Chapter 341: Hope of Defeating a Gold Level
Even Bu Quan, who had given him the spell scroll, had not realized that it would bring such a reward.
At the time, she said to the dragonman youngster, “I hope this scroll will be of some help to you.”
It wasn't until now that Bu Quan realized what a great gift she had given the dragonman youngster!
A powerful weapon!
A trump card!
“If you lose this duel, then you won't have lost to just me,” the dragonman youngster said loudly.
Struck by the sudden gratitude, Bu Quan's body trembled, and her eyes reddened slightly.
“You cunning dragonman, but in this situation, it's not your turn to declare victory!”
Teng Dong Lang swung his whip and took the initiative to pounce on the dragonman youngster, shouting coldly, “This battle has only just begun.”
"Go! Charge!" Countless spectators cheered for the dragonman youngster.
The members of the Bayonet Gang cheered for their leader.
Amidst the excited atmosphere, the dragonman youngster did not engage in a passionate battle but instead retreated intensely.
He picked up the golden longbow, crossbow, and quiver with arrows left in the corner, and began to shoot from a distance while moving.
His tactics had changed again!
This scene greatly surprised the excited spectators.
But after they reacted, they could only accept this fact with strange and bitter expressions on their faces.
A calm analysis showed that the dragonman youngster's tactical choice was undoubtedly the most correct.
The dragonman youngster now had the advantage of the terrain, while Teng Dong Lang was suffering in the Lava Hell, constantly being weakened.
Teng Dong Lang had just used a Battle Qi Syringe, restoring his battle qi reserves to their peak, and his combat effectiveness was still intact.
The dragonman youngster, on the other hand, was injured and needed time to recover.
The members of the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps knew even more key information.
The Grand Arena Medal!
With this equipment, the longer the dragonman youngster stalled, the greater the increase he would get.
Before, there was no way.
If the dragonman youngster didn't stop him in advance, Teng Dong Lang's Base would quickly spread throughout the dueling arena, giving him such a great advantage that the dragonman youngster would be quickly defeated.
Now, the dragonman youngster had the advantage in time.
The dragonman youngster's tactical choice made Teng Dong Lang's face even more ugly.
This kind of clever enemy was the most troublesome.
Seeing Teng Dong Lang's expression, Bu Quan smiled like a flower.
It had been many years since she had seen her enemy suffer so much, being toyed with by a silver level battle qi cultivator in front of everyone.
This made her feel the joy of revenge.
“Even if you lose, Commander Long Fu, you have already met my expectations by coming this far.”
“After this duel, I will send you three more pieces of equipment!”
“Gold level.”
“Don't ask about the price.”
“It's a gift.”
Teng Dong Lang saw through the dragonman youngster's tactics and naturally tried his best to catch up and bring him within his attack range.
However, based on the information he had obtained earlier, the dragonman youngster knew that he was best at mid-range attacks, so he did not let his guard down in the slightest and did his best to maintain a long distance.
Teng Dong Lang naturally had a set of tricks for fighting distant enemies, which allowed him to close the distance between them.
However, when the dragonman youngster was hit by his battle skill, his speed dropped dramatically, and he was forced to clash with Teng Dong Lang, but by then, he had already shot all the arrows in his quiver!
The dragonman youngster held a short spear in one hand and clenched his fist in the other and clashed with Teng Dong Lang again.
He had thrown the short spear before and tried to retrieve it.
Teng Dong Lang had anticipated this and used it as bait to lure the dragonman youngster to pick up the spear, thereby bringing him within his attack range.
After a few attempts, the dragonman youngster saw through Teng Dong Lang's trap and had no intention of picking up the spear again for a short time.
With a spear in one hand and a fist in the other, he could use both spear and fist techniques, which gave him much more combat options than if he had two spears or two fists.
“What I need to do most now is to stall for time.”
“Let the effect of the Grand Arena Medal increase.”
“At the same time, I can still take hits in battle and recharge the energy of the Sword Return Dragon Scale!”
The dragonman youngster did not seek to achieve anything, but only to avoid mistakes, fighting while retreating.
Teng Dong Lang chased after him, constantly sneering and taunting him with his words, but to little effect.
After all, the dragonman youngster was weak against the strong, so he had no burden in using such tactics.
On the other hand, Teng Dong Lang, as a gold level battle qi cultivator, was unable to defeat the dragonman youngster for a long time, which greatly damaged his reputation.
Teng Dong Lang became increasingly angry and frequently used his battle skills.
The dragonman youngster's Diamond Body had recovered, and he relied mainly on this defense to struggle against Teng Dong Lang's attacks.
Teng Dong Lang specialized in ice battle skills, which he was skilled at using, and when used in combination, they were even more unpredictable.
Despite his best efforts to dodge, the dragonman youngster was still frequently hit.
There was no way around it, his movements were too monotonous, rushing straight ahead and sideways, making it easy to predict his movements.
After being hit, the cold air corroded the dragonman youngster's body, slowing down both his movement speed and attack speed.
Fortunately, the Cold Heart Ice Bag allowed the dragonman youngster to counteract the negative effects of the cold air corroding his body.
There was another key factor.
Before the battle, the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord had given the dragonman youngster a batch of dragon beast materials.
After the dragonman youngster swallowed them with his Bloodcore, his white dragon bloodline increased.
The Bloodcore had long since undergone a mutation, giving the dragonman youngster some basic frost resistance.
Although it was only basic, it triggered a qualitative change, allowing him to narrowly resist the negative state.
Teng Dong Lang's prolonged attack and frequent use of battle skills led to a sharp increase in battle qi consumption.
The dragonman youngster was also in a difficult situation.
There were several hair-raising moments when the defensive aura of the Diamond Body was broken by Teng Dong Lang.
His Golden Silk Chainmail was extremely tattered.
His dragon scales were broken, and the youngster's skin was covered with whip marks.
However, with the Automatic Blood Bottle, the Grand Arena Medal, and the recovery abilities of his legendary bloodline, the dragonman youngster was able to endure the pain.
He had brought medicine with him this time as well.
But since Teng Dong Lang took the initiative to attack, his offensive was continuous and endless, and they worked together, not giving the dragonman youngster any time to take medicine.
Not to mention using Life Scorching Dragon Breath.
Facing such a strong enemy as Teng Dong Lang, using such a big flaw in his technique was tantamount to begging for defeat and death.
"We can win this battle! The commander will definitely win." Lan Zao's face was determined, his eyes shining brightly.
“Although the situation is difficult, we do have a chance of winning.” Men Shi nodded in agreement.
He now admired the dragonman youngster greatly.
After all, Teng Dong Lang was at the gold level.
Not only had the dragonman youngster not been defeated, but he had also persisted in fighting until now, and there was even hope of victory!
Although he had turned the tables with a spell scroll, Men Shi felt from the bottom of his heart that the dragonman youngster deserved it.
It was all because of the dragonman youngster's hard work and fighting skills that had supported him and brought him to this point.
He deserved it!
Tripleblade's expression was complex as he exclaimed, "If he wins this duel, the commander will gain unimaginable fame! And the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps will also benefit greatly."
“It's not that no one at the silver level has ever defeated someone at the gold level, but those are basically special circumstances.”
“Today, both sides are fighting at full strength, and in front of so many spectators; a rare occurrence in the Ice Sculpture Kingdom for the last decade.”
"As long as he defeats Teng Dong Lang in this battle, the commander will be famous throughout the kingdom. Our mercenary corps will rise to become the most sought-after one!"
The gap between the silver level and the gold level was obvious.
Precisely because the vast majority of people couldn't do it, if the silver level won, it would be all the more precious!
Tripleblade once led a mercenary group and was quite knowledgeable about their business and future prospects.
Upon hearing this, Men Shi became even more excited.
But at the same time, he also became worried and immediately asked, "Doesn't our identity matter? After all, we are outsiders, and we have a background as arms dealers..."
Men Shi was not one of the survivors, so he was not yet qualified to know the core identity of the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps.
Tripleblade smiled and shrugged indifferently, "What's there to fear? We're a mercenary group registered through official channels. Even if they suspect us, they'd have to find the Mercenary Guild first."
Tripleblade added in his mind, "Besides, we have no connections to arms dealers. Even if the Ice Sculpture Kingdom wanted to investigate us or gather evidence of our criminal records, it's impossible."
“If they can't investigate us, they can't cause us trouble.”
“They might even overestimate us because of this, and out of fear, they won't dare to take action easily.”
Men Shi was reassured and couldn't help but have higher expectations for the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps and his own future.
He stared at the dragonman youngster in the fierce battle and muttered, "How is the energy storage of the Sword Return Dragon Scale? It should be almost full, right?"
Men Shi was even more eager to see the dragonman youngster turn the tables and win with the Sword Return Dragon Scale.
The Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps' audience area was full of anticipation, but in contrast, the atmosphere in the Bayonet Gang's VIP viewing room was solemn, and the leaders were worried.
Xiong Ju frowned deeply and Ban Lan Gen stopped shouting as he revealed a bitter expression.
Spring Boxer also looked nervous. Although he admired the dragonman youngster, he was more inclined to see his own gang leader win.
Bing Xiao was, after all, the former gang leader, and seeing this situation, he spoke up to boost morale: “There's no need to worry too much.”
"Even if the Sword Return Dragon Scale successfully accumulates energy, it still needs the right moment to release it. Before, it was because the gang leader stood still that he was easily hit."
“If Commander Long Fu rashly unleashes his sword qi, it is very likely that the gang leader will be able to dodge it.”
“His best tactic should be to fight the gang leader at close range.”
“Only at the closest distance can he maximize the chance of his sword qi hitting the target.”
“But it's not that easy to achieve this.”
“You have to believe in the gang leader, he won't let Long Fu succeed easily!”
Without a doubt, the Sword Return Dragon Scale was the dragonman youngster's trump card.
Not only the two combatants, but also the forces behind them and the countless spectators were thinking about this key factor.
Suddenly, a dazzling white-hot sword qi erupted from the Sword Return Dragon Scale!
