Chapter 587 - 466: Now, I Can Rest Assured

"What do you mean there’s nothing to worry about? This is going against the whole Dragon Clan, if this is no big deal, then what is?" Suolin said impatiently. While Suolin knew that Long Yi was a Giant, and the relationship between the Giants and the Dragon Clan was not quite amicable, with Long Yi’s current state, he simply could not contend with the Dragon Clan!

If all million dragons from Dragon Island were stirred into action, they could obliterate the entire human world! What could Long Yi possibly do to counter that?

"I am not opposing the Dragon Clan, they are just planning to cause problems for me. I simply do not plan to be so cooperative, there’s nothing to worry about, hehe," Long Yi explained nonchalantly.

"Well, it doesn’t really matter. I’ll smash one if one comes, and if ten thousand come, I’ll smash ten thousand. It’s okay, I’ll protect you!" Ruosha, the fearless woman, thumped her flat chest and said.

"See? I have Ruosha protecting me, so everything is taken care of, isn’t it!" Long Yi said.

It was at this moment that the first round was about to begin.

A red ray was shot directly from above the Floating Island, covering Wesley.

The first round was between Wesley and a Dragon Knight of the Red Dragon Empire.

This seemed to send out a signal, we could find you no matter where you are.

Wesley furrowed his brow and said,

"Wait for me."

Far away, Wesley’s Observation Dragon flew over, strange symbols branded on its body.

Wesley entered the arena and extended a respectful greeting to the opponent’s Red Dragon Knight.

Then, something strange happened. Despite a cautious start, the person was clearly not a threat to Wesley. However, Wesley played very conservatively. After a dozen rounds, Wesley seemed to be a bit negligent and was held at sword point to the throat by the opponent’s Dragon-slaying Sword. Wesley immediately conceded.

Afterwards, the Observation Dragon flew back to the stands, and Wesley returned to Long Yi’s side.

"Okay, I can now concentrate on this matter."

Anyone with discerning eyes could tell that Wesley was oddly out of sorts, but nobody knew why he was in such a state all of a sudden.

The competition continued, and no one in Long Yi’s group continued speaking. Everyone was either watching the competition in the field or contemplating their own thoughts.

Actually, the one who was the most unsatisfied at this moment was Long Yi.

He didn’t wish for anyone in his group to participate in this competition. He didn’t want Ai Lin, Suolin, Ruosha, Wesley the chef, or the Mosquito to come. If it were possible, he would hope that not a single person from the White Dragon Empire would come. But if he had spoken out directly about this prior to this and tried to persuade Ai Lin and the others using this reason, Ai Lin would definitely not agree to let Long Yi come alone. The always loyal Wesley and the others also wouldn’t let him come alone.

But if Long Yi and the others didn’t show up, the Dragon Clan’s objective would not be met. Then nobody would know what the Dragon Clan’s next move would be.

Although Long Yi had always been waiting for a showdown with the Dragon Clan, this was his first real possible contact with them. If he were to give up directly and wait for the Dragon Clan’s sneaky tricks, that would be inappropriate.

So, Long Yi had brought his companions to Dragon Island after making a great decision. He had made up his mind that if he found himself in danger, he would, at all costs, contact Asus and ask him to help keep his friends safe. And Long Yi was prepared for the worst-case scenario: to unleash his most powerful attack! Everyone would be doomed together! Anyway, he recovered quickly. He would be as good as new after sixteen years. By then, even Ruosha would have matured, so what’s there for him to be afraid of!

The battle continued, and the chef and Mosquito did not follow Wesley’s example of throwing the match. They thought if everyone beside Long Yi inexplicably conceded, this would surely reveal Long Yi’s awareness of their plan. Once their plan was exposed, a thousand or so people would not even be enough to fill the Dragon Clan’s teeth gap!

The chef’s Hive Dragon possessed excellent long-range combat abilities, but the chef’s clumsy stature made him unsuitable for close-range combat. So no matter how hard he tried, the chef eventually lost. The small-scale battle did, however, bring out the Mosquito’s strengths.

After all, the Mosquito had nine dragons!

The opponent was a Dragon Knight from the Black Dragon Empire, who was undoubtedly powerful. But he was still ruthlessly drained of life by the Mosquito’s nine dragons!

The Nine Mosquito Dragons held a powerful advantage. Even though they might not be able to demonstrate equivalent strength in group fights due to their relatively low damage potential, their continuous attacks in these one-on-one scenarios allowed them to stack their damage effectively. And the Mosquito did not engage the opponent in bodily combat, focusing on draining their strength instead. The opponent’s dragon knight and black dragon were poisoned by the Nine Mosquito Dragons, leaving them slow, stupefied, and suffering excruciating pain and itching all over their bodies.

The Mosquito had originally planned to end the opponent’s life by stabbing them through the head. Instead, an elder humanoid dragon terminated the match, creating an invisible barrier that descended from the sky to separate the two opponents. The barrier instantly snapped the Mosquito’s thin sword and also severed one of the black dragon’s horns.

"I thought they would let us slaughter each other," Long Yi said with a smile.

"Maybe they’re just amassing hatred for the final match," Wesley said.

Ais’s opponent was a Dragon Knight from the Blue Dragon Empire. Even though the Blue Dragon could fly, it was essentially a water dragon and not very strong in terrestrial combat. He acknowledged Ais’s superiority after a few rounds of combat and conceded immediately.

In reality, the Dragon Knights of the White Dragon Empire, just like those of the Black Dragon Empire, have already far exceeded the standard of the Dragon Knights in the past. One could say that only the Dragon Knights of the Black Dragon Empire can truly contend with the Dragon Knights of the White Dragon Empire!

Battles followed one after another, with more and more people being eliminated. Finally, in the third round, the Mosquito was defeated by Ais.

And in the fourth round, Ais was defeated by a berserk Black Dragon Knight.

At that time, the Black Dragon Knight and Ais were evenly matched. Ais’s fighting style, though rigid in Long Yi’s eyes, proved surprisingly effective against the Black Dragon Knight. Even after the Black Dragon Knight transformed into a Dragon Warrior, he still couldn’t defeat Ais, who had taken the Super Soldier Potion. Then, the Dragon Warrior suddenly turned into a huge monster, his power surging wildly. Ais was no match and was finally defeated. But the monster kept pressing forward, hell-bent on killing Ais. The opponent’s black dragon then suddenly opened its mouth wide, and just inches away, a torrential dragon breath sprayed out, melting the Dragon Knight that had turned into a monster into a pile of repulsive black liquid.

Faced with Yake’s displeasure, the Dragon Clan provided an explanation.

Rules had to be followed.

A tie meant loss, with both sides not advancing. Seeing this result, Ai Lin felt a sense of relief in her heart.

Then, the fight would be amongst ourselves.

Eventually, sixty-four people advanced to the finals.

Thirty from the Black Dragon Empire, including Yake, sixteen from the White Dragon Empire, including Long Yi, Ai Lin, Suolin, and Ruosha.

However, Nim appeared on a small kingdom’s list.

Strange, wasn’t Nim initially in White Dragon Empire? How did he end up in that small country? Looking again at that country’s list, the other qualifier was named Nium.

Oh! So these two Celestial Clan warriors are them!

Also, the three elves advanced too. As Long Yi was deep in thought, he didn’t pay attention to the elves’ battle. But seeing that their bodies bore no signs of injuries, he understood their strength must’ve been formidable enough to easily overcome any opponent.

This shows that the warriors of the Black Dragon Empire are indeed strong. During the competition, even when facing their own, they fought unto death without going easy. Against non-Black Dragon Empire opponents, they were even more ruthless. The White Dragon Empire’s warriors could attest to this.

Even though those chosen here were the elites of the White Dragon Knights, the gap between them and the top warriors of the Black Dragon Empire couldn’t be ignored.

The contest went on for an entire day, as night fell, it was inevitable that the finals would continue to the next day.

The Dragon Knights that had fought for the day returned to their base.

Many Dragon Knights felt that the Black Dragon Knights they faced this time were obviously stronger and smarter than before.

"They used the Crystal Core to enhance the Dragon Knights."

Long Yi said.

"Crystal Core?" Wesley couldn’t believe it, wasn’t there Crystal Poison in the Crystal Core? How could it be used?

"Yes, the energy released by the Crystal Core is used to suppress the corrosion of Hell’s power on the Dragon Knights. I suspect that the two idiots, Yake and Tilian, have already supplemented every Dragon Knight with this nutrient of Hell’s power." said Long Yi.

"This is trouble, does that mean we even less likely to win?" Wesley said anxiously.

"There is a chance of winning, but it depends on whether we can get out of here alive. Honestly, I would prefer if Tilian and Yake were balanced out, that way I could save a lot of trouble and die without any regrets." Long Yi said.

"Hey, Brother Long, don’t say such inauspicious words." Ai Lin quickly covered his mouth with her little hand.

"Tomorrow’s finals, it would be our turn to fight. Come on, girls, to ensure victory tomorrow, we must get some proper rest today!"

Saying this, Long Yi pushed open the giant door. At that moment, the sky turned white while the ground turned black!

Long Yi suddenly found himself in a strange space, boundless and silent!

"Hey! Who’s there!" Long Yi called out.

"Hehe, who can help you in such a dangerous situation except your favorite tutor, Yavenny?"

As she spoke, a soft body pressed against him from behind.

Long Yi was frightened and ran out immediately.

"Ma’am, could you please show up in front of me next time?" Long Yi said grinningly.

"Sure, whatever you want me to do, I’ll do it, I’ll listen to you——" Yavenny bit her lip, slowly leaning closer.

Long Yi quickly put his hands in front of him and stepped back. "Ma’am, please talk properly. It’s inappropriate to invade my consciousness like this."

Yavenny gave a flirtatious laugh, and somehow suddenly ended up in Long Yi’s embrace. "So, my little friend. Isn’t this quiet enough in our minds, or do you want this in reality too?"

Long Yi thought he couldn’t communicate with Yavenny - she could steer the topic anywhere no matter what she did. Long Yi simply didn’t speak and just looked at her.

"Not speaking? Is it an acknowledgement then?" Yavenny poked at Long Yi’s chest with a finger, laughing, then suddenly turned around and left his embrace: "But you’re not up to it right now; your beloved tutor Yavenny might just accidentally kill you. So, you’d better just enjoy it in your consciousness."

This isn’t what I wanted, stop portraying me as desperate enough to even enjoy imaginary scenarios! Long Yi yelled in his heart.（To be continued...
