Chapter 003: Dragon Pattern Ring, Dragon Eye Activation
Translator: 549690339
Two days later, deep into the night at a bar in Zhonghai City, amidst the decadent lights and the passionate music, men and women were indulging themselves.
Meanwhile, in the back alley of the bar, there was a middle-aged man, leaning against the wall and continuously vomiting.
"Big Uncle! You really can't hold your liquor, can you? You've hardly drunk anything and look at you, throwing up like this!"
Yi Xiaofei watched from the side, looking at the vomiting middle-aged man, who was indeed Li Qian.
"You little brat! I can't hold my liquor? You say I can't hold my liquor, yet you didn't help me drink a few glasses. But you, kid, why are you so good at playing the fool? You guessed right every time!"
Li Qian burped a few times from the alcohol, completely drunk at this point, and had suggested coming to the bar with colleagues from Fate Restaurant, of course taking along his nephew to experience the nightlife of a big city bar.
"Big Uncle! Because I can see!"
Yi Xiaofei grinned and pointed to his eyes. However, Li Qian wouldn't believe what Yi Xiaofei said—he was completely bluffing.
"Xiaofei! Be modest, it's easy to get beaten up if you go around boasting like that, you know?"
Li Qian couldn't help but remind him.
"Big Uncle! Who can beat me? I'm not bragging, but I can take on ten at a time with no problem!"
"Psh! You with your scrawny frame? I doubt you could even handle heavy labor! Help me up, dammit! This alcohol... it's really strong, I think I'm pretty drunk this time!"
Li Qian felt dizzy and was already very unsteady on his feet. Yi Xiaofei then came to Li Qian's side and supported him. However, as soon as he did, Li Qian's body went limp, and he leaned on Yi Xiaofei and fell asleep.
Just then, raindrops began to fall in the darkness of the night, growing heavier with each passing moment, forcing Yi Xiaofei to drag Li Qian's body towards the back door.
Who could have expected such unpredictable weather that it would start raining suddenly and quite heavily, with large drops splattering on the ground and creating splashes on impact.
Turning around to drag his Big Uncle back inside the bar, at this moment, under the dim light of the wide alley by the back door, a figure appeared, moving with remarkable agility despite the rain. And from the silhouette, it was a woman, though at this moment she appeared quite disheveled, and she was being pursued by a large group.
"Third-rate experts, second-rate experts, and even first-rate experts!"
Yi Xiaofei frowned. Judging by the lightness of their footsteps as they approached, they were all experts of inner strength. In just a short moment, they had surrounded the woman and had begun to fight.
"So many men ganging up on one woman, do they have no shame? But then again, should I really get involved in such a trivial matter?"
Yi Xiaofei yawned and laid Li Qian's body down gently. Li Qian lay at the back door, snoring steadily.
But the next moment, Yi Xiaofei's gaze sharpened, as the woman being attacked seemed to be at the end of her stamina.
"You're lucky to have run into me!"
In an instant, Yi Xiaofei's figure dashed forward, his demeanor completely the opposite of the languidness before, reaching a speed that was maximized even under the torrential rain.
Water splashed everywhere as he charged into the encirclement.
"Who?"
A burly man reached out to capture the woman, but in the blink of an eye, a punch came flying, and the sound of the man's arm cracking could be heard.
"Grandmaster Realm!!!"
```
There was no more time to worry about the pain in his arm as he saw the figure being washed by the rain, his pupils constricted.
The woman trailing behind seemed to have reached her limit, hardly able to stand, and just as she was about to collapse, Yi Xiaofei caught her.
"Damn! That soft?"
Yi Xiaofei, while steadying her, inadvertently touched the woman's chest, which left him momentarily stunned.
However, now was not the time to reflect on the softness. Since he had chosen to involve himself in the matter, escape was no longer an option.
"Do you still have the strength? Get on, I'll carry you and we'll get out of here!"
Yi Xiaofei looked down the alley where more and more people were pouring in, his expression growing grave.
"Meddle in affairs that aren't your own, and even a Grandmaster won't be able to leave!"
A middle-aged man in black clothing stepped forward, emerging from the encircling crowd. He was nearly six feet three inches tall, with hawk-like eyes fixed intently on Yi Xiaofei.
At that moment, the injured woman, extremely weak but determined, clenched her teeth and using the last of her strength, wrapped her arms around Yi Xiaofei's crouching neck and coiled her legs around his waist, ensuring her own weight wouldn't restrict his movements.
"Everyone! Whatever this woman has done, a group of grown men surely can't bully one woman, right?"
"Oh? Can't bully one woman, so we'll bully you! Busybody, do you know how to spell 'death'?"
The tall, black-clad middle-aged man made his move, attacking Yi Xiaofei with a force that demanded his full attention.
"A Grandmaster Realm! And do you know what strength I possess?"
Trading punch for punch, Yi Xiaofei had to look after the woman on his back, and to make matters worse, others around him wielded blades, ready to deliver lethal strikes at any moment. These were not men to be trifled with.
In the Grandmaster Realm, one commands Gang Qi, and at such a time, the lethality is terrifying. Yi Xiaofei, young as he was, had already reached the Grandmaster Late Stage, but the black-clad man before him was at the Grandmaster Peak Stage, and possibly even a Half-Step Great Grandmaster.
Bang!
Constrained by some of the first-rate experts surrounding him, Yi Xiaofei staggered backward during a clash. The formidable force caused him to bleed from the corner of his mouth.
"Don't... save me!"
The woman's consciousness was beginning to blur. That a stranger had gone this far for her was already more than enough! Continuing like this would undoubtedly harm him.
"The person I, Yi Xiaofei, decide to save cannot be stopped by anyone!"
Yi Xiaofei lifted his right hand, wiped the blood that the rain hadn't washed away from the corner of his mouth, and then reached for the Dragon Pattern Ring on his left hand. Upon contact, the lifelike dragon pattern on the ring, with the dragon's eyes that were previously shut, suddenly snapped open under the stimulation of the blood. From within the Dragon Pattern Ring, a strange energy surged into Yi Xiaofei's body.
Such a transformation could not be seen by those present, but massive changes were already occurring inside Yi Xiaofei.
Dragon Pattern Ring! Dragon Eye Activation! The Gang Qi within his body underwent a transformation, and following this change, Yi Xiaofei burst forward with a speed far surpassing his previous one.
Bang!
The next moment, a scream emitted from the middle-aged man as he was flung away, while Yi Xiaofei, propelled by the downpour, broke free.
