Volume One: Awakening of the Dragon Soul Chapter 78: Face the Gale!

No! The dragon wasn’t biting anyone!

Instead, a figure stood inside its maw! He had a pair of tall, pointed ears and a cascade of azure hair.

Mo Xing rubbed his eyes—he was too far away to see any more details!

“Whoosh—”

The dragon continued to beat its wings, stirring the air into a fierce cyclone that nearly swept Mo Xing off his feet.

“Wretched humans! Yesterday you annihilated my third brother, the Crimson Flame Battle God. Today, I, the Gale Knight, shall claim the lives of all of you in retribution!” The figure at the dragon’s mouth roared, his piercing voice carried by the wind and making everyone’s head throb.

“Damn, this guy’s voice is unbearable!” Wu Dancai groaned, clutching his ears.

“Yeah! I’d rather listen to Xiao Ming nag ten times than hear a single word from this guy!” Mo Xing also covered his ears.

“What? When did I ever nag?” Xiao Ming protested, clearly displeased and itching to retort.

“Where’s Mentor Su Yunzhou? Hurry up and mute that dragon!” Wu Dancai said in misery, gathering golden elements at his ears to form a membrane.

“I don’t know! The mentor should’ve appeared by now!” Mo Xing shook his head.

“No need to wait for that mute master—I can shut him up myself!” With that, Xiao Ming pulled out a loudspeaker from nowhere, as if he’d prepared it in advance.

“Where did you get that thing?” Mo Xing was baffled—was this guy possessed by Doraemon?

“Just picked it up!” Xiao Ming replied, then raised the loudspeaker to shout at the sky:

“You up there with the fancy hat! Get down here!”

“Riding a dragon looks cool, huh? Think you’re a dragon knight?”

“No, you’re the so-called Gale Knight!”

“Pah! I’m the Blade of the Gale myself!”

“Come down and fight me one-on-one if you have the guts!”

“Fight like a real man!”

“Wait—are you even a man?”

“Coward, scared yet?”

Faced with Xiao Ming’s rapid-fire taunts, Mo Xing and Wu Dancai were stunned. The guy was a master at mocking—but wasn’t he afraid of getting beaten up?

“Whoosh—”

The dragon roared again, whipping up another cyclone.

“A mere human, so arrogant!” The Gale Knight thundered, “Dare to challenge me? I’ll show you true cruelty!”

“Minions, attack!” At his command, countless dark figures leapt from the dragon’s back, plummeting toward the Divine Ark.

“Damn, there are so many!” Xiao Ming panicked.

“Well, it’s your fault for yelling!” Wu Dancai smacked his head, then unleashed Dragon’s Roar from his storage ring, firing several missiles into the air and knocking down several shadows with precision.

“Remote professions really shine at times like this!” Xiao Ming shouted excitedly, like a fervent fan. “Hit them, hit them!”

“Mo Xing, help me shut him up!” Wu Dancai said, unleashing skills skyward.

“Alright!” Mo Xing began gathering ice elements, preparing to seal Xiao Ming’s mouth.

“No, no! I’ll be quiet! I won’t say a word!” Xiao Ming waved his hands in surrender.

“Damn! There are too many targets!” Wu Dancai exclaimed.

“I’ll help you!” Mo Xing raised God’s Frostless Blade, summoning water elements and swung several curved ice blades into the air—

Frozen Water: Whirling Strike!

A few dark figures were knocked down!

“Nice! Your sword can launch ranged attacks too!” Xiao Ming praised from the side. “Are you a magic swordsman as well? What skill is that?”

“Teach me, will you?”

“Quiet!” Wu Dancai snapped, turning to glare.

“Okay, okay, I’ll shut up.” Xiao Ming hurriedly zipped his lips.

“Unbelievable!” The Gale Knight’s face darkened as his subordinates fell one after another. “What use are you all? Useless rabble!”

“Pipi Xia, let’s go!” he ordered, and the dragon surged toward Mo Xing’s group with a beat of its wings.

“Oh hell!” Xiao Ming cried out in alarm.

“Charge the Light Cannon!”

Wu Dancai fired a blast from Dragon’s Roar.

“Frozen Water: Whirling Strike!”

Mo Xing unleashed several curved ice blades at the dragon.

“Useless!” the Gale Knight sneered, flicking his hand. The dragon let out a shrill roar, summoning a cyclone that instantly swept away Mo Xing and Wu Dancai’s attacks.

“This is bad!” Wu Dancai quickly cast Iron Wall, golden elements rapidly forming a sturdy barricade that absorbed the dragon’s ferocious impact from above and the deadly force of the wind.

“This wall’s thick enough, ha ha!” Behind the Iron Wall, Mo Xing and Wu Dancai could hear the Gale Knight’s wild laughter.

“What do we do now?” Xiao Ming fretted.

“You’re the one who talks the most!” Wu Dancai frowned, knocking Xiao Ming’s head. “Maybe we’ll toss you out as dragon bait!”

“No, please! I was wrong!” Xiao Ming wailed.

“I have an idea!” Mo Xing suddenly said.

“No need for your ideas!” the Gale Knight laughed from outside the wall. “In the face of absolute strength, you’re nothing but trash!”

He leapt from the dragon’s mouth, brandishing an umbrella-shaped spear over a meter and eighty tall, its golden surface tinged with green.

“Face the gale, brothers!”

With that, he raised his spear, unleashing a violent cyclone that split the wall in two, cleaving a deep chasm.

But the people behind the wall had already vanished.

“Strange, where did they hide?” The Gale Knight looked around, then cursed, “Damn it, hiding won’t keep you safe from me!”

“No one’s hiding!”

A furious shout erupted behind him. Mechanical hands shot up from beneath his feet, binding him tightly, and ice elements quickly crawled over his body, freezing him solid.

Wu Dancai, dragging Xiao Ming, emerged from the other side of the wall, with Mo Xing following. Their timely retreat and combo had successfully restrained the enemy.

“More pressure!” Mo Xing unleashed additional ice elements, strengthening the Gale Knight’s freezing.

“Of course!” Wu Dancai summoned more mechanical hands to bind him.

“Don’t forget—” Xiao Ming, still dangling from Wu Dancai’s grip, gestured to the side.

“Roar!”

The dragon let out a deafening cry, sending a powerful shockwave that shattered the Gale Knight’s restraints and hurled Mo Xing’s group aside.

“You little fools, I’ve told you already!” The Gale Knight swung his spear and charged straight at Mo Xing and the others. “In the face of absolute strength, you’re nothing but trash!”

“Ice Pillar!” Mo Xing countered with his skill.

“Metal Strike!” Wu Dancai fired several missiles from his launcher.

“Useless! Storm God’s Heart!” The Gale Knight roared, spinning his golden spear to unleash a cyclone from his body, sweeping away the ice pillars and missiles.

Suddenly, two bullets—one black, one white—shot toward him. The Gale Knight stopped abruptly, barely dodging as the bullets exploded behind him.

“Who was that?” He spun around in shock—the attack had pierced his Storm God’s Heart aura!

“No comment.” A twin-gunned figure appeared on the upper deck. Mo Xing looked closer—it was Shi Yan.

“Wow! A beauty!” Xiao Ming exclaimed in delight.

“Shut up!” Wu Dancai punched him again.

“This is a battle between men. The lady upstairs should stay out of it,” the Gale Knight said, frowning.

Shi Yan ignored him, squeezing the triggers and firing more bullets.

The Gale Knight kept dodging, refusing to retaliate.

“Roar—” The dragon, unable to stand it, beat its wings and whipped up a cyclone.

“Pipi Xia, don’t interfere! Be gentle with the ladies!” The Gale Knight blocked the dragon.

“Roar—” Pipi Xia shook its head.

“Stop it, Pipi Xia!” the Gale Knight insisted. “Be graceful! Elegant!”

“What’s going on?” Mo Xing wondered. Was the Gale Knight pretending to be a gentleman now?

“Mo Xing! Now! Help me control him!” Shi Yan shouted, firing more bullets.

“Alright!” Mo Xing raised his blade, unleashing Thousand Miles of Frozen, ice elements gathering swiftly around the Gale Knight.

“Easy, sister, let’s talk this out!” The Gale Knight pleaded, forced to dodge the bullets, while chills crept up from behind and from beneath—

Mechanical hands!

“I’ll help too!” Wu Dancai chimed in.

“This is too exciting! The villain falls for the maiden, the youth rises to beat down the scheming foe!” Xiao Ming clapped enthusiastically, the perfect bystander.

“Roar!” Pipi Xia unfurled its wings, forming a fierce aura that shielded the Gale Knight in the center.

Ice elements and mechanical hands were scattered again!

“Hold him!” Shi Yan called.

“Got it!” Mo Xing responded, intensifying Thousand Miles of Frozen. For some reason, Shi Yan always gave others a sense of unwavering reliability in critical moments, like a Valkyrie in battle!

“Control him!” Wu Dancai strengthened his hold on the golden elements, reviving the mechanical hands and sending them toward the dragon’s head.

“Roar—” The dragon summoned a cyclone to repel all attacks, except for Shi Yan’s bullets, which pierced its flesh one by one. The dragon writhed in agony, unable to escape the relentless barrage.

“Now!” Shi Yan seized the moment, preparing to unleash her long-charged ultimate—

Gravity Bullet!

A black-and-white spiral vortex spun rapidly above the dragon, its powerful gravity pinning it down.

Suddenly, the Gale Knight burst from the dragon’s embrace, spear raised, slashing at Shi Yan.

“I’ve had enough!” he roared. “So what if you’re a woman! You’ll get the same treatment! Storm Stab!”

Storm’s divine speed infused his body; he stabbed with blinding swiftness, piercing the heavens!

Shi Yan broke off her casting, hurriedly retreating several steps, but the Gale Knight was so fast that he managed to graze her!

“Shi Yan!”

Mo Xing’s eyes reddened instantly, his heart shaken to its core.
