Chapter 262: The Power of Dragon
Xue Hanlei returned today, feeling very happy.
For the coming-of-age ceremony of her cousin, all the East Sea dragons came, all of them were family, and she may have married out, but the East Sea is still her hometown.
The Dragon Clan does not have the idea that daughters who marry are like water thrown away.
She hasn’t been back for almost ten years. For the Dragon Clan, it may not be particularly long, but it is not short either.
Xue Hanlei intended to greet her cousin when she entered the courtyard, but she encountered one of the people she least wanted to meet.
Although the Dragon Clan is not numerous, with only a few dozen dragons, there are at least a dozen in the same generation. There are a few brothers and sisters who may get along well, but when the number increases, there will inevitably be a few who don’t get along with each other. When she was still a child, the two sides had already broken apart and become antagonistic. After she married, the situation got even worse.
One said "a widow".
One said "a tomboy".
The two dragon girls clashed.
Even the best of quintuplets could fight fiercely over a man, let alone the naturally combative dragons.
The courtyard immediately became a battlefield between the two dragons… which was impossible.
For various reasons, Xue Hanlei never fought anyone.
Moreover, the other party was also a dragon, and she couldn’t win in her current state.
But Xue Hanlei was not someone who would swallow her pride and be taken advantage of. She got mad and directly took the initiative, slapping the other party in the face.
She scored the first point.
Then she turned around and ran towards the inner courtyard.
If she didn’t run, would she just stand there and be beaten? Her body would fall apart if she took another punch.
Ying Mu was stunned after being slapped. When was the last time she, an East Sea dragon girl, was slapped? The last time was seventy years ago when she wanted to secretly set fire to the school because she was worried about not completing her homework!
"Xue Hanlei!"
An angry roar reverberated throughout half of the courtyard.
She was extremely angry, breaking the coral decorations along the way, creating human-shaped pits in the garden.
The enraged Jiaolong searched for the fleeing figure.
Xue Hanlei carefully avoided various decorations while circling around, intending to go back to the reception hall to avoid any danger and seek refuge with Yun Wuxin. Who among the others would dare to provoke a dragon? Immortals would not fear it.
But as soon as she came back, she ran into Bai Wei, who was looking for someone.
"Hurry…" Xue Hanlei was about to say something.
Bai Wei’s expression suddenly turned solemn, he saw a furious dragon emerging in the courtyard behind Xue Hanlei. It leaped high and locked onto Xue Hanlei’s back, then threw a punch at her.
The young man’s face changed drastically. He intercepted Xue Hanlei and swiftly turned around, pulling her behind him. The two of them alternated positions as if dancing a rotating waltz. In the moment they turned around, his right hand also grabbed the other’s fist.
Xue Hanlei yelled, "Let go quickly!"
Ying Mu, the Jiaolong, unleashed her uncontrollable dragon power. Even though the Jiaolong was not a true dragon, this power surpassed the limit that humans can withstand. Even a first-rank warrior would have to step back.
If it were a martial artist of the first rank.
Bai Wei stood still, like an ancient tree that had been rooted in the earth for a thousand years. The ground behind him cracked, and the dragon power that passed through it lifted and shattered the floor, sending a mighty gust of wind down the corridor. Even a Shrimp Soldier who happened to pass by at the end of the corridor was lifted off his feet and fell in a daze.
In terms of dragon power, this punch was enough to tear off Bai Wei’s arm.
That’s why Xue Hanlei was shocked.
No matter how skilled martial artists were in physical strength, they were far inferior to dragons.
But Bai Wei, who had already regained some of the Golden Power, was no longer an ordinary person who would feel numb even after chopping an ordinary cult member.
His level could no longer be calculated in the usual way.
Even though his swordmanship level had been stuck at level 31 for a long time, his other profession, Judge, had also stopped at level 15.
However, certain techniques that had been sealed due to the loss of Golden Power can now be used.
Bai Wei imagined his arm as gears, gears that meshed and levers that reinforced, transmitting power. If his physique was not strong enough, he would strengthen it.
The crucial bones beneath the flesh were coated with a golden glow.
Ying Mu didn’t anticipate that this punch would be blocked. With anger, she roared, "Get out of my way!"
As she said that, she pulled back one fist and swung the other fist towards Bai Wei.
This time, her left fist was also caught by Bai Wei, but getting beaten was definitely not in his character.
So he retaliated.
A true feminist is an advocate of equality. It doesn’t matter if you’re a dragon or a woman, I will fight you without discrimination.
Crack…as if the sound of gears operating came from his arm, it was not just about reinforcement, but also minimizing unnecessary energy consumption.
As if leveraging a lever, his left hand caught the fist and the force penetrated through his arm, shoulder blades, and spine, finally reaching the muscle fibers in his right hand. It filled his bones, generating a terrifying explosive force.
Using force to counter force is simple to say, but it is impossible for a martial artist to achieve it solely with their physical body. It must rely on certain imaginary constructs, and these constructs are supplemented by the Golden Power. Perhaps due to limited power, Bai Wei discovered a more detailed way to utilize the Golden Power. In the past, it was not necessary at all. When you have missiles and nuclear weapons, you won’t consider using a knife to attack because long-range artillery and firepower coverage can be truly addictive.
When Bai Wei began to imagine that his body was composed of countless screws and levers, the Golden Power had silently responded to him and perfected this construct. As a result, this punch became a lever that leveraged the opponent’s strength, unleashing the true power of a dragon.
Bai Wei , acting as the lever, had all the force feedbacked.
His right fist landed squarely on the side of Ying Mu ‘s dragon lady’s face, sending her flying. It could be seen that dragons were truly outrageous.
Xue Hanlei was stunned for a few seconds before rushing over, "Are you okay?"
She was really worried that this punch not only exerted 80 years of strength, but also took away 80 years of lifespan.
Bai Wei said indifferently, "It’s alright, I just used the highest level of energy dissipation, please call me Bai Haiwang."
"…You still have the mood to joke, it seems like you’re really okay." Xue Hanlei had a strange expression, "You actually managed to knock down an adult Jiao Dragon. Although I know you have learned martial arts, are you still considered human doing this?"
"Is martial arts such an unchanging thing?" Bai Wei shook his head, "Don’t underestimate martial artists, even a 1st rank Grandmaster can kill a dragon."
"Bullshit." Xue Hanlei spat, "Killing a dragon as a 1st rank Grandmaster is one thing, beating up a dragon barehanded is another!"
"You guys seem to be having a good time!" The Jiao Dragon, whose body exceeded nine zhang, raised its head, its amber eyes locking onto them.
"Are you crazy? Showing your true form here?"
"You attacked me first! I have to kill you once!" The Jiao Dragon suddenly became enraged.
Bai Wei clenched the golden gears in his fingertips, then relaxed them, choosing to stand still, because…
The roaring of the Jiao Dragon immediately stopped, not even its powerful body moved anymore, because frost, frost covered its dragon scales, and icy shackles imprisoned it in place.
Yun Wuxin walked out from the side, looking at Xue Hanlei calmly, "Did you come find me just to deal with such troublesome matters?"
"No, this was an accident." Xue Hanlei shook her head, frowning, "You should calm down."
The Jiao Dragon was unwilling in its heart. It had been slapped and punched, but now it seemed that even if it attacked, it wouldn’t be a match. It angrily said, "Xue Hanlei , if you have the guts, fight me one-on-one!"
"If I can fight you one-on-one, why would I bring people?" Xue Hanlei raised an eyebrow, "Stop talking nonsense."
Ying Mu also chimed in, and seeing that the two were about to start a long-winded quarrel, she heard a clear and majestic reprimand.
"Shut up, both of you!"
A silver-clad Dragon Maiden spoke up, her appearance more like a pure-blooded dragon than any other Dragon Maiden. The most eye-catching part was the pair of horns on top of her head, elegant and magnificent. Her narrow eyes were cold, and her long hair hung down to her waist.
"Sisters, today is my coming-of-age ceremony, I hope you won’t fight… can you give Hanli some face?"
The parties involved should give face.
Ying Mu transformed back into her human form and swallowed her anger, "Xue Hanlei , consider yourself lucky! With so many people protecting you, I’ll let it go for today, but you won’t escape tomorrow… We’ll settle this debt together!"
After speaking, Ying Mu left, looking at Ao Hanli with a cold face, "Don’t bother with me!"
"Ah…" Ao Hanli sighed, looking at Xue Hanlei helplessly, "Such a fine coming-of-age ceremony turned out like this."
"I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it." Xue Hanlei approached and hugged Ao Hanli , "Long time no see, Hanli, I missed you, sister."
Ao Hanli’s face relaxed a bit, nodding slightly. She looked much more dignified than Xue Hanlei. From their names, one could tell that their relationship with the previous generation should be very close.
"What exactly is happening tomorrow?" Bai Wei asked, also remembering that tonight was the Tulip Academy anniversary celebration, and tomorrow night was the intercollegiate competition.
Ao Hanli was impressed by Bai Wei, an ordinary person who could defeat a dragon woman with his bare hands. She calmly asked, "You don’t know? Your sister didn’t tell you?"
Bai Wei shook his head.
Ao Hanli glanced at Xue Hanlei with blame. Xue Hanlei, this worthless woman, started whistling and avoiding the topic.
After thinking for a moment, Ao Hanli summed it up concisely, "You can think of it as… the TV show ‘Boys and Girls Charging Forward’."
