X-Dragon Era

Once the speed reached a certain level, although the resistance was minimal, it became impossible to accelerate further. Once the wings were spread, no matter how fast they flapped, they could no longer generate any propulsion. Instead, the insufficient speed of the wing flapping would produce resistance and reduce the flight speed.

Upon witnessing this scene, Yinglong, at the behest of Xin Yun, tucked its wings tightly against its body on either side. The entire dragon's form was as straight as a pencil as it shot through the clouds. In this way, Yinglong was like a bullet, with the only resistance coming from the direction of the bullet's head.

Under the force of its powerful inertia, there was no need for further acceleration. Like an arrow shot from a bow, Yinglong broke through the clouds with a howling sound, hurtling forward like lightning. Wherever it passed, the clouds were pierced, creating a tunnel over ten meters in diameter!

During the previous acceleration, Xin Yun had expended quite a bit of energy. However, after providing enough power, Yinglong, like an arrow that had left the bow, no longer needed additional propulsion to fly far. Therefore... in this form, Xin Yun found that he was not consuming any energy at all.

Not only was he not consuming energy, Xin Yun could clearly feel that the energy within the Dragon Ball, which had already been partially depleted, was still recovering at a rapid pace. In a short time, it had fully replenished!

Xin Yun was completely astounded. After Yinglong retracted its wings, the resistance was astonishingly low, less than one percent of the total volume. Therefore, once it reached high speed, it could glide. According to this theory, couldn't he then maintain full speed indefinitely?

Of course, to maintain full speed, it was necessary to flap the wings from time to time. Once a noticeable decrease in speed was felt, a few swift flaps would be made, and then the speed would reach its peak again.

Sitting silently atop Yinglong, Xin Yun was at a loss for words. After all... among the Shen Long Clan, only Yinglong had wings, or more precisely, those with wings were Yinglong. Apart from Yinglong, he couldn't think of any other dragons that could do this.

Take the Fire Dragon from Xin Yun's previous life, for example. Although it could also reach high speeds, it had to constantly move its body. Once it stopped swaying, the speed would quickly decrease. It could glide, but because the speed was too slow, it couldn't glide far.

If the propulsion provided by the dragon's body movement was to be considered as one, then the propulsion provided by its wings was four, yielding an effect fourfold greater and achieving an astonishing speed. Coupled with the minimal resistance, this led to the remarkable outcome—permanent full speed!

This Yinglong was different from ordinary dragons. Its horns were not like deer antlers but were a pair of sharp spikes protruding backward. The lines of its head were incredibly sleek, like the tip of a sharp arrow, with even less resistance than a bullet. Other than Yinglong, Xin Yun couldn't think of any dragons capable of this.

Anyone who has flown on a plane knows that during takeoff, the pushback force is significant, but once it enters high-speed flight, one can hardly feel any thrust at all. If the airflow is steady, it's no different from sitting at home.

Therefore, once Yinglong achieved and maintained full speed, Xin Yun and Yi Luo Xiang finally came to their senses. They watched the tumult of clouds sweeping towards them and the whooshing layers of clouds passing by. Both forgot to speak, staring dumbfounded at everything before them.

The current speed was truly too fast. Taking A'Da's Pig Dragon as an example, if its speed was 10, then Xin Yun's current speed was 100, no less, and in fact, significantly more.

Therefore, the distance Xin Yun could cover in a day was roughly equivalent to half a month's travel for A'Da. Don't forget that A'Da wouldn't fly at full speed, and even if he did, he would need to rest for two hours after every four hours of flying. Moreover... A'Da was, after all, a businessman. He had to make money, and this inevitably led to delays.

Xin Yun, however, was different. Although he couldn't fly automatically, he could maintain nearly unrestricted full-speed flight, flying for three days and three nights, then resting for a day. Thus, in a week, he completely made up for A'Da's three months of travel. Finally, as they were about to arrive at the City of Death, Xin Yun and Yi Luo Xiang actually caught up with A'Da!

As it happened, it was Yi Luo Xiang who first noticed. At the time, Xin Yun was flying at full speed through the clouds while Yi Luo Xiang wasn't idle herself. Comfortably leaning against Xin Yun's chest, she cast Soul Ripple, detecting the surroundings. Although she hadn't summoned the Flash Butterfly Dragon, in her human form, she could still exert a fraction of her abilities.

While flying, Yi Luo Xiang suddenly detected a fat flying object ahead, moving at a slow speed and not too high off the ground, quite a distance from the cloud layer; it emitted an aura that Yi Luo Xiang found very familiar. With her near-photographic memory, she was able to confirm the other party's identity without a doubt.

Learning that the flying creature ahead was none other than A Da, Xin Yun couldn't help but laugh, bending over to whisper a few words to Yi Luo Xiang. Since they had run into him, they definitely had to scare the guy for a good laugh. After all, they were all at the same Bronze One Star level, so there was no fear of him attacking in desperation. And even if he did, what of it?

It was just a Pig Dragon.

After murmuring to Yi Luo Xiang, Yinglong suddenly spread his wings wide, significantly slowing his flying speed due to the huge resistance. At the same time, Yinglong quickly maneuvered his body, diving into the cloud layer in the distance after exceeding A Da by quite a stretch.

With a mischievous giggle, Yi Luo Xiang playfully wrinkled her nose and then extended her right hand. Amidst the clouds, a sea of flowers bloomed, with a purple Flash Butterfly appearing just above Yinglong's dragon head, right under Yi Luo Xiang's feet.

From within the cloud layer, Xin Yun issued his final instructions, "I'll go first and intercept him from the front. When he dodges, you suddenly appear and block his path, hehe... Let's not stop until we've scared him half to death!"

"Mhm mhm..." Nodding excitedly, Yi Luo Xiang instantly activated the Soul Chain that she had begun to explore over the past week, linking their souls together. Meanwhile, from the direction of the horizon, A Da's chubby Pig Dragon flew slowly towards them.

"Hehe..." With a strange smile, Xin Yun abruptly sat up straight, clenching the dragon horns tightly with both hands and locking his eyes firmly on the approaching Pig Dragon. Speaking of which, that Pig Dragon really was flying slowly!

Fortunately, no matter how slow it flew, as long as it kept going, the moment of arrival would come. Finally... the Pig Dragon appeared below the two of them. Upon seeing this, Xin Yun let out a loud shout. Accompanying his cry, Yinglong's wings, already stretched open, flapped vigorously, and his body dove steeply like a green lightning bolt, charging toward the Pig Dragon below.

"Whoosh..." Amid the sharp sound of tearing through the air, the Pig Dragon below trembled violently and seemed to intend avoiding the collision. Unfortunately, despite the distance, Yinglong's speed was too fast and the Pig Dragon was too clumsy to dodge. Also, let's not forget that although it was fast, a dragon could swim through the air, moving its body to change direction at any time.

In this world, what could be more nimble than a Divine Dragon?

Just as Yinglong was about to crash into the Pig Dragon, down below... A Da and two women were already screaming in terror. But the next moment... with a twist of his dragon head, Yinglong bizarrely passed by the side of the Pig Dragon's neck.

Following that, like a corkscrew twisting around a pillar, he quickly circled the Pig Dragon several times, nearly entangling it before swooping down from behind and rising again to intercept the Pig Dragon from the front.

"Damn it! This guy... this guy really!" Staring slack-jawed at the Pig Dragon that was about to stop on the other side, Xin Yun's eyes widened as he cursed repeatedly.

Although their near collision was over in the blink of an eye and the distance was quite close, Xin Yun had a clear view. On the back of the Pig Dragon, besides A Da, there were actually two completely naked women. Although they were screaming in fright, it was clear... A Da was actually engaged in a threesome!

"Stop! Don't move..." As Xin Yun bitterly smiled, a sharp voice rang out from the other side. Looking over, Yi Luo Xiang was seen controlling the purple Flash Butterfly beside the Pig Dragon, her voice artificially commanding.

"Not good!" Catching sight of this, Xin Yun shouted out. But although he had come to his senses, it was already too late. At such a close distance, with Yi Luo Xiang's Soul Ripple scan, everything was laid bare before her.

Luckily, A Da was currently lying on his back on the dragon, cradling a pale, voluptuous woman.

Meanwhile, the other woman, startled by the encounter, had lost her balance and her entire upper body was pressing down on A Da, covering up all the indecent areas.

"Ah!" Sure enough, upon seeing such a scandalous scene, Yi Luo Xiang could no longer concentrate on her prank. She screamed, and in an instant the Flash Butterfly disappeared, and after several flashes, she was back in the clouds, refusing to come down.
