Chapter 625: Clash of the Two Giants

Lei En heard Ao Xiliya's words and thought, "This is terrible."

Sure enough, A Xina, unwilling to be outmatched, immediately retorted, "The Rainbow Dragon can come to Weizelan; why can't I?" Legendary dragon species are rarer than Titan Giants; if their identity is exposed, more people will covet Ao Xiliya.

Ao Xiliya's pupils contracted, and her expression finally changed.

She looked at Lei En and asked, "How did she know?"

"It has nothing to do with Lei En. When I signed a soul contract with him, I saw the Rainbow Light Principle," A Xina volunteered Lei En's defense. The Rainbow Light Principle's sole source is the Rainbow Dragon, and anyone with a slight understanding of Elements knows that.

But Lei En couldn't feel happy at all; A Xina had pulled herself into the same camp as her.

His thoughts turned sharply.

When A Xina just suggested coming to Weizelan, Lei En deliberately sensed Ao Xiliya's location; she was meditating in the Wu Shi Ta and wouldn't finish for a while. Moreover, she is usually busy researching magical knowledge and only meets him occasionally, so today was truly abnormal.

Someone must have been meddling behind the scenes and informed Ao Xiliya!

Lei En immediately guessed who it was; a young beautiful Half-elf face flashed in his mind, leaving him both amused and exasperated.

In Ao Xiliya's view, magical research is paramount and matters of the heart are secondary; as long as it doesn't affect her meditation and magical research, she doesn't care about having other women. Even after her mating season ends, she would gladly stuff another woman into her own arms to satisfy physiological needs, so she wouldn't be disturbed in her cultivation.

Her hostility toward A Xina must stem from two reasons.

First, the soul contract; A Xina will contest her for the Wish Spell. Second, the age‑old feud between dragons and giants, which has been a mortal rivalry since the Second Era's world domination, a hatred etched into their bloodlines, persisting for tens of thousands of years without resolution.

"Soul contract?"

Ao Xiliya instantly became wary.

She and Lei En are soul mates, able to communicate mentally via the soul contract Element, constantly sensing each other's location and condition. Yet she usually immerses herself in magical research, and to avoid interference, the two rarely activate the soul contract Element.

Moreover, whether a soul mate has another soul mate is something she cannot sense.

Thus she only now learned of A Xina's relationship with Lei En.

Lei En hurriedly explained, "A Xina has already chosen another Element; the Wish Spell is still available."

The soul contract Element sensed that the Wish Spell could still be chosen, and Ao Xiliya's brows relaxed slightly, yet her hostility toward A Xina remained strong as she sneered, "Do you crave the Truth Willpower and a steel body? And the Key of Doors, which can make your mind smarter, turning you into the strongest giant Arcane mage. Unfortunately… you're too late!"

That struck a sore spot for A Xina.

When she learned those Elements had already been snatched by others, she felt heartbroken, but since it was an established fact she couldn't change, she could only accept it helplessly.

Now Ao Xiliya's words were like salt on a wound, inflaming A Xina's anger.

That "make your brain smarter" line was especially excessive.

It is an insult that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years; since before the Second Era, dragons have been exceedingly arrogant, believing themselves the strongest race in the world, and any giant who opposes them is a fool, with a dim mind unable to master magic as easily as they do.

Lei En also knew this anecdote and muttered, "We're doomed!"

"Arrogant reptile!"

A Xina's eyes spewed lightning‑like fury, "You've entered your prime, haven't you? A woman over a hundred years old still has the nerve to steal a man from me. If you dare utter another word, I'll strip this colorful scaled skin from you and forge it into armor; when you die, all of Lei En's Elements will be mine."

Her voice thundered, pouring out like a raging storm.

With each word, A Xina's body grew taller, revealing her true Titan Giant form; her head nearly brushed the ceiling, and she brandished sword and shield, ready to strike.

"You dare provoke me with a bit of barbaric strength? As expected, a fool," Ao Xiliya said without fear, her body also radiating terrifying dragon might.

The two overwhelming auras clashed, colliding and surging like a towering wave.

The top floor of the Wu Shi Ta trembled.

Whoa!

The events unfolded so quickly that Lei En couldn't intervene; seeing the ancient feud about to erupt, he flashed between the two women and shouted, "Both of you, stop!"

The dragon might and the Titan's aura stalled for a moment.

The atmosphere froze.

Ao Xiliya snorted coldly, "Lei En, she said she wants to kill me, and you do nothing?"

"You provoked me first," A Xina asked in a low voice.

"You call me an old woman!"

"You call me foolish, and you are already an old woman, over a hundred years old."

The giant and the dragon faced each other, and after just two sentences they were quarrelling fiercely again.

Lei En's head ached; he had never imagined he'd one day face such a hellish scene, how delightful it was when he was intimate with them, and now tidying up the situation was equally troublesome.

While he was at a loss, the two women's argument flared up again.

But they restrained themselves and didn't actually strike.

Ao Xiliya, uncharacteristically, gazed at Lei En with a hint of loss of composure and demanded loudly, "Clearly I came first; I was the one who first signed the soul contract with you, and I first shared the Element with you. Why did you become a soul mate with that giant without my consent?"

"It's my fault," Lei En said with guilt.

"When I made the contract with Lei En, he never told me you existed," A Xina said, looking at Lei En without blaming him, then shrugged casually, "Anyway, the contract can't be broken; you handle it, go explain to the elder yourself."

"That's also my fault," Lei En said likewise.

His attempt to please both sides only displeased the two women, who in unison demanded, "Lei En, who are you really supporting?"

"I..."

Lei En looked left and right, ultimately speechless.

They hadn't always been like this: one was aloof and detached, rational and wise, caring about nothing beyond magic; the other was capable and reasonable, empathetic, both admiring and gentle toward him. He had thought they could coexist peacefully, even if they never became friends, there would be no enmity, but unexpectedly they met and acted like mortal enemies, their intellect plummeting, personalities shifting dramatically, fighting to the death.

Historical legacy issues are killing people!

Just as Lei En was torn, someone else teleported onto the top floor, drawing the three's attention; Lei En held a sliver of hope, finally someone came to break the stalemate.

But the next second, his expression froze.

A tall figure, whose looks and charm rivaled Ao Xiliya and A Xina, appeared on the teleportation array; she wore a fitted magical robe, black hair like a waterfall, eyes bright as stars in the sky—Lei En's student Po Laruisi.

"Teacher..."

Po Laruisi, upon appearing, immediately sensed the dangerous, solemn atmosphere in the hall; she had just called out "Teacher" when she was cut off, her expression startled, the inexplicable sparkle in her eyes dimming.

Ao Xiliya was not familiar with this nominal student; she had previously even suggested Lei En take her as a lover, but now she harbored hostility toward her.

Asina's gaze was sharp, another beautiful female student!

Lei En's spiritual contract Element sensed the two's thoughts, and his head instantly swelled; Polalaisi, why are you joining the commotion now?

He has no particular thoughts about Polalaisi; now even jumping into the Yellow River wouldn't clear it.

"Polalaisi, what's the matter?" Lei En asked with a stern face.

"Um…" Polalaisi was stunned for a few seconds before regaining composure, pretended not to see the two tense women, and said seriously, "Master, I wish to travel abroad, seeking a chance to ascend to a legendary wizard, and hope to obtain your approval."

This was something agreed upon before the wizard exchange tournament.

Polalaisi and Dalama have both risen to level nine; with their talent and the abundant resources provided by Lei En, they will soon reach the high‑tier pinnacle and begin challenging the legendary rank.

Staying in Weizelan also offers a chance to ascend to legendary, but it will certainly be slower.

Venturing out on adventures, experiencing battles and life‑or‑death trials, learning to stand on one's own is more beneficial for their future than forever hiding under the Master's wing.

Dalama left after the exchange tournament ended.

Polalaisi spent this period returning to be with family, which delayed things until now.

"Fine."

Lei En nodded, and he had prepared magical items for both students, pulling them out immediately.

A standard‑capacity dimensional space ring containing a batch of precious magical elixirs, scrolls and living supplies, as well as two or three pieces of magical equipment custom‑made by Chairman Dalangdeng for them, and a magical talisman for survival in the direst moments.

Dalama's share had already been taken.

The remaining dimensional space ring belongs to Polalaisi; Lei En instructed, "This is prepared for you. Wear it, be cautious out there, and if you encounter trouble you cannot resolve, you must rush back to Weizelan; the Master will help you."

"I will remember, thank you, Master," Polalaisi said under the gaze of two blade‑sharp looks, and accepted the exquisitely crafted ring.

She dared not linger, and solemnly bowed, "Master, I take my leave."

Then she teleported away as if fleeing.

The brief interference by Polalaisi warmed Aoxiliya's and Asina's anger a little; the atmosphere was no longer so tense, but they both glared at Lei En in resentment without speaking.

Lei En silently exhaled in relief; as long as they don't start fighting, it's fine.

Through the high tower's control formation, he saw Polalaisi, after leaving, whisper a few words at the door of Anweila's room, and only then realized Polalaisi hadn't stumbled upon it by chance but had deliberately chosen this moment to help herself out of the bind.

And behind this, Anweila was the one giving the ideas.

What a good student!

At this moment, Lei En felt both love and hatred toward Anweila; she was the one who caused the trouble, and also the one who helped resolve it. For someone so young, she had already mastered the palace‑intrigue tactics. Polalaisi was no pushover either; she deliberately delivered a message at Anweila's door, exposing their connection, because she didn't want Anweila to use her as a pawn and pull her out.

As expected, Anweila must have taken the chance of Polalaisi's delay to bring reinforcements for herself.

The thought just formed, and a teleportation portal opened right before them.

From it stepped a tall, slender old wizard.

Anxiwodasi arrived.

"Master!"

This was the first time in Lei En's life that he felt the Master's face was so kindly amiable; he was so delighted he almost had tears well up, and hurried forward to greet.

Aoxiliya also restrained her draconic aura and called softly, "Master."

"What happened here?" Anxiwodasi asked as soon as he appeared, "Lei En, how did I sense your Wu Shi Ta shaking?"

"We were just roughhousing, didn't control it well, so it got a bit noisy," Lei En forced an explanation.

"Glad it's nothing serious."

Anxiwodasi pretended not to know, and upon seeing Asina enlarged to over three meters tall, exclaimed, "Are you a Titan Giant?"

Asina already knew this wizard's identity.

Her raging anger was instantly doused like snow water; she immediately shrank to human form, bowed respectfully and said, "Anxiwodasi Master, the elder asked me to convey greetings to you."

While speaking, she took a communication gem from the Nebula Ring.

Anxiwodasi was even more surprised.

He received a message from the gem, from Suolim of the Storm Temple, and said, "So it is a greeting from the Titan Elder; Sir Suolim, you are thoughtful. When there is a chance, I will find time to visit the Storm Temple and seek your magical knowledge."

Asina was overjoyed, "The Storm Temple awaits your arrival, Master."

It was then that Lei En realized Suolim had also covertly tasked Asina with delivering a message; it seemed this Titan Elder was determined to forge a link with Weizelan.

He just didn't know whether Suolim's message mentioned any agreement with him.

"Lei En," Anxiwodasi turned back and scolded, "I don't wish to meddle in your private affairs, but since Aoxiliya and Asina are your soulmates, you must treat them fairly; no one may be shortchanged, or I will intervene with punishment."

"Yes, Master."

Lei En felt a secret joy; the Master's verbal warning was actually still protecting himself.

Anxiwodasi then looked at Aoxiliya, speaking gently, "The hatred of the Twin Giant Era does not concern you; Aoxiliya, you must learn to control the power brought by your bloodline, and not let it disturb your mind. You are first a wizard, then a dragon; you must eliminate this interference, as a wizard's mental Willpower is governed by oneself, not by the bloodline."

Aoxiliya suddenly realized, "I will keep the Master's teachings in mind; I shall return now."

"Go ahead."

With Anxiwodasi's permission, she gave Lei En a graceful smile, then reluctantly gave Asina a gentle nod of respect, and her figure vanished.

Lei En sensed that Aoxiliya had returned to his high tower.

Through the spiritual contract Element he offered a few comforting words, found that her emotions had indeed fully calmed, and continued his meditation, finally feeling at ease.

"Asina, you must also heed what I said to Aoxiliya," Anxiwodasi instructed.

The female giant dared not disobey, bowed her head and said, "Yes, Anxiwodasi Master."

Anxiwodasi's gaze finally rested on Lei En, he let out a long sigh, and his voice echoed in Lei En's mind, "From now on, try not to let them meet; the influence of the bloodline is not so easily erased. This time I can help you, but next time may not be so."

Lei En felt embarrassed, silently nodded and saw the Master off.

After Anxiwodasi left, Asina exhaled; the Holy Soul wizard had put great pressure on her, and did not pursue the matter of Aoxiliya further, as if nothing had happened.

Lei En was so delighted.

He dared not stay in the high tower, so he took Asina to stroll around Weizelan a few times, then teleported to the ground for a night tour of Mo Du, returning only in the late night to rest at Gra Morgan Castle. After witnessing Mo Du's scenery and bustle, Asina immersed herself in sword duels with Ouroin Master, almost unwilling to leave Jin Gang Fort.

The giant dragon's lair is in Fu Kong Cheng, and giants linger in Jin Gang Fort.

Two soulmates were separated by tens of thousands of li, never to meet again, allowing Lei En to spend a peaceful stretch of days.

A few days later, the Consul's messenger arrived in Gelamogen, inviting Lei En to go to the imperial capital.

The struggle for control of Naisi Fu Kong Cheng's control rights has begun.
