“Take a deep breath, inhale, exhale, tell me, do you feel the power surging within you?”
In the spacious training ground, the white-haired, golden-eyed dragon girl stood straight in the center with her eyes closed. She held a very strange posture, her body trembling uncontrollably.
It had been more than ten days since Linglong woke up from her coma. Under Leticia’s meticulous ‘conditioning’, the dragon girl quickly recovered her original energy and resumed her responsibility of managing the tribe from Leticia.
And today, Linglong finally managed to steal half a day of leisure from her tedious work, and was forcibly dragged to the training ground by Leticia to explore the secret of transforming into a dragon.
In fact, after her body had fully recovered, Linglong had tried to recall the feeling of transforming into a dragon, but the result was not satisfactory. Now, recalling the feeling at that time, she could only remember that she was super powerful and only needed to follow her instincts in everything she did.
As for the method of transforming into a dragon?
She couldn’t remember at all!
“This posture is so strange, I can’t stand steady anymore!”
“Hold on a little longer, I believe you can do it!” In response to Linglong’s plea for help, Leticia coldly refused. She was holding a wooden stick in her hand, exuding an aura of ‘I am the devil coach’.
Once Linglong’s posture had any deviation, her stick would immediately fall on the problematic area, correcting the posture.
Another white-haired girl sat cross-legged at the edge of the training ground, with a beautiful starlight long sword inserted in front of her. A beam of starlight was being guided by her onto Linglong.
Well, in order to control the variables, Leticia had directly called Bai Ling over, with the goal of replicating the scene at that time.
“Without your starlight, she definitely won’t be able to transform!” Leticia confidently assured Bai Ling, and exchanged a day’s worth of… for Bai Ling’s help.
Being pressed underneath for a day wasn’t like she had never been pressed before. Compared to such a thing, the dragon horns were the most important thing! Leticia thought to herself.
Speaking of攻受, Leticia and Bai Ling were evenly matched. Except for Leticia’s ungentlemanly sneak attack at the very beginning, the two girls’ victory counts were roughly fifty-fifty. If calculated precisely, Miss Bai had won a few more times than Leticia.
There were many reasons for this, such as Leticia being overly exhausted during the day, or having done something guilty during the day which made her afraid to resist at night, or simply not wanting to be the ‘攻’ and wanting to be a ‘小弱受’.
In short, there were many reasons, endless reasons. Her being pressed underneath was definitely not because she couldn’t win, but every failure was a gift she gave to Bai Ling.
Well, a gift!
A gift from the goddess!
“I feel like your method doesn’t seem to be very useful.” Looking at the two girls interacting intimately in the distance, Bai Ling’s eyebrows twitched slightly. It wasn’t that she was sensitive, but the posture Linglong was in now… was indeed quite alluring.
Perhaps to show that she really wasn’t thinking of anything strange, before bringing Linglong over, Leticia had asked Linglong to change into a rather loose sportswear, the kind that was very ugly and directly halved one’s appearance when worn.
Even so, Linglong, now striking the pose required by Leticia, was still somewhat heart-pounding. If it were Linglong’s original dress… the scene would truly be unimaginably beautiful.
Hearing the voice from afar, Leticia turned her head angrily and shouted, “You just quietly be my buff machine. I’m using a scientifically supported potential stimulation method. Do you understand the value of thousands of years of experience?”
“Using scientific demon potential stimulation methods to train beastmen, should I complain?” With a flicker, Bai Ling appeared beside Leticia, holding her star sword in one hand and ruffling Leticia’s head with the other. “I think it’s still necessary to get Linglong into that state from back then.”
“You’re taking advantage of me touching my head again, aren’t you? So what if you’ve grown taller? Believe it or not, I’ll chop off your feet one day!” Leticia batted away Bai Ling’s unruly hand from her head with an unhappy expression and rolled her eyes, indicating that she had already thought of this method. “The situation back then is basically impossible to replicate. Linglong was fighting for her life back then. Where can we find an enemy who can put Linglong into a desperate struggle again?”
After defeating the Lion Tribe Chief, Linglong had already become the strongest in the borderlands of the Great Plains. The second-ranked warrior couldn’t even last five moves in front of this all-around excellent warrior, let alone fall into a desperate struggle.
Even the god-blood warriors who had consumed divine blood were like playthings in Linglong’s hands, easily kneaded.
In such a situation where her eyes could not find an opponent, where could she find a sparring partner for Linglong?
Could it be that Leticia and Bai Ling would personally go down?
This was not a bad idea, the only problem was that Linglong knew that these two would not kill her, and the emotions when being beaten would definitely be different from when fighting back then. Without that kind of life-or-death will, Leticia really didn’t think Linglong could replicate the actions back then.
Aren’t all Tokusatsu shows like this? The most important thing for transformation is willpower. Without that willpower, even with a transformation device, it’s useless.
Moreover, to beat Linglong to death for this reason, it seemed a bit…
“I don’t want to be beaten!” After hearing this plan, Linglong immediately expressed her attitude clearly, stating that she would absolutely not accept this training plan.
Striking poses like dancing was fine. Apart from being a bit embarrassing, there were no other problems. Especially when wearing the sportswear provided by Leticia, she didn’t even feel ashamed.
But being beaten would really hurt!
Linglong had almost been beaten to death a few days ago, and she wanted to rest. She didn’t want to fight anymore.
To be honest, Linglong was a peace-loving girl. Unless absolutely necessary, she wouldn’t make a move. Rather than solving problems with force, she preferred to use her brain to solve problems.
“See? So now we can only experiment slowly. It would be great if a powerful enemy could suddenly fall from the sky.” Leticia looked up at the sky, as if praying for something impossible.
“Don’t pray for such things. It’s okay if you can’t transform into a dragon. I’ll accumulate strength here with peace of mind. When my strength is sufficient, I can slowly reach into the Great Plains.” Linglong’s future plans were very clear. She knew that the Bone Wing Tribe’s current strength could indeed sweep across the borderlands of the Great Plains, but if it were to enter the interior of the Great Plains, they would be like an ant that could be crushed at will.
With the impoverished resources of the Great Plains’ borderlands, it was a very difficult thing to fight against the tribes in the interior of the Great Plains. The tribes that survived here were all beastmen who had committed mistakes and were exiled.
And once a place of exile was unified, it would be difficult to counterattack back into the Great Plains, right?
Once they, the exiles, appeared in the interior of the Great Plains, they would not face the containment and pursuit of a single tribe, but the malice of the entire Great Plains.
Therefore, everything needed to be carefully planned.
Linglong had only taken the easiest step on a difficult long road. The difficulties and crises that would follow would be far more numerous than what she had encountered before.
To pull the current Great Beastmen God from the altar, this goal was indeed too ambitious.
Even Leticia didn’t think Linglong could achieve this. Although this girl was exceptionally talented, she was still too weak on her own (excluding Leticia and Bai Ling).
“It’s good that you can think this way. I was worried that you would swell up after defeating the Steel Spear Tribe and feel invincible, wanting to go into the Great Plains to die.” Leticia was very gratified by Linglong’s self-awareness. She also felt that the Bone Wing Tribe needed to rest for a while to properly digest the legacy left by the Steel Spear Tribe, and by the way, unite the other small tribes, at least letting them know who was the boss of the Great Plains’ borderlands now.
“By the way, since the situation here has stabilized, I actually want to bring some of my tribesmen over…” Linglong thought for a moment, and finally spoke her mind.
The place where the beastmen lived was the Great Plains, and outside the Great Plains was the endless desert. Someone would surely ask, shouldn’t the borderlands of the Great Plains be very large? Why did Linglong take such a short time to become the so-called co-lord of these Great Plains borderlands?
This question was actually easy to explain, because those who could live in the interior of the Great Plains would definitely not come to the borderlands of the Great Plains. The tribes living here were all exiled.
Since they were exiled, to survive in this harsh environment, huddling together for warmth was a necessary thing. The exiled tribes gradually gathered, forming a loose tribal alliance with the Steel Spear Tribe as the backbone.
Their distance from each other was closer than the tribes in the interior of the Great Plains, and they were easier to wipe out in one go.
There were a few such exile gathering places in other parts of the borderlands, but they were too far from Linglong, so there was no point in looking for them.
The leader of the Bone Wing Tribe’s borderlands actually referred to the leader of this part of the borderlands.
But even a part of the borderlands was an extremely vast territory, not much smaller than the tribes in the interior of the Great Plains.
The Great Plains’ borderlands had such an advantage: as long as you had a big enough appetite, you could expand infinitely, and no one would stop you.
It was just that in such a harsh environment, it was truly difficult to support beastmen in such a large area.
“My tribesmen live in the Southern Sleeping Dragon Mountain Range, at the junction of the interior of the Great Plains and the borderlands. The relationships between the forces are very complicated, with both cooperation and conflict. It is because of this reason that my tribesmen have a gap to survive.” With trustworthy people around, Linglong also revealed her biggest secret.
However, Linglong had only heard of this place and had not been there herself. Since she could remember, she had been living with her father. Later, she encountered attacks from other beastmen and had to flee to the borderlands of the Great Plains.
“There are many tribes gathered in the Sleeping Dragon Mountain Range. Father said that they are not living very well, so I was thinking of letting them migrate here. Although the resources are a bit scarce, at least they won’t have to live in constant fear.”
Linglong didn’t understand why the beastmen were chasing them, the dragon people. Judging by the behavior of the beastmen in the Great Plains’ borderlands, they didn’t recognize the dragon race at all. This meant that this pursuit was carried out in secret.
Well, in secret, those who could mobilize large armies for encirclement and suppression, ‘in secret.’
Perhaps it was because the beastmen in the Great Plains’ borderlands were not qualified to know such things, Linglong could only think so.
“Going so soon? Your tribe isn’t very stable yet,” Leticia asked curiously. She had always been curious about Linglong’s tribesmen, and now that Linglong had brought it up, she was even more eager to investigate.
“Hoo hah, I can’t hold on any longer. This method is indeed useless.” Linglong lowered her leg, which she had raised high above her head, with a tired expression on her face. “The Steel Spear Tribe has already been destroyed. I defeated the Steel Spear Tribe’s leader in front of everyone. The Bone Wing Tribe replacing the Steel Spear Tribe as the owner here is a foregone conclusion. Even if I’m not here, Xiaomimi and the others can handle this.”
“Besides, I’m not not coming back. I’ll make arrangements before I leave. This period of time requires recuperation. As long as we don’t mess around, it will be fine.”
Linglong had actually made arrangements. This period was the most leisurely time for her. If she didn’t take this opportunity to go on a long trip, it would be troublesome for her to go on a long trip later.
“It seems you’ve already planned it.” Leticia was wholeheartedly in favor of Linglong’s decision, because she really did want to see Linglong’s tribesmen. “Do you mind having two more travel companions on the way?”
“Eh?”
“It’s also very boring to stay here all the time. Since we’ve come to the beastmen’s land, we should definitely take a good walk around.” Leticia said with a grin, and at the same time, she nudged Bai Ling with her elbow, “Bai, are you interested in going on a trip?”
Bai Ling had no opinion on such matters. Since Leticia wanted to go out and have fun, then let’s have fun. For Miss Bai, as long as Leticia was by her side, she would have no objections.
“I don’t mind.”
“But…” Linglong was still a little hesitant. Telling Leticia that she was going to find her tribesmen and bringing Leticia to find her tribesmen were still different things.
But what Leticia said next completely petrified Linglong. “Don’t hesitate. Even if you don’t let us go, can’t we just follow you secretly?”
Her reasoning was sound and convincing. If Leticia and Bai Ling were to follow her secretly, Linglong felt that she would have no way of detecting their tracks.
“So don’t overthink it. I’m not a demon, I won’t eat people.”
