Chapter 235 – One-Punch Dragonkin

With a total of six types of three-star elite dragon units, Mu Yuan and the others had naturally reviewed the information long before arriving here.

They were already prepared for what they wanted to choose.

They wouldn’t wait until standing before the unit buildings to start hesitating.

That said, no matter how eager a lord might be, none would rush—the opportunity to personally witness sixth-tier unit buildings was rare in a lifetime. Especially Tyrant Dragon Lord, who was so excited he kept acting erratically.

Mu Yuan quietly took a few steps away.

At the previous recruitment sites for ‘Raging Fire Dragon’ and ‘Evil-Eye Wyvern,’ Mu Yuan did not enter, but Tyrant Dragon, Kongming, and the other lords had already used up several slots.

Particularly at the ‘Evil-Eye Wyvern’ site.

After all, this unit was a rare find, naturally possessing powerful illusion and curse abilities.

Though a bit ugly, as lords, none of them cared much about appearance.

These representative lords had relatively more freedom in their choices, able to freely select from the six dragon units based on personal preference. Most lords who obtained slots in the Dragon Court, however, didn’t have much room for choice—they could only pick from whichever units still had recruitment slots available.

“This site is the recruitment building for the three-star elite unit ‘Earth Rock Dragon.’ Its superior unit, the Earth Giant Dragon, is quite unique among the great dragons.”

The Earth Rock Dragon is the superior form of the Earth Rock Wyrm.

And the Earth Rock Wyrm… Mu Yuan still remembered its taste to this day.

Though the Earth Rock Wyrm had a tough body and extremely strong defense, the meat beneath its shell was tender and chewy, certified by the gourmet Dolai.

Its ultimate epic form, the Earth Giant Dragon, named after ‘Earth,’ stood out from most great dragons that sported wings and soared freely across the skies.

It couldn’t fly.

In this day and age, a great dragon that couldn’t fly was somewhat embarrassing.

Some dragons even expressed a desire to revoke the Earth Giant Dragon’s dragon status, but unfortunately, its dragon bloodline was exceptionally pure.

“Indeed, although the Earth Rock Dragon cannot fly, it compensates with exceptionally robust defensive capabilities. In siege warfare, they are undoubtedly among the top-tier dragon units, rivaling even the Mountain Giants known for their siege expertise.”

Kongming City Lord directly recruited 5 Earth Rock Dragons here.

He was a pragmatic person.

Compared to field battles or dragon-riding flights, the Earth Rock Dragon, capable of easily breaching city walls, destroying arrow towers, and overrunning monster tribes, could clearly generate more value.

Besides, one could still ride the Earth Rock Dragon.

It just couldn’t fly.

“The Earth Rock Dragon has the potential to awaken a gravity talent, which might allow them to traverse the skies someday.”

“Ah, right, right, right.”

But Kongming City Lord had a point. Shen Mao and the others each used two or three slots on the Earth Rock Dragon.

Two or three units wouldn’t occupy too many slots, and if nurtured properly, they would be more than sufficient for siege and plunder.

Among the six, Shen Mao and Kongming City Lord had 10 slots each; Tyrant Dragon Lord had 15 slots; Wuji and Secluded Mountain Lord had 20 slots each.

Mu Someone, however, had 50 slots.

…

After passing the Raging Fire Dragon, Evil-Eye Wyvern, Earth Rock Dragon, Purple Lightning Winged Dragon, and Burning Steel Wyvern, they finally arrived at the unit building Mu Yuan wished to recruit from.——Recruitment site for the outstanding three-star unit ‘Dragon Strength Swordsman’.

Compared to the previous dragon types, the Dragon Strength Swordsman actually holds no significant advantages—they cannot fly, lack a massive physique, and are merely dragon descendants with decent potential.

“Yet there are advantages. Dragon Strength Swordsmen consume less than half-dragon species, are not as arrogant as half-dragons or true dragons, and, in the future, they have the potential to freely switch between dragon and dragon-human forms. This offers greater tactical flexibility compared to pure half-dragons or true dragons.”

Kongming City Lord adjusted their non-existent glasses, analyzing earnestly.

Since Tianyuan intended to use most of the recruitment slots on Dragon Strength Swordsmen, it must mean that Dragon Strength Swordsmen possessed exceptional merits that they themselves couldn’t perceive.

Should they use their last two slots on Dragon Strength Swordsmen as well?

But they still wanted to recruit two Purple Lightning Wyverns.

Damn it, such a dilemma!

In the end, most people stuck to their original plans and recruited dragon types.

Soon, the first lucky king emerged.

It was Tyrant Dragon Lord! While recruiting Dragon Strength Swordsmen, he recruited a special individual. Although this special individual shared the same class and rank, they possessed an advanced talent and exhibited extraordinary qualities in every aspect.

In the future, their chances of breaking into the Legendary Realm would be significantly higher than those of ordinary Dragon Strength Swordsmen.

Many lords who had obtained slots dared not hope for an epic unit, given the limited number of slots. Their greatest aspiration was to recruit a special individual.

However, a certain Fishing Old Man recruited dozens of times, each time obtaining entirely ordinary individuals.

Not long after, Tyrant Dragon Lord achieved another stroke of luck.

This time, he was even luckier.

While recruiting Blazing Steel Half-Dragons, he directly recruited an SSR ‘Blazing Steel Dragon’—a majestic dragon covered in a red metallic sheen, roaring as it descended to the ground.

The other lords stared wide-eyed.

“Damn you, lucky bastard!”

“My skin is clearly fairer, while yours is so dark!”

“It must be because we paved the way for you earlier—I hate this!”

Half an hour later, the goddess of luck appeared once more, but this time, her favor did not fall upon Tyrant Dragon Lord.

Instead, it was Limitless Lord.

While recruiting Dragon Strength Swordsmen, Limitless Lord recruited an epic-tier Dragon Star Sword Saint. An epic unit, and a dragon descendant skilled with the sword—Limitless Lord was exceedingly satisfied.

“Now, only you remain.”

Cold Moon City Lord turned to Tianyuan. “Come on, hurry up and take a thrilling draw. The others were too slow—it’s frustrating to watch.”

The group returned to the Dragon Strength Swordsman recruitment site.

Cold Moon City Lord took out a special jade token and performed some operations on it. She paused and asked, “Use all the slots here?”

Mu Yuan nodded.

She tapped away, “Go ahead.”

The Dragon Strength Swordsman recruitment structure bore the most traces of civilization. At its center stood two statues—one male and one female—of armored warriors holding aloft greatswords. The statues stood over ten meters tall, imposing and majestic.

Between the two statues was a massive arched gate, rippling with shimmering light.

Surrounding the statues were ruins resembling ancient civilization remnants, faintly revealing the emblem of a certain kingdom.

This dilapidation was not due to neglect in the Dragon Court Land.

Miracle Buildings are enveloped by the power of rules. Unless struck by immense force, they remain eternal and unchanging, regardless of the passage of time.The characteristic of the Dragon Strength Swordsman unit building is its resemblance to ancient ruins, appearing dilapidated and weathered.

“Ding!”

“Prompt: You possess 50 recruitment slots. Proceed with recruitment?”

“Prompt: From the current unit building, you can recruit the Outstanding Three-Star unit ‘Dragon Strength Swordsman,’ with a small chance of recruiting the Epic One-Star lifeform ‘Dragon Star Sword Saint’ or other special dragon-type units. There is an extremely low probability of recruiting Epic Two-Star or Epic Three-Star lifeforms.”

“Prompt: …”

Soon, towering figures began emerging from the massive arched gateway of the unit building.

As depicted in the sculptures.

Regardless of gender, the Dragon Strength Swordsmen wore heavy, full-body silver armor and wielded greatswords that emitted faint, shimmering patterns.

The greatswords measured two to three meters in length.

Naturally, these Dragon Strength Swordsmen were all imposing and robust individuals—both men and women. The female Dragon Strength Swordsmen were slightly more ‘petite,’ but they still boasted bulging muscles, with arms thicker than Mu Yuan’s waist, and each stood over 2.5 meters tall.

They were all strapping figures with formidable physiques.

“Dragon Strength Swordsman (Outstanding Three-Star)”

“Rank: LV1”

“Talent: Dragon Bloodline”

“Skills: Sweeping Strike, Light Slash, Dragon Star Sword Dance/Charged Heavy Slash/Dragon Strength Windmill, Dragonkin Form, …”

These were merely standard Dragon Strength Swordsmen, equipped with basic configurations.

That is, one talent and three to four skills.

Mu Yuan glanced over them briefly, confirmed that the Dragon Strength Swordsmen carried the pure ‘Human Race’ label, allowing them to use Human Race Evolution Points to transcend the Dragon Gate, and felt reassured.

One after another, the Dragon Strength Swordsmen stepped forward, kneeling on one knee before Lord Mu and swearing their allegiance.

“The Dragon Strength Swordsmen are indeed more obedient compared to the Earth Rock Dragons and Evil Eye Drakes,”

muttered the Secluded Mountain Lord.

Outstanding Three-Star tier units were among the highest-ranking conventional units, typically born with considerable intelligence.

Naturally, they also possessed a pride matching their intellect.

Especially dragon-kind.

The few Furious Drakes and Evil Eye Drakes he had just recruited were already looking down their noses at him. And he was a Lord with Epic lifeforms—such was the arrogance of high-tier dragons.

After thirty to forty Dragon Strength Swordsmen had emerged, the massive, rippling arched gateway suddenly erupted with purple light.

“Purple light!”

The purple radiance wasn’t just a common rarity draw.

It signified Epic!

Epic purple!

What emerged from the grand archway wasn’t a human figure but a dragon’s silhouette.

A dragon with sapphire-blue scales, an elongated body, and elegant contours flew out from the gateway.

It soared high, spreading its wings.

Under the sunlight, its scales glimmered with a sparkling brilliance.

A Blue Dragon?

No, its name was the Water Mirror Dragon! A minor branch within the Blue Dragon lineage, a dragon renowned for its powerful spell-reflecting abilities, hailed as a mage slayer.

“An Epic has appeared!”

“Hiss, and it’s a hidden unit among Epics!”

The Secluded Mountain Lord gasped in astonishment.

The Tyrant Dragon Lord gave a thumbs-up: As expected of a dragon master I acknowledge. Not only did he recruit an Epic, but it’s also a special individual among Epic dragons.

Incredible!

Strength and appearance aside, the odds of such a pull… you might recruit hundreds of times without encountering a special Epic.

It was undoubtedly a super rare treasure.

Yet, why was the Tianyuan Lord still so composed? Was this the composure of the most talented man in Taixuan’s history? Impressive! Truly impressive! Admirable! I must learn from this!But it was a bit strange—why wasn’t Tianyuan excited? Instead, he even looked somewhat disdainful.

Must be an illusion.

How could anyone disdain an Epic Dragon? This was a pure-blooded Dragon!

Mu Someone felt somewhat disappointed.

Under his disappointed gaze, the remaining Dragon Strength Swordsmen emerged one after another.

Finally, when the 50th Dragon Strength Swordsman stepped out, his eyes lit up, and he began to feel a little anticipation.

This swordsman…

No, this warrior’s appearance was vastly different from the Dragon Strength Swordsmen. He wore only a thin cloth garment, didn’t even carry a sword, and seemed equipped in the most rudimentary way possible.

Yet, this warrior’s Aura was not lacking in the slightest.

His Fist Intent seemed to transform into a Dragon soaring straight into the heavens. His neat teeth and gleaming scalp shone brilliantly under the sunlight.

He was not a Dragon Strength Swordsman.

“Dragon Strength Warrior”!

Not Epic.

But if Mu Someone’s judgment was correct, this warrior’s potential would far surpass that of an Epic.

Second update…
