Chapter 1160: Ironback Berserker Dragon |
TL: GoldenLung
Wang Yushan came from the Celestial Dragon Planet military. She likewise did not belong to any family influence but was a military officer. She was specifically responsible for quelling rebellions. She had led Celestial Dragon Planet’s fleets to battle on many other planets in the Dragon Horse galaxy multiple times, sweeping away all opponents who refused to submit. This one, despite being a female dragon clansman, was truly a god of slaughter. Given how rare female Higher dragons were, the fact that she remained unmarried to this day spoke volumes about her character.
Her sole purpose in participating in the Rising Dragon Competition was to become a Dragon Knight. Her direction was pure: she wanted to be a Dragon Knight. That was her lifelong goal.
A Dragon Knight had once evaluated her, saying her talent was insufficient but she compensated with frenzy, relying on powerful battle intent and near-mad obsession. The evaluation concluded that if she did not die, a place in the Dragon Knight world was guaranteed for her. That showed how highly she was regarded.
In her previous matches, her results were quite good. Without facing Lan Xuanyu, Bai Xiuxiu, or Hu Hongyu, she had lost only to Xu Yanmo. Her record was tied with Bai Xiuxiu and Hu Hongyu.
The fifth round today could be described as a collision of stars. Many high-performing participants would clash in this round.
Seeing her opponent‘s two wheel-sized battle axes, Bai Xiuxiu grasped the air with her right hand. As her Divine Dragon Armor covered her body, her dragon spear leaped into her palm.
Compared to Lan Xuanyu’s meteoric rise, she had achieved impressive results in the round-robin tournament but was not taken too seriously.
If anything, the attention she did receive stemmed from her stunning beauty and her status as a female dragon.
The title “Goddess of Luck” was both complimentary and derogatory. In this match, she had clearly encountered a true opponent. Lan Xuanyu had severely injured Hu Hongyu today, effectively clearing another obstacle from her path. But deep in Bai Xiuxiu’s heart, she never wanted to rely on others. She wished more to become Lan Xuanyu’s best partner and give him the greatest help. That was what she should do as his woman.
Lan Xuanyu had always shouldered too much responsibility. Unknowingly, he had grown into a towering tree. But how much was he supporting at the treetop?
Bai Xiuxiu had asked him more than once: what can we do for you, instead of you always sacrificing for us?
When entering the Inner Court of Shrek Academy, Lan Xuanyu had once wanted to set down the burden of the Thirty-Three Sky Wings. But no one expected that they would all be specially approved for admission into the Inner Court.
After that, he shouldered the burden again and faced everything anew. Did Bai Xiuxiu’s heart not ache? Of course it ached. Why did she train so hard? So that when needed, she could share some of his load.
At this moment, facing a powerful enemy, she had only one thought: no matter the cost, she would win this match. She had to defeat the opponent before her.
She knew Lan Xuanyu too well. In the match just past, he could have won without injury. Yet he chose to severely injure his opponent, effectively eliminating him from the competition, all for her sake!
He was injured because of her. At this moment, that was the only thought in Bai Xiuxiu‘s heart.
Wang Yushan was also watching her. As a war maniac, the Ironback Berserker Dragon had fought so many battles that even she could not remember the count. But she knew well that the aura of slaughter she carried would make even fellow Higher Dragons flinch, rarely anyone unaffected. Even male dragons were no exception. Yet at this moment, from this stunningly beautiful and seemingly delicate opponent, she saw no trace of fear.
To be honest, when she first saw Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu, she felt envious. Did she want to be so ferocious? She had also grown up with innocent dreams. Who would choose to be called a goddess of slaughter if they could live beautifully?
But her talent was what it was. Her dragon breed was inherently unattractive, and when transformed into human form, she ended up as this burly figure. What could she do?
She still remembered the first time she lost control. A male dragon had mocked her for looking like a man. She beat him senseless in a frenzy and only stopped after breaking his leg.
So when she first saw Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu, envy came naturally. Envy for their beauty, envy for their figures.
But as the competition progressed, her envy began to wane. Instead, she grew somewhat admiring of Lan Xuanyu. His incredibly powerful fighting style was exactly what she liked best. She fought the same way. She had long been eager to have a hard-fought battle against him.
She had dismissed Bai Xiuxiu. Her attention was almost entirely on Lan Xuanyu. The match just past excited Wang Yushan immensely. When both sides collided and were injured, and Lan Xuanyu stood up from the ground, Wang Yushan could not help but cheer. She cheered as a woman.
Among dragons, while females were popular, they had always been the weaker side. Few female dragons were exceptionally powerful.
To see a female dragon defeat a powerful male dragon made Lan Xuanyu, in her heart, a pride of female dragons.
And now, entering this match with fighting spirit, she was surprised to find that this stunningly beautiful, so-called Goddess of Luck, this Higher female dragon, seemed, perhaps, maybe not simple after all!
“Begin!” declared the referee, snapping both Bai Xiuxiu and Wang Yushan back to the present.
Wang Yushan let out a roar and shot forward like an arrow. She did not fly, but charged in great strides. Among Higher Dragons, she was one of the most fond of fighting in human form. She loved the feeling of splitting an opponent‘s body with her axe. It was far more satisfying than clawing and biting in dragon form. That was also why she aspired to be a Dragon Knight rather than a Dragon Mount.
With each stride, her speed surged. The ground boomed loudly with every step. Her imposing momentum continuously skyrocketed, escalating wildly as she rushed toward Bai Xiuxiu, her battle axes held out to both sides. The iron-black scales on her skin merged with her iron-black Divine Dragon Armor.
Bai Xiuxiu also did not take off. Facing her opponent’s fierce charge, she stepped forward slowly. Compared to the other‘s speed, she seemed to be taking an unhurried stroll. Beneath her deep-blue Divine Dragon Armor, crystalline dragon scales gleamed. A chill instantly spread.
Deep blue snowflakes began to drift outward from her body, framing her figure in unparalleled beauty.
In the eyes of all spectators, the two combatants at this moment were the very embodiment of justice and evil. That was the advantage of appearance.
When Wang Yushan was fifteen meters from Bai Xiuxiu, she finally struck. She waved her right hand, hurling her wheel-sized battle axe sideways. The axe spun rapidly, flying straight at Bai Xiuxiu. With her strength and the terrifyingly large axe, if it struck, even Divine Dragon Armor might not withstand the blow.
