Chapter 28: Chapter 24: The So-Called Giant

We won!

We actually won!

Wesley excitedly pulled his Observation Dragon into his arms. He had never seen such a satisfyingly exhilarating fight. Long Yi had defeated the enemy in a domineering and almost unreasonable way, and that enemy was the strongest in the second year!

And at this time, they had only started school less than a month ago!

"Big brother! You are the strongest!!"

Wesley shouted from the bottom of his heart.

Arin had watched the entire fight almost without taking his eyes off, there was nothing in his heart but envy. He yearned for battle, he yearned for being able to have a good fight every moment, even if he lost, he would be willing!

But he did not have Dragon Fighting Aura, did not have magic power, he did not even have the courage to stand in front of Tang Ze.

The ecstasy of Wesley and the dejection of Arin, all were seen by Long Yi. He could basically understand Arin’s feelings at the moment. After learning about Arin’s problem that very day, Long Yi had thought a lot in his mind. The knowledge inherited from the giant is very complicated. It’s like a library, you need to read it bit by bit. As a result, surprisingly Long Yi had found a solution.

But Long Yi did not tell Arin, because though Long Yi would help Arin, he did not think Arin was a qualified warrior. Simply put, Arin was too faint-hearted. If Long Yi helped him, maybe in the future his cowardice might cause big mistakes. If that were the case, it’s better for him to be an ordinary person.

At this point, Long Yi was still standing in place, not because he didn’t want to walk, but because his body was so painful that he couldn’t move.

"Bajie, come help!"

Long Yi called out in his heart.

"Alright, alright, I was wrong, I shouldn’t have scolded you!

Oh yes, yes, I am lard, you are the greatest and noblest!

Yeah, yeah, you are royal, you are too great!

Dream on! I’m a human being, who else would want to help you abyss conquer the world, where does magma all over the map feel good? The barbecue will turn into charcoal, you know!

That’s what I mean, you shouldn’t invade the Human Realm for the sake of delicious food, right?

Alright, alright, when I see your Queen Mother in the future I’m sure to help you, you understand the relationship between us brothers, right?"

After a series of silent bargaining, Bajie finally walked over, picked up Long Yi, and then staggered away. Poor Long Yi was so painful that his face turned purple, but for the sake of maintaining his tall image, he barely held back and didn’t dare to cry out.

You fat lard, just wait, I will settle accounts with you sooner or later!

A battle of the first grade challenging the second grade ended like that, even though Long Yi felt that it was hardly worth remembering. But for the entire Dragon Knight Academy, and even the entire Dragon Knight Legion, it was like throwing a not so small stone into the calm lake.

After all, the sole purpose of the establishment of the Dragon Knight Academy is to supply fresh blood for the Dragon Knight Legion. You know, powerful Dragon Knights are not everywhere, they are truly cultivated little by little from the Academy with the countless resources of the Empire!

At this time, Ya Han, the captain of the Bone Crushing Squad, was sitting together with Bereet, the captain of the Rosy Dawn Squad. The man standing in front of them was the instructor of Long Yi’s first-year class!

Half an hour ago, the instructor came here to report to Ya Han as usual. You should know that the instructor was once a member of the Bone Crushing Squad. As soon as Long Yi enrolled, Ya Han immediately told the instructor to watch Long Yi closely to see if he was a talent.

Since Long Yi enrolled, the instructor’s report not only confirmed that Long Yi is a talent, but rather a troublesome genius!

From the beginning of school to now, Long Yi has fought almost all the top hands of the entire second year, and what’s more, he has crazily won every one of them!

The instructor didn’t see the battle between Long Yi and Tang Ze, but he can imagine. Tang Ze, who is only a second year, has the talent of Transforming Dragon, and also has ten layers of Dragon Fighting Aura. Such formidable strength, yet Long Yi thoroughly exhausted his fighting aura. Not only that, he also directly took the Dragon Wing Slash with his flesh body!

"This kid is really not usually audacious! Even in my day, I wasn’t so audacious, was I?"

Ya Han said with a smile, Long Yi’s approach was indeed very much to his taste. Or rather, the Bone Crushing Legion needs such soldiers!

Fierce! You have to take it to the end!

With that thought, Ya Han turned his head again and chuckled at Bereet, "Little sister, you should stop fighting with me. You’ve seen it too, this boy is an excellent Dragon Knight. His Dragon language is so poor, he might not even be able to conjure a complete spell. He can’t become a Dragon Mage, so you’d better stop competing with me. Don’t bite off more than you can chew."

But Bereet just laughed lightly and said, "Little brother, the Dragon language is just another language. It’s not as complicated as you think. Even if he can’t learn it now, who’s to say he won’t be able to in the future? Signing a contract with the Dragon Clan, he has a lifespan of at least 300 years. If he spends 100 years learning the Dragon language, he still has 200 years to squander."

As she said this, Bereet added, "And if his Dragon language really isn’t up to par, wouldn’t that mean he also couldn’t perform Fighting Aura techniques?"

Bereet wouldn’t back down. Joking aside, if such a promising talent was taken away by Ya Han, how could she justify it to the girls in her legion who adored robust and valiant young men?

Ya Han swung his head and suddenly came up with an idea, "How about this, my girl, I know there’s a young girl in your legion who likes a lad from our legion, but he’s been too shy to say anything. Look, our legions have a pretty good relationship, so why not arrange a time to sort this out and make everyone happy, how about it?"

Bereet snorted disdainfully and said, "I’ve heard about that. But I’ve also heard that five guys from your legion don’t sleep at night and instead, run over to our legion camp to sing love songs. I wonder what Ya Han, the big guy from the legion, is planning."

"What? They went again? Those damned rascals sure are energetic, it seems our usual training isn’t tough enough! I’ll double their workload when we get back! No, triple! I’d like to see who would dare!"

Ya Han was fuming. The instructor beside him broke out in a fine layer of sweat. As someone from the third legion, specifically from the Bone Crushing Dragon Rider Squad, he knew exactly how terrifying this cheerfully-tempered captain could be during training.

The memory sent chills down the instructor’s spine.

The past was too painful to recall.

Bereet successfully provoked Ya Han’s anger. She knew Ya Han’s temper; he was a man of his word and would not tolerate any challenges to his authority. Because of this, the Bone Crushing Squad had become notoriously tough within the third legion. They may not be the strongest, but they undoubtedly had the highest military qualities.

"Let’s stop fighting among ourselves," Bereet began," We can quietly watch this boy grow and see which path he chooses. Isn’t it better to let him decide?"

Ya Han nodded, "I’m just afraid that this lad will want to learn everything and not excel in anything, wasting such excellent talent."

But Bereet shook her head and smiled, "That won’t happen, aren’t we here watching over him?"

Meanwhile, the simple-minded Long Yi was completely oblivious to the fact that a second round of competition for him had begun, because he had decisively been hospitalized. The consequence of using his mortal body to completely block the Dragon Wing Slash manifested the next day. His body was in so much pain that he couldn’t move a single finger. The strength of the tenth level Fighting Aura was fully absorbed by Long Yi. If not for Long Yi’s Giant-like physique, comparable to a Dragon Clan, this move could have torn Long Yi apart.

From the second day onward, Long Yi was groaning in bed. Of course, he wasn’t bored and chanting sutras; rather, he was using the Giant race’s power to heal his body.

During the battle with Tang Ze, one of the reasons Long Yi barely won was that he didn’t use all his strength. Instead, he wanted to take this opportunity to fully unleash the power of being a Giant race.

Ever since he was a child, Long Yi discovered that his strength was unusual. But as a Giant, his strength was not enough. Not until his Dragon Fighting Aura reached a certain level, and his inherited power was unlocked, did he understand that he had been sealed. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Long Yi’s Giant parents sealed his Giant strength, transforming him into a regular human child. However, this seal would gradually be lifted as Long Yi got stronger. According to the original plan, Long Yi should only have been unsealed when he turned thirty. But Long Yi began training when he was a baby, and resultantly, the first seal was lifted by the time he turned eighteen.

According to Long Yi’s understanding, there were a total of three layers to the seal that could be lifted.

The first layer unlocked the Giant bloodline.

Once Long Yi’s bloodline was fully unleashed, his power would see a certain increase, and he would acquire stronger recovery abilities. This includes stamina recovery, Fighting Aura recovery, magic recovery, injury recovery, energy recovery, and so forth.

The second layer unlocked the Giant physique.

Once Long Yi’s bones, muscles and internal organs were completely unsealed, his skeleton would become much harder to withstand the suddenly increased power. At the same time, his muscular strength would greatly enhance and his body could contain more Fighting Aura and magic.

The third layer unlocked the Giant spirit.

Long Yi’s spirit would be fully unleashed, little by little he would acquire a complete Giant inheritance. He would then become a true Giant.

’Except for height.’

Long Yi added in his mind.

As a Giant, he was not even taller than Yao Ming, who was often referred to as a ’little Giant’. This irritated Long Yi, though of course, his strength was much greater than Yao Ming’s.

After unleashing the Giant bloodline, Long Yi gained an almost monstrous recovery ability. He hummed for three days and was immediately discharged from the hospital. He felt if he continued to lie there, he might soon start growing mushrooms.
