I Have Seven Dragon Souls In a cultivation world

Chapter 101 - Dragon Son

but who could imagine that the man confirmed dead would appear in front of him still alive and well! 

Breaking away from the hug, Vincent couldn't help repeating himself

"It really is good to see you again, I honestly thought-"

But before Vincent could continue, he noticed an astonishing fact

"you! your strength ..."

After the surprise of meeting Jarred again wore off, Vincent finally had time to look at Jarred again

"Your strength! You've broken through to the martial adept realm!"

"Hahaha! Don't be surprised Vincent! The treasure that saved my life was also powerful enough to give me the boost to jump to the next big realm!"

Fate really works in mysterious ways.

A lifetime of struggle can be overcome in just one moment. Sometimes I don't know if I should feel joy or if I should feel despair..."

Quickly shaking the negative thoughts out of his head, Vincent changed the topic.

"Vincent, as your brother in arms, I have a favour I need to ask of you."

Hearing this, Vincent quickly replied.

"Just ask away brother, what's a small favour compared to the years spent on the battlefield together!"

hearing this, a smile burst out onto Jarred's face. 

"Well, it's about your role as the head of the department of war and combat in The Hidden Dragon Academy"

Hearing this, Vincent's brows raised.

From just the tone of Jarred's voice, he could already tell that this wasn't a small favour he was asking.

"I have a grandson now and he's extremely talented. When I first saw him, I almost couldn't believe my eyes!"

"Okay, Okay. So where are you going with this" asked Vincent.

"Well, I have never seen a talent like this before in my life, Vincent, not even during my time at the capital! The legendary sword Saint is the only person even comparable to him"

hearing Jarred boast about his grandson to such ridiculous levels only made Vincent more certain about the difficulty of the favour he was about to ask.

" Well, seeing as my grandson is so talented and you're the department head of the department of war and combat, I'm asking if it's possible to appoint him as the dragon son of your department."

"Dragon son! Jarred, have you gone mad!"

Hearing Jarred's crazy request, Vincent almost collapsed in his chair right then and there!

"Jarred, do you have any idea of the importance of a dragon son to a department?! Dragon sons of a department are the focus of almost all the resources the department has to offer, but the treatment doesn't end there. 

The dragon sons have so much power that the only people who can truly order them in the whole of the Hidden Dragon Academy are the department heads and the principal himself!

And you want me to appoint a kid I've never met before in a role of such power"

Vincent almost couldn't believe what Jarred was asking

"Jarred, just because I'm department head doesn't mean I can just create the rules I have the responsibility of hundreds in my shoulders, even if you're a brother that walked through life and death with me I can't possibly jeopardise the whole department because of you."

"Hold on, Hold on!" Jarred quickly interrupted Vincent before he could even continue talking 

"Vincent, I'd never ask something so ridiculous from you as to just randomly make my grandson the dragon son. All I ask is that you personally watch his entrance exam and trust me Vincent, at that point, the decision after that will be obvious to make!"

hearing Jarred's words, Vincent was stunned for a second before he quickly burst out laughing 

"Well, seeing as you so confident in the young boy, I guess I have no other choice than to see this so-called genius for myself."

...

back to Dante and Rebecca,

Dante and Rebecca were in their carriage as it sped along the roads just out of the Capital city towards a mountain range a few miles away 

As Dante and Rebecca arrived at the foot of the mountain, they were greeted with the site of hundreds of carriages and almost ten times the amount of people.

This grand sight only went to further highlight the prestige of the Hidden Dragon Academy in Dante's mind .

Dante and Rebecca got off the carriage and entered into the line of hundreds of thousands of contestants taking part in the assessment.

And right as Dante started inspecting the surrounding people, he heard Rebecca start to speak to him

"Dante, I've got to leave now, from this point on only examines are allowed to remain here"

hearing this, Dante calmly replied 

"Don't worry Rebecca, trust me. This assessment will be a walk in the park."

But even after listening to Dante's confident reply, Rebecca still wasn't convinced and wanted to wanted to say something else. But seeing the confident smirk on Dante's face, she could only nod her head before flying off.

 A few minutes after Rebecca left, Dante was still stood in the crowd of people waiting for the tests to start 

Suddenly, a figure appeared in the sky over the crowd of people and spoke

"I'm happy to see so many applicants have come to the entrance tests of my Hidden Dragon Academy!

My role here is to guide you to your first tests.

After you enter the Hidden dragon Academy, you'll be separated into different gates by the letter on your entrance certificate and through this gate will be the location where you conduct your tests.

These tests will be hard and many of you may even fail. But the ones who emerge will be some of the best talents among the kingdom and have the honour of attending the prestigious Hidden Dragon Academy.

 Well, I won't keep you guys here any longer. Good luck to you all and may the tests begin!"

after those words, the mysterious figure seemed to disappear as the crowd of people started heading towards the gates.

looking at the Giant opening gates leading towards the Hidden Dragon Academy, Dante couldn't help feel an uncontrollable excitement swell inside of him. 

 ...

The entrance tests into The Hidden Dragon Academy could be divided into four stages.

The first stage was the most simple of all,

a simple measurement of strength!

after the gates of the Hidden Dragon Academy opened, Dante entered and navigated his way towards his designated gates. 

 slowly approaching his gate, he saw the giant word G on top of the gate as he entered.

entering the gate, he saw a much smaller group of people than the one outside the academy.
