NOVEL WEB Chapter 24
Chapter 24: The Weakest Race In The World Is The Dragonkin
A dragonkin?
They were considered the strongest race on the continent.
However, the dragonkin were now too few in number.
It was simply because they found themselves too difficult to breed.
The dragonkin had a lifespan of 10,000 years. But due to this long lifespan, it was extremely difficult to breed the next generation, causing the dragonkin to continuously decrease in population.
Moreover, the dragonkin were also ostracized by other races.
This was because all the dragonkin were magic treasures.
Hence, in human civilization, there were even dragon-slaying warriors.
There were also dragon-slaying warriors among the demons, the elves, and other races.
This had put the dragonkin in a tough spot.
They were clearly a powerful existence, but they were not the most formidable race on the continent.
Long Xiaoying was a thousand-year-old female dragon. However, in terms of the lifespan of the dragonkin, she was only akin to a ten-year-old human girl.
The dragonkin did not cultivate magic, and because they were of the same category, it made them become immune to magic.
Their attack methods were also relatively simple, but the breath of the dragonkin was a nightmare for other races.
Moreover, the toughness of the dragonkin’s body also far surpassed that of other races.
It was said that they were born with divine strength, and the strength of their arms alone could pull out a mountain.
…
Without saying much of anything else.
Long Xiaoying went up to the arena and immediately threw a magic stone at the defender.
In an instant, Long Xiaoying stomped on the ground beneath her feet.
Bam!
She immediately rushed toward the defender.
She did not use any weapons. Instead, she simply punched her fist toward the defender’s head.
However, her physical strength was abnormally terrifying. With just a stomp and a dash, a sonic boom was created.
She was so fast she even left a mirage on the place she was originally standing on.
“A fist fight? I like it!”
The defender also did not use his magic power. With a push of his feet on the ground, he shot out toward her like a cannonball.
The two of them charged out with all their strength and if the arena magic had not been blocking the sonic boom, they might have killed some of the weaker mages on the spot.
They could see the two of them colliding with each other, making a huge bang.
A figure rushed out of the arena with a single swoosh.
The crowd hurriedly looked over and almost cried out in surprise.
They saw Long Xiaoying, who was standing in the rubble a few hundred meters away, with her eyes wide open. She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and her face was filled with disbelief.
She had actually lost, and she had even been defeated in one move.
But was she not a dragonkin?
If her opponent had defeated her with the advantage of his weapon, she would not have been surprised at all.
But the two of them had just collided with each other.
She was a member of the dragonkin, but she had actually lost.
The dragonkin was the race with the strongest physical body; this title was not for nothing.
However, she had actually lost in a single move.
Everyone was utterly gobsmacked at the same time.
Who else would dare to go up now?
The Golden Board of Heaven and Earth started flashing, and a few words appeared on top of it.
“Too weak, no rating was given.”
“God, even a dragonkin is still too weak. What kind of race can go up there and take it up a notch?”
Cold sweat broke out on Kylie’s forehead.
“What a terrifying strength.”
“Didn’t I tell you? That’s why I stopped you from going up,” said Lin En.
“How are we going to play this now? It seems that those magic treasures are not that easy to get after all.”
“I say, how could the mage god training hall’s host be so kind as to send such a monster to guard the arena? Oh my god, he had defeated a dragonkin in a single move by crashing her body.”
“This time, I’m afraid no one would dare to go up.”
“To be able to command such a freakish human at will, how terrifying would that host of mage god training hall be?”
…
“I, a Beamon, will give it a try.”
At this moment, a true star-ranked powerhouse appeared.
It was someone from the Beamon race, who was about five meters tall.
He was a genuine 2-star powerhouse.
The Beamons’ strength was also mainly focused on their body, even though they were much weaker than the dragonkin.
However, they were able to train their combat aura like the humans.
He jumped into the arena with a green combat aura armor on his body, and charged toward the defender without saying anything.
The two of them only fought for three rounds.
The defender, Tian, immediately clashed onto him and pushed the Beamon out of the arena.
The Golden Board of Heaven and Earth Tablet exuded with a golden light. This time, it ultimately gave a ranking.
“Strength Rating, D—”
…
He was such a powerful Beamon and a 2-star powerhouse, yet he was only given a ‘D’ rating.
Everyone was speechless.
In the end, the Titans, the elves, and the dwarfs had all sent up star-ranked powerhouses up to fight.
However, the odd thing was that their highest rating was still only a ‘D’.
“Next.”
The defender said emotionlessly.
Almost everyone got their danders up.
Was this the arena defender sent by the mage god training hall?
Even the beings of the same Level could not compete with him. Up until now, no one had exceeded three moves before getting defeated by him.
Of course, these were also some truly powerful beings that did not go onto the arena just yet.
However, the elves had once sent out a 4-star powerhouse before. Yet, when he went onto the arena, he was defeated in three moves as well.
Hence, everyone guessed that the arena defender was close to 4-star so he was merely invincible to anyone below 4-stars.
“Did you see that? Even the dragonkin that went up just now didn’t have a higher ranking.”
“Is there anyone stronger?”
The arena defender said.
“Let me have a try.”
Aquino said at this moment.
He instantly turned into a mirage and flew onto the stage.
Once Aquino went on the stage, everyone began to discuss again.
After all, Aquino had defeated the four-winged angel previously.
Three minutes later.
Aquino was defeated as well.
“F*ck, can’t Aquino hold on for a little longer?”
“Who else can challenge such an arena?”
Finally, the Golden Board of Heaven and Earth Tablet gave Aquino a ‘C’ rating.
This could be considered as a small consolation for everyone as well.
…
Just as everyone thought that there were no more experts who would want to challenge him.
A young man from the dragonkin walked out.
This time, it was a real adult dragonkin.
Once a dragonkin transformed into a human, it would be easier to distinguish their age.
After transforming into a human, their appearance would change according to their more realistic human age.
“Let me challenge you.”
He jumped immediately onto the arena.
The arena defender, Tian, smiled and said, “Another big lizard? Your kind is the weakest race in the world.”
“What? Did you actually say that the dragonkin is the weakest of all races? Have you been kicked in the head by a human before?”
The dragonkin said angrily.
Everyone was also talking about it enthusiastically. It seemed that there was something wrong with the defender’s head.
The dragonkin had always been considered the strongest in the world.
How could they be the weakest race instead?
“Alright, let’s not compete for now. Let me ask you a couple of things.”
The defender asked, “How old are you this year?”
The young white dragon said, “I’m 2,300 years old.”
The defender nodded and asked, “Then what kind of magic or fighting technique do you practice?”
The White Dragon said disdainfully, “That kind of magic and fighting technique is not even as powerful as the breath of the dragonkin.”
The defender nodded again. No one understood what he was implying.
“Then let me ask you, do you have any descendants at your age?” The arena defender asked again.
The White Dragon said somewhat angrily, “In this world, any powerful existence is always rare and sparse.”
“Good, I finally understand why the dragonkin is weak. It seems the hall master was right.”
Hall master?
Everyone was stunned. Saying that the dragon race was weak was something the mage god training hall’s hall master had said?
Tian the defender said, “First of all, you have lived for 2,300 years. Yet you’re only a 3-star mage god. You’re too weak. The Titans have a lifespan of 1,000 years. Yet when they reach 200 years old, they’ll be either 7 to 8-star powerhouses.
“The elves have a lifespan of 1,000 years. Yet when they’re 200 years old, they’ll also be either 3 or 4-star powerhouses. As for humans, they only need a hundred years or even less to reach this level.
“Dragonkin, on the other hand, needs around 2,300 years for 3-star or 4-star powerhouses to appear. Don’t say that this is a characteristic of your race. At the end of the day, the years you dragonkin have are just the same amount of years as any other races.
“You’re just idiots who think that they’re gifted, but are actually stupid in magic, combat aura, and all sorts of martial techniques. How is it that your kind only has the same old method after all those years? How is it always your breath and dragon language magic? Instead, I think it’s because your kind couldn’t learn any other methods, right?
“It also has something to do with your offspring. How can a race that has difficulty reproducing be considered strong? The dragonkin had merely been living in their own little world.”
