Chapter 124: Kanlaon Evolves
The two men who were charging towards Pann was suddenly grabbed from behind by an enormous golden hand. They tried to struggle but was unable to even break free. The giant golden hands came from the old monk and he looked annoyed at the two young men.
"This is why I hate youngsters that are impulsive. They always plunge into their doom." The old monk said.
"You two should stay calm in a situation like this or else both of you will suffer." The woman in a hanfu said.
"They should get punished for their immaturity at least. They do not know how the world works as they had yet to leave the east continent." The woman in a kimono said.
The two then realized that in just another step then they would get either trapped in a raging inferno or trapped in a frozen coffin. The two guardians set their spells around Pann. If anyone was careless enough to get close then they would die without question. Saena though had her eyes sparkle as she thought the two guardian birds were super cool.
"It was almost close. A little bit more and I could have seen something interesting." Pann teased.
The two men that are beginning to calm down became angry. Although, they did not flare up like what they did earlier. They just stared at Pann as if they were piercing swords to his body. The woman in a hanfu once again addressed Adrian.
"If what you say is true demon child then you have no qualms to release one of ours. True Dragons are not meant to be leashed or kept as a pet." The woman in a hanfu said to Adrian.
"If Kanlaon wants to be released then I will release him. But that is not for you to decide. Even if you are a high ranking dragon, you cannot order those younger than you to follow you. Therefore, if we follow your logic then you cannot compel Kanlaon to leave me because you are an elder of his race." Adrian said like a cheeky brat.
When Pann heard what Adrian said, he could not contain his laughter. He did not expect to use the same logic that was thrown at him. This was one of the traits that make Adrian be hated by unreasonable elders but loved by his peers. Adrian might not be the talkative type but he is the logical and very observant type.
Although this would be seen as disrespectful in his culture, he does not mind because the other party was unreasonable. He did not like the notion that because they am older they are correct even if their logic is flawed. Respect is a two way thing not a one way street.
When the woman in a hanfu heard this, she was obviously both embarrassed and in rage. In her mind are thoughts like, "How dare you disrespect me! And you are one hundred years too early to contend with me brat!" The woman in a kimono also had a slight smile but returned to her stoic face. The hotheads though could no longer keep their rage so they went for a verbal assault instead.
"Yah! You better watch your mouth brat!" the man in an armor said.
"If you ever step on the eastern continent again, you will suffer brat!" the young man riding a cloud said.
Adrian did not really care much for their threats as they would be seen as pitiful. If they bully a person that is miles apart from them in terms of strength then they would be seen as childlike in mentality. They would not be able to move against him personally but they could still provide trouble for him. Adrian decided not to poke fun of them any longer and decided to keep quiet.
Kanlaon has already finished absorbing the fire and frost essence from the area. The cocoon of fire and ice was slowly dissipating. Kanlaon's body silhouette could be seen. Adrian could now see that Kanlaon grew twice his size previous size. The fire and ice essence was slowly fading away to reveal Kanlaon's changes.
Kanlaon's scales have changed from their red color to a blue and red color. The inner color was blue while the outline was red. Kanlaon's now had this occasional streak of cold air and fire revolve around him. His head now had ice crystal like spikes and his mane was now made of fire. He was even manipulating the ice and fire in his surroundings as if he was playing with the two elements. (He looks like this https://comicvine1.cbsistatic.com/uploads/scale_super/11136/111365328/6932561-2547236402-0%2Aa5Llkp5i3KqVoxjn. I do not own the image but imagine him like this with the color scheme I introduced.)

Adrian was very amazed by Kanlaon's transformation. He was amazed even more by the skills and titles he got. Kanlaon could now learn spells like a mage. The most interesting fact is that Kanlaon could now converser with him because Kanlaon's voice resounded in Adrian's mind. Kanlaon utilized their soul link to make that happen.
"Master! It is finally nice to be able to speak with you!" Kanlaon said via their soul link which surprised Adrian because the voice seemed loud.
"Woah! I guess you are too excited that your voice sounded so loud." Adrian replied.
"I am sorry. I am just glad that I can now converse with master." Kanlaon said.
Adrian expected Kanlaon's voice to sound a bit mature but he was surprised that he sounded like a boy in his pre-teens. Adrian though thought it was understandable as it was only recently since Kanlaon hatched. Even if dragons are powerful, it does not mean that all of them are wise and old. Sometimes a village gets destroyed just because of a young dragon's tantrum.
"Beautiful!" the woman wearing a hanfu muttered.
The others could only marvel at Kanlaon's form as dragons in the east continent are rather secretive. All dragons in the east continent was under the protection of the Green Dragon. Dragons in the east continent are usually in their human forms as some believe that their majestic dragon form was too much for human eyes. Regardless, dragons are all the same in terms of laziness because they have indefinitely long lives.
"Young one. Do you not want your freedom? Just say the word and this elder of yours will break you from your shackles." The woman in a hanfu declared while her eyes became slits. Her skin showed some scales and she also sprouted a tail.
"Master, what is that old hag saying? To free me from my shackles or whatever it is." Kanlaon asked in a normal voice for all to hear.
The woman in a hanfu vein popped when she heard that. Pann on the other hand was laughing like he never laughed for years. The woman's other four companions were at a loss on what to say. Adrian though was shocked and thought.
"Is his personality modeled after me? I mean he even looks a bit like me."
