Is It Funny That The Dragon Slayer Failed And Became The Dragon Princess?

173. Tired of Playing

Xia Yi’s cheeks twitched.

Wait, what was this blue dragon genius saying to her?

“Atiya, you’re saying that if I don’t reach the Fourth Tier, I won’t be able to leave here?”

“Yep, that’s right!”

Atiya put her hands on her hips, quite proud of her plan.

“There’s a spatial barrier here. Its strength is at the Fourth Tier. To leave, you just need to reach the Fourth Tier!”

“Then, can’t you break it?” Xia Yi asked. “Your strength isn’t just at the Fourth Tier, right?”

“Of course, Princess. Do you think I’m an idiot?” Atiya wagged her finger. “I definitely need to make some preparations. When I entered here, I sealed my strength to be just right at the Fourth Tier, and it just so happens that no matter how hard I try, I’m always a little short of breaking the barrier… So no matter how desperately I try, I can’t leave here. I can only rely on you, Princess.”

“So you mean…”

“Yes, if you keep slacking off, we’ll never be able to leave… Because Her Majesty instructed me that without any pressure, you wouldn’t have the motivation!”

“Atiya, are you mad?”

“No, I’m very calm.”

“I mean, if we’re trapped here, what about food? Water? We can’t just not eat or drink, right?”

“Huh?”

Atiya was stumped by Xia Yi’s question. She tilted her head, looking completely clueless.

This expression clearly showed that she hadn’t considered this issue.

Gradually, she also realized the situation.

Dragons were a Superior Race with huge energy requirements. They needed to eat a lot every meal and get hungry very easily… If there was nothing here, they might starve to death very quickly.

Beads of sweat gradually covered Atiya’s forehead.

“Don’t tell me you really didn’t bring anything?” Xia Yi asked anxiously. “Since you thought of this method, you must have a very comprehensive plan, not just a whim… without any preparation, right?”

“Ehehe—” Atiya made a silly face, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.

She had no such plan.

Xia Yi suddenly felt very tired.

Why did Xia Lulu have to ask Atiya of all people?

Anyone else wouldn’t have done something this stupid.

“Think about it carefully, Princess. As long as you successfully break through, won’t everything be fine?” Atiya said. “The sooner you break through, the sooner we can leave here. We won’t have to worry about starving.”

“You’re really impulsive!”

“No, Princess. I have already made up my mind to contribute myself to the Royal Dragon Family! If you fail to break through, I will always accompany you… Let’s be buried together!!”

Xia Yi felt even more tired. Was she really going to spend her last moments with Atiya, and even be… buried together?

No way, no way!

“I… will absolutely not be trapped here!!” Xia Yi declared.

“Mm! Very good. I can already feel Princess’s fighting spirit. Then, come. My current strength is the threshold of the Fourth Tier. As long as you defeat me, it means you have broken through to the Fourth Tier.”

“Fight Atiya, huh…”

Xia Yi began to assess Atiya.

If she remembered correctly, Atiya is very strong.

After all, the Royal Maid Corps had strict strength requirements.

However, she wasn’t familiar with Atiya’s fighting style.

Was she… a mage?

The Blue Dragon clan was very intelligent and had good talent in magic.

“Princess, I actually only know a bit about magic,” Atiya seemed to see through Xia Yi’s thoughts. “I’m better at close combat!”

“Close combat?”

“Mmhmm! In close combat, crushing the opponent with strength, that’s my fighting style,” Atiya asked. “Princess, what’s yours? Magic?”

“I use swordsmanship.”

“I see.”

Atiya took out a small bag and shook it.

Various weapons fell out and stuck into the ground of the space.

Xia Yi selected a one-handed sword and gripped it, taking a stance.

“Atiya, you choose a weapon too. Let’s start now.”

“Okay, then I’ll take… this one!”

Atiya also chose a weapon.

Xia Yi raised her eyebrows. Atiya had chosen the same weapon as her.

A sword.

Hoho.

In terms of swordsmanship, Xia Yi had absolute confidence. Now she wasn’t sleepy at all.

After all, she was the Sword Saint and had considerable authority in this area.

“Atiya, swordsmanship isn’t that simple,” Xia Yi laughed. “Since you claim to prefer using overwhelming strength to crush your opponents… then I recommend you use a giant axe or a war hammer. A sword that relies on technique isn’t very suitable.”

“Is that so?”

“Of course. In swordsmanship, you can only be crushed by me.”

“How would you know without trying?”

Atiya was quite confident.

Very well.

Xia Yi decided in her heart to give her opponent a little Sword Saint shock.

“Let’s begin.”

Atiya gripped the sword.

Perhaps it was Xia Yi’s illusion, but the moment Atiya entered a combat state, she felt that the usual silliness on her disappeared, as if she had become a different person.

The blue dragon maid took the initiative to approach Xia Yi.

Xia Yi swung the iron sword in her hand, releasing her Sword Intent and unleashing fierce sword lights.

Four Instantaneous Slashes!

This was one of her signature techniques, controlling different speeds to unleash consecutive sword lights, forming multiple unstoppable sword strikes to hit the enemy.

The current Xia Yi could unleash four sword qi.

Almost simultaneously, four sword qi appeared around Atiya, tearing through the air. No one could possibly defend against them at the same time.

One move to defeat the enemy!

“How fun.”

Atiya looked at this scene. Time seemed to freeze as she engaged in rapid thinking and analysis. In the end, she reached a conclusion. The corners of her mouth curled up, and she also flicked her wrist.

An unbelievable situation occurred before Xia Yi’s eyes.

Five sword lights appeared almost simultaneously. Each one cancelled out the sword qi unleashed by Xia Yi, and there was even an extra one that struck Xia Yi’s body.

This was the only way to break through.

“Ugh!”

Xia Yi was sent flying and landed on the ground.

Atiya had clearly held back in that attack and hadn’t taken it seriously.

“How is this possible? Atiya, how do you know this technique, and how are you even stronger than me?!”

“Just learned it.”

“What?”

“I found Princess’s technique interesting, so I learned it on the spot.”

Xia Yi couldn’t understand.

She had spent a lot of effort studying and using this sword technique in actual combat, refining it through experience. Yet someone claimed to have just learned it on the spot… and even performed it better than her.

Five Instantaneous Slashes.

This was unacceptable!

“You’re talking nonsense!”

“I’m not,” Atiya shrugged and said nonchalantly. “After all, I got tired of swordsmanship long ago.”
