Dragon of Destiny

Beast Horn Arena.

A flash of swordlight streaked past. Yuan Power surged in every direction, and smoke billowed.

Then everyone saw a figure fly backward like a kite with its strings cut, before crashing heavily to the ground and spewing a mouthful of bright red blood.

"Lin Dong..."

When everyone's gaze fell on the face of the person lying on the ground, the entire arena fell silent in an instant. The faces of the Lin Clan members also turned worried.

The warm winter sun shone over Beast Horn Arena. Everyone looked toward the youth on the stone platform, each with different thoughts in mind.

At that moment, Lin Ge stood motionless with his eyes tightly shut for some reason. His expression was grave, as though he were enduring something painful.

No one knew that Lin Ge was struggling against this world.

After Lin Ge defeated Lin Dong, a surging aura rose from Lin Dong and soared into the sky, transforming into a colossal dragon that blotted out the sun.

No one else could see the dragon. Only Lin Ge, who was caught up in it, could see it—and he saw it with his soul.

"You do not belong in this world. Leave at once!"

The colossal dragon gazed coldly at Lin Ge and spoke without the slightest emotion.

Facing the dragon, Lin Ge's soul couldn't help trembling. He could clearly feel the world rejecting him, his soul gradually fading away.

"Just because I defeated the Dragon of Destiny, this world is going to reject me? I refuse to accept it!"

Enduring the stabbing pain of his soul being torn away, Lin Ge summoned every last bit of his strength and roared at the dragon.

Lin Ge had never imagined that defeating Lin Dong would cause the world to reject him. It was nothing like what happened in those novels.

If he could have another chance, he certainly wouldn't have done this. But there was no such thing as a regret pill, so all he could do was fight the world's rejection with sheer willpower!

"You never belonged in this world, yet you still lived to the age of fourteen. That was the mercy of Heaven and Earth. But now you wish to overturn a fate that was arranged long ago. That can never be permitted, so you must leave."

Lin Ge's roar did nothing to change the dragon's expression. Even its voice remained unchanged.

"A fate arranged long ago?"

The dragon's words made Lin Ge suddenly fall silent. He couldn't help recalling the story that lay ahead.

The dragon's words still echoed in his ears. As he thought back on the more than ten years he had lived, he began to understand.

Until today, he had cultivated alone, tirelessly striving toward the ambition he held in his heart.

And because of that, he had never affected the course of this world or changed the fate originally laid out for anyone in it.

But today, his actions had not only changed how all of Green Sun Town viewed the Lin Clan; they had also indirectly changed Lin Dong's fate.

This world had the power to repair itself. Anyone or anything that influenced the course of the world would be forcibly erased by it. Now Lin Ge was facing exactly that peril.

"My fate is mine to decide, not Heaven's. Let's see if I die here today!"

Now that he understood everything, Lin Ge grew even calmer, and a surge of boldness rose within him.

What had happened could not be undone; he could only face it. The world could not reject him forever, either. As long as he survived this ordeal, Heaven and Earth would acknowledge him, and he would truly become a part of this world.

"You are unusual, and foolish."

The dragon slowly shifted its enormous body, looking down at the youth before it as it spoke coldly.

"This isn't foolishness. It's finding the courage to fight the entire world because I have no choice if I want to survive."

Lin Ge's voice was soft, but the dragon heard in it his desperate wish to live.

Yes. When all was said and done, Lin Ge was only a boy in his early teens. With an open road stretching before him, how could he be willing to perish here?

"Roar!"

The dragon's roar nearly tore Lin Ge to pieces, but he endured through sheer determination to survive.

"If you can withstand this, Heaven and Earth will acknowledge you. But if you cannot, you will be reduced to nothing!"

As the words fell, the dragon began to move. It moved slowly, but with every step, Lin Ge felt an immense pressure that left him unable to breathe.

"Come on!"

Lin Ge managed to force out those two words. Fearless, he charged straight at the dragon.

The dragon showed no mercy. It carried the power of Heaven and Earth as it plunged into his body.

"Argh..."

The unimaginable pain nearly shattered his mind. All he could do was roar instinctively, venting his agony.

In the stands, Lin Ge's sudden roar left everyone baffled. They had no idea what was happening.

Rumble—

At that very moment, vast banks of dark clouds swallowed the warm sun. Thunder boomed without end, fierce winds suddenly rose, and torrential rain came pouring down.

The sudden strange phenomenon left everyone bewildered. But when they saw Lin Ge roaring in the arena, they couldn't help feeling that he had somehow caused it.
