Chapter 43

In fact, the emperor had completely misunderstood Long Yi.

How could Long Yi have thought so much? He admitted he was the best at fighting, but when it came to scheming and plotting, he was the worst! Long Yi just wanted to get a bit of an upper hand in words! Yes, he wanted the emperor to thank him in front of everyone, to thank him for showing mercy! As for the rest, he hadn't thought that much.

As for the emperor's apology and thanks, Long Yi didn't believe it. As the head of the empire's politicians, could the emperor's words be trusted?

Don't be so funny, okay?

And as for showing mercy, Long Yi had indeed done it on purpose. Joking, this was the emperor of the empire. No matter how capable he thought he was, he absolutely couldn't kill the emperor's son in front of the emperor.

Moreover, Long Yi had always thought this way.

Killing someone couldn't be considered revenge; making them live in fear was the most terrifying thing.

Long Yi had used a heavy hand, and even if the Third Prince recovered, he would never regain his strength. In this world, martial power represented everything. The current Third Prince was already a cripple. He might soon lose his position in the struggle for the throne, and then be crushed by the wheels of history, disappearing without a trace.

The Third Prince had already been taken away, so, should they continue fighting?

Everyone looked at each other. The emperor's son had almost been beaten to death; would the emperor have the heart to watch the martial arts competition? But if the emperor didn't have the heart, could it still be called a competition before the emperor?

At this moment, the emperor slowly stood up.

"Today, some people made mistakes, so they paid the price. But it has made me realize that there are such excellent talents hidden in this Dragon Knight Academy. However, I believe that in this Dragon Knight Academy, there is definitely more than one talent! Now, I am here, and I won't go anywhere! I want to see with my own eyes whether you are the most outstanding one!"

The emperor's words immediately set the whole venue ablaze.

This was the demeanor a emperor should have! This was the majesty a ruler should possess!

The martial arts competition before the emperor officially began.

Perhaps because of Long Yi's precedent, or perhaps because they were too close to Elsa, almost all the boys who jumped onto the stage fought with all their might. On the stage, various dazzling lights flickered. The emperor smiled and watched each match carefully.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Who wouldn't fight with all their might!

Until the end of the opening ceremony, there were still people who wanted to get on the stage, but unfortunately, time was running out. In the afternoon, dozens of outstanding Dragon Knight candidates were selected by the five major legions and were immediately awarded the reserve emblem. Those who went on the stage but were not selected looked regretful, thinking they should have performed better. Those who lost but were selected due to some potential were overjoyed and secretly resolved to live up to the emblem on their chest.

At this moment, Long Yi, who had shone brightly before the competition, had already been pulled back to the dormitory.

Click, the dormitory door was locked, and no one was allowed to enter.

Elsa looked at Long Yi, and Long Yi looked at Elsa.

Aileen looked at Long Yi, and Long Yi looked at Aileen.

Then, Elsa pointed to the shiny tight-fitting suit on Aileen's body and said, "I want this."

Long Yi immediately replied, "Okay."

Brother knew what Elsa wanted to do long ago, and he had already prepared. Brother is so smart!

Why did Long Yi disappear for a while? He had run all the way to the Dragon Temple, found the old dragon Thal, and from his knowledge, found a solution.

The difficulty lay in the so-called tight-fitting suit on Aileen's body, which was not a suit at all but a fusion of tiny scales, seamlessly integrated. If it were just a suit sewn from cloth, Elsa would definitely not be interested. In his previous life, various seamless textile technologies would have been enough to solve Long Yi's problem.

But now, he could only seek help from the wise old dragon Thal.

Fortunately, Thal's knowledge was sufficient.

Dragon Scale Armor.

This was one of the many high-tech items of the dragon race. Dragon scales often fell off, and new scales would grow back. But if they suffered serious injuries, the scales would not grow back. The dragon race relied on the hardness of their scales, which were as strong as metal, to resist external forces. Dragon scales were light enough, as strong as metal, and had some resistance to dragon aura and magic. Dragons with dragon scales would never use other protective means.

Therefore, the dragon race invented dragon scale armor. They collected the scales that fell off and inscribed them with mysterious runes. At the same time, they used dragon power to activate them and dragon breath to refine them. These scales would form a special magical creature. These magical creatures would adhere to the body, absorb dragon power to grow, and eventually cover the entire wound area.

The dragon race used it this way, and theoretically, humans could use it this way too.

Elsa got a palm-sized dragon scale from her dragon, Xiao Bai, which was a softer part of the dragon scale. Long Yi didn't know how the dragon scale armor would turn out, and he was afraid that it would make Elsa unable to move, so he used the softer scale.

Long Yi held the dragon scale and stood next to Xiao Bai, inscribing the runes. Elsa and Aileen watched from a distance.

"You, this, was done by Brother Long, right?"

Elsa suddenly spoke, though her words were abrupt and unclear, Aileen still understood.

"Yes, Brother Long can be considered my savior."

At this moment, facing her idol Elsa, Aileen was completely relaxed. For some reason, standing next to Long Yi, she felt full of confidence. She quietly told Elsa everything that had happened since she met Long Yi, including her fusion with Silverlight.

Elsa listened carefully and then nodded, saying,

"Yes, Brother Long has always been like this. As long as someone is around him, he can't help but want to take care of them."

Then, she paused and said,

"My life, my Xiao Bai, and my current strength, were all given to me by Brother Long."

Oh?

Aileen was very curious about Elsa's story, especially when she heard that Elsa's terrifying strength came from Long Yi, her first reaction was disbelief. If that were the case, why wasn't Long Yi himself so strong?

Elsa's next words answered Aileen's doubts.

"Because he gave me his strength, his strength has not yet recovered."

Elsa's gaze was filled with guilt. No one knew about this, but she told Aileen because she saw a part of herself in Aileen. She felt a strange sense of closeness towards Aileen.

Aileen felt the same way. This sense of closeness was very peculiar, as if they had known each other for a long time.

Both of them liked Long Yi not because they received something from him, but because of his personality.

Long Yi just helped others, asking for nothing in return.

At this moment, Long Yi finally completed the inscription of the runes and walked over with the dragon scale that was now glowing.

"Try it."

Long Yi handed the dragon scale to Elsa.

Elsa nodded and took off her evening dress in front of Long Yi.

Aileen immediately felt her face turn red. Was Elsa so unguarded around Long Yi?

Or was she intentionally showing him!

Elsa handed the evening dress to Long Yi, and then took off her underwear, exposing herself completely to Long Yi.

"Does it look good?" Elsa asked softly, her tone calm, and there was no trace of shyness on her face.

"It looks good," Long Yi said honestly. Five years ago, Elsa was just an eleven-year-old girl with no figure to speak of. The changes in the past five years were truly remarkable.

"Then, who looks better?" Elsa asked again, and this time, Aileen's ears perked up.

"Yours are bigger," the honest Long Yi answered truthfully.

To be honest, Long Yi had seen both of them. If it came to who looked better, Aileen and Elsa were absolutely on par. But in terms of development, Elsa was slightly better.

Aileen felt Elsa's gaze on her, and in that gaze, she saw two words!

Won!

Aileen helplessly lowered her head, looking at herself and then at Elsa.

Lost!

Although she was unwilling, she still lost.

Long Yi, of course, didn't know what the two girls were communicating with their eyes. He was now focused on attaching the dragon scale to Elsa's chest.

Should I grab a handful and check?

The honest Long Yi thought to himself.

Would it lead to a hero's sacrifice?

The honest Long Yi felt uncertain.

"I'll give you a reward later."

Elsa suddenly said softly.

Reward!

Could it be! Could it be!! Could it be!!!

Is my spring about to come? Is my lifelong virginity about to end? No, no, no! Elsa isn't that kind of girl, her reward definitely isn't that. Wait, even just touching would be fine! I've never even touched before!

"Don't daydream, focus!"

Elsa glared at Long Yi, and Long Yi immediately became as focused as a monk in meditation.

Finally, everything was ready.

Long Yi held Xiao Bai and stood in front of Elsa.

"Come on, Xiao Bai, it's up to you."

Xiao Bai let out a cry, and immediately, a fine stream of dragon breath spurted out. The scale on Elsa's chest, upon sensing the dragon breath, immediately revealed strange runes, and the entire scale softened and adhered tightly to Elsa's skin.

"Good, now start injecting dragon power."

Long Yi said to Elsa.

Dragon aura and magic were essentially dragon power, so Elsa just needed to inject dragon aura.

Under the dual effects of dragon aura and dragon breath, the dragon scale began to grow slowly, gradually spreading over Elsa's entire body, including her fingertips and toes.

"Now, be careful to control the dragon power, don't do it too fast, or the dragon scale will cover your head..."

Then, Long Yi noticed that he was speaking too slowly. The white had already reached Elsa's neck and showed no signs of stopping. In a moment, it completely covered Elsa's head, even wrapping her long hair inside.

"Can you hear me?" Long Yi asked urgently.

He could see Elsa's mouth move, but no sound came out, so she nodded.

"Can you breathe?"

She shook her head.

"Then, let's give up this scale and start over."

Long Yi didn't have a better solution.

However, at this moment, the white on Elsa's face began to retreat, revealing her face.

"This can be controlled," Elsa said.

So amazing?

After a few more attempts, it was indeed true that the dragon scale armor was completely under Elsa's control!
