When attending the elders' meeting, Walkris discovered that among the many elders, there were people of mixed race, including some who were hybrids (human-dragon).
After asking Xiao Ai, Walkris knew that there were only two situations that could lead to hybrids.
The first is that two different races combine to produce hybrid offspring with the characteristics of both parents.
This kind of hybrid offspring is extremely rare in human countries, but it is not uncommon in the Dragon God Council Country.
The second way is to absorb the racial essence of other races. These absorbed racial essences will more or less subtly transform the physical values of the absorber, making him a hybrid.
The method to distinguish the two is also very simple. The offspring produced by the mixture of two different races have obvious characteristics of the two races.
Other races that have combined with humans are generally referred to as half-XX because the hybrid offspring born have unclear characteristics.
As for those who absorb the essence of a race, if they are purebred, their morphological changes will not be too significant unless they mutate.
Judging from what Walkris has observed so far, Yang Yu obviously belongs to the latter. He basically has no characteristics of other races and still looks like a human being.
Besides, Walkris couldn't imagine how humans could be so indescribable as goblins and plants.
I'm not Brother Gongba, why do I have so many strange XPs
According to Aina, racial essence is one of the most precious treasures and is extremely important to every race. It is extremely difficult to gain recognition from different races and obtain the right to use the racial essence.
Yang Yu used the essence of two races at once, which was enough to prove his strength, which was far from as simple as it seemed.
Now, what Yang Yu has shown is probably just the tip of the iceberg of his terrifying strength.
This hypothesis can also perfectly explain Yang Yu's extraordinary reaction ability and extraordinary calmness.
Gradually unable to withstand Yang Yu's attacks, Walkris was beaten back step by step by Yang Yu. He tried hard to convince himself to accept the "facts" inferred in his mind.
“Yeah, that’s not my problem at all.
It’s just that the opponent is too strong.
Even if I lose, there's nothing strange about it.
But I am unwilling to accept this defeat.
I am a brave man after all."
Vokris tightened his grip on the sword; he had been the one who had initiated the duel.
In full view of everyone, he didn't even take a drop of blood from his opponent. As a brave man, Walkris couldn't save his reputation at all.
Soon, Walkris' goal changed from winning the game to finding a way to make the game look evenly matched to outsiders.
As for the identity of this person in front of me, there will be plenty of opportunities to verify it in the future.
After clearing his thoughts, Walkris took the damage from Yang Yu, suddenly retreated, came to the sidelines, kicked the white wall with his right foot, and shot towards Yang Yu like a bullet, holding the sword tightly with both hands, and a shining fluorescent light floated above the sword.
Since he knew that the other party was deliberately hiding his strength, Walkris no longer held back and used the strongest moves he had learned so far.
"[Fluorescent Severance]"
The light floating on the sword turned into a stream of light, which was divided into colorful colors, drawing a beautiful arc in the air, as gorgeous and dazzling as a rainbow.
"What a bunch of fancy skills."
Secretly complaining, Yang Yu smiled, raised his shield towards the brave man's sword, and used the most simple and unpretentious skill.
"[Shield Counter]"
Countless red spikes climbed up Yang Yu's shield. The sharp sword and the solid shield collided violently, emitting a dazzling red light. A red electric current followed Vokris's sword and drilled into Vokris' heart.
Yang Yu's health was reduced by a quarter in one breath, and Wokris's health was reduced by nearly half, approaching zero.
Wokris groaned and realized the effect of this skill. He quickly wanted to retract his sword and find another opportunity.
But Yang Yu would not give him this opportunity.
As soon as the shield and Vokris's sword touched, Yang Yu thrust the sword into the ground.
"[Bound by Thorns]"
Countless thorny bushes grew out from the ground and coiled around Vokris's torso at lightning speed, restricting Vokris's movements from all directions.
Perhaps, Vokris could use his extraordinary strength to tear off all the thorns that were entangled with him in an instant, but this instant was enough for Yang Yu to cut off the last few hundred points of Vokris's white shield.
The continuous attacks were like raindrops pouring down on Wokris. The faint white light attached to his body completely dissipated, and golden light suddenly appeared, then flowed like a big river, completely enveloping Wokris and making him no longer vulnerable to Yang Yu's attacks.
The outcome has been decided.
There was silence at first, and then thunderous applause broke out.
In the last military exam, everyone was talking about Yang Yu’s special solution, but there were still many people who felt sorry for not being able to see Yang Yu demonstrate his strength.
Now, seeing Yang Yu prove himself again, they felt an indescribable sense of relief in their hearts.
The elders who were watching the battle in the Elders' Council were all dumbfounded. Even though they knew that the hero was completely at a disadvantage, they did not fully expect that the hero would lose to Yang Yu so easily.
Many people have been speculating in their hearts who Yang Yu is.
The Special Countermeasures Committee once sent people to investigate the underground maze that Yang Yu mentioned. What Yang Yu said was all true, which made them curious.
All signs indicate that Yang Yu is not as simple as they imagined. Perhaps this kid knows many secrets that they don’t know.
Using the sword to support his body, Vokris raised his head and looked at Yang Yu.
"Well done, I totally lost to you this time. I had no chance to fight back at all.
I apologize for what happened the day before yesterday.
Can you tell me who you are?"
"You haven't noticed until now?"
Yang Yu simply put away his sword calmly.
"I'm really just an adventurer who goes around everywhere."
After saying that, Yang Yu turned around and walked towards the exit without looking back.
"Wait a minute, you can't be an adventurer that you can find anywhere. If you want to know why, I have seen through you."
Reaching out his hand towards Yang Yu whose back was gradually going away, Walkris stopped talking and widened his eyes in disbelief.
Yang Yu's level has increased by one level compared to before he fought with Yang Yu, and his attributes have also increased slightly.
"You must be kidding - this shouldn't be possible. How can someone hide their strength and suddenly increase their level?"
Gritting his teeth, looking at Yang Yu who was getting farther and farther away from him, Walkris's expression became extremely ugly, as if Yang Yu had completely and mercilessly denied all his previous thoughts.
