X-Dragon Era-Chapter 688 - s 488-489: The Final Duel
The easy journey had finally come to an end. With the start of the third round, the era of Fantasy Dream Team's complete dominance was over. Among the upcoming opponents, at least five teams should not be underestimated, solely because each of these teams had a future member of the Nine Great Experts leading the charge!
After consecutively sweeping through two teams, the Fantasy Dream Team finally encountered their first formidable opponent. Looking at the young man in the waiting area across from them, clad in black armor with black hair and eyes, and pale skin, Xin Yun knew that a tough battle was inevitable. The Dark Magic Dragon An Xi, ranked fourth among the Nine Great Experts, was the first high mountain they had to climb over!
In the briefing area, Zixia was seizing the last bit of time to give a detailed introduction of An Xi's style and characteristics, as well as the strategies and tactics he excelled at. As for combat techniques and abilities, she had a thorough understanding.
Indeed, An Xi was almost perfect, with strong offense and high defense. His only weakness was probably his slow speed, but that was relative. Speed and agility were his shortcomings, but his formidable defense was already enough to compensate for this flaw. The likelihood of overcoming him with speed was virtually nil.
Perhaps ordinary people don't understand that in fact... the weakest point can often be the strongest. Since the opponent knows his own speed is slow and his agility poor, he would naturally pay more attention to it and train frequently. In past battles, he almost always faced such issues. Therefore... although it appears to be a weakness, in reality, it might be his area of expertise. Trying to defeat him in that aspect would be extremely difficult.
The human throat and heart are also weak points, but once a fight starts, these two spots are the most guarded. It's really difficult to hit these spots... In comparison, it might be more sensible to choose other targets.
Besides speed and agility, the Dark Magic Dragon was almost perfect. Immune to energy attacks, and here the so-called immunity isn't about being ineffective, but rather it's the Dark Devouring ability that absorbs all energy, transforming it into his own. Thus... energy attacks would not only fail to weaken the opponent but would instead increase his strength.

It's safe to say that once you face the Dark Magic Dragon, energy attacks are essentially sealed off, and although physical attacks can still affect him, the Dark Magic Dragon's physical defense is extremely strong. Coupled with his formidable close-range combat ability and the most powerful energy blasts, it makes him a dangerously lethal character.
Seeing Xin Yun and the others' silent demeanor, Zixia spoke seriously, "To defeat him, ranged attacks are out of the question; we must get close to him. But once we get close, the Dark Magic Dragon's formidable physical attacks and wide-range energy surges are enough to incinerate anyone in an instant!"
At this point, Zixia paused briefly before continuing, "Getting a tie with An Xi is not difficult, but defeating him seems like an impossible task—I can't think of any way to do it right now."
"Sss..." Hearing Zixia's words, Xin Yun and the others all took in a sharp breath. Indeed... the Dark Magic Dragon was overwhelmingly strong. Long-range attacks were ineffective, and if you tried to get close, you would absolutely be blasted to pieces by his wide-range attacks.
As they were pondering, the time for the match had arrived. Under the referee's signal, the participants of the third match of the finals flew above the stands. Six giant dragons faced each other in mid-air, waiting for the bell to start the match.
This was already the third match of the third round. The Fantasy Dream Team's first and second lineups had each played once in the previous two matches, and now it was the turn of the first lineup again. Therefore... under the lead of Xin Yun, Yi Luo Xiang and Yan Qingying accompanied him on both sides, arriving together at the arena.
While Xin Yun and his team were racking their brains for strategies, on the other side... An Xi was also struggling with his thoughts. If Xin Yun was scratching his head, then An Xi was downright desperate.
The lineup of Fantasy Dream Team was too powerful, so much so that it bordered on abnormal. An Xi knew that none of the three opponents facing him were weak; any one of them could hold their own against him. Although he feared no one, his teammates were clearly not up to par. Once his teammates fell, even if the other two only used support abilities and combat skills, he was doomed to lose.
One should not underestimate support abilities. In fact... support abilities could be more troublesome than combat skills. A moment of dizziness or paralysis could overturn the situation instantly in a battle between experts.
It could be said definitively that no martial artist at the crystal level could get the better of Fantasy Dream Team. Just the three members' support abilities alone were enough to ensure that any crystal-level expert could never recover. Never mind fighting, being able to fly smoothly would be good enough.
Should he just admit defeat outright? No... others might, but An Xi was different. He was the Young Clan Leader of the Demon Dragon Clan. No matter the outcome, since he had come to the arena, he must strive for victory with all his might! This was the mission his family had given him!
Of course, it wasn't necessarily about winning the championship. As long as he tried his best, even if he didn't win, his family would understand. But if he didn't even make the effort and lost in a disheveled manner, no one would forgive him, not even himself.
