X-Dragon Era

Although the explosion was fierce, it came suddenly and departed just as swiftly. When the explosion finally ceased, the entire field had been completely transformed.

Looking around, the vast field was now filled with Flame Dragons, each about the size of a man. There were hundreds of them, all fluttering their wings and encircling Xin Yun with no way out.

Under the terrified gaze of all the students, the mouths of all the Fire Dragons gradually lit up with a fiery red glow. Fist-sized fireballs rapidly condensed, one after another... and then hundreds of fireballs shot towards Yinglong's Dragon Array Formation in quick succession.

For a moment, it was as if a rain of fire had descended from the sky. Countless bright, fist-sized fireballs poured down on the Dragon Array Formation formed by Yinglong without any respite, leaving no room to dodge.

All witnesses were dumbfounded by such a dense attack. How could one dodge it! With a hundred Fire Dragons firing in unison, even the most skillful dodging techniques seemed useless.

The one most deeply shaken was probably Speedy Slash. As a War Dragon known for speed, he dreaded these large-scale, covering attacks the most. They rendered his dodging completely futile... After all, even the most skillful dodging required space.

The relentless assault continued, and Yinglong's body was completely engulfed by flames. Those hundreds of Fire Dragons seemed tireless, firing breath after breath in a dense web of firepower that thoroughly locked Yinglong in the center.

"We're done for! We're really going to lose this time..." Seeing this unfold, Speedy Slash cried out in despair.

Hearing Speedy Slash's words, Ke Zhan sneered and said, "Open your eyes and watch closely. Although he is bound to lose this challenge, he certainly won't lose in such a way. Haven't you noticed? Up until now, aside from 'Dragon Breath' and physical impacts, he hasn't used any of his abilities."

"Ah!" Gazing incredulously at Ke Zhan, Speedy Slash shook his head and said, "Don't tell me he can still win under these circumstances. It's impossible. There's no escaping such a completely engulfing strike, how could he possibly win!"

Ke Zhan gave Speedy Slash a sidelong glance, wanting to explain but couldn't. Although he had learned much about Xin Yun over the past few days, it was the result of Xin Yun's trust, and it didn't mean he could divulge those details at will. Many things were like that; not hidden from one's own people, but not necessarily open to the public either.

Although the Fire Dragon's attacks were dense, as long as Xin Yun used his 'Acid Fog Corrosion', the situation would surely be turned on its head instantly. No matter how intense the attacks, if one didn't even know where the target was, they'd be equivalent to nothing, right?

And Speedy Slash knew that, despite the number of Fire Dragons, their power was dispersed, and each little fireball's strength was only about that of a Bronze One Star at best. Against such attacks, even if you pounded him for a lifetime, Xin Yun wouldn't suffer so much as a hair out of place.

The attack maintained its intensity for more than ten seconds before the firelight on all the small Fire Dragons started to dim. Finally... after the last salvo, the Fire Dragons gradually dissipated, turning into streams of red light converging toward the same location.

"What! This can't be possible!" As the assault ceased, Xin Yun's figure was revealed once again. Amidst the incredulous stares of all the students, Xin Yun still stood with his hands casually in his pockets, his cool gaze lingering on the rapidly converging red mass of light, his expression a mix of a smile and not quite a smile.

The most surprising thing was that, despite being under attack for so long, the entirety of Yinglong's body remained as new as at the start, without a single scratch or scorch mark, as though he had just entered the arena. How could this be! Were the thousands of fireballs just an illusion?

"Hmph!" As the red light gathered together, vaguely forming the shape of a Flame Dragon, Xin Yun let out a cold snort. Yinglong spread his wings in an instant and surged forward, reaching the flame front. His slender dragon body spiraled up the path of light, entwining like a dragon coiling around a pillar.

With everyone watching, Xin Yun remained expressionless, hovering in mid-air. Yinglong spiraled strangely in the sky, and within his encircling body, a red light was rapidly condensing.

"Roar!" Finally, amidst a resounding roar that shook the heavens, the red flame finished condensing and reformed into a massive Flame Dragon. Unfortunately... just as it roared to the sky, it was completely silenced.

It wasn't that the Flame Dragon had lost its desire to roar, but rather the tail belonging to Yinglong, which was coiled around its neck, suddenly tightened, rendering it voiceless, leaving it with no option but to stop.

As the Flame Dragon took shape, everything became clear, and the bizarre pose of Yinglong was finally explained. As one's gaze followed, one would see that Yinglong's body was tightly coiled around the Flame Dragon's joints, immobilizing it completely, no matter how much it struggled.

On closer examination, one would find that Yinglong's coils were precisely at the most difficult places to exert force.

"Wow..." Witnessing this scene, all the students cried out in shock, especially Speedy Slash, who jumped up in excitement, shouting, "We won! We've already won!"

In the face of Speedy Slash's celebratory cheers, Ke Zhan ignored him and furrowed his brows, studying the scene where the Flame Dragon Chief faced Ying Long Tail Needle at its throat. Just as Speedy Slash had said, Xin Yun had already won, but... hadn't he said he wouldn't win? Did he change his mind?

As Ke Zhan pondered, Instructor Mei Wu finally announced loudly, "Alright, now I declare, the winner of this match..."

"Wait!" Just as Instructor Mei Wu was about to declare the victor, Xin Yun suddenly interrupted her. In an instant, everyone turned their heads to look at Xin Yun. (To be continued, for further information, please visit www.qidian.com. More chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
