Chapter 6

When Long Yi heard that this was the commander of the Third Legion, his expression immediately turned to one of admiration.

The White Dragon Empire's Dragon Knight Legion was divided into two parts.

One was the Royal Dragon Knight Legion, and the other was the Imperial Dragon Knight Legion.

The Royal Dragon Knight Legion, as the name suggests, was directly under the command of the emperor, with no more than thirty members. It also possessed four guardian white dragons, making it incredibly powerful, but it rarely mobilized. Only in the face of extreme danger would the Royal Dragon Knight Legion be deployed.

The Imperial Dragon Knight Legion, on the other hand, was the standing force of the White Dragon Empire, with a total of about three thousand members. Although individually they were not as strong as the Royal Dragon Knight Legion, they excelled in numbers and large-scale combat experience, serving as the backbone of the empire's military.

Among the entire Imperial Dragon Knight Legion, the Third Legion was known for its iron discipline. It was specifically prepared to deal with the most severe wars, having the highest casualty rate among all the dragon knight legions, but also the best treatment.

Long Yi had long heard that the commander of the Third Legion was an ordinary person with no martial arts or mental energy. Now, upon seeing him, it was indeed true. It was said that the commander was once a famous expert, but later, during a war, he was accidentally hit by the mental explosion of an enemy dragon knight, losing all his power. However, without his power, he became even more calm, personally leading every battle and witnessing the Third Legion's repeated victories.

Although he had changed worlds and lifestyles, Long Yi was fundamentally a soldier, and he always admired the best warriors!

"Please let me join the Third Legion!"

Long Yi didn't waste any words, directly asking for a position.

Fansen was initially stunned, then burst into laughter.

"Good, good, good! What a fine young man! You know about my Third Legion and still dare to ask for a position! Fine! Today, I will make the decision. Both the Bonecrusher Squad and the Dawnlight Squad are the best. You can choose to join any of them as a reserve member! They won't dare to complain!"

Upon hearing this, Yahan and Belit looked at Long Yi with hopeful eyes, but Long Yi shook his head.

"I won't join either of them," Long Yi said.

"Why?" The three people opposite him were stunned.

"I want to join both!"

Old Commander Fansen's eyes became serious.

"Boy, do you know what path you are choosing for yourself?"

Long Yi nodded, his smile becoming simple again.

"Old Commander, rest assured. I have been practicing both magic and martial arts since birth, for eighteen years."

Low-key?

No, no, no, Long Yi was already being very low-key.

He didn't tell anyone his biggest secret.

Long Yi was actually a giant.

In his somewhat uncertain memory, the giants were generally over four meters tall, and newborns were at least one meter tall. Long Yi was only slightly larger than a human infant, which was why he was abandoned. According to giant tradition, such underdeveloped "little dwarfs" should be killed. Perhaps his parents couldn't kill their own child, so they quietly left him in the human world.

The giants were a race created by the Dragon God to serve the Dragon God's clan, with a physique similar to dragons, making them incredibly strong. Unlike humans, who need to rely on dragons to obtain dragon energy, giants are born with dragon energy and magic. Moreover, they possess abilities similar to dragons.

Inheritance.

A part of a giant's strength comes from inheritance, while the other part comes from postnatal cultivation.

In the vague memories of Long Yi's inheritance, his mother seemed to be a mage, which was uncommon among giants. The vague memory also suggested that his mother's power was strong enough to rival the dragons. While this might not be accurate, it indicates that Long Yi's magical talent comes from his mother.

Three days after Long Yi's birth, the day he was abandoned, his previous life's memories returned and merged with the giant's inherited memories. He spent just one day understanding his current situation and realized that the only thing he needed to survive in this world was strength, though he had no idea why he was abandoned.

So, he started practicing from the moment he was born.

Of course, Old Commander Fansen definitely didn't believe it; he just found the boy interesting. He was also pleased to have such a promising reserve member.

When Long Yi left, he had two badges in his pocket: one was a broken skull, and the other was a dawnlight. These were the symbols of the Bonecrusher Squad and the Dawnlight Squad. At this point, Long Yi had officially become a reserve member of the famous Third Legion. He could now be counted in the military rolls and receive a monthly salary. When he officially graduated from the Dragon Knight Academy, he could become a full member. Conversely, if he was expelled or failed to graduate three times, he would lose his reserve status, making it extremely difficult to rejoin the Dragon Knight Legion.

Long Yi hummed a tune that no one understood as he slowly walked to his dormitory.

The Royal Dragon Knight Academy was the dedicated training institution for the Imperial Dragon Knight Legion. Now that the commander of the Third Legion had recognized Long Yi, his retest was naturally passed.

The new students' dormitory was located on a mountain outside the academy city, with a pleasant environment by the water.

Long Yi easily found his room.

A flash from the jade ring on his wrist opened the door, revealing a spacious room with two large beds. On one bed, neatly arranged luggage lay, with a silver dragon resting on top.

When Long Yi entered, the little dragon looked at him warily, then glanced at the pig behind him, let out a soft cry, and lazily lay down again.

"Mercury Dragon?"

There were many strange dragon species in this world, and the mercury dragon was undoubtedly one of the more peculiar. An adult mercury dragon was about ten meters long, a small dragon. All its scales were fused together, constantly flowing with its breath. This dragon could completely liquefy itself and take on different shapes. When young, it could only mimic inanimate objects, but when it reached adulthood, it could even mimic humans perfectly.

The mercury dragon was a rare species, similar to ordinary dragons but with a greater fondness for metal. Ordinary families could hardly meet their dietary needs, let alone see them. It seemed that his roommate was quite wealthy.

The room had two bathrooms and toilets. Water sounds came from the bathroom belonging to the other person, indicating that someone was showering. Long Yi didn't bother with it, arranging the luggage he had just received from the academy and lying down on it. Ba Jie, on the other hand, found a corner, grabbed a blanket from Long Yi, threw it into the corner, and lay down on it. The bag full of cow legs had already been blown away, and Ba Jie wouldn't bother to pick it up from the ground.

No matter how hungry, it couldn't be helped.

He was a proud and powerful Abyss Dragon!

Thus, the man and the dragon quickly fell into a deep sleep, exhausted from the days of travel.

After an unknown amount of time, Long Yi suddenly felt someone approaching. He reached out and grabbed the person, turned over, and pinned them to his bed, one hand on their chest and the other fist raised, ready to strike!

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a silver light attacked. Long Yi quickly turned, lifting the person under him as a shield. The silver light, upon hitting the person, did not penetrate but merged with them, instantly transforming into a magnificent silver armor.

At this moment, Long Yi finally woke up. Seeing the scene before him, he realized he might have caused trouble while half-asleep.

"Calm down!"

Long Yi raised his hands high and shouted, startling the other person.

The person's faceplate rose, revealing a pale, slightly panicked face with short gray hair.

"Is this the girls' dormitory?"

Long Yi's first reaction was that he had entered the wrong dormitory. The face before him looked very young, and the person's figure was small, especially with the tight-fitting armor revealing a flat chest. It didn't look like a man at all.

"My name is Ailin, and I am a man!"
