Chapter 53

The two quickly arrived at the first-year training ground. The examiner had not yet arrived, and Aileen was standing to one side of the field. Her silver body shimmered in the morning sunlight, drawing the attention of the entire first-year class, who were in the midst of training.

In the Air Force Department, the fat and thin brothers looked at Aileen with red eyes. This was not the red of enemies meeting, but rather the red of fatigue from their recent intense training.

In fact, they had always taken Long Yi as their goal. Although they did not know exactly how strong Long Yi was, they knew he was definitely stronger than them. Every move Long Yi made became their model. When the news came that Long Yi and Aileen were preparing to skip a grade and enter the second year, the two brothers were almost driven mad. Their talents were not low; in fact, in previous years, their talents could be considered excellent. Unfortunately, with Long Yi and Aileen around, they had no room to shine.

However, the two brothers were now very clear in their thoughts. Although the mountain was insurmountable, it gave them a goal. They must move step by step toward the mountain, until they either caught up or were left far behind by Long Yi.

However, Aileen was somewhat distracted. Her eyes were fixed on the entrance of the training ground, fearing that the next person to appear would be the examiner. She hoped Long Yi would be there; as long as he was watching her, she had the confidence to defeat any opponent.

When she saw Long Yi appear, a genuine smile spread across her face.

"Passed?"

Aileen asked cautiously. She knew very well that Long Yi's dragon language was terrible, and passing would require an extraordinary performance.

"Yes, although the process was ridiculous, I still passed."

Long Yi was too lazy to explain the entire process, as it was indeed very ridiculous. However, regardless of the reason, passing was ultimately a good thing.

"Great!"

Aileen jumped up excitedly, genuinely happy for Long Yi, and her own nervousness was completely forgotten.

Wesley looked at Long Yi, then at the excited Aileen, feeling even more uncomfortable. They were too strong, not taking such a small exam seriously. He, on the other hand, had to struggle to stay in the middle or lower ranks of the class.

Not coming here would have been better, but now, Wesley was even more determined to drop out.

Soon, the examiner arrived.

Two people: the first-year Air Force Department instructor and the second-year Air Force Department instructor.

The second-year Air Force Department instructor was the main examiner, while the first-year Air Force Department instructor was the supervisor.

The field was quickly cleared, but the second-year instructor did not look at today's examinee, Aileen. Instead, he stood next to Long Yi. Since Long Yi had defeated the entire second-year Air Force Department, the department had been silent for a while. Then, they all went crazy with various intensified training. These boys, who used to resist training, now trained until they were exhausted every day.

In a sense, they should thank Long Yi.

But, they felt very uncomfortable.

So, today's exam would be particularly strict.

However, when he looked at Aileen, he felt a bit hesitant. Was he really going to attack such a delicate girl?

Suppressing his dragon aura to the seventh level, the second-year instructor said, "The exam begins!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Aileen rushed forward, throwing a punch. Her movements were simple but fierce. After the dragon blood symbiosis, Aileen's explosive power and endurance had continuously improved. Her strength was now much greater than before. The punch almost carried a wind, heading straight for the second-year instructor's face.

The second-year instructor raised his hand to block, but then he remembered: Aileen was a magic warrior!

Her punch couldn't be touched!

It was too late to retreat. He could only desperately protect his face. The moment Aileen's punch touched his arms, magic exploded, and the second-year instructor was pushed back several meters before he could stop.

Dragon warriors were not afraid of aura, but they had a natural fear of magic. Although he avoided most of the explosion, his arms still ached!

Damn! How was he supposed to fight?

If she were a dragon mage, he could just get close and knock her out with a few quick strikes. But this magic warrior fought with close-range attacks, and she was clever enough to avoid contact. If he sent himself to her, he would only be asking for trouble.

After several attempts, the second-year instructor was repeatedly blown back by the magic explosions. He soon realized that at the seventh level of aura, he had no advantage. Moreover, this was a combat test, and he couldn't use combat aura techniques to suppress her.

The second-year instructor felt like crying.

At this moment, the first-year instructor said, "Alright, the same-level test is over. Now, both sides are not allowed to use any aura or magic, and we will test pure combat skills!"

The second-year instructor felt like he had found a lifeline. He even felt a surge of joy.

Without using aura, Aileen, though a genius, had only a few days of combat experience. How could she be a match for the experienced second-year instructor? Soon, Aileen was overwhelmed by a series of fierce attacks and could not retaliate.

Aileen became anxious. She did not want to lose; she wanted to advance to the second year with Long Yi!

The more anxious she became, the more disordered her movements. Her judgment also began to fail. A few times, if the second-year instructor had not held back, his punches would have landed on her face!

This is not the fight I want Long Yi to see!

Aileen felt a bit lost. Was she really a fool?

Aileen's eyes were a bit red.

At this moment, Long Yi suddenly spoke.

"Aileen! Come on! You can do it!"

Aileen was stunned, then looked at Long Yi. The second-year instructor, not expecting Aileen to look away, did not pull back his punch. It hit Aileen's face, and she flew backward.

"Did you do that on purpose?"

Wesley suddenly said.

"Huh? How did you know?"

Long Yi asked nervously.

"Damn, you forgot, I inherited my talent from my dragon. You tried to speak a few times but waited until the examiner punched. How could it not be on purpose?"

Wesley was a bit frustrated. He thought Long Yi and Aileen were so close that he would help Aileen pass, but he didn't expect Long Yi to deliberately sabotage her!

What is he up to?

"Hehe, since you saw it, just keep watching."

At this moment, the second-year instructor was also stunned. Apart from being a bit overconfident at the beginning, he had been very restrained. He did not want to be accused of bullying students, and Aileen was General Kailong's granddaughter. Although the general was fair, he did not have the courage to risk it.

But this punch was too sudden, and Long Yi's words were very sudden and loud. Even he was distracted, and the punch landed solidly!

Why not just declare victory?

The second-year instructor was about to speak.

But Aileen slowly stood up, not only standing but also smiling!

"Don't worry, Brother Long! You've taught me so much! I won't lose!"

Saying this, Aileen rushed forward again, this time with only determination in her eyes, no confusion!

Go all out!

The second-year instructor was shocked to find that this time, Aileen seemed like a different person! Moreover, she began to use her legs more, not just her fists. Each kick carried a wind, and her leg speed was extremely fast. Each strike was followed by another, and the attacks were relentless!

Long Yi watched Aileen's movements and nodded, praising, "I didn't know someone could fight so beautifully even in high heels."

Wesley was dumbfounded. Boss, the key is not here! Are you not worried about Aileen's promotion? Where does your confidence come from?

At first, the second-year instructor was surprised by Aileen's change in attack. But soon, he found that he could no longer block her attacks easily. Gradually, he had to use 60%, 70%, 80% of his strength!

Oh no!

After a fierce round, the second-year instructor suddenly pulled back and raised his hand.

"Stop!"

Aileen stopped, panting and staring at the instructor.

"Cough, Aileen, although your combat skills are not yet proficient, I believe you have the qualifications to advance to the second year. Therefore, as the main examiner, I declare you qualified!"

Saying this, the second-year instructor hurriedly left. As an instructor, being forced to fight a student without aura was too embarrassing! Moreover, he realized that if he did not leave, he might lose!

Where did these freak geniuses come from? One Long Yi was enough, and now there's another Aileen?

"I passed!"

Aileen looked at her trembling hands, panting, and sweat dripped from her forehead, flowing down her silver scales to her feet.

"I passed!"

Aileen ran to Long Yi and jumped into his arms. Long Yi, also happy, hugged Aileen and spun her around a few times before stopping.

In the first-year Air Force Department, the fat brother looked at Long Yi and Aileen, shook his head, and said to the thin brother, "Don't look, it'll blind you."

When Long Yi put Aileen down, her face was red to the roots of her neck. She had instinctively jumped into Long Yi's arms without thinking much, but when he hugged her, she suddenly came to her senses.

She lowered her head, looking at the ground, playing with her fingers, and dared not look up at Long Yi.

"Sorry, I got you hit."

Long Yi said.

"Huh? Oh! It's okay, it's all my fault. I was distracted during the fight, and that punch woke me up."

Aileen touched her slightly swollen cheek, not taking it seriously, and laughed.

"I did it on purpose at that moment," Long Yi said.

"I know, but I know everything Brother Long does is for my good!" Aileen smiled.

Seeing Aileen's trusting face, a sense of guilt suddenly arose.

Am I a bad person? A big bad guy who makes a girl pay for herself? Looking at Aileen's innocent face, Long Yi couldn't help but blame himself.

But no matter what, at least Aileen had successfully advanced.
