"Welcome to the Arena of Iota, Challenger. ”

"Your current challenge is: Area 1, the Ice Arena. Guardian: Frost Dancer. ”

Hearing the familiar and indifferent voice in his head, Iroh couldn't help but smile.

I haven't been here in over four years......

Although Iroh almost succeeded in his first attempt at the Ice Arena four years ago, he was not in a hurry to challenge again after the wound healed, and even then he was seventy percent sure.

Because the guards of the Ice Arena, the Frost Dancer, are only the guards of the first level.

At that time, even if Iroh was able to break through the Frost Dancer, judging from the strength of the guards in this arena, the second level would definitely not be something he could break through. So at that time, it didn't make much sense to rush to challenge.

But that's no longer the case. After entering his teenage years, Iroh completed his second awakening as scheduled, which not only brought him more and more detailed inheritance memories, but also tempered his whole body like a miracle.

Even if he recalls it, Iroh has to say that the feeling of awakening, no, I should say that the feeling of becoming stronger quickly, is really amazing.

In an instant, the abundant energy generated in the darkness accompanied the omnipresent air, filling his entire body, every muscle, every scale.

The magic power flows with the blood, with the dragon crystal as the core, constantly circling and condensing, naturally circulating inside and outside the body, forming a mighty river, slapping the blood vessels and nerves, like the sound of thunder, majestic and vast, piercing people's hearts.

No wonder it has been mentioned many times in memory that the strength of the dragon clan is extremely closely related to age. Unlike humans, where there are countless examples of young people defeating old ones, young dragons often have difficulty defeating those old dragons, and this is precisely because of the existence of awakening!

After experiencing the second awakening, Iroh believed that he could easily suppress the unawakened him now - the qualitative change of strength had reached such a state that even if he was as strong as Iro, he couldn't help but sigh for a long time.

In short, the time has come to challenge the Iota Arena again. Although Iroh knew that he still couldn't break through all nineteen levels at once, he wouldn't be killed in the second level.

The north wind is howling and the snow is falling. The environment in the Ice Arena was as bad as last time, but now Iroh was no longer afraid.

The dragon crystal shook slightly, and a fiery aura emanated from his body, neutralizing the cold.

Ever since he knew that he had extremely high resistance to fire and heat, Iroh had been thinking about how to increase his resistance to ice and cold. He soon realized that it was too inefficient to increase his resistance through patience in the normal way.

Because the effect of cold on Iroh is twice as good, he has to train twice as hard to achieve the normal training effect of others.

But what if you change your mind?

Just like he just did, neutralize the cold with the scorching heat!

"Come on. ”

Iroh whispered, looking up at the end of the field of vision, where a petite figure surrounded by a blizzard appeared.

The Frost Dancer was still the same graceful as he had been four years ago, and with a slight lift of his hand, the furious wind and snow turned into a dragon shape and swooped straight towards Iro!

She also saw the strength of Iroh, this time there was no spare hand, it was directly the strongest blow!

If it were for Iroh, who had entered the arena for the first time four years ago, there would be no reason to survive.

Eloh's expression remained unchanged, it was obviously a fierce blow, but his heartbeat was unusually calm.

"Frost Dancer...... It's time for your dance to come to an end. ”

Some inexplicable words fell, Ai Luo did not dodge or dodge, opened his mouth and a faint black fire bloomed proudly like a red plum, sharp and uncasting, directly tore through the blizzard, and attacked the enemy on the opposite side with the most brazen attitude.

This is the breath technique that Natalie has used, condensing energy to one point, and although it sacrifices the attack range, it greatly enhances the lethality and penetration.

Breaking through this thick curtain of snow requires only a breath!

The elf girl in the center of the blizzard frowned, she was a phantom puppet generated in the arena, and she seemed to have intelligence, but in fact it was just the result of a lot of experience.

In the face of Iroh's blow, she didn't even have time to react, she only felt that the fire was a little dazzling, and she was about to summon an ice shield to block it, but the next moment she found that the fiery breath had reached her throat - although the dragon's breath was a manifestation of the forced gathering of energy, but due to its high energy intensity, under Aelo's forced compression and condensation, it actually showed a physical attack similar to a hard solid, like a pitch-black long sword.

In an instant, scarlet blood flowers burst out!

"Poof—"

The flame of death flickered, and the wind and snow kept surging, but at this moment, there was an extra corpse on the snow.

The blizzard that had lost its grip gradually cleared, and Iroh calmly stepped across the blood-stained snow, his eyes never falling on the elven girl's corpse. Because he already knew the outcome of this battle.

His goal is not just to defeat the Frost Dancer.

"Congratulations on breaking through the first sector, is the challenger returning to the real world?"

"Nope. ”

Softly rejected the voice in his head, and the next moment, the scenery in front of Eloh's eyes changed again.

The snow roared in the cold wind disappeared as if it had never existed, and in its place was a large lush forest, and for a moment Iroh almost thought that he was back in a life-and-death struggle with Natalie.

"Your current challenge is: Area 2, Forest Arena. Guardian: Shadow of the Jungle. ”

The moment the voice in his head stopped, Iroh instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

Surrounding...... It seems too quiet.

That's right, there was a moment of silence between heaven and earth, and only a sharp sound of breaking wind remained.

The enemy attack has come!

In a hurry, Iroh suddenly understood the meaning of the guards in this area: kill with one blow, kill yourself before your sight catches the other party.

Is...... Very interesting.

In an instant, an imperceptible glow shot towards Ello's heart.

It is silent, obviously just an arrow, but it makes people feel like they are in a cold and biting snowstorm. And unlike the Frost Dancer's real wind and snow, Shadow of the Jungle...... It was only with killing intent that such momentum was created.

There was silence all around, but Iroh didn't make any dodge moves, this time not because of disdain, but because of ...... No need to dodge!

Although there was only one arrow in front of him, Iroh could feel countless snow flakes condensed like afterimages in the sky, and if it were real, the breath was more piercing than the thin ice.

What's even more terrifying is that each of these arrows can give him an equally great sense of crisis, and it is impossible to tell which one is the deadliest one.

can't dodge, this arrow Iroh is not half sure that he can dodge.

What terrible snow, what terrible arrows.

Then, don't hide!

"Golden scales, body protection!"

Two bits of brilliant gold lit up in Iroh's deep black eyes, just like the gold that bloomed on his scales at this moment.

The dancing wind and snow finally met the armor of Adamantite, and there were countless collisions.

A series of fleeting sparks erupted in a dense rain of arrows, and Iroh closed his eyes and let the massive shadows of arrows hit the scales. The Golden Scale Protector is a high-level dragon magic, and at present, with Iroh's strength, it can only barely last for a short time.

So, he's going to use that time before the real fatal blow comes...... Find out how to crack it.

At this moment, on a towering tree that Iroh could not see, a pair of eyes had already seen the truth in it: the real arrow had just come out, and at the same time as the wind and snow were overwhelming, that arrow was gradually approaching Iroh's heart.

Strictly speaking, Shadow of the Jungle is not much stronger than the Frost Dancer, but he only has one move in battle, and he completely reflects his own strength to the fullest.

Survive this move, and the challenger wins, otherwise he loses.

Depressed, at this moment, Ailuo, who closed his vision, only felt as if the surrounding space was cut off from heaven and earth, and the air inside was even pumped out, making people feel a sense of suffocating death, and the rain of arrows from the mountains seemed to be able to smash his defense like a mountain rock in the next second.

Can't wait any longer......

Suppressed and suffocated, this feeling became more and more prevalent in Ello's heart, and the constant agitation of the arrow rain around him also brought a terrible sense of oppression at all times. This real and false wind and snow gathered at a speed that the naked eye could see, and the wind and snow were even more dense and dense, making people have no doubt that Iroh's figure could be completely annihilated at any time.

The shadow of the jungle, who was quietly observing, still did not have a trace of mood swings, and for him, he could only relax when the enemy died.

However, he believes that that moment is not far off.

He understood that those phantoms of the rain of arrows were not just there to confuse the enemy and thus cover the truly fatal blow.

The most terrifying part of his own blow is that the illusory arrow rain is pushed out until the last moment it is completely condensed on the real arrow. It's as if the ice floating on the sea is completely gathered together, forming a thousand glaciers, crashing through the surging tsunami, standing on the seashore, standing tall.

Like a black cloud pressing down on the city, Iroh's originally huge figure looked so small and thin in front of the power of nature, but his eyes were still unwavering.

"Found it. ”

Iroh looked up, and the same black fire condensed into flying arrows, rushing up like a bright rainbow light in the pale rain of arrows, breaking through the rolling wind and snow, and like a comet streaking across the night sky, brilliant and bright.

Maybe he didn't even notice the shadow of the jungle, but his state of mind was still a little shaken just now.

Although the fluctuation lasted less than half a second, it was enough for Ello's terrifying perception and illusion-breaking pupils.

The winner is decided.

There was a look of surprise on the face of the man dressed as a standard elven archer, and a deep glow reflected in his pupils, unlike the archery that was engraved in his memory and gave up all ornate archery for the sake of concealment, this arrow had a style he had never seen before.

Just like the pride and tenacity of the dragon as his opponent.

In the next moment, the shadow of the jungle felt a sharp pain in his heart, and his figure fell like a kite with a broken string from the tree.

On the other side, the fatal arrow disappeared in front of Iroh's heart as the Jungle Shadow died, breaking through the adamantite scales, flesh, and sternum.
