Attack and Defense Switched

Compared to the female Fire Dragon's bloody and brutal combat style, the male Fire Dragon's approach was one of speed, passion, skill, and danger.

Fighting in the sky offered a wide field of vision and perfectly showcased the male Fire Dragon's powerful and agile wings.

With no obstructions in the sky and ample space for acceleration, the male Fire Dragon's claws, tail spikes, and bites became incredibly dangerous weapons. Although their battles didn't involve the same close-quarters entanglement as those between female Fire Dragons, the inherent peril was far greater.

A single misstep could lead to severe injury, and battles between male Fire Dragons were often decided in an instant.

Of course, this referred to normal battles between male Fire Dragons.

Luo Yun's fight, however, was anything but normal!

There was no thrilling aerial acceleration that ended in a flash, nor was there any close-range dogfighting like a butterfly flitting through flowers.

It was either a chase or a dance like bullfighting, with them circling each other.

It couldn't be helped; Luo Yun was only half the size of his opponent. Even with the Mighty Strength attribute, he was still at a significant disadvantage in terms of power.

Besides, even if he weren't at a disadvantage in power, he couldn't fight like a normal male Fire Dragon. His claws were barely longer than half of his opponent's.

If they were to clash directly, his opponent's claws would be at his face before he could even reach them.

Therefore, in his fight with this male Fire Dragon, brute force was not an option. Only speed and a few unique abilities were crucial.

As they brushed past each other once more, the male Fire Dragon had also grasped the rhythm of fighting with Luo Yun. It didn't stop uncontrollably and fly past as it had in previous encounters.

This time, it quickly adjusted its posture, its wing membranes deforming under the immense wind pressure. It forcefully twisted its body, opening its tooth-filled maw to bite at Luo Yun's wing.

Its eyes were filled with confidence. It believed that Luo Yun, a young dragon with little combat experience, would definitely not react to this sudden change!

"Die for me!!"

The male Fire Dragon envisioned Luo Yun's wing membranes being torn apart, blood spraying as he fell from the sky in a sorry state.

Swish!

"Naive!"

As if he had anticipated it, Luo Yun retracted his right wing, the target of the attack, not only causing the opponent to miss but also using the momentum to spin. His tail, wreathed in flames, struck the opponent's face, causing its head to turn.

Then, before the male Fire Dragon could fully recover its orientation, Luo Yun rapidly descended, flapping his wings to create distance once more.

That tail whip was like an adult being punched with all their might by a child. While it stung a little, it didn't inflict significant physical damage.

However, the psychological damage was considerable!

His confident counter-attack was not only dodged but also met with a resounding slap!

Do you know how much damage such a slap could inflict on an adult male Fire Dragon?

The male Fire Dragon stiffened, its muscles hardening!

It decided to stop playing this game of make-believe with Luo Yun. It would defeat him in the fastest, fiercest, and most vicious way possible!

"Hmm? What's that fire?"

A scorching sensation spread across its cheek, followed by a wisp of flame that forced the male Fire Dragon to close one eye to prevent being burned.

Orange-red flames ignited on the male Fire Dragon's right cheek. No matter how much it shook its head, the flames clung to it like a persistent curse.

Although the male Fire Dragon possessed high fire resistance and its eyes had a protective membrane, just as human eyes close when suddenly stimulated, the flickering flames repeatedly flashed past its eyes, forcing it to blink constantly.

For a male Fire Dragon, which already had excellent eyesight, these constant blinks not only created blind spots but also made it extremely uncomfortable.

The Body of Flames attribute not only granted Luo Yun higher and more exaggerated fire resistance and wreathed his body in flames, but it also modified his poison glands. His venom now possessed strong persistence and stickiness and had become flammable.

Upon contact with air and a slight increase in temperature, it would ignite, leaving a continuous "burning" effect on the opponent.

Under this burning effect, the male Fire Dragon developed blind spots and could no longer launch precise and continuous attacks as before. This gave Luo Yun more time to breathe and to "accelerate"!

It also created an excellent attack zone for him. The male Fire Dragon, enduring the discomfort, forced open its protective eye membranes and roared as it charged towards Luo Yun.

Luo Yun wasn't in a hurry. He turned and flew away. When he couldn't outfly it, he relied on his Mind's Eye ability to predict the opponent's attacks in advance, dodge them, and continue to evade.

During this time, the male Fire Dragon, unable to bear it any longer, spat out several fireballs. These uncharged fireballs were not fast. Given Luo Yun's demonstrated speed, he could easily dodge them.

It was merely trying to restrict Luo Yun's movements, but unexpectedly, it managed to hit!

The fireball exploded on Luo Yun's back, kicking up a cloud of smoke.

The male Fire Dragon let out an excited roar and hastily flew towards the hit Luo Yun.

While the male Fire Dragon's outer shell had high fire resistance, it didn't mean it wouldn't be harmed. Moreover, the fireballs exploded, further increasing their power.

In the worst-case scenario, this fireball could at least throw Luo Yun off balance.

This would be its chance for a killing blow!

Closer and closer they came. As the distance narrowed, the male Fire Dragon's flapping wings even generated strong wind pressure, propelling its body forward at high speed.

Suddenly, from within the smoke, Luo Yun, bathed in flames, burst out. He traced an elegant arc in the air before flying straight towards the male Fire Dragon.

The Fire Attraction attribute allowed Luo Yun to absorb external flames to strengthen his fire sac, increasing the temperature of his own flames. The increased flame temperature, in turn, further enhanced the flames from his Body of Flames attribute.

This caused Luo Yun, after absorbing the fireball, to be completely enveloped in orange-red flames. From a distance, he appeared as a dragon-shaped inferno.

Scorching heat radiated around him, causing the surrounding air to visibly distort.

At this moment, his Acceleration attribute had already boosted his speed to a very high level. Speed was power.

With the triple buffs of Body of Flames, Acceleration, and Mighty Strength, Luo Yun's combat power at this moment could completely suppress the opponent.

The Luo Yun of today was not the brittle-boned dragon of five years ago. The bones supporting his current body, in terms of both density and hardness, were sufficient to withstand collisions with other great beasts.

In the sky at this moment, Luo Yun was like a rapidly moving stream of flame, constantly circling the Male Fire Dragon and searching for an opening.

The Male Fire Dragon, which had been able to chase Luo Yun earlier, was now at a significant disadvantage in speed. No matter how it flew, it couldn't escape Luo Yun's entanglement and could only engage in passive defense.

The tables had turned!
