Chapter 591 Martial Arts Battle
After Prime Minister Turtle announced the results, no one around him had any objections or anything like that. After all, at the Dragon Assembly, the judges were the authorities.
Even if Ye Ru wrote such a fine poem by accident, he wasn't so lucky in the second fight.
This martial arts competition is all about real skill. Even if you can write poetry, it's just a tool to aid in the battle, and it's only for human literati. The dragon race has dragon power and doesn't need poetry to enhance them at all.
"I wonder if my poem suits your taste, Brother Long."
Ye Ru's lips curled into a mocking smile, making Long Dao want to kill him. He had mocked Ye Ru so much before, and the latter was no kind person either, so naturally this time he would make Long Dao unhappy as well.
"Hmph, you were just lucky this time. I wonder how you're going to fight me this round."
'You're just a lowly scholar; comparing yourself to us is tantamount to suicide.'
Taking a deep breath, Long Dao suppressed the anger rising within him and then coldly addressed Ye Ru.
"If that's really the case, then I'll have to trouble Brother Long to broaden my horizons."
Ye Ru was not angry. Instead, he bowed to him and said...
Although Ye Ru's words didn't seem deliberately targeted, they still angered Long Dao. He then flicked his sleeve, looked at the Turtle Prime Minister, and said:
"Your Excellency, there is no time to lose. Let's proceed with the second round of combat."
"Alright, let's begin the second match."
Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Turtle nodded in agreement, then stood up, glanced around, and said, "This second martial arts competition is of utmost importance to our Four Seas Dragon Society. It has little to do with the first literary competition, but the number of tokens obtained is double that of the first round. Therefore, this competition will require the four of you to give it your all."
"Ye Ru won the first round because of his human identity, but the second round is a bit uncertain. I wonder if the Dragon King of the East Sea will still have confidence in Ye Ru."
The Dragon King of the West Sea turned his head and said.
Although Ye Ru obtained twenty chips, the difference between Long Dao and Ye Ru was not significant. If Long Dao won in the second round, the difference in their chip counts would be enormous.
At that time, no matter how hard Ye Ru tries, he will not be able to defeat Long Dao, and the final result of this Dragon Tournament will be settled.
"Hehe, I can't say for sure, but I have confidence in Ye Ru. After all, he is the number one scholar among the human race."
Having gone through what happened before, the Dragon King of the East Sea was clearly less worried about Ye Ru.
In his view, Ye Ru was a person capable of creating miracles.
Seeing that his words had no effect, the Dragon King of the West Sea raised an eyebrow and then looked at the Dragon Platform.
"In this round, we will use a draw to determine our opponents, and the final match will be contested by the winner of this first game."
"The points for the competition are as follows: the winner of the first round has 20 points, the winner of the second round has 30 points, and the winner of the final round has 10 more points on top of the minimum of 30 points, for a total of 40 points. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
After a moment, fearing that Ye Ru and the others might not understand, Prime Minister Gui emphasized it again.
"understood."
Ye Ru nodded, which meant that if he won the finals, he would get forty points.
The three of them, Long Dao, also nodded solemnly.
"In that case, come and draw lots."
Having said that, Prime Minister Turtle waved his sleeve and took out a cylindrical tube with four gold tokens of the same color on it.
Ye Ru and the others walked in that direction and each took out a gold token.
Number four.
Ye Ru glanced at the gold token in his hand, memorized the number, and handed it to the Turtle Prime Minister of the East Sea Dragon Palace. The other three also gave their tokens to the prime ministers of their respective dragon palaces.
"Okay, the draw results are in now. These draws have four numbers, from one to four. The matches will be between odd-numbered players and between even-numbered players."
"I hereby declare that Dragon Path will face Dragon Heart."
"Ye Ru versus Long Xiao."
The Prime Minister of the Turtle glanced at the other numbers, then announced them to the crowd and spoke loudly.
"They actually dared to challenge the Dragon Path; this is truly the end for them."
Long Xin rubbed his temples, looking helpless. He knew that Long Dao was the strongest among the three of them. Even if he and Long Xiao joined forces, they would probably only be able to fight Long Dao to a draw.
This is really a headache.
When Ye Ru heard that he would be fighting against Long Xin, he shrugged indifferently. The East Sea Dragon King had already told him about the characteristics of these people, so he just needed to be careful.
"Hmph, consider yourself lucky you didn't meet me in the first match. I hope you can win this one so I can take care of you myself."
Long Dao glanced at Ye Ru and said in a cold voice.
Upon hearing this, Ye Ru simply smiled at him again. The best way to deal with an enemy is to underestimate him.
"Alright, let's begin the match now."
Ye Ru and Long Xiao left the venue, leaving only Long Dao and Long Xin behind.
"I didn't expect my opponent to be you this time. You won the first game, but I won't let you win this time."
Ye Ru and Long Xiao walked side by side. After a moment, Long Xiao couldn't help but say something.
"Just wait and see. I won't hold back either. I'm going to teach that Long Dao a lesson."
Ye Ru nodded, showing no sign of seriousness despite Long Xiao's words.
“Teach Long Dao a lesson? You’re dreaming. Do you know Long Dao’s true strength? Even if Long Xin and I join forces, we can only fight him to a draw, and we can’t defeat him at all. Just watch, Long Xin will be defeated in a moment.”
Long Xiao smiled dismissively, his gaze fixed on Long Dao and Long Xin, who had already begun their fight, and said.
Even so, I will fight to the death.
Ye Ru said calmly.
"Then I'll watch closely and see who's better, you or me."
After Long Xiao finished speaking, he stopped talking. Ye Ru was too lazy to communicate with these arrogant guys and looked towards Long Dao.
It must be said that although Long Dao was arrogant, he did have the ability to be arrogant. He suppressed Long Xin in just a few moves.
However, Long Xin was someone who had once led three thousand dragon soldiers to defeat an eight-thousand-strong demon army. His combat strength and acuity were also top-notch. Although he was temporarily suppressed, he remained calm and continued to defend against Long Dao's relentless attacks. For a time, no matter how fierce Long Dao's offensive was, it was firmly blocked by Long Xin.
"This Dragon Path is indeed quite capable. Its offensive is ferocious, and its defense is as immovable as a diamond. Whether it is offense or defense, it is just right."
Ye Ru frowned as he looked at Long Dao, seemingly trying to discover more weaknesses in the other party.
Although Long Xiao was strong, he was far from being someone he should be wary of. On the contrary, it was Long Dao who had repeatedly mocked him before.
Even with his temper, he couldn't swallow this insult.
He also wanted to teach these arrogant guys a lesson and show them that although he was a human and had come to the dragon race, he was not a sheep to be slaughtered.
"It's almost over."
The smile on Long Xiao's face slowly faded, and he finally spoke in a deep voice.
He could sense that the dragon power within Long Xin's body had become very thin, and once Long Dao launched another swift attack, Long Xin would definitely not be able to withstand it.
Sure enough, at a certain moment, Longdao transformed into a giant golden dragon, its tail striking the dragon shield released by Longxin.
A dull thud rang out, Long Xin's face turned pale, the dragon shield in front of him shattered, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, falling to the ground some distance away.
This scene drew applause from many people. They were dragons, born warriors, and naturally admired those with great strength.
Although Long Xin was defeated, he won their admiration, at least he did not surrender without a fight.
"In this round, Longdao won and gained thirty chips."
"And Long Xin has obtained twenty tokens!"
