456: The Dragon Man's trump card: the Dragon General

The atmosphere around the long table suddenly became explosive, while Gu Qinghan still wore his arrogant and unrestrained expression.

Finally, the Dragon People Old Man, having been provoked repeatedly by Gu Qinghan, was the first to regain his calm, offering a placating smile to the group:

"Perhaps there are differences in our cultures; young friend Long Aotian's words are a bit too sharp."

But Gu Qinghan remained relentless, continuing to press his attack:

"Not at all. This is just like raising fish, except it's one person per tank.

Why are you all so angry? Is someone genuinely defecating in other people's water pits?"

"Enough!"

The leading Majestic Dragon-person slammed the table, staring directly at Gu Qinghan as he spoke:

"If you continue to ask these pointless questions, then there will be no need for us to cooperate!"

Gu Qinghan shrugged, grinning as he leaned back into his seat.

Arrogance! Insolence! Ignorance!

All the Dragon-people had already defined Gu Qinghan; they had absolutely no suspicion that everything he displayed was a pretense.

The Majestic Dragon-person took a deep breath, forcibly recalling his rationality before speaking again:

"To make a long story short, I know your strength is great, and at least one of you possesses water control abilities that are no weaker than those of our Dragon-person race."

"The Giant Whale that once attacked Island Nation and Huaguo, when it last appeared, directly swallowed a small piece of our Island Nation's land, along with thousands of our compatriots."

"I can sense that it will appear again, and that time will be our chance to strike!"

Following that, he clapped his hands, and a Dragon-person whose appearance was noticeably different walked out from the ranks behind him.

The Majestic Dragon-person waited for this Dragon-person to reach his side before continuing:

"This is the strongest warrior of our Dragon-person race, named Dragon General."

"He possesses the most perfect Dragon bloodline currently, and he will take on the main responsibility for the attack. What you need to do is assist him in the battle."

"Although I do not know your specific class abilities, I believe you are all experts, so adapting to circumstances should not be a problem, right?"

Gu Qinghan nodded, but his gaze remained fixed on the Dragon General.

At first, he thought the Dragon General was wearing armor, but only after he approached did he realize that was not the case.

This fellow's body was covered in dense, solid scales!

These scales were like a layer of scale armor, protecting all parts of him except his face, appearing quite miraculous.

Furthermore, his eyes were no longer the native color of the Island Nation people, but a blue like water.

Blue, blue like the sea.

And this Dragon General had been staring at Gu Qinghan ever since he appeared, seemingly regarding him as his prey.

"Why are you looking at me? Are you reminiscing about your past self as a human?"

Gu Qinghan mocked him again; he had to maintain his image of boundless arrogance.

Then the Dragon General suddenly spoke, pointing at Gu Qinghan and saying:

"You are very strong. I want to fight you."

Gu Qinghan waved his hand, pointing to Jiang Xiaoyu beside him and saying:

"Beat him first, then we'll talk."

The Dragon General's voice held a strange, non-human echo, and he merely continued to speak to Gu Qinghan:

"I want to fight you. I want to... tear you apart."

"But if it is this guy... that is fine too."

His tone was extremely serious, allowing everyone to hear that he was not joking.

And the Majestic Dragon-person seemed to have no intention of stopping him; instead, he said to Gu Qinghan:

"The specific details of the cooperation, we can discuss later."

"But understanding each other's strength will allow for better cooperation later, won't it?"

"The previous battle at sea did not truly display your real strength."

Gu Qinghan thought about it and did not refuse.

He was also very curious about the strength of this Dragon General, and this was a perfect opportunity to observe his opponent.

He believed these Dragon-people definitely had hidden cards he did not know about, but gaining more information certainly would not hurt.

Thinking this, Gu Qinghan looked towards a large lake not far away and said:

"How about we conduct the match there? The area is quite large."

However, the Majestic Dragon-person immediately rejected this suggestion, explaining:

"That is where we domesticate marine creatures. If a battle breaks out, it is very likely to startle them."

"The land that was previously swallowed by the Giant Whale is now completely submerged in seawater, which would be perfect as a battlefield."

Gu Qinghan had no objections and once again followed the group to the destination.

Along the way, these Dragon-people maintained a safe distance from Gu Qinghan, unsure if it was to prevent him from suddenly attacking or if they were afraid he would say something else they could not refute.

Once they reached the battlefield, the Dragon General jumped directly into the water and was gradually buoyed up to the surface.

Jiang Xiaoyu also dove in with a splash, and then appeared on the water's surface as well.

As soon as the two stood firm, they almost simultaneously launched attacks at each other.

The seawater around both of them began to change shape according to their movements, transforming into a large number of marine creatures rushing towards their opponent.

The Dragon General formed his hands into claws, raising two swirling water spouts aimed directly at Jiang Xiaoyu opposite him.

Jiang Xiaoyu was not to be outdone; he placed his hands on the water surface and sharply pulled up, as if erecting a tall wall made of seawater.

The two water spouts crashed into the wall, only causing violent ripples but failing to break it down.

Subsequently, the water wall collapsed with a crash, turning into a massive wave that smashed towards the rapidly approaching Dragon General.

The Dragon General did not take any defensive measures, allowing the massive amount of seawater to crash onto him.

But if one observed closely, they could actually see that the scales on his body helped him separate all the water currents.

In the water, he seemed to have a natural defense; almost all water-based attacks had little effect on him.

Jiang Xiaoyu naturally noticed this, and he quickly sank to the bottom, agile like a sea fish.

When the Dragon General realized his target was gone, he immediately plunged into the water, starting his pursuit of Jiang Xiaoyu.

The crowd on the shore could no longer see the two fighting, only occasionally seeing a towering column of water erupt from the sea.

"This Dragon General can actually suppress Jiang Xiaoyu without him using a Holy Skill. It seems these Dragon-people are not entirely without hidden cards... The crucial point is, do these Dragon-people have other hidden cards, such as other Dragon Generals?"

Gu Qinghan watched the battle in the sea, conducting his own analysis internally.

Although Jiang Xiaoyu was at a disadvantage, there was clearly no sign of him losing.

Gu Qinghan occasionally saw Jiang Xiaoyu surface, clash with the Dragon General, and then sink back into the water.

This battle seemed to suddenly turn into a stalemate, until at one moment, everyone saw the water surface begin to tremble violently.

Seen from afar, it looked as if the seawater had suddenly boiled, with countless droplets detaching from the surface, like pearls, magnificent and beautiful.

"Is this the Dragon General's skill?"

Gu Qinghan frowned. The range of this skill was too large; the entire sea surface he could see displayed the same scene.

But the next second, Jiang Xiaoyu's figure emerged from the seawater, shouting towards Gu Qinghan:

"Something is approaching, danger!"
