Chapter 188: Chapter 147: Difference_3
"Because I recognized the gap between us, I know I’m no match for Long Yi! How ridiculous it is that I was even considering challenging him!" Lei Zhen’s eyes were burning with intensity.
"Huh? It’s rare for you to admit that someone’s better than you!" The second prince laughed.
"Hmph, why would I ever admit anything to those flashy fools? Long Yi’s skills and strength are tangible and real! Unlike others!" Lei Zhen retorted.
This battle allowed Lei Zhen to truly understand Long Yi, and the second prince too saw Long Yi in a new light. This was the power of two Dragon Marks. Even if Long Yi had brought them forth through some special means, he’d first need to possess strength matching two Dragon Marks to handle them.
Just what else could Long Yi achieve?
No! The question should be asked this way.
"Long Yi ah, is there anything in this world you can’t do?" The second prince boldly asked.
"Yep, giving birth." Long Yi answered with a chuckle.
Ai Lin next to him immediately blushed.
Afterwards, Lei Zhen, who had recognized his own shortcomings, solemnly apologized to Long Yi and also issued a challenge. Lei Zhen decided to seclude himself for intense training. He had always considered himself a genius. Although he indeed was a genius, he only realized how much compacted air there was in the so-called genius after seeing Long Yi. In his youth, Long Yi’s skills and strength were far superior to his! Those days of looking for people to challenge everywhere, were now as unbearable as slapping himself in the face!
"Give me six months. After six months, I will undoubtedly defeat you!" Lei Zhen said to Long Yi.
"I accept your challenge six months in advance, but I must sternly tell you, you don’t stand a chance. Because not only are you training hard, so am I." Long Yi replied.
Everything in the Imperial City had concluded. Originally, Long Yi planned to visit Elsa at the Guardian Dragon Knight Tower, but Elsa was still on her mission. Frustrated, Long Yi sought an audience with the White Dragon Group Leader on the spot, wondering if the Group Leader was insane. Couldn’t he just get anyone to do this trivial task? Wasn’t it too much to keep assigning tasks to a young and delicate girl like Elsa?
However, today the Group Leader was out on a mission. There were only two Dragon Knights, the least powerful ones, on guard in the entire Guardian Dragon Knight Tower. The rest of the White Dragon Knights had all gone on missions.
After learning that all the White Dragon Knights had left, Long Yi basically figured out the situation. There must be a conflict on the frontier. The Empire had dispatched all the White Dragon Knights to handle it.
So, the situation on the frontier is still unstable, isn’t it?
Since Elsa wasn’t there, Long Yi naturally had no reason to linger any longer. He left the Imperial City with Ai Lin and headed back to Academy City.
However, just as they arrived at Academy City, they found out that the area outside the academy was already overcrowded.
"Are they welcoming some big shot?" Looking at the sea of people, Long Yi asked Ai Lin.
"Unlikely! These people seem disorderly, as if they’re just here for the spectacle." Ai Lin responded.
"Spectacle? Is someone performing chest-breaking stone here?"
"What’s so special about that?" Ai Lin was confused. Chest-breaking stone was something any Dragon Knight could do. What’s so strange about that?
"No, I was just making an analogy... you see, chest-breaking stone is a rare sight..." Long Yi couldn’t explain the intended meaning to Ai Lin, he could only obscure and luckily, Ai Lin was not one to dig into things.
Long Yi’s luck was not bad. He quickly found Wesley, the most likely person to know about this.
Wesley, with his neck stretched, was still watching from afar. The Chef and Mosquito brothers were also around him. The three of them must have just finished training, as their sweaty bodies hadn’t dried yet.
"Hey, has any extraordinary beauty appeared?" Long Yi walked over and patted Wesley’s shoulder.
"Brother Long? You’re back!" Seeing Long Yi, Wesley was delighted. In the noisy crowd, The Chef and Mosquito didn’t notice Long Yi’s arrival and kept staring in the distance.
"Yes, I just got back. I saw the entrance was blocked, and when I spotted you among the crowd, I decided to find out what’s happening." Long Yi liked excitement, but this was a bit too much, even for him.
"Hahaha, Brother Long, you didn’t know! Today, a big shot is coming!" Wesley said mysteriously.
"A big shot? How big? As big as a Giant?" Long Yi joked.
"How could that be! There are no Giants in this world! Of course not! The big shot coming today has something to do with you! It’s the Sea Emperor! The Sea Emperor! Our Emperor has traveled all the way from the Imperial Capital!" Wesley excitedly yelled.
Then, The Chef and Mosquito finally noticed Long Yi’s arrival.
"Boss, finally you’re here, we thought you’d miss the spectacle!" The Chef shouted happily.
"I’ve always been lucky." Long Yi responded with shameless confidence.
Long Yi’s heart was tumultuous at this moment because of Wesley’s words: "Where are there Giants in this world?"
Wesley loved reading books, doing historical research, and collecting all sorts of information and rumors. Such a person, with absolute certainty, told Long Yi that there’s no Giant in this world. Didn’t that mean that there really were no Giants in this world?
But this was impossible. Long Yi was certain that he, himself, was a Giant, albeit one whose power had been sealed. Long Yi was so sure because all the knowledge he inherited told him so. Black Dragon Tyl had told him the same, as had Succubus Yavenny.
Which meant there were Giants in this world, but ordinary people simply didn’t know! (To be continued. If you like this novel, you’re welcome to vote for it on qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users can read on m.qidian.com.)
