100: Fight between dragons and tigers!

“Alas…”

“The threat of the sea beasts is even more terrifying than I imagined!”

At the Imperial Capital Research Institute, in its most important laboratory, Professor Xia Xinyu watched the entire battle along the eastern sea defense line. Unbeknownst to him, his eyes revealed a look of grief and indignation. “In the end… in the end, we still miscalculated!”

Although he had long been wary of sea beasts, believing that the threat of fierce beasts in the sea to humans was the same as, or even greater than, that of land beasts, he still underestimated the power of the sea beasts!

Now, seeing the sea beast army advancing like a broken bamboo, if their progress could not be stopped, the entire country would probably fall in a very short time.

Therefore, Professor Xia Xinyu was filled with immense hatred.

He hated himself for not paying attention to the situation on the sea defense line sooner, and he also hated himself for not being able to accelerate his research on the strengthening agent.

If he had accomplished even one of those things, today's situation would not have happened!

“Professor, are… are you alright?”

His assistant sensed his emotions and, seeing that Professor Xia Xinyu had remained motionless for a long time, couldn't help but take a step forward. “Do you need to rest?”

“No need.”

Professor Xia Xinyu waved his hand and suddenly spoke, “You know that in this world, the sea area is about five times larger than the land, right?”

The assistant was somewhat confused but still nodded.

Professor Xia Xinyu pointed at the large screen, his voice full of worry, “If all these beasts surged onto the land, it would probably be a catastrophic disaster for us humans!”

“But fortunately, the range of that purple Flood Dragon’s Summoning Wind and Rain is not too large, otherwise…”

Seeing him stop, the assistant thought carefully, and soon a look of shock appeared on his face, because he had already understood the professor’s unspoken words—otherwise, humanity would truly be in danger!

For the next period, both of them quietly stared at the large screen.

Although they were in the capital and could not do anything about the war on the eastern sea defense line, if they could analyze some situations, it might change the fate of most people.

“After these sea beasts came ashore, they seem to… be on their way?”

“Do they have a clear objective?”

Suddenly, Professor Xia Xinyu noticed something, and a look of contemplation gradually appeared. “This seems to be… the direction of Yunzhou!”

At first, it was actually impossible to discern the direction of the sea beast army’s advance, because their ranks were simply too vast, and coupled with his agitated state, he couldn't pay attention to it at all.

But as his mind gradually calmed, Professor Xia Xinyu suddenly discovered this point.

Then, he suddenly became extremely excited, “This is great!”

“What?”

Just as the assistant was still confused, Professor Xia Xinyu had already jumped up in excitement.

Then, he strode towards the military headquarters, shouting as he ran, “Tell them not to intercept, and immediately evacuate residents along the way!”

“Perhaps soon, we will witness a fierce battle!”

“I want to report this matter personally!”

…At the same time, in the Yunxia Mountain Range.

Xia Fan’s fierce beasts were still living peaceful yet busy lives.

Some fierce beasts were responsible for clearing up the aftermath of the great battle, some were diligently recording the losses from this battle, and others were constantly running around, relaying messages from all sides.

However, the important fierce beasts accompanying Xia Fan were not particularly busy.

“Wow!”

Suddenly, an exclamation was heard, and the enchanting meow immediately made the other fierce beasts turn their heads.

Magic Cat, who was originally holding a phone, suddenly scrolled to the latest trending video and immediately cried out, “These sea beasts look so fierce, and that purple one can even use Summoning Wind and Rain!”

“I really want to have such an ability too!”

Hearing these words, the fierce beasts all smiled.

Ta Mu, however, was directly attracted.

After watching the full video, he couldn't help but comment seriously, “It’s true, this purple snake looks so fierce, it’s definitely a powerful individual!”

“That’s Lord Dragon King!”

Beside them, Mermaid Nami suddenly cried out angrily, her peculiar voice spreading out.

She originally didn't intend to argue with Magic Cat, as the little fellow was simply too adorable, the type that everyone loved. But seeing that grayish-stone toad, Nami became displeased. “Lord Dragon King is not a lowly snake!”

“Toad, don’t talk nonsense!”

“…”

Ta Mu suddenly felt wronged.

However, a moment later, Magic Cat broke the awkward silence.

Its curious meow was heard, “So, this is your Lord Dragon King, huh? He’s nothing special!”

Whoosh—

A splash of water sounded.

Magic Cat and the other fierce beasts turned their heads, only to see Xia Fan emerge from the spirit pool.

After watching the trending video, he couldn't help but slightly narrow his eyes, then instinctively glanced at Mermaid Nami.

Because… Xia Fan had already learned the true purpose of the Dragon King from human intelligence, “It seems you are quite important to the Dragon King.”

“What?”

For a moment, Mermaid Nami was stunned.

But Xia Fan’s voice continued, “To save you, this Dragon King actually brought the sea beast army all the way to the inland!”

Despite saying this, Xia Fan’s expression was calm.

He had now broken through to the third stage, possessed an unrivaled spirit weapon and various talents, and with the boost from Magic Cat’s possession, Xia Fan had reason and confidence to believe that even the renowned Dragon King from his previous life, he no longer feared him in the slightest.

What’s more, this Dragon King was coming to fight in his home territory!

“Is… is that so?”

Hearing this, Mermaid Nami suddenly became flustered.

She secretly observed Xia Fan, and thoughts rose from the depths of her heart, “Although Lord Dragon King’s strength is considerable and he is a true powerhouse, the power of this mad tiger cannot be ignored.”

“It seems Lord Dragon King and the mad tiger can only fight to a draw?”

Mermaid Nami had no idea if the strength of the two creatures was as she imagined in her heart, she could only guess on her own… “Too slow!”

The Dragon King, hidden high in the sky, observed the sea beast army as he advanced towards Yunzhou.

He saw these sea beasts jumping around, some even staying in the water for too long.

“Roar—”

After a period of silence, the Dragon King finally roared, and only after all the fierce beasts’ attention was drawn did he issue his command, “Immediately form ranks and advance!”

“If you continue like this, who knows when you’ll ever arrive!”

Crackling—

Thunder rumbled continuously, and heavy rain poured down, yet over three thousand sea beasts, in a short period, formed ranks and began to advance!

At the same time, at the Imperial Capital Military Headquarters.

A group of military leaders carefully watched the surveillance footage, and then a commander nodded slightly, sighing, “Professor Xia’s guess was correct, these sea beasts are indeed heading for the Golden Tiger King.”

“However, residents along the way have already been evacuated in advance, so now we just wait and watch the show.”

“Hopefully… the two of them will perish together…”
