The visuals of this movie are incredibly impactful. As the young protagonist approaches the ground, his skin crystallizes into scales, and his back wings spread out, transforming him into a red flying dragon that soars into the sky.
At this moment, Lu Wenyin couldn't help but let out a scream, for the scene was simply too thrilling.
The red dragon that the protagonist transformed into ascended into the sky and performed a series of acrobatic flights. The opening sequence, lasting a full ten minutes, was visually stunning. The atmosphere created by the sound effects was tense and exciting. Despite the lack of any plot, it was extremely satisfying to watch.
When the red dragon, transformed from the protagonist, flew over the land and began to glide steadily, a beautifully white dragon came up from behind. When Lu Wenyin saw the white dragon, she couldn't help but exclaim, "What a beautiful dragon!"
Ning Yue bared his teeth and grimaced, as Lu Wenyin, in her admiration, unconsciously grabbed his arm, her nails digging deeply into the muscles of his arm. Ning Yue didn't interrupt her viewing experience but instead handed her a drink. Lu Wenyin took it, and finally released Ning Yue's arm.
The two dragons flew in the sky for a while and then landed on a steep peak. The white dragon transformed into an exceptionally beautiful girl, but her expression was cold. She scolded him lightly, "You always play these dangerous tricks. Our dragon powers are not meant for such trivial things."
The male protagonist called out excitedly, "Don't you think it's fun? Jumping off a peak and transforming just a bit slower, you'd be crushed to death! Man! It's so exhilarating, this is what we should be doing at our age, not like those elders who guard their treasures and sleep all day."
The girl, who had transformed from the white dragon, said quite discontentedly, "You are the only dragon in the entire clan who can master the instant transformation spell, yet you use it for such trivial things. You haven't even prepared for this year's coming-of-age ceremony. I want to see how you will pass the rite of passage."
The young man shrugged, not caring, and said, "No dragon has ever failed the coming-of-age ceremony. Even if the evaluation is low, the mountain assigned by the elders will be a bit worse. What's the problem with that?"
The young man pointed to the mountains ahead and said, "There are countless peaks over there. When the time comes, I can just occupy one of them, which will be hundreds of times better than the mountains assigned by the elders."
The girl's face changed, and she called out, "That is human territory. You can't choose to live there. You will be killed by human dragon hunters, and your skin and bones will be made into the highest-grade dragon armor."
The young man shook his head and said, "Sali! You are too timid. I'm not afraid of humans. You should know, I am the strongest young dragon in five hundred years!"
Just as the young man made a face, the girl flew up into the air and transformed back into a white dragon, flying away.
The story truly unfolds from here. The following plot is very popcorn-like.
The young man is challenged by the elders during his coming-of-age ceremony, tasked with killing the most powerful human dragon hunter, the Emerald Knight. He must kill this powerful dragon hunter to complete the coming-of-age ceremony, not the simple trial he had expected.
Due to the young man's overwhelming strength, the elders sealed his ability to transform into a dragon and provided him with a set of armor and a giant sword. These were the remains of a young hero named Flagg, who challenged a dragon elder and was burned to death.
This young dragon, nicknamed the "Red Miracle," struggled hard but to no avail. He had to transform into a young man named Flagg and venture deep into human territory.
He endured countless hardships, even battling magical wolves in the forest. Just as he finally reached the edge of human territory, he was surrounded by a knight with an emerald-colored bird and his subordinates, who believed he was a spy for the demons.
The young man tried hard to prove he wasn't a spy, but the knight ordered him to be captured alive. He had to use his superior strength to defeat the knight in battle and capture him instead. When he removed the knight's helmet, trying to prove he wasn't a demon spy, he discovered it was a very beautiful human girl.
The young man released the girl, and the young knight finally believed he wasn't a demon spy. However, she demanded that he return to the castle with her. The young man could only reluctantly comply. On the way, they talked, and the young man discovered that the girl was actually the daughter of the most powerful human dragon hunter, the Emerald Knight.
The story then becomes a series of melodramatic events. After the young man was brought back to the castle, the demon army attacked. Relying on his immense strength, the young man repeatedly helped the castle repel the demons and won the love of the Emerald Knight's daughter, the young knight.
Just as their relationship grew more intense, one of the rescue armies, from the Red Tree Kingdom, recognized the armor and weapons the young man was using as those of the Red Tree Kingdom's prince. With the help of a magic-wielding mage, they exposed the young man's identity and used a magic-laced poison to break his seal, transforming him into a red dragon in front of everyone.
After a fierce battle, the young red dragon was subdued and bound. They prepared to kill him and make the highest-grade armor from his body.
By this point, Lu Wenyin had already cried several times, her legs curled up on the sofa, looking pitiful. The young man's indomitable spirit and the destruction of his love were deeply moving.
Ning Yue said nothing, just tightly holding Lu Wenyin's hands. He had experienced countless storms and seen countless stories of joy and sorrow. This melodrama no longer stirred his passion, but he wouldn't ruin the mood by saying anything.
Finally, the young knight could no longer bear the call of love. She secretly freed the young man in the middle of the night. The young man, with no choice, transformed into a red dragon and flew away. The people in the castle soon discovered the young man's escape. The Emerald Knight rode a green divine bird, and several mages controlled magical creatures—some were black smoke, some were strange birds, some were magic carpets. Several powerful warriors also used flying devices, including the general from the Red Tree Kingdom, who used wings woven from countless leaves, to chase the young red dragon.
The young knight couldn't bear to see her father and lover fight. She released the seal on the emerald-colored bird that had always been with her, transforming it into a green divine bird identical to her father's. She followed behind, hoping to persuade both sides not to fight.
Just then, the demon army returned with a vengeance...
