Leveling Up With My Dragon System-Chapter 70: Opportunity
The tournament continued with more fierce battles, each recruit pushing their boundaries and showcasing their unique strategies. Kai observed them all, his mind racing with thoughts of how to improve his skills and those of his team. It wasn’t just about power anymore; it was about understanding, adapting, and working together as a cohesive unit.
As the final rounds approached, the air grew thick with tension. Kai knew he would soon face his challenge, but he couldn’t ignore the growing dread in his stomach. Would he be able to hold his own against the top-ranked recruits? Would his dragon node be enough to secure victory for Team 12?
The arena grew quiet as the next match was announced. It was Rerna’s turn, her earth node abilities pitted against a Lightning node bearer from Team 9. The room buzzed with anticipation as the two recruits took their positions in the arena.
Rerna’s opponent was swift, their speed and precision with lightning strikes leaving Rerna to rely heavily on her reflexes and earth shields. The ground around them cracked and trembled with each clash of power. The smell of ozone filled the air as bolts of lightning danced just inches from Rerna’s skin, while she retaliated with bursts of rock and soil.
The battle was intense, with neither side giving an inch. Rerna felt the weight of the earth beneath her, drawing strength from the very ground she stood on. She could sense the energy of the arena, the whispers of the earth telling her the weak spots in her opponent’s strategy.
Suddenly, the lightning node bearer made a critical mistake, their next attack was a fraction of a second too slow. Rerna capitalized on this, sending a fissure through the ground that shot up and wrapped around the recruit, trapping them in a cage of rock and soil. With a roar of triumph, she brought the cage down, crushing the lightning node bearer beneath it.
The crowd went wild with applause as Rerna emerged unscathed, dusting herself off. Her teammates cheered their faces a mix of amazement and relief. "Well done, Rerna!" Ake, her team leader exclaimed, slapping her on the back.

"Thanks," she managed to reply through her heavy breaths.
The tournament was nearing its climax, and Kai knew it was only a matter of time before he had to step into the arena. The anticipation was almost unbearable. As he watched Rerna’s victory, he felt his heart racing in his chest. He was the only dragon node bearer, and the expectations were high.
The next match was announced, and Kai’s name boomed through the speakers. The crowd hushed as he walked into the arena, his eyes set on his opponent – a tall, lanky recruit with a smug smile and a glowing yellow aura, a Wind node bearer from Team 5. Kai took a deep breath and centered himself, focusing on the dragon’s whisper that resonated within him.

The whirlwind of wind began to form around the yellow-ranked recruit, his eyes gleaming with the excitement of the fight. Kai felt his heart pound in his chest as he summoned the fiery essence of his dragon node. He knew he had to be swift, as the wind could easily disperse his flames.
The wind bearer dashed towards Kai, leaving a trail of air currents in his wake. Kai anticipated the move and launched a barrage of fireballs. The wind recruit sneered, using his node to redirect the fireballs away from him with a graceful wave of his hand. Kai gritted his teeth, realizing that the fight was going to be more challenging than he thought.
He observed his opponent’s movements, the way the wind swirled around him, looking for patterns. Kai saw an opportunity and took it, charging forward and releasing a thick pillar of fire that shot through the air. The wind recruit, caught off guard, was pushed back by the intense heat and force. The flames danced around Kai as he advanced, his dragon node pulsing with power.
The wind recruit retaliated with a tornado, the force of which could have easily tossed Kai around like a ragdoll. However, Kai had anticipated this and took to the skies on a gust of his fire. He hovered above the tornado, watching as the winds below grew weaker. He knew that if he could maintain his altitude, he could outlast the wind’s power.
But the wind recruit wasn’t going to make it that easy. He began to manipulate the air currents around Kai, trying to bring him back down to the ground. Kai’s eyes narrowed as he felt the heat of his fire start to wane. He knew he had to end this soon or risk exhaustion.
With a roar, Kai sent a blazing stream of fire at the wind recruit, who countered with a tornado aimed directly at him. The two elements clashed in a fiery storm, lighting up the arena in a spectacle of power. The heat was intense, even for Kai, but he held his ground, his dragon node burning brighter than ever.
The wind recruit grew more desperate, his tornado swirling with ferocity as he tried to overwhelm Kai’s fire. Sweat dripped from Kai’s brow, but he remained focused, his eyes never leaving his opponent. He could feel the energy of the dragon coursing through his veins, pushing him to his limits.
The tornado grew larger, threatening to engulf Kai. In a moment of inspiration, Kai directed his fire into the very heart of the tornado, causing it to implode with a deafening boom. The wind recruit stumbled, the force of his power turning against him.
Seizing the opportunity, Kai dove from the sky, his body coated in a fiery aura. He hit the ground with a thunderous crack, the earth beneath him trembling with the impact. He sprinted towards the dazed wind recruit and lunged, his hand transforming into a fist of pure fire.
The wind recruit, barely recovering from the implosion, saw the incoming attack and attempted to dodge it. However, Kai had anticipated this move and curved his trajectory, his fist connecting with the recruit’s chest with a resounding smack. The wind recruit was sent flying back, his yellow aura flickering and fading.
The crowd erupted into a cacophony of cheers and gasps. Kai’s friends watched with bated breath as he stood tall, the flames around him dying down slowly. The wind recruit, struggling to stand, knew that the fight was over. He raised a hand in defeat, acknowledging Kai’s victory.
