Chapter 302 Winning
Upon receiving Li Chenglong's order, the two Tyrannosaurus Rex fighter jets immediately prepared to retreat. However, they retreated slowly, keeping the Sea Dragon within the range of their detection system to prevent losing track of the target. Inside the Dawn, Li Chenglong sat in the highest position in the center of the cockpit, the captain's seat, while the other five members of the central computer office sat in their respective seats.
The helmsman is Zhao Liying, the communications officer is Su Yunjin, the weapons launcher is Qin Mengyao, the assistant pilot is Wang Xiao, and the information processing officer is Lü Xin. The 10 special forces members accompanying the mission sit two meters behind Captain Li Chenglong's seat, where there are twenty seats, more than enough for them. Because this is a temporary deployment, engineers and other operational personnel were not brought along; once arrangements are finalized, the Dawn ship will have more staff.
Under Li Chenglong's arrangement, the images from the cockpit of the Dawn would also be transmitted to headquarters and the Eastern Theater Command. Lü Xin reported first: "Captain, we are expected to reach the coordinates in 35 seconds. According to reports from Tyrannosaurus Fighters No. 1 and No. 2, the target does not show any signs of moving quickly, but is instead devouring some large sea monsters."
Li Chenglong said seriously, "Okay, Dawn's main gun crystal particle cannon, charge up, prepare to fire, blast it out first." Weapon launcher Qin Mengyao immediately said, "Crystal particle cannon, charge up for 15 seconds, prepare to fire!" Su Yunjin also sent out a message at this time: "My ship is about to reach the designated position, ships 1 and 2, withdraw from the combat airspace and move away from the launch path."
As Qin Mengyao quickly typed in some text and pressed a button, the wings of the Dawn gradually opened, revealing two massive cannons, each 1.5 meters in diameter. As they charged, the muzzles emitted dazzling white light. After 15 seconds of charging, the two crystal particle cannons suddenly fired two dazzling laser beams into the sea.
To the surprise of all the officers watching the live broadcast in their respective theater command offices and multimedia classrooms, the laser did not explode after it hit the sea surface. Instead, it shot straight into the sea like a hot knife through butter. Moreover, as the crystal particle cannon continued to fire, the laser beam continued to advance into the deep sea.
Seeing that it was almost time, Li Chenglong immediately unbuckled his seatbelt, stepped down from the captain's seat, and said, "Fire in 10 more seconds, then lift up immediately. I'm off." As he spoke, under the watchful eyes of hundreds of people on site and in front of the big screen, Li Chenglong gathered all his strength, and a dragon and phoenix belt suddenly appeared on his waist. He shouted, "Holy Dragon Armor, combine and upgrade!" Instantly, a golden dragon and a fire phoenix burst out from his body, then, after a harmonious cry, rushed into Li Chenglong's body. Under a dazzling light, Li Chenglong transformed into his armored form.
After collapsing from exhaustion and falling into a deep sleep during his previous Armor Fusion state, Li Chenglong had always felt there was something wrong with his current state. Later, after carefully reading the materials left by Teacher Lena and conducting his own research, he realized he had been using Armor Fusion incorrectly. This had resulted in his previous Armor Fusion not only consuming excessive spiritual energy but also being significantly less powerful, and even the appearance was not quite right. Afterwards, he spent all his free time researching in his study or the central computer room, and sometimes even went to the countryside to experiment. Learning from his repeated failures, he finally obtained the true Armor Fusion form.
Upon seeing Li Chenglong's new armor in its fully formed form, everyone on the Dawn broke into applause, while all the officers watching the live stream exclaimed in surprise. Even powerful superhumans and awakened individuals like Shangguan Jingyun, Ding Hai, and Lei Qingcheng nodded in agreement, acknowledging Li Chenglong's strength.
The new armor, now fully equipped, has not only undergone a dramatic change in appearance, but its power has also doubled. In particular, Li Chenglong's belt has been completely transformed. Now, the belt features a golden dragon on the left and a fire phoenix on the right, their tails joined together and fastened around Li Chenglong's waist. The dragon's head and the phoenix's beak are on the front of the belt, both mouths wide open, with the upgraded G-crystal in the center.
The armor is currently painted in a Chinese red color, with flame patterns on the shoulder and leg armor. The left arm features a golden dragon, and the right arm features a fire phoenix. In addition to the G crystal on the belt, the chest of the armor is inlaid with a small, luminous 8-diamond crystal. However, unlike the G crystal which is a bright white, this crystal has eight colors.
Li Chenglong checked his armor's fit and nodded in satisfaction. Then, he clenched his fists and shouted for a full ten seconds. A pair of golden metallic wings emerged from the back of the armor, emitting wisps of light. He let out a long breath, finally completing the final transformation of his Level 2 armor.
Apart from the five members of the central computer office who were still operating the Dawn, the other 10 special forces members stood up and saluted, saying, "We wish Captain Li a resounding victory!" Li Chenglong smiled and said, "I'm leaving. Come back to pick me up in five minutes." With that, he gently flapped his flowing metal wings, and a faint red light emanated from his body before he disappeared.
The battle scene could not be broadcast live because after Li Chenglong left, the Dawn immediately rose to a high altitude. Now, only two red dots could be seen through the detection system. One moving very fast was definitely Li Chenglong, while the other moving relatively slowly was Hailong.
After teleporting to the outside of the Dawn, Li Chenglong quickly teleported to the sea surface and plunged into the water. The reason he had the Dawn fire its main cannon was because the sea dragon seemed to be getting deeper and deeper, and Li Chenglong wanted to try to attack it, hoping to provoke it and make it break out of the water.
However, it turned out he was wrong. After being attacked by the Dawn's main gun, the Sea Dragon did rise slightly, but it didn't surface. Just now, Li Chenglong observed through the Eye of the True Dragon that the Sea Dragon was still more than 1000 meters below the surface, and due to the interference of the seawater, he couldn't see its specific attributes.
However, because he had to dive to a depth of 1000 meters, he couldn't fight for too long, at most five minutes. This battle had to be quick. Each of the Holy Dragon Armor's metal wings had two thrusters, allowing him to fly in the air and also use them as propulsion in the ocean, making him extremely fast. In less than 20 seconds, Li Chenglong arrived on top of the Sea Dragon Beast.
The deep sea was utterly dark, save for the faint blue glow emanating from the Seadramon's body. Li Chenglong saw that its entire body was encased in alloy, without a single weak point. It seemed to sense Li Chenglong's approach, its eyes, the size of water tanks, fixed intently on him. Li Chenglong activated his True Dragon Eye: Seadramon, Level 12 Sea Beast, evolution reason unknown, attributes: Constitution 655, Strength 670, Agility 675, Spirit 601. Its ultimate attacks are the impact of its indestructible body and the ultimate destructive beam cannon it spews from its mouth.
The deep-sea operation was extremely difficult for Li Chenglong, while the Sea Dragon Beast was already used to it, so this battle was very disadvantageous. However, Li Chenglong used a spatial teleportation to appear on the Sea Dragon Beast's back, drew the Dragon Emperor Sword and slashed at it with all his might, but this blow only left a small mark on the Sea Dragon Beast's body, which was covered by an unknown metal, and basically did not cause any damage.
Hailong seemed to have lost interest in fighting, instead continuing to dive deeper, trying to shake off Li Chenglong. Li Chenglong, of course, couldn't let it escape. He waved his hand in front of his chest, and the eight-colored octagonal gems on his chest turned red, while his Holy Dragon Armor also turned entirely red. He stored the Dragon Emperor Sword in his spiritual energy space, sat on Hailong's back, and began pounding his fists into Hailong's back.
This time it worked. As Li Chenglong attacked, cracks gradually appeared in the alloy covering the sea dragon's body. Li Chenglong was overjoyed and suddenly swung his right fist: "Dragon Fist Burst!" A giant red dragon flew out from his right fist, smashing the armor in that area. Instantly, a large amount of blue blood spurted out, staining the sea area.
As its alloy armor broke, the Seadragon seemed to lose its ability to dive deep, instead tumbling and rising upwards. Li Chenglong activated the full power of its wings' thrusters, rising with the Seadragon, while simultaneously attacking the breached area.
A minute later, the sea dragon suddenly burst out of the sea, letting out an angry roar that could be clearly heard even by the Dawn, which had already ascended to an altitude of ten thousand meters. Li Chenglong then shot out and arrived in the air, dozens of meters above the water, facing the huge sea dragon flying in the air ahead.
Su Yunjin immediately reported to Zhao Liying: "Sister Zhao, Captain Li and Hailong have both rushed out of the sea. Our monitoring system can already capture them. Immediately transmit the images to the big screen." At this moment, everyone on the ship was watching the big screen intently, where they saw a Hailong more than 100 meters long and Li Chenglong, who had transformed into his armored form, engaged in a fierce battle.
Li Chenglong's Holy Dragon Armor has now evolved into a form primarily blue with gold lines. This form emphasizes speed, allowing him to keep up with the sea dragon's movements and reduce the probability of being hit. Its drawback is a slight deficiency in attack power. The onlookers witnessed a fierce battle between the dragon and the man. The sea dragon would fall into the sea and then surge back to the surface, while Li Chenglong would be knocked into the sea and then emerge again. However, judging from the sea dragon's heavily damaged alloy armor, Li Chenglong clearly had the upper hand.
Li Chenglong continuously used spatial teleportation and the Heaven-Splitting Dragon-Phoenix Slash, while also bombarding the sea dragon with the spiritual energy cannon of the Holy Dragon Armor. This annoyed the enormous sea dragon, who easily dodged many of its attacks. Seeing that its energy was gradually running out while the human in front of it continued to attack, the sea dragon decided to retreat. It used its tail to lash out at Li Chenglong with all its might, and taking advantage of the gap in Li Chenglong's dodge, it quickly flew away into the distance.
Now that he had a significant advantage, Li Chenglong certainly couldn't let the sea dragon escape easily. He brandished his sword and gave chase. Just as he was 200 meters away from the sea dragon, it suddenly turned around and unleashed an ultimate destructive beam cannon from its mouth. At such close range, it was certain that Li Chenglong couldn't dodge it.
Li Chenglong, however, was prepared. This time, instead of dodging, he swung his sword to meet the continuous beam cannon fire and charged into the sea dragon's mouth. "Ah!" The crew of the Dawn gasped in surprise, not expecting Captain Li to use such a risky tactic. Soon, the sea dragon writhed in agony, crashing into the sea and leaping out of the water. Less than 30 seconds later, a golden sword light pierced through the sea dragon's body, cleaving it in two.
The sea dragon let out a long roar before crashing into the sea, its blue blood staining the surface—it was undeniably dead. Li Chenglong pondered for a moment, then stored the sea dragon's corpse in his spiritual energy space, intending to deal with it later. In his left hand, he held a shimmering, dark green crystal—a level 12 crystal. He nodded in satisfaction, activated all four thrusters on his wings, and soon arrived near the Dawn. He then deactivated his spiritual energy form and used spatial teleportation to enter the Dawn.
Upon seeing Li Chenglong enter, all the crew members on the Dawn ship immediately cheered and applauded, offering their congratulations. Leaders and officers from various bases watching the live broadcast also clapped and cheered, standing up to applaud Li Chenglong's outstanding performance. General Chen Guoqiang, his deputy General Zhao Liang, and two senior military figures, Generals Fu Sen and Yao Fang, all gave Li Chenglong very high praise.
Li Chenglong smiled and gestured for everyone to stop clapping. He glanced at his watch and said happily, "It took a total of 7 minutes, two minutes longer than I expected. This sea dragon is too tough. It took me quite a while just to break through its defenses. In the end, in order to quickly deal with the sea dragon, I thought it would be better to destroy its internal organs from the inside out and then kill it completely."
Zhao Liying exclaimed in amazement, "I'm afraid only Captain Li could come up with and actually dare to use this tactic." Everyone else nodded in agreement. Looking at his tattered clothes and the sea dragon blood that covered him, Li Chenglong said, "I'm going to the captain's cabin of the Dawn to take a shower and change. You guys prepare to return. We can fly back slowly and see if there are any other situations along the coast."
With that, he left the cockpit and headed towards the captain's lounge. The crew composed themselves and happily began preparing for the return voyage. Watching Li Chenglong's spectacular battle, Yun Lan was extremely excited, but amidst her excitement, she also felt a pang of sadness. Although she was almost level 11 herself, she knew that even at level 11, her strength would probably not be half that of Li Chenglong. Would she still be able to stay by his side and provide him with the greatest support and assistance?
At this moment, Li Yunhao looked at the screen where the live broadcast had ended and said happily, "Daddy... Daddy is so amazing! Mommy, hug me! Let's go see Daddy." Yunlan looked at her son sitting there, and seeing his adorable appearance, her earlier disappointment vanished. She smiled and picked up Li Yunhao, saying, "Okay, let's go pick up Daddy together." With that, she left the military headquarters, got into a car, and headed towards the Shuguang City Air Force Base.
