21: Chapter 21: Bai Ze's iconic dragon-walking scene!

The finals began.

Lin Feng climbed into the simulation pod and immediately connected his neurons.

Opposite him, Ye Chen entered his pod simultaneously and began projecting his units.

The virtual sandbox was entirely randomly generated.

This time, it spawned a barren, precipitous canyon.

The canyon was filled with deep pits and cliffs; the terrain was extremely complex.

"Both sides are using Tier 4 leaders!"

On the VIP platform, Mayor Zhao Tingfeng stared in astonishment, "It seems the quality of this year's Ten-School Joint Exam is significantly higher than before."

In the entire Great Xia Alliance, being able to hold a Tier 3 leader before the college entrance exam basically meant obtaining an admission letter from a top university.

If someone could cultivate a Tier 4 leader, they were practically a freak among geniuses.

In the entire Xinghai City, you might not encounter one even in decades.

Yet today, two just popped up.

Who would have the last laugh and lift the championship trophy?

The tens of millions of viewers across the city held their breath, not daring to even let out a sigh.

Everyone knew in their hearts that they were definitely going to witness history today.

"System, check the details of the opponent's leaders carefully." Lin Feng secretly guarded himself.

This was the first time he had encountered such a formidable opponent, so he had to figure out their tricks.

"Ding! Data analysis in progress..."

"Twilight Hatchling: A variant of ancient giant lizard possessing a trace of dragon bloodline; its scales are hard, and it can glide at low altitudes."

"Flame Hatchling: A variant of fire lizard possessing a faint trace of dragon bloodline; its body is scorching hot, it can breathe high-temperature flames, and it can glide at low altitudes."

"Twilight Dragon (Tier 3): A variant giant beast with further activated dragon bloodline; it possesses sharp claws capable of tearing through steel and can fly at high altitudes."

"Flame Dragon (Tier 4): A variant possessing a medium-purity dragon bloodline; its exterior is covered in magma armor, and flapping its wings can create a large-scale sea of fire."

"Xinghai Divine Dragon (Tier 4): Possesses the direct bloodline of the Ancestral Dragon, has the purest Eastern divine dragon genes, and wields the laws of thunder!"

Glancing at the report provided by the system, Lin Feng felt confident.

Except for the last purebred divine dragon, the winged giant lizards mentioned earlier were all crossbreeds of Western dragons and lizards, not counting as orthodox bloodlines at all.

However, even if the bloodlines were impure, their combat power was still ridiculously strong.

"System, what exactly is the origin of this Xinghai Divine Dragon?" Lin Feng was somewhat curious.

"Replying to the host, all dragon clans in the world originate from the ancient Yinglong. The current Xinghai Divine Dragon belongs to the Azure Dragon lineage and is also recorded in the bestiary of the 'classic of mountains and seas'."

Hearing this explanation, Lin Feng suddenly realized.

So, the high and mighty alliance totem was actually just an ancient exotic beast from the 'classic of mountains and seas'.

As long as they were in the same bestiary, the Taotie would absolutely not fear it!

With a thought from Lin Feng, Bai Ze flapped its divine wings, descending like a sovereign.

The moment Bai Ze appeared, a terrifying pressure originating from an ancient bloodline directly overwhelmed the group of lizard dragons on the opposite side.

Both were Tier 4, but the quality of an ancient auspicious beast was clearly several grades higher than that of crossbred giant lizards.

Before the battle had even started, the several giant dragons under Ye Chen's command had already begun to pace restlessly in place, their low growls even revealing a sense of guilt.

The big screen broadcast the battlefield footage without reservation.

The various bigwigs on the high platform were all so shocked that their jaws dropped.

"This... this is bloodline suppression!" Mayor Zhao Tingfeng said, his face full of shock.

The glowing divine beast in Lin Feng's hand released an aura that was actually more terrifying than the dragons!

One had to know that the Tier 4 Flame Dragon already had quite pure dragon blood flowing through its body.

Even so, it was still suppressed to the point where it couldn't lift its head.

In other words, the unknown creature in Lin Feng's hand possessed a nobility of bloodline that could completely stand on equal footing with a true divine dragon!

"So what if its bloodline is noble! Tear it apart for me!"

Ye Chen was annoyed and ashamed, and decisively issued the order for an all-out attack.

The massive dragon army took to the air and dove fiercely toward the group of Taotie Offspring on the ground.

The two armies tangled in the bottom of the canyon; the scene was extremely bloody, and a large patch of the ground was stained red.

These Tier 2 hybrid hatchlings could only glide at low altitudes close to the ground, and this height was exactly within the jumping and biting range of the Taotie.

Combined with the narrow terrain of the canyon, it was perfectly suited for the Taotie to surround and hunt them.

The dragons' scales were indeed incredibly hard.

But the Taotie was an ancient glutton that could chew up even stones; mere dragon scales were no different from potato chips in its mouth.

Not long after the engagement began, the situation on the ground battlefield was firmly controlled by Lin Feng.

However, the true deciding point was still in the sky.

The Tier 3 Twilight Dragon and the Tier 4 Flame Dragon directly locked onto Bai Ze in mid-air.

As long as this enemy leader was taken down, the Taotie group below would naturally be no match.

Focus on the support first in a team fight; Ye Chen's tactical thinking was very clear.

It was just a pity that the situation had fallen into a very awkward state.

These two lizard dragons, even risking their lives, couldn't touch a single feather of Bai Ze!

Bai Ze stepped on auspicious clouds, flying lightly and agilely.

While the dragons could only rely on the two tattered fleshy wings on their backs, flapping huffingly and puffingly.

The mobility of the two sides was like the difference between clouds and mud.

The Flame Dragon let out a wild roar, spewing a high-temperature fire pillar of several thousand degrees from its mouth.

Bai Ze just leaned to the side slightly, dodging perfectly.

"Forget about the one in the sky! Burn the beasts on the ground first!" Ye Chen shouted in a panic.

The Flame Dragon received the order and flapped its wings violently.

Countless massive fireballs descended from the sky, turning into a devastating meteor shower that smashed into the canyon floor.

Just at this moment, Bai Ze's Blessing of Luck took effect.

After a round of fire rain, Lin Feng's Taotie Offspring only suffered some minor scrapes.

Instead, Ye Chen's own army of hatchlings was burned by this indiscriminate bombing, crying for their parents, and suffering heavy casualties.

"Are you blind! Where are you spraying!" Ye Chen was so angry he cursed loudly.

The Flame Dragon flicked its tail in grievance.

It had clearly aimed at the enemy's main force; who knew why the fireballs all hit its own people when they fell.

"Damn it!"

Ye Chen felt like he was being treated like a monkey.

His paper combat power was clearly superior, yet he was hitting walls everywhere when fighting.

Taking advantage of the time Ye Chen was cursing, Lin Feng decisively counterattacked.

"Bai Ze, show it some color!"

The auspicious beast in mid-air let out a crisp, long cry, its figure flashing like lightning across the back of the Twilight Dragon.

The sharp claws of the auspicious beast slashed fiercely!

The Twilight Dragon let out a painful wail, and several blood grooves deep enough to see bone instantly appeared on its back.

Although this strike drew blood, it was not enough to be fatal.

"The burst damage of support-type units is, after all, a bit lacking." Lin Feng looked at the results and shook his head helplessly.

However, this was already enough to make Ye Chen go crazy.

A dignified Tier 3 dragon was being led around like a toy by a winged white sheep the whole time, unable to even touch a corner of the opponent's clothing.

The only Tier 4 Flame Dragon, although having fierce firepower, was also a blind person who couldn't hit anyone.

"I'm not wasting time with you anymore! Divine Dragon, enter the battle!"

Ye Chen completely lost his reason and roared at the sky.

The simulation pod shone brightly, and a massive azure giant dragon, tens of meters long, tore through the void and descended with a boom above the canyon!

The moment the Xinghai Divine Dragon appeared, the laws of the entire virtual battlefield seemed to have been reshuffled.

The pure dragon pressure spread like a tsunami, forcefully holding off Bai Ze's divine aura.

Both sides stood their ground, neither giving an inch.

Once the Divine Dragon appeared, the whole city boiled over.

"My god! It's actually a real Divine Dragon!"

"What on earth is this guy's background! He can actually afford to raise the alliance's totem divine beast!"

"He must be a relative of a top military bigwig!"

Countless students were seeing the legendary Xinghai Divine Dragon with their own eyes for the first time today, all of them so excited they were screaming and shouting!
