Chapter 602: Chapter 479: The Secret of the Light Wing

By now, the battle in the arena had reached a fever pitch, with Ai Lin and the Black Dragon Knight fighting increasingly intensely. Being a Magic Fighter with rich experience in aerial combat, she had a huge edge over the Black Dragon Knight. Even though the opponent seemed stronger in sheer power, combat was all about techniques, raw power wasn’t everything. Especially in Ai Lin’s case, a Magic Fighter whose spells attached to her punches and kicks posed far greater threats than her opponent’s Fighting Aura Techniques.

The Black Dragon Knight was feeling heavy all over, his reaction speed had slowed quite a bit, his vision was dimming and he was struggling to breathe. His back seemed to be itching. These were all the work of cursing spells that Ai Lin had incorporated into her punches and kicks. The Black Dragon Knight was suffering from Ai Lin’s relentless attacks; she had the Thunderstrike spell attached to her fists and the Explosion spell on her legs. Each attack from Ai Lin left the Black Dragon Knight torn and bleeding, dragon scales flying off. His magical defense power had reduced notably.

Theoretically, these artificial ’Fairy Dragons’ were assassins carefully cultivated by the Black Dragon Empire to take down Dragon Knights on the frontline. But now, they were being chased all over the sky by a genuine Dragon Knight! The Black Dragon Knight’s Mount Dragon dared not step in at the moment, fearing it would accidentally hurt its rider with Dragon Breath.

"Okay, you can surrender now. We’ve already collected plenty of information." Tilian suddenly remarked.

The Black Dragon Knight, who was already on his last legs, bellowed, "I surrender!"

Ai Lin was taken aback, but quickly retreated after seeing her name advance in the tournament list. She didn’t trust the Black Dragon Empire folks. For all she knew, they might still resort to self-destruction.

However, Ai Lin’s fear did not come to fruition.

After Ai Lin backed off, the Black Dragon Knight instantly transformed back into his normal form. He was covered in blood, some of it even dripping from his mouth and nose, a testament to how hard-hit he was by Ai Lin’s attack.

"Congratulations!" Long Yi, who was watching from afar, extended his hand to receive Ai Lin with a handshake as she returned, heralding her onto her side.

"Sis-in-law, you were amazing! I knew that idiot from the Black Dragon Empire was no match for you!" Nim rushed up to them, his face beaming with cheerfulness.

"Thank you..." Even though Ai Lin was not entirely comfortable with it, she clearly loved being addressed as ’sis-in-law’.

The next match was Ruosha versus the Black Dragon Knight. In response, Yake, the Emperor of the Black Dragon Empire, dramatically waived his hand and declared, "I forfeit!"

Having said that, he turned and walked away!

Thus ended the tournament for the day.

Looking at Yake’s retreating figure, Long Yi laughed, "Seems like this scumbag is planning on wrapping up the tournament tomorrow."

"With him? No chance! I alone can wipe out all of them!" Ruosha scoffed.

"Let’s see, this guy isn’t giving up." Long Yi said.

"I have a feeling that there’s more to him than meets the eye. The Black Dragon Empire wouldn’t hesitate at anything to enhance their power unlike us." Wesley expressed his concern.

"Hmph, with Brother Long here, nothing can be a serious threat! Get out of the way, all of you! Hahaha! Right, Brother Long!" Nim immediately came running over.

"Absolutely! Hahaha!" Long Yi proudly replied. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

That very night, Long Yi’s team grew significantly larger. During dinnertime, a pair of elf sisters and a pair of War Dragon girls brought meals to Long Yi’s room. Nim was clearly the most enthusiastic one, promptly doing any chores that he could. It even led to Little Zi feeling awkward. Despite Long Yi’s protests, Nim didn’t listen and went on, claiming it was his duty.

This was the first time Long Yi realized how useful his Giant race identity could be. If it weren’t for Little Zi’s presence, he would have never believed that someone could actually pull off such a feat.

After dinner, everyone sat down to discuss the day’s fight. The elf sisters took turns to analyze, although it appeared they had no real opinions of their own. Nevertheless, they listened carefully throughout the meeting. They were quite formidable on their own. If they hadn’t come across the post-outburst Celestial Clan warrior, they could have easily swept the fight. The War dragon sisters who looked almost identical, watched Long Yi’s face all throughout, their expressions full of happiness and admiration as if just looking at him could grant them eternal life, embarrassing Long Yi somewhat in the process.

"Today when we left, I had a clear look at that scoundrel Yake’s expression. He’s definitely got a trump card for tomorrow." Wesley said.

"I believe it. The Black Dragon Empire has been insanely persistent when it comes to developing Dragon Knights. Seeing the Dragon Knights’ subpar performance, they went to the extreme of enhancing them to this degree. Now they’ve created a bunch of artificial ’Fairy Dragons’ too. It looks like the White Dragon Empire is in trouble." the head chef remarked.

"So how strong are these artificial ’Fairy Dragons’, sis-in-law? Could you tell us?" Nim directly asked Ai Lin, who could give the most authoritative answer as she was directly faced with them.

Perhaps having grown accustomed to being addressed as ’sis-in-law’, Ai Lin didn’t flinch this time. She pondered for a second then said, "They have strong individual powers but lack systematic training, especially in aerial combat. However, they have developed some consistent attacking patterns. If all the Dragon Knights of the enemy side can transform into this, the White Dragon Empire could be in trouble."

Long Yi nodded and said, "I must admit, for a jerk like Tilian to come up with this, he’s a real genius. But it appears they have made slow progress. Once we return, we need to specifically prepare against this."

"Brother Long! Let me help too!" Nim immediately volunteered.

"Don’t worry, I definitely need your help," Long Yi said with a smile.

"Brother Long, just order me around. The only thing I fear in this Human Realm is you! I’ll kill any idiot from the Black Dragon Empire that comes my way!" Nim boasted while beating his chest.

As a warrior from the Heaven Realm, although his strength is not that impressive there, it’s no problem for him to bully ordinary Dragon Knights in the Human Realm. Especially being a member of the Celestial Clan, he was born with the ability to fly, making him a master in aerial combat. If they hadn’t encountered the War Dragon, they might have struggled to deal with them.

Everyone discussed for a while, with Wesley adding some fighting tips against the Black Dragon Knights and reminding everyone of some details. They all dispersed, heading back to their rooms. Yet Long Yi, pulling Nim’s shoulder, asked him to stay.

"Come lad, I want to see how your strength works," said Long Yi.

At that moment, a strong sense of mission sprang up in Nim’s heart!

A giant! He’s inspecting my body! Ah! Can you feel this, Mom in Heaven! Your son is about to make history!

Long Yi only saw Nim’s moved expression, but he simply ignored it. He took out the giant’s staff, and the top of the staff emitted a glorious light. The power of the giant surged, completely enveloping Nim.

Feeling the power of the giant, Nim was moved to the point of tears! Oh my God, am I about to become the king of the world?

At this time, Long Yi was examining some facts about the Celestial Clan via the Giant’s tablet.

The power of the Celestial Clan comes from two sources.

The Heart of the Sky and the Wings of the Sky.

The Celestials have two hearts in their chest, one functions like an ordinary heart, maintaining bodily functions. The other generates a constant stream of power. The most common power for Celestials is the Power of Light. The Heart of the Sky, through its peculiar channels, sends the Power of Light to the entire body of the Celestial. Correspondingly, there is no symbiote next to the mitochondria of the Celestial Clan. Therefore, a normal Celestial is unable to convert Dragon Power into Fighting Aura.

However, the Celestial Clan possesses the Wings of the Sky.

The Wings of the Sky are the wings of the Celestial Clan. The feathers on the wings can absorb any power in the surrounding space, including Dragon Power. The Wings of the Sky can convert Dragon Power into Fighting Aura or Mana, giving Celestials the ability to wield Fighting Aura and Mana.

In terms of energy use, Long Yi thinks Celestials are nearly perfect creatures. Moreover, their bodily functions are very robust, not inferior to the Dragon Clan. A race like this ruling the Heaven Realm doesn’t rely on luck alone.

However, Long Yi found something strange on Nim’s Wings of the Sky.

Dense series of small structures were arranged in the cells of the Wings of the Sky, these structures naturally formed a series of Runes. They linked together, forming an extremely stable system, but it was not conducive to energy transfer. Yet, from Long Yi’s perspective, as long as those structures were rotated in the same direction, they would become more stable and could allow Nim to burst forth with an extremely tyrannical force!

What’s happening here?

Long Yi tried to rotate the small structure in a feather, and almost simultaneously all the structures on Nim’s wings rotated! His original red wings instantly turned into red Light Wings!

The energy erupted in an instant, leaving Nim completely dumbfounded. The Light Wings were absorbing energy crazily, and Nim felt that his strength was skyrocketing like never before.

But doesn’t it seem odd! How could I possibly have Light Wings!

It’s the giant! It’s Long Yi! It was him who gave me the Light Wings!

Light Wings are a matter of pride even among the Celestials. Princess Elsa was born with Light Wings, which is why even her name contains the word Light Wing. To evolve Light Wings signifies a Celestial warrior’s transformation from the ordinary to the extraordinary. Every Celestial with Light Wings is revered, and wherever they go, their glowing wings are a symbol of their identity. Nim had also once dreamt of having Light Wings, with them he could leave the side of the emperor and become a hot commodity in any wealthy family.

Now, his dream is once again realized!

The power brought by the Light Wings is astonishing. In the blink of an eye, Nim exceeded the limits allowed by the rules of this world! And it was still strengthening! The immense energy flow lifted Nim’s body, causing him to gradually rise uncontrollably. Nim was basking in a euphoric state, it was so intense he almost suffocated!

Damn it! I’m really suffocating! Nim struggled, kicking his legs in the air. He couldn’t breathe! These Light Wings weren’t obtained through his evolution, but were opened by Long Yi, causing his body to be incompatible with the sudden surge of energy. He almost exploded from the tremendous energy influx!

Oh my God! Is it possible that I’ll be the first to die at the hands of a giant?

Mom! Even so, your son is glorious! (To be continued. If you like this work, I welcome you to vote for recommendations, monthly tickets on qidian.com. Your support is my biggest motivation. For mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
