Chapter 1015: Three Sore Losers.
A human was the first to become a Dao Lord, not a dragon, an heavenly eagle, or an elemental. Just as the dragons had thought and expected to happen, this Dao Lord began to suppress them.To be fair, Tepid Scholar didn’t target only them, and he didn’t target them out of spite. Tepid Scholar was just throwing his weight around in an attempt to get as many benefits as possible. So Tepid Scholar suppressed everyone who wasn’t a Dao Lord equally.
Recalling those bad days, the dragon emperor smirked and said, "He likes to pretend to be a scholar, but he can be barbaric at times. He especially likes to conquer and control worlds too. What a pretender!"
"In fact, if not for the fact that he didn’t have enough power to mobilize in the Sea of Worlds, he would have killed every rank 9 Dao Initiate and prevented anyone else from becoming a Dao Lord to share his power."
Chuckling to himself, he said, "Now he has been overtaken by someone who used to be his junior. He even lost to that junior. What a loser?"
But then he remembered something that made him frown and say, "Come to think of it, maybe our situation wouldn’t have been this bad if he had succeeded in killing every rank 9 Dao Initiate and stopping everyone from becoming Dao Lords. At least, he would have stopped Martial Will and Black Chains from becoming Dao Lords and terrorizing us."
When he thought of this possibility, he snorted and said, "That damn Tepid Scholar. He really is useless."
"He couldn’t stop a stupid horn fiend and a half-breed dragon from becoming Dao Lords. How useless can one be?"
The more he spoke, the angrier he became. He didn’t get angry at the dragon god and the other dragons that failed to become Dao Lords, though. Instead, he focused all of his anger on Tepid Scholar.
To be fair, Tepid Scholar is part of the main reason the dragon race is doing poorly. After all, Tepid Scholar did kill the first dragon to succeed in becoming a Dao Lord.
Tepid Scholar couldn’t do much to the rank 9 Dao Initiates, but as it turned out, he could lie in wait for them to advance. Then he ambushed them as soon as they advanced and killed them while they were still weak.
So Tepid Scholar had to be blamed for the current state of the dragon race. If he couldn’t be blamed for the fact that he killed the dragon that became a Dao Lord, then he had to be blamed because he failed to kill the other Dao Lords that came after.
Because of Tepid Scholar’s ineptitude, other rank 9 Dao Initiates managed to become Dao Lords and escape from him. This allowed Tepid Scholar to share the achievement for the downfall of the dragon race with people like Martial Will, Black Chains, and the Human Emperor.
Martial Will was a member of the giant race. The giants used to compete with the dragons for control of the dragon court. Back then, it wasn’t the dragon court yet.
