Chapter 1129 - 880 Dragon Scale Armor

"Hahaha! So you do know! Hahaha! This is a real Dragon Scale Armor! It’s the power of the Dragon Clan!" Hei Jing laughed gleefully.

Dragon Scale Armor was something Long Yi had used in his earlier days while studying at the White Dragon Empire’s Dragon Rider Academy in the Human Realm. Magic was used to transform dragon scales into armor that covered the whole body, and the toughness of the armor varied with the different dragon scales used. Initially, Long Yi had relied on the toughness of the dragon scales for effective self-training, but back then the intrinsic defense of the Dragon Scale Armor wasn’t particularly high-end, as everything in the Human Realm, from the smallest atom to the largest planet, was limited by Giant’s rules. But now, the effect of the Dragon Scale Armor was entirely different; this was a true representation of the dragon scales’ defensive power!

Most importantly, at this moment, the power of the Dragon Clan throughout the entire multiverse, except in the Human Realm, was under seal!

"The Dragon Clan, you mean those pitiful traitors?" Long Yi spoke indifferently.

"Yes, even if you call them traitors, even if you believe their strength has been sealed. But dragon scales are still dragon scales! And the great Master Elma has already bestowed new power upon the Dragon Scale Armor! You will never be able to defeat me!" Hei Jing laughed madly, full of confidence in his Dragon Scale Armor.

"Where did Elma get the dragon scales from? You better not tell me they are from his personal collection, since Dragon Scale Armor can only be cast with freshly shed dragon scales!" Long Yi said with a frown.

"Haha, I didn’t expect you to be so knowledgeable and even know the casting conditions of Dragon Scale Armor. But why should I tell you these things? Remember, we are enemies!" Hei Jing had seen Long Yi’s unease and knew this was his chance. Although he no longer had the opportunity to counterattack, as long as he didn’t die, Long Yi’s strength would surely be exhausted!

"That’s right, if it is Dragon Scale Armor, then Elma must have found a dragon." Long Yi’s eyes twitched, surprised that after being away from the Human Realm for so long, he had finally heard of a dragon’s whereabouts again.

"So what if it is?" Hei Jing realized that the shattered parts of his body had almost completely healed, he quietly began gathering mana, plotting his deadly strike.

"If so, then I’ve lost interest in you. Actually, I had wanted to continue my performance, delivering a spectacular battle to the audience! Unfortunately, I must leave now."

As he spoke, Long Yi once again drew his war hammer and was about to smash it down.

"But you don’t have a chance now!"

Boom!

An unprecedented surge of mana blasted Long Yi away, followed by a series of incredibly powerful spells. After dodging several spells in succession, Long Yi finally realized that there were Dragon Clan runes on the Dragon Scale Armor!

He recognized the magic; it was definitely not something that the sealed Dragon Clan could cast.

"Excellent, now you have successfully piqued my interest in your Dragon Scale Armor," Long Yi remarked while dodging.

"So what? You plan to steal my Dragon Scale Armor? But you cannot even harm me!" Hei Jing taunted, still laughing.

"Is that so?" Long Yi dodged another spell, and then lifted his war hammer high; it emitted a ringing sound that grew louder and louder.

"You think to kill me with that sound? Hahahaha!" Hei Jing asked, laughing loudly.

"Yes, exactly as you guessed," Long Yi replied.

Hum!

The resounding noise from the war hammer erupted, and Hei Jing who had been casting spells suddenly felt the energy in his body momentarily stop flowing.

"What! What’s going on?" Hei Jing looked at his hands in bewilderment.

Hum!

Another wave of noise erupted, and Hei Jing found himself frozen in place without the ability to move an inch, unable even to utter a word!

Long Yi, holding the still-resounding war hammer, approached Hei Jing, who was shrinking back to his original size.

"The only reason I’ve kept you around until now was actually just to wheedle information out of you. Now that you are of no use, you might as well be reborn."

Unable to move or speak, Hei Jing could only watch as Long Yi placed the war hammer gently on his chest.

Immediately after, there was a ’bang’, and Hei Jing inside the black Dragon Scale Armor turned completely into dust! Sparkling crystal powder sprayed out from his eyes, nose, and mouth.

Long Yi picked up the war hammer, transforming it into a greatsword.

"I didn’t know what this was at first, so I took some detours. But now that I know it’s Dragon Scale Armor, things will be much easier."

The greatsword was lifted high before being thrust down heavily, and the Dragon Scale armor, devoid of internal support, was easily pierced. Almost simultaneously, a series of runes formed around the wound of the Dragon Scale armor. These were the rune magics of the Dragon Clan, attempting to expel the greatsword and repair the Dragon Scale armor, but Long Yi wasn’t about to give it that chance.

"Come on, Dragon Scale armor, let’s see who you should truly obey!"

As he spoke, a surge of Dragon Power was released along the blade and injected into the Dragon Scale armor. Long Yi possessed the most genuine Dragon Power within him, a force that was incomparable to ordinary power. Almost at the same time, the Dragon Scale armor felt the call from Long Yi, and the once incredibly solid armor instantly melted into liquid, flowing up the greatsword to Long Yi’s hand, turning into a palm-sized Dragon Scale!

A Black Dragon scale.

Long Yi stashed the Dragon Scale into his personal space and glanced at the powder that continued to reconstitute itself.

"Look, compared to me, you are nothing," he said to the powder.

As he spoke, Long Yi conjured up a sphere of light in his hand, a piece of Stellar Material given to him by Xiaodie, emitting light identical to the sun’s.

"Did you know? Sunlight can sterilize," Long Yi said to the cluster of powder.

The powder, which had been reconstituting itself, abruptly ceased and began to dissolve under the light’s radiance, before disappearing without a trace.

Everyone had anticipated a ground-shaking battle between Hei Jing and Long Yi, but the outcome proved to them that such a battle was impossible. The so-called great battle wouldn’t occur because Long Yi wouldn’t allow it!

"You don’t really think he’s qualified to challenge me, do you?" said Long Yi, who hadn’t left.

The audience fell silent.

"Had you not dubbed him ’the second Long Yi,’ I wouldn’t have even deigned to face this wretch. He thinks that he can defeat me just because he has mastered a tiny bit of special ability? Ridiculous!" Long Yi said with a sneer.

"Long Yi! Long Yi!" Once again, the crowd chanted Long Yi’s name, and the whole place erupted with excitement.

In fact, the spectators hadn’t heard the exchange between Long Yi and Hei Jing because Long Yi had already ordered not to broadcast their spoken words during this fight. Aside from the explosions and roaring, what the audience heard was mostly the onsite commentator. They only saw Long Yi breaking Hei Jing’s body repeatedly, then Hei Jing’s violent counterattack turned into dust. As for what covered Hei Jing’s body in the end, very few people recognized it, and even those who did didn’t care.

Except for one person.

That person was Zulal.

As the direct supervisor of this project, Zulal had been observing Hei Jing’s combat performances. Indeed, Hei Jing had always satisfied him greatly, even giving him the illusion that he could defeat Long Yi.

But Long Yi proved one thing with facts—he was absolutely undefeatable!

Zulal had always known that Long Yi was incredibly strong, but the extent of his strength was still somewhat beyond his expectations, particularly how Long Yi smashed the Crazy Demons into dust with just one hammer strike, and that was through a layer of Dragon Scale armor. Afterwards, Long Yi even managed to strip the Dragon Scale armor from Hei Jing’s body! This was simply unthinkable! Could it be that Long Yi had truly mastered the Dragon Clan’s magic? Impossible! While listening to Long Yi’s speech, Zulal quietly sorted out the battle in his mind. He would soon return to the Ancient Mage Tower, and once back, Master Elma would certainly expect a comprehensive report of the fight, and he had to satisfy Master Elma!

While thinking this, Zulal suddenly heard a little girl’s voice by his ear: "Hehe, found you!"

Immediately afterward, Zulal’s vision went dark. When he regained consciousness, he was in a metallic room. The room contained only two chairs, one of which he occupied, while the other sat empty, across from him.

Zulal tried to cast his magic, but to his shock, he found he was powerless; this room was sealed with a powerful Array that negated all Mana within.

At that moment, the metallic door in front opened, and Zulal noted the door was half a meter thick! Ten bolts, thicker than an arm, locked the entire room from three directions.

"Master Zulal, we finally meet," came a familiar voice with a familiar face. Long Yi sat down in the chair opposite him, holding a headband in his hand, which was Zulal’s mental power resistance headband.

"How did you discover me?" Zulal asked.

"Not just you, but all of you," Long Yi said with a smile, tossing the headband aside. "In the entire massive Arena, there are certain individuals who do not exactly enjoy the spectacle; they tend to stand out. And among those few who don’t enjoy the match, some exhibit an unusual resistance to mental powers, making them even more conspicuous. So, once the number of people is reduced to below a hundred, it becomes rather easy to find you folks."

Zulal gave a wry smile of resignation. It turned out just as he had thought; Long Yi was simply too clever. Unless one didn’t reveal any flaws at all, giving him even the slightest edge would allow him to catch up immediately.

"Alright, I’m in your hands now. What do you want?" Zulal asked, resignedly but deciding to negotiate terms with Long Yi.

"Ah, the wise Master Zulal," Long Yi said. "What I want is very simple." With that, Long Yi took out the Dragon Scale, showing it to Zulal for a moment, "This Dragon Scale, where did it come from?"
