At this moment, the Mount Dragons of the six people charged over with howls. As Dragon Knights and the Dragon Clan share one heart and mind, feeling their rider's battle intent, they naturally couldn't stand idly by. Their target, of course, was Bajie.
Facing the encirclement of six dragons, Bajie also abandoned his usual lethargy. His mouth brewed with Dragon Breath as he roared ceaselessly.
Within the Dragon Clan, there existed a strict hierarchy; an Earth Dragon would not dare challenge a Flying Dragon, the gap in strength between them as wide as the heavens. Enraged by Bajie's roar, the six plump dragons were visibly furious. Had it not been for Bajie's previously too formidable Dragon Breath that made these Flying Dragons somewhat wary, they would have likely charged all at once.
Even though it was six encircling one, the two sides ended up in a deadlock.
"Hey? Looking at this scene, isn't this the legendary upperclassmen bullying the lowerclassmen?"
A sharp voice came through, and everyone turned to look; it was a few familiar figures.
Wesley and Arin, a fat one and a thin one.
The speaker was the thin one.
"After all, they're our seniors. Beaten by a First Year on the first day of school—oh, it seems like six people now—they can't possibly save face, can they? If they don't regain their ground, how can they continue being seniors here?"
The fat one's mouth was much crueler than the thin one's.
"Are you alright?" Arin cautiously eyed the others, her gaze sweeping over Long Yi's body, which seemed fine except for some bloodstains on his hands.
"Brother Long, we've come to support you," Wesley hurriedly claimed credit.
"Though we're really just afraid that you getting beaten to a pulp would disgrace our First Year," the fat one scoffed coldly.
With the arrival of the four, Long Yi's encirclement immediately dispersed, turning from six against one to six against five. On the other side, it was six dragons against five dragons. Unfortunately, all of those on this side were juvenile dragons. Even Bajie, the largest of them, was only half the size of the others. The biggest of the rest was none other than the fat one's dragon.
That was a round, plump little dragon with round protrusions all over its body, each shimmering with light.
It was actually a Hive Dragon.
After reaching adolescence, a Hive Dragon's skin on its back will evolve hexagonal cavities like a beehive, and these cavities will slowly grow some beetles without independent consciousness but controlled by the Hive Dragon.
These beetles have huge bellies filled with unstable material. Under the control of the Hive Dragon, they will rush towards the enemy and explode this material, causing a terrifying blast with a vast range of impact.
It could be said that the Hive Dragon was the bane of both claustrophobics and groups of enemies.
Who would have thought that this fat one, with a glossy and tender face, would have such a hardcore dragon? However, at this moment, the Hive Dragon was just in its juvenile phase and was utterly incapable of producing self-destructive beetles.
At this point, the fat one deeply felt he had made an important decision.
Just a moment after Long Yi left, Wesley wanted to join Arin in finding Long Yi. The Observation Dragon, alert to its surroundings, had already heard the clash involving Long Yi. As a minion of Long Yi, Wesley was fairly competent.
At this moment, the fat one dragged up the thin one as well, they had decided to join on the spur of the moment.
The fat one was aware of Wesley's capabilities. Seeing them rush about, it was clear Long Yi was in trouble. The fat one didn't have the guts to defy an instructor openly, but he had his ways. And rescuing a classmate in difficulty was almost equivalent to saving a comrade on the battlefield, the quickest way to win the instructors' favor!
And this time, the fat one had bet correctly.
The First Year instructor, watching the four newcomers, was thoroughly pleased. He was also a veteran from the battlefield—if not for a health issue preventing him from fighting, would he be teaching students here? As a warrior, what he valued most was the bond between comrades! Even without his orders, these four had come here of their own accord. Regardless of whether the fat one and the thin one were sincerely helping Long Yi or not, purely on the merit of the situation, this was called knowing the bigger picture!
"You all arrived at a bad time. If you came a little later, you probably would have found seniors lying all over the place," Long Yi said with a smile.
"Showing off," the fat one replied with a disdainful twist of his mouth.
"Look, I've already knocked down one person and one dragon. I was just about to kick these six people flying, one by one, and then go help Bajie, when you guys came and interrupted."
Not a trace of realization of having been ganged up on just a moment ago was present in Long Yi's tone. A mere six novices were nothing in his eyes! He didn't consider at all that he was a novice himself.
In truth, whether it was the fat one and the thin one, or Wesley and Arin, they were all secretly shocked in their hearts. Although they had not witnessed Long Yi's combat, facing so many people and having disabled one person and one dragon was not something that could be easily explained with a few words.
It could only mean that Long Yi was very strong!
"Come on, you four, step aside. Let me finish this fight here, then we can all go grab some lunch with the remaining time."
All he thinks about is eating! Does his brain only have room for food?
The First Year instructor felt like he was going crazy. This Long Yi from the start had only talked about eating—could he really not get over his obsession with food in this lifetime?
Upon hearing Long Yi speak like that, Wesley instinctively felt something was off.
"Boss, you..."
"No way, their dragons have Fighting Aura between the fourth and fifth stages, and some of them are even using Fighting Aura techniques. You're no match," Arin decisively shook her head. Although she had almost no power herself, with the talent of her Mithril Dragon, she could discern the true strength of others. Having Fighting Aura techniques made a significant difference compared to those who didn't, and while it might not be obvious to others, Arin could see it.
"Don't worry, it's just Fighting Aura techniques, right? If I can't learn them after watching once, wouldn't that be too embarrassing?"
As Long Yi spoke, his Fighting Aura circulated rapidly, mimicking the style of the person from before. His arms shook and his Fighting Aura immediately coiled around his fists. In an instant, a dragon's head faintly took shape between his fists!
What!
```
And this time, everyone was stunned.
It was the Fighting Aura technique used by that person before, the Dragon Roar Fist!
How was that possible? He was just a freshman who had recently joined the school! How could he possibly perform the Dragon Roar Fist? Had he just learned it? Was he some kind of monster?
However, the surprise had only just begun; the Dragon Roar Fist 'pop' burst into nothingness.
Then Brother Long, looking rather embarrassed, scratched his head and honestly smiled, "Sorry, it's still quite difficult, seems it's not so easy to learn after all."
Damn it!
Among the six opponents, Luo Qi was naturally among them. As a second-year ranked third, he sought troubles with Long Yi, only to be knocked unconscious by Long Yi himself. He was already extremely annoyed deep down. Now that Long Yi had come knocking and taken down another person, Luo Qi actually felt somewhat pleased.
Because deep down, Luo Qi didn't actually believe that he had lost; he admitted he had underestimated Long Yi. He hadn't gone all out. And now, Luo Qi had decided he must save face himself! The scene of Long Yi catching the Dragon Roar Fist barehanded hadn't worried Luo Qi at all, because in his opinion, that Dragon Roar Fist, executed out of thin air without any attack for cover, was something he could deal with using many more and simpler methods compared to Long Yi!
With this in mind, Luo Qi turned and glanced behind. Among the crowd of second-years, one person was sitting on a Mount Dragon, and others were subtlety looking to him as their leader, that was the big brother of the second-years.
Seeing Luo Qi look back, the man gave a slight nod. So Luo Qi turned and said, "Since Long Yi is here on his own, we as seniors naturally cannot gang up on him. This time, I will be the one to fight!"
Luo Qi spoke with passionate eloquence, but Wesley scoffed disdainfully, "Starting from the morning until now, a series of battles against six people, and still you talk so nobly, it's simply unbelievable you don't know the meaning of the word 'disgrace'!"
Enraged, Luo Qi was about to speak when Long Yi burst out in anger at the same time, "Damn it! How can you speak to our senior like that! Look at Senior Luo Qi, I already knocked him out with one kick this morning, and now he still dares to come up and fight me, what kind of spirit is that? Isn't it the spirit of 'won't cry until seeing the coffin'?"
Wesley thought Long Yi was really going to scold him, but as soon as he heard the rest, he started to laugh and gave a big thumbs up, "Good, Brother Long, you are more poisonous than me!"
Luo Qi almost choked on his own saliva and passed out on hearing this. In no way had he expected Long Yi to have such audacity, to be still so outrageous at this time!
"Since the junior is so confident, I really want to see how many moves you can block against me!"
Without waiting for Wesley to leave Long Yi's side, he leapt into action. Long Yi chuckled and grabbed Wesley by the neck, shoving him back, then met Luo Qi head-on.
Luo Qi's body moved erratically, faking two moves, then suddenly thrusting out a probing punch. He had calculated that if Long Yi dodged, it would be a feint, followed by a flurry of strikes like a storm. If Long Yi didn't dodge, this punch would smash Long Yi's teeth in!
But what Long Yi did far exceeded Luo Qi's expectations. Not only did he not dodge, he sneered and his thrusting punch aimed straight for Luo Qi's face!
Dodge?
Give me a break! With my reach advantage, if any teeth are going to fly, it'll be yours first!
In a panic, Luo Qi dodged and in the instant he moved, he shockingly realized Long Yi's next hook punch was already on its way!
Dammit! That was exactly the attack I'd planned! How did this bastard pull it off!
Long Yi's hook punch came howling down from above with bursting Fighting Aura, without a hint of mercy!
Luo Qi had no choice but to tilt his head back, avoiding the strike, but almost at the same time, Long Yi's foot shot out!
Smack!
A sound, neither too soft nor too hard, and even without any Fighting Aura, landed on the unbalanced Luo Qi, who was directly kicked to the ground seat-first!
And it wasn't over yet!
Long Yi certainly had no fondness for sparing others, as he swiftly stepped in, twisted his waist and raised his leg, and with a sharp snap, a whip kick landed squarely on Luo Qi's arm.
Yes, on the arm.
Long Yi was originally aiming for Luo Qi's head, but in the crucial moment, Luo Qi demonstrated the reaction speed expected of his grade, his arm charged with Fighting Aura successfully blocked the strike, causing his entire body to be kicked sideways.
It was this strike that made Luo Qi understand, if he didn't have stronger moves, with mere fighting techniques alone, he was no match for Long Yi!
With this thought, Luo Qi rolled sideways, and without standing up, his Fighting Aura was already running at its peak!
Ha!
With a roar, Luo Qi who was still on the ground suddenly charged at Long Yi, his fists blazing with Fighting Aura. Long Yi naturally didn't show weakness, punches met head-on, and in the blink of an eye, they exchanged dozens of blows. Then, Luo Qi suddenly pulled back his punches, his Fighting Aura abruptly condensed and a Dragon Roar emanated from his fists!
"Dragon Roar Fist!"
A stronger Dragon Roar Fist than the man before! The dragon heads on his fists were more condensed, and the roaring even more electrifying!
"You think you're the only one who can do this?"
Long Yi laughed merrily, and his Fighting Aura also coalesced at the same time, from his fists too burst the sound of Dragon Roaring!
"Dragon Roar Fist 2.0 Version!"
Happy Year of the Horse! Get rich immediately! Hahaha!
