Ace Dragon Rider
Chapter 621 - 493: This Is Your Demand
Almost simultaneously, Long Yi had also received the information!
"Come, Alpha, I don’t know if you’re as great as people proclaim. However, if you want me to acknowledge you, I’m afraid you’ll have to do it with your strength!"
Of course, Alpha did not understand what Long Yi said, he was just a projection. But when all data recovered, Long Yi realized that he was not as relaxed as before. Alpha’s speed was not fast, but each of his moves carried a pressure. Especially his follow-up moves were continuous, often using a series of earlier moves to create opportunities for his deadliest strike!
Bang!
A punch hit Long Yi square in the forehead, causing Long Yi’s vision to go dark.
"Splendid!" Long Yi exclaimed genuinely. His earlier mistake was purely his own, and Alpha had led him into making it!
Long Yi had not encountered someone who could lead him into making mistakes in combat for quite some time.
"Whether you can beat me or not, based on that punch alone, I acknowledge your power." Long Yi shook his head, laughed, and said, "Now, let me show you my fist!"
Defense was never Long Yi’s forte.
Attack! Always relentless attacks! This was the real Long Yi!
When the opponent returned to a normal attack rhythm, Long Yi naturally stopped using the Giant Ring. This was a fair battle.
Compared to most of the opponents Long Yi had faced before, Alpha had a surprisingly high level of execution. Each of his punches and kicks had a purpose. Fighting him was like playing against a chess master, always trying to trap you with his every move. Long Yi was facing such an opponent for the first time, he had to be cautious and tread carefully. It could be said that in his two lifetimes, this was the first time he had seen such an opponent that needed to be treated so cautiously!
He might not be very powerful, but his incredible psychological manipulation ability was really difficult for Long Yi to defend against.
He took a few punches, but Long Yi felt that these punches were worth taking because he really verified a series of his ideas, that is, figuring out how the opponent used his fists and feet to lead him. However, when Long Yi figured it all out, he felt a bit sighing and helpless. Clearly, this person was not a real person, but something like a preset program. Although he could imitate Alpha’s fighting style, he couldn’t precisely do it like him. This meant he was precise but lacked variables, and lacking variables meant that Long Yi could find his flaws.
Long Yi looked at the golden armored man in front of him and said softly:
"I regret that I was not born in the same era as you. I don’t know how you did it, I don’t even know where you come from, but I’m sure that if it was you in person, maybe I wouldn’t be a match for you. But now, I win!"
As a person who also has a high level of execution, once Long Yi found the opponent’s weakness, it’s impossible for him to be suppressed. Therefore, a fierce counterattack began. Clearly, as a projection, Alpha was not adapted to Long Yi’s sudden change, and soon, Long Yi’s attack achieved enough effectiveness. Alpha was continuously injured, and in the end, the golden-armored warrior disappeared from the arena as a result of a direct hit to the head by Long Yi.
Nobody expected this result. Not only the audience didn’t expect it, even the old dragons never thought of it!
This Long Yi is surprisingly strong! Even the combat techniques left by Alpha cannot defeat him!
Gulelie’s eyes bulged, he never thought Long Yi would actually win! Not only did he win, but he also won so beautifully! But this means that the Dragon Clan has to keep their promise now!
With a loud bang, everyone returned to the real world. Compared to the previous battle between Long Yi and Yake, this battle seemed more mundane. But, this fight, beyond the splendid magic and fighting aura, was the most fundamental fight!
And this fight came from a human! Without any trickery, without any external force, without any dragon, without any followers.
All there was two people demonstrating their perfect combat skills!
Everyone was reminiscing about the fight, some primitive things surfaced in their hearts. Although they still didn’t understand what these were, some things had sprouted.
"Ding! Ding! Ding!"
The ringing bell echoed in the sky, signifying the birth of the champion. According to the Dragon Clan’s agreement, Long Yi will have the qualification to make a wish to the Dragon Clan. And the Dragon Clan will fulfill any wishes for Long Yi!
At this time, people’s eyes turned more towards the Black Dragon Empire. Because once Long Yi made a wish, there’s a high chance that there was only one wish!
To destroy the Black Dragon Empire!
Soon, in the sky above, two people slowly descended. They sat on plain and unadorned chairs, their faces extremely aged. One was extremely solemn, the other kind.
"Champion Long Yi, as per the agreement, you can make any request to the Dragon Clan. I—Chairman of the Dragon Clan, Asus, and the councilor Gulelie by my side will ensure that any of your requests will be satisfied!"
The chairman of the Dragon Clan! The actual controller of the Dragon Clan congress! The two highest-ranking individuals within the Dragon Clan! They turned out to be these two old men!
"Come on, make your request! Any request! There’s nothing great about the Dragon Clan that can’t satisfy you! Whether it’s endless wealth or destroying your enemies, the Dragon Clan can meet all your needs!" Gulelie spoke loudly, and the terrifying mana vibrations even caused the world to tremble.
"Really can make any wish?" Long Yi smiled.
"Yes!"
Said Asus.
This time, even Yake couldn’t help but be tense.
He watched the recent fight from start to finish. He knew that if it were him, he would not have stood a chance. If you take out the Fighting Aura and Mana, Yake’s own strength could be utterly disregarded! Not just Yake, pretty much anyone in this world would be at a similar disadvantage, the only exception was Long Yi, the freakish individual with such terrifying combat prowess!
Long Yi actually won! And it seemed almost effortlessly! Though Yake could not understand the intricacies of the fighting techniques, a win was a win for Long Yi!
Damn it, these clueless creatures of the Dragon Clan, couldn’t they use a stronger, more powerful method to defeat Long Yi?!
What to do now?!
What to do?!
Yake’s eyes widened in vexation as he stared at Long Yi, who was looking right back at him with a smile on his face.
"I would like to discuss my wish privately with you. Would you agree?" Long Yi asked.
"Yes!"
Gulelie pointed to Long Yi and the rock beneath him rose, bringing Long Yi closer, yet a bit lower. Asus, however, was sent flying far away. After all, this was a private conversation.
At this point, everyone only saw Long Yi speaking, but nobody knew what he was saying. Long Yi’s lips were barely moving, and no one who was close enough was able to lip-read effectively.
"Is this what you want?" Gulelie looked at Long Yi in surprise. Even the Dragon Clan councilors had never seen Gulelie express such astonishment.
"Yes, this is what I want." Long Yi said.
"Mr. Long Yi, this isn’t our first meeting, so allow me to gently remind you that you are free to be more excessive with your demands, for example...." Gulelie indicated towards the Black Dragon Empire with his eyes.
"No, actually, I like a challenge. If the Black Dragon Empire falls so abruptly, as a battle enthusiast, I will be very bored." Long Yi said with a beaming smile.
Gulelie suddenly burst out laughing, "Ha ha ha! Well, well, well! I underestimated your ambition! Long Yi, oh, Long Yi! Since you’ve said so, I swear from this day on, I, Gulelie, will agree to your proposal; all members of the Dragon Clan on Dragon Island will do their utmost to fulfill your request!"
The crowd below was in shock after hearing this. What did Long Yi say? Is he really going to destroy the entire Black Dragon Empire? Yake didn’t have a heart, his body was wholly reliant on machinery, but he still felt dizzy! Was the Black Dragon Empire really about to be eradicated?!
At this moment, Gulelie began speaking.
"This year’s Dragon Clan Grand Tournament now concludes. Later, our Dragon Clan warriors will escort you all off of Dragon Island. Farewell, great warriors!"
It’s over?
Just like that?
It’s safe now?
Or will the real trouble only start once they’re back home?
Long Yi, who slowly landed from mid-air, far away from Yake, smiled and said, "Have yourself a shower and prepare for death."
It’s over!
In an instant, Yake felt the world around him go dark! Long Yi must have requested the Dragon Clan to take up arms against the Black Dragon Empire! Not now, but once he’s back in the Black Dragon Empire! Like he once said, he will leave no stone unturned in the Black Dragon Empire!
"Your Highness, please calm down, things may not be as they seem." Tilian’s voice suddenly rang in his ear. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
"What?" Yake felt blurry in his vision!
"If Long Yi really said he was going to destroy the Black Dragon Empire, given his character, he certainly wouldn’t say it privately to the Dragon Clan Chairman. Instead, he would have said it loudly for everyone to hear, and would ensure that we all fall into a state of panic. He would let the world know that the Dragon Clan would be on his side. But he did not do so, he spoke privately, which means there are other matters more important to Long Yi than destroying us. However, he does not want us to know them. He wants us to be afraid and realize our powerlessness at the same time!" Tilian analyzed.
Yake listened to Tilian’s analysis, which seemed very reasonable, but he could not be at ease no matter what.
Those were millions of Giant Dragons! Once they fly over the Black Dragon Empire, it would be dark as night! The Empire would be wiped off the map, disappearing from history!
"Anyway, we don’t have to worry too much for now. We just need to get out of here firstly and prepare secretly. If the Dragon Clan really appears, we will leave the Empire and hide within the borders of the Blue Dragon Empire. However, if this is a hoax, there is naturally nothing to worry about. The most important thing now is to get your new body as soon as possible. Once you have that body, even if the Dragon Clan destroys the Black Dragon Empire, you have nothing to worry about."
Tilian whispered.
Yake closed his eyes without saying a word. At this point, he no longer cared what Tilian said, he just wanted to get back home as soon as possible. Whether he lives or dies is in the hands of fate!
