Chapter 597: Chapter 474: Celestial Clan and Elf

The Black Dragon Knight was overjoyed, instantly raising his Fighting Aura to the extreme! With a loud shout, he merged with his sword and transformed into a streak of light, charging directly at Suolin! Suolin was taken aback at first, then also gave a low shout, rushing towards the Black Dragon Knight.

"I’ve won!" Upon seeing Suolin’s reaction, the Black Dragon Knight felt even more certain of his guess! Without hesitation, he charged straight at his opponent!

However, what greeted him was a dazzling Dragon Breath. Then, his body was torn into several pieces by powerful claws.

"See, you were overthinking." The transformed White Dragon, Suolin, said with a laugh.

On the ground, the upper body of the Black Dragon Knight was struggling extremely hard, trying to pull back the rest of his body to reassemble, for he had such an ability. But would Suolin give him such an opportunity? Despite measuring only ten metres in length – considered a small size among the Dragon Clan – he was an utter behemoth to the Dragon Knights. His claw was raised high, with the tip shimmering with the light of Fighting Aura. It completely shredded the remaining body parts of the Black Dragon Knight, leaving it irreparable.

Damn! There was unexpected error in his judgement! What a careless mistake!

The Black Dragon Knight, looking at the stern-faced Yake, felt helpless and was left without no choice.

It’s okay, losing is better than dying!

"I surren..."

Boom!

Before the Black Dragon Knight could finish his sentence, a pillar of light directly hit his head.

"Huh? Did you say something?" Suolin, descending from the sky, smashed the head of the Black Dragon Knight to pieces and then reverted back to human form, asking in confusion.

A crowd of people in the Black Dragon Empire camp immediately started shouting.

"Foul play!"

"We have already surrendered! And yet he still killed people!"

"Isn’t the Dragon Clan going to kill this rule breaker?"

It has always been the Black Dragon Empire’s Dragon Knights who were killed for breaking rules. Now that Suolin appears to be potentially at fault, these people naturally wasted no time in protesting.

"Suolin did not break any rules." An old dragon, in human form, slowly descended from the sky, his voice calm.

"Why not! We have already surrendered!" In the Black Dragon Empire camp, the man who first started speaking roared.

"No, that player did not surrender."

As the old dragon spoke, the sky suddenly displayed a massive image. The half-bodied Black Dragon Knight was shown shouting loudly.

"I surr..."

The image froze.

"See, he did not surrender, he simply yelled out two nonsense syllables." The old dragon finished speaking, looking at the Black Dragon Empire’s Emperor Yake, "Does this explanation satisfy you?"

Yake frowned deeply, staring at the old dragon in the sky and said coldly: "This is Dragon Island, whether I am satisfied or not, what can I do?"

The old dragon slightly smiled, saying, "We belong to the great Dragon Clan; the judgement is naturally fair. Instead of finding ways to defeat opponents by exploiting the rules, it would be better to strive to surpass them in strength."

After speaking, the old dragon slowly rose into the air, disappearing from sight.

"Damn it!" Yake swore, his body surging with Dragon Power. If this wasn’t Dragon Island, he would have killed that old dragon where he stood.

Long Yi chuckled, looking at the flying Suolin, and gave a thumbs up.

"Beautifully done!" Long Yi praised.

"Thank you..." Being directly praised by Long Yi, Suolin blushed.

At this moment, within the looming castle in the sky. A group of old dragons were in a massive room. This area had a stepped seating arrangement, with a massive image displayed at the forefront. The screen was showing the result of the battle, and even had a replay of the fight.

Currently, everyone was fixated on the replay of the match. The footage was focused on Suolin’s dragon-clawed hand.

"Unsurprisingly, that is Fighting Aura."

The speaker was a councillor of the Dragon Clan, who judging by his attire, seemed to be a researcher.

"A Dragon Clan member possessing Fighting Aura?"

"Isn’t that impossible?"

"Is it a mutant species?"

The councillors looked at each other uncertainly, but the most common emotion on their faces was disbelief.

"From what we understand, Suolin was originally a Chameleon Knight from the Green Dragon Empire. When she was young, she was taken away by the Black Dragon Empire. Her soul was extracted and infused into her chameleon dragon body, and then she underwent surgery and mysterious methods to transform her into a humanoid. Chameleon dragons are not pureblood dragons. While they have been cursed, the excessive mixed blood might have rendered the curse useless."

A councillor of the Dragon Clan spoke up.

"But, at that time, Suolin did not have the ability to transform into a Dragon Clan member. Her body was locked into a human form. However, when Suolin was recaptured by Long Yi, Suolin suddenly gained the ability to transform into a dragon. At the same time, she also gained the ability to utilize Fighting Aura on top of her dragon form. However, as far as we can see, this ability is not highly developed, and Suolin has yet to master the innate magic of the Dragon Clan. We believe that this Fighting Aura-employing ability is still inherited from her humanoid form, rather than an innate ability of the Dragon Clan."

Another councilor added.

"Perhaps, Long Yi has obtained some key knowledge that can restore the Dragon Clan’s power!"

A councillor spoke the shocking words.

"So...." The chairman, Asus, who had been at the forefront all along, suddenly spoke up, looking towards Chairman Gulelie on the side. "Perhaps we can suspend the balance plan for now. Isn’t that so, Chairman Gulelie?"

Gulelie stared at the enormous screen, feeling torn. In fact, the rebalancing plan had nothing to do with personal grievances. He didn’t know Long Yi and had no interest in what Long Yi would do. Even if Long Yi were to destroy the world, it wouldn’t bother him. The only thing he cared about was the reemergence of the Dragon Clan’s power.

There seemed to be some signs of this happening now.

However, it was still not enough to change his plan.

"We’ll have to see whether this Long Yi is worth it," Gulelie said.

Asus’s heart slightly lightened. He had not told anyone that Long Yi was a Giant. In Asus’s view, it was only natural for Long Yi to be capable of removing the curse of the Giants. But if Gulelie were to find out about this, it might just be the spark that ignites the next Dragon-Giant war.

Just as Gulelie, who was usually stubborn, showed signs of wavering, if Asus could seize the moment and say something, perhaps the rebalancing plan would be dropped.

However, Asus was still a bit worried.

The contest was not over yet. If that monster, Yake, fought against Long Yi, what could be done?

The next round was a doubles match.

The elf sisters were to face a pair of Celestial Clan warriors.

Of course, at this point the identities of the Celestial Clan warriors were still a secret.

These were originally the next two matches, but the elf sisters stepped onto the battlefield together, raising their thin swords and addressing a Celestial Clan warrior in the audience.

"Since you two are together, why don’t we settle this in just one match?" they said.

The Celestial Clan warriors were initially confused, but they soon understood. Their identities had already been exposed, and these elf sisters were specifically targeting them! The Celestial Clan had very little knowledge about elves, as was the case with just about every other species in the entire multiverse. Elves had subspecies that could be found on any plane, on any planet. But regardless of the plane or the planet, the elves always maintain a hermit-like lifestyle and rarely interact with other species, preserving their unique culture. At the same time, nearly all sentient beings agreed that dealing with elves was a very difficult task.

But, not understanding them did not equate to fearing them.

Being one of the strongest species in the Heaven Realm, the Celestial Clan had yet to encounter anything that could make them afraid.

The two Celestial Clan warriors, one on the battlefield and one in the stands, simultaneously looked up at the old dragon referee.

The old dragon, acting as if he couldn’t see clearly, didn’t appear to notice anything.

"If both sides agree, then it’s permissible," he replied.

Upon hearing these words, the two Celestial Clan warriors seemed pleased.

"Elves, if you cannot defeat us, please surrender quickly. Otherwise, don’t blame us, brothers, for not showing mercy!" one Celestial Clan warrior said, grinning.

But instead of laughing, the elf sisters stared at the Celestial Clan warriors, swords in hand. Suddenly, they transformed into a dazzling green light and rushed in from two directions!

"What incredible speed!"

The first to exclaim was Wesley. Despite his Observation Technique, the two elves left only a blur in his eyes!

"Clang!"

Two metallic clashes sounded almost simultaneously. The Celestial Clan brothers, smiling and calm, managed to block this sudden attack. Although their power had been suppressed, the Celestial Clan warriors were still peak ten Dragon Mark level, which means they were among the strongest of the Human Realm! What threat could a mere pair of elves pose?

The elves attacked again after failing the first hit. Their bodies strangely reversed course, their four swords slashing together!

"Clang!"

The sound of metal hitting metal was nearly continuous. After this attack, the Celestial Clan warriors looked panicked, as a wound was cut into each of their arms!

"You damned elves! How dare you harm me!"

Finally, the Celestial Clan warriors ceased to underestimate them. Evidently, the power of the elves was not beneath their own!

The Celestial Clan warriors were furious, but the elves did not stop attacking. Their bodies, as if weightless, reversed course on the spot again!

"Swoosh!"

"Clang!"

Once again, they reversed course!

"Clang!"

The elves transformed into a stream of light, sprinting at high speeds. Their sword light forming a storm, their speed got faster and faster! At first, the Celestial Clan warriors could barely defend themselves, but as the elves’ sword angles became more and more tricky, it became difficult to defend. In the blink of an eye, the Celestial Clan warriors were covered in cuts! Some of the wounds were even bone-deep!

"Enough!"

Finally, the Celestial Clan warriors, who had been on the receiving end of the attacks the entire time, snapped. Two instances of the Celestial Clan’s distinctive Power of Light burst forth, and wings appeared on their backs!

"Celestials! They’re actually Celestials!"

Except for Long Yi and his group, nearly everyone screamed in shock.

Humans knew very little about Celestials. Most of their knowledge was limited to the belief that male Celestials were handsome and the females were beautiful, and that they were very powerful. The last recorded incident involving Celestials was when Elsa, Long Yi’s girlfriend, knocked down nine top-notch Black Dragon Empire knights all by herself.

And now, two Celestial warriors had appeared at the same time, notably at the Dragon Clan’s combat tournament, and their opponents were elves.

What happened to the world? Weren’t the Celestials supposed to be invincible? Why were they being pushed around by elves? Was the legend of the Celestial Clan’s strength wrong, or were the elves simply too powerful? (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on qidian.com.
