Grinding EXP From Fireball Skill

"Why are you crying?"

Li Wei looked at Saint Xi, a little flustered.

It was the first time he had ever seen Saint Xi cry.

Her expression was one of utter sorrow.

Overwhelming grief turned into tears that fell from her eyes.

Saint Xi murmured, "My mother..."

"Your mother?" Li Wei looked confused.

Saint Xi turned and bolted in a certain direction.

As she ran, she took flight, moving so fast that even Li Wei couldn’t keep up.

Li Wei stood stunned for a moment. Only when Saint Xi’s figure was about to disappear behind the courtyard wall did he snap out of it.

He hurriedly used his Object Control Skill to begin Flying, chasing after her disappearing form.

By the time Li Wei caught up to Saint Xi,

he found she had been surrounded by a group of people.

Just as he was wondering who these people were,

he spotted a familiar figure in the crowd.

’Locks! Why is he here?’

Li Wei was utterly astonished.

Gu Sewei hadn’t told Li Wei that she had asked the Human Empire for help.

Saint Xi stared at the Dragon Scale in Locks’s hand, which resembled a jade Gemstone. Tears streamed endlessly from her eyes.

"Mother..."

That was her mother’s Dragon Scale. It contained her mother’s aura.

Locks clutched the Jade Dragon Scale, staring at the young woman before him with a look of surprise.

’Is she the Giant Dragon we’re looking for?’

’Why is she a human?’

’Wait, are those... Dragon Horns?’

Locks noticed the Dragon Horns on Saint Xi’s head.

He immediately realized the young woman before him was not human, but a Giant Dragon.

The human form was merely her incarnation.

Locks’s eyes narrowed slightly. He realized things might be more complicated than he had imagined.

However, he had made thorough preparations before coming to hunt the Giant Dragon.

He was confident he could win, even against a Legendary Giant Dragon.

"Form up! Prepare for battle!"

At his command, everyone immediately moved.

They raised their weapons, aimed them at Saint Xi, and formed a battle array.

The Armor on their bodies shimmered with a black radiance, and an invisible Power spread out, blanketing the entire area.

Saint Xi felt her body grow sluggish.

A certain Power was suppressing her Giant Dragon bloodline.

Normally, as a Holy Giant Dragon with a Holy Dragon Body, Saint Xi shouldn’t have feared any abnormal status effects.

But as Saint Xi stood within their encirclement,

she still felt a suffocating sense of suppression.

It was a terrifying pressure originating from the very source of her bloodline, one that inspired an urge to submit.

Saint Xi froze for a moment, then immediately realized this suppressive Power came from a more powerful member of the Dragon Race.

Noticing the change in Saint Xi’s expression and her weakening aura,

Locks revealed a slight smile.

This was his trump card for hunting a Legendary Giant Dragon—the Demon Dragon King’s Sigh.

The Demon Dragon King’s Sigh was a set of Armor forged using the Power of the Demon King Dragon, and it had an extremely potent suppressive effect on the Dragon Race.

During the Human Empire’s Peak, they had relied on this set of Armor to hunt and kill many Giant Dragons.

It wasn’t until the Dragon Blood Warriors grew in power that the Demon Dragon King’s Sigh faded from the stage of history.

To this day, the number of people who knew this set of Armor existed could be counted on one hand.

Before the Jade Prince gave this Armor to Locks, he too had never heard of such miraculous equipment.

As for why the Demon King Dragon would help humans forge a set of Armor specifically for use against Giant Dragons,

the specific reasons were long lost to time.

Perhaps only the owner of the Armor, the Jade Prince, knew the secrets behind it.

Suppressed by the Demon Dragon King’s Sigh Armor, Saint Xi couldn’t help but feel a surge of fear.

She felt a supreme pressure originating from a higher place in her bloodline.

Today, the Demon Dragon King had become the head of the Dragon Race.

His bloodline reigned supreme over all other members of the Dragon Race.

Saint Xi was already terrified of the Demon Dragon King to begin with.

Just a sliver of the Demon Dragon King’s Power was having such a tremendous effect on her.

This invisibly amplified the fear in Saint Xi’s heart,

bringing her to the brink of submission under the Demon Dragon King’s might.

Having lost her courage, Saint Xi was unable to unleash her Power, even though she was at the Legendary Level.

Just as Saint Xi began to sink into despair,

Li Wei’s voice echoed from the sky, reaching both her and Locks’s ears.

"Locks. I knew it. No matter how many times I see you, you always manage to be unpleasant."

The flames in Li Wei’s hand transformed into a soaring Fire Dragon.

The Fire Dragon circled in the night sky, looking down upon everyone on the ground.

The might it exuded was even more astonishing than that of the Demon Dragon King’s Sigh.

The Demon Dragon King’s Sigh could only be perceived by those with a Dragon Race bloodline.

But the Fire Dragon before them was genuine Magic.

If it descended, it could destroy them all.

Hearing the familiar voice, Locks snapped his head up. He saw Li Wei’s figure, and his eyes narrowed, his pupils constricting.

A cold smile also appeared on his lips.

"Ahaha, what a coincidence! I didn’t expect to run into so many... surprises tonight."

Li Wei had killed one of his important bodies.

Locks thought about getting revenge on Li Wei every waking moment.

Unfortunately, Li Wei had been forced by the Light Divine Sect to flee the Elemental Tower, and his whereabouts were unknown.

Locks had been unable to find any trace of him either.

He had assumed Li Wei would die at the hands of the Light Divine Sect, and that his own hope for revenge in this lifetime was lost.

He never imagined he would actually see Li Wei tonight.

Seeing Li Wei made him even more excited and pleasantly surprised than seeing Saint Xi.

’I can finally get my revenge!’

Locks didn’t plan to kill Li Wei. He was going to turn Li Wei into his new puppet.

He would even preserve Li Wei’s consciousness, just to let him know what true despair felt like.

Saint Xi looked up at Li Wei, raised her right hand, and called out weakly, "Li Wei, save me..."

Li Wei glanced at Saint Xi and said, "Don’t worry. As long as I’m here, no one can hurt you."
