Tang Shaoyang was standing still as an enormous creature hovered above him. The Adolescent Golden Dragon flapped its enormous wing and looked down at him. Their gazes met.

"Which fool inherited their bloodline to a filthy human!?" an arrogant voice rang. It was the Golden Dragon who spoke as he noticed Tang Shaoyang had a dragon bloodline.

The size of the Adolescent Golden Dragon was bigger even than the Dark Wyvern despite being adolescent. The golden scales emitted gleaming in power. Its golden eyes filled with contempt and scorn.

"As expected of a dragon, arrogant," Tang Shaoyang did not look away from the dragon. The Golden Dragon did not give the same feeling when he met Rumru the Black Dragon. That time, even though he did nothing, Rumru's aura was enough to intimidate him. However, this Golden Dragon was nothing like Rumru. Of course, the situation had changed as well. He was now level over a thousand already.

"The trial's difficulty is hard, but it will not give me a challenge that is impossible to clear. That means I have a chance against this Golden Dragon," Without realizing it, a wide grin formed on his lips. He was excited as he finally found a worthy opponent to go all out.

"Let's see if you can force me to use Integration and Transformation at the same time or not," After saying that, Tang Shaoyang activated his skill, [Grand Dragon Transformation].

"Futile, Human! Your power is given by a dragon. You can never beat an actual dragon!" The Golden Dragon was not afraid in the slightest in the transformation.

Of course, Tang Shaoyang would not fall for that kind of provocation. He took out the Dragon Destroyer and flew toward the Golden Dragon. He gathered the Slayer Energy in his battle-ax and slashed toward the Golden Dragon's head.

The Golden Dragon disdained to make a move as it stayed still. Of course, it did not let Tang Shaoyang land the attack on its body. There was a golden shield forming before the battle-ax could hit the Golden Dragon. The Dragon Destroyer that was imbued with the Slayer Energy hit the golden shield.

Boom!

The booming sound rang as the deep red Slayer Energy spread out. At the same time, the Golden Barrier disintegrated. The Golden Dragon's eyes widened a little bit. It did not expect that the barrier would be destroyed in one attack.

"So far, Slayer Energy is enough to face the dragon," Tang Shaoyang muttered in a low voice as he flew back. The attack was just a facade. His real purpose was to cast [Basic Detection on the Adolescent Golden Dragon.

——————————

'Hah, the Dragon is level 1978, almost level 2000.' Looking at the level, he realized that the Golden Dragon might be stronger than he thought. The gap between the levels was too big. However, the Dragon did not have a class just like the monster, 'But being a Dragon is the same as having a class,'

"You are not bad, for being able to break my barrier." The Golden Dragon commented, "Maybe that fool Dragon is hoping for something from you, but unfortunately, that is still not enough to defeat an actual dragon." The Golden Dragon opened his mouth wide. A golden flame gathered in its mouth.

Swoosh!

Just like a beam, the Golden Dragon shot the golden flame toward him. Tang Shaoyang was aware that a dragon's fire was not a joke. He would not try to block the flame or even use his Dragon's fire to face the golden fire. He cast his movement skill, [Mirage Stride].

His figure split into eight figures and ran in different eight directions. The golden flame hit the empty ground.

Boom!

The golden fire exploded and swallowed a sizable area. The Golden Dragon noticed the enemy was using mirages to trick him. "Foolish! Do you think you can trick Dragon Eyes with that cheap trick?"

The Golden Dragon immediately located the real Tang Shaoyang. The figure that ran toward it. It opened its mouth again and shot the golden flame.

"You are right about that. As someone who has Dragon Eyes, I should know that mirages will not work on you," Tang Shaoyang agreed with his enemy that he just made a mistake. He then saw the incoming golden fire. It was too fast, but he had a solution for that. He could use [Blink] or [Flash Step] to dodge the incoming fire.

However, he had another idea to counter the golden fire. He activated [Slayer Blade] and formed thirty Slayer Blades. He then countered the golden fire with his [Slayer Blade]. The thirty Slayer Blades moved together toward the golden fire. The first ten Slayer Blades evaporated into nothingness, but the next twenty Slayer Blades cut through the golden fire.

The Golden Dragon squinted its eyes at the sight of the Slayer Blade that managed to cut its golden fire. It then formed a golden barrier once again. This time, the Golden Dragon created multiple barriers instead of one. It learned its lesson to not underestimate its enemy.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The twenty Slayer Blades crushed into the six layers of golden barriers. Twenty Slayer Blades broke five layers of golden barriers out of six layers, "If I only formed one barrier, that blade will hit me for sure." The Golden Dragon muttered in a low voice.

"Alright, playing time is over. It's time to finish this useless fight," The Golden Dragon then tried to find Tang Shaoyang. However, he did not see Tang Shaoyang down there, "Huh!? Where is he?"

"Looking for me? I am behind you!" The Golden Dragon turned its head and saw Tang Shaoyang was right behind him. He had his battle-ax in his hand and slashed it toward the Golden Dragon's next. Of course, he had his Slayer Energy coated the battle-ax. At the same time, he also cast the skill, [Thousand Blast].

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Tang Shaoyang sent the Golden Dragon down with his Thousand Blast. The Golden Dragon fell to the ground with a boom. An enormous pit formed on the ground while dust rose, covering the sorry figure of the Golden Dragon.

"As I thought, even if you are a dragon, he is still Adolescent Stage. He does not have enough experience in a battle," Tang Shaoyang floated in the air as he looked down. The position now changed. He was in the air and the Golden Dragon on the ground.

Roar!

A deafening roar resounded, clearing the dust and revealing the Golden Dragon's figure. The Golden Dragon looked up. Its eyes no longer had arrogance, but seething in fury, "You have successfully made me angry, Human! You will experience a true hell! I will not kill you directly, but I will torment you slowly until you beg to be killed!"

The Golden Dragon's scales around his neck were broken from the strike. Blood was flowing from the wound.

Tang Shaoyang smirked at the Golden Dragon's taunt. But then his eyes widened in the next moment as the Golden Dragon disappeared. Yes, the enormous giant dragon vanished. [Spirit Eyes] and [True Dragon Eyes] failed to see the Golden Dragon.

"Looking for me?" Then he heard a voice from behind. Tang Shaoyang did not have a chance to turn his head as the Golden Dragon grabbed his wings, "You are a land creature, so you should stay on the land!"

The Golden Dragon grabbed the wings and tore the wing apart. It pulled the wings from Tang Shaoyang's back.

"ARRGGHHHHH!" Tang Shaoyang screamed in pain. It was so painful that he could not hold the scream. After ripping the wing apart, the Golden Dragon threw him to the ground.

Boom!

Tang Shaoyang crashed to the ground, and their position reversed. He felt that all his bones were painful. It had been a long time since he suffered an injury in a battle. Some of his enemies in the past gave him a hard time defeating them, but the Golden Dragon was the only one who could injure him to this extent.

Tang Shaoyang stood up and he cast another skill, [Epic Integration. He chose Zara the Exalted Fallen Angel for the integration. She was the strongest spirit he had.

Fwoosh!

Four pairs of the black-feathered wings came out from his back. He lost the dragon wings, but he had angel's wings now. The dust cleared with a flap of his wing. The wing was not the only change that happened to him, but his eyes also changed. The deep purple eyes turned black, while the golden irises and red pupils remained the same.

"What now? Fallen Angel? It seems you have a weird power, but it's futile! You can never defeat a dragon!" Once again, the Golden Dragon vanished.

Before the transformation, he failed to detect the Golden Dragon's movement. This time, he managed to see it now. It was not a movement, but instant teleportation. Tang Shaoyang immediately formed a barrier with the dark mana and also the Slayer Energy. He mixed the two energies to form a powerful barrier.

The Golden Dragon appeared on top of him and swept its tail toward him. The barrier cracked, but the Golden Dragon failed to destroy it. However, Tang Shaoyang was still flung away by the impact.

"I have prepared a present for you!" Even though he was still in the air, Tang Shaoyang managed to cast [Slayer Blade]. A hundred Slayer Blades formed in the air around the Golden Dragon.

"Futile! You can't defeat me, Human!" It was indeed futile as the Golden Dragon teleported again. The Golden Dragon teleported toward Tang Shaoyang, who was still in the air, and caught him mid-air. The Golden Dragon then slammed him down hard to the ground.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

"URGHHH!" Tang Shaoyang grunted in pain. He underestimated his enemy, thinking he could defeat the Golden Dragon just because it did not have a lot of experience.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Golden Dragon vented out his anger by repeatedly slamming him on the ground. Just like the Golden Dragon said. He would not kill Tang Shaoyang directly. He wanted to torment Tang Shaoyang before killing Tang Shaoyang.

'I will die if I don't think of a way to break free from its grasp,' Tang Shaoyang's mind spun quickly to find a solution, 'I have no choice, but to try this,'
