I want to see how that proud young man has grown up now—Chiba.
The situation in front of me is somewhat delicate. The Siyimona Sect seems to be hesitating. One Saint of the Underworld, one Lord of the Underworld, and two Nether Sect members have yet to make a move.
In the Azure Dragon Academy faction, the remaining four members of the Saint of the Underworld are somewhat weak. One is new to the Nether Sect, two are Reapers, and the weakest is a warrior-level individual, the child who just spoke, named Xiao Da.
So, while the Azure Dragon Academy has many people, they do not hold an advantage in terms of levels. There is still some gap in strength between both sides, but what I don't understand is what the people from Siyimo are hesitating about... Is it because of that boy named Chiba?
"We did not intend to take action; it was indeed us who injured this ape first, and we accidentally allowed this magical beast to escape here for you to capture," Chiba said.
"Of course, whoever captures the magical beast owns it. It is now in our hands, so it belongs to us," the other side clearly had no intention of backing down.
"Senior, this magical beast is indeed suitable for Xiao Da. We cannot miss this opportunity," a student from Azure Dragon said.
I realized that they were looking for a magical beast for that boy named Xiao Da.
Indeed, that magical beast is quite mature, not too old and easy to tame, and it is already close to level five. This is a rare opportunity. Moreover, Ape-type Beasts are highly intelligent. If it can reach perfection and merge with its master in the future, it would definitely be a terrifying existence.
"To be honest, since we are both from the Demon Clan, I will tell you that Lord Si Yi Mo currently needs a large number of magical beasts, particularly this type of ape. If you are willing to give way today, I will remember this favor in the future. What do you think?"
What? Siyimo needs an Ape-type Beast? Why...
"Hmph, do you think we don't know? If this magical beast goes back with you, it will still meet a grim fate. That devil does not deserve them!" shouted the boy named Xiao Da.
"Bold! You dare say such things about Lord Si Yi Mo! You seek death!"
"Hmph, we are not afraid of her," Chiba protected Xiao Da, coldly snorting.
"Fine! You only bring trouble upon yourselves!" The other side sneered. "Everyone, attack! Kill these little brats!"
I suddenly realized that apes have a special characteristic: their skin! When touched, their skin feels extremely soft but is actually very hard; no hard object can pierce through their skin. Indeed, Ape-type Beasts have long lifespans and are among the longest-lived magical beasts.
Siyimo intends to use their skins to continue the beauty of the demon race... If the skins of the magical beasts are stripped away and attached to the skin, it can eliminate wrinkles and shed the layers of aging skin, as if being reborn.
However, with the number of demons, relying solely on these Ape Beasts is not enough. No matter how many are killed, they cannot satisfy their needs.
It's too cruel! It's simply insane!
Siyimo has truly lost her mind; why are her actions so detestable!
"Xiao Da, step back," Chiba said to the remaining four.
"Senior, we—" The four stepped forward, wanting to help.
"I said, step back," Chiba insisted.
"Understood." The four Students moved aside, but I noticed that there was not much worry on their faces.
Indeed, the four Students did not have the strength to join this battle; they could only entangle for a moment, which would distract Chiba even more.
"Xi Meng, are you sure he can handle it alone?" Xiaopu asked worriedly.
"Whether he can or not, we can't intervene at this moment... Siyimo's people won't let us off either," I sighed. If we attracted more of Siyimo's forces, it would be even harder to escape.
This was also why I refrained from intervening; right now, we were barely managing on our own, especially since Xiaopu's level was not high. Protecting her while helping them would be quite challenging.
"Yeah, I... understand," Xiaopu said somewhat dejectedly.
How could I not want to help them? It's just that our situation is also very dire.
I looked at the situation with difficulty; one against four... However, I somewhat believed in that young man not far ahead. Recalling his stubborn demeanor from years ago, yes, perhaps he really does have that strength.
"Black Tiger, now!" Chiba shouted loudly.
A tremendous roar echoed.
I was startled!
Is that the voice of a dragon?!
Suddenly, a gust of wind swept through, and sand and gravel flew up before my eyes.
Xiaopu suddenly felt a bit light-headed and was about to fall off the tree. I grabbed her, "Xiaopu, hold on."
"Oh my gosh, Xi Meng, is that a dragon?!" Xiaopu didn't care at all that she almost fell; instead, she looked at the scene before her in shock.
"Yes," I replied.
The giant dragon did not reveal its full length, only about ten meters long, but it did not diminish its imposing presence.
The Tiger-striped Flying Dragon had a black body adorned with striking tiger stripes and a pair of powerful wings. While it wasn't as famous as the larger dragon species from Dark Corner, it was still considered above average. It was incredibly fast and agile, with the most impressive feature being its two pairs of razor-sharp claws.
However, this dragon was not very numerous and did not have any particularly special traits, which is why it did not gain much fame. When we captured several major dragon species earlier, we did not include the Tiger-striped Flying Dragon for this reason. However, now it seemed that Dark Corner had likely been unified long ago.
"Wow, this is the second time I've seen a dragon... The last time was during your competition against that formidable opponent; many students were stunned back then," Xiaopu exclaimed.
Indeed, dragons were rarely seen in the Underworld. Previously, they had been imprisoned, and only a few powerful beings had the ability to capture dragons; ordinary people could not see them.
So no matter how strong Chiba was, with his current strength, he could never hunt a dragon unless that dragon willingly acknowledged him as its master.
I couldn't help but wonder if there really were dragons backing Azure Dragon Academy; were they planning to join forces?
"Sure enough," the Saint of the Underworld from Siyimona Sect seemed somewhat afraid of the giant dragon but still tried to maintain composure.
It should be noted that they originally had no guarantee of victory, and now with an additional giant dragon, things had indeed become tricky.
"Since Black Tiger has appeared, it would be too unsatisfactory not to let it eat a few inner cores as a reward," Chiba sneered.
The others visibly trembled; indeed, no one wanted to provoke a dragon. Even the most formidable magical beasts were somewhat inferior in front of dragons, especially since these few individuals had limited strength.
"I, I tell you, don't be arrogant. Do you think that killing us is the end? When Lord Si Yi Mo's people come looking for us, none of you will escape!"
"You're really useless—" Chiba said nonchalantly.
Suddenly, Chiba's gaze sharpened, and he shouted, "Go, Black Tiger!"
The Tiger-striped Flying Dragon charged at the four, while the Saint of the Underworld quickly dodged to the side. The Lord of the Underworld was somewhat flustered but managed to avoid serious harm.
However, the remaining two Ming Zong were not so fortunate; they were swallowed whole by Black Tiger.
"Poof poof—"
A gust of wind blew towards the two who had narrowly escaped but were now frozen in shock. They saw several pieces of clothing being spat out from the giant dragon's mouth, accompanied by a look of disdain.
"Don't eat me!" The two immediately fell to their knees, trembling like leaves in the wind, desperately pleading for mercy.
"Senior, we can't just let those two go!" one Student said.
"That's right. Even if you let them go now, they won't spare anyone from Azure Dragon Academy in the future!"
"We won't do that—we won't!" The pleas of the two had not finished before they were abruptly replaced by a scream, "Ah—!"
The Tiger-striped Flying Dragon burped, looking dissatisfied.
……
"Senior, you summoned Black Tiger as soon as you came up. What should we do if we attract Siyimo's people... How about we stop here? I'm not in a hurry to find magical beasts; let's leave quickly," a Reaper Student suggested.
But Chiba did not respond. His gaze swept over our direction intentionally or unintentionally, and I felt a jolt in my heart. Had we been discovered?
"Of course, we don't need Black Tiger to deal with those small fry; the real enemy is—" Chiba abruptly stopped mid-sentence and shouted loudly, "Snow Leaf, go—"
Suddenly, the leaves on the surrounding trees were enveloped in ice and snow, transforming into leaf-shaped ice blades that flew towards me and Xiaopu.
“Xiaopu, be careful!” I shouted, immediately positioning myself in front of Xiaopu.
“Pure Sound Armor, defense—”
Ice blades sliced through the protective barrier, producing faint “scrape, scrape” sounds, yet they did not penetrate the defense.
“Fire, Dance of Fire, go—”
Fire Fan flapped its small wings and appeared on my shoulder, launching fireballs at the ice blades. Each time a fireball struck an ice blade, it excitedly laughed with a hissing sound.
To Chiba, the attack seemed weak, as if it were just playing a game.
Countless ice blades were instantly melted by the fire's assault. Chiba was clearly taken aback, not expecting to have its attack countered so easily.
“Black Tiger, go!” Chiba shouted again.
“Stop, we are not enemies—” I quickly called out.
But the other side seemed unwilling to back down, staring intently at our movements.
I had no desire to engage Chiba in battle, nor did I want to harm them. However, seeing the approaching form of the Tiger-striped Flying Dragon, I had no choice but to take out the Horn Flute.
“The Smile of the Spider Lily, everyone stop—”
This tune was not overly forceful and did not use much Nether Energy. All I wanted was for them to cease their actions.
The Tiger-striped Flying Dragon sensed the Nether Energy and its body visibly stiffened, looking at me in fear while emitting a piercing howl.
I couldn't help but feel a bit guilty; it seemed that the dragon race was truly frightened by this Nether Energy...
“Black Tiger!” Upon hearing the howl of the Tiger-striped Flying Dragon, Chiba shouted loudly.
Seeing that giant dragon lying on the ground, too scared to move, I put away the Horn Flute and slowly descended onto the Ground.
"Who are you?" Chiba looked at me and Xiaopu warily.
"Hey, which of your eyes sees us as people from Siyimo? How could you mistake us for enemies?!" Xiaopu shouted as she stepped forward.
"Xiaopu," I pulled on Xiaopu's arm from behind.
Chiba looked at us with some confusion, still not relaxing.
"Hey, can't you even remember your own savior?!" Xiaopu scoffed.
Chiba clearly looked even more puzzled, staring at Xiaopu in disbelief.
"It's her, don't you remember?!" Xiaopu pulled me over to her side, and Chiba's gaze instantly focused on me.
Chiba had a stunned expression, his mouth twitching, completely losing the calm and proud demeanor he had just moments ago.
"It's you?!" Chiba said.
I thought he wouldn't remember, but I was surprised by his reaction. Feeling a bit embarrassed, I nodded and replied, "Yes, I am Xi Meng."
