When Hank Niu saw the two Earth Dragons, he was extremely excited and kept circling around them. At that moment, Little Black approached Hank Niu and said, "Hank Niu."
"What is it, Master?"
"Hank Niu, although Earth Dragons are not true dragons, they are still descendants of the dragon lineage. They possess the prideful nature of dragons. These two Earth Dragons are both Eighth Rank magical beasts, and your current cultivation level is only that of an Intermediate Knight. Therefore, the gap between you and them is quite significant. I cannot force them to sign a contract with you, as that would violate the dignity of their kind. If you want them to become your Mounts, there is only one way—defeat them and make them willingly become your Mounts. Can you do that?"
"Master, how should I go about it?"
"Listen carefully, all three of you. We will have a one-on-one competition. Hank Niu, you cannot use any weapons. Trihorn Earth Dragon and Bladehorn Earth Dragon, you are not allowed to use any magic either. You will rely solely on your strength for this match. Do you understand?"
The person and the two beasts nodded in unison. "Alright, the first side to be knocked down ten times loses. Trihorn Earth Dragon and Bladehorn Earth Dragon, discuss who will go first."
After a brief discussion, Bladehorn Earth Dragon stepped forward first. In terms of raw strength, Trihorn Earth Dragon was indeed stronger than Bladehorn Earth Dragon, so having Bladehorn Earth Dragon go first was a smart tactic.
At this point, Hank Niu was already prepared and stood in the arena, about five meters away from the first challenger, Bladehorn Earth Dragon.
Bladehorn Earth Dragon quickly expanded its body to a height of two meters and a length of three meters, making it perfectly proportioned for combat against Hank Niu.
Hank Niu was also fully prepared; his explosive muscles made him appear quite terrifying—indeed terrifying—something that ordinary humans could never possess.
Little Black glanced at both sides and announced, "Begin."
With that command, Hank Niu and Bladehorn Earth Dragon charged at each other simultaneously. As they closed in, Hank Niu grabbed both of Bladehorn Earth Dragon's horns while being pushed back over two meters before he steadied himself.
It was just a simple collision, yet the soldiers watching were astonished. In their minds, how could human strength compare to that of an Earth Dragon? But today they witnessed someone truly capable of using their muscular strength to confront an Earth Dragon.
After Hank Niu grabbed the horn of the Bladehorn Earth Dragon, the dragon shook its head violently, trying to throw Hank off. However, it truly underestimated Hank's strength. Hank's powerful arms firmly stabilized the dragon's head, and then he forcefully twisted to the left.
An astonishing scene unfolded as Hank Niu managed to topple the massive Bladehorn Earth Dragon. With a loud crash, the dragon's body collided with the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Hank Niu, this Little Guy, was full of energy. After bringing down the Bladehorn Earth Dragon, he flipped over and climbed onto its neck, simultaneously releasing his right hand. His fist, as large as a small pot, rained down on the dragon's neck and head, causing it to roar in distress.
Although the Earth Dragon had a thick layer of Dragon Scales that greatly enhanced its resistance to magic and physical attacks, it did not mean it could ignore these blows. Especially Hank Niu's fists; the sheer impact was enough to leave the grounded Bladehorn Earth Dragon dazed.
After taking several punches, the Bladehorn Earth Dragon desperately tried to get up. However, Hank Niu on its neck was not going to let that happen. If it were an ordinary human, even Liu Guanfeng would have been able to rise and throw off their opponent. But this was Hank Niu—a towering figure over two meters tall and weighing over five hundred pounds. Initially, Hank had nearly been thrown off by the Bladehorn Earth Dragon.
At this moment, Hank Niu was displeased: "You dare to get up? I won't let you!" As he spoke, he pressed down with his left hand while his right fist continued to rain down blows.
The Bladehorn Earth Dragon found itself in a difficult position; it wanted to rise but was being held down by its neck. Forcing itself up could lead to serious neck injuries. After struggling for a while, the dragon finally gave up resisting and let out a low growl before becoming still.
However, Hank Niu was unaware and prepared to continue his assault. At that moment, Little Black suddenly spoke up: "Hank Niu, stop! The Bladehorn Earth Dragon has already conceded."
Just as Hank Niu was about to raise his fist again, he immediately jumped off the dragon's neck upon hearing Little Black's words and approached him: "Master, does that mean I won?"
Liu Guanfeng and Shangguan Junhong couldn't help but laugh; after such a fight, they weren't even sure if he had won. This Little Guy was indeed quite simple-minded.
Little Black nodded: "You won the first match. Now we will proceed to the second match. Both sides prepare."
Upon receiving the command, Hank Niu stood back in the center of the arena. The previously toppled Bladehorn Earth Dragon got up but did not move to the other side; instead, it slowly approached Liu Guanfeng's side. This meant that although no contract had been signed, the Bladehorn Earth Dragon had already considered itself Hank Niu's mount.
The second challenger was the Trihorn Earth Dragon. Unlike the Bladehorn Earth Dragon, all three horns on top of Trihorn Earth Dragon's head pointed forward. Charging at opponents with its horns was one of Trihorn Earth Dragon's primary attack methods. Behind it was a long tail adorned with ten sharp spikes; using its tail to strike enemies could inflict significant damage—these were Trihorn Earth Dragon's two main attack techniques.
When Hank Niu saw the Trihorn Earth Dragon, he realized that it would not be easy to deal with. The sharp horns at the front could easily injure him if he wasn't careful, and the tail at the back was also a formidable threat.
At that moment, Little Black shouted, "Start."
After the command to start, Hank Niu did not rush forward recklessly. Instead, the Trihorn Earth Dragon charged towards him. Just as it was about to collide with Hank Niu, he quickly jumped to the right to evade the impact. However, before Hank Niu could regain his balance, the tail of the Trihorn Earth Dragon swung towards him. Fortunately, this time the dragon did not use its bony spikes on its tail. Even so, the sheer force of the tail still caused Hank Niu significant trouble.
Struck by the dragon's tail, Hank Niu staggered backward seven or eight steps before finally losing his balance and falling to the ground. At that moment, Little Black announced, "Hank Niu has been knocked down once."
Hank Niu rolled over and got back up to continue dodging the Trihorn Earth Dragon. Although he had just been hit by the tail, his body was as solid as steel. After rubbing the area that had been struck for a moment, he was ready to fight again.
Seeing Hank Niu back on his feet, the Trihorn Earth Dragon wasted no time and charged again. This time, Hank Niu learned from his previous mistake and did not jump too far; he only shifted his body a step to the right. However, this small adjustment was still insufficient, and he was sent flying by the dragon's body.
"Hank Niu has been knocked down twice," Little Black reported calmly.
"Hank Niu has been knocked down three times."
...
"Hank Niu has been knocked down seven times."
At this point, Shangguan Junhong became anxious and said, "Big Brother, what should we do? Hank Niu has been knocked down seven times already."
Liu Guanfeng smiled slightly and replied, "Second brother, there's no need to worry. Hank Niu is slowly figuring out how to dodge; just watch."
Shangguan Junhong turned back to look at Hank Niu. Although he was still dodging, he was doing much better now. The Trihorn Earth Dragon's charge had failed to knock him down three times in a row. Moreover, since he was now very close to the dragon's body, its tail attacks were rendered ineffective.
Moreover, the current Hank Niu was not just dodging; he was also trying to figure out how to attack. Just as the Trihorn Earth Dragon's head charged past Hank Niu, he reached out with his left hand to grab one of the dragon's horns. He managed to grab it accurately, but he underestimated the Trihorn Earth Dragon's momentum and was sent flying as a result.
The reason the Trihorn Earth Dragon exerted such force was that it did not want to underestimate its opponent like the Bladehorn Earth Dragon had done, only to be subdued by the other side.
"Hank Niu has been knocked down eight times."
"Hank Niu has been knocked down nine times."
"Brother, that's nine times already. If Hank Niu gets knocked down again, he'll lose. We can't waste such a good Mount," Shangguan Junhong said anxiously. After spending a few days together, Shangguan Junhong had grown increasingly fond of Hank Niu, the immensely strong giant. He had even come to regard Hank Niu as a brother, so he was more anxious than Liu Guanfeng about reclaiming the Mount.
After being knocked away this time, Hank Niu landed not far from Liu Guanfeng. At that moment, Liu Guanfeng called out, "Hank Niu, come here."
"Master, what is it?"
"Hank Niu, when you grab the Trihorn Earth Dragon during its charge, don't just stand still. You can run forward with it; this way, the impact you feel will be much less. Then you can wait for your opportunity."
"Master, will that work?"
"Just try it and you'll find out."
"Alright then, Hank Niu will go meet that Little Guy again." With that, Hank Niu walked off with a smile.
"Brother, do you think this method will work?"
"As long as Hank Niu does well, I think it should be fine."
At this moment, the Trihorn Earth Dragon charged forward once again. Hank Niu nimbly dodged to the right and then reached out with his left hand, grabbing one of the dragon's horns with a loud "bang." Using the momentum, Hank Niu quickly turned and pressed against the Trihorn Earth Dragon's head, running forward together with it.
This time, the Trihorn Earth Dragon did not shake Hank Niu off. As it ran, it attempted to ram Hank Niu with its head, but Hank Niu seized the opportunity to grab another horn with his right hand. At that moment, Hank Niu's muscles rapidly expanded, and the speed of the Trihorn Earth Dragon began to slow down. Just as the dragon's body came to a halt, Hank Niu shouted, "Ah! Fall back!"
With that command, the Trihorn Earth Dragon's body was forcefully flipped onto the ground, just like the Bladehorn Earth Dragon before it. The subsequent process was no different from that of the Bladehorn Earth Dragon; Hank Niu mounted the Trihorn Earth Dragon's neck and unleashed a flurry of relentless punches on its weakest spot—the neck.
Due to the energy expended during previous charges, the Trihorn Earth Dragon had exhausted much more energy than Hank Niu. After being taken down, it had no strength left to struggle and only moved symbolically a couple of times before receiving another barrage of punches. Ultimately, the Trihorn Earth Dragon had no choice but to concede defeat.
"Hank Niu, get down; the Trihorn Earth Dragon has surrendered."
"Okay." Hank Niu jumped down from the Trihorn Earth Dragon, which lay powerless on the ground. The Bladehorn Earth Dragon approached from Liu Guanfeng's side and used its horn to nudge the Trihorn Earth Dragon until it stood up.
Little Black came before the two Earth Dragons: "Are you both willing to accept this? Do you want to become Hank Niu's mount?"
The two Earth Dragons exchanged glances and nodded in unison. "In that case, Hank Niu, go ahead and contract them."
"Alright." After agreeing, Hank Niu approached the two Earth Dragons. At this point, they no longer held their previous pride. As Hank Niu stroked them, both Earth Dragons rubbed their heads against his palm. After a while of petting, Hank Niu stood up and called out to Liu Guanfeng:
"Master, I have mounts now! But I don't know how to contract them." Hank Niu's voice was loud enough to elicit laughter from the surrounding soldiers.
Liu Guanfeng shook his head and approached Hank Niu, explaining both methods of contracting. Under Hank Niu's guidance, two Hexagram Arrays appeared in front of each Earth Dragon. The Bladehorn Earth Dragon signed a master-servant contract with Hank Niu, while the Trihorn Earth Dragon signed an Equal Contract.
After successfully signing the contracts, Hank Niu joyfully mounted the Bladehorn Earth Dragon and began running nonstop. After about ten minutes, he returned and switched to riding the Trihorn Earth Dragon.
