Chapter 1080 - I Will Fight Against All Five!

To celebrate the end of the Great Dragon Championship, the Ancient Dragon Clan threw a grand banquet for Han Wu and the Great Dragon contingent. Mountains of food weighing in tons filled the tables.

The five Great Dragon contestants had assumed their humanoid forms and taken their designated seats. Their expressions made their dissatisfaction with the outcome clear. Every one of them glared at Han Wu, eager to tear him apart and avenge their defeats in the arena.

Han Wu paid them no mind. Unfortunately, the five Dragon Kings were used to getting their way among the Great Dragons. Halfway through the banquet, they jumped to their feet and demanded a rematch.

“During the Championship, I only lost because I let my guard down for a moment,” the Celestial Lightfeather Dragon King claimed. “If you’ve got the nerve, bring out everything you have and fight us for real.”

“You ganged up on me two against one. That wasn’t fair. Summon your core race. I want a proper duel,” chimed in the Blackwater Horned Dragon King, the first to lose after Han Wu and Long Xiang defeated it through teamwork.

The Volcano, Crimson-Eye Terra, and Hawkbeak Swift Dragon Kings all joined in and voiced their dissatisfaction.

The constant noise was giving Han Wu a headache. He couldn’t even eat in peace.

Long Qi and the Jade Dragon Emperor had noticed the situation from the start. However, the Jade Dragon Emperor silently signaled Long Qi not to intervene. It was clearly allowing the five Dragon Kings to act as they pleased.

That was what finally pushed Han Wu over the edge. So you want to see me fight against them? Fine.

He stood, pointed at all five Dragon Kings, and declared, “None of you are satisfied? Fine. I’ll fight all five of you at once. Let’s see if I can’t beat the living shit out of you.”

The nearby members of the Ancient Dragon Clan stared in awe. He was domineering enough to challenge five Dragon Kings on his own!

Patriarch Long Lie watched from his seat and desperately wanted to induct Han Wu into the Ancient Dragon Clan. Usually the clan lost more Championships than it won, but with Han Wu as an ally, it wouldn’t lose another Great Dragon Championship for at least the next ten years.

The five Dragon Kings hesitated upon hearing his challenge. If Han Wu had challenged any one of them individually, they would’ve accepted instantly. A one-versus-five declaration was another matter entirely. How arrogant and confident did someone have to be to issue such a challenge?

Still, they had their reservations. Winning a five-on-one wouldn’t be glorious. On the other hand, losing would be catastrophic.

Han Wu scoffed. “Hurry up. My time is valuable. Don’t tell me you’re afraid to accept.”

That was enough to provoke them. Fine. Five on one it is.

Even if they faced punishment when they returned home, they needed this.

The Ancient Dragon Clan quickly cleared a suitable area. Every spectator, including the Jade Dragon Emperor, turned to watch.

During the Championship, Han Wu had been restricted by the arena’s rules. Now, under the pressure of five Dragon Kings, the Jade Dragon Emperor was certain that Han Wu would have to show his real strength.

The fight began.

The five Dragon Kings immediately grouped together and drained every trace of elemental energy from the surrounding space to charge a five-way combined dragon breath. The more types mixed together, the stronger the resulting breath would become.

When it noticed the five Dragon Kings combining their breaths, even the Jade Dragon Emperor tensed. The attack had already exceeded the power of a Subcosm strike and reached the Mesocosm rank.

Through their brief physical contact, the Jade Dragon Emperor knew Han Wu was only a Mesocosm life form. Taking that attack head-on without any defensive measures could result in serious injury or death.

What kind of surprise will you show me this time, little one? the Jade Dragon Emperor wondered.

As the combined dragon breath hurled toward him, Han Wu activated his Conversion and Void Jurisdictions simultaneously. In the next instant, two layers of energy wrapped around him.

The combined dragon breath blasted forth with apocalyptic force. The Dragon Fear woven into the attack rivaled a Divine Jurisdiction.

In the past, the Conversion Jurisdiction couldn’t absorb such high-grade energy quickly enough. However, after deepening his comprehension through his aspects, Han Wu had dramatically improved its conversion rate. He could now partially process higher-quality energy in real time.

As for the remainder, the Void Jurisdiction took care of the rest. It transformed the energy that the Conversion Jurisdiction absorbed into negative energy and released it outward, neutralizing the remaining energy within the combined dragon breath.

The attack was absorbed and neutralized simultaneously. It didn’t take long for the entire blast to dissipate. Han Wu stood there without a scratch. If anything, he felt slightly overenergized.

The five Dragon Kings felt their heads throb. Is this man even a God? If he can nullify a combined dragon breath, what can’t he nullify?

Since their ranged attack had failed, the five Dragon Kings switched to melee combat. They charged at Han Wu from five different directions, intent on showing him the Great Dragon combat techniques.

Han Wu answered by summoning his units. They emerged from his divine realm one after another.

The combined aura alone of Dark Locust, Steely, the Pride Dark Tyrannosprite King, the Wrath War Tyrannosprite King, and the five towering Mythic Titans was enough to flatten the five Dragon Kings against the ground.

The Jade Dragon Emperor’s eyes widened. After all, Han Wu had summoned nine Subcosm units, and the strongest among them could rival even the Celestial Lightfeather Dragon King. Even the weakest, a Mythic Titan with a Divine Jurisdiction embryo, was still strong enough to fight against the weakest Blackwater Horned Dragon King fist to claw.

What caught the Jade Dragon Emperor most off guard was that most of those units weren’t dragons. Long Qi had been telling the truth. Han Wu’s strongest core races weren’t the dragon-adjacent units he had used in the arena.

The realization left the Jade Dragon Emperor stunned. Throughout its entire life, it had heard nothing but praise for the Great Dragons’ supremacy. Yet in Han Wu’s eyes, the Great Dragons and their adjacent species were nothing more than soldiers.

A flicker of anger flared in the Jade Dragon Emperor’s chest. “I grant you special permission to burn your dragon souls!”

The five Dragon Kings grinned. In the next instant, flames of different colors erupted from their frames as they ignited their dragon souls. Their souls blazed and granted them seemingly limitless energy.

They rose from the ground. Even against Han Wu’s overwhelming units, they no longer felt an ounce of fear. All that remained in their hearts was their indomitable will to fight!
