This isn’t working!

Long Yi could feel that his Dragon Fighting Aura was on the verge of leveling up, but it seemed to lack that little something, just that final touch needed to break through. He had initially thought that the One-Star clown could lend him a hand, and indeed, the clown had pushed his Dragon Fighting Aura. Yet in the end, it still lacked that little something.

Long Yi wanted a stronger opponent.

Throwing out a hundred credits, Long Yi once again set up a battle space. Just like before, he opened the space up for twenty credits per view. He knew some of the crazy masters liked the feeling of being the focus of attention, so he specially set it up this way while making some money on the side. However, this was also risky. If the person who set up the battle space lost, not only would all the credit paid by the viewers be refunded, but they would also have to pay the same amount of credit as compensation to the viewers.

If one’s luck wasn’t good, they might go bankrupt. Hence, general viewers usually set the credit at one, providing a high income but with less risk.

This time, once Long Yi had finished setting up the space, only a handful of people showed up. And his opponent was yet another clown.

A Two-Star clown and judging by the body frame, it was a woman.

Why is he facing clowns today? If he had a fear of clowns, wouldn’t he be scared out of his wits?

"You defeated a One-Star, now I am a Two-Star, I hope you won’t disappoint me."

The Two-Star spoke up, her tone incredibly mild.

"Haha, so it’s a Two-Star! Look at that figure, it’s really amazing!"

"Hehe, I wonder what her face looks like under all that paint."

"Stop fooling around, everyone’s face here is fake!"

The viewing crowd stirred, but Long Yi couldn’t hear any of it.

Actually, Long Yi couldn’t hear anything at all right now. Just a moment ago, the Two-Star had taken out a bell and shook it slightly. Long Yi felt a buzz in his ears and instantly lost his hearing.

Then, the Two-Star took out a pearl which glittered and twinkled. Long Yi’s vision went black and he instantly lost his sight.

Almost at the same time, Long Yi felt a pain in his chest. Without thinking, he lashed out with the Dragon Roar Fist.

Accompanied by the roar of the dragon, the Two-Star, who had been hiding behind Long Yi, retreated hastily, but was still grazed by the Dragon Roar Fist, leaving a small wound on her face!

This surprised the Two-Star, as she had just deprived Long Yi of his sight and hearing, and then created an Avatar behind him, switching herself with the Avatar. The Avatar in front of Long Yi feigned an attack at his chest. Any regular person would reflexively retreat and fall straight into her trap, but Long Yi turned around and lashed out with a Dragon Roar Fist!

If she had stayed in her trap, she certainly would have been hit. But how did he know it was a trap?

"Strange, isn’t it?" Long Yi suddenly spoke up. "Actually, it isn’t strange at all. It took you so much effort to make me deaf and blind, how could crafty people like you come and fight me face-to-face?" Long Yi said, unfortunately, he couldn’t hear his own voice.

"Did you just turn around based on that assumption?" The Two-Star couldn’t believe it, but at this point, Long Yi, having been deprived of his hearing, couldn’t possibly hear her.

Long Yi could feel that near his eyes and ears, there were arrays, the mana condensed there, absorbing the light before his eyes and the vibration of the air around his ears.

A normal Dragon Fighter might really have been helpless, but Long Yi wasn’t a normal Dragon Fighter.

I’m a dual-cultivator!

Magic erupted, charging towards his eyes and ears. Instantly, the two relatively simple arrays were broken directly by Long Yi’s crude outburst of mana.

"Huh?"

The Two-Star was surprised to see that the magic she had just cast had failed! You should know, these could last for at least three minutes! In the battlefield, three minutes were enough for her to defeat an opponent, and yet just now, the array disappeared! The next time she could use it would be tomorrow!

"Sigh, I originally wanted to end this quickly, but it seems I have to resort to this crude battle method."

The Two-Star sighed softly, waving her hands and spoke an incantation in the dragon language.

"Avatar!"

The Dragon Fighting Aura surged, and in an instant, five identical Two-Stars appeared around her!

"Don’t bother trying to find out which is real and which is fake. Every single one here is my Avatar, each possessing my combat power. Sound, image, even the smell are identical. I can also jump between each Avatar. Every time you destroy an Avatar, I will create a new one, until you deplete your Dragon Fighting Aura. So I advise you to surrender."

The Two-Star said so.

You want to outlast me?

She’s overestimating herself.

Long Yi laughed.

He lifted his leg, charged forward, and transformed his fists into dragon heads, aiming at one of the Two-Stars.

Soon, within the private space, the Two-Star appeared.

"I lost." The Two-Star bit her lower lip in what seemed like disbelief, "He drained all my Dragon Fighting Aura. I couldn’t maintain the Avatars and I had to fight him. I couldn’t even block his Dragon Tooth Strangulation move."

"Oh?"

It wasn’t until that moment that the eyes of the Three-Star really took notice.

"Although the layers of your Dragon Fighting Aura aren’t high, your stamina is extremely excellent. He was able to grind down all of your Dragon Fighting Aura, where on earth did this guy come from?"

Three-Star suddenly stood up.

"This time, I go."

Still in the same open space, a fighting arena worth twenty academic credits, this time there are only a few people. The previous contest was too boring, mainly featuring Long Yi ruthlessly hunting down and pummeling all sorts of avatars, exhausting all his Two-Star dragon fighting aura and ultimately conquering the enemy with a single move.

There were no dazzling lights and shadows, no supercilious dialogue, the spectators nearly fell asleep out of boredom. Consequently, this time there were hardly any fools willing to waste study credits on watching a boring game.

Still, those who chose to watch this time were convinced that they would get their money’s worth.

That’s because they spotted Three-Star among the participants.

Among the Jokers, Three-Star is the most powerful but also the least likely to get involved in a fight. He boasted an amazing win rate with a total of 175 wins and 25 losses. Moreover, unlike Long Yi who was obsessed with farming credits, Three-Star only selected strong opponents to face in combat. Outsiders believed that Three-Star truly represented solid strength.

When Long Yi saw Three-Star, he knew that the opponent he had been eager to challenge had finally shown up.

"You..."

As Three-Star was about to speak, Long Yi just raised his hand to stop him from continuing his speech.

"Is there some sort of compulsive need for you Joker guys to be chatterboxes? I can excuse One-Star because he is mad. Two-Star is a woman, so it’s understandable if she talks too much. But as a leader, can’t you fix your bad habit of opening dialogues with opponents? Can’t you just stop showing off for even a moment? Don’t you know that showing off invites punishment?"

The so-called experts, who consider themselves superior, were all sometimes unbearable to Long Yi. Can’t we just have a good and honest fight?

Three-Star couldn’t help but smile. This Anonymous was interesting!

Without any other words, he immediately split into two avatars, attacking Long Yi from the left and the right.

"Good!"

What speed! And power! Despite the annoying makeup, Long Yi couldn’t help but commend the move.

Bang! Bang!

Two muffled thuds, Long Yi’s arms each took a hard hit, causing him to stagger backward several feet.

"Dragon Roar Fist!"

He transformed his fists into the heads of dragons, entangling with both Three-Star avatars. At that moment, Three-Star felt a surprise in his mind as Anonymous’ continuous victories were not merely flukes. His attack was fierce and sharp and he made precise judgments. His lethal moves had been blocked by Anonymous just in time on several occasions. Also, despite the yet ongoing union of assaults from him and his avatar, Anonymous surprisingly found the room to launch a counterattack.

Good, it’s promising. Let me give you some guidance today and then end your victory streak!

A sense of appreciation faintly rose in Three-Star’s heart.

While in the midst of this, Long Yi suddenly took a couple of steps back and completely stopped moving. Thinking it was a trick, Three-Star also froze. Afterward, Long Yi suddenly announced, "I’m sorry, but there’s an emergency on my end. You win this game."

After saying that, Long Yi activated his wrist-ring to put in a surrender request, and then he vanished from the battle space.

Three-Star was taken aback and a corner of his mouth twitched slightly. He declined the surrender request but chose to surrender himself.

"Did you choose to flee because you realized you’re no match for me? Heh, you indeed are an interesting opponent. You didn’t cherish your streak of victories at all. But, I will leave those victories to you. You will have to lose at my hands."

Three-Star was right, Long Yi really didn’t value his streak of victories. In his opinion, the battles in the Dragon God Space were like games, with no risk of death. Hence, how could he possibly find that interesting?

Three-Star somewhat misunderstood Long Yi. It wasn’t because he believed he couldn’t win, but there was indeed an emergency waiting for him in reality.

At this moment, General Kai Long of the Iron Blood Empire stood in front of him, his face as expressionless as a steel mask. When Long Yi’s consciousness returned from the Dragon God Space, he was startled by the general’s face. Then, he saw two emotionless guards behind Kai Long and Ai Lin’s apologetic face.

"Good afternoon, General Kai Long. Didn’t you take a nap?"

Long Yi asked with a smile.

"Sleep is the most wasteful human activity, because we can’t do anything when we sleep. If possible, I would rather not need sleep."

Kai Long replied coldly.

Is he trying to intimidate me?

Long Yi chuckled.

"Then, may I ask, how long did you once stay awake without sleeping, General Kai Long?"

Long Yi asked abruptly.

"Seven days and nights. On the borderline battlefield, against the Blue Dragon Empire, General Bruwerry."

Kai Long answered.

"So, seven days of continuous wakefulness. Did it make your thinking sluggish, were you unable to concentrate, and did you start doubting the correctness of your commands?"

Long Yi asked another question.

Kai Long was taken aback, then stared hard at Long Yi as if trying to see through him.

"See, we are all humans, and we need sleep. Your majority of rivals are also humans, they need sleep as well. Since we all start from the same line, why are you tormenting yourself? Or do you believe that you, as a human, are no match for an enemy general on a fair battlefield?"

Long Yi ignored Kai Long’s penetrating gaze and went on talking. He knew there were some people who wished a day had a thousand hours to use. In Long Yi’s eyes, these people suffered from obsessive-compulsive disorder. They were afraid that while they were eating, sleeping, or going to the toilet, their rivals would surpass them.

Simply put, such people were somewhat crazy.
