Chapter 23

Boom!

The grass was swept up like a carpet by Long Yi's legs, and Long Yi himself transformed into a human cannonball, hurtling straight towards Tang Ze!

Tang Ze was greatly alarmed. Long Yi's speed was actually not inferior to his own! And it was based on the sixth layer of Dragon Aura!

Although surprised, Tang Ze did not dodge. No matter how fast Long Yi was, the sixth layer of Dragon Aura was just that—there was no way it could match the tenth layer of Dragon Aura!

Facing Long Yi, Tang Ze chose to punch directly. Seeing the punch, Long Yi was more than happy to respond, lifting his leg and kicking out.

The two collided, and Long Yi's momentum was abruptly halted, while Tang Ze was kicked back over ten meters!

Tang Ze's chest burned with pain. Although Long Yi's kick only had the sixth layer of Dragon Aura, the sheer brute force was astonishing! Even though Long Yi was visibly incredibly strong, his strength was so great that it could penetrate three layers of Dragon Aura. How strong must he be?

At this moment, Long Yi's calf was also in excruciating pain. Tang Ze's punch had struck his calf, fast and fierce. The tenth layer of Dragon Aura was no joke.

No more chances!

As soon as Tang Ze moved, Long Yi charged without hesitation.

The two began a close-range battle, with no fancy moves and no Dragon Aura techniques, just pure hand-to-hand combat. Soon, Tang Ze realized that in this kind of combat, he was no match for Long Yi! This bastard had terrifying combat experience!

The second-year instructor was not surprised, as he had already heard that in class, Long Yi had once fought a first-year instructor in a live combat. The result was that the first-year instructor, who also had the sixth layer of Dragon Aura, was no match and was forced to use the eighteenth layer of Dragon Aura! Tang Ze, Tang Ze, on the battlefield, victory is the most important. Since you know Dragon Aura techniques, why do you insist on grappling with him?

As if sensing the instructor's thoughts, Tang Ze suddenly launched two powerful punches, then retreated three steps, his Dragon Aura reaching its peak! His fingers of both hands were tightly together, faintly glowing.

"Dragon Wing Slash!"

Both hands slashed downward simultaneously, two white crescent-shaped beams of light speeding towards Long Yi, unstoppable!

"He won."

Almost all the second-year students cheered at this moment, while Wesley and Ailin's eyes dimmed almost simultaneously.

The Dragon Wing Slash was a Dragon Aura technique even stronger than the Dragon Roar Punch. With the tenth layer of Dragon Aura, this was absolutely not an attack Long Yi could withstand!

But they didn't know that Long Yi was almost jumping with joy at this moment!

Finally, it's here, the move I've been waiting for!

Long Yi had always wanted to test how much he, as a giant, differed from the giants in his memories. He had already tested his strength, and now the most important metric was his defense.

Giants have a physique like dragons, so they should have good resistance to Dragon Aura and magic. This time, Long Yi did not dodge; he wanted to see just how strong his body was!

Long Yi has always been this kind of person, in his past life and in this one. In the past, to test the effectiveness of a bulletproof flight suit, he personally wore the experimental suit and underwent human testing. The bulletproof flight suit worked well, but he ended up with a cracked rib. The research institute that tested it on Long Yi almost got flattened by the furious military brass!

Long Yi is the ace of aces. Even if he asked for it, it would never be allowed! He already takes great risks by flying jets and playing with machine guns, and he has the bizarre hobby of dodging missiles in the air, and the despicable habit of using his wings to cut off the wings of other planes.

In short, Long Yi is this kind of person.

And this time, he got his way.

The two Dragon Wing Slashes predictably struck Long Yi's body, the sharpness of the Dragon Aura tearing through his skin, leaving two long bloody gashes on his chest!

At this moment, Tang Ze's transformation into a dragon had reached its limit, the overwhelming aura dissipating as the scales faded. Tang Ze panted heavily, his Dragon Aura almost depleted. Without a dragon to replenish it, the amount of Dragon Aura a human can store is naturally limited. But releasing all his Dragon Aura before the transformation ended, Tang Ze considered it a good performance.

After a few deep breaths, Tang Ze walked towards Long Yi. Long Yi was still in a tense posture, his eyes fixed on Tang Ze.

But Tang Ze knew that with the sixth layer of Dragon Aura, Long Yi had no chance against the tenth layer of Dragon Aura's Dragon Wing Slash. The Dragon Wing Slash should have severed Long Yi's bones and possibly caused internal bleeding. But Tang Ze was determined; he would have the best doctors treat Long Yi and make him follow him loyally.

Tang Ze approached Long Yi, raised his hand, and gently pushed him. In his mind, Long Yi should have fallen straight down. But when he pushed, Long Yi didn't budge. Tang Ze thought it was because Long Yi's muscles were too tense, so he pushed harder, but Long Yi still didn't move! Instantly, Tang Ze's alertness rose!

Almost at the same time, his arm was grabbed.

"Surprised?"

Long Yi tightly gripped Tang Ze's wrist, his eyes fixed on the clearly shocked face of his opponent, a friendly smile on his face.

"You, you're fine?"

Tang Ze stared at Long Yi's wounds, disbelief on his face, even ignoring the pain in his wrist.

"Do I look fine? I'm bleeding all over right now!"

Long Yi gritted his teeth.

Why did he move now? Because it hurt!

The two Dragon Wing Slashes penetrated the skin without resistance but failed to pierce his flesh and bones. Thus, the full force of the two Dragon Wing Slashes was concentrated inside Long Yi's body. It felt like a bunch of miniature blades had been inserted into his veins. If Long Yi weren't a giant, he would probably have bled out.

Of course, if Long Yi were an ordinary person, the two Dragon Wing Slashes would have gone straight through.

The intense pain made Long Yi's body stiff, but it also truly confirmed what he had suspected.

Brother Long is a real man!

Brother Long is tough!

Tang Ze, with one hand restrained, was not without options.

"Long Yi, you are strong, stronger than anyone in the first year, even the second year. But did you notice that I was holding back, letting you have it?"

Tang Ze was stalling for time, calling for his dragon to hurry. He believed that Long Yi was also at his limit, and with brute force, how much damage could he do to him under the dragon's attack?

"You were letting me have it?"

Long Yi laughed loudly. Indeed, he could see that Tang Ze was holding back, but in the eyes of a battle-hardened Long Yi, it was full of flaws. As a dragon knight in the air, Long Yi wouldn't claim to be strong, but on the ground, he really didn't fear anyone. And wasn't Long Yi also holding back?

Seeing Long Yi laugh, Tang Ze suddenly realized that Long Yi also had the talent for Dragon Breath Armor, but he hadn't used it! When it came to holding back, Long Yi probably held back even more!

Damn! Where is my dragon?

Tang Ze turned his head slightly and saw his dragon lying on the ground, covered in black smoke, trembling all over, while on the side, Bajie was arrogantly using his tail to lash the dragon's body.

When did this happen!

Tang Ze knew he had only one choice now.

"I give—"

Just as he started to say "I give," an iron fist landed on his chin.

Tang Ze felt his vision go dark, his body flying into the air, and then he saw the ground rushing towards him.

"A soldier only dies in battle, not in surrender. I do not accept surrender."

This was the last thing Tang Ze heard.

The entire second year was silent. No one could speak, and no one knew what to say. The strongest of the second year, Tang Ze, had used his Dragon Transformation talent and the Dragon Wing Slash with the tenth layer of Dragon Aura, and yet...

He still lost.

At this moment, everyone had a strange thought: Is this person actually a monster?
