Long Tianyu's lunge carried genuine force behind it.
Not the force of someone who believed they could reverse the outcome. The force of someone who had decided that if the outcome was already decided, they would face it while moving forward rather than while staying still.
Lin Yi read that distinction in the Dragon Knight' s approach the moment the lunge committed. The angle was not the angle of someone reaching for victory. It was the angle of someone claiming the right to their final exchange.
The dragon aura expanded as Long Tianyu closed the distance, the full expression of his level 192 Dragon God Tamer capability deployed without reservation. The translucent dragon construct that had circled him in its close configuration extended outward and drove forward ahead of him as a projected force, the primary technique of the class at its maximum output.
Lin Yi held his position.
