Sky-cracking Rider
Chapter 1213 1184: Shared Dragon...Knight?
"Emmm..."
Chen Fei turned around to take a look, then turned back and spread his hands towards the over a hundred challengers in front who seemed a bit stunned, showing his helplessness. He had just shaken the dragon, but who would have thought so many would come.
Yilan is the Big Sister among the young dragons in the Dragon Breeding Garden, and in Chen Fei's understanding, naturally the Big Sister of the Metallic Dragon young dragons. But who knew it wasn't just the Metallic Dragons' young ones, she was also the Big Sister of this generation's other types of young dragons, and there were even some powerful-looking magical beasts mixed in.
A magical beast that can hang out with giant dragons could hardly be weak.
Becoming a Dragon Knight, even if they tried to silence the people involved, wouldn't change the trope around Chen Fei. Sky Dragon City didn't acknowledge it anyway—no Dragon Flute, no contract, how could that be considered a real Dragon Knight?
And that wasn't even the worst. Worse yet, Chen Fei was celebrated as a Dragon Slayer.
So he never showed off in front of adult dragons; if they got in a bad mood and accidentally sneezed him to death, wouldn't that be unjust?
"Old Party?"
S-Class Space Series Ability User Heseman Brown called out to the nearby Earth Order War Professional.
"Hmm!"
Dang Wei Jun unusually responded.
"Didn't that 'Rookie' say life's unfamiliar before?"
"Hmm!"
"I feel I lost points on this comprehension question; the unfamiliar beings are people, not including dragons."
"Hmm!"
The truth has been revealed!
Heseman Brown: "..."
Dang Wei Jun: "..."
Mason's housekeeper: "..."
It's as if the entire Dragon Breeding Garden of the Imperial Capital has been lifted, a large group of young dragons and magical beasts among them howling menacingly, just waiting for the Big Sister's command to mercilessly bully the weak. Even the smaller young dragons seemed fierce yet cute, but the aggressiveness was still full. Anyone who didn't believe it could slap one of them to see who's dead.
If the Monk were here, he'd probably say summoning these unruly young dragons wasn't a big deal; if the whole area around the Imperial Capital had Pure Light Sparrows summoned instead, not just these young challengers and the entire Imperial Stadium, but even Delan City might not survive.
"So...is the duel starting? My mount, you decide!"
Chen Fei gestured behind him without turning his head: silver dragons, red dragons, black dragons, white dragons… oh, not just dragons, but also some magical beasts that looked tough, like a fully stocked "weapon rack," offering the rare privilege of choosing one's method of dying as an opponent.
Dozens of meters away, heirs from Duke's, Count's, Marquis's, Viscount's, Baron's, and Knight's families, and those acting as proper knights and ministers' heirs, were all terrified at Chen Fei's words, swallowing nervously.
All of them combined couldn't compete against any of his companions, be it dragons or magical beasts, each with infamous reputations capable of wiping them all out in seconds.
Sidney Ona, the Noble Emblem Institute representative acting as duel referee, would not allow such a grossly unfair matter, and his stern voice resounded throughout the Imperial Stadium inside and out.
"This is not allowed! There are no more Dragon Knights on Cangqiong Star!"
His words represented an official stance, echoed by the audience chorus.
"Despicable Blue Star people, daring to entice our dragons!"
"Get out, desecrators of sacred duels!"
"Have the guts to fight on your own!"
"..."
The entire stadium was a frenzy due to the unexpected event and the intentional guidance of the Noble Emblem Institute representative.
The relationship between Cangqiong and Blue Star had been reasonably good, comradeship even decades ago. But now, tensions were rising, with Blue Star unilaterally severing relations, and unilateral declarations of sovereignty war, leading to the closure of many "Dimensional Gates."
As such, social opinion was not friendly to Chen Fei as a Blue Star person, and even this duel challenge likely stemmed from such reasons in part.
Chen Fei: As a Blue Star participant, I deeply apologize. If you're unhappy, come and fight me!
A tail like a gun barrel reached from behind, coiling Chen Fei by the waist and lifting him off the ground.
The next second, a storm-like synchronized gasping sound filled the Imperial Stadium.
Chen Fei stepped confidently onto the back of the female gold dragon Yilan, geometric shapes rapidly forming into a complete set of "Dragon King" Assault-Type Heavy Armor. Extending his right hand, a silvery flash revealed a six-meter-long Railgun. A 152mm "Justice Judgement" loaded in the chamber, buzzed ominously, its muzzle aimed directly ahead.
With the power of a 152mm Demolition Bomb, four could cover the whole field; since it was a duel, only half needed covering—two theoretically eliminating the opponent. In reality, one was enough, and it had excessive destructive power.
Even without Yilan and the other dragons or magical beasts, Chen Fei wasn't easily dealt with alone.
The posture of a man and a dragon caused another uproar akin to mountains and seas among the audience in the Imperial Stadium.
"A Dragon Knight!"
Sidney Ona, the representative of the Noble coat of arms, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise at the microphone in front of him. He initially thought it was just a show, never expecting it to be real.
How many years has it been, Dragon Knights have long since disappeared, who would have thought they'd see this combat pairing vividly appear before them again.
To have a Metallic Dragon willingly become a mount inevitably reminds one of the previous Metallic Dragon Knight, the "Lord of the Sky" Lin Mo.
Nowadays, the proud dragons are no longer willing to let humans step onto their backs. Whether it's Metallic Dragons or dragons of other elements, if anyone dares to have such presumptuous thoughts, there is only one outcome—being torn to pieces by the angry dragons.
However, this time, it seems not only Metallic Dragons are willing to act as mounts, but dragons of other elements and even magical beasts mixed in are eager to give it a try.
Ten seconds later, the atmosphere suddenly changed.
"B-Big Sister, is it my turn!"
A young Psychic Illusion Dragon with a babyish voice also extended its tail, rolling Chen Fei from Yilan's back onto its own, just striking a pose when the flash went off.
The Phantom Dragon Knight was born, a living one, and the photos taken were quickly posted online for bragging. Awesome!
"I-I, I'm next!"
"I want to, I want to too!"
Young dragons began howling, crowding over, all eager to get Chen Fei onto their backs and take commemorative photos on the spot.
"Don't rush, line up, line up, everyone gets a turn being a Dragon Knight!"
Big Sister Yilan held a camera at the tip of her tail, beginning to direct the young dragons to take turns becoming Dragon Knight mount partners.
Metallic Dragon Knight, Phantom Dragon Knight, Flame Dragon Knight, Silver Dragon Knight... Magic Beast Knight, within just a few minutes, Chen Fei rode each of the dragons and magical beasts.
"Emmmm… I feel like something's not quite right!"
Heseman Brown rubbed his chin, looking puzzled at the group of young dragons vying to get Chen Fei on their backs, as camera flashlights went off non-stop.
Chen Xiao'er was already numb, letting the young dragons have their way, after all, they were just a bunch of clueless young dragons treating him like a toy, completely forgetting about the serious matters.
Sharing a Dragon Knight, is this keeping pace with the times?
You must not understand dragons through human thinking, everyone is different.
The juvenile female Metallic Dragon Yilan finally remembered that the purpose of this visit was to help Chen Fei in the duel. After a circle, Chen Fei was back on Yilan's back, feeling a sense of peace, thoughts of being a Phantom Dragon Knight, Flame Dragon Knight, or such, he didn't dare to entertain.
Yilan took a step forward and roared at the young noble scions who were overwhelmed and unsure whether to launch an attack or retreat: "Do you still want to continue?"
The young dragons surrounding them and magical beasts joining the fun also roared menacingly, preparing to fight again, and this time a group brawl. Fighting in the Dragon Breeding Garden was a daily occurrence, those naturally gentle young dragons had long been led astray.
The mount Blue Scaled Colt under him retreated a few steps from the face of incoming killing intent, the young duke's heart filled with horror as he shouted: "This isn't fair!"
To have actually tricked the dragons into being mounts, this was beyond despicable, Chen Fei didn't even need to act, as any one dragon or magical beast on the opponent's side was an invincible opponent.
"Dragons and Magical Beasts above Human Rank Seventh Order are not allowed to participate in the duel, this is the regulation of the Heraldry Institute."
Sidney Ona, representative of the Noble coat of arms, mustered the courage to project his voice into the central area of the stadium.
He wasn't very confident in his words, if these young dragons insisted on launching an attack, there was simply no one in the entire stadium capable of stopping them, and it was not just one young dragon in the field but a group, even an existence on a Heavenly Order level would find it difficult to cope.
Yilan turned back to whisper to Chen Fei on her back: "Hey, Chen Fei, these guys don't want us to help, what should we do? Should we just go for it?"
"It's fine, with you cheering me on, I'm already halfway to victory."
Chen Fei, carrying a railgun over six meters long, jumped off the dragon's back directly, having been treated like a Dragon Knight toy by the young dragons created a psychological shadow, he's really not a toy!
The momentum had already been taken by their side, and the opposing side's morale was greatly diminished, being stared down by a group of Evil Dragons, managing to exert even thirty to forty percent of battle power would be a blessing.
Turning back holding the railgun, Chen Fei said to the young dragons and magical beasts present: "Thank you all for your help, let me handle this battle, can you support me from the rear?"
The main purpose of wielding dragons wasn't to have these young dragons beat the challengers to petals scattered, but to exert a deterrent effect.
The Silan people of Cangqiong Star aren't fools, their stance has been skewed from the start, naturally, they wouldn't sit idly by as the young dragons interfere in the duel, so the duel rules and targeted restrictions announced by the representative of the Noble coat of arms didn't come as a surprise to him.
"Everyone heard that? Fall back, fall back, make room, our Dragon Knight is about to show off!"
The female Metallic Dragon Yilan immediately started driving her little companions to a distance, the prestige of Big Sister was unparalleled at the moment.
After retreating over a hundred meters, Yilan turned back around and threatened those challengers from afar: "You guys, if you dare to hurt my Dragon Knight, we'll level your families!"
Despite having rare rationality and a love for reading and studying, a leopard can't change its spots, Metallic Dragons remain a kind of brutal and violent Evil Dragon.
