Dragon Transformation in the Apocalypse

Chapter 316 1 vs 4 (Part 2)

The moment Lilith announced the start of the match, Li Chenglong had already dodged. To win this battle, he had to prioritize defeating either Li Xue or Lei Qingcheng, both of whom were support-oriented awakened characters. Li Xue's Heroic Anthem buffs her own team, and as she levels up to level 11, the buff becomes incredibly powerful, increasing her team's attributes by 25%.

Lei Qingcheng, on the other hand, excels in illusion and control magic, especially iridescent mist and scale powder. One can block people's vision, and the other can mark enemies, making it easier for her to find their tracks. In addition, scale powder has some mild toxicity, which will weaken the enemy's attributes for a short time.

Yunlan and the other three women exchanged glances and nodded. Li Xue instantly unleashed her Hero's Song, boosting the attributes of her three teammates. Lei Qingcheng then released her Illusory Mist, instantly shrouding one side of the arena in a pale purple mist, obscuring what was happening inside. Li Xue raised her Azure Staff: "Ten Miles of Frost!" A layer of frost gradually formed on the arena ground, making movement extremely difficult. However, this move had a drawback: while the enemies were affected by the frost and their movements were hindered, their own side was also affected.

Yunlan, wielding the Flaming Phoenix Spear, and Shangguan Jingyun, holding a Giant Abyss Twin Fork in each hand, engaged Li Chenglong in battle. Because he and the four of them had agreed beforehand to use their true strength, Li Chenglong also drew his Dragon Emperor Sword. "Explosive Dragon Phoenix Charge!" "Twin Dragon Raging Waves!" Yunlan and Shangguan Jingyun unleashed their skills at Li Chenglong from two different directions. The moment the two energies struck him, Li Chenglong leaped into the air to dodge, but the two energies didn't collide and dissipate; instead, they veered and flew towards Li Chenglong in the air.

Just as Li Chenglong was about to parry with his sword, several ice arrows shot towards him at high speed. If he were hit by these ice arrows, he would definitely suffer a direct strike from the two energies below. Li Chenglong's entire body flashed with red light, and he used spatial teleportation to dodge this almost certain attack. The three skills collided in mid-air, producing an explosion like thunder, causing the audience to cover their ears.

However, as soon as Li Chenglong used spatial teleportation to arrive elsewhere, he was immediately discovered by Lei Qingcheng, who was marked by the Linfen. Lei Qingcheng's weapon was also her own exclusive weapon, the "Seven-Colored Halberd." The halberd had seven colors all over its body, and when infused with spiritual energy, it would emit a faint seven-colored glow. It was 1.8 meters long and weighed 20 kg. Ordinary people would find it difficult to wield, but for an 11th-level Awakened, it was a piece of cake.

The four immediately unleashed their offensive skills, attacking Li Chenglong. He once again used spatial teleportation to dodge the attack. Seeing that their attacks were repeatedly missing, the four knew that continuing like this would only waste their spiritual energy. Except for Li Xue, who was still using Heroic Anthem to support him from behind, the three in front wielded their weapons and engaged Li Chenglong in battle.

Li Chenglong's left eye had turned completely gold, and a dozen winding cracks extended from his left eye onto his left cheek, with countless golden energies flowing within them. This was the state of the True Dragon's Eye fully open, allowing him to clearly see every movement of his enemy. He himself held the Dragon Emperor Sword in his right hand and a Dragon Fang Dagger in his left, engaging the three women in battle. As the pale purple smoke gradually dissipated, everyone witnessed this spectacular scene.

Watching the match from the sidelines, Feng Tian excitedly slapped his chair and exclaimed, "Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! This is a modern-day version of the Three Heroes battling Lü Bu!" The other officers and soldiers of the Dawn Army watched the scene intently, not wanting to miss a single second. The top 100 superhumans on the China Power Ranking, including Dinghai from the Hohhot base and Xu Chu from the Anxi base, were stunned by the battle shown on the live stream. Frankly, if they had participated in this battle, they would have been defeated long ago.

The three women cooperated perfectly, putting their full strength into every move. However, they were surprised to find that even with the boost from Li Xue's Heroic Song, which gave them a 25% attribute bonus, and even in a 3-on-1 siege, Li Chenglong remained calm and composed, parrying and deflecting their attacks time and time again.

The three exchanged a glance and simultaneously activated their psionic forms. Li Chenglong, after studying the materials left by their teacher, Reina, discovered that Erica's previous statements about psionic forms were somewhat incorrect. According to Hailanxing's records, the psionic form should be a form that any high-potential awakener could activate. However, certain conditions were required: the level must be higher than 9, and the potential must not be lower than A-grade. This didn't mean that A-grade level 10 awakeners would definitely activate the psionic form; it only meant they had a chance to do so. The higher the level, the higher the probability of activation. For example, Li Xue hadn't activated her psionic form yet, Yun Lan activated it at level 10, and Lei Qingcheng and Shangguan Jingyun both activated it at level 11.

After activating their psionic forms, each person's attributes only increase by 10%, but the flow of psionic energy and the power of their skills will increase significantly, and their moves will be much more ferocious than before. As expected, the battle situation changed after the three of them activated their psionic forms. Li Chenglong in his normal state gradually found himself unable to withstand the onslaught, and even the Dragon Fang Dagger in his left hand was shattered into three pieces by a heavy blow from Yun Lan.

Taking advantage of the moment, the three women exerted their strength together, sending Li Chenglong flying. At this moment, Zhao Liying in the live broadcast room screamed in disbelief, and the audience in the studio were also astonished. They were shocked not only by the power of the three women's psionic forms but also by the fact that Li Chenglong had been sent flying. It's worth noting that since Li Chenglong returned in his armored form, he hadn't suffered a defeat; this was the first time.

Li Chenglong rolled several times in the air and stopped mid-air, laughing as he said, "Good, very good. With your fighting power, I have the confidence to fight against the aliens. However, this battle has been going on for too long. Let's end it as soon as possible. Be careful." Seeing Li Chenglong say this, Yunlan immediately said to the other three, "Sisters, use your strongest move immediately. If he finishes transforming, we will lose."

As she spoke, Li Xue brandished the Azure Wave Staff, which emitted a dazzling blue light, and several ice arrows flew rapidly towards Li Chenglong. The three women, who had activated their psionic forms, also unleashed their strongest moves: "Dragon and Phoenix Blood Dance Thrust!" "Abyss Raging Wave Kill!" "Illusory Rainbow Array Strike!" The three women's strongest moves shattered the protective shield formed by dozens of level 9 ability users. Fortunately, there was another protective shield outside, which barely withstood the shockwave.

Li Chenglong, however, neither dodged nor evaded, taking the fierce attack head-on. All four women's strongest attacks landed accurately on Li Chenglong, and Yunlan jumped up excitedly, shouting, "They won!" The other three also stood together, looking very happy. Then, Li Chenglong, struck by the attack, plummeted from the sky like a deflated balloon. Yunlan rushed forward to catch him, but the instant the object reached her arms, she shouted, "Prepare to defend! Quickly!"

The words had barely left his lips when the cyan-colored Holy Dragon Armor appeared above their heads. Cyan is a magical type, adept at using various disruptive magic and illusions. Yunlan had just been affected by an illusion, mistaking the falling figure for Li Chenglong, when it didn't appear to be just a dummy. In fact, the illusion had been in effect from the very beginning—the moment of transformation. Even as they unleashed their strongest attacks, in their eyes, Li Chenglong's transformation wasn't yet complete. In reality, however, Li Chenglong had already fully fused with the armor and used the power of the cyan armor to unleash the illusion.

The battle had been going on for twenty minutes. Unable to use any recovery items, and with Li Xue constantly casting Hero's Hymn, even though she was an 11th-level Awakened, her spiritual energy was running low, and Hero's Hymn was gradually fading. The three women surrounded Li Xue, assuming a defensive stance to withstand Li Chenglong's attack.

The Holy Dragon Armor instantly turned purple, and dozens of purple lightning bolts fell from the sky. Although their defensive formation was very solid, it began to loosen after being struck by such fierce lightning. "Blue form, vanish without a trace!" Li Chenglong, in his blue Holy Dragon Armor form, instantly appeared on the ground, grabbed Li Xue, and threw her out of the arena. Lilith, outside, gently caught Li Xue and announced, "Miss Li Xue is eliminated."

Lei Qingcheng quickly used her Illusory Mist, which instantly enveloped the arena in a pale purple mist, obscuring what was happening. She intended this move to confuse Li Chenglong, but Li Chenglong, in his green perception form, had already pinpointed the locations of the three of them clearly. With a single blow, Lei Qingcheng was sent flying out of the arena, only to be caught by Lilith: "Miss Lei Qingcheng is eliminated."

As Lei Qingcheng was eliminated, the smoke in the arena gradually dissipated. Yunlan and Shangguan Jingyun saw Li Chenglong hovering a few meters in the air. His spiritual energy form, having been used for too long, was on the verge of disappearing, and the two were preparing for a final, desperate fight. Li Chenglong didn't want to hurt them and planned to finish the battle quickly. "Red energy, blue energy, infuse simultaneously!" The Holy Dragon Armor instantly transformed into a red and blue color scheme, and the octagonal energy indicator on its chest also split into red and blue.

Li Chenglong slowly landed on the ground, while Shangguan Jingyun and Yunlan, in their psionic forms, charged forward together. He sheathed the Dragon Emperor Sword, unleashing a massive amount of psionic and super-energy, the G-crystal at his waist gleaming brightly. After charging for three seconds, the Holy Dragon Armor transformed into a streak of red and blue light, rushing towards Yunlan and Shangguan Jingyun. The two women immediately felt as if they had been hit by a train, flying out of the arena. Lilith caught Shangguan Jingyun, while Li Chenglong, having deactivated his armor, used a spatial teleportation to gently catch Yunlan.

Lilith immediately announced, "I declare Li Chenglong the winner of this match!" Tens of thousands of people in the audience stood up, applauding and cheering for a long time. Panting heavily, Li Chenglong took out four chairs for the four women to sit and rest, and also gave them some Flame Fruit to eat to recover. To be honest, he was also very tired. If he were fighting in his normal state, he would have lost long ago. Fortunately, he had his body strengthened by the Ezamre metal and the Holy Dragon Armor fused with G-crystals.

After their match ended, the audience was still somewhat unsatisfied. At this point, more than a dozen level 10 ability users went up and had a sparring session. Meanwhile, Li Chenglong and the four women got into a large RV and drove towards the Dawn Building.

The half-hour of thrilling battle had already astonished everyone at the other bases watching the live stream. They had been somewhat prepared, but they hadn't expected a battle between level 11 beings to be so intense and exciting. General Chen Guoqiang had the footage copied so his subordinates could study it. Sun Qingpeng and Gao Shixin gathered all their high-level ability users and personally provided them with frame-by-frame explanations of the battle. Similar situations occurred at various bases, and everyone's enthusiasm for learning was extremely high.

Back at the Dawn Building, Lei Qingcheng greeted Li Chenglong and then went to her assigned apartment in the government compound to take a shower and rest. Shangguan Jingyun said she needed to return to the Black Gold City office in Dawn City to handle some matters and wouldn't be back until the afternoon. Yunlan and Li Xue went upstairs together to wash up and rest. Li Chenglong, who had also worked up a sweat, was about to go home to shower when he received a call from Han Feng.

Because Han Feng is a zombie, she lives on the 15th floor of the Dawn Building every day. She has someone deliver her meals, and she can also play on a TV and a crystal computer. She lives a very comfortable life. Today, she learned that Li Chenglong was going to compete against four level 11 awakened individuals. She watched the whole live broadcast and became quite excited.

As Han Feng had previously mentioned, the eight zombie guardians were all at the late stage of level 11, while the four marshals were at the early to mid-stage of level 12. Li Chenglong asked with a smile, "Han Feng, do you think I could hold my own against the four marshals?" Han Feng replied through her crystal phone, "I think I definitely can. I watched your battle today, and considering you eliminated that level 12 sea dragon and the level 12 behemoth, you can definitely handle the zombie marshals. As for the four sisters, Yun Lan and Shangguan Jingyun can also defeat those guardians. If they join forces, taking on a level 12 early-stage marshal wouldn't be a problem. However, fighting a mid-stage marshal might be more difficult, as they are more likely to be divided and conquered."

Li Chenglong nodded, agreeing with Han Feng's words. Although they had fought with all their might today, they hadn't gone all out. If they had fought to the death, Yun Lan might have been able to defeat a level 12 early-stage marshal. He had just returned home when he saw Su Qian playing with Li Yunhao. Seeing his father return, Li Yunhao slowly ran over and said in a childish voice, "Daddy, you're so amazing! So strong!" However, because his vocabulary was still limited, he could only use adjectives like "amazing" and "strong."

Li Chenglong smiled, picked him up, kissed him, and said, "Play with your sister Susie. Daddy's going to take a shower. I'll play with you later, okay?" Li Yunhao nodded obediently, and Li Chenglong then handed him over to Susie. Susie smiled and said, "Master, Madam is taking a shower in the bathroom next to your room. Would you like to go to the other one?" Li Chenglong smiled and said, "Yes, of course I'll go to the other one, but I don't need you to trouble yourself. Just take good care of the little one."

After saying that, he went to the second bathroom and began to wash up. However, as soon as he entered, he used spatial teleportation to arrive at Yunlan's side. Yunlan knew he was coming and wasn't surprised; instead, she considerately applied shower gel for Li Chenglong. The two chatted and laughed, but because the soundproofing was excellent, Su Xi, being an ordinary person, naturally didn't notice.
