General Skills? A Dragon Lord Who Uses Martial Arts

The Evileye struggled within the enormous dragon claws, its arms pressing against its abdomen, a suffocating pressure and tightness surging through its entire body.

She could almost hear the groans in her ribs.

As Magic Caster, the greatest fear is close contact with enemies, especially powerful Dragon Race.

There's no chance of winning anymore.

The Undead are much less sensitive to pain than the living, but at this moment, the Evileye felt unbearable agony.

It wasn't just the physical pain, but also the grief of being unable to save my comrades!

It's all because of my own "weakness"...

"Ah, ah!"

The Evileye, but no matter how loudly it shouted, it could not break free.

The Crimson Dragon Lord simply grabbed him with its claws, without using any special power.

However, the opponent used some unknown power to seal the Teleportation magic, which is impossible if the opponent does not possess such power.

Whether fleeing or fighting, defeat would not be so easily achieved.

"Shut up, you mortal."

Tang Zheng transformed into the Crimson Dragon Lord, baring his sharp teeth and staring with golden dragon eyes at the Evileye in his claws, his contempt undisguised, yet a hint of contemplation and profundity flashed in his eyes.

The Attribute Panel is not showing any activity.

Still no skill acquisition for [Wild Magic]?

Disappointment rose in Tang Zheng's heart.

If failing to trigger under normal circumstances is considered an accident...

If it still doesn't trigger in the Dragon Lords form, then it's not his problem.

Is there a special nature to "Innate Talent"?

The [Wild Magic] on the body of the Evileye comes from the absorption and storage of "Innate Talent".

The only possibility that he cannot trigger it is one thing— General Skill!

Simply put, this power is similar to the innate abilities and racial skills possessed by some Demi-Human Species races, something Tang Zheng cannot normally acquire.

The Wild Magic "Soulbreaker Breath" stored by the Evileye is already an extension of "Innate Talent" in terms of power construction.

If this is the case...

Tang Zheng had a bit of a headache.

Therefore, he also could not obtain the Wild Magic that the Draconic Queen Deloron used through her "Innate Talent".

Because the Wild Magic used by the Draconic Queen is essentially a form of magic that relies on Innate Talent and is imitated through the sacrifice of souls.

Ultimately!

Similar to the case of the Evileye, this is a general application of "Innate Talent".

In the end, will we still have to make contact with the True Dragon Lord?

Swaying and wobbling~

With one hand supporting himself on the ground and the other gripping the Fel Iron with difficulty, Gagaran struggled to his feet, blood streaming down his forehead. "Put the Shorty down!"

"Cough, cough..."

Lakyus, pale-faced, coughed up blood, gripped the hilt of the demon sword tightly, and staggered to his feet.

"I'm the captain of [Blue Roses], how can I let my comrades face danger alone!"

Fresh blood kept spilling from his mouth, blooming and quickly melting on the armor that emitted a faint Platinum Rank Radiance. The magical item "Virgin Snow" had the ability to clean itself.

"Severe Wound Healing"

The healing light fell upon Gagaran.

Thanks.

Gagaran wiped the blood from his face, grinned, and tilted his thick neck back to look at the Crimson Dragon in the distance, radiating an aura of absolute determination.

"Faced with this monster, no strategy or tactic is of any use... We're afraid we won't be able to go back, Demon Leader."

"Gagaran."

Lakyus raised his head, his long, disheveled golden hair contrasting with his pale face, yet still radiating the charm known as the "Radiance of Life." His blue eyes looked at the unconscious Tina and the other woman, and a weak, radiant smile appeared on his face.

"It's a bit discouraging to say this, but dying together with everyone doesn't seem so bad."

Gagaran paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's my honor, Captain."

The two women looked up at the tall, terrifying Crimson Dragon, Lakyus a calm and Gagaran spirit in the face of death emerged in their eyes.

"As ants, who gave you the audacity to look me in the eye?"

Tang Zheng, gripping the Evileye in one hand, retracted the massive, rugged, crimson dragon wings covering his Body Armament. His imposing figure, over twenty meters tall, coldly surveyed the two below, including Lakyus.

"The only right choice for you ants is to obediently crawl on the ground and beg."

"As the supreme Dragon Lords, not even dust deserves to die by my hand."

Tang Zheng suddenly realized that pretending to speak as the Dragon Lords was indeed troublesome. The Dragon Lords, who considered himself superior and a long-lived being, had an arrogance that was deeply ingrained in his bones.

Continuing to waste time talking to [Blue Roses] and the others was for another purpose. This time, his approach to the group that Evileye was naturally not just for [Wild Magic].

"Dust?"

A bitter smile appeared on Lakyus's face, followed by a surge of heroic spirit rising from his pale cheeks:

"Don't underestimate us, Dragon Lords! This is the courage of humankind!"

"Divine Protection"

"Unyielding Faith"

"Self-Perception"

"Ability Boost"

"Greater Ability Boost"

"Silent Magic Casting Conversion - Increases the strength of all lower- Lower Tier characters"

A series of magical and Martial Arts lights continuously emanated from Lakyus's body.

Not only that,

Six "Floating Swords" flew out and circled around him, the azure "Rose Crown" above his head emitted blue light, the "Virgin Snow" released Platinum Rank and white light, the "Cloak of Rat Speed" flickered, and all the magical items were activated.

"That's right!"

Gagaran roared, "Fear? All I have left is high fighting spirit, Dragon Lords!"

"Limit Breaker"

"Strong Blow Enhancement"

"Greater Strong Blow Enhancement"

"Ability Boost"

"Greater Ability Boost"

"Focus Battle Aura"

Gagaran's skin began to redden, and veins bulged from his neck. The immense power made his already weak body feel like it couldn't hold on any longer.

Under normal circumstances, she can use 4 Martial Arts at once, but by using the Martial Arts "Limit Breaker", she can forcibly use 7 Martial Arts.

One Martial Arts left!

Gagaran gripped the Fel Iron tightly with both hands, channeling his concentrated battle aura into the weapon, causing the entire hammer to be covered with a layer of shimmering white light.

At the same time.

All the magical items, including "Gaze Bane," "Gauntlets of Kerykerion," "Crimson Guardian," "Crimson Top," and "Wing Boost," were activated.

Tang Zheng's golden vertical pupils remained indifferent. He raised his other hand, sparks flying from the sharp claws as they rubbed together. "Oh, the courage of an insect."

With the aid of Martial Arts and magical items, both Lakyus and Gagaran's attack power reached the Hero Realm.

kindness?

Lakyus is stronger; she has already transcended the Hero Realm.

--but!

The gap between the two sides is still nearly 30 levels, not to mention the difference in their professions, which is an insurmountable chasm.

Even when facing Clementine's struggling attacks.

Tang Zheng had a vague feeling about it.

The difference between levels is not just a numerical value; a higher-level opponent will exert an invisible pressure when facing attacks from a lower-level opponent.

He believed it represented a difference in the level of life.

Even if Tang Zheng suppressed his aura!

However, his inherent attribute values will not decrease, especially since Tang Zheng is currently wearing "Body Armament."

The intensity of their attacks may not be as great as the destructive power of "Resist Weakening - Dragon Lightning" used before the Evileye.

Tang Zheng glanced at the charred area on his chest; in fact, the full force of the spell that Evileye had already breached the defenses of his Body Armament.

However, 90% of the damage was negated, and the remaining damage, even if he withstood it, would have no effect on him.

The gap is too large.

Tang Zheng sighed inwardly, even subconsciously ignoring the desperate Lakyus and Gagaran.

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

Two angry roars followed.

Lakyus and Gagaran rushed over, both determined to harm Tang Zheng even at the cost of their lives.

"Etc!"

The panicked cries of the Evileye were directed at no one in particular.

"Darkness born from the spirit of darkness!"

The demonic sword in Lakyus's hand emitted Radiance like the starry night sky, its blade rapidly expanding, and her pink lips roared angrily:

"Control my body, unleash your full power!"

Words brimming with adolescent angst echoed through the forest.

Lakyus, who usually spoke to himself in secret, uttered a plea that was hard to decipher—whether it was expectation or longing.

Normally, the members of [Blue Roses] would laugh at their Demon Leader upon hearing these words, but at this moment, only Lakyus's resolute will remained.

Gagaran charged forward, roaring as he swung his sword high, "Smash!"

The two Shadow Leap and rushed towards them.

Hearing Lakyus's shout.

Tang Zheng's dragon eyes trembled slightly, and he subconsciously drew two thin golden lines into his vision. Could it be that the demonic sword was hiding immense power?

The document version doesn't offer much detailed information.

However, the next moment...

I sensed that attributeless energy fluctuation.

Tang Zheng realized he was overthinking things, so he raised his arm, spread his dragon claws, and pressed forward:

"Invulnerable Fortress."

The surface of the palm, covered with crimson dragon scales, radiated a dazzling luster.

Facing the approaching dragon claws!

Gagaran raised his Fel Iron and swung it down with fluid, torrential force.

Lakyus's expression tightened, and he brought down the swollen magic sword in his hand.

puff--

There was no loud crashing sound.

The attacks from Lakyus and his companion were like stones thrown into the ocean, constantly being neutralized and Dispel the moment they made contact with the dragon's claws.

The moment the attack ended!

Bang! Bang!

Lakyus and Gagaran fell helplessly from the sky, crashing to the ground with a dull thud.

The demonic sword slid and plunged into the ground.

The Fel Iron fell to one side.

"How is this possible..." Lakyus lay trembling on the ground, his lips pale.

Gagaran was even more incredulous. "Martial Arts? How could it be Martial Arts?"

Whoosh--

Tang Zheng's massive figure leaned forward slightly, looking down at the two men who had lost all their strength and collapsed to the ground, continuing to feign arrogance:

"Surprised, you ant?"

Laughter erupted.

"As the most powerful race, most dragons are arrogant and lazy; relying solely on physical strength, we are unmatched."

"However, some intelligent dragons learn certain magic to cope with different battles or their own disadvantages."

"And the Martial Arts used by you humans are something most dragons disdain to learn."

But I'm different--

Tang Zheng revealed his sharp teeth, a faint smile playing on his lips that was hard to decipher—it was hard to tell whether it was mockery or smugness.

"You weak humans can rely on Martial Arts to unleash even greater power."

"Then—as a great Dragon Lords, you should be able to become even stronger by using Martial Arts, and coincidentally, your human Martial Arts are not difficult for me to learn."

Upon hearing this!

The despair in Lakyus and Gagaran's eyes later intensified, as if it came from the depths of hell.

That wasn't despair stemming from a power imbalance!

As they spoke,

Tang Zheng raised his white dragon claw again and swung it towards the two people lying on the ground.

"Etc!"

The Evileye roared in a desperate, almost pleading tone, "You call them ants and me mortals because you want something from me, don't you?"

"Otherwise, given your status, you wouldn't have suddenly attacked us. And that red-robed Magic Caster escaped earlier—I know who he is!"

"Fourfold Slash of Light"

Amidst Tang Zheng Evileye, the dragon's claws swung.

moment.

The five sharp claws seemed to transform into five sharp weapons, and in an instant, each claw turned into four Slash Strike in mid-air.

In a daze!

Twenty enormous Slash Strike appeared out of thin air.

Tang Zheng slightly raised his arm, changing his attack from being aimed at Lakyus and the other man to targeting the jungle in front of him.

Boom!

A piercing explosion, like thunder, suddenly erupted from nowhere. Twenty Slash Strike seemed to shatter the air in front of them, unleashing a fierce and sharp storm.

Bang!

The lush, tall trees ahead were instantly destroyed and turned to dust. The fierce wind swept through, creating a straight shockwave that completely wiped out the jungle dozens of meters ahead.

Wood chips and debris shot into the sky, turning the air a greenish-brown color!

Lakyus and Gagaran stared blankly at the scene.

The air fell silent at that moment.

Tang Zheng exhaled a hot breath, and without the people in front of him seeing him, a hint of excitement appeared in his eyes.

He had experimented in the Abelion Hills and found that using the Dragon Lords's body to unleash Martial Arts Martial Arts was more effective than using them in human form.

It's probably due to passive effects like "Claw Strike, Wings, Enhancement," and its massive size also provides an advantage.

"Unfortunately, I can only use Martial Arts with one arm at the moment."

Tang Zheng thought to himself.

The Dragon Lords's entire body is a weapon; his claw attacks and wings both deal Slash Damage. If these Martial Arts could be unleashed simultaneously, the effect would be unimaginable.

Specialized training is probably required.

In addition, this move can be combined with the [Magic Swordsman]'s "Mana Slash" to unleash long-range Slash Strike; one dragon claw can unleash 20 Slash Strike.

This is far superior to wielding a sword in human form.

"You are very clever, mortal."

Tang Zheng raised the arm that was holding the Evileye and placed it at eye level:

"The Undead are difficult to control and influence. If I kill your companion, I'm afraid I won't be able to easily get answers from you. This is a headache for me."

Seeing that he had just dodged the terrifying attack from Lakyus and the others, and hearing these words, Evileye realized that he had guessed correctly. His painful emotions subsided somewhat, and he breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

"However, before that..."

Tang Zheng manipulated the thick, powerful crimson dragon tail to lift it, slightly turning his body to look behind him at the Goblin horde, who were cowering on the ground in fear, unable to move under the influence of the Dragon Fear.

"A filthy green insect."

The tip of the tail points slightly downwards.

"Smash"

Its thick, powerful crimson tail left a red afterimage as it slammed heavily into the ground, causing the jungle to tremble.

"Tail Hammer - Enhanced" - Deals damage with the Smash attribute. When it strikes the ground, it creates an area-of-effect earthquake and knockback effect.

BOOM!!

The ground where their tails struck seemed to transform into waves on the sea, surging and rushing forward in ever-growing waves, even though tens of thousands of Goblin occupied a relatively large area.

A powerful shockwave spread out, and before a single scream could be heard, tens of thousands of Goblin were turned into mincemeat and then submerged by the surging ground!

Rumble-- Rumble--

A cloud of dust billowed into the sky, sending countless pieces of rock, trees, and other debris flying into the air.

A powerful earthquake enveloped an area within a kilometer radius.

Boom!

The vast jungle below the hill has been reduced to ruins, leaving only uneven, broken ground and fallen trees, forming a new Forest Rift.

Lakyus and his group were above the forest hills, and with Tang Zheng intentionally controlling their direction, they were not greatly affected.

Gagaran coughed up blood again, her head spinning. Staring blankly at the ruins of the jungle in the distance, she felt the limits of human capability.

Lakyus's pink lips parted slightly, her mind blank.

"Your Martial Arts are quite good."

Tang Zheng turned his head back, glanced at Gagaran below, and looked at the Attribute Panel.

[Experience Bar: 7.58 million/1.88 million]

You only got 100,000 Experience Points? On average, a Goblin only provides 10 experience points, maybe even less.

The experience loss after leveling up is indeed getting worse, but thankfully, there is no loss of experience when gaining experience through Angel.

"Tell me, why do you have the aura of Wild Magic on you?" Tang Zheng looked at the Evileye and asked indifferently.
