Chapter 699: A Critical Decision
Pandaren Radiant War Banner
Quality: Golden Legendary
Current Energy: 300/300 (Energy can be replenished by absorbing psychic energy.)
Effect: When activated, it consumes one energy point per second, granting all friendly units within a 2,000-meter radius a 100% boost to all attributes. Only effective for units below level 75.
Note: Why does the fire of war ignite? Why do the leaves of autumn fall? Nature cannot be taken away, and even we have our doubts.
...
Zongfeng obtained this war banner as a reward for completing the 50th stage of the main quest in the "Pandaren Empire" expansion pack. He had carefully selected its attributes.
The Pandaren who crafted this war banner was named Master Pan.
When crafting the war banner, Master Pan presented Zongfeng with 36 different manufacturing schemes, each resulting in a war banner with unique attributes. These included individual buffs, small area buffs, healing, shield boosts, and even attracting the attention of fish, among others.
Considering the needs of the war on Blue Star, Zongfeng chose the large area buff option over the more tempting individual buff. The chosen attributes were nothing short of perfect!
In the future, Zongfeng would command an entire mercenary army, and this war banner would maximize the enhancement of the mercenary corps' strength.
A 100% attribute boost for at least five minutes could significantly elevate the entire team's capabilities!
...
It seems I've digressed a bit.
Let's return to the chessboard arena.
When Zongfeng saw the Pandaren Radiant War Banner marked, his heart skipped a beat!
This item must not fall into Daniel's hands!
The war banner clearly displayed the flag of the "Pandaren Empire," with a lifelike black and white panda on it.
If Daniel obtained the war banner, Zongfeng's identity as a human from Blue Star would be immediately exposed! And Princess Coco could also be implicated!
The only way to prevent the war banner from being exposed was to fight Daniel and win. If he could keep the war banner from being seen, it wouldn't be exposed.
However, this plan had a fatal flaw—during the battle, the dragons would discover that he was an alien dragon, which would bring him significant trouble!
He needed to find a way to get through this crisis.
Zongfeng furrowed his brow, quickly thinking of a solution.
...
Daniel, however, had no intention of giving Zongfeng time to think. He believed Zongfeng was merely stalling.
He thought it would be better to use this time to find the next dragon to challenge!
"Hey! Are you going to surrender or not?" Daniel looked down at Zongfeng with impatience.
Zongfeng was deep in thought and did not respond.
Seeing the small black dragon ignore him, Daniel became furious.
He flapped his wings forcefully, sending gusts of wind toward Zongfeng.
At the same time, he shouted, "According to the game rules, you have 30 seconds to make a decision. If you don't, you automatically lose! 30, 29, 28..."
Feeling the strong wind, Zongfeng looked up at him.
But he still did not respond.
The dragons in the audience were bored.
From their perspective, Zongfeng seemed cowardly and indecisive, and his fighting strength was likely not much to speak of.
Even if the fight started, the small black dragon wouldn't last long, so everyone found it rather uninteresting.
...
Zongfeng continued to think rapidly.
To be honest, it was difficult to come up with a perfect solution in such a short time.
In the final 5 seconds of Daniel's countdown, after much deliberation, he made his final decision—to fight!
Even though fighting would expose him as an alien dragon rather than a native dragon, it was better than having his identity revealed by losing the military flag.
Once he engaged in combat, the dragons would discover he was an alien dragon. He had to insist that he was from the Holy Silver System and not mention Blue Star. This was a risky move, but it was the best solution he had at the moment.
"Daniel, come on, let's have a battle!" Zhongfeng made his decision and spread his wings, charging straight at Daniel.
"Fine, I'll teach you a lesson!"
Daniel, not one to back down, charged head-on at Zhongfeng without any attempt to dodge.
The two dragons, one black and one white, collided like comets crashing into Earth.
...
Seeing the action finally begin, the crowd, which had been noisy, fell silent instantly.
However, the events that unfolded were far from what they had imagined.
After the two dragon silhouettes collided, Zhongfeng's black dragon silhouette quickly gained the upper hand!
Once the collision ended, the black dragon silhouette had knocked the white dragon silhouette off course, causing it to stumble and roll off the chessboard.
At that moment, the 30% boost to all attributes seemed utterly ineffective.
Clearly, even with the 30% boost, Daniel couldn't match Zhongfeng.
At least in the first clash, Zhongfeng had a decisive victory, while Daniel suffered a crushing defeat!
...
The reason for Daniel's defeat was simple—he hadn't used his full strength, while Zhongfeng had.
Daniel had a straightforward goal: to defeat Zhongfeng. Zhongfeng, however, had a different mindset.
He believed that if he was going to play the role of an alien dragon, he needed to deliver a crushing victory to these "natives"!
After all, the main dragon race from the Holy Silver System was far stronger than the branch on Skrul Star. If he couldn't demonstrate a clear advantage, it would be hard to prove he was truly from there.
So, from the start, Zhongfeng activated all the burst skills in his dragon form, successfully knocking Daniel off course in the first collision!
And that was just the beginning.
Taking advantage of the burst buffs and his remaining momentum, Zhongfeng quickly pounced on Daniel.
Daniel was no match for Zhongfeng during his burst phase and was forced to retreat step by step.
The spectators around the arena were stunned into silence, the entire arena as quiet as a grave.
Everyone had expected Daniel to win, and they thought it would be another monotonous and boring victory.
But who would have thought that Zhongfeng would completely dominate Daniel, leaving him with no means of retaliation?
"Which offspring of the Black Dragon Clan is this? I've never heard of him before."
"This dragon is amazing! Daniel is no match for him."
"Wait a minute, everyone! Did you notice? His fighting style is completely different from ours! The methods he uses are entirely different!"
"Does this mean... he might really be from somewhere else?"
"This dragon... could he be from another planet?"
...
Faced with the dragons' doubts, Zhongfeng decided to stop pretending.
He removed the disguise he had added upon arriving on Skrul Star, revealing his true dragon form.
Zhongfeng's transformation stunned the entire arena, and the dragons were once again left speechless.
The dragons looked at each other, unable to believe their eyes.
