Volume One: The Awakening of the Dragon Soul Chapter 79: Unity! Alliance!-The Dragon and the Boy(Shwey Moonlight)

"Shiyan!"

Mo Xing’s eyes reddened instantly, and he rushed forward, but without the ability to fly, he couldn't help at all.

"Ahahaha, everyone must die!" The Storm Knight swung his golden spear at Shiyan.

A greyish-white shadow flickered behind Shiyan, her speed and agility surged dramatically, and she dodged the attack.

Shadow Step!

A must-have skill for the dual-gun profession, it greatly enhances mobility and agility, making guerilla warfare effortless.

"Ahahaha, your speed increased?" The Storm Knight continued his assault, his own speed also boosted by the hurricane. "I told you, in the face of absolute power, you are nothing!"

As soon as he finished, a massive blue-and-white hand suddenly grabbed him.

Frozen Water’s Grasp!

"Wu Danze! Take the shot!" Mo Xing shouted.

"Got it!" Wu Danze raised the Dragon’s Roar and launched a blue-white stun grenade at the Storm Knight.

"Damn it!" The Storm Knight, unable to break free from the giant hand, was struck squarely by the stun grenade.

"Double Explosive Shot!"

Shiyan raised her weapons and fired several rounds, bullets bursting upon impact.

"Beautifully done!" Xiao Ming cheered.

"Roar—"

The dragon spread its wings, rushed over, and swallowed the Storm Knight whole, then flew into the darkness.

"Trying to escape?"

Just then, the group of senior brothers who had vanished earlier suddenly appeared, blocking the dragon’s path and unleashing various skills.

"Brothers! Go!"

It was Gou Ge who shouted, and everyone unleashed their signature moves, giving the dragon a fierce beating.

"Unbelievable! These guys show up now?" Xiao Ming protested indignantly. "They’re blatantly stealing assists!"

"Roar—"

The dragon roared, releasing a powerful hurricane that blew everyone away, then vanished into the night.

"Let’s chase!" Gou Ge called.

"Don’t!" Shiyan warned. "The situation outside the Divine Ark is unclear!"

"We mustn’t split up now," Mo Xing agreed, realizing the situation was far from simple.

From the Storm Knight’s words, as a Dragonkin, his strength should be formidable—he shouldn't be defeated so easily. Mo Xing had delayed hoping for Mentor Su Yunzhu to intervene, but the dragon simply took him and fled?

A ruse?

Or a diversion?

"Damn it! We finally had him and now he’s gone?" Gou Ge cursed. "You may not care about credits, but I do!"

"Is it worth it?" Wu Danze retorted. "Risking your life for a few credits?"

"I can't be bothered with you," Gou Ge snapped. "Brothers, let’s chase!"

"Yes!"

The other senior brothers followed Gou Ge, leaving only Mo Xing, Shiyan, Wu Danze, and Xiao Ming on the deck.

Shiyan descended the stairs from the upper deck.

"Are you alright, Shiyan?" Mo Xing hurried over.

"I’m fine, just a minor injury." Shiyan shook her head, covering her shoulder wound with her hand.

"My god, it’s serious!" Mo Xing saw the blood soaking her clothes. "Let me help."

He took a bandage from the Titan’s Ring, supported Shiyan’s arm, and tended her wound as he’d learned.

"Mo Xing..." Shiyan was surprised.

"Don’t move. I need to clean the wound, or it’ll get infected." Mo Xing worked carefully, his heart pounding.

"Mm..."

Shiyan smiled, saying nothing more.

"Ugh, late at night and still forced to watch this lovey-dovey stuff," Xiao Ming shrugged nearby.

"You talk too much," Wu Danze punched him again.

By the time Mentor Su Yunzhu and the others arrived, Mo Xing had finished bandaging Shiyan.

They reported attacks from the Dragonkin at other Divine Ark locations. Under Mentor Su Yunzhu’s lead, the attackers were repelled. Some wanted to pursue, but the mentor stopped them.

When Su Yunzhu learned that Gou Ge had led a group in pursuit, he merely shook his head and said, "If they’ve gone, so be it. Fate will decide."

After discussing the situation, everyone returned to rest.

Of course, some couldn’t sleep, including Wu Danze. They stayed behind to watch over chatterbox Xiao Ming and patrol the Divine Ark.

After two sudden incidents in one day, few could rest easy.

This invasion revealed flaws in their teamwork. If Zhang Zhihao were awake, perhaps this would be resolved.

Mo Xing glanced at the still-comatose Zhang Zhihao...

During the Divine Ark’s descent, Zhang Zhihao’s leadership united everyone and saved the day.

It’s like a band—with a lead singer, guitarist, bassist, drummer, and keyboardist. Clear division of labor is essential for great work.

Teamwork really matters...

Mo Xing tossed and turned in bed for a long time before finally drifting to sleep.

...

Elsewhere.

A magic carpet glided smoothly through the air.

A young man slowly opened his eyes, realizing his surroundings had changed drastically.

"What the hell! Where am I?" Xiao Feng cursed. Wasn’t he on a date? Suddenly everything went dark, and now it was nighttime and he was on a magic carpet instead of the evening path in the back hills.

Beside him sat Li Xiangcao and an old man.

"Young man, mind your manners," the elder smiled, turning his face.

"Old geezer, where are you taking me?" Xiao Feng was bewildered, then turned to Li Xiangcao. "And you, why did you trick me?"

"What do you mean? Trick you how?" Li Xiangcao asked, puzzled.

"You wrote me a love letter, lured me to the back hills, then knocked me out! Joined forces with this old guy to kidnap me!" Xiao Feng shook his head, frustrated.

"Are you crazy? Why would I write you a love letter?" Li Xiangcao shot him a glance. "Besides, I don’t even know you!"

"Wah! You’re treating me like a stranger now! What do you want from me? I’ll give you money, just spare my kidneys!" Xiao Feng wailed, clutching his head.

"You really are something else. I have no idea what you’re talking about," Li Xiangcao hurriedly moved to sit beside the old man.

"Mr. Shen, where is this magic carpet heading?" Li Xiangcao asked.

"I don’t know where those who kidnapped us intend to take us," Mr. Shen stroked his beard.

"Our kidnappers?" Xiao Feng was confused. "Wasn’t it you two who kidnapped me?"

"Of course not!" Li Xiangcao shook her head. "After school, I was walking back to my dorm when someone appeared behind me and knocked me out."

"What? That violent?" Xiao Feng frowned. "No sense of chivalry?"

"Yes, quite violent," Mr. Shen nodded.

"When I woke up, I was on this magic carpet," Li Xiangcao explained. "You were still unconscious. I only managed to wake Mr. Shen, who had suffered the same ambush."

"Really?" Xiao Feng was skeptical.

"Yes, I still have marks on my back! Want to see?" Mr. Shen slowly lifted his shirt.

"No, no! Nothing worth seeing on an old man!" Xiao Feng waved dismissively. "No chest, no abs!"

"In any case, the three of us are temporarily allied," Li Xiangcao said. "Let’s look out for each other."

"Alliances, marriages—what’s the point?" Xiao Feng shrugged, taking out a piece of paper from his pocket. "I’m confused—the person who tricked me not only disguised themselves as you, but also mimicked a girl’s handwriting..."

"What’s this paper?" Li Xiangcao asked.

"A love letter—" Xiao Feng was about to hand it over when a night wind swept it away.

"Ah! My love letter!" Xiao Feng lunged for the fluttering paper, but a strong hand pulled him back.

"What are you doing!" Xiao Feng shouted at Mr. Shen, who had grabbed his shirt.

"If you fall, we can’t save you," Mr. Shen said calmly. "None of us can fly."

"I have wind magic!" Xiao Feng insisted. "I can fly if I want!"

"We’re tens of thousands of meters above ground. If you think you won’t die, feel free to try," Mr. Shen chuckled.

"Uh..."

Xiao Feng hesitated, then sat back down.

"You grew up in the Imperial City, right?" Mr. Shen paused. "Never traveled by airship to other continents?"

"No," Xiao Feng shook his head. "My family’s rich, but they never let me wander."

"Ha, I thought so," Mr. Shen coughed. "Trying to fly at this altitude with wind magic—you have no concept of the vastness of the skies."

"True," Xiao Feng admitted. "My theory classes were taught by that jerk Xue Dinghai—never learned a thing."

"Haha, let me give you a lesson," Mr. Shen began. "Our world consists of five continents and countless floating islands."

"The Imperial City is on the largest continent—the Main Continent. To the east is the Parallel Sky, also called the Eastern or Celestial Spirit Continent. Heading north, across the Cloud Bridge, you reach the Dragon Continent. There’s also the Western and Antarctic continents, awaiting you young pioneers."

"Your lectures are way more interesting than Xue Dinghai’s," Xiao Feng shrugged. "I’ll pay you ten times his salary—teach in his place?"

"Haha, you’re joking," Mr. Shen sighed. "I’m old, only fit to sweep floors and do chores. Teaching isn’t for me anymore."

"Why so pessimistic? You should keep going!" Xiao Feng said, then turned to Li Xiangcao. "By the way, Xiangcao, where are you from?"

"Me?"

Li Xiangcao, who had been listening quietly, looked up.

"Yes," Xiao Feng nodded.

"A place where joy and pain coexist," she paused, then said,

"Dragon Tooth Island!"

-------Idle Chatter at the Cliff-------

Today was a full day of classes, listening and doing homework—spare time went to writing. Sigh, it’s been a month since I played any games.
