Elvi not only didn’t believe it, but also narrowed her eyes. Although she wasn’t clear about what that strangely-shaped weapon actually was, the giant dragon sensed a pressure called danger from it.
It was very strange. Elvi was certain that the elemental concentration she had covered Su Li’s body with was indeed at the power level of a ninth-level monster beast, but to say that this level of strength could pose a danger to her…
Any humanoid monster beast would probably laugh out loud upon hearing such words.
Yet the fact was so unreasonably that it made Elvi feel a sense of crisis.
Su Li looked down at the MK14 in his hands, which was the fully automatic sniper rifle from the game…
He genuinely felt the unreasonable creativity of the elements.
However, rather than calling it creation, it was more accurate to say that after the wind element materialized, it had manufactured a compression machine in the form of an MK14, ensuring that when the user pulled the trigger, it would fire elemental bullets compressed to a terrifying density.
But unfortunately, even with this weapon, Su Li wasn’t using his own power. The result of borrowing others’ power was that this sniper rifle could only fire one bullet.
The conclusion was that the experience card was still a one-time experience card. Even after transforming its form, it remained just a one-time experience card.
After Su Li gently exhaled, he said, “It seems I already have the basic conditions ready to make that Adonis you mentioned believe I’m a dragon bloodline awakener.”
“But unfortunately, if I use this weapon to prove my power, then afterward I’ll only have the last layer left of the three layers of power you’ve covered me with…” Su Li blatantly deceived Elvi.
He wanted to test whether he could trick the dragon into giving him another chance to use her power.
He had never seen someone voluntarily deliver trump cards to his door, and it was even a buy-one-get-one-free deal.
Su Li was in a very good mood. After Elvi glanced at him lightly, his excitement level rose by more than just one notch.
Having left a farewell letter for those who remained behind, Su Li peacefully said to Elvi, “Take me away.”
The dragon felt somewhat puzzled. She gazed at Su Li’s eyes, which showed no particular emotional expression, and for a moment felt that within those emerald pupils lurked whirlpools that secretly devoured everything like those hidden in lakes and rivers.
But how could that be possible?
He was just an ordinary human.
——When recalling this day in the future, Elvi would regret countless times why she had introduced someone who would explode the entire monster beast social system into that world.
While he still showed some restraint in human society, when facing foreign races, especially a group whose mere existence was equivalent to hindering his retirement, Su Li would only constantly want to enjoy the sense of crisis that came with accompanying fierce beasts, making all beasts compete for it…
Outside Rota County.
Adonis looked at the dragon that had silently approached them, already within arm’s reach. He lowered his head and said to the black dragon beside him who harbored particular hostility toward him, “Victoria, Your Excellency Elvi has returned.”
“You don’t need to tell me, I’m not blind yet.” Victoria jabbed at him, then turned her attention to Su Li, who was being carried at the tip of Elvi’s claws.
“Is this the descendant with the same bloodline as yours? Being weak to this extent, there’s no way he could survive among the dragon clan.”
“Or are you already prepared to keep him by your side at all times?”
Elvi nodded in response, “Su Li is still very young. I plan to wait until he comes of age before performing the bloodline transformation on him, so he can become a dragon worthy of my bloodline.”
“You can do it, can’t you?” Elvi directed her gaze to Su Li at the tip of her claws.
Su Li looked with despair at those blue eyes that resembled Cyril’s.
During the dragon’s original form state, those eyes were like priceless giant sapphires. Unfortunately, someone who wasn’t a gem enthusiast couldn’t perceive beauty from such magnificence.
Su Li, positioned high in the air, said with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes, “Of course, I’ve always believed that the word ‘weak’ cannot be arranged and combined with me.”
“He does seem to have a bit of dragon-like demeanor.” The black dragon looked Su Li up and down—this “slender,” “weak,” “powerless” Su Li—and continued, “If you think you have nothing to do with weakness, then show your strength to prove it.”
After saying this, Victoria gave Adonis a provocative glance.
Rather than having Su Li prove his own strength, this black dragon was actively encouraging Su Li to attack Adonis.
Su Li, who also wanted to try the elemental version of the MK14, showed a shy smile.
Victoria also said, “What does Mr. Adonis think of my idea?” The black dragon deliberately used an honorific.
“After all, dragon bloodline isn’t some lowly thing, unlike your crane clan, which is as numerous as those land beasts, constantly emitting various foul odors for long periods.”
This was no longer a provocation, but a real intention to start a fight, wasn’t it?
Su Li couldn’t help but click his tongue, and Elvi also set him aside at this moment.
Adonis still maintained his smile.
This single action alone earned considerable respect.
“If Miss Victoria intends for me to test this child’s strength, then you can just say so directly.” After transforming into human form, Adonis even adjusted his cuffs. “In terms of strength, although I belong to the civil officials, I’m not so weak that I can’t even provide guidance to a young cub.”
“Um.” After the gazes of the two confronting parties focused on him, Su Li said with an air of nonchalance, “Please don’t have too many expectations of a young man who just turned thirteen not long ago. What you call ‘providing guidance’ would only be one-sided beating in my view. I’m very weak—so weak that once you hit me, you might have to beg me not to die.”
Adonis slightly narrowed his eyes, “So what do you plan to do? Have me defend with full force while allowing you to attack freely?”
“If that’s the case, then nothing could be better.”
Adonis suddenly laughed, saying strangely, “Cubs with courage like yours are rarely seen anymore.”
“I truly hope you can remain as brave as you’re showing now for a long, long time.”
Su Li found it amusing inwardly.
They were all thousand-year-old foxes—what was the point of using asymmetrical smiles, obviously raised chins, and those downward-glancing eyes to intimidate him?
For a young man who had mastered body language to perfection, as long as he removed his glasses, anyone who tried to use elemental pressure to suppress Su Li would only get a Su Li who smiled particularly innocently.
Adonis’s identity as the Queen’s close minister? The special significance that even Elvi, this dragon, couldn’t directly kill him?
What did these things have to do with a poor young dragon descendant who knew nothing about monster beast society?
Su Li directly raised his sniper rifle.
The monocle was fitted increasingly quickly. Su Li closed one eye tightly, squinted the eye wearing the lens, and looked through the scope at Adonis, whose body wasn’t surrounded by elemental coverage. He deliberately turned his head aside with feigned surprise and said in a deliberately drawn-out, seemingly puzzled tone, “Aren’t you going to provide some protection for yourself?”
“Although my strength isn’t much, if there’s an accident and I hurt you, that would be a great sin on my part.”
Adonis still smiled, that smile covering his face like a mask.
Before the man could speak, Victoria, who had transformed into the appearance of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, mockingly said, “How could someone like Lord Adonis be hurt by a cub like you? Stop looking down on him. Besides, even if you did hurt him, could Lord Adonis really hold it against a cub like you?”
Su Li also put on a mask of smiles on his face.
These words were not worth responding to.
Adonis indeed took the bait, “Just as Victoria said, if you truly injured me, it would only be because my skills were inadequate. How could I possibly punish or blame you… right?”
Su Li directly pulled the trigger before Adonis’s trailing tone had completely faded.
The wind element that Elvi had covered Su Li’s body with also included the dragon’s rule-level control over wind elements. The wind elemental bullet that Su Li fired by pulling the trigger didn’t cause any recoil shock to the entire gun body.
Accompanied by the regret of the one-time MK14 gradually dissipating, Su Li calmly watched Adonis’s pierced chest.
The crane’s pupils dilated, blood flowing steadily from his chest.
After monster beasts transformed into human form, their body structure and internal organ positions were almost identical to humans.
Su Li had aimed for his heart’s position from the very beginning.
At that moment, with the crane’s heart pierced through, Su Li witnessed an attack that Adonis had launched heading toward him. With both his tone and gaze remaining calm, he said, “You violated what you just said—that even if injured, you would acknowledge your own inadequate skills rather than punish or blame me.”
That incoming attack was blocked by Victoria.
At this time, the girl’s eyes were red with excitement as she said to the crane whose heart had been pierced, “Unable to even keep your own words, how do you have the nerve to call yourself the Queen’s most valued minister, Adonis?”
“Now you’re even despicable enough to directly attack the next generation of dragon clan cubs. Should I consider this as you, Adonis, attempting to declare war on the dragon clan in the Queen’s name?”
Victoria’s voice grew increasingly loud, “If that’s really the case, then I’ll accept the challenge!”
Adonis spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. After pressing the back of his hand to the corner of his mouth, he discarded the mask that had always been covered with smiles and looked at Su Li, who was being shielded behind Victoria, with gloomy eyes.
Su Li had long known this would happen.
Elements were more like a substance. Even though they provided ultimate enhancement to the body, this enhancement still had to be explained on a biological level.
Why did elementalists with powerful physical bodies always need to use elements when fighting each other?
The reason was all too straightforward.
Unless it was an extremely extreme existence like Bartholomew, who was perhaps the only one of his kind in the entire world, other species that used elemental power would inevitably have to employ this force during combat.
——Without using elements to resist elements, flesh and blood simply couldn’t defend against them.
Secondly, even though people in this other world had refined control over elements, this control was only as delicate as cotton thread guidance in fine moments, and as rough as vast vegetation in crude moments.
They simply didn’t have the ability to directly compress the power of vast areas into a single cotton thread for use.
The characteristic of modern weapons was being small, highly concentrated, and highly explosive. Combined with the destructive power of elements on the human body, Su Li wouldn’t be surprised if Adonis died directly under that elemental bullet.
The young man moved to Victoria’s side, exposing his entire body to Adonis’s gaze.
Su Li looked down at the man who could no longer control himself and had half-knelt, clenched and unclenched his now-empty palms several times, showing a slightly regretful expression, then raised his chin. His downward-glancing eyes reddened Adonis’s eyes as he said in a flat tone:
“Now, repeat what you just said.”
——‘I truly hope you can remain as brave as you’re showing now for a long, long time.’
Hunter and prey had immediately switched positions.
