A Dragon against the Whole World

Chapter 477: Chapter 349: Trish: "It’s Simple, Just Insult Me as Much as You Want!

Is it a different kind of, well-intentioned motivation?

To be fair, if it weren’t for her almost cruel and rigorous supervision in the past, they wouldn’t have trained so hard and wouldn’t have become as strong and resilient as they are now.

Perhaps those unpleasant incidents before were really just a huge misunderstanding?

Was her acting too good, or were we too narrow-minded?

The dragons subconsciously exchanged glances. The intense malice and anger in their eyes were greatly shaken and dissipated by Trish’s sudden revelation of true emotions.

Trish noticed their emotional loosening and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

But in the next second, her heart leaped to her throat.

Because the voice of the Red Iron Dragon rang out.

He agreed with the White Dragon’s words, adding at a leisurely pace, "Yes, in the arduous task of educating young dragons, I indeed gave Trish a lot of autonomy, allowing her to use the methods she deemed most effective."

"But even I didn’t anticipate it at the beginning."

"Her educational methods are uniquely distinctive and remarkably effective."

Galos’s gaze swept over the four teenage dragons and said, "Those repeated verbal insults, the relentless physical beatings, the severe education that can be described as torture and trampling..."

"You should indeed remember deeply and be grateful to her."

Every word Galos dropped was like pouring a bucket of hot oil onto the anger of the teenage dragons, which had just slightly subsided.

The flames that had just dimmed in their eyes reignited and became more intense.

"Yes! Honorable Pale Wings! We are indeed... very, very thankful for your teachings!"

Prompted by Galos’s reminder, all the humiliating memories of the past surged in like a tide, almost squeezing the words from the dragons’ clenched teeth with a grimace.

No matter what the original intention was, the insult and trampling from the white scales were real to them.

Trish’s heart instantly turned ice-cold.

"Ah! Damn Galos! I suspect you’re just trying to fan the flames!"

She wanted to shout this at Galos regardless, but facing the Red Iron Dragon, whose ecological niche was absolutely overwhelming and unfathomable, she instinctively swallowed the words back, not even changing her expression.

"No... no need to thank me."

Maintaining a calm facial expression, Trish continued, "Although it was not my intention, guiding and urging you to grow strong is my responsibility and something I must do."

However, the dragons opposite her remained unmoved.

Amidst the veil of rain, their voices united together, piercing the sound of the rain, clearly saying, "Honorable Pale Wings... Trish! Under the witness of the great King of Molten Iron! We challenge you!"

On Galos’s enormous dragon head appeared a satisfied look, as if this was the scene he had been anticipating.

He said, "Trish, as an experienced adult dragon and their former mentor, emotionally and rationally, you have no reason to refuse this respectful challenge."

Then he turned his head to look at the four eager teenage dragons.

"In what form do you wish to conduct this challenge?"

The dragons briefly exchanged words, then Blue Dragon Heryam, as the representative, said in a deep voice, "One-on-one, taking turns to challenge!"

"We want her to lose convincingly!"

One-on-one?

This is simply asking for trouble.

Although Trish is generally recognized as the lowest-ranking among the Five-Colored Dragons, she is, after all, a mature dragon over two hundred years old, her life level far above these young dragons by more than one level.

In a solo fight, they have a chance of winning against her, but it is undoubtedly slim.

However, to Galos’s slight surprise, White Dragon Trish shook her head.

She spoke up, "No, that wouldn’t be fair to you."

"Since it’s a challenge, I hope to accept it in a fairer way, just like when I taught you before, all four of you, come at me together."

In a one-on-one fight, she is likely to win.

But so what?

Now the gap in strength between them is no longer so great.

Even if she wins, it doesn’t mean that she can still insult them as she did before, but it will instead further provoke contradictions, causing them to accumulate even deeper anger.

When they become stronger in the future, she is bound to face a more intense, merciless counterattack.

In this case, she might as well take advantage of their claws that are not yet sharp, while their strength has not completely surpassed hers, and use this challenge as an opportunity to let them vent their pent-up anger all at once!

Getting beaten up once is better than being remembered for a lifetime.

Wait, maybe I misunderstood Galos, perhaps he organized this challenge for my own good... Trish thought to herself.

"All right!"

The emotionally charged teenage dragons only focused on revenge, without considering the calculation behind it.

Hearing that the White Dragon actually requested to fight four-on-one willingly seemed only to show that she still looked down on them, further igniting their anger, and they agreed without hesitation.

Still too young, easily manipulated by this cunning White Dragon... Galos slightly shook his head on the side, perceiving Trish’s intentions. He realized that since Trish understood the theory of ecological niches, she has become increasingly clever.

However, he did not intend to further interfere.

The earlier stirring that pushed things to this point was the limit; since Trish could come up with a clever response on her own, as the leader, he should not excessively intervene in the grievances among them.
