Chapter 212: Chapter 155: Am I Not?_3
"Look, this is something I really want to know what it is." Long Yi said.
After sending three people flying, Long Yi and Ai Lin quickly left the dining hall and were on their way. All the while, Ai Lin was deep in thought.
This problem stumped Ai Lin completely. She held Long Yi’s hand for a long while but still could not figure out what that dark golden arc was. Firstly, it definitely wasn’t Mana, and it certainly wasn’t Fighting Aura either. It was more like a new form of energy that existed beyond these two. Yet, it still bore a distinct Dragon Power.
"I... I don’t know either. Brother Long, where did you get this?" Ai Lin gave up, even with her knowledge, she couldn’t identify where this thing came from.
"Library..." After releasing the arc, Long Yi felt increasingly weak. He spoke in a soft, drained voice, then slowly described how he obtained the ’Gluttonous Snake’ to Ai Lin.
After hearing his story, Ai Lin was stunned. She looked at Long Yi’s gloomy face and said with a wry smile, "Brother Long, you...you are really gutsy! You dare to mess with that!"
"What, is it very dangerous?" Long Yi asked.
"It’s more than dangerous! This is a rule!" Ai Lin whispered very quietly.
The so-called rule, literal to its meaning, represents a high-end way of exerting power. Normally, when a Dragon Knight uses some advanced techniques, they need to chant the corresponding dragon language to activate the Dragon Power. That is the use of a specific rule within the dragon language. Of course, this is the most basic and bottom-line technique of using rules, guiding Dragon Power on how to operate. But the high-end rule is to use Dragon Power itself, without any changes to Dragon Power, directly causing devastating damage to the enemy.
This way of exertion is more direct and stronger.
In the Dragon Knight Academy, there are several places protected by high-end rules. The library is one of them.
Of course, ordinary people only know this much.
"Brother Long, tell me, what’s your strongest power level?" Ai Lin asked in a very low voice. Despite it being low, some passersby with sharp ears heard her, and they all perked up their ears. Long Yi’s real strength was the biggest buzz in the Dragon Knight Academy. Some even speculate about Long Yi’s strength in the academy’s underground gambling ring.
Long Yi swayed his increasingly heavy head, pulled Ai Lin’s hand, and gently drew a few strokes.
Fifty-two!
Ai Lin was shocked in her heart. This was Long Yi’s real strength! A full fifty-two layered Fighting Aura! That meant Long Yi had the power of two Dragon Marks plus twelve-layered Fighting Aura! This level of power could join the main force in the regular army!
Ai Lin had guessed Long Yi’s power level more than once and had tried hard to speculate, but she never imagined that Long Yi’s strength could be so powerful!
"Brother Long, although you are very strong, the rule you are dealing with is not something that a power level like yours can control. If I’m not wrong, your fatigue is not the result of staying up all night, but the rule itself is continuously consuming the power of its owner, which means you!"
Ai Lin lowered her voice again to ensure that no one could hear what she said.
"Really?" Long Yi forced a smile.
"Yes, the rule represents the ultimate use of power. If the body is not fit, the rule itself becomes a huge burden. Especially like you, forcibly confining the rule in your arm."
"I didn’t exactly force it." Long Yi felt like crying but had no tears. He only did it for fun, having no idea that the chain was hiding such a powerful object. If he had known...well, he probably still would’ve impulsively grabbed it.
Yes, that’s the kind of person Long Yi was.
"Alright then, do you have any solutions?" Long Yi asked weakly.
"No." Ai Lin’s knowledge reserves couldn’t answer this question.
"Then, let’s get someone to help us ask for a leave, and go to the Imperial Magic Research Institute to ask our magic tutor." Long Yi said helplessly. Just yesterday he was thinking about his magic tutor, not expecting today he would be forced to go and find him.
The two were lucky, they met two classmates on the way. With the beauty (Ai Lin) leading the effort, obtaining a leave was easy. Then, Long Yi and Ai Lin immediately embarked on their journey to the transportation station. There, the two rented a Thunder Eagle to the Imperial City.
The Thunder Eagle is a large aerial predator with a certain degree of intelligence and strong endurance. A grown Thunder Eagle can carry a struggling rhino in its claws and fly almost a hundred kilometers.
At some point, an old Thunder Eagle, either out of frustration or sudden enlightenment, helped a wealthy person escape from a forest predicament. The rich man, in gratitude, gave the Thunder Eagle a gold coin and told it that it could exchange the gold coin for food.
Soon, the entire Thunder Eagle family knew this method. Some old Thunder Eagles who couldn’t hunt anymore came to the human world to work for gold coins. This was their way of caring for themselves in old age, although young Thunder Eagles scoffed at this idea.
The fact is, the food that the old Thunder Eagles could buy with their gold coins was much more delicious than what they could hunt, because the gold coins bought human food after all.
The seat on the back of the Thunder Eagle was for two people. Ai Lin sat in the front and Long Yi sat behind her. All the way, Long Yi felt himself becoming increasingly weak. He tried hard to perk up, but his Giant Bloodline seemed to have lost response, no matter how much he called upon it, it remained dormant.
"Damn, am I not a Giant?" Before fainting, Long Yi muttered these unclear words from his mouth. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to qidian.com and vote for it, your support is my greatest motivation. If you are reading this on a mobile, please go to m.qidian.com)
