As the saying went, the waves behind the Yangtze River pushed the waves ahead, and the earlier waves died on the beach. But Wo You did not belong to the earlier waves yet, so he should not have to die on the beach, right? So please support me, everyone.

Yuan Tian and Pang Heng spent their days resting whenever there was nothing to do, eating seafood, resting some more, and then leisurely making their way toward the Primordial Wilderness once they were rested. Their destination was the Primordial Wilderness's landmark "building"—Mount Buzhou. But judging by how they were now, this did not seem to be serving much as training. At least, Yuan Tian could not see it.

One day, as Yuan Tian and Pang Heng traveled along at leisure, what looked like a mass of "dark clouds" suddenly bore down from ahead. Yuan Tian swept it with his Divine Sense. Horns like a deer's, a head like a camel's, a mouth like a donkey's, eyes like a turtle's, ears like a cow's, scales like a fish's, whiskers like a shrimp's, a belly like a snake's, and claws like an eagle's. Wasn't that the appearance of dragons? It seemed to be the Dragon Clan without question. Thirteen dragons were rushing in their direction. What was this? A group tour? Or had the Dragon Clan learned that Pang Heng was with him and come after them? Was the Dragon Clan's intelligence really that accurate, or was there simply no information in the Primordial Wilderness that could be kept hidden?

Before Yuan Tian could figure it out, the Dragon Clan had arrived before them in the blink of an eye. They did not transform into human form, remaining in their true dragon forms. Even the shortest among them was a hundred zhang long, while the longest was nearly a thousand zhang. They blocked almost the entire path ahead of Yuan Tian. No wonder they had seemed like dark clouds bearing down on them earlier.

Faced with the Dragon Clan before him, Yuan Tian could not help but study them carefully. He knew that dragons existed in the Primordial Wilderness, but he had never seen one before. He only knew what they looked like from his memories. This was the first time he had truly seen living dragons appear before his eyes, so he had to seize the chance to take a good look. There was no loss in looking, and it did not cost anything. Why not look?

"Hey, you creepy brat, what are you staring at?" At last, one of the dragons could no longer stand Yuan Tian's gaze. That fellow's eyes were too unbearable; they made him shudder all over, as if he had encountered some perverted creature. He could not help but roar.

"Hmm?" Yuan Tian did not realize the dragon was talking about him. How could the adjective "creepy" possibly apply to him? No need to pay attention. He continued staring at the dragons.

"Hey, you! The one in the azure Daoist robe! Yes, you! I told you to stop looking, but you keep looking! Look again, and I'll kill you!" That dragon truly could not take it anymore. This fellow actually dared to ignore him, so he grandly declared that he would finish Yuan Tian off.

"Hmm?" Yuan Tian seemed to have finally reacted. The one in an azure Daoist robe—he appeared to be the only one here. Could the dragon be talking about him? He could not help pointing at himself as he asked, "Are you talking about me?"

"Of course I am! Who else would I be talking about? You creepy bastard." Good grief, he had finally caught on. That had not been easy.

"Creepy? Me? I'm creepy?" Was there some mistake? I'm creepy? Could the entire Primordial Wilderness even find a young man as outstanding as me? Creepy? How could that be? This bastard actually called me creepy, and he even wants to kill me. Why was I always the one getting hurt? With his Taiyi Realm cultivation, could he even kill me? I was just looking. Are all dragons this arrogant? Even an aunt can tolerate this, but this uncle can't stand it anymore.

"Brat, you dare speak to my boss like that? Are you looking to die?" Before Yuan Tian could speak, Pang Heng beside him could no longer endure it. That dragon dared talk about his boss that way. Insulting his boss was insulting him, and insulting him meant there would be no end to it. Besides, he already had a grudge against the Dragon Clan. With his boss present now, he had to settle old grudges and avenge old wrongs, and properly settle the score with these dragons. He would have a taste of "borrowing the tiger's might."

Seeing that Pang Heng had already spoken, Yuan Tian had no need to say anything more. But the Dragon Clan could not stand it. They were the Dragon Clan,

the noble Dragon Clan, one of the three great overlords of the Primordial Wilderness. It had always been the Dragon Clan bullying others. If they bullied someone, that person had to take the beating without fighting back and take the scolding without replying. Yet now, these two fellows—one had ignored them from the very beginning, while the other even dared talk back. If a true dragon did not show its might, did they think it was an earthworm? They would definitely teach these two a proper lesson today. "Huh, this armored fellow's aura feels familiar. I seem to have seen him somewhere before, but I can't remember where. Sigh, this memory... Am I getting old?" One dragon among them found Pang Heng familiar, but could not recall who he was. He tilted his head and began thinking. This was truly a headache.

"Ah, I remember now!" At last, after Pang Heng spoke, that dragon recalled who Pang Heng was.

"Old Eighth, what did you remember?" The dragon who had just said "I remember now" was the second elder's son. He ranked eighth among his generation, so everyone called him Old Eighth.

"Brothers, I know who that armored fellow is. What a small world. That fellow's true form is a crab. Before he transformed, I had a grudge with him. The Dragon Clan issued a pursuit order against him, but every time we hunted him down, he escaped by sheer luck. The last time, Fifth Brother acted personally. Though he did not kill him, he took his bonded Spirit Treasure and wounded him. I never expected this fellow to still be alive, much less to have transformed. No matter what, we cannot let him go this time." Old Eighth explained to his brothers.

"Hmph!" Pang Heng also noticed Old Eighth. He had not spotted him at first, but now that he did, enemies meeting face-to-face made their eyes blaze with hatred. "Good, so you dead loach are here too. Today, I will make sure you stay here."

Pang Heng's hatred for Old Eighth ran as deep as the sea. They had begun hunting him before he had transformed, and they had even stolen his bonded Spirit Treasure. Whether Old Eighth had taken it personally or not, it had been the Dragon Clan, and this matter had begun because of him. It had nearly gotten Pang Heng killed during his transformation. Now that he saw the chief culprit, how could his eyes not turn red with fury?

"Oh? You dead crab, you've grown bold. You dare act so arrogantly before me? Do you think transforming means you now have the right to be arrogant?" Dragon Eighth was displeased now. This fellow should have immediately fled for his life upon seeing him, yet he was still acting so arrogantly. Did he think he could act however he pleased just because Dragon Eighth could not defeat him alone? Could he not see the dozen-plus brothers beside him?

"Dead loach, if I don't kill you today, I won't be able to ease the hatred in my heart." Pang Heng refused to yield. Damn it, you have brothers, but don't I have a boss? Who's afraid of whom? I'll kill you today.

"Fine. Today, I'll see what gives you the right to be so arrogant. Don't think you'll be able to escape as luckily as before." Dragon Eighth also refused to back down. Still, he knew his own limits and understood that he could not defeat the dead crab before him alone. He intended to have everyone attack together. After all, thirteen against one meant victory would certainly belong to his side. Poor Yuan Tian was splendidly ignored by Dragon Eighth, who did not count him as a person at all. Perhaps in Dragon Eighth's eyes, Yuan Tian would never dare oppose the Dragon Clan for Pang Heng's sake, so he simply ignored him completely.

Both sides continued their war of words. Needless to say, the atmosphere was far from friendly, and a clash was about to erupt at any moment. Yet Yuan Tian seemed rather eager for it.
