Chapter 285 - 195 The Persistent Man!

Fang Te launched a sweeping strike!

But Long Yi wasn’t a fool. To confront the first strike just to gauge the strength of the opponent was enough, why would he honestly wait to be pounded by the second?

Impossible!

Turning around, taking a step back, he arrived at the ideal position for the trident.

"Dragon Tooth Strangulation!"

Using the tip of the trident, he created a colossal Dragon’s Tooth Strangulation! Fang Te attempted to fend off with his sword, but the massive suction force from Dragon’s Tooth Strangulation suddenly pulled the two men’s weapons together. Their Fighting Auras soared and their muscles tensed like steel.

Clang!

Another crisp sound resonated, Fang Te’s Dragon-slaying Sword astonishingly shattered!

The Dragon Tooth Strangulation seized the opportunity to infiltrate, Fang Te hurriedly employed his full Fighting Aura to defend. Without the support of the Fighting Aura, he was pushed all the way to the edge of the Four Side Array by Long Yi!

This brute force really scared Fang Te. He always assumed Long Yi’s brute force was slightly superior. He had not expected that, once he stopped amplifying his strength through Fighting Aura, he would be suppressed to this extent by Long Yi!

Boom!

With a fierce roar, Fang Te’s Fighting Aura exploded, blasting Long Yi away, he quickly maneuvered to the center of the Four Side Array.

Just kidding! If he fell from the Four Side Array, he would be immediately proclaimed killed in action. He didn’t dare to walk such a thin rope.

However, the collapse of his Dragon-slaying Sword left Fang Te very surprised. Although his Dragon-slaying Sword was not magnificent, it was, after all, a high-grade item exchanged with a considerable amount of academic credits. Couldn’t it break so soon?

But, it’s broken, so what? He has another one!

Pulling out another Dragon-slaying Sword, Long Yi unceremoniously used the trident as his Dragon-slaying Sword, displaying all sorts of high-level sword skills. Fang Te was horrified to find that in a pure face-off, Long Yi’s technique was remarkable, his moves were tricky. His use of Fighting Aura was even more impressive, and he was in no way inferior to him, a professional player, in the combination of various Fighting Aura techniques!

And the most direct proof was that he, a professional soldier with five Dragon Marks, was actually pressed and beaten by Long Yi!

Fang Te could hardly believe his own eyes. He! The esteemed Fang Te! A junior general! Was actually suppressed and beaten by a fifth-grader? This bastard is barely nineteen!

However, Long Yi didn’t have as many qualms. He concentrated all his attention on the fight. The opponent was an experienced professional soldier with five Dragon Marks. Although his Giant physique allowed Long Yi to compensate for some of the gaps in pure Fighting Aura, the elaborate combination of techniques that appeared out of the blue was enough to keep Long Yi busy for a time.

Yes, combination techniques. In a battle, you not only need to know how to attack the opponent, but you also need to know what to do after you successfully attack them. Are you going to retreat and defend, or continue pressuring them in hopes of inflicting more damage or even making one fatal move?

Long Yi had once taught Ai Lin these skills. In unarmed combat, he dared say that the asshole wouldn’t last ten rounds against him. But with the Dragon-slaying Sword, the opponent was a pro!

But! This is the kind of opponent Long Yi had been dreaming of! Suppression of Fighting Aura, suppression of technique. Only under these circumstances could Long Yi learn something from combat!

Long Yi conscientiously responded to the opponent’s every move, and thought about solutions. Long Yi did not dare to claim his learning ability was as strong as Ai Lin’s, but when it came to battle, he had the instincts of a wild beast.

On the battlefield, he was the strongest!

Once the battle entered the skill face-off phase, it meant that the basics began. Fang Te considered himself unbeatable in the basics, but after a few rounds, Fang Te was shocked to find that not a single drop got into this tall asshole!

"Do you know where your fault lies?" Long Yi suddenly shouted.

"Just fart if you have to!" Fang Te yelled directly. He didn’t have any prejudice against Long Yi, he was just born with this attitude.

"Because you don’t have a dragon." Long Yi laughed.

"Absolutely ridiculous!" Hearing what Long Yi said, Fang Te finally realized where the problem was. Ever since he left the academy, he hadn’t had many experiences of ground combat. Fighting on a dragon’s back was the main form of combat for a Dragon Rider. Over the past twenty years, Fang Te’s battle instinct developed a style of dragonback combat. Fighting on a dragon’s back was not just a battle between two Dragon Riders, but also a battle between two dragons. Every move you made had to take into account both your own dragon and the opponent’s.

But, Long Yi never rode a dragon! He had never fought on a dragon’s back!

If he were standing against someone who knew how to fight on a dragon’s back, Fang Te would have lost already. He would instinctively fear some of Fang Te’s special skills, but Long Yi wouldn’t! He simply didn’t understand!

Fang Te grew increasingly agitated. He even started to feel the drain of Fighting Aura!

Damn it! His Fighting Aura was running out!

The biggest issue for a dragon knight without a dragon is the lack of Fighting Aura. Fang Te finally faced the aftermath of his constant use of Fighting Aura at the beginning of the fight. Despite his five Dragon Marks, the exhausting of his Fighting Aura was apparent. Without touching his Mount Dragon, he couldn’t recharge any of his Fighting Aura. And this Long Yi fight was a standard Dragon Rider battle, summoning Mount Dragons was not allowed!

"How the hell is this kid’s Fighting Aura so abundant?" Fang Te was starting to pant, lacking Fighting Aura meant he had to compensate with brute force, this swift loss of stamina even got to him.

Long Yi laughed heartily: "A real man should have endurance!"

Fang Te’s face immediately turned beet red! Of course, not out of shyness! It was rage!

"Hang in there, my ass! I can outlast you too!"

Even as he said this, once the Fighting Aura ran out, there was no way to replenish it. Soon, Long Yi’s trident swept across Fang Te’s chest, sending him flying backward into the abyss.

"You little punk! You’ll remember this from me!" Fang Te’s final words echoed.

Feit covered his face and shook his head hopelessly. These twin brothers were truly a disgrace, being worn out by the opponent despite having five Dragon Marks.

In truth, Feit had high regard for Long Yi. Long Yi had always used his brute strength to compensate for his lack of Fighting Aura and successfully wore down Fang Te. His tactical choices and execution were flawless; there were no issues at all.

What a talent!

The numerous incidents Long Yi had caused since starting school made it impossible for Feit to ignore his name. In their idle chats, they had discussed Long Yi. What astonished them most was Long Yi’s fighting style. How to put it? He appeared seasoned at first sight but gave off a vibe of nonchalance, as if an experienced soldier toyed with a group of raw recruits.

This was utterly ludicrous, as Long Yi was the raw recruit.

Nevertheless, it wasn’t unheard of for a couple of geniuses to emerge from an academy. However, this particular genius had just defeated Fang Te, which piqued everyone’s curiosity.

"Long Yi, are you really human?" Feit suddenly asked.

"You can revere me like a God!" Long Yi jabbed his trident into the ground beside him, looking imposing and assumed a proud stance.

Feit could only shake his head. This guy really knew how to flaunt his bit of advantage!

"Well, do you want to take a break? You’ve used up quite a bit of energy just now, and I don’t want to take advantage of that. Plus, I can tell you in advance, I’m a mage and also have five Dragon Marks."

A mage? Five Dragon Marks?

As these key words surfaced, Feit’s identity became evident to the audience, as long as they weren’t completely out of touch with the news. The strongest brotherly duo on the frontier, the Fang Te and Feit brothers, young generals, Dragon-slaying experts, and reportedly the favorite individuals of the twin princesses.

Just moments ago, one of the brothers, the hot-tempered younger one, was smacked into the abyss by Long Yi. In a flash, a furious Fang Te appeared in the audience seat.

"You little brat! Don’t let me find you outside! If I do, I will take you up for a spin in the sky!" Although Fang Te did not make any excuses, after all, Long Yi won by his own abilities without resorting to tricks, Fang Te understood. However, he still had to vent his frustration.

A mage with five Dragon Marks.

Long Yi scratched his head, wishing he had brought Ai Lin with him so she could observe a professional’s fighting style. Feit thought Long Yi was struggling, so he reassured him with a smile: "Don’t worry, I won’t cast any strategic level magic. Since you have less than four Dragon Marks, I promise not to surpass four Dragon Marks worth of mana while fighting you."

With that, Feit compressed his mana to the level of three Dragon Marks!

Smart move!

On the one hand, he was showing magnanimity while on the other, compressing his strength to enhance his stamina!

This was significant because a mage’s greatest weakness was their low stamina. Usually in a war, a mage would either not participate or would unleash a calamitous spell, then retreat to rest immediately.

Once a duel began, if both sides were mages, it’d be okay, but if facing a Dragon Knight, a mage would usually unleash a flurry of spells to drown the knight.

But, Feit knew, such tactics would be ineffective against Long Yi.

The reason was simple; Long Yi was not only a Dragon Knight but also a mage. He understood the principles and application of magic as well as how to defend against it.

Bullying wouldn’t work while treating Long Yi as just a mage wouldn’t work either. There was evidence that Long Yi was not proficient in using magic, his greatest strength was still his Fighting Aura.

Therefore, the first step was to figure out Long Yi’s strength.

"Actually, you didn’t need to let me rest. I’ve been in one fight after another for so long. If I were going to run out of energy, I would’ve retreated to the audience already. So, come on, I’m quite looking forward to your performance," said Long Yi.

Looking forward to... my performance?

Feit couldn’t help but laugh. This youngster spoke with the tone of a seasoned vet?

"Alright! Look forward to it then!"

Without wasting words, Feit raised his hand, and a magic missile shot out.

He didn’t speak a incantation!

He casted silently!

A technique that sacrificed some power to cast magic without uttering a single word. The magic missile was the size of a basin with a dazzling glow. Although it was a silent casting, the power didn’t diminish in the least!
