Chapter 22

Tang Ze, displaying ten layers of Dragon Aura, was now brimming with confidence. This was his greatest weapon. He was confident that he could defeat Long Yi with a single blow. He could see Long Yi's strength and could sense the defiance hidden beneath his honest face. If Long Yi could become one of my top generals, wouldn't I be like a tiger with wings on the battlefield?

Tang Ze came from a prominent family, and his upbringing had instilled in him the heart of a general. He had always been on the lookout for outstanding individuals, but none had been as unique as Long Yi. Long Yi's performance had stirred a love for talent in Tang Ze. However, the more defiant a person was, the more they needed to be honed. That was why Tang Ze had immediately transformed into his Dragon Form, aiming to win with overwhelming force. He wanted to show Long Yi the gap between them and then seize the opportunity to subdue him.

Tang Ze remembered how his father had subdued several powerful generals in the past.

He, Tang Ze, would also follow in his father's footsteps!

Unfortunately, his well-laid plans met with Long Yi.

Long Yi did not pretend to punch the air to express his disdain; this was a rare opportunity!

Six layers of Aura burst forth, and he charged at Tang Ze like a mad bull, throwing a punch straight at his face!

Whoosh!

The punch sliced through the air, creating a whistling sound. But Tang Ze simply sidestepped, easily dodging Long Yi's iron fist.

Without hesitation, Long Yi spun around and kicked like a whip, aiming at the direction Tang Ze had dodged. Tang Ze let out a light "hmm" as his Dragon Aura flashed, and his body suddenly stopped mid-air, then retreated quickly.

Long Yi had already calculated this, concentrating all his Dragon Aura in his fists.

"Dragon Roar Fist!"

A fierce dragon head roared, and the dragon's breath exploded along with the energy of the Dragon Roar Fist.

Boom!

"Good!"

Seeing Tang Ze engulfed in flames, Wei Sili and Ai Lin both cheered excitedly. Did this mean they had won?

This time, even the second-year instructors were impressed.

In three moves, Long Yi had not wasted a single one. Each move flowed smoothly, with the first two designed to force Tang Ze into the third move!

This third move, the Dragon Roar Fist, was at the peak of the sixth layer of Dragon Aura. Even among the second-year students, few could release such a perfect Dragon Roar Fist!

Unfortunately, he was facing Tang Ze.

Tang Ze with ten layers of Dragon Aura.

Long Yi sighed in frustration as the flames dissipated. In the flames, Tang Ze still maintained a casual posture, his Dragon Aura shield flickering. Neither the dragon's breath nor the Dragon Roar Fist had touched him at all.

"Now, it's my turn."

Tang Ze took a step forward, and in that single step, only a white afterimage was visible. Then, Long Yi's abdomen was struck, and he flew high into the air.

In the sky, Tang Ze's dragon, Ba Jie, roared and spewed a mouthful of dragon's breath.

On the ground, Ba Jie saw this and immediately roared in anger, his eyes turning blood red.

"Roar!"

Boom!

A terrifying burst of dragon's breath exploded from the ground, black smoke and red flames shooting up, reaching the dragon's breath in the sky first and enveloping Long Yi. The dragon's breath in the sky collided with the smoke and flames and was extinguished.

A smoky fireball fell from the sky, sparks flying. That fireball should be Long Yi, right?

This time, everyone's attention was on Ba Jie. They were not intimidated by the powerful dragon's breath but surprised by one thing.

Ba Jie had sprayed the wrong person!

This stupid, fat dragon had sprayed his dragon's breath on his own dragon knight! Although the dragon knight and the dragon have a dragon soul contract, which reduces the damage from dragon's breath, such a fierce burst of dragon's breath hitting the dragon knight directly would likely result in severe injuries, if not death. It would take a long time to recover, and even if the body recovered, what if the psychological trauma prevented him from being a dragon knight again?

Ba Jie, unaware of the implications in the surrounding gazes, thought they were all admiring him. He held his head high, looking proud.

It was over.

Tang Ze suddenly felt a bit bored. Long Yi was an excellent warrior, but unfortunately, this ground dragon was too stupid. That burst of dragon's breath was extremely powerful, and if Ba Jie had attacked earlier, even Tang Ze might not have dared to face it head-on. Now, it had ended in such a way. In Tang Ze's view, even if Long Yi could recover, he would likely be crippled.

Forget it, don't force things.

Tang Ze shook his head and was about to revert from his Dragon Form.

The fireball on the ground suddenly moved, and at the same time, intense coughing came from within.

Along with the coughing, Long Yi's angry shouts could be heard.

"Ba Jie, you fat pig! I went up there to catch that dragon! I could have dodged the dragon's breath, but you suddenly spewed it, almost suffocating me!"

With a booming voice, the fireball exploded, revealing the person inside.

A tall, muscular figure, his body burning with fierce flames, black smoke billowing out. Occasionally, sparks would fly from the flames.

"Is he also in Dragon Form?" people murmured.

"No, that's Dragon Breath Armor!" The second-year instructor immediately recognized it. This was one of the dragon knight's innate abilities, Dragon Breath Armor!

This ability was rare, and even the instructor had only seen it twice. Dragon Breath Armor, as the name suggests, is armor made from dragon's breath. Don't think it's nothing; many things can be used as armor, even a leaf or a piece of dirt, though their strength is zero, they can still be worn to deceive. But dragon's breath is different.

Dragon's breath is the dragon's fastest attack. Dragons have four lungs, two for breathing and two for dragon's breath, filled with two different strange liquids. When a dragon spews dragon's breath, it first takes a deep breath, then the liquids in the dragon's breath lungs turn into mist and are expelled through the mouth. When these two liquids mix, they enter an extremely unstable state. At this point, the dragon uses its dragon power to detonate this unstable compound, creating dragon's breath.

This sounds complex, but for dragons, it's instinct.

Different dragon species have different liquids, but regardless, dragon's breath is a weapon for attack, a mysterious substance mixed with dragon power, whose exact composition even dragons don't know.

So, when people see Dragon Breath Armor, it's like seeing someone wearing a suit made of explosives.

The greatest ability of Dragon Breath Armor is damage reflection. Any attack on the armor will cause the dragon's breath to instinctively explode back. In any battle, no matter how powerful a dragon knight is, they can't always see everything, but with Dragon Breath Armor, even if they miss a glance, it ensures that attackers get a taste of dragon's breath.

Long Yi, now covered in flames and smoke, was not happy. Ba Jie had clearly been too hasty, and the two liquids in the dragon's breath hadn't fully misted before being spewed out, resulting in poor combustion. The thick smoke was somewhat obstructing his vision, but the effect was still impressive.

Tang Ze was even more shocked. Dragon Form was his first innate ability. Only a dragon that had evolved once could grant a dragon knight an innate ability. Was Long Yi's fat dragon, Ba Jie, already evolved? Impossible, my dragon clearly told me it was a young dragon. Although I couldn't identify the species, it was definitely a young dragon!

Could this dragon have given Long Yi this ability as soon as it hatched?

In his shock, Tang Ze didn't rush to attack. He circulated his Dragon Aura and suddenly shook his body. With a loud boom, the Dragon Breath Armor, which was still emitting black smoke, burst into flames. The flames quickly converged, gathering on the top of his helmet, like his hair.

At this moment, everyone saw what the Dragon Breath Armor looked like.

Long Yi was now in a black heavy armor, with spikes at the joints, fully protected from head to toe. Two hollows where his eyes should be were continuously spewing flames, and larger flames shot out from the gaps in the armor as he moved!

"Too cool," Wei Sili muttered, staring at Long Yi's exaggerated Dragon Breath Armor.

Everyone was still in shock, but then something even more shocking happened. The Dragon Breath Armor on Long Yi's body gradually faded and finally disappeared in a burst of flames!

"Shall we start over?"

The honest Long Yi asked with a smile.

Crazy!

Truly crazy!

Too damn crazy!

The second-year students were in an uproar. Even Wei Sili couldn't stand it, silently shouting in his heart.

Bro! Use your Dragon Breath Armor to win now! Don't waste time! Even if you're strong, don't play around! Tang Ze isn't a soft target; he's in Dragon Form with ten layers of Dragon Aura!

Wei Sili thought this, and the second-year students were already shouting.

"Damn it, Big Brother Tang Ze, give this ungrateful brat a taste of his own medicine!"

"Big Brother Tang Ze, go ahead and beat him up! I'll take care of him! I want him to remember who beat him for the rest of his life!"

So vicious?

Long Yi turned and smiled at the crowd, then said, "You don't have to rush. After I finish this match, it's your turn. I promise, you'll have a better time than the previous five."

With these words, the entire second-year class fell silent.

Tang Ze's brows furrowed. This Long Yi had scared the second-year students so much? If I don't win this match beautifully, the entire second-year air force department will never be able to hold their heads up again!

The second-year instructor's eyes narrowed. He had seen Long Yi's performance and also thought he was too arrogant. But what if Long Yi was holding back?

Long Yi certainly wasn't using his full strength! He was a giant, and the power inherited from the giants, he had never used before. He had long wanted to test the strength his giant parents had left him.

What was Ba Jie? A Demon Abyss Dragon! Even in its youth, its dragon's breath could rival most adolescent and even adult dragons in this plane!

If he had used Dragon Breath Armor directly, the battle with Tang Ze would have been a no-brainer!

Having a rare expert, he must make the most of it!

With this thought, Long Yi stopped talking, clenched his fists, and bent his body. In his mind, he silently chanted in Giant language:

"Unleash, Giant Bloodline!"
