Dixia threw out the big sword and then clenched his fist and smashed towards Ying. Ying raised the long sword in her hand to resist. One punch hit the sword, and the long sword in Ying's hand was bent. Ying wanted to use the wind blade again, but this time Dixia wanted to end the battle quickly and did not give Ying any chance. He punched Ying directly, and Ying's body was knocked away and hit Amber. The two of them rolled together in their arms, their eyes rolling in circles.

Paimon's panicked voice: "We are totally no match for each other!"

"How can a flower in a greenhouse be compared with someone like me who came from the Land of Blood Mist?"

Dishia looked at Paimon, who was so scared that he quickly flew towards Ying. Dishia ignored this little creature whose fighting power was probably not as strong as a wild boar, and walked towards the big sword he had thrown on the tree before, pulled out his big sword, and looked at Duraf:

"Why don't you just stay in the town? Why did you run away and make me do such a troublesome thing?"

Dixia raised the sword in her hand and was about to attack. At this critical moment, another cold voice came to her ears:

"Freeze it!"

Several ice cones flew towards Dishiya at a very fast speed. When Dishiya reacted, he waved the giant sword in his hand to block the ice cones, but one of the ice cones still pierced his arm and blood oozed out of his arm.

"who!"

Dixia looked in the direction of the attack, and a dark-skinned young man appeared in her sight.

"Kaia, the cavalry captain of the Knights of Favonius?" Dishia recognized him immediately and sneered, "So the knights can also launch sneak attacks?"

"Ah, my." Kaia replied playfully, "All's fair in war. Isn't this a normal thing for a knight?"

"Heh, you seem to be different from those flowers in the greenhouse."

Kaiya pointed at his own skin and said, "Of course, I often go out in the sun. See, my skin is all tanned."

In response to Kaiya's joke, Dishia did not respond. Instead, he looked at his injured arm, stretched out his hand and pulled out the icicle that had pierced his arm. Blood oozed out of the wound. Dishia just frowned slightly. As a Xumi person, getting injured was normal and there was nothing to panic about.

"You are hurt."

Although Kaeya was joking, he was still very alert. The name of the Bloody Mane Lion was well-known. It was able to assassinate a god and escape unscathed, and successfully escape from Xumi, which showed its true value.

Fortunately, after I arrived, I hid in the dark and launched a sneak attack when Dishiya thought she had won. I didn't expect to take down Dishiya in one fell swoop, but it would be much easier to fight after I injured her.

Kaiya believes that there is nothing shameful about sneak attacks, as long as any means can be successful, it is a good means.

"It seems that we can't catch you here." Dixia looked at Ying and Amber who got up from the ground, "You are lucky to have survived."

"Oh? Does this mean you want to run away?"

"Such injuries are not suitable for fighting."

Dixia said she wanted to retreat, but Kaiya chased after her: "I won't let you get away so easily!"

Seizing the opportunity to win is also part of the strategy.

Kaia, who was about to catch up, suddenly stopped and a long sword was stuck in front of his feet. If he had not stopped, he would have been pierced by the sword.

Kaiya frowned and looked up. Standing on a tree branch not far away was a figure wearing a white mask and a robe wrapped around his body.

"So you have companions?"

I had never realized before that I was hiding in the dark and attacking others. It turns out that there was someone hiding in the dark and attacking me too.

It's really a nesting doll.

"Why, are you going to catch up?"

Dishia asked Kaia. Kaia looked at the two people on the tree and then looked back at Amber with blood on the corner of her mouth. She stood there and spread her hands: "Go ahead."

"Humph."

Dishia left here, and the people in the tree followed her away, until their figures completely disappeared from sight.

"Oh my, yesterday the Wind Dragon attacked Mondstadt and caused so much damage. The Fatui were putting pressure on us, and now there's another troublesome person in the wilds of Mondstadt. It's really a troubled time."

Kaiya muttered to himself, then turned back and asked Amber, "Are you okay?" He looked at Ying next to him, "So, is this person a friend or an enemy?"

During the conversation, no one noticed that someone in the distance was watching everything that had just happened.

"I think I saw something interesting. Let's go back and tell Master Istaru."

He burrowed into the ground and swam underground like a fish. Elsewhere, a black-robed man with a spiral mask listened to the report from the Coral Palace.

"People from the outside world? Hmm, are they the brother and sister who were stopped by the maintainer of heaven's law five hundred years ago? Speaking of which, the dragon disaster in Mondstadt is somewhat related to them. However, this dragon disaster also happened to help me save a lot of trouble. I hope this brother and sister will be sensible and not hinder my plan."

Listening to Coral Palace's continued report, the masked man paused and continued,

"Oh, and the Red Mane Lion also went to Mondstadt? I remember that she was a very interesting girl."

The masked man's eyes, which were only revealed under the mask, recalled the graduation examination in Xumi.

That was the graduation examination supervised by Little Auspicious Grass King himself. The instructors of the academy had already arranged the students into groups of two. According to tradition, they would fight each other until one of them died.

Dishia, yes, Dina Zedai.

Chapter 44 Who is the evil dragon?

Xumi is a country rich in evil spirits. In such a country, even a normal person will go crazy sooner or later if he stays there for a long time.

When she was young, Dishia was also very naive. She was born in the desert and had a good father. When she was a child, her father told her the story of the Dragon Quest. At that time, she didn't understand it, so she tilted her head and asked her father: "Father, what does dragon mean?"

The father smiled and touched his head and replied: "He is the bad guy who brought disaster to everyone."

Dixia clapped her hands and said, "I understand. Little Jixiang Grass King is the evil dragon that daddy mentioned, right?"

After saying this, the usually gentle father's face changed drastically. He scolded Dixia severely and warned her not to say such words to others.

Dishia remembered it.

Soon, as Dishiya grew older, she reached the age for Xumi people to go to school. This was something that every Xumi person had to go through. Before going to school in the city, everyone in the desert blessed her.

"Come on! Dishia, let the people in the city see how powerful we desert people are!"

"Don't lose to the city people!"

"We who were born in the desert are the bravest in Xumi!"

Everyone in the desert worships the Little Lucky Grass King abnormally, and believes that he is a god who surpasses the Red King. Although Dixia doesn't feel anything about this, she is even confused. Why do people worship an evil dragon?

Dishiya's father entrusted her to the Humayi family in the city. Later, Dishiya learned that her father died in battle while performing a conquest mission for the country. But here, the head of the Humayi family treated her as his own daughter. Dishiya also met Dina Zedai, the eldest daughter of the Humayi family. She was a gentle and quiet girl. Her gentleness healed her and diluted the sadness of her father's passing. She also regarded her as her best friend. She played with Dina Zedai, went to school together, and grew up together.

As a citizen of the desert, Dishia's physical fitness is far better than Dina Zedai's. She is an excellent student in the academy, while Dina Zedai has magic scale disease. She doesn't know how the academy suppresses this disease, but such physical fitness is not suitable for long-term combat, so Dishia secretly vowed that she would protect Dina Zedai.

however--

During the graduation examination, the instructors assigned their opponents...

"Dina Zedai, why is it you..."

Why, why is it you...

Dixia's eyes trembled as she faced Dina Zedai. She knew that she was so weak and could easily defeat her to complete the graduation assessment... But... I couldn't do it. Only you, I couldn't do it...

Sitting on a high position, the Little Lucky Grass King looked down at the figures below who were fighting each other. The mentors of the academy stood respectfully beside the Little Lucky Grass King.

Little Auspicious Grass King asked coldly: "Who is the best student this term?"

"It's Dishia. In terms of combat skills, judgment, strategy, and physical fitness, Dishia is the best among this batch of students."

The instructors pointed to Dishiya's position for the little auspicious grass king. The other students had already started fighting with each other, but the fighting in this place had not yet happened.

"Is this the best student you mentioned? Her hand holding the sword is shaking." Little Auspicious Grass King said coldly, "Even if the body is strong enough, without a matching mind, it is still a weakling. Xumi does not need such weaklings."

The Little Auspicious Grass King did not intervene in the battle below. According to the rules of Xumi, if the two could not determine the winner within the limited time, then both of them would be declared failed in this graduation assessment. In Xumi, the end of failure is to be hung on a tree in the forest.

There is no need to explain what hanging on a tree means.

Dixia's hands holding the sword were trembling. Dina Zedai on the opposite side naturally noticed this abnormal state at the first time. Facing Dixia who was reluctant to take action, Dina Zedai took the lead in attacking and stabbed Dixia's chest with the dagger in her hand.

With Dixia's skills, she could easily dodge such an attack, but Dixia thought that if there was no winner... from the beginning when she stood here, only one of her and Dina Zedai could survive!

I don't want to hurt Dina Zedai, so all I can do is...

Dina Zedai's dagger easily pierced Dishia's body.

Dixia closed her eyes. That's all. That's all...

Just as Dixia was waiting for death, she heard laughter in her ears.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

The crazy and mocking laughter came from Dina Zedai's mouth, which made Dixia open her eyes. Dina Zedai, who was usually gentle and calm in her eyes, now had a face like a villain who had succeeded in his conspiracy.

"Hahaha, it's true, it's true, Dixia, you really are an idiot!"

The sword in her hand pierced the opponent's body, and Dina Zedai seemed to feel that victory was certain.

"Just like what my father said, I just need to be nice to you normally. On this day, you won't be able to do anything to me, and I can easily get rid of you and pass the test!"

Dishia's eyes widened and her voice trembled.

"Dina Zedai, what do you mean by this?"

"Don't you understand? Dixia, you are really an idiot! Why do you think your father treats you so well? Why do you think I am always with you and so friendly to you? Do you really think I treat you as a friend? This is all to prepare for this day! My body is not in good condition, so I need to use some tricks to survive. Why is it that as the strongest opponent in this assessment, I am not a match for you at all?"

"This...wasn't it randomly arranged by the instructors..."

"Hahaha! How naive! How could it be such a coincidence! Of course it was arranged by my father, who bribed the examiner with the money from our family! I have cultivated a relationship with you for so many years, and finally, it's time to reap the fruits of our labor!"

Dina Zedai laughed crazily and said, "Oh, by the way, do you think your father died while on a mission? No, he was killed by someone my father sent!"

Dixia's pupils dilated.

"That way, you will be so grateful to my family, and this plan will be more perfect! Now you are useless, die!"

The sword in Dinazedai's hand continued to stab forward, but Dishia endured the pain, gritted his teeth, gripped the giant sword in his hand again, and swung it out.

"Dina Zedai—!"

This time, without any hesitation, Dishia, who was willing to fight with all her strength, easily cut off Dina Zedai.

The Little Auspicious Grass King who was watching all this retracted his gaze and uttered coldly, as if talking to himself: "Boring."

Chapter 45: It turns out that I am also a dragon!

Dixia pulled out the dagger stuck in her body, and then she realized something.

The sword avoided his vital points. If it had pierced his heart directly, he would have died long ago. How could he have had the strength to wield the weapon again?

"Dina Zedai..."

Looking at the corpse lying on the ground, which was killed by his own hands, Dixia dropped the sword in his hand to the ground. He lowered his head and looked at his hands.

What on earth did I do!

Her last words were meant to provoke me and make me kill her with my own hands!

And I was fooled so easily... Why, why did it end like this... I killed with my own hands the person I wanted to protect, the one who treated me as a family member, my best friend!

What? You still lied to me in the end... This world is full of deception and lies...

Hehe, there is no such story about a brave man defeating the dragon and rescuing everyone, and everyone living happily together in the end, hehe... I understand, I understand, in this world, this terrible world... there are no brave men at all, there are only... dragons!

At this time, there were students fighting in pairs nearby. One of the students was knocked out and fell towards Dina Zedai on the ground.

Dixia's ears trembled, and she stretched out her foot and hooked the big sword that had fallen to the ground. She picked it up and held it in her hand again. With a swing, the student who was knocked flying was split into two in the air before he even hit the ground. The two halves of the body fell on both sides of Dina Zede.

"Hey, Dixia, what are you doing!" Another student who had chased after them grumbled in dissatisfaction, looking at Dina Zedai's body on the ground, muttering, "What? Didn't you complete the assessment? Why did you kill my target? How am I going to graduate now?"

Dixia raised her head and stared at the student with the eyes of a lion. Her cold gaze made the other party step back involuntarily.

"Since the target is dead," Dixia opened her mouth, "why not just change another one?"

"That's easy to say, but this is what the instructor assigned. How can I just..."

Before the other party finished speaking, Dixia's mouth opened wide, and the words that frightened the other party came out of her mouth: "There are so many people here, how can there be no target? Have you forgotten that we are the country of blood mist! Everyone can be killed!"

Dixia raised the giant sword in her hand, and another body fell down, but this was not the end. Dixia looked at the remaining students, and then walked towards the two closest ones.

"Dixia, what are you doing!?"

"Are you crazy!"

"what--!"

It hurts so much, killing it with my own hands... This pain, it hurts so much, this... useless emotion, if I give it up, it won’t hurt anymore, right?

I should have understood it long ago. It's either kill or be killed. I am a dragon. I will erase my own emotions. I will become the biggest and strongest dragon!

The commotion below made the little auspicious grass king, who had originally looked away, turn his gaze back to Dishiya.
