I reign supreme in the Western fantasy world for eternity.

How to offend every race in one sentence?

Some of the more commonly accepted sayings on the mainland are: saying to dwarves, "Isn't your 'High King' even taller than me?"; saying to elves, "Why are this human's ears so pointy?"; and saying to dragons, "What a huge lizard/gecko!"

The red dragon's vertical pupils suddenly contracted into narrow slits, and a trembling sound, characteristic of dragons before they become enraged, emanated from deep within its throat.

It has lived for over two thousand years, and the last person to dare call it a "gecko" was three hundred years ago, long before the trees on its grave had grown to maturity.

"Little girl, say it again?" Red Dragon's voice was squeezed out from between his teeth, and his hot breath, carrying the smell of sulfur, sprayed onto Sherry's face.

Sherry tilted her head back, her orange-gold eyes staring unblinkingly at the pair of vertical pupils. Far from being afraid, she reached out and patted the red dragon's nose, as if she were patting a large dog.

The red dragon's nostrils twitched.

"The color is really beautiful, a dark red, and it even reflects light. Where did my master find you? I want to catch one too."

"you--"

"Shirley, don't be rude." Ji Tian's voice interrupted the red dragon's outburst. "It's a red dragon, a guest elder of the sect, and has lived for two thousand years. It's older than all of us combined."

Shirley said "Oh," and withdrew her hand, but couldn't help muttering, "Guest retainer? The kind who doesn't have to work and just eats for free?"

Two plumes of black smoke billowed from the red dragon's nostrils. Just as it was about to retort, Ji Tian spoke up again: "It is responsible for protecting the sect and will take action when enemies attack."

"Isn't that the gatekeeper?" Shirley suddenly realized, turning to Jenny and saying, "Our sect has a gatekeeper now, and it's a dragon."

Jenny slid off the bear's back, steadied herself, loosened Shirley's clothes, and bowed deeply to the red dragon: "Greetings, Senior Dragon. I am Jenny. My senior sister... she speaks bluntly, please don't take it to heart."

Red Dragon stared at Jenny for two seconds, then at Sherry, and finally turned his gaze to Ji Tian. He decided to hold back for now, for a great dragon doesn't hold grudges against petty people.

But the look in his eyes as he looked at Ji Tian clearly said: There are hardly any normal people in your sect.

Ji Tian ignored its gaze, walked down the steps, and came to the silverback giant bear.

The bear, which had been so imposing just moments before, took a half-step back and lowered its head when Ji Tian approached.

"What's it called?"

"We haven't named it yet." Shirley scratched her head. "I'm thinking of letting Big Black decide what to call it."

"...Bears don't need names."

"Yes, it's necessary! Big Black gestured to me last time that the female bear it fell in love with at first sight was named 'Hua Hua,' and it remembered it."

Ji Tian decided to stop dwelling on the issue.

He turned around, faced the crowd of people in the square with their various expressions, and cleared his throat.

"Now that everyone is here, let me make a formal introduction."

He first grabbed Lilith, who was watching the commotion from the sidelines, and said, "This is your sixth junior sister, Lilith. She is a demon, the daughter of the former Demon King. She is kind-hearted and is currently learning the art of concealing her breath. Please take good care of her and don't bully her."

Sherry glanced at the silver-haired girl who had been teleported and was now hiding behind her master. Lilith shuddered at her gaze and shrank even smaller.

"Demons?" Sherry tilted her head. "They don't look much different from humans. Junior sister, don't be afraid, your senior sister will protect you from now on!"

Lilith peeked half her head out from behind Ji Tian, ​​her voice barely audible: "Thank you, Senior Sister..."

Ignoring Lilith's reproachful yet shy gaze, Ji Tian pointed to Alex and Mason: "This is your seventh junior brother, Alex, the former hero and former wielder of the Holy Sword. This is Mason, a disciple, a top student at the Royal Capital Magic Academy, and a fire mage."

"A former hero?" Sherry's eyes lit up. She leaned closer to Alex, looking him up and down. "Can you fight?"

Alex politely replied, "I suppose so."

Shirley's orange-gold eyes shone even brighter as she grabbed Alex's wrist: "Come on, let's go to the training grounds and have a match!"

"Senior Sister," Alex said with great effort, steadying himself, "how about another day? We just officially started our training today, and haven't..."

"Alright! Tomorrow then! I'll bring Big Black too; it recently learned to kick its back leg."

Alex glanced at the giant bear, taller than a man, lying on the ground in the distance, and his lips twitched slightly.

Ji Tian didn't stop Shirley from challenging him, and shifted his gaze to the Red Dragon: "This is the Red Dragon's guest elder, his name... what's yours?"

The red dragon snorted: "I have no name, nor do I need one."

It actually has a dragon's [true name], but since this is a matter of life and death, how could it possibly tell others?

"Then let's call him Old Dragon," Ji Tian said casually.

Honglong opened his mouth, glanced at Ji Tian's unquestionable expression, and then closed it again.

Finally, Ji Tian pointed to Sherry and Jenny, and addressed the three of them and the dragon, "You've already met Ophelia and Alice last night, so I won't introduce them again. This is your senior sister, Sherry, who has a cheerful personality. This is your fourth senior sister, Jenny, who is diligent and hardworking, practicing swordsmanship every day without fail. If you have any questions about cultivation, you can ask her."

Shirley put her hands on her hips and laughed heartily, while Jenny blushed slightly and lowered her head.

Ji Tian looked around: "Alright, everyone get to know each other. Ophelia, you take your junior brothers and sisters to the Scripture Pavilion to choose basic cultivation techniques. Sherry, settle your bear down and don't let it run around. Old Dragon, do as you please."

Shirley didn't leave.

She stood there, her orange-gold eyes fixed on the dark red dragon that was about to turn and leave, and the corners of her mouth slowly curled up.

"Master said 'Do as you please,' so I'd like to have a fight now." She gestured with her chin toward the red dragon. "Senior guest, would you like to spar with this disciple for a couple of rounds?"

The entire red dragon was stunned. For the first time, it had been upgraded from a "gecko" to a "gatekeeper," and then to a "sparring partner."

This time it didn't refuse, after all, it was quite willing to teach this disrespectful girl a lesson.

"Are you sure?" The red dragon stood up from under the ancient pine tree, its giant wings half-spread, casting a shadow that covered half the square. "My claws are bigger than your head."

Shirley looked up at the colossal dragon that blotted out the sky and grinned, "That's perfect, it'll be exciting to fight it."

She turned her head to look at Ji Tian, ​​seeking her master's permission.

Ji Tian also felt that it was best to give the red dragon a warning first, to teach it what "humility" meant, so he nodded: "Stop there, don't demolish the square."

Shirley cheered and rolled up her sleeves as she walked toward the red dragon.

The red dragon looked down at the human girl, who was not much bigger than its own claw, and thought to itself: She is, after all, a disciple of a sect, and that freak's eldest disciple. I can't really hurt her. I'll let her have a couple of moves first, then sweep her away with my tail and let her know what it means to be "still the dragon."

It recalled the sense of threat it felt when it first met the other party, and thought that since the other party was a disciple of Ji Tian, ​​he must also know all kinds of magical magic, so it first used dragon language magic to raise its own magic resistance to the maximum.

"Come on, little girl. I'll give you a three-move head start. Don't blame me for bullying you if you lose."

Shirley stopped in front of it, assumed a horse stance, took a deep breath, and pulled her right arm back.

The red dragon's vertical pupils were casually lowered as it watched the fist slowly clench, and it sneered inwardly: No matter how strong it is, can it turn the world upside down?

It should be noted that when it fought its master Ji Tian, ​​the opponent only managed to scratch the old dragon with his fists and feet.

How ridiculous, how laughable.

Then it heard an extremely faint whistling sound, as if the air was being torn apart, and suddenly realized that it had been careless and should have dodged.

The punch landed squarely on its jaw.

The red dragon felt an overwhelming force explode from its chin, and its vision suddenly flipped upwards—the sky and the earth instantly switched positions. Then, a loud bang came from the back of its head, the sound of rocks shattering.

Its body tumbled twice in the air, breaking three ancient pine trees, before finally crashing into the mountainside.

Gravel fell with a clatter, and dust filled the air.

Shirley withdrew her fist, blew on her knuckles, turned to look at Ji Tian, ​​and gave him a bright smile: "Master, is it injured? I only used half my strength."

Ji Tian glanced at the dragon-shaped indentation on the mountain wall, then at the red dragon struggling to climb out of the rubble, its eyes filled with disbelief.

"It's alright, it has thick skin."
