's level for the past few days. Previously, he had eaten some poisonous bugs in the ruins of the Poison Hall, but their grades were too low, so they weren't of much use.
According to Elder Tu Te of the Poison Hall, there was a vast poison island in the Blue Sea. It was shrouded in poisonous gas all year round, and a large number of poisonous creatures lived on the island. Furthermore, their grades weren't low.
Poison Masters hunted the poisonous creatures on the periphery and collected the poisonous herbs that could be used.
As for the inside, it was said that some level 3 Poison Masters had entered the island, but none of them came out. Those Poison Masters were all high-level Emperors, and since they couldn't come out, no one else dared to enter.
As time passed, the poison island was demonized. There were all kinds of rumors, and the most ferocious rumor was that there was a level 7 Poison Demon on the island. Its body was dozens of meters long, and its waist was several zhang thick.
It was said that a level 5 Poison Scorpion of a level 3 Poison Master was swallowed by a Poison Demon in a single gulp...
Regardless of whether it was true or not, Zhang Xing decided to make a trip there. A level 7 Poison Demon wasn't that scary. If it really existed, then it would be a good food for Dragon Fifth to level up.
The next morning, just as he was about to leave, the new butler came to report that the Dean of the Holy Roland Academy of Magic and Force was here.
Calculating the time, he should be here tomorrow. He was really fast, a day in advance.
He probably didn't have much rest during the journey.
Walking to the entrance, Zhang Xuan personally welcomed him. This was his teacher, so he couldn't neglect him. He also instructed the butler and some related people to report the arrival of Dean Jegg and the other guild leaders.
Looking at the travel-worn Dean Jegg, the two beautiful teachers beside him, and his two classmates, Zhang Xing smiled knowingly.
"Student Zhang Xing greets the Dean and the two teachers!"
"How can this be? You are a high-ranking official, so you mustn't be so courteous in the future. Otherwise, the nobles of the alliance will laugh at you."
Jegg smiled. What he said wasn't wrong at all. The imperial system had a strict social hierarchy. With Zhang Xing's current status, Jegg and the others had to greet him respectfully.
"Their heads are on their bodies. I can't control how they laugh, but they can't control what I do. I owe the Dean and the two teachers a debt of gratitude, so I have to greet them as students for the rest of my life."
Zhang Xing's words instantly moved all of them. No matter what position he held, he never changed his mind, and it was truly commendable!
"Saiya, Keldo, welcome to the team!"
Zhang Xing smiled and nodded.
Saiya was a little shy, and her face instantly turned red.
Keldo took two steps forward and was about to give him a bear hug. At the same time, he shouted excitedly, "Zhang Xing, I'm so excited. Please accept my blessings!"
"Get lost!
I'm not interested in hugging you! "
Zhang Xing feinted a kick, scaring Keldo into jumping three feet high.
Amidst the laughter, he invited everyone to the reception room.
"Zhang Xing, from what you're wearing, are you going out?"
After taking a seat, Headmaster Jager asked in confusion.
"I thought you guys would only arrive tomorrow, so I wanted to go to the Poison Island in the Blue Sea to take a look."
Zhang Xing gestured for them to taste the exquisite pastries, knowing that they must not have eaten breakfast yet.
"Poison island?
That place is a place of great danger for the people of the Five Kingdoms. Why are you going there? "
Jag frowned.
"I'm going to collect some poisonous herbs. Does the headmaster know that place?"
Zhang Xing did not tell them the truth. He could not tell anyone about anything related to dragons.
This was especially true for the people around him who were on good terms with him. The more they knew, the more dangerous it would be for them.
"How could I not know? It's really a strange place. The island is filled with poison, but the surrounding seawater is not."
"According to the records in the academy, it was a dragon's nest a thousand years ago. Later, it got tired of the disturbance from humans and moved away."
"Later, it was taken over by the giant sea beast, the Thousand Poison Crimson Blood Jiao. Haha, this is all a legend. There's no proof, so it can't be taken seriously."
What Jager knew was similar to what Tut had said. It was all unofficial history.
