Chapter 219 Discussion
Of all the base leaders present, almost all of them were either superhumans or awakened beings. The strongest of them all was Li Chenglong, who was already a level 10 awakened being. After being strengthened by Teacher Lena and having a G-Crystal transplanted into his body, he could easily defeat opponents of the same level and even win relatively easily against those in the early to mid-stages of level 11.
The second strongest is Shangguan Jingyun, the city lord of Black Gold City. She is an S-class level 9 killer whale awakener, skilled in water and strength abilities. She is also the strongest awakener Li Chenglong has ever seen besides Yun Lan, Erica, and Cecily. In terms of combat ability alone, Erica might not even be as strong as her. Next are Gao Shixin, a level 9 wind and earth dual-elemental ability user; Xu Qingming and Wei Huasheng, both level 8; and Sun Tianlong, an level 8 ability user.
The team Li Chenglong brought this time is also the strongest overall. Ma Tiancheng is currently a level 5 fire-type ability user, Feng Tian recently became a level 7 fire-type ability user, and Zhao Liying has even become a level 8 awakened user. Among the 10 accompanying special forces members, Yang Liu is a level 8 wood-type ability user, Wang Shuang is a level 8 dark-type ability user, Han Xiaoling is a level 8 Wind Chaser Leopard awakened user, and Wu Ruilan, Dong Meng, and others are all level 7 ability users.
At noon, when everyone got off the bus to rest at the temporary camp, Shangguan Jingyun suggested sparring with Li Chenglong. She couldn't find anyone in her own base who could match her, and she felt a bit like a lone wolf seeking an undefeated opponent. She had long heard that Li Chenglong of Shuguang City was ranked first in the Eastern Military Region in terms of combat ability. If it weren't for her status, she would have come to Shuguang City to challenge Li Chenglong long ago.
Li Chenglong looked at the blazing sun outside and said, "This isn't quite right. It's really too hot." Shangguan Jingyun said, "Then let's finish this quickly and decide the winner within five minutes." Li Chenglong knew that he had to spar today. Besides killing a level 10 beast, he hadn't had much combat recently, so it would be good to warm up his body.
The two arrived at an open area, and when everyone heard that they were going to have a spar, they all gathered around to watch. Many people cheered for their leader, and the people from other bases certainly couldn't miss this opportunity, watching intently.
Shangguan Jingyun summoned her bound weapon, the Giant Abyss Twin Forks, holding one in each hand, and slowly released her energy, preparing to unleash her full power. Seeing how serious Shangguan Jingyun was, Li Chenglong felt it would be unacceptable for him to be nonchalant. He immediately summoned his Dragon Emperor Sword, and the moment he drew it, the sounds of dragons and phoenixes harmonizing rang out, and the scabbard vanished.
The battle was about to begin. The two exchanged five or six blows in the blink of an eye, and then began to compete in strength. Shangguan Jingyun gritted her teeth and gathered all her strength into her double forks, trying to push Li Chenglong back. However, Li Chenglong was still holding the sword with one hand. With a powerful swing, Shangguan Jingyun was forced to retreat.
However, as she retreated, she threw the double forks in her left hand at Li Chenglong. Li Chenglong deflected them with his sword and was about to charge forward when he heard someone shout, "Raging Wave Shockwave!" A powerful stream of water rushed towards Li Chenglong. Li Chenglong clenched his left fist and instantly released a golden dragon-shaped energy, which dispersed the water. Even after the water was dispersed, the power of the dragon fist remained undiminished, and it struck towards Shangguan Jingyun. Shangguan Jingyun waved her left hand, and the forks in the distance returned to her hand. Then, she held the double forks and thrust them at the energy wave of the dragon fist. The golden dragon shattered as soon as it touched the tip of the forks.
Zhao Liying, Yang Liu, and the others nodded in unison. This person was indeed quite powerful. Although the strong water flow had weakened the power of the Dragon Fist, only Yun Lan could probably shatter the energy wave of the Dragon Fist with a single blow.
The two then clashed again. In truth, in front of so many people, Li Chenglong wasn't using his full strength, only about 50% of his normal power. If he were in his Dragon and Phoenix Blood Unleashed state or fully armored form, the battle would probably have ended much earlier. The two exchanged blows for dozens of rounds, neither able to gain the upper hand.
Shangguan Jingyun quickly retreated more than ten meters, frowned and said, "Lord Li, you don't need to hold back. I also want to see how big the gap is between me and a level 10 Awakener. If you keep fighting like this, even if we fight until dark, there will be no result." Li Chenglong nodded, "Alright then, but Lord Shangguan, you should be careful."
Shangguan Jingyun assumed an attack stance: "Bring it on!" Before she could finish speaking, Li Chenglong vanished instantly. Then she felt a blow to her back, stumbled forward several steps, and before she could regain her balance, Li Chenglong reappeared before her, grabbed her right hand, and flung her into the air. Before she could understand what was happening, and unable to control her body in the air, Li Chenglong, already high in the sky, gripped her right hand and spun her around like a hammer thrower. Shangguan Jingyun tried to resist, but at such a height, she had no leverage and was powerless to do anything.
Li Chenglong spun around forty or fifty times, flinging Shangguan Jingyun like a hammer to a distance. Then, he used spatial teleportation to stop her behind Shangguan Jingyun. Shangguan Jingyun was seeing stars and had no idea which way was which. Li Chenglong helped her land gently on the ground and then brought out a chair for her to sit down.
Shangguan Jingyun vomited as soon as she sat down. With the help of her assistant, she drank some water and rested for five minutes before recovering. Shangguan Jingyun gasped, "What kind of technique is this? You can teleport and fly."
Li Chenglong took out two washed Flame Fruits and gave them to Shangguan Jingyun, scratching his head sheepishly, "Thank you for the favor. That wasn't teleportation, it was just spatial movement. I can move between different spaces, and I can fly too. These are Flame Fruits. If you eat one, the discomfort will definitely lessen."
Shangguan Jingyun looked at the two fruits covered with flame patterns, took one out and ate it. The fruit was very fresh, sweet and sour, and very juicy, with almost no residue. Moreover, just as Li Chenglong had said, after eating a Flame Fruit, her dizziness and nausea completely disappeared, and she felt much more energetic.
Just as she was about to speak, special forces member Wu Ruilan came over to report: "Team Leader Li, leaders, there is a behemoth that looks like a level 10 monster rapidly approaching us. It may have been attracted by the energy generated from the battle just now, and this behemoth seems to be able to conceal its aura. We just discovered it."
Sun Tianlong said, "All advanced ability users, prepare to fight. Everyone else, help pack up your things. We're going to evacuate." Li Chenglong looked at the giant beast in the distance and said, "Everyone just parked the car, set up your things, and were about to eat and rest. Don't bother. I'll take care of it. But the crystals it drops are mine, hahaha."
Han Xiaoling smiled and said, "Brother, are you going to use that move? I heard from Cui Si that your form has been upgraded again, but we haven't seen it yet." The other special forces members, Zhao Liying, Ma Tiancheng, and Feng Tian all looked at Li Chenglong with curious eyes. Li Chenglong was a little embarrassed: "You can just watch. This is also my first time using the upgraded armor."
As he spoke, a dragon-patterned belt appeared in his right hand: "Radiant Dragon Armor, combine!" He placed the belt on his stomach, and immediately the straps extended from both ends and fastened together. A dragon appeared in the light sphere in the center of the belt, followed by a dragon's roar. The red light emitted by the light sphere covered Li Chenglong's entire body.
A few seconds later, the light gradually faded, and everyone was surprised to find that Li Chenglong had transformed into the appearance of Armor Hero and Kamen Rider from the television broadcast, although there were definitely some differences in appearance. The biggest difference between the Yaolong Armor and the previous Sunrise Armor was that the light sphere used to be on the stomach after combination, but now it had moved to the chest, and the appearance had changed from the previous three colors to two colors: red and gold.
Li Chenglong slowly rose into the air, facing the giant beast that was rushing towards him at a height of over ten meters. He placed his fists on his chest and shouted, "Ultimate Energy Cannon!" After charging for ten seconds, a huge burst of red energy shot towards the giant beast in the distance. The giant beast was instantly pierced through by the red energy, and after taking a few steps, it exploded violently. Even the people in the camp could feel the strong energy waves and the ground shaking from afar.
Li Chenglong deactivated his transformation mid-air and slowly landed on the ground, slightly out of breath. He said, "Yang Liu, help me pick up my spoils. Thanks for your hard work." Yang Liu and the two special forces soldiers nodded and rushed off into the distance. At this moment, Shangguan Jingyun was looking at Li Chenglong with astonishment. Sun Tianlong walked up to Li Chenglong and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "You're pretty good, kid. You're so powerful now, instantly killing a level 10 behemoth."
Li Chenglong waved his hand with a smile, "It's nothing, it's nothing. Everyone, hurry up and have a meal and rest. We'll travel this afternoon and arrive at Black Gold City before 7 pm." After a while, Yang Liu and the others returned. Han Xiaoling handed a chestnut-sized golden crystal to Li Chenglong, "Brother, this is the first time I've seen a crystal of this color. What level is it?" Li Chenglong smiled and said, "A level 11 golden crystal. We've struck it rich!" Zhao Liying's eyes widened, "Level 11? Doesn't that mean the giant beast we just saw was at least level 11?"
"Shh." Li Chenglong whispered, "I didn't want to cause too much of a commotion just now, so I said that the giant beast was level 10. You guys should keep that a secret too. Go eat quickly and get some rest."
The group ate a meal together as a unit, and then went to rest.
