“Woo? (What is this?)”
Dabai tilted his head, his round dragon eyes curiously fixed on the elaborately woven reins in Lin Yi’s hand.
“Just stay still!”
Seeing that Lin Yi was about to put the rope around his neck, Dabai immediately recoiled alertly, straightening his upper body and shaking his head like a rattle drum.
His two front paws waved like a human’s, indicating strong protest.
“Master, Alps is not a lowly livestock, don’t put a rope on him!”
Dabai proudly lifted his chin, closed his eyes, and looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.
He didn't want anything on his neck.
“I must eat dragon meat today! You…”
Lin Yi hadn't finished speaking.
“Woo~”
Dabai stuck out his tongue, lowered his body, and prostrated himself at Lin Yi’s feet, looking very well-behaved.
“You won’t shed tears until you see the coffin; you just need a good beating!”
Lin Yi glared at him fiercely, then, following the instructions, simply put the rope around Dabai’s neck.
As soon as the knot was tied, a magical scene suddenly appeared.
White light, like flowing lava, spread from the rope, covering Dabai’s back neck and spine.
After a moment, the white light dissipated.
Dabai was already fitted with a light black, rather well-fitting saddle.
“Clatter clatter—”
Feeling uncomfortable, Dabai shook his body, trying to shake off the saddle.
But the thing was stuck to his scales, unmoving.
“Alright, settle down!”
Excitement in his eyes, Lin Yi strode forward and swung himself onto Dabai’s back.
Just as he was about to fasten the seatbelt, he remembered there was also a set of full armor.
“It seems a bit difficult to put on by oneself…” Lin Yi looked at the tightly sealed dark gray armor on the ground, his brows slightly furrowed.
Suddenly!
The ground emitted a faint soft light, and the full armor seemed to hear a command, floating uncontrollably into the air.
Clang! Clang!
Arm guards, shoulder guards, face mask, chest plate… dozens of components disassembled themselves.
Under Lin Yi’s stunned gaze, piece by piece, they flew rapidly towards him, precisely fitting onto his body in strict order.
Like Iron Man transforming, in the blink of an eye, Lin Yi was completely encased in the fully armed armor, with only a crimson observation slit left at the helmet’s eye level.
“Amazing…”
Lin Yi looked through the slit at his fingers, which were still flexible despite being encased in the armor, and his affection grew stronger.
Unlike the Demon Leopard Set he wore during the day, after equipping this full armor, he didn’t feel the slightest bit of heaviness!
Joint movement was also unobstructed; the craftsmanship far exceeded his understanding.
“Don’t mounts also have equipment?” Lin Yi suddenly thought.
His gaze also turned to where the full armor had been, where a fist-sized metal ball remained.
“Buzz—”
As if to confirm.
The metal ball immediately rose, rapidly expanding and deforming in mid-air, then disassembled itself and attached to the panic-stricken Dabai.
“Roar—”
Soon,
the entirely pure white Light Dragon was completely covered by dark gray armor!
From a distance, it looked like a sharp-edged, high-tech metal Light Dragon!
“Let’s go, let’s go, take me for a spin!!!”
Lin Yi could no longer contain his excitement; he fastened his seatbelt and pulled the rope in his hand.
“Hold on tight, we’re taking off!”
Dabai seemed to like the handsome armor on him as well, his voice tinged with excitement.
After a brief period of activity on the ground to adapt to the armor, he lowered his body, sinking his four limbs, and raised his powerful dragon tail high.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The metal-covered wings flapped violently, and the man and the Light Dragon, like arrows released from a bow, shot towards the sky.
“I… I… Holy sh*t!!!”
A strong sense of weightlessness swept over Lin Yi!
He couldn't see the scene ahead; he only felt the world spinning and the wind roaring in his ears!
For a moment.
Lin Yi felt as if his great-grandmother was waving to him.
He gripped the rope tightly, his greaves firmly latched to the saddle.
He tried to regain his balance.
If not for the safety buckle, he probably would have fallen off right after taking off!
“Damn it, slow down!”
“Let me get used to it first!”
“…”
After an unknown amount of time.
Dabai’s excitement in the sky gradually subsided, and he spread his wings, gliding steadily.
“What did you take? I’ve never seen you fly this fast before!”
Lin Yi’s complaint came from beneath his mask.
Fortunately, his strength had improved today; otherwise, with that maneuver just now, he wouldn't have been scared to death, but he would have thrown up everything he ate tonight.
“I slept again, and I grew up!”
Dabai’s voice echoed in Lin Yi’s mind.
“You can sleep that much?”
Lin Yi was a bit shocked.
Didn’t novels say that Light Dragons slumber for decades or even centuries?
That’s too fast!
Thinking of this, he opened Dabai’s data panel.
After seeing its contents, Lin Yi was shocked again.
…

…
Dabai had already reached Level 30!
And he had activated his ancient bloodline, no wonder his slumber time was so short.
“The energy rule of Light…”
Lin Yi read softly.
Throughout the entire territory, when it came to the intensity of light energy.
Besides the territory’s unique characteristics, only the Light Refinement Pool remained!
It was also possible that both were working simultaneously.
“Bloodline reversion will also awaken stronger talents…”
“Light Dragons are different from villagers who only have ‘Pristine’ aptitude; their combat power is stronger…”
“Ailina happens to need a Caster Legion.”
“Now that I have money, I need to recruit more Light Dragons.”
Collecting his thoughts.
Lin Yi focused his attention on his first experience flying a Light Dragon.
Dragon Knight!
This was one of the professions he most yearned for in his childhood.
Now!
His dream had finally come true.
I, Lin Yi, am also a Dragon Knight!!
After flying for a while.
Lin Yi and Dabai’s coordination finally improved.
At the very least, he wouldn't be startled by sudden dives, causing his blood to race, and he could barely keep up with Dabai’s flying rhythm.
Looking down from high altitude, trial beasts continuously emerged from the cracks around the territory below; Lin Yi didn't know which wave this was.
In short, the spearman legion warriors never stopped.
These things that appeared out of thin air were like strings of data.
They were useless except for becoming numbers on his trial points leaderboard.
“Dabai, let’s go check out that area.”
The white rings in Lin Yi’s eyes glowed brightly, and the scenery of the southern basin at night was unobstructed.
“Okay!”
Dabai let out a low roar, turned his body, and flew quickly towards the south.
…
“Elder Xue, can we really deal with a Light Dragon?”
Xia Jie leaned against a rock, breathing slightly, somewhat uneasily, “When the trial starts, can the blood guards in the territory hold up?”
“Don’t worry.”
Alex’s hoarse voice sounded, “This is just a Level 2 Civilization Trial; the territory will be fine.”
“The key tonight is that we must hunt down that Level 20 Light Dragon.”
“Its light-attributed essence blood can grant you light resistance, which is especially important as a follower of darkness.”
Xia Jie’s lips were pale, thinking of his conversation with Alex in the tent earlier.
He said with a hint of hope, “Lin Yi’s hero is only a Half-Angel; he shouldn’t be the one we need to deal with, right?”
“Or should we improve our strength first and return to the empire later?”
Alex said, “Hmm, be careful… I’m suddenly not interested in him either.”
He didn't want to attract the attention of those wandering Angels by curiously hunting a Half-Angel.
Recalling those terrifying, mystical beings, the consciousness of his remaining soul began to tremble.
He never wanted to experience that feeling of being purified a second time in his life.
