X-Dragon Era

Watching the graceful Xin Yun in the field, it was at this very moment that Yi Luo Xiang understood him for the first time... She felt grateful yet immensely regretful. If she had understood earlier, none of this would have happened. Yi Luo Xiang was definitely not just a vase, she was fully capable of resolving any problem herself.

Let us set aside Yi Luo Xiang's sudden enlightenment. On the other side, after hearing Xin Yun's words, Wang Kui was initially stunned before bursting into loud laughter. With laughter still in his voice, Wang Kui defiantly extended his hand, pointing directly at Xin Yun and said, "Stop making excuses. If you're scared to bet, just say it outright. Why bother looking for excuses? What I despise the most is someone like you, so cowardly and incompetent, yet always looking for excuses."

"You!" Upon hearing Wang Kui's words, Xin Yun remained composed, but Yi Luo Xiang couldn't help standing up in anger. This guy was truly insufferable, what did he know? Xin Yun's magnanimity was something beyond his comprehension.

In the field, in the face of the opponent's cursing, Xin Yun smiled faintly and said in a deep voice, "Cowardly? Perhaps... Sometimes, my courage is indeed lacking, but right now, it seems I have nothing to fear. Or do you think... you can make me feel scared? In my eyes, you're nothing more than a disgusting worm."

"Good!" Faced with Xin Yun's assertive remarks, Wang Kui's eyes lit up as he abruptly exclaimed, "Since you're not afraid, then bet with me. Spare me the talk, I don't want to hear your reasons."

"Heh..." With a cold laugh, Xin Yun continued, "Since you are so fond of gambling, I'm willing to oblige. But… let's change the stakes, betting on others is meaningless. If you really have the guts, let's bet our lives. Dare you?"

The last few words were roared by Xin Yun. The massive shout was heard by everyone in the field. If Xin Yun was truly a coward, would he dare to gamble his life against someone? After all, Wang Kui surpassed Xin Yun by a full fourteen stars!

Facing Xin Yun's fierce provocation, Wang Kui was momentarily dumbstruck. Betting lives! It was a wager he had never entertained. As someone with status and position, he always scorned betting lives with others, even if he knew he would win. He would never gamble since he believed his life was infinitely more precious than anyone else's.

Thinking this, Wang Kui sneered arrogantly and said, "What status do you have? You want to bet your life with me? Are you worthy?"

Hearing Wang Kui's words, Xin Yun also sneered, mimicking Wang Kui's tone, "And what status do you have? You want to pursue Yi Luo Xiang, are you worthy? Don't you even look at yourself in the mirror? Do you know what this is called? This is the toad lusting after swan meat. If I were you, I would have already slammed my head to death, not having the face to live in this world. But you, you not only lack shame but also pride yourself on it, completely oblivious of your true nature. Let me tell you... You're just like your dragon, nothing but a heap of stinking, rotten mud!"

"Kid! Are you looking for death?" Enraged by Xin Yun's varied insults, Wang Kui finally lost his temper, his breath heavy with fury as he scolded Xin Yun.

In the face of Wang Kui's outcry, Xin Yun merely shrugged his shoulders and said arrogantly, "So what if I am looking for death? What about it? Let me tell you, if you can't stand me, you'll have to endure it, and if you can't hold it in, you'll just have to hold your breath, you're no match for me."

Listening to Xin Yun's infuriating words, Wang Kui reached his limit and quickly signaled the referee with hand gestures. Xin Yun had already signaled to the referee that they could start at the very beginning.

Seeing that both sides were ready, the referee did not waste words and announced loudly, "All right, both contenders, take note, the match... starts now!"

No sooner had the referee's voice fallen than Wang Kui, unable to contain his anger, steered the Great Mud Dragon toward Xin Yun, wishing he could slap this guy into a specimen.

Unfortunately for him, Xin Yun was alive and breathing, certainly not about to stay put for a slapping. In an instant maneuver, Yinglong's body swiftly dodged, vanishing from the spot, and Wang Kui's vehement pounce hit nothing but air.

The Great Mud Dragon, an Earth Dragon, possessed a pair of huge wings and a robust body with extremely high defense. It was immune to physical attacks and had the ability to absorb and buffer energy attacks, making it very difficult to take real damage.

However, in this world, no dragon is perfect, and the Great Mud Dragon is no different. With its formidable defense, the Great Mud Dragon's attack was passable, but its speed was too low. If the arena wasn't confined, it would have been impossible for it to even touch a hair on Xin Yun.

After an unsuccessful lunge, Wang Kui didn't pause for a moment. With a fierce turn, he instantly locked onto Xin Yun's figure. In a split second... Wang Kui swung his right hand, and two gray-green mud pillars, wailing as they shot out from the shoulders of the Great Mud Dragon, barreled towards Yinglong.

Facing such an attack, how could Xin Yun be frightened? Yinglong flashed and vanished from its spot, reappearing in another direction.

Facing this, Wang Kui seemed to lose all reason. Despite knowing his attacks would miss, he continued to fire repeatedly. His gray-green mud pillars could only hit Yinglong's afterimage, not even grazing a single hair.

After dodging more than ten mud sprays, Xin Yun gritted his teeth. Continuing to dodge like this was not a solution; the mud spray was, in fact, the Great Mud Dragon's Dragon Breath, which could go on all day without exhausting. But the match only lasted ten minutes, and time was pressing!

While contemplating, although Xin Yun had yet to fully grasp the Great Mud Dragon's traits, time waited for no one, and he had to take a risk. As he pondered... Xin Yun gritted his teeth, and as the Great Mud Dragon launched another mud spray, the Shadow Dragon's figure flickered, disappearing on the spot, and reappeared behind the Great Mud Dragon.

"Divine Dragon's Tail Swing!" In midair, accompanied by Xin Yun's sharp command, all of a sudden... Yinglong spun and started to sway, its slender body rippling, and after a whip-like twist, its tail heavily struck the Great Mud Dragon's back.

"Thwack!" Accompanied by the dull sound of impact, the Great Mud Dragon's hefty body was sent flying into the air. Seeing this scene, Xin Yun's eyes gleamed, and with a sweep of Yinglong's wings, its figure vanished, reappearing before the Great Mud Dragon, and with full force, his fist hammered into the falling dragon.

"Dragon Battle in the Wild!" Along with Xin Yun's furious roar, suddenly... Yinglong's powerful, gigantic fist ruthlessly punched through the Great Mud Dragon's chest, its entire right arm buried up to the elbow in the dragon's torso.

"Good!" Yi Luo Xiang shouted excitedly at this scene. Xin Yun's fist was no simple blow; first came the Triple Wave Strike, then the surging Palm Force, and on top of that, three Extreme Yang Golden Needles, ensuring that the destructive power was absolutely immense. Even the crystal six-star Great Mud Dragon couldn't possibly be unscathed.

"Hehehehe..." As Yi Luo Xiang was cheering loudly, a series of gloomy laughter echoed across the field. Startled, everyone turned their gaze to the middle of the arena.

What met their eyes was the Great Mud Dragon still hovering mid-air, a pair of massive wings beating slowly as if the one with the pierced chest wasn't him. He showed not the slightest sign of pain.

As everyone stared in shock, Wang Kui spoke coldly, "Kid, the taste of that punch was really good. You almost blew me up. However... such an attack can't hurt me. Since you haven't injured me, you're in trouble now!"

Along with Wang Kui's voice, all of a sudden... the Great Mud Dragon began to writhe in mid-air, and under everyone's watch, waves of mud flowed across its skin. Following the path of Yinglong's arm that was smashed into its chest, the mud rapidly spread towards Yinglong's body...

"No good!" Seeing this, Xin Yun inwardly cursed and forcefully tried to extract his arm, but the pull was utterly useless. Bound by the thick mud, his entire right arm was tightly ensnared, making it difficult to move even a little bit.

"Die!" Seeing this, Wang Kui shouted excitedly, and all at once... the Great Mud Dragon spread its arms to the limit, and then... its two enormous fists, whooshing through the air, barreled towards Yinglong's head in the middle. All the students seemed to have already envisioned Yinglong's head being crushed instantly, and a piercing uproar filled the air...(To be continued. For more, please visit www.qidian.com.
