X-Dragon Era-Chapter 277 - s 211-213 Final Assessment_5

Controlling Yinglong, Xin Yun arrived at the arena with a smile on his face, looking across to the other side before loudly declaring, "Alright, I choose Ming Xuan from the second-grade segment as my challenge target!"

"Wow!" Upon hearing Xin Yun’s words, those from the first-grade segment didn’t care much, but the students from the second-grade segment cried out in surprise, discussing amongst themselves, "Who is this kid? His information is so spot-on, he immediately knew who was the weakest among us."

Setting aside how the second-grade segment’s students were pondering, on the other side... Yi Luo Xiang and Yan Qingying suddenly stood up, their faces deathly pale. Although Xin Yun hadn’t said it, with their understanding of him, how could they not know what Xin Yun was about to do!

On the other hand, Ming Xuan also stood up with a pale face. His feelings for Xin Yun were more of respect and gratitude. In this world, aside from his mother, Xin Yun was the only one who treated him kindly and like a brother.

In every aspect, Xin Yun was someone Ming Xuan deeply admired. Speaking of smoothness, he had nothing but the highest praise for him. As of today, Ming Xuan didn’t even qualify to participate in the training matches with Xin Yun’s group. A stray shot, by accident, would be enough to completely destroy him, which showed the might of Xin Yun, Yi Luo Xiang, and Yan Qingying.

Originally, Ming Xuan had held a glimmer of hope for this challenge. If he had met a weaker opponent, perhaps he could have continued to stay in the second-grade segment. But now... Xin Yun had been the first to call out his name, how could he not be panicked!

Although he had been in contact with Xin Yun for a long time, in truth, Ming Xuan’s understanding of him was not very deep—mostly respect and admiration. Therefore... he didn’t understand the purpose behind Xin Yun’s choice. In his view, there was no suspense in the outcome; it was all about how Xin Yun wanted him to lose.

Lost in thought, Ming Xuan summoned the Peacock Dragon and floated onto the arena. Separated by a hundred meters, he gazed deeply at Xin Yun, opened his mouth wanting to ask something, but in the end, no question came out.

Looking deeply at Ming Xuan, Xin Yun said with a smile, "Ming Xuan! Now that you’re on the field, let’s have a spirited battle. Come at me with everything you’ve got, show me how much you’ve progressed in these three years!"

Hearing Xin Yun’s words, Ming Xuan’s eyes instantly lit up. He took a deep breath, firmly nodded, and upon seeing this, the umpire loudly announced the start of the match!

As the umpire declared the start, Ming Xuan instantly sprang into action. The Peacock Dragon turned into a green blur, howling as it darted toward Xin Yun, its beak and claws attacking in a frenzy.

The battle that followed doesn’t need to be described with words. Although Ming Xuan had strong skills, his own strength was simply too feeble. It was like a mage, no matter how skilled, can’t engage in close-quarters combat with a samurai.

After more than five minutes of struggle, finally... Ming Xuan retreated as fast as lightning. Throughout the fight, though it seemed intense, Ming Xuan knew that Xin Yun had only been on the defensive, allowing him to showcase his skills. If Xin Yun had chosen to strike, a single blow would have likely caused him to collapse immediately.

Watching the swiftly retreating Ming Xuan, Xin Yun shook his head in admiration, almost breathless with praise. Ming Xuan had already achieved it; although the Peacock Dragon lacked a formidable body, superior speed, and explosive power, he had managed to control the Peacock Dragon to an incredibly refined level.

In the past, there was a saying on Earth: "becoming one with the horse." That’s right... Ming Xuan had now achieved the state of becoming one with the horse, except... in his case, it wasn’t a horse he had become one with, but a dragon.

The moment Ming Xuan stood upon the Peacock Dragon, he himself disappeared. At that moment, the Peacock Dragon was him, and he was the Peacock Dragon, indistinguishable from each other, nearly pushing the Peacock Dragon’s power to its limit. Yet even so, the Peacock still was just that—a peacock, unable to contend with an eagle.

Yet, even if it wasn’t possible now, even if a peacock cannot defeat an eagle, once the peacock turns into a phoenix, even an eagle would be no more than prey. The current Ming Xuan was like a phoenix on the brink, just waiting for the day of rebirth to burst forth with a brilliant radiance!

"Huff... huff... huff..." While Xin Yun was contemplating, Ming Xuan was panting heavily. In those five minutes, he had wholly, thoroughly unleashed all his techniques, using his most powerful combat skills, but even so, he hadn’t been able to damage a single hair on Xin Yun.

Now, his energy was depleted, his techniques exhausted; there was no need to continue fighting. You see... Xin Yun hadn’t even begun to exert his real strength. This battle, there was never even a sliver of a chance of victory.

Raising a trembling hand, although very reluctant, Ming Xuan knew that Xin Yun’s refusal to hit hard was to save him face, allowing him to concede defeat on his own accord. This way, it would be beneficial for both sides. (To be continued. If you wish to know what happens next, please visit www.qidian.com.
