After hitting the ground, Lin En rolled several tis before standing, only to find his head slightly askew. He cautiously eyed Long Yi, who, instead of pursuing him, made a ’please’ gesture. Grasping his head in both hands, Lin En gave it a jerk, realigning it.
As Lin En took a step forward, he felt a soft spot under his feet, his head still feeling dizzy.
That punch made Lin En fully aware of Long Yi’s incredible strength.
Lin En’s extre training manner resulted in nearly all of his fighting aura enhancing his physical defense. Despite the support of twenty-three layers of fighting aura, Long Yi’s punch dislocated his head, turning his brain dizzy. Long Yi’s explosive strength was indeed terrifying.
Long Yi’s punching speed was quick but not faster than Lin En. Lin En had seen Long Yi’s punch coming. Even if he had to take a punch himself, he was determined to injure Long Yi. He firmly believed that with one scratch, Long Yi’s chest, including his ribs and even his internal organs, would be shattered!
Yet, looking at Long Yi, he appeared unhard!
Why was that?
Soon, Lin En noticed the dragon scale armor on Long Yi and the slowly fading five scratch marks on it.
"Dragon Scale Armor?"
Lin En couldn’t help but widen his eyes. He had heard of the dragon scale armor, a closely guarded secret of the Dragon Clan. Many desired to learn the thod of its creation, but the Dragon Clan remained indifferent. Only a select few won the favor of the Dragon Clan and obtained the dragon scale armor. Now, the beast in front of him wore it!
The envy and jealousy in his heart surfaced as disdain on his face.
"Hmph, just a lucky kid," Lin En said.
Long Yi was initially taken aback, then a touch of cruel smile crossed his face.
"I apologize, dumbass. I underestimated you earlier. Today, let show you how I really fight!"
With a solid slap on his chest, Long Yi’s dragon scale armour vanished, revealing his solid, tower-like body.
"Co on!"
Lin En inwardly called him a ’fool’, while also tearing off his shirt, revealing his lean body.
Long Yi admitted his mistake and reflected.
The continuous fights, the status of being an alien, the innate size, all made Long Yi a little complacent. Despite his efforts to avoid this feeling, Long Yi was no saint, and the nurous halos added inevitably led to his negligence. Lin En’s scratch, however, awakened Long Yi from his recklessness. Had Long Yi been caught by Lin En, he knew he would have had a serious injury. While Long Yi believed he would ultimately win, such a victory, at such a cost, seed unnecessary.
Having understood this, Long Yi’s entire attitude shifted. For the first ti in this world, he was fighting seriously.
When he encountered the assassins of the Black Dragon Empire, he was not this way; when he faced the assassins of the Third Prince, he did not do this. But facing an anonymous pawn like Lin En, Long Yi was serious.
That’s the way of the world; it isn’t the earth-shattering events, but rather the unexpected, unknown underdogs that truly change you.
When Lin En saw Long Yi remove his dragon scale armor, he started to laugh cheerfully. Although Long Yi’s gaze was different than before, and he seed more settling, one’s gaze and posture couldn’t determine victory!
"Youth is wonderful. Only the young are fearless, ignorant of the terror of death! It seems I need to teach the young a lesson on fear!"
As Lin En spoke, he charged forward.
"Unaware of the terror of death?" Long Yi laughed," That’s called the glory of death! Can soone like you, with a brain as hard as a shell, understand anything?"
Thud!
A punch!
A solid, direct punch!
No fancy moves, just a punch straight to Lin En’s chin. A cracking sound from his neck followed as his body flew backward.
Lin En couldn’t believe it. He didn’t even see Long Yi’s punch coming! He’d had a good defense! How did Long Yi find his weak spot?
Long Yi didn’t give Lin En much ti to think. He had already appeared even quicker at the spot Lin En was about to fall.
"I fear nothing, because I’m a warrior! I have things I must protect!"
Thud!
Another punch, hitting Lin En’s waist. Lin En heard a cracking sound from his waist.
"My loved ones!"
Thud!
"My lover!"
Smack!
"My friends!"
Smack!
"And the countless strangers I have never t, don’t know, and have never even heard of!"
Smack! Smack! Smack!
With each word Long Yi speaks, another punch lands. Lin En’s feet can’t even touch the ground. No matter how much he struggles or releases his fighting aura, it doesn’t help at all! This air combo completely inhibits him, with no part of his body supported and Long Yi always in his blind spot, making it impossible for him to gain leverage. The punches keep landing, and severe pain engulfs every joint on his body.
Yes, the joints!
Although Lin En’s bones are like steel, his joints aren’t! And Long Yi is specifically attacking those flexible joints all over his body.
Thump!
Eventually, Lin En lands on the ground. Instinctively, he tries to roll up and stand, but he ends up lying there after a few rolls. At this point, he can’t even move his own jaw a bit.
The sound of Long Yi’s footsteps cos from behind. Lin En desperately releases fighting aura but it only lifts him slightly off the ground. It blows up more dust that gets into his eyes and does not help him in any way.
Long Yi slowly reaches out his hand and grips his collar.
"You said I haven’t died? Well, have you died?"
A big hand slowly chokes Lin En’s neck. His eyes gradually roll back and he loses consciousness.
"I haven’t died? Hmm... The reality might just scare you."
Long Yi sneered, grabbed one of Lin En’s legs, and dragged him away from the woods.
In the tavern, the previous sounds of toasts were replaced by intense discussion. Among the crowd, there were so who had faith in Long Yi. They were all students of the Dragon Knight School who understood Long Yi well. However, they made up only a tiny minority of the crowd. Though the people around them laughed at them as fools who were just handing out money, they didn’t mind. They always believed in Long Yi. Nonetheless, during this argunt, they lacked confidence because Iron Hand Lin En had been a well-known figure for a long ti, while Long Yi was just a second-year student at the Dragon Knight School.
"No sounds now? It seems the winner has been decided." Joseph looks at Ai Lin with a smile on his face," How about this, Miss Ai Lin, as long as you apologize to , I won’t insist on taking your substitute puppet. We can just make friends. How’s that?"
Ai Lin just gave Joseph a cold look without answering him. In her heart, Long Yi is an invincible God of War, how could he lose?
"Don’t worry, pretty boy, if you lose, I certainly won’t attack you in the middle of the night, hehehe," Little Zi, with her big eyes, chuckled creepily.
Joseph imdiately shut his mouth because the speaker was the female demon. Being targeted by such an incessant, sleepless enemy ans you’ll never live a peaceful life!
Finally, footsteps were heard from outside the tent. Instinctively, Ai Lin wanted to run out, but she stopped herself. Finally, the curtain on the tent entrance was lifted and a large figure walked in.
"Brother Long!" Ai Lin exclaid with a delighted cry.
"Hey!"
Long Yi laughed, lifted his hand, and tossed the unconscious Lin En aside. He groaned as he hit the ground and slowly regained consciousness.
Long Yi said,"We had a productive discussion and deeply exchanged our views. But because the discussion was too intense, he accidentally passed out. I could only drag him back. That’s what happened."
Long Yi’s explanation was simple, yet, everyone understood what he ant."
They fought! They fought fiercely! And Long Yi won!
"Pay up!"
Those who placed their bets on Long Yi felt victorious. The suppressed feelings of the entire ti were finally let loose. They even felt like rushing to give Long Yi a big hug!
"Haha, Miss Ailin, you indeed have unique discernnt. So this belongs to you." The teenager who organized the betting walked over and handed Joseph’s elf knife to Ai Lin.
Ai Lin blushed as she accepted the knife and then passed it onto Long Yi.
Long Yi’s eyes glead the mont he saw the elf knife.
This was the craftsmanship of the elves, sothing Long Yi had long wanted to see. But the authentic elf products were wickedly extravagant, even in the world of luxury goods, they were considered top-tier. Long Yi, who had just begun to enjoy a bit of a nouveau riche vibe, still had the mindset of a small frugal farr who saved money for future use. Naturally, he wouldn’t splurge on this.
But now, soone is delivering it to his door?
"Who is this kind-hearted person? Let thank him personally!" Long Yi exclaid excitedly.
"The kind-hearted person is here!" Little Zi cheerfully popped up from behind Joseph and pointed at his head. At that mont, Joseph was squatting on the ground, checking on Lin En’s injuries. Suddenly, he felt a chill run down his spine, and he sat down on the ground in fright, thinking it was the female demon attacking. But after calming down, he realized she was only pointing at him.
"Ahaha, it’s indeed generous brother Joseph who would be willing to give away such a precious thing. If it was mine, I’d keep it as a family heirloom. I’d take it out once a year to admire it, and then imdiately put it back at the bottom of the box to prevent it from getting tainted by the mundane world."
