"Whoosh..." The As-You-Wish Staff stirred the dragon aura and smashed toward Ao Yan's dragon claw. Before it even drew near, it had already scattered the claw's fierce wind. Just as Ao Yan was greatly startled and tried to evade the staff so he could seize Xiao Hua's physical body, the As-You-Wish Staff struck the side of the dragon claw at an exceedingly strange angle with a "Bang..."

In fact, to trap him, all five dragons had shrunk their dragon bodies and taken human form.
"Damn it, this... must be some kind of formation from the North Sea Dragon Palace!" Xiao Hua
