The Enemy Named Luo Qing

Luo Qing stood in the arena as everyone around him held their breath nervously.

Tang Wulin and the others had reached the final round, and Luo Qing stood opposite them.

"Don't worry. Just do your best!"

Even standing across from them, Luo Qing was still trying to reassure his friends.

"Don't get too full of yourself. There are three of us, and only one of you."

How could Gu Yue accept such consolation? She was the noble Silver Dragon King. Although the most she could exert here was the power of a three-ring Soul Master—after all, she still had to conceal her strength—as one half of the Dragon God, possessing the Dragon God's authority over spirit, wisdom, and elements, how could she lose to some brat?

"Mm, then when do we start?"

Luo Qing paid no attention to Gu Yue's words and merely looked toward Wu Zhangkong.

Wu Zhangkong took out his pocket watch. After watching the time tick by for a while, he shouted, "Return to your positions. Prepare for the match."

"Tang Wulin, are you nervous?"

As Xie Xie walked back to his position, he spoke in a low voice.

"How could I not be nervous? What about you, Xie Xie?"

Xie Xie recalled those light wings that had come so close, and his legs trembled slightly. Still, he forced himself to stand straight. "Honestly, I'm not very confident either."

"Don't worry. I've got this!"

Gu Yue cut into their conversation at that moment. The two could only nod slightly before facing Luo Qing with solemn focus.

While watching the pocket watch in his hand, Wu Zhangkong raised a whistle with the other.

Beep—

The instant the shrill whistle sounded, two hammers appeared in Tang Wulin's hands.

She absolutely could not hold back. She absolutely could not retreat!

Tang Wulin knew full well how strong her big brother was.

Big brother was strong—the kind of strong that meant she did not need to hold back!

Against her favorite big brother, she had to give it everything she had!

With that thought, Tang Wulin stomped down hard.

The immense force sent her charging forward, while the Light Dragon Dagger and Shadow Dragon Dagger appeared simultaneously in Xie Xie's hands.

Many faint lights of different colors appeared around Gu Yue, and silver radiance abruptly bloomed in her eyes.

The three of them had clearly gone all out, unlike when they had faced the other teams in the promotion matches.

From the very beginning, they had decided to throw out all their trump cards!

Luo Qing stood where he was, watching their fierce approach with a faint smile. "Good!"

The layer of light wings behind him abruptly spread wide, and his aura changed in an instant. His former gentleness became a treasure sword just beginning to reveal its edge.

With a beat of his wings, a gale carried him into the sky before he suddenly dove toward the ground.

His wings drew in slightly, and the sound of tearing air followed.

The three immediately raised their guard to the utmost. Gu Yue gritted her teeth as an enormous rocky barrier suddenly erupted from the ground. "Watch out!"

As Gu Yue struggled to support the massive stone wall, she warned Xie Xie and Tang Wulin behind it.

Boom—

Luo Qing's dive smashed through the thick stone wall, displaying his tremendous power.

"Now!"

As dust flew everywhere and their vision was temporarily obscured, Xie Xie suddenly brought down the Light Dragon Dagger and Shadow Dragon Dagger.

Clang—

Intense friction sent sparks flying. Xie Xie swiftly withdrew and retreated. "Damn it! I remember Luo Qing isn't supposed to have a defensive-type martial soul!"

Tang Wulin was not idle either. Her Thousand Forging Heavy Silver Hammer and Tungsten Steel Hammer swung out, seeming to carry the force of a thousand tons.

Naturally, Luo Qing did not dare take his dear little sister's two full-powered hammer strikes head-on. He hurriedly beat his wings and retreated.

"He dodged! It looks like it worked—"

Xie Xie sharply noticed this and instantly came up with a plan. "Tang Wulin, I'll harass him. Find the right moment and attack with everything you have!"

At the same time, Xie Xie signaled Gu Yue. Gu Yue nodded; she understood what he meant.

The three exchanged glances and immediately sprang into action.

Luo Qing had only just escaped their encirclement when, before he could catch his breath, a fireball came hurtling at his face.

Boom—

The fireball struck Luo Qing squarely in the face. Smoke billowed around him, but after a light breeze blew through and dispersed it, Luo Qing stood there seemingly unaffected.

"What? Why didn't the fireball work?"

Xie Xie was dumbfounded by the sight, and Gu Yue wore an equally disbelieving expression.

She had no idea why this dragon from beyond their world possessed elemental resistance.

But now that they had no way back, even if they lost, they had to make it a good fight.

"Don't lose your nerve. Keep up the pressure!"

Gu Yue no longer tried to attack him directly with elements. Instead, she used various physical methods. Her control over the earth element turned the scattered stones around them into weapons, sending them shooting toward Luo Qing in the air.

Watching the dense barrage of rubble rushing at him, Luo Qing spread his wings. Massive wind-wreathed slashes of light shattered the stones to pieces.

"Right now!"

Vines in Tang Wulin's hands suddenly wrapped around Luo Qing, whose vision had been obscured by his previous attack.

An enormous force began dragging him down, and even Luo Qing looked surprised. "Wu Lin, you can do this too?"

Xie Xie finally saw a glimmer of hope. "Pull him down, quickly!"

Tang Wulin gritted her teeth, veins bulging on her hands. Her petite body erupted with astonishing strength.

The dragon scales on her body also gradually began to awaken, and her hands slowly took on a golden gleam.

Hah—

Tang Wulin gave a fierce yank. Luo Qing could no longer maintain his balance and fell straight down.

"You being able to achieve this really does surprise me. But I've already made up my mind—I'm going all out!"

Tyrant's Wings did not lose their combat power just because they touched the ground. They themselves were the finest weapons.

Wing blades formed of light slashed straight down. Tang Wulin raised her twin hammers to block—

Clang—

Tang Wulin gritted her teeth and held on with difficulty, but Luo Qing's strength only continued to increase.

Gu Yue stretched out her hand and used the wind element again. This time, she intended to use currents of wind to throw Luo Qing off balance.

The wind grew stronger and stronger, yet Luo Qing stood unmoving within the hurricane Gu Yue had created.

"He's too strong! Can we really beat him?"

Xie Xie had only just found a trace of hope, but it was suddenly replaced by despair.

At that moment, terrifying golden light began to erupt from Tang Wulin's eyes. That golden radiance seemed like an omen as savage scales began covering her hands.

Golden scales covered her hands, with claws extending from her fingertips. They were unmistakably the claws of some dragon.

"Golden Dragon Claw? She already has it?"

Luo Qing clearly had not expected this, but Tang Wulin could not care about that now.

She abandoned both hammers, and the Golden Dragon Claw in her hand slashed down.

Luo Qing raised his hand to block. A layer of light covered his body, which should have been enough to withstand such damage.

But things did not go as intended. The dragon claw viciously pierced through the light barrier.

Tang Wulin and Xie Xie watched the smoke gradually disperse before them with bated breath, while Gu Yue clenched her fists tightly.

As the smoke cleared—

Luo Qing... was bleeding...
