Episode 1 – The Ring of the Coiled Dragon Chapter 14 – Battle in the Sky (Up)
Early in the morning of the second day.
The open space on the east side of Wu Shan town is still the same as in the past, a large group of children gathered, at this time Hillman and other three instructors have not yet arrived, the children are all together talking enthusiastically, the topic can not be separated from yesterday’s shocking battle.
“Yesterday, that magic beast is very powerful, when Uncle Hillman and the others went to the center of the town, I was following behind them, peeping from a long distance, you guys don’t know ah. That huge beast just smashed the ground with its thick hooves and claws, and the stone floor was completely shattered. And those houses, just like mud, they all collapsed.”
‘Hadley’, the best talker among the group of children, was talking in the center of the group of children with his spit and hands in the air, as if he had seen everything clearly.
And most of the kids listened to Hadley with wide eyes.
“Hadley, you were in the east clearing yesterday like the rest of us, didn’t dare go, did you. How did you see it?”
A brown-haired teenager who looked to be thirteen or fourteen said with a grunt.
These older teens were not seven or eight year olds who were easily deceived by Hadley.
Hadley looked at the thirteen or fourteen year old teenager and glared, “Fla, you don’t believe me? When have I, Hadley, ever cheated anyone?”
The brown-haired teenager called ‘Fla’ said disdainfully: “Who doesn’t know that you Hadley’s big mouth, how many of the words in his mouth are true? Hey, let’s all say, Hadley this kid when ever said the truth?”
Flora said to the group of teenagers next to her.
The twelve, thirteen, fourteen and fifteen year old teenagers all laughed: “That’s right, that little kid Hadley, he’s always full of nonsense.”
Some of the older teenagers were clearly on Fla’s side.
At that moment, ‘Hadley’ became anxious: “You don’t believe me? Fine, you don’t believe me!”
Exasperated, Hadley looked in all directions, and suddenly saw Lin De, his eyes lit up, and he immediately said loudly, “As you all know, yesterday, apart from Uncle Hillman and the three of them, it was only Linley who went, and Linley saw it with his own eyes. Linley’s words should be true now, right, you guys let Linley say whether or not I’m telling a lie?”
“Young Master Linley?”
Those teenagers looked towards Linley.
Linley was still very much in the eyes of the group of teenagers and children in Wushan Town, for one thing, Linley was the eldest son of the Baruch family, and secondly, Linley was a child of only eight years of age, yet his physical training was catching up to that of a thirteen or fourteen year old teenager. In the martial continent of Yulan, Linley’s excellence had also caused the teenagers of Wushan Town to admire him.
“Young Master Lin Lei did see it with his own eyes yesterday, we certainly believe what Young Master Lin Lei says.”
Those teenagers nodded their heads.
There were thirteen or fourteen years old, and those teenagers understood things in their hearts, knowing that Linley was a noble, different from them. They generally called Linley ‘Young Master Linley’, and only Hadley and a group of seven or eight year old brats, who were not big or small, directly addressed ‘Linley’ affectionately.
“Linley, tell me, did I lie or not, what was it like back then?”
Hadley immediately ran in front of Linley, pulling on Linley’s hand, and quietly making eyes at Linley.
Linley couldn’t help but be helpless, this Hadley was blowing smoke over there, how did he get himself involved.
“That magical beast is called a ‘Velociraptor’, a level seven magical beast, very powerful. The whole body’s scale armor is very hard, the sword can’t hurt, there is also that sturdy with the long whip like tail and sharp claws, those hard stones, slate in the raptor’s tail, under the sharp claws, as if it was papier-mâché. And it can also breathe fire from its mouth, even the stone slabs can be scorched and cracked.”
Linley said honestly.
The group of children all quietly listened to Linley narrate.
“Actually, there’s no need for me to say it, everyone should be able to imagine how powerful the raptor is when they see it.”
Linley said with a final smile.
Those teenagers nodded their heads.
When they had first seen the ‘Velociraptor’ yesterday, they had indeed been stunned. The Velociraptor’s massive body was like a small hill, and that huge fiery red scale armor was able to guess its hardness just by looking at it.
“Hear that? I told you, that magical beast called Velociraptor is powerful.”
Hadley yelled out at this moment as well.
The teenager called ‘Fla’ immediately had his eyes glazed over and was about to speak up.
“Uncle Hillman is here.”
Linley immediately let out a shout when he saw Hillman, Rory, and Roger coming over in the distance. Immediately, all of the children and teenagers quieted down, and one by one, they all lined up in groups of three in a very disciplined manner.
In this open space, it was quiet all of a sudden, and only the footsteps of Hillman’s trio could be heard.
Hillman three people walked to the front, facing a group of children. Hillman directly smiled and said: “Everyone knows about yesterday’s incident, right?”
“Yes.”
Hearing Hillman’s casual attitude, the children below immediately answered one after another.
“Good.”
Hillman’s face steeply straightened, “That huge magical beast is a raptor, and on the raptor’s back are mysterious magicians, they are very powerful, but everyone should know!”
Hillman’s gaze was stern, scanning the group of children in front of him: “That mysterious magician, he is also a step-by-step cultivation, want to subdue the powerful raptors, but also need many years of hard work! If you want to conquer that powerful beast, if you want to be as powerful as that mysterious wizard, then you need to work hard, keep working hard!”
“Anyone, has the possibility to become strong. The difference only lies in whether you work hard or not!”
Hillman said firmly, his gaze cold and stern.
The group of children and teenagers were quiet, only the older teenagers had their own thoughts in their minds, and their eyes became different.
“Good, we will now begin today’s morning exercise, the old rule of facing the sunrise and performing the ‘Yum Chi Style’ exercise.”
Hillman was dry and straight to the point, and at once the children of all three teams began their ‘containing qi style’ training.
According to the different situations of each team, Hillman formulated different training tasks, and under the supervision of the three instructors, one by one, the children earnestly worked hard to complete the various training tasks. The atmosphere of today’s training was obviously different, and almost no child cried out in exhaustion.
Everyone was holding their breath in their stomachs and training hard!
“Fifty, fifty-one,” Linley counted in his heart, at the moment Linley was lying on the ground, supporting his body with only the five fingers of one hand and the tips of both feet, his body completely taut. He was performing the one-handed five-finger push-up.
The one-handed five-finger push-up was a simple but effective way to exercise finger strength as well as arm strength.
Those who wanted to become great warriors generally practiced the Fighting Spirit Tantra, and the achievement of practicing Fighting Spirit generally depended on the strength of the body, the stronger the body was the more Fighting Spirit it could withstand.
“I contain a dragon blood warrior bloodline in my body, I can’t cultivate fighting qi, I can only far surpass others in exercising my body.”
Linley’s eyes were firm, his five fingers gripping the ground like an old tree coiling its roots, doing one after another, causing many of the teenagers next to him who had already exhausted their strength to be envious and jealous.
“Ninety-eight, ninety-nine,” Linley continued to hold on.
“Today’s morning exercise, ends here.”
Hillman looked at the three teams of children and said aloud.
After saying that, Hillman took a deep breath and thought in his heart, “What story should I tell today?”
At the end of the morning practice every day, Hillman asked the children to tell a story, which had already become a routine.
“Uncle Hillman, we–”
A child’s voice came to a halt.
Hillman, who at the moment was mentally preparing himself slightly, heard these half-said words and couldn’t help but be puzzled for a moment as his head looked over. At this moment, all the children of the three teams were dumbfounded as they looked towards the sky in the east, and at this moment, Rory and Roger also similarly turned around to look towards the eastern sky, with shock in their eyes.
“Eh?”
The puzzled Hillman, could not help but turn around and look towards the eastern sky.
Only to see in the east not far away, two to three hundred meters in the air, a length of a hundred meters of black dragon winding hovering in mid-air, the black dragon’s eyes as if a huge wheel, that huge body on the black scales are flickering with a chilling cold aura, that a pair of unfolding together with a hundred meters of huge wings, is powerful slightly flapped.
Magic Beast ‘Black Dragon’!
