Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Presently, there were no other colors in the world, and only burning fires leaped in the people’s eyes.

An ocean of fire spread across hundreds of miles!

It covered mountains, rivers, and the vast earth!

Large swarms of ant tide turned to ashes!

Countless ants burned to death!

Attack?

There was no chance for such a thing anymore!

Madness!

No such thing anymore either!

Under the frantic blow of the ninth-grade spells, the ant tide army suffered unprecedented damage. Although there were still numerous ants, the army appeared unable to sustain itself.

A few more rounds were needed before the ant tide was wiped out and disappeared completely!

This was what everyone thought, and Meng Lei seemed to hear their thoughts. He started a new round of frantic bombardment and smashed down all kinds of ninth-grade spells like they didn’t affect his magic power.

Boom!

One hour later...

The flames on the ground gradually dissipated, only leaving billowing smoke behind. All the mountains and fields were scorched black, and strange smoke filled all directions.

An ant tide that spread more than 300 miles? No such thing anymore! They had disappeared!

A minority had escaped, but the vast majority had lost their lives in the sea of fire, only leaving burnt carcasses strewn across the ground and ashes piled up like piles of soil above unmarked graves.

“The ant tide... is gone just like this?”

Everyone looked at the wasteland-like charred black ground and felt like they were dreaming. It was a surreal sensation.

One hour ago, the fierce ant tide army had come with great momentum, making everyone feel fearful, hopeless, weak, and unable to breathe from the pressure. They had even been forced to retreat!

Yet, one hour later, the ant tide... was gone? If this wasn’t dreaming, what was dreaming? Even dreaming couldn’t possibly bring about such a rapid turn of events!

“Monster! A total monster!” Marchioness Cesia’s mouth twitched. “Continuously releasing ninth-grade spells for up to more than one hour and burning the entire ant tide. Such a terrible Great Ninth-Grade Magician is unheard of!”

“In terms of speed of magic application, magic power reserves, or the usage of spiritual power, all of those reached an insurmountable level. I’m far below him!” Dirk Norway took a breath. “I really don’t know what this boy experienced in a mere month to have undergone such a huge change.”

Fatty Hart, Abbe, and Tanna looked at one another with complex expressions. Their insides felt like huge raging ocean waves.

Fatty Hart smiled bitterly and said, “Though I’ve known for a long time that there’s a big gap between us, I would never have imagined, not even in my dreams, that the gap would actually be this big.”

Abbe and Tanna’s bodies shook.

Yes, Meng Lei’s natural talent is good. His cultivation is fast. Of course there would be a gap! But why would it be this big?

I can’t understand!

Fatty Hart and the other two were quite bewildered and started questioning life.

“Meng Lei from your class is a monster!” The senior student’s face was full of shock. “A Great Ninth-Grade Magician, less than 16 years old... Have you seen anyone like him?”

“Never seen, never heard of!”

Another senior student kept shaking his head. “Even if we search through the entire Fire Dragon Kingdom history, no such monster has appeared! I’m afraid only in the Dragon God Empire can such amazing talent possibly appear!”

“Such a monster can’t be measured by common standards at all. If one tries to compare with him... they are simply looking for suffering...”

“Monster?”

When the three classmates heard that, their hearts lightened.

Yes, he’s a monster! Why am I trying to compare with him?

Upon thinking that, the trio felt much more comfortable inside.

Roar!

At this moment, loud roars suddenly came from the distant horizon, and the figures of big birds appeared in the distance. They formed a dark, black mass, covering the sun and the sky!

“The Flying Dragon Troops!”

“It’s the Flying Dragon Troops!”

“My lady, the Flying Dragon Troops are here!”

“Only arriving now... Hmph!”

Marchioness Cesia snorted coldly as a hint of displeasure flashed across her eyes. Had they arrived one hour earlier, she would have been more than happy to welcome them.

But now... the ant tide is already gone. Were they here to eat the ashes?

Roar!

The Flying Dragon Troops were unaware of what had transpired there. They arrived at the space above North River Pass in no time and then collectively started roaring. action

An overwhelming dragon might poured down like ocean waves as the Flying Dragon Troops... showcased their intimidation skills.

One had to say that the Flying Dragon Troops’ trick was still very effective against ordinary soldiers. Numerous soldiers felt suppressed and had a hard time breathing, so they swayed weakly and couldn’t even hold their weapons.

“Those bastards!”

Although Marchioness Cesia had witnessed the Flying Dragon Troops’ ways long ago, she was still furious upon seeing this scene. Every time, she would be so angry till her teeth itched, but she could only watch them.

Dirk Norway frowned, very displeased with the Flying Dragon Troops’ ways.

Fatty Hart even started cursing, “This bunch of trash! Nowhere to be seen during the resistance against the ant tide, but after the ant tide is wiped out, they are here to mark their presence. What a bunch of bastards.”

“This is the famous Flying Dragon Troops?”

Tanna actually looked at the flying dragons all around the sky, and a hint of approval showed in her beautiful eyes. “Their might matches their fame, indeed. Not the least bit inferior even to the Frost Dragon Wolves Troops of our Frost Kingdom.”

Roar!

The Double-Legged Flying Dragons had very good eyesight and could see everything on top of the North River Pass’ city walls. They looked at the trembling ordinary soldiers and felt very satisfied with their intimidation technique.

Soon, they would descend to showcase their battlefield-cleaning technique, the “most tiring” job.

“Hmph!”

Unexpectedly, at that moment, a cold snort sounded like a muffled thunder in their ears. Most importantly, the sound was so familiar in a way that sent a chill down their spines.

“Gah...”

The 100,000 flying dragons’ bodies stiffened, and their roars immediately stopped. The flying dragons looked at the source of the sound, and immediately, they were so scared that their bodies trembled, and cold sweat oozed out.

“Dragon God above! Why is this devil here?”

The Double-Legged Flying Dragons trembled violently, and even their wings became stiff as if they didn’t know how to fly anymore.

“Him again!”

The Double-Legged Flying Dragon King’s mouth twitched, and he felt extremely upset inside.

This fella appears everywhere... Why am I meeting him again?

“A bunch of trash! Why do I see you all everywhere?”

It was naturally Meng Lei that made the Flying Dragon Troops act like they had seen a ghost. He didn’t like this group of greedy and ugly creatures at all. “What? You want to rob me of my magic cores again?

“I will give you all a chance! Disappear from my sight immediately. Otherwise, I don’t mind breaking your skulls and digging out your magic cores!”

“What?!”

The Double-Legged Flying Dragons were so terrified that their internal organs felt like they were bursting. The nightmarish scenes from days ago replayed instantly in their minds.

Suddenly, the 100,000 Double-Legged Flying Dragons did something that left everyone dumbstruck.

They flapped their wings and flew away like they were running for their lives. They dashed like they wished they had more than two wings!

In the blink of an eye, the original intimidating, mighty, sky-covering Flying Dragon Troops disappeared without a trace, leaving only the Double-Legged Flying Dragon King alone in his original position, floating in the sky alone.

All the other Flying Dragons... fled without a trace.

“This...”

The people on the city wall were shocked.

“This is... the Flying Dragon Troops?”

Tanna’s little mouth opened in shock. Why was it completely different from the Flying Dragon Troops she imagined?

Fatty Hart blinked. “Old bro seems to have scared them to the point they ran away!?”

“What on earth did this boy do to the Flying Dragon Troops?” Dirk Norway’s mouth twitched. “The Flying Dragon Troops ran away once they saw him!”

“It seems the Flying Dragon Troops must have offended him. As such, he pummeled them so badly that they were traumatized!” Marchioness Cesia appeared pretty excited. “Haha! This boy did what I wanted to do but cannot do. Well done! It’s so well done! Haha, I just wonder what Nicholas will do next.”

“Hmm!”

Dirk Norway couldn’t help but look toward the lonely Double-Legged Flying Dragon King. This was an existence comparable to Ninth-Grade Magical Beasts, so how could he give up easily?

The Double-Legged Flying Dragon King stared at Meng Lei fiercely. From his expression, it seemed like he would very much like to skin Meng Lei alive and devour him.

However, Meng Lei only spoke one sentence before he scared Double-Legged Flying Dragon into fleeing, covering his face and ignoring even his pride.

“What? You don’t want your other wing anymore!?”
