Targaryen Who Turned Dragon

Chapter 31 - The Finals

"Jun Long vs Tai Quin... may the match begin!"

I wonder... how is he going to start off the match?

*SHEW*

Tai Quin disappeared, leaving behind some stray wind.

What!? Is this... the 4th stage of the Flying Wind God's Art, Flying Wind?

Aerion immediately took out Sky Piercer and surrounded himself in wind, wind aura! He could've used his more powerful Demon King's flame or Ghost flame, but they would've used too much profound energy... it would have been a waste.

"I expect no less from you, Jun Long! EARTH DESTROYING TORNADO."

Damn, can't I catch a break from those annoying tornados!?

After removing his wind aura, Aerion gathered a powerful Crimson Demon Wave on his Halberd. The crimson flames fully surrounded Sky Piercer and the flames continued to grow in strength as Aerion gathered more profound energy.

"TAKE THIS...!"

Then he released it at the last moment.

A few breaths later, the tornado and Crimson Demon Wave engaged in an intense duel. In the end, it was a tie. The very powerful profound skills exploded into stray profound energy.

Tai Quin is strong, very strong indeed. I might have to use Dragon Soul to beat him...

"This is why we've come here, to witness these spectacles!"

"You're correct."

"This Finals will be more entertaining than the rest of the tournament combined!"

"Who's going to win, though?"

"Jun Long, of course!"

"Obviously you would say that, fanboy. I think Tai Quin will blast him away with an all-mighty Earth Decimating Tornado!"

"You think Jun Long can't handle a bit of wind? You're more foolish than I thought!"

"Hmph, we'll see..."

~

*Shew*

He disappeared again, this time my eyes could see where he was... he was charging right towards me! I slam my Halberd straight down, he blocks the attack with his sword.

*Crack*

Due to Sky Piercer being far heavier and slightly more powerful, Quin's sword started to crack under the pressure of Aerion's halberd.

DRAGON SOUL!

*Shatter*

Aerion dedicated all of his strength to shattering Quin's sword, it worked. This, however, wasn't a good move. Quin used Aerion's dedication to his advantage, he stepped to the side with whatever was left of his sword while Sky Piercer was stuck to the ground.

*Stab*

Quin stabbed his broken sword deep into Aerion's stomach, then he retrieved his broken sword and moved back. Aerion's blood flew out and some continued to drip long after.

Drop... drop... drop.

"It's over... MIGHTY WIND SLASH!"

Who are you to say it's over... do you think you're better than me!? How could I, Aerion Targaryen, ever be inferior to you? Today, in this very tournament, I shall show you the strength of a True Dragon!

DRACONIC HEART.

Aerion swiped the "mighty" wind slash with his right hand. The wound, which Tai Quin worked so hard to inflict, was already closed with crimson red scales. Tai Quin stood still, he was shocked... how can Jun Long still stand after his stab? Not only that, he destroyed a mighty wind slash with one swipe of his hand!

Star God's Broken Shadow.

Aerion exploded, closing the distance between him and Tai Quin in milliseconds. As usual, an afterimage was left behind. Sky Piercer's axe was driven straight into Tai Quin's flesh. The horizontal slash was lightning-fast and powerful, which caused Tai Quin to fly right after impact.

*SMASH*

Tai Quin hit the arena's wall, his c.h.e.s.t spraying blood everywhere.

"Now it's truly over." Aerion arrogantly stated as he began to walk back.

Off.

Aerion's scales dropped to the ground and burned away. His eyes returned to their natural colour. His stomach wound was also completely healed, thanks to Draconic Heart increasing the speed and effectiveness of scale regeneration. Oh and, the Great Way of the Buddha helped too... just not as much.

"The match is... -"

Tai Quin's eyes glowed again... he wasn't going to go out so easily.

"EARTH DECIMATING TORNADO!"

Aerion turned around at the last second.

DRACONIC HEART, HEAVEN ABSORBING SILVER CLAW!

Aerion's left hand instantly grew silver scales and began to absorb the tornado... unfortunately, this power can't absorb something the user himself can't handle. Going beyond one's limits will result in dangerous consequences. Fortunately, this wasn't one of those situations... Aerion could perfectly handle the tornado.

~

"Foolish children... this is just a simple tournament. They shouldn't be trying to kill each other..."

Tai Wentian nodded, he some-what agreed with the elder.

"They're going a bit too far, even if it's to win. Especially that Quin... I shall teach him a lesson after this tournament, he's far too careless with that Earth Decimating Tornado. If his opponent wasn't Jun Long... I would have stepped in a long time ago."

"I wonder how he even managed to pull it off, not once... but twice in the same day!"

"Tai Quin is truly an extraordinary boy. Perhaps you were wrong about him, Wentian."

"Maybe I was wrong..."

Was he looking at the wrong son all this time? Shu gave up so easily in the tournament while his younger brother made it to the finals...

~

Aerion stretched out his left hand towards the tornado. In mere seconds, the mighty tornado was non-existent. Tai Quin stood still, shocked yet again. Then, out of desperation, he charged Aerion with everything he had left. He actually thought he could still win in his pitiful state! He didn't even have a proper weapon...

Perfect Counter.

Aerion stepped to the side, disarmed Tai Quin and kicked him down to the floor.

"Admit it, you've lost."

"You're right... I lost to you, Jun Long."

Off.

"AND THE MATCH IS OVER!!! JUN LONG IS THE WINNER OF THE TOURNAMENT!"

Aerion gave Tai Quin his hand. "Stand, it was a good match."

Tai Quin took his hand and lifted himself up. "Yes, it was... but I'll never be stronger than you."

Tai Quin walked away.

Never? That's a bit harsh to say, even if it's true... I hope he'll get over his loss.

"JUUUUUUUUUUUUN LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG!!!"

"Hmmm?"

Aerion turned around and saw Liu Lei.

"You were so amazing in the finals! Especially when you used that silver scaled hand and completely absorbed the tornado out of existence! How did you do it? Is it like a super special bloodline thing?"

"I guess..."

"And that super effective regeneration... the stab wound isn't even visible! You're way too amazing, I bet you'll become the next Grandmaster!"

"That's a bit too much praise... I did what I had to do."

"Right, which division are you joining? Blades or Guards?"

"I haven't decided yet..."

"Then be prepared for a lot of special offers from the General and Commandant! They'll throw away everything just to get you to join their division."

"Thanks for the warning, Lei."

"You're welcome. So, are y-"

"JUN LONG, I'M YOUR BIGGEST FAN!"

A crowd started forming around Jun Long, the winner of the tournament.

"PLEASE MARRY ME, I'LL BE A GOOD WIFE!"

"HMPH, I WOULD BE A BETTER WIFE!"

"ARE YOU SURE? YOU'RE THINNER THAN PAPER!"

"CAN YOU SIGN MY SHIRT, MIGHTY DRAGON GOD JUN LONG?"

"WHICH DIVISION ARE YOU JOINING? BLADES OR GUARDS?"

Star God's Broken Shadow.

Aerion dashed out of the very awkward situation. Yes, he liked attention... but this was way too much. He escaped to a place far less populated, the Forrest. He needed some time to recover and relax. A tree... Aerion's very old habit just happened to be napping on a tree.

"Nothing better than the sweet air of nature..."

"That hand of yours... it has absorbed the tornado but..."

Aerion noticed Jasmine next to him.

"But what?"

"The profound energy is currently stored in your left hand..."

Stored? Does that mean I can reuse the profound energy in battle? Perhaps I can use it to enhance my cultivation... it's time to find out!

Aerion closed his eyes, opened the second gate "Draconic Heart" and moved the profound energy from his left hand to his entire body. Then he smiled and channelled all of his profound energy into his right hand, the Heaven Destroying Crimson Hand. Absorbing profound energy and putting it all into his right, more destructive hand... will this work? The power of Tai Dang's earth destroying tornado, Tai Quin's earth decimating tornado and his own power... all in one attack!

"This..."

HEAVEN DESTROYING CRIMSON DEMON WAVE!

Aerion fired an ultra-charged crimson demon wave into the sky.

*BOOM*

The entire sky was cleared of its clouds...

~

The arena was already cleared of disciples and guests, the feast was being prepared. This feast would start in a few hours. Meanwhile, the disciples were allowed to do as they wished before this feast. Many were talking about the Finals and how amazing Jun Long was. After today, Jun Long will become a household name in Oldtown!

Then an enormous crimson demon wave was fired at the sky...

"Do you see that?"

"Wha... what the hell?!"

"Such a powerful profound skill... it's most likely a sky profound cultivator!"

"No doubt, I wonder what kind of sky profound cultivator would use his profound skill on the sky..."

"He must be testing out his strength, or something like that."

"But the colour... it was red and black, like Jun Long's crimson demon wave..."

"Jun Long? No way, he's far too young to wield such power."

"Maybe it's his father? Hahahaha."

~

"Jun Long, just what are you...?"

Tai Wentian wondered while he floated in the sky. This Jun Long continued to go past his expectations... he's so young, yet so powerful. He is so unique; from his appearance to his profound skills. He grows so quickly... what is his secret? Did he descend from the Heavens!? It doesn't matter... either way, I'll make sure he stays a Noble Rogue. Under him, the Noble Rogue Sect will enter a new age... an age of dominance!

~

"Look at you, how pitiful... wasted in just one move." Jasmine stared down at Aerion

"Maybe... I used a bit too mu...much power."

"Maybe? You almost killed yourself!"

"Hahaha... I'll make sure to use less profound energy next... time." Aerion stated as he closed his eyes.

"Wake me up in an hour or so..."

"Do you think I'm your Tai Xia!?"

"..."

Aerion was already asleep.
