"Yeah, we don't know what happened either."
"We were just walking along, and suddenly we'd turned into the Holy Light Dragon and the Dark Holy Dragon."
Xie Xie spoke with unbearable smugness, the corners of his mouth nearly curling up to the heavens. He couldn't hold it back at all.
He was very pleased by Ji Fengyu's stunned reaction.
Seriously, how was this any different from stepping outside and finding a lottery ticket worth a fortune?
Could the heavens really drop a pie right into your lap?
It wasn't just Xie Xie. Even Wang Jinxi, usually a little wooden, was strutting around like a peacock.
Holy Light Dragon! Dark Holy Dragon!
Heh heh, they were the peerless duo, chosen sons of fate.
Though Tang Wulin could still keep them in check, with Ji Fengyu backing them up, they were destined to dominate an entire era!
"Uh, you two had better not get too cocky."
Ji Fengyu's expression grew rather meaningful.
No wonder Long Yeyue had run away. So some hidden big shot had stepped in.
Where some rejoiced, others grieved.
Wang Xie had gained the Twin Holy Dragons of Light and Dark. Long Yeyue must be crying her eyes out.
"Don't cry, don't cry, Sister Yue. I'll get justice for you."
"Tell me what happened."
Sea God Pavilion.
Yun Ming wearily tried to comfort Long Yeyue.
Long Yeyue, a level-99 Limit Douluo and supposedly the number-one person on the Douluo Continent,
had gone to the tiny Eastsea City to investigate some Rainbow,
only to have her powers stripped away!
Who could have seen that coming?
Yun Ming was genuinely at a loss.
Big sister, I know you're unreliable, but you can't be this unreliable.
"Waaah... It... happened like this..."
"Didn't I catch a Rainbow Dragon at the time? I wanted to ask whether it had caused the Rainbow, but then..."
"I seemed to hear a cold snort. A pressure from deep within my bloodline appeared, and then I retreated."
"I never thought the Holy Light Dragon and the Dark Holy Dragon would abandon me!"
Long Yeyue sobbed uncontrollably, bitterly accusing the Holy Light Dragon and the Dark Holy Dragon of being two faithless scoundrels.
She was the number-one person of her generation,
yet both of her top-tier Twin Martial Souls had run off!
Her Martial Souls, Soul Skills, everything was gone. She was now a level-99 blank slate!
A general without an army!
And ever since becoming a general without an army, Long Yeyue had been terribly unlucky. She was the sort who'd choke on water.
She'd reached level 99 as someone blessed with great fortune,
but lately, she could clearly feel her luck fading. It was as if heaven and earth had turned against her.
"Sister Yue, don't cry."
Yun Ming pieced together the information from Long Yeyue's sobs.
"You caught a Rainbow Dragon?"
That must have been Ji Fengyu, number 28 on the Youth Genius Ranking.
"You felt a pressure and immediately retreated?"
Mm, that was very much in keeping with Long Yeyue's cowardly deserter habits.
"The Holy Light Dragon and the Dark Holy Dragon abandoned you?"
Beautifully done!
Did this wretched woman deserve such excellent Martial Souls? They should have left her long ago!
Sigh.
Though the result was a happy one for everyone else, Long Yeyue had still been Shrek's trump card. Losing such a powerful fighter hurt Shrek too.
"Eastsea City."
"I remember Wu Zhangkong is there too. Don't worry, Sister Yue. I'll go there myself and make sure you get justice."
Yun Ming was frustrated inside, but kept up a kind expression as he patiently soothed Long Yeyue.
"Waaah!!!"
The two-hundred-year-old maiden Long Yeyue cried even harder.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha..."
"Brother Ji, let me get all my gloating out in one go."
Xie Xie laughed wildly, until he ran out of strength and stopped.
"I've had my fill. I'm done gloating."
Ahem, ahem.
Only after laughing it all out did Xie Xie finally turn serious.
"Big brother, Teacher Wu told us to keep this secret too. Do you and Teacher Wu know something?"
Wang Jinxi asked curiously.
"We only have a guess."
"Anyway, you two can enjoy it in secret, but don't get too cocky in public."
Ji Fengyu was feeling pretty pleased too.
He'd confirmed it now: as long as you belonged to the Dragon type, even if you were the level-99 Light and Dark Holy Dragon Long Yeyue, you were still a nobody in front of him!
The Wife of the Dragon God would teach you how to be a dragon!
Dare to disrespect your mistress?
Your Dragon God father would make sure you learned what a tyrant was!!!
"Oh, oh, we understand."
With both Wu Zhangkong and Ji Fengyu emphasizing it, Xie Xie and Wang Jinxi nodded, promising to keep the secret to their graves.
"Brother Ji, where did you go with Gu Yue yesterday?"
Tang Wulin asked in a low voice.
He really couldn't stop wondering about it...
"The Spirit Pagoda, the Spirit Ascension Platform. I'll take you there too after the freshman assessment."
Ji Fengyu thought Tang Wulin would make a great partner for duo queue.
His power and attack boosts didn't suit Gu Yue, but they were a perfect match for Tang Wulin.
"Great!"
Tang Wulin brightened at once, a smile finally appearing on his little face.
Grrrroooowl~~
A thunderous rumble sounded at the most inopportune moment from Tang Wulin's stomach, and Ji Fengyu and the others all turned to look.
Tang Wulin felt a little embarrassed.
"I'm in a better mood, so I guess I've got more of an appetite."
Cafeteria.
Tang Wulin was still wolfing down food while Ji Fengyu sat quietly thinking.
Golden Dragon King Tang Wulin,
Holy Light Dragon Xie Xie, Dark Holy Dragon Wang Jinxi,
That made three Power Attack System fighters at once. With his power and attack boosts, they were practically a bulldozer lineup.
"Hmm?"
Ji Fengyu stopped his chopsticks. He seemed to sense a feeling of ingratiation coming from Xie Xie and Wang Jinxi.
Two hidden thoughts passed into his mind.
Holy Light Dragon: "Mistress, we've already possessed your companions. We'd like to redeem ourselves and serve you faithfully!"
Dark Holy Dragon: "Mistress, we've been wronged! Long Yeyue, that stupid woman, acted on her own. We've already abandoned darkness and turned to the light!"
What was this?
The Light and Dark Holy Dragon?
Ji Fengyu was startled. He hadn't expected to be able to communicate with them.
But he wasn't petty.
The Light and Dark Holy Dragon had abandoned darkness and turned to the light, possessing Xie Xie and Wang Jinxi. They were so sensible that he couldn't very well hold it against them.
"Enough. I know this had nothing to do with you."
"Long Yeyue brought this on herself. She didn't deserve you, and it's not too late to see the light."
"I'm going to eat now."
Ji Fengyu made it clear that he wouldn't pursue the matter.
Only then did the Holy Light Dragon and the Dark Holy Dragon breathe a deep sigh of relief before lying dormant inside Wang Xie.
Heaven be praised, their mistress didn't blame them!
Ji Fengyu didn't give the matter of the Light and Dark Holy Dragon another thought. It only strengthened one of his suspicions.
After eating,
the four of them returned to their respective classes.
For a while, Ji Fengyu's life settled into a routine of three places:
classes at school,
leveling up at the Spirit Ascension Platform,
and practicing Golden Wind Power with Tang Wulin in the dormitory.
Ever since realizing Gu Yue wasn't a reliable teammate, he'd started solo queueing,
using his Skin Martial Soul to fight his way through the Spirit Ascension Platform and gradually raise the age of his two Spirit Souls.
After a week of this, the typhoon came and went.
The final match of the Class Promotion Tournament.
Class One: Ji Fengyu, Wang Jinxi, Zhang Yangzi,
against,
Class Five: Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, Xie Xie.
Mm... This was a civil war between the Dragon Clan.
On the arena,
although all six of them stood facing one another, Zhang Yangzi felt completely out of place.
It was as if, the moment the fight began,
he'd be taking on five opponents by himself.
"Ugh, I should've let Xiaofeng take my place."
Zhang Yangzi was on the verge of tears. Something felt off. Was it too late to withdraw and let Wei Xiaofeng take his place?
