Chapter 77

Brooklyn.

In front of the formation circle, Li Ang pointed to the five 【Luo Si Scales】 (beggar version) beside him and said to James: "Alright, come find me after you've sold all of these."

Seeing this, James first nodded, then scratched his head and said: "Boss, the southern port seems to be under lockdown—several gangs have been driven off."

Hearing this, Li Ang turned around and stared at the black man before him: "Do you think whatever I'm looking for is over there?"

"Boss, even when big drug lords' ships got seized before, it never got this crazy."

As he spoke, worried his intelligence might be inaccurate, James quickly added: "Of course, it's up to you, Boss—it could just be something simple at the port, like a ship running aground."

Li Ang paid no mind to James's latter remark, instead stroking his chin in thought.

One minute later, he looked up at the black man before him: "Take me there."

"Yes, Boss!"

Li Ang chose to check the port out simply out of a "might as well try" attitude.

After all, if it were a local transcendent, he needed to see what level this world was at, so he could adjust his strategy accordingly.

'I hope the world's transcendents aren't too insane.'

Compared to fighting above his level, Li Ang preferred bullying the weak—especially since going against the odds was still going against the odds.

Not long after, James drove a Ford F-150—no one knew how many hands it had passed through—to the port he mentioned.

But before the two could get close, a police car pulled them over.

"Area under lockdown. Go back where you came from."

A young man in police uniform walked up to the window and coldly addressed Li Ang and James inside.

Hearing this, James glanced nervously at Li Ang beside him, hoping for a signal to retreat.

But Li Ang had no interest in such trivial matters now.

For just now, he had heard a roar unlike anything a normal Earth creature could produce.

'So this world does have transcendents—just monsters?'

'But is their handling method really this crude?'

Thinking this, Li Ang glanced at the officer whose expression was turning hostile, and said to James in the driver's seat: "Alright, let's go back."

The black man, relieved, immediately tried to drive away from the port.

At that moment, a wild roar grew louder, drawing closer to Li Ang and James.

The next instant, a creature resembling a lizard with wings burst into the sight of everyone present.

The moment he saw the unknown creature, Li Ang's pupils shrank sharply:

'A dragon?!'

Without time to think, he immediately opened the car door and stepped out.

James, meanwhile, was frozen in terror, trembling all over, unable to stop muttering "Ah! Ah!"

As for the officer who had stopped Li Ang and James earlier, he reacted swiftly, pulling out his handgun and opening fire.

As he shot, he grumbled: "Seriously, what the hell are they doing at the port? How did this dragon break through the blockade?"

As he spoke, the officer began backing away slowly, trying to lure the charging dragon away from himself.

Meanwhile, dense gunfire erupted from the surrounding woods—clearly, the police weren't the only ones present.

Unfortunately, their actions had no effect; instead, they only further enraged the unknown dragon.

It roared, then lunged straight at Li Ang.

"Roar!!"

"?"

At this moment, Li Ang could almost smell the foul stench emanating from the dragon's mouth.

But what concerned him most right now was

'Why is it charging at me!?!'

Li Ang stared at the massive dragon barreling toward him like a locomotive, a flicker of confusion in his eyes.

They had no grudge—how could this giant reptile be fixated on him?

The officers beside him, witnessing this, could not suppress expressions of shock.

Before they could think further, they shouted: "Get out of the way!"

But seeing the dragon already charging at his face, Li Ang remained calm, immediately entering Reverse Birth state.

Then, with a light tap of his toe against the ground, he moved less than three meters—easily dodging the dragon's head-on charge.

Seeing this, the officers' expressions shifted from shock to Solemn.

'Half-breed?!' Seeing Li Ang's move, everyone realized he wasn't ordinary—'But what kind of Word-Spell is this?'

No one knew the answer—they had never seen such a Word-Spell before.

Li Ang didn't know his Reverse Birth: Three Layers had been mistaken for a Word-Spell.

He looked at the dragon, which had overturned the Ford F-150, now staring at him with pale golden eyes, and a faint smile curled on his lips.

'I was just wondering where to get the 【Luo Si Scales】 I needed—and here you are, delivering yourself.'

Li Ang had originally intended to flee; as an outsider, he had no reason to fight a dragon.

But who could've guessed the thing would just charge straight at him without a care?

Wait—

Li Ang suddenly seemed to understand why the dragon was fixated on him.

He remembered the 【Luo Si Scales】 (youth version) he was wearing.

'Could it really be because of this?'

Never mind that the 【Luo Si Scales】 he wore were made from insect carapaces—even if they were truly made from dragon scales, would dragons enforce laws across worlds?

It was just that, upon sensing the somewhat crazed look in the eyes of the giant dragon opposite him, Li Ang couldn't help but shake his head slightly:

'So it's a mad one.'

At this moment, the squad that had previously carried out the interception at the port arrived at the scene with their heavy equipment, just barely making it.

The squad captain, looking at the one person and one dragon confronting each other not far away, asked the officer beside him with some bewilderment: "Does our branch have a half-blood like this?"

"And what's his bloodline rating? How dare he face a Fifth-Generation dragon alone?"

"And that Word Spirit of his—how come I've never seen it before?"

A string of questions nearly gave the officer a headache.
