The Natural Empire of the Oceanic Dragon

Taishan nodded heavily and said:

"One hundred meters is too far. Even if I accidentally condense a nascent power of the Life Angel, a full-force energy wave wouldn't reach that distance."

The bear-man smiled and patted Taishan's arm, saying:

"Is it possible that you're not good at energy attacks? It's normal that you can't hit anything a hundred meters away. But these two are different. They excel at manipulating various energies to deal fatal blows to enemies."

"The scene of their last battle is probably the height I can reach in this lifetime. I didn't expect it to be even more exaggerated this time, manipulating energy to clash dozens of meters away."

"Victory is only achieved by crushing the energy field onto the opponent. In the end, it probably comes down to a battle of willpower. After all, to cover the opponent's energy field from a hundred meters away, the most likely scenario is that the opponent can't maintain their energy field."

"It is indeed a confrontation of willpower. The mental energy consumed to operate the energy field is terrifying. After the energy fields collide, maintaining the energy field without collapsing consumes a massive amount of mental energy."

"If mental energy is exhausted, it becomes a battle of willpower. Moreover, a rapidly expanding energy field isn't necessarily a good thing. A loose energy field is more likely to collapse faster during a collision."

As soon as Taishan finished speaking, Atilan's water element energy field, which had advanced to fifty meters, stopped moving. The speed of the vortex's rotation became faster, and the sound of the tide rising and falling became more pronounced.

The light blue water element energy field began to deepen in color, indicating that the concentration of water elements was increasing, which meant that the structure of the energy field would become more stable.

At the same time, the consumption of maintaining the energy field would also be greater.

The tiger-person on the opposite side was different. Every step was steady and solid. The energy field advanced one meter, and the color deepened by one shade. At this moment, it had only advanced to forty meters.

Now it depends on whether Atilan, who advanced to fifty meters early, will accumulate energy to the limit of the fifty-meter energy field first, or whether the tiger-person, who accumulates energy to the limit every meter before advancing, will be the first to advance to fifty meters.

Whoever completes it first will have an advantage in the next collision.

Although the two were competing in a forest filled with natural magic, the energy composition of the training ground had undergone subtle changes because the tiger-person often induced wind and thunder elements in the training ground over the past two months.

Specific elemental environments can change local creatures, and powerful elemental creatures can also change the environment of their habitats.

Originally, the tiger-person had yellow fur and black stripes, but after using heavenly lightning to temper her body in the Amethyst Mountains and practicing the Roar of Thunder physique forging method repeatedly revised by the bear-man, she had completely transformed into a white tiger-person with white fur and blue stripes!

Because the tiger-person, unlike the bear-man, was not a Druid, she could not hide the physical changes brought about by the heavenly lightning. From now on, she could only be a white tiger. Of course, the bear-man was purely accustomed to hiding his abilities, always prepared to play the pig to eat the tiger.

Taishan and the bear-man didn't have to wait too long. Even though the tiger-person's skill in manipulating energy was slightly better, her time in contact with wind and thunder elements was still too short.

Atilan still accumulated the energy field of fifty meters in advance and began to slowly advance forward. This move undoubtedly put great psychological pressure on the tiger-person.

Comparing the performance when accumulating energy, the natural magic and water elements contained in Atilan's energy field per unit area were more than the wind and thunder elements of the tiger-person.

"The tiger-person's situation is not good. It seems that Atilan will win this competition."

Atilan has a very big advantage over the tiger-person, which is the endurance and recovery from the fatigue caused by training!

He is a dragon, and the tiger-person's life level cannot be compared to him at all.

Just like the bear-man and the others, they can absorb energy through meditation for a maximum of two hours before reaching the limit of their bodies, and then they need to recover for eight hours before they can meditate a second time.

But Atilan is different. He can meditate continuously for four hours, and the recovery time is also four hours. Of course, the level of a Druid does not completely depend on the accumulated magic value.

In terms of spell training that consumes mental energy and brainpower, Atilan's dragon body still steadily exerts strong recovery power. He is an ocean dragon, and the most outstanding thing is his vitality and recovery power.

Prolonged battles are the classic tactics of ocean dragons. A famous captain's saying is that he can fight you all day, then an adult ocean dragon can last you for a month.

Just like what Taishan and the bear-man said, the collision of energy fields depends not only on energy control, but more importantly on endurance. Can the tiger-person outlast him?

Atilan stood calmly in the energy field. This month, he has been constantly sealing his bloodline in order to better control the ocean dragon bloodline. A month ago, could he build a fifty-meter energy field so easily in ten minutes?

Especially with the tiger-person disturbing the wind and thunder elements not far away.

I have to say, the tiger-person's talent is indeed very strong. No wonder the bear-man tailored the White Tiger Dharma Form for her and entrusted her with perfecting his vision of the martial monk natural sect.

Perhaps, the bear-man will also be a founder of a sect in the future. It's just that the ancestor of the martial monk lineage is actually a Druid, which is inexplicably funny.

Seeing Atilan's deep blue energy field slowly expanding, the tiger-person took a deep breath and concentrated. Since she had already lost the initiative, she had to abandon her current stable approach.

It is unlikely to win now. The tiger-person's plan is to force a draw.

The tiger-person directly summoned an excessive amount of wind and thunder energy superimposed on the energy field, causing her wind and thunder energy field to expand faster than Atilan's, but still maintaining a strong stability, quickly approaching the water energy field.

Who knew that Atilan, seeing the tiger-person's operation, also stopped the expansion of the energy field and took the opposite operation to the tiger-person, compressing the energy field.

The two energy fields finally collided 48 meters away from the tiger-man. The released wind and thunder crashed against the surface of the water vortex, but couldn't penetrate it at all.

Atilan manipulated the massive water flow to continuously impact the tiger-man's wind and thunder, successively shattering several layers of the tiger-man's energy field. The powerful energy vibrations caused blood to flow from the tiger-man's seven orifices.

Seeing that things couldn't be done, the tiger-man decisively abandoned the outer layer of energy and quickly adjusted the structure of the energy field, shrinking it to 40 meters to adopt a defensive posture. The price was that Atilan took the opportunity to attack, like an eighty-pound hammer constantly pounding the tiger-man's chest.

After stabilizing the energy field, the tiger-man directly spat out a large mouthful of blood.

"He spat blood! The previous barrage of spells didn't make the tiger-man spit this much blood."

Taishan slapped the bear-man on the shoulder, and the enormous force almost made the bear-man kiss the ground with his face.

Atilan didn't rush to press the attack, but instead steadily advanced the energy field, constantly eroding the tiger-man's will and stamina.

"Thiel, it seems your Wind and Thunder Twin Wings are nothing more than this. I only trained in the water element energy field for a month, and I easily beat you into a rout."

"It seems my construct won't be sent out."

The tiger-man didn't speak, but silently circulated his true energy to heal his injuries, preparing for a protracted battle.

The energy stirred by the collision of the energy fields lost control and overflowed wildly. A wave wrapped in wind and thunder surged towards Taishan and the bear-man.

The bear-man's expression changed, and he immediately placed his hands on the ground, raising a layer of yellow barrier.

"Taishan, help!"

Taishan twisted his neck and jumped out directly.

"I've been wanting to move around for a while now!"

His entire body was covered in golden light. Taishan actually shattered the wave with a single punch. The sight of his back as he maintained his punching posture made the children reveal admiring gazes.

"Wow, Uncle Taishan is so cool!"

"I'm only twenty years old, call me brother!"

Only his voice was heard, but his person wasn't seen. Taishan still maintained his punching posture without changing.

The bear-man, however, noticed that something was wrong with Taishan and walked out of the barrier to Taishan's side.

"What's going on?"

"The water is too cold, the lightning is too numbing, I can't move. For the sake of the Lightning Mutual Aid Society, help a brother out, give me a hand, and don't let me lose face in front of these little brats."

"No problem."

The bear-man's hand rested on Taishan's arm, and a wave of magic full of earth's aura surged into Taishan's body. He immediately felt power surging into his body from the earth.

"What kind of secret technique is this? Why haven't I seen you use it before?"

"It was all Atilan's suggestion. It's just a prototype for now. I'll take it out for the brothers to see after it's fully developed."

"It's really useful. I'll trade you my Titan Transformation for it, the new kind!"

"No need, you can just take it. I'm quite hoping that one of my friends can become a Titan Angel. Just don't forget to give me a hand when the time comes."

Taishan smiled honestly:

"How is that possible!"

Just as Atilan and the tiger-man were competing, a halfling rode his beloved mastiff, trekking through mountains and rivers, and passing through tree-lined paths to arrive in front of Green Scale Town's sign.

"It really is a garden town. I just arrived at the gate and I've already seen so many kinds of flowers."

Two fish-men wearing exquisite rattan armor and holding obsidian spears suddenly darted out, their sharp spearheads aimed at the halfling.

"Who are you! What are you doing?"

The halfling was so frightened that he raised his hands to show his innocence.

"I am an adventurer. I heard that there is a town in the forest that is full of flowers and has mastered novel food-making methods, so I came to take a look. I have a letter of introduction in my arms."

"Give it to me to see."

The reason the halfling came to explore Green Scale Town was because, after having just explored the Dwarf Kingdom, he returned to his hometown and ate a meal at the newly opened Black Cow Mill.

Soy dregs dumplings, soy milk, and fried dough sticks—the simple and unadorned breakfast instantly conquered the halfling's taste buds.

When the owner, Black Cow, told him that his skills were nothing and that Green Scale Town had real delicacies, he packed his bags and set off towards the forest.

The halfling is not only an adventurer but also a gourmet!

He honestly took out the letter of introduction and hung it on the fish-man's spearhead. The fish-man took it and opened it to take a look.

"It really was introduced by Black Cow. Take him in for dinner."

The halfling was secretly delighted, not expecting to be able to eat local delicacies as soon as he arrived.

Walking into Green Scale Town, the halfling was shocked by the completely different architectural style here.

When he saw the fish-men's dinner, the halfling widened his eyes even more.

"You guys eat this for dinner?"

The fish-man glanced at him indifferently.

"The kitchen only has these left. Who told you to arrive so late? Besides, the Dragon Lord isn't here. The specific standards for entertaining you will be arranged by the elders, but you will definitely have to pay."

"No problem! I brought enough money!"

The halfling said, raising his money bag and making a crisp metallic clinking sound.

"Just make do with it. There will be delicious food tomorrow."

The halfling widened his eyes and asked:

"Don't you consider these delicious?"
