Chapter 71: Chapter 61: Dragon Flood Dragon Dao Rhyme Activated, The Divine Youth Riding a Dragon

In this area, Shi Yun, with seven or eight years of experience fighting Demonic Fiends, held an overwhelming advantage over Zhong Ming.

So the fact that Zhong Ming was holding his own came as a complete surprise.

All Zhong Ming could do was sigh in admiration. ’The Dao Rhyme - Flow of Water and the Clear Sound Spring Stone are just too powerful.’

The Clear Sound Spring Stone allowed Bright Mirror Stilled Water - Ripples to remain constantly active in Zhong Ming’s mind, ensuring that none of Shi Yun’s moves or the weaknesses in his Magic Techniques could escape his notice.

Meanwhile, the Dao Rhyme - Flow of Water felt like it was in a league of its own. Shi Yun was indeed the more experienced fighter, and in the heat of battle, his Magic Techniques had landed on Zhong Ming several times.

However, these attacks were all blocked by the currents of water swirling around Zhong Ming.

"BOOM!"

Although each of his strikes sent the water around Zhong Ming splashing everywhere, the scattered droplets also redirected the full force of the blow.

...

"I will not lose!"

The current stalemate was clearly not what Shi Yun wanted to see, especially since he was shouldering his teammates’ expectations. This spurred him to make his attacks even more ferocious.

He was so determined to win that he even resorted to a forbidden technique!

"King Snake Shadow!"

"HUMMM..."

As he roared, a flow of black water merged into his shadow. The next moment, his shadow stood up.

Then, the smoky shadow-figure and Shi Yun’s physical body converged on Zhong Ming in a pincer attack, one from the left and one from the right.

Their combined assault multiplied the pressure on Zhong Ming severalfold!

This explosive burst of power made Qi Hong, Yang Chen, and the others clench their fists nervously.

"That bizarre power... He’s using too much of it. It might worsen his injuries."

This made Lin Shuyu sigh. "It can’t be helped. Zhong Ming is too strong. Ordinary methods are simply not enough to defeat him quickly."

"Thankfully, while that bizarre power is dangerous, it’s also extremely potent. Zhong Ming shouldn’t be able to hold out for long."

...

Shi Yun was unleashing everything he had for the sake of victory, and the black water that seemed capable of corroding anything truly made Zhong Ming wary. However, he had no intention of losing either!

A young man is naturally high-spirited, and Zhong Ming, having just achieved a breakthrough, felt a soaring fighting spirit rise within him.

Like a rising sun filling the world with light, a subterranean river bursting forth into a boundless ocean, a hidden dragon leaping from the abyss with scales and claws flashing...

Fresh from his breakthrough, Zhong Ming felt the exhilaration of a tiger returning to its mountain forest, or a Flood Dragon to the sea.

As the intense battle raged on, this proud and lofty state of mind only grew more active and vigorous.

’With the Dao Rhyme - Flow of Water, I can’t lose!’

’I’ll take first place in the end-of-month assessment too!’

’Now that I’ve comprehended the Dao Rhyme - Flow of Water, I’ll be like a Flood Dragon returning to the sea—completely unrestrained...!’

"ROAR!"

This soaring, almost defiant spirit—a state of mind unique to youth—caused Zhong Ming to once again activate the Dragon Flood Dragon Dao Rhyme.

Or perhaps, this time it wasn’t an accident.

After his breakthrough, all of Zhong Ming’s attention had been focused on the Dao Rhyme - Flow of Water. Because of this, he hadn’t noticed a subtle change in the description of his other Dao Rhyme on his attribute panel.

[Dao Rhyme Dragon Flood (Fragmented) (9.6%)]

That’s right. The progress on Zhong Ming’s Dragon Flood Dragon Dao Rhyme had jumped significantly.

The reason for this was the influence of his Water Dao Rhyme.

Dragon Flood Dragons are the kings of the water, masters of rivers, lakes, and seas. Call the Wind and Summon the Rain is one of their innate Divine Techniques, and moving clouds to create rain is their instinct. Such Flood Dragons have an inseparable connection to water.

Since Zhong Ming had comprehended the Dao Rhyme - Flow of Water, it naturally spurred the growth of his Dao Rhyme Dragon Flood.

And as its progress increased, activating it naturally became much easier.

Therefore, the moment his spirit stirred, the Dragon Flood Dragon Dao Rhyme infused his body.

"HUMMM!"

With the infusion of the Dragon Flood Dragon Dao Rhyme, a majestic aura surged forth from Zhong Ming.

This time, the fusion of dragon and water produced even greater changes around him.

First, the currents swirling around him, which had previously been simple streams of water, now condensed and coalesced into the form of a Flood Dragon.

The Water Flood Dragon coiled around Zhong Ming like a guardian, making him appear even more majestic and giving him the air of a young deity riding a dragon.

This development left Lin Shuyu, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, completely stunned.

"???"

"What is that?"

"He’s already this strong, how can he possibly get even stronger?!"
