Mountain Dragon King Long Yue! The Nine Dragon Kings!
When Long Yue saw Ye Xinglan walk onto the arena, his gaze lingered on her for a moment.
He could see the gap between her and himself.
Her Soul Power fluctuations, her stance habits, the force in her fingertips when she grips the sword.
Everywhere he looked, it was telling him that the outcome of this battle was already predetermined.
But there was no fear, no hesitation, and no bluffing attempt to fill the gap with sheer force in her eyes.
There was only a calm, as if one had already known in advance how they would reach the end and where they would stop.
That's interesting.
"Just admit defeat."
Long Yue spoke.
You have no chance of beating me.
Ye Xinglan smiled, a smile that contained neither sarcasm nor feigned ease, but rather a gentle sigh.
"Enough with the nonsense, just try it and you'll see."
She raised the tip of her sword slightly.
"Bring it on."
Xu Lizhi stood on the sidelines, his gaze fixed on that figure's back.
He had seen her wielding the sword many times, but each time he saw her again, that silhouette would still make him momentarily lose his composure.
Her sword always points forward, and her steps never detour for anyone.
What he loved was her never bowing her head in front of anyone.
His voice pierced through the edge of the stands at that moment.
"Charge!"
"Sister Xinglan!"
Countless voices came from all directions in the audience.
The shouts of "Long Yue! Long Yue! Long Yue!" quickly drowned out the other scattered voices.
The level of attention this match has already surpassed that of a typical quarterfinal match.
If Monster Academy loses its final match, all eight quarter-finalists will be eliminated.
It will all turn into an internal war within the Shrek Academy.
Who can stand this???
The Shrek roster is almost five years younger than them.
If Monster Academy is completely suppressed on its home turf, no matter how many opportunities it has later, this round of defeat is enough to illustrate the problem.
Monster Academy can't afford to lose, and neither can the Star Luo Empire.
They wanted to create a myth, a myth that the people of the Star Luo Empire would believe.
But the person standing on the stage was Long Yue, and they were willing to believe that he could still turn the tide from this desperate situation.
The dark red figure stood like a mountain in the morning light.
This gave the Star Luo Empire audience a strong sense of security.
On the arena, the dark red in Long Yue's pupils was rapidly turning into a violent scarlet, and his aura was even heavier than before.
Like a layer of slowly erupting magma, it made the air around him even denser.
Dai Tianling sat on the high platform, her gaze fixed on Long Yue, her voice low:
"Teacher, is he alright...?"
His fingers tightened slightly on the armrest.
"A competition is a competition, but injuring someone else's genius is ultimately a difficult thing to explain."
"If the Federation and Shrek use this as an excuse to attack Star Luo Empire, I'll have a real headache."
Upon hearing this, En Ci paused for a moment, without looking away, and lowered her voice so that Dai Tianling could hear her clearly.
"It looks like... things are about to get out of control."
Dai Tianling turned her head:
"Ah?"
"Should we pause the game?"
En Ci remained silent for a moment.
He sensed the abnormal fluctuations in his disciple's mental state and noticed that the silver-white figure on the arena was ready to fight.
All four finalists are from Shrek. If they lose this match, Monster Academy's reputation will be completely ruined, and the Star Luo Empire will become a laughing stock across the entire continent.
"I believe he can do it,"
En Ci said.
"The Empire needs him, Monster Academy needs him too."
He cannot back down.
After the referee confirmed that both sides were in position, the sound spread out under the dome.
"The match begins!"
Long Yue's body surged forward as the referee's words fell.
The stone beneath their feet trembled, and the dragon's Heavy Pressure silently spread out.
It felt like an invisible mountain pressing down on Ye Xinglan's shoulders.
She charged forward against the oppressive force, her sword momentum undiminished, her movements unslowed.
Sparks ignited in his clear, cold eyes, and a layer of golden star power emanated from his chest, instantly transforming into starlight that soared into the sky.
The sword's blade was entirely bright yellow, and even in the sunlight, it still emitted dazzling light patterns.
It was as if she had gathered the entire galaxy into the blade of a sword.
As she took that step, her plain face was bathed in a pale golden glow.
His pupils transformed into two burning star- Lie Yan, and his aura surged at a visible speed.
Long Yue sensed the battle intent that was taking shape, which showed no signs of being suppressed; on the contrary, it was becoming more and more solid.
He grinned and chuckled.
"Hahahaha--I underestimated you!"
His enormous foot stomped forward, and six Soul Ring rose up from beneath his feet in succession.
Purple, purple, purple, black, black, black.
The oppressive aura belonging to the Mountain Dragon King then spread out.
Ye Xinglan felt as if a mountain had pressed down on her shoulders at that moment.
But her eyes were filled with fighting spirit, because he was not as unfathomable as Bai Yuan.
The Stargod Battle Intent surged within her, seemingly telling her that she might be able to defeat this person.
Just then, Long Yue roared angrily.
Its body was covered with rough, broad, shield-like brown dragon scales, and its size rapidly increased in the morning light, exceeding five meters in the blink of an eye.
The thick dragon tail trailed behind it, each swing causing fine cracks to spread across the surface of the arena.
That was the earth itself responding to the tremors of the Mountain Dragon King's arrival.
The Dragon King has arrived!
Gu Yuena looked at the phantom of the Mountain Dragon King on the arena, her feelings complicated.
As expected of the Nine Great Dragon Kings.
This Sisi resemblance to the past is enough to create an overwhelming sense of oppression for everyone.
But unexpectedly, this tiny human was able to Mountain Dragon King's might from the mountain.
If only it were by my side, then why would my grand plan to revive my Soul Beast need to be kept in hiding like this?
The Stargod Sword appeared in Ye Xinglan's right hand, its Sword Intent soaring into the sky in the morning light.
It confronted head-on with the unfolding dragon's might.
Despite the overwhelming pressure, she remained firmly in her position.
A pair of scarlet dragon eyes locked onto Ye Xinglan.
Long Yue let out a deep roar; he always used his dragon might to suppress his opponents.
He had intended to crush the swordswoman in front of him in the same way, but the Stargod Sword Intent showed no sign of yielding.
Despite the overwhelming pressure, she managed to carve out a foothold for herself.
"Interesting! So interesting!!"
"So much fun!!!"
At this moment, the entire Star Luo Empire and Monster Academy both need a resounding victory.
He no longer held back.
Without hesitation, he slammed his fists into the ground, and his first and Second Soul Ring simultaneously erupted with dazzling light.
The first Soul Skill of the Mountain Dragon King is mountains and rivers.
Second Soul Skill: Rivers.
The earth rose up before him, and water formed around him as two completely different forces surged toward Ye Xinglan at the same time.
One up, one down; one firm, one gentle; they blocked most of her escape routes.
The Mountain Dragon King transforms itself into a continent, providing a place for the dragon race to rest and recuperate; altering the terrain is its forte.
Having immersed himself in this art for many years, Long Yue had long since integrated mountains and Rivers into his fighting instincts.
In this battlefield he himself created, he is the rule itself.
While dodging Long Yue's attacks, Ye Xinglan also had to constantly consider how the changing terrain would affect her.
Bai Yuan glanced at the arena, his gaze settling on the figure struggling to withstand the Stargod Sword Intent, and shook his head.
"We lost."
"Ye Xinglan lost."
