Chapter 57

In the second year, students learn basic combat techniques and the basic Dragon Slayer Sword.

Combat techniques were not unfamiliar to Long Yi; he could learn them easily without much thought, even using the vagus nerve in his stomach. However, the use of the Dragon Slayer Sword was something new to him.

After all, Long Yi came from an era of firearms, where the use of cold weapons had become more of a performance and was no longer mainstream.

In aerial combat, dragon knights needed to control their dragons in battle and also use the Dragon Slayer Sword and combat techniques themselves. As the most critical part of aerial combat, Long Yi would not miss any detail. Although he had never learned it before, his natural sensitivity to martial arts allowed him to quickly understand what he lacked.

Aileen was a genius among geniuses. She could learn any knowledge effortlessly, remembering it with just a casual thought. Martial arts were no different! Unfortunately, she was a magic warrior and could not use the Dragon Slayer Sword; she didn't even have a dragon mount. On the battlefield, she had to fight on her own!

Pigsy ran over eagerly and pulled out a Dragon Slayer Sword from his spatial storage for Long Yi. Everyone looked and saw that it was the very sword that the Third Prince had thrown at Long Yi, with the scratch marks from that time still visible on the broad blade.

Everyone's eyes nearly fell out of their sockets.

Long Yi had actually kept the sword! Wasn't he afraid it would weigh him down? This sword was solid evidence of the Third Prince's attack on Long Yi. Although the emperor had not taken any action against Long Yi for the time being, it didn't mean he would never do so. If the emperor ever went mad and saw that Long Yi was still carrying this sword, he might remember the humiliation of that day, and Long Yi's life would be in danger.

However, Long Yi didn't think that much. He only remembered that his stylish and magnificent Frost's Sorrow had been taken by Elsa. Although giving it to Elsa didn't make him heartbroken, he suddenly felt that without that sword, any sword would do.

So, he simply picked up the already damaged sword, cleaned it up a bit, and used it as his Dragon Slayer Sword.

Long Yi learned very seriously, trying to coordinate every muscle in his body with each swing of the sword. He was so serious that even the instructor was surprised. The instructor had originally thought that a genius like Long Yi, a dual-dragon knight, would be arrogant and look down on everything.

But he didn't expect Long Yi to be so serious!

Indeed, his seriousness did not tarnish the name of a genius.

Long Yi had a natural grasp of martial arts, and his body coordination was far superior to most people. The Dragon Slayer Sword had two main uses: chopping and piercing when on a dragon, and sword techniques when fighting between dragon knights, though the latter was content for third or fourth-year students.

However, what if he infused dragon aura into the sword?

Swish!

A sword aura cut through the ground, heading straight for the sword aura stone, leaving a white mark upon impact.

This was sword aura! What a wonderful feeling! Its power far exceeded that of the Dragon Roar Fist! It turned out that combining combat techniques with the Dragon Slayer Sword was so powerful! Long Yi, delighted, swung the Dragon Slayer Sword again, and the sword aura was even more solid this time!

Crack!

The sword aura collided with the sword aura stone, leaving a larger white mark.

The instructor was stunned.

He was certain that Long Yi had not known how to use the Dragon Slayer Sword before, as his movements were clumsy. However, almost as soon as Long Yi mastered the Dragon Slayer Sword, a sword aura appeared!

Was this too much?

Although sword aura was the foundation of Dragon Slayer Sword techniques, no one had taught Long Yi! Moreover, each time Long Yi's sword aura became more perfect, clearly indicating that he had just learned it and was still getting used to it.

This freak! No wonder no one could match him! Not only was he a dual-dragon knight, but who had such a rapid cultivation speed? A dual-dragon knight with such a terrifying cultivation speed, who could be his match?

The instructor turned around to check on Aileen.

At that moment, Aileen was idly propping her cheek, watching Long Yi fight. As a magic warrior, she couldn't use the Dragon Slayer Sword, so she could only daydream during the sword technique class.

Of course, this would soon change, as in the second year, the practical classes for dragon warriors and dragon mages would be taught separately. Aileen had just arrived, and there seemed to be an issue with her course selection, so she would likely join the dragon mage class in the next lesson.

The training session ended, and everyone rested. But Long Yi continued to swing his sword seriously, as learning was one thing, but becoming familiar and making it a part of his instinct was another.

Long Yi's strength was not just due to his talent but also the result of his relentless training over the past eighteen years!

After watching for a while, Rocky suddenly jumped up and shouted, "Report, Instructor! Since Long Yi is so strong, why don't we let him guide us?"

As soon as he said this, a chorus of groans filled the air. Who was Long Yi? A dual-dragon knight! It was one thing not to know before, but now that they knew, who would be foolish enough to come and ask for a beating?

But Rocky had other thoughts. Although dual-dragon knights were powerful, they would eventually tire. Rocky didn't believe that Long Yi could last long enough to wear everyone out.

"Alright."

The instructor agreed, as he also wanted to see how this dual-dragon knight, Long Yi, fought.

Long Yi heard and stopped, planting the Dragon Slayer Sword in the ground. "Come at me all at once."

Rocky smiled. "We can't take advantage of you. How about we take turns to ask for your guidance?"

A relay battle?

This guy was really despicable, but did he think a relay battle could win?

Too naive!

I'm not afraid of a group fight, let alone a relay battle.

Rocky was initially quite pleased with his plan. He knew Long Yi was strong, but no matter how strong a person was, they had their limits. With so many people in the entire Air Force Department, they could wear Long Yi down with a relay battle.

But as time passed, groans and moans filled the air, and Long Yi showed no signs of fatigue!

Damn! Was this freak immune to fatigue?

As the number of people in front of him dwindled, Rocky felt an increasing sense of fear. Especially when Long Yi knocked down each person, he would look at Rocky with a cold smile, as if saying, "Don't worry, it's your turn soon."

Finally, there was no one left in front of Rocky. Behind him, Tang Ze sighed and said, "I'll go."

No matter what, he was the leader of the second year, and he couldn't back down.

However, at that moment, six people walked onto the training ground. Five students and one instructor.

"Magic Department? What are they doing here?"

"Exactly, these bastards don't stay in the shade indoors. What if they get sunburned?"

Dragon warriors and dragon mages had always been at odds. Although both were equally important on the battlefield, dragon mages had always been more socially prestigious and more valued by the empire. Over time, this led to dragon mages looking down on dragon warriors. Moreover, dragon warriors, due to their long-term exposure to enemy dragon warriors, had special defenses against dragon aura but were weak against magic, while dragon mages could cast magic shields to resist both combat techniques and magic skills.

Because of this, despite their inferior physical condition, magic mages often mocked dragon warriors for being weak.

This was even more common in the military, let alone in the academy.

"Magic instructor, it's so rare to see you. Have you and your students applied sunscreen?"

The instructor didn't even bother to use the magic instructor's name, calling him "magic instructor" directly.

"Hehe, Instructor, you don't need it. You're already so dark that you can sneak into the enemy camp at night without being noticed."

The magic instructor was a middle-aged man, but he was thin and looked very effeminate.

No, not looked, but was really very effeminate!

As soon as the six people arrived, the air was filled with a sweet fragrance.

Five students, four girls, and one boy with a delicate face.

Was the Magic Department specifically for cultivating effeminate men?

"Yes, my natural camouflage is convenient, but I wonder if your perfume can knock out the enemy?"

The instructor clearly smelled the fragrance and wrinkled his nose. The training ground was a place for dragon warriors to sweat and bleed, and the fragrance made it seem out of place.

"Hehe, it's better than the stench of sweat here."

The magic instructor even pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket and covered his nose.

Long Yi felt his hair stand on end; these effeminate men were driving him crazy.

"Alright, I don't want to waste time with you. What do you want? Don't delay our training."

The instructor waved his hand irritably, as if shooing them away.

"Actually, it's nothing much. I just heard that Long Yi and Aileen, who disgraced the entire second year, have advanced, so I came to see... Hmm, this big, crude guy must be Long Yi, right? Yes, just as I thought, a guy with all his nutrients in his muscles, enough to deal with you. Wow, this must be Aileen, such a cute girl. Your clothes are so beautiful, where did you buy them? Tell me quickly, I want one too!"

Long Yi looked at the magic instructor in front of him and felt a deep sense of disgust. Long Yi was actually quite open-minded, believing that the world was diverse, and various cultures and people would naturally emerge. Whether someone was good or bad, as long as they lived honestly, Long Yi didn't care. But this person was clearly different.

Long Yi took a few steps to Aileen and blocked the magic instructor's view.

"Long Yi, please step aside. Your body odor is really unbearable."

The magic instructor waved the handkerchief that made Long Yi's scalp tingle, as if trying to drive away the body odor.

Long Yi, the honest man, ignored it, took two steps forward, and looked at the magic instructor sincerely. "Teacher, when I first saw you, I had something I wanted to say to you."

Hearing this, the magic instructor seemed startled, took two steps back, covered his chest with one hand, and asked in surprise, "What is it?"

Long Yi said sincerely, "Teacher, have you ever been told that you are really annoying?"
