Chapter 105: Chapter 91: The Mission is Here!_2
"The Third Prince? Pah!"
[]
Meanwhile, in the Second Prince’s bedroom.
"I can confirm that Anonymous is indeed Long Yi."
A girl approached the Second Prince and whispered.
"Oh? That’s splendid. The two people I admire most turn out to be the same person. That saves me a lot of trouble."
The Second Prince showed a delighted smile.
"However, there is a big problem." The girl’s brows furrowed slightly.
"What is it?"
"Long Yi was just targeted for assassination by two Rock-traversing Dragon assassins. Whether he was injured or not is uncertain, but he killed both assailants on the spot. Their Mount Dragons were also killed by Long Yi on the spot. Moreover... their deaths were extremely brutal, it is uncertain whether Long Yi interrogated them before their deaths." The girl reported.
"Assassination? Was it the Third Prince or the Black Dragon Empire? No, it’s more likely the Third Prince!" The Second Prince mused for a moment, a hint of hatred appearing in his eyes. "This Third Prince is more trouble than he’s worth!"

The Elf mentor Yavenny arrived at the White Dragon Knight’s tower, intending to pay Elsa a normal visit, to personally understand the extent to which this prodigious girl in the legend was prodigious.
The one receiving her was naturally a White Dragon Knight. However, when Yavenny requested to see Elsa, the White Dragon Knight told her that Elsa was not in the tower and he didn’t know where she was.
Yavenny was taken aback, then turned and left.
"Strange, she’s not in the tower? Could she already know? Well, since it has come to this, I’ll go to the Blood Coagulation headquarters to take a look myself."

The assassination attempt triggered actions on multiple sides, but the target, Long Yi, had no awareness of being targeted. He felt very pleased that the assassination attempt had resulted in an upgrade. The tenth level of Dragon Fighting Aura meant that Long Yi could let Bajie evolve perfectly as long as he relaxed his suppression of his own Fighting Aura.
However, Long Yi had more considerations. Although he knew a Dragon Mark could make the Mount Dragon perfectly evolve, what about surpassing a Dragon Mark?
If he kept suppressing the Dragon Fighting Aura until he reached the twentieth level and then released the suppression, it would result in forty levels of Dragon Fighting Aura. Adding Bajie’s own power would double again and reach eighty levels! That would be the power of four Dragon Marks!
In history, there have been many instances of perfect evolutions under one Dragon Mark, as well as Ultra Perfect Evolved under two Dragon Marks. But no Dragon Knight has ever evolved their Mount Dragon at the timing of eight Dragon Marks!
Long Yi wanted to try!
He wanted to see what this ultra-ultra-perfect evolution would be!
Special training continued, and Ai Lin, who became serious, was also making constant progress. Gradually, Long Yi, wearing Dragon Scale armour that restricted his movements, found it somewhat difficult to resist Ai Lin’s full attack. Sometimes, Long Yi had to deactivate his Dragon Scale Armour to face Ai Lin’s clever attacks.
It must be said that Ai Lin’s fighting style as a genius was gradually becoming less similar to Long Yi’s. Long Yi’s fighting style was to inflict the strongest damage on the enemy as quickly and powerfully as possible, but this did not entirely suit Ai Lin. As a Magic Fighter, Ai Lin’s power would still be a bottleneck, even if it was combined with the White Dragon. Ai Lin didn’t need power to produce damage; what Ai Lin needed was more speed. The magic contained in her fists and feet would explode with the most significant damage if she attacked the enemy at the fastest speed.
Long Yi once attempted a fully unrestricted duel.
In simple terms, neither Long Yi nor Ai Lin gained any advantages as Long Yi did not attempt any fatal blows, testifying to the power of a Magic Fighter’s attack.
However, Long Yi still believed that Ai Lin’s defense was insufficient at this moment, although her attack power was sufficient. Long Yi had to use fists and feet when going head-to-head with Ai Lin. If he started using a weapon of the Dragon-slaying Sword’s caliber, Ai Lin might not fare so well.
However, Ai Lin wasn’t worried about this at all. She was fully confident in her magic shield and firmly disagreed with the idea of using any rigid metal to block her figure.
Long Yi always thought that it was the little Silver Dragon’s character that influenced Ai Lin’s character. The Dragon Clan looked down on any defense means other than their scales; who else but the Dragon Clan would so reject armor?
Of course, since Ai Lin insisted, Long Yi naturally didn’t say anything more. According to rumors, the Empire’s task would soon be issued. The whole school was unprecedentedly quiet. Almost everyone was studying hard. If someone gains a military achievement in this task, it would definitely save them several years of struggle in their future military career.
Thus, under such atmosphere, the Empire’s task was finally issued.
Hunting assignment - Kill the monsters prowling across various places in the Empire, collect magic crystal cores from the dead monsters to exchange for gold, military achievements, and credits. The Empire will set up hunting stations in various places across the territory. Anyone can exchange their hunted crystal cores for supplies there. However, gold cannot be used in the hunting stations, only the crystal cores obtained from hunting can be consumed.
All the content was almost exactly the same as the previous rumors. However, there was an additional sentence at the end of the task: "Time limit for the task is a weekend that is one week before New Year’s Eve."
It was now mid-October, and New Year’s Eve was on the last day of December. There were still close to two and a half months left. The coverage area was the entire territory of the Empire, there were no restrictions on location or methods. But the kills had to be made personally. Every student’s bracelet had a record of the kills made. In other words, it was absolutely impossible for an entire family to go out and collect the crystal cores.
In simple terms, this hunting task seemed more like a training exercise for the Empire’s warriors.
The monsters targeted for this hunt were set by the Imperial Monster Research Committee into nine levels, from the weakest level one to the strongest level nine. The military honor that could be exchanged increased exponentially. With the assignment issued, each student receiving the assignment also received a simple guidebook, which roughly recorded what level of power could fight against what kind of monster.
For example, the strongest level nine monster, if you didn’t have strength above two Dragon Marks, you better stay far far away. And even with the strength of two Dragon Marks, it would be very tough to fight a level nine monster. The best method would be team fights. Although the military honor would be reduced during the final settlement, it’s certainly better than hurting the enemy a thousand losses and self-inflicting eight hundred.
