Chapter 1454 - Chapter 1454 446 Chapter Mountain Bandits Ambush_2

Chapter 1454: 446 Chapter Mountain Bandits Ambush_2 Chapter 1454: 446 Chapter Mountain Bandits Ambush_2 With the name coupled with his peerless Martial Arts talent, as long as he did not die young, Leonard Churchill saw the starting point of a future powerhouse’s fate.

The Southern Continent wasn’t entirely populated by Dragon Descendants; a significant portion were pure-blood humans.

After civilization developed over time, social classes naturally distinguished themselves.

Initially, Dragon Descendants were deemed as “mixed blood with Demon Beasts” by humans, a despised and inferior race;

yet, Dragon Descendants were stronger than normal humans and possessed superior Transcendent talents, often gaining the upper hand in conflicts.

However, as time passed, the number of Dragon Descendants grew, especially after the establishment of the Holy Church serving the Dragon God, they gradually took over power.

Later on, Dragon Descendants rarely married humans and became a superior race.

Pure-blood humans, in turn, became the lowest class of society.

David was born a commoner in a human village.

From the snippets he shared, Leonard Churchill inferred his background.

Two years ago, he encountered a war, the village was annihilated by the noble’s legion, and he became an orphan; then he wandered for a long time, until he met Barre Shepherd and learned some basic Martial Arts techniques; later, because of his notable strength, he joined an Adventure Group to make a living… Eventually he encountered war again, his squad was wiped out, but because of his exceptional combat power, he survived. He was sold into slavery by the military officer and spent some time in the Gladiator Arena. Then he was bought by a nobleman, went through several transfers, and was finally purchased by the Landon Family.

As it turned out, the hatred was because of the nobles, but it had nothing to do with the Landon Family.

Thus, David became a slave to Young Master Sack.

While pondering this, the cheers from the boys mounted on the dragon grew louder.

It turned out they had already spotted the magnificent mountain range.

Leonard Churchill also looked up, and was immediately stunned by the sight, “Is this the Titan Mountains…”

It was the tallest mountain range he had ever seen, stretching endlessly.

Moreover, the sight of the snow line and the clouds suggested an endless starry sky above the mountain peaks.

You should know this was the Cavern World, the space here was a bit absurdly large.

“The Caverns of the Southern Continent are clearly different from the East Wilderness…”

Leonard Churchill muttered to himself.

He had looked at the maps before, south of the Titan Mountains lay the endless Magical Beast Forest.

Places like “Ancient Battlefield of the Gods,” “Misty Abyss,” “Hell’s Gate,” “Lost Ancient City of Atrelia”… all these dangerous locations he had heard of were beyond the mountains, deep in the endless forest.

Griffith had once said, she had been gravely injured by mythical relics there, specifically in the southern part of the Forest of Demon Gods.

It was rumored that Emperor Lanlingster also fell in some crevasse there.

This area was filled with mysteries.

It was also a holy land for countless Adventurers.

Ariel Royal Academy was ideally located right up against the Titan Mountains.

It was said that an expedition to the Magical Beast Forest was a compulsory subject for the Academy’s students every year.

Upon seeing the imposing mountain range, the actual distance to the Royal Academy was still very far.

But just as everyone cheered, suddenly, a whooshing sound erupted.

“Whoosh!”

“Whoosh!”

“Whoosh!”

Three Sharp spears instantly pierced the body of the Flying Dragon, with blood spraying before the young ones’ eyes.

The Magic Lamp on the dragon’s back illuminated the frantic faces.

At the same time, everyone felt a strong sensation of weightlessness.

Three Pterosaurs flapped their wings and fell from the sky, the people and goods on their backs scattering as they plummeted.

Meanwhile, the guards from Duke Landon’s House also reacted immediately, shouting, “Enemy attack!”

“Damn, bandits!”

…

Almost simultaneously, the High-Order Card Masters guarding Young Master Sack engaged in combat with the experts suddenly appearing from the forest.

It seemed they had encountered bandits.

However, as Leonard Churchill fell, a thought crossed his mind at the first moment of the attack, “An entrance trial?”

Despite his replicated body only having the perceptive abilities of a card master, his mindset remained as stable as ever.

Not to mention the improbably close distance to the Royal Academy where no smart bandit would linger, nor the mysteriously tailored Dragon-Slaying Crossbow…

Even the “performance trace” of those High-Order Card Masters looked too stiff to his professional eyes.

Your personal guards ran to fight bandits instead of protecting their own master?

And the height of the Flying Dragon was also peculiar, neither too high nor too low, just the right height for a little preparation to avoid a deadly fall.

Obviously, this was a pre-arranged exercise.

Leonard Churchill had heard before coming, that entry to the Royal Academy wasn’t easy, often involving some bizarre and Secret selection trials.

But the content of the trials changed every year, highly confidential, unknown to the students in advance.

It seemed that this year’s trial was… a bandit trial.

However, Leonard Churchill could tell, and he couldn’t afford to be careless.

This kind of trial actually had a real death toll.

That is to say, his replicated body could actually die.

With this in mind, Leonard Churchill pulled out a card, [Featherfall Technique], and instantly shifted from an uncontrolled free fall to a controlled descent.

This card was a basic one provided to everyone riding a Flying Dragon, able to be activated by anyone with even a hint of Curse Power.

The only test was the ability to respond.

Now not being at the Duke’s house, Leonard Churchill knew he had to stand out a bit during this test.

However, he could tell this was just a drill.

But those young, prep Knights didn’t have the same cool composure or the shrewd life experience.
