X-Dragon Era

After discussing the upcoming itinerary and receiving Xin Yun's promise to be careful, Yi Luo Xiang finally relaxed, chatting and laughing with Xin Yun; it seemed they never ran out of things to talk about. Your journey continues on empire

As they joked for a while, Yi Luo Xiang suddenly noticed something wonderful. Looking at Yinglong moving gracefully, observing the wings closely folded on its back, Yi Luo Xiang laughed and said, "Xin Yun, your dragon is so strange! I just realized it can fly without using its wings!"

Hearing Yi Luo Xiang's words, Xin Yun proudly raised his head, "Of course, this isn't just any ordinary dragon. This is a true Divine Dragon that doesn't need wings to fly!"

Listening to Xin Yun's words, Yi Luo Xiang couldn't help but smile, nodding in agreement, "Yes, indeed... Even without wings, this dragon flies so fast. But... since it has wings, why not use them? And... how much faster would it be if it used those wings?"

"Hmm!" Upon hearing Yi Luo Xiang's question, Xin Yun was taken aback; indeed... ever since he started flying on dragons, he had assumed it was the same as his previous life, never realizing the dragon he was now riding was no longer a Fire Dragon but Yinglong, a dragon with a pair of wings!

Speaking of speed alone, even without using the wings, Xin Yun felt the speeds of the two dragons were similar, but what if the wings were used? What kind of speed would that be? Surely the speed wouldn't decrease instead of increasing!

With a slight movement of his heart, Yinglong quickly responded, its body moving fluidly, its large dragon wings slowly unfolding. As the wings that were folded and pressed close to its back fully opened, nine sharp spines suddenly sprang from the back of Xin Yun's neck, close to the dragon's head.

Upon closer inspection, among the nine sharp spines, three stood up behind the body, forming a structure similar to the back of a chair, while another two slanted forward, turning into armrests. The following two were positioned at the bends of the legs, and the last two were placed perfectly under the feet, for stepping on.

The nine sharp spines not only completely enclosed both Xin Yun and his companion, but they also firmly protected their bodies. No matter how they moved, there was no way they could fall off; even if they wanted to jump off intentionally, they couldn't—it was like being pinned between the sharp edges of the dragon's horns at the front.

Looking at the crisscrossed dragon horns that securely fixed both riders in place, Xin Yun's eyes lit up; it was as if he was driving a massive dragon-shaped motorcycle.

Stretching out his hands, Xin Yun gripped the slanting dragon horns with both hands, as if he were riding a grand motorcycle, exuding a commanding presence. Moreover... the surrounding sharp dragon horns provided him with complete protection. Anyone attempting to attack him would be torn to shreds by these spines.

Xin Yun sat in the back, and Yi Luo Xiang in the front, both straddling atop the dragon's neck. Yi Luo Xiang sweetly nestled in Xin Yun's arms, carefully holding onto his arms, eagerly awaiting the flapping of Yinglong's wings.

"Woo..." Finally, after securing themselves in place and Xin Yun's hands grasping the dragon horns, Yinglong's outstretched wings gave a fierce flap, instantly transitioning from horizontal to vertical flapping. With a single forceful beat, an indescribable power surged from the dragon's body.

"Damn!" Accompanied by the beat of Yinglong's wings, Xin Yun immediately felt a powerful force pushing him from behind, feeling an even greater propulsion than an airplane taking off!

The wings flapped once, and Yinglong's flying speed at least doubled! The dragon tore through the air, emitting a sharp whistling sound; if it weren't for the energy shield provided by the dragon's head, it would probably have been impossible for them to breathe.

Divine Dragons innately do not need wings to fly. Some might say, having wings on a dragon is superfluous, but a snake with legs becomes a dragon, and similarly, a dragon with wings is no longer just any dragon—it's Yinglong! Just a notch below the Azure Dragon, but stronger than any other dragon!

Speaking of speed alone, the winged Yinglong is absolutely exaggerated. It may not be able to match the Azure Dragon, leader of the Four Saints, but compared to any other dragon, it's unparalleled.

Under Xin Yun's control, Yinglong's wings continuously flapped at increasing speeds, doubling and then continuing to rise. At the same time, Xin Yun could distinctly feel the Dragon Ball inside his body beginning to output a tremendous amount of energy, and the amount of energy output had reached equilibrium with recovery! In other words, in this state, Xin Yun could maintain indefinite flight!

Xin Yun was truly astonished. Although his current speed couldn't compare to the diamond-level Fire Dragon from his previous life, one must realize that his current strength was merely that of a bronze One Star, and he wasn't even flying at full speed yet!

Swallowing hard, Xin Yun gritted his teeth and, after whispering a few instructions to Yi Luo Xiang beside him, resolutely issued the command for full-speed flight. With Xin Yun's command, in the blink of an eye... Yinglong suddenly raised its dragon head and let out a long, resonant dragon chant, as its speed explosively increased!

Within the span of a single body sway, Yinglong's wings spread wide and then powerfully flapped down in an instant, completing one beat. Then, as if the wings had never closed, they opened again and fiercely flapped once more.

With Yinglong's full-speed flight, the powerful thrust pinned Xin Yun firmly against the three sharp horns, and especially Yi Luo Xiang in his arms, was pressed tightly against him.

To avoid collision and to hold on tighter, Yi Luo Xiang had now turned around to face Xin Yun, her arms wrapped firmly around Xin Yun's waist. At this moment... under this tremendous thrust, Yi Luo Xiang and Xin Yun seemed to have merged into one!

With the full-speed flight, Yinglong's velocity had doubled again on top of its already doubled speed, the surrounding clouds were quickly left behind, and the mist ahead charged towards them like a stampeding herd of horses.

"Hiss... huff... whoo..." As Yinglong passed by, due to the extreme speed, it completely vacuumed the space in the air, only for the surrounding air to rush back with a violent roar after they passed. Indeed... this was the hallmark of supersonic flight—the sound barrier produced by high-speed flight!

Although in his previous life, the Fire Dragon that Xin Yun controlled was not known for its speed, it still wasn't a dragon known for slowness. To achieve this speed at the bronze One Star level, even Wind Attribute dragons couldn't do it!

Yinglong's wings, somewhere between the appearance of a bat's wings and a fish's fins, were not too big, but definitely not too small. Spreading the wings didn't create any drag, yet a single flap could generate a tremendous thrust!

Frowning deeply, Xin Yun knew there was something peculiar about Yinglong's wings; they were completely different from the wings of ordinary dragons. One should know... the wings of ordinary dragons, once spread out, create immense drag, hindering their flight speed.

Observing the flapping of the dragon's wings closely, Xin Yun's eyes suddenly lit up. So that's how it is... Yinglong, worthy of being a Water Series dragon, had a flapping method different from ordinary dragons, directly related to water.

Oars! That's right... When Yinglong's wings spread, they pushed forward flat, not creating resistance but lying flat in the air, with only a thin edge creating a slight drag, negligible.

But once in motion, the wings would instantly flip to a vertical angle, the whole surface of the wings coming into contact with the air, creating immeasurable thrust with a lightning-like sweep.

Among all dragons, the Dragon Class of Cathay exhibits the least air resistance, while others like the Pig Dragon, Niu Long, or the likes of Rabbit Dragons, have large bodies. Not to mention their wings, just the drag of the body in the air is already substantial.

In contrast, dragons from the Shen Long Clan have only a single point of resistance, similar to snakes. Although Yinglong has a pair of wings, the way they flap is quite similar to oars, not creating drag but only thrust.

The combination of powerful thrust and ultra-low resistance resulted in the lightning-fast speed now achieved. Unleashed with full force, Yinglong's speed finally reached its limit, a realm Xin Yun had never before experienced!
