Chapter 205
"I didn’t expect the mayor to be a survivor of the Battle of the Dawn . "
The teacher speaking was Tao Yiwei, a good friend of Wang Shouchuan .
He was the teacher with the best performance in the entire Central Pine City . Not only was he cool-headed during combat, but he also led the students to achieve remarkable battle results . The continuous string of battles wore down his educated appearance, however, making the current Old Tao a different man altogether . Even his good friend, Wang Shouchuan, could not recognize him at first sight .
Similarly, if Tao Yiwei saw Wang Shouchuan, he wouldn’t be able to recognize the latter at first glance either .
This blood catastrophe was like a large smelting furnace, and all those thrown in came out a different person .
In the past, Tao Yiwei did not treat Wang Zhen with respect, but this time around, a tinge of respect could be sensed in his tone towards the mayor .
As the two flew with all their might, they exchanged some words .
"Yes . " The dean sighed with sorrow . He used to think of Wang Zhen as an ordinary veteran retired from the front lines . Never did he expect him to have such an illustrious background .
He suddenly recalled that when he asked Wang Zhen about his leg injury, all he’d been told was that it happened ten years ago .
Ten years ago, there was nothing more sensational than the Battle of the Dawn .
Ten years ago, Ye Baiyi led 42 elite members and 80 reinforcement troops from the Icy Flames Division against the boundless flood of dire beasts and held onto the Flaming Canyon for fifteen days .
The battle began and ended at dawn, and thus it was given the name Battle of the Dawn .
By the end, there were only six survivors .
Corpses were splayed about the Flaming Canyon, and the rivers flowed with blood . From that battle onwards, the canyon reeked of blood and remained barren forever .
Ye Baiyi gained prestige from that battle and led a meteoric rise to the top of his profession . He eventually displaced the disfavored Le Buyu as the division leader of the Icy Flames Division at the age of twenty-two . Everyone went on to call him Icy Flames Ye .
He was written into the annals of history as the youngest leader of the Thirteen Divisions .
The Battle of the Dawn was one of the most famous battles of the past twenty years . And in the past fifty, its devastating nature remained unmatched .
The Avalon of Five Elements had long achieved a dominant position over the Wilderness . Hence, for the past few hundred years, territorial expansion had been their main priority . This is what made the Battle of the Dawn so memorable—there had been zero indication of the dire beasts’ invasion, which threw them into a precarious situation .
Upon hearing that Wang Zhen was one of the survivors of the Battle of the Dawn, their astonishment was unimaginable . It was no wonder Wang Zhen never disclosed his division .
"I didn’t expect it, I really didn’t expect it . " Tao Yiwei shook his head in disbelief . "The hero of the Battle of the Dawn actually came to our Central Pine City . It seems our city is a blessed place . "
"It’s a good thing for us . " The dean used to think that Wang Zhen was leading poorly, but now that he knew his background, he immediately felt that the situation was far graver than he originally thought .
Tao Yiwei replied, "He has a lot of confidence in the A-1 unit . "
He thought about Old Wang’s disciple, Ai Hui . He was the only student of Central Pine City whom he was familiar with . He then recalled Wang Shouchuan’s blueprint and felt only the greatest admiration for his old friend . Both master and student were extremely formidable .
"It’s not that I don’t have enough confidence in them," the dean explained, remembering his previous objections . "But in the end, they’re still kids . Who can be responsible for them if they are to meet with any mishaps?"
"Maybe he thinks the A-1 unit can produce an Icy Flames Ye . " Tao Yiwei chuckled .
"How can there be such a good thing?" The dean laughed along .
If one made a joke, the listener would treat it as a joke as well .
Which division leader of the Thirteen Divisions wasn’t an extraordinary individual? It was inaccurate to say that they were the thirteen most powerful individuals in the Avalon of Five Elements, but surely it wasn’t wrong to say that they were some of the most powerful elementalists in the Avalon of Five Elements .
For every one that became a leader of a division, everyone in the world would address them by their surname, followed by "division leader" out of respect .
The division leader was not only the leader of a division that held power over life-and-death—they were also the spiritual emblem for that division . To become a division leader, they were required to have top-tier capabilities, and another was to have charisma . A subordinate would only be willing to follow and pour in their utmost effort for a good leader . If the leader was widely disapproved of, they would not be able to hold on to that position for long .
By now, everyone’s distrust towards Wang Zhen had disappeared .
With a veteran who had gone through such a devastating experience like the Battle of the Dawn as their commander, they still could not obtain victory, thus proving that the situation was indeed outside of their control .
Suddenly, an energy wave from ahead caught their attention .
"Wood elemental energy… . It’s [Viridescent Flower]!" The dean’s facial expression changed minutely as he blurted out, "Duanmu Huanghun!"
The dean understood Duanmu Huanghun more than anyone else, and as such, he could immediately identify whom the energy wave belonged to . It was Duanmu Huanghun’s genius that had built up the prestige of his Central Pine Academy—he was the number one talent in the school .
Such a formidable display of elemental energy far exceeded Duanmu Huanghun’s base level .
The dean was burning with anxiety .
… . . .
Duanmu Huanghun’s fixed his rigid fingers at the blood worm .
The green flowers that rapidly swirled around Duanmu Huanghun suddenly disappeared . With an ear-piercing sound like that of a shattering vase, numerous green flowers then exploded into green snowflakes that engulfed the blood worm .
A penetrating, haughty gaze overtook Duanmu Huanghun’s eyes . His mouth curled into a cold sneer before he clenched his fists .
Splat!
He spat out a mouthful of bloody mist . Even so, his facial expression did not change . It was as if the blood he expelled was not his own .
The green flowers that exploded disappeared once more . Following which, numerous green flower patterns appeared on the scarlet body of the blood worm . The uneven verdant patterns that spread across the blood worm’s body made it look as though it was made of green porcelain .
In the air, Duanmu Huanghun abruptly straightened his body . He did not bother to wipe the blood stains from his mouth . His tall and upright suspended form displayed an indescribable confidence .
There was an impish smile on his devilishly handsome face, like that of a child who had done a mischievous deed .
