X-Dragon Era

Dragon battles are like this, if the dragon and the rider are blasted down together, there usually isn't much danger. The danger lies in the dragon being blasted apart, just like what Yi Luo Xiang experienced in Shanshui City. Once the dragon dissipates, it can no longer provide energy protection. Falling from high altitude would definitely result in a squashed mess—that would be unsurvivable.

As the competition between the two apprentices ended and a short rest followed, Xin Yun checked the time, turned his head with a smile towards the two girls, and as he did, both Yi Luo Xiang and Yan Qingying simultaneously gave him a thumbs up, showing their encouraging smiles.

Just then, as the Instructor Musha finished recording the results of the previous match, he announced loudly, "All right, up next... Contestant number 1001 versus number 1029, both parties prepare to enter the field!"

Hearing this, Xin Yun proudly stood atop Yinglong and with a slight motion of his foot, Yinglong slithered out. With a long, resounding roar, it was the first to leap onto the battleground, its body swayed gracefully as it searched for its opponent.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..." While Xin Yun was searching, a series of thunderous roars came from underneath the nearby forest, prompting him to turn in astonishment. A massive Rhinoceros Dragon was approaching with heavy steps.

"Holy shit! Is this..." Seeing this scene, Xin Yun's mouth hung open in shock. How had he ended up against an Earth Dragon?

Though both creatures are dragons, not all dragons can fly, as demonstrated by the Rhinoceros Dragon in front of Xin Yun. This fellow lacked even wings, let alone the ability to fly. Aside from its large size, it was essentially just a rhinoceros blown up several times in scale.

From his elevated position, Xin Yun gazed down at the huge creature, unable to comprehend how, in its current state, it was supposed to attack him? It seemed like it would be nothing but a one-sided massacre!

Lost in thought, Instructor Musha's voice crisply announced, "The match duration is ten minutes. If a victor cannot be decided within this time, I will make the final judgment!"

With that, Instructor Musha raised his right hand and intoned deeply, "Alright, listen to my command, the match... begin!"

Accompanying Instructor Musha's voice, Xin Yun's spirit instantly focused. It wasn't something done intentionally. The past year of battling against Yi Luo and Yan Qingying had instilled in him a habit of constant vigilance. The moment he entered combat mode, nothing could distract him. Explore more at empire

He knew all too well that any lapse in concentration would result in Yi Luo Xiang and Yan Qingying quickly leaving him battered and bruised—a lesson paid for in blood!

"Moo..." As Xin Yun was fully concentrated, the Rhinoceros Dragon suddenly raised its head towards him and let out a long, sonorous roar. In an instant... A wave of sonic shockwaves passed, and Xin Yun was horrified to find himself immobilized!

Being immobilized, while not paralysis, had a similar effect where he couldn't move temporarily. However... Thunderbolt paralysis not only affected the body, it also paralyzed both the spirit and the soul all at once. In contrast, the Rhinoceros Dragon's roar could only paralyze the body, unable to affect the spirit and soul.

Seeing that he had successfully immobilized Xin Yun in the air, the Rhinoceros Dragon's rider clenched his fist in excitement and roared triumphantly, "Ahahaha... I've won! Rhinoceros Dragon... Horn Charge!"

With that command, the Rhinoceros Dragon lowered its head sharply. In an instant... The sole horn on the Rhinoceros Dragon's forehead burst out with a brilliant yellow light, and then, like a missile, the horn shot out towards Yinglong in the air. (To be continued.
