This martial art was designed to subduing normal creatures, but the Red Dragon King was no normal creature.
“Child, you are still too young. You are no match for me,” the Dragon Mother said.
She yanked her arm back into place and then unleashed a barrage of single-handed heavy punches, completely abandoning all defense.
Jukkido Simon dodged the Dragon Mother’s fists by weaving left and right.
Finding an opening, she swung her fist in a counterattack, landing a heavy blow on her mother’s kidney.
However, her attack had no effect on the Dragon Mother. It didn’t hinder her mother’s frenzied assault in the slightest.
Simon never thought she would be suppressed so miserably one day.
Although Jukkido Simon knew her mother was powerful, she hadn’t realized she would be this formidable.
Compared to this, all the battles she had experienced before seemed like child’s play.
“My child, have you ever been on the brink of death? Have you ever met an opponent who was truly your equal? You rely on your naturally invincible physique to crush everything, and you think that is your own power. But you are wrong. That is not your power — it is the power of your bloodline,” the Dragon Mother mocked as she fought.
This was the true Red Dragon Martial Arts — abandoning defense to engage in direct, close-quarters combat, dragging the opponent to the ground to roll and bite.
All skill and speed lost their advantage; in the end, it was a contest of who had more HP, who was more barbaric, and who was more ruthless.
However, Jukkido Simon knew exactly what her mother was trying to do.
She retreated while fighting, preventing herself from being entangled and dragged to the floor.
In doing so, she felt increasingly unlike a Red Dragon.
‘Am I becoming weaker? I clearly learned Intellect and civilization at the God and Demon Academy. Have I actually become softer in front of my own mother?’
She could retreat no further. Directly behind her were the Mountain Peak Mansion and Feini.
Hoo! Hoo!
In the next instant, Jukkido Simon gritted her teeth.
Dragon Breath ignited on both her fists as she unleashed Double Dragon Rising from the Sea against her mother.
The double Enflamed Fist struck the Dragon Mother’s chest. This time, the blow successfully forced her back.
“…” The Dragon Mother patted the trailing flames on her chest.
Her eyes showed a hint of shock, and she looked at her daughter with a confused expression.
“Mother, I am no longer the same as the rest of you. I am a complete Red Dragon. I have reclaimed all the functions of the Dragon Tribe. I possess the strongest physique, the strongest strength, and the strongest Dragon Breath,” Jukkido Simon said coldly.
“This little bit of damage is nothing more than an itch,” the Dragon Mother mocked.
Despite her words, once Jukkido Simon’s fists were enchanted with Dragon Breath, the damage dealt to the Dragon Tribe was significantly increased.
This effect might not have been as pronounced against other races.
After all, an Ancient Dragon’s physical damage was already excessive; a single punch could turn most creatures into meat paste.
Adding a Dragon Breath Enchantment was just turning meat paste into a cremation service.
However, it was a different story when facing an Ancient Dragon.
Their Dragon Scales possessed maximum resistance to both magic and physical attacks.
It was quite unreasonable; almost no attack could deal significant damage.
But now, Jukkido Simon’s fists delivered a double strike of magic and physical power — a double dose of damage. It burned and hammered.
It was like hammering red-hot metal; the strikes possessed a powerful penetration that was naturally designed to deal with thick Dragon Scales.
Previously, Jukkido Simon’s Enflamed Fist hadn’t seemed like much, often being dismissed as mere combat special effects.
Now, its true purpose was finally revealed. It was specialized for fighting her own kind.
One could only say that the Hongshan Dragon was indeed clever; otherwise, he wouldn’t have survived so long. The Red Dragon was also cunning; otherwise, she would have been the one beaten to death just now.
Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! In the second round, their fists continued to clash.
The Enflamed Fist gave Jukkido Simon the upper hand. She was no longer being suppressed by the Dragon Mother.
This time, the Dragon Mother’s disadvantage began to show. Her experience was countered by the Enflamed Fist’s anti-dragon penetration.
With only one arm, she found it difficult to defend against her daughter’s fire-coated punches, which fell like a violent storm.
Her endurance and defense were simply inferior to her daughter’s.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The two traded punches and kicks. Heavy blows landed one after another on faces and chests.
The booming echoes resounded throughout Dragon Spine Mountain.
Before long, the Dragon Mother was covered in wounds. She collapsed to her knees, green smoke rising from her body as if she had been roasted through.
Feini watched, stunned. She hadn’t expected the battle between mother and daughter to end so quickly. ‘Is this the charm of superior stats?’
However, Jukkido Simon wasn’t in great shape either. She was actually coughing up Dragon Blood.
To be able to beat a mutated Red Dragon into this state, it was clear this battle hadn’t been as simple as it looked.
In reality, it had been incredibly perilous.
Jukkido Simon hadn’t won as easily as one might imagine. It had truly come down to the wire.
Although her stance was shaky, a win was a win.
“You won. Kill me,” the Dragon Mother said in a low voice.
“I won’t kill you, Mother. I am different from the old Dragon Tribe. I can control my instincts. I have been nurtured by Intellect, and I have learned how to appreciate beauty,” Jukkido Simon said, standing tall.
Not only that, she even walked over to personally help her mother up, attempting to influence everything with love.
The Dragon Mother took a deep breath. Her condition recovered by seventy or eighty percent almost instantly.
She slowly stood up without needing Simon’s support, but she knew she had been defeated. Her demeanor shifted instantly into that of a kind mother.
The two dragons had reconciled after their fight. This was likely the unique way the Dragon Tribe communicated; nothing was more efficient for a conversation than a brawl.
After the fight, the mother and daughter headed home together as if nothing had happened.
‘What on earth did I just watch?’ Feini muttered to herself from the window, her expression turning subtle.
This wasn’t exactly good news for her. Her daughter would surely come to rescue her, but now there wasn’t just one Red Dragon here — there were two.
The Dragon Mother’s combat power was nearly equal to Jukkido Simon’s, having lost by only a narrow margin.
The fact that Ancient Dragons usually couldn’t stand each other was a core part of their nature.
If Ancient Dragons knew how to cooperate, they would have ruled the world long ago.
But now, two Ancient Dragons were actually preparing to join forces.
‘I should focus on my own situation first.’
A moment later, Jukkido Simon brought Feini out, pushing the small wheelchair into the nearby dining hall.
The Dragon Mother was already seated, watching her with an equally subtle gaze.
‘I don’t really want to put it this way, but in a sense, we’re like a family of three.’
“Time to eat.”
Jukkido Simon had roasted several enormous beast tails outside. Exhausted after the fight, she and the Dragon Mother began to feast heartily.
Feini could only nibble on some Ore Nutrition Bars, though she had no interest in the beast tails anyway.
Jukkido Simon’s culinary skills could only be described as a disaster.
She simply used fire to burn the meat until it was cooked — purely natural, with no additives and absolutely no flavor.
