Chapter 1147: The Ferocious Golden Dragon Princess |
TL: GoldenLung
Ferocious, only the word "ferocious" could describe this Golden Dragon Princess. In two matches, she had caused one injury and one death among her opponents. This was a rare occurrence in the history of the Rising Dragon Competition. Lan Xuanyu stepped out slowly, not fast, but in reality, the blood vortex inside his body was spinning wildly.
Although he had not used the Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd, he had used his internal blood vortex to simulate the devouring method of that halberd, frantically absorbing Shao Xiu's power. At that moment, Dragon Force was being channeled into his body along his dragon lance.
The deficiency from the lack of dragon energy that day had been well compensated for. However, he did not dare go too far and did not fully absorb Shao Xiu's life energy. Returning to the resting area, Lan Xuanyu slowly lowered his dragon lance. "Her" gaze swept over the other competitors in the same group. Feeling that stare, everyone could not help but feel their hairs stand on end under that awe-inspiring gaze. At that moment, no one thought "she" was beautiful anymore. Lan Xuanyu withdrew his dragon lance, and the dragons responsible for maintaining order naturally carried Shao Xiu away. Striking down a fellow clansman during the Rising Dragon Competition was not permitted, but there were always exceptional circumstances.
Even in the earlier preliminary rounds, injuries had occurred, but this was the first death. How to handle it specifically would be up to the Higher Dragon elders to decide. Lan Xuanyu sat down cross-legged on the spot, closed his eyes, and used his blood vortex to condense the energy he had obtained from Shao Xiu into droplets of Dragon Force liquid, directing them toward his dantian while continuing to absorb the dragon energy from the Rising Dragon Platform. Not a single bit could be wasted. He had won two matches, both with such an overbearing momentum. Although his opponents had only been Intermediate dragons, in both fights he had given them no chance to fight back.
Bai Xiuxiu's opponent in her second match was Lin Zexuan, whom Lan Xuanyu had just defeated.
In arranging the order of opponents, Fenglong City had been very successful. Lin Zexuan did not put up a fight and simply chose to concede. In his current state, he could not even take off, let alone leverage his speed advantage. Not only for this match, he planned to concede the next one as well, intending to wait until his injuries improved before competing in the subsequent rounds. Watching Shao Xiu being dragged away, he suddenly felt somewhat fortunate that he had been timely in cutting his losses. This Lan was truly domineering.
Over in the spectator area, Huang Daoqi watched Lan Xuanyu win, first overjoyed, then his expression shifted slightly. He withdrew the Dragon Force light pillar and left the arena quickly before the match even ended. Killing a fellow clansman, even if it was a Higher Dragon killing a Intermediate dragon, was no small matter. He needed to handle it swiftly.
Lan had demonstrated formidable strength, showing great potential to make it to the finals. For the sake of the Huang Family's interests, he did not want to see Lan disqualified for accidentally killing an opponent. Xu Yanmo had been standing not far away, silently watching Lan Xuanyu sit cross-legged, absorbing the dragon energy.
Lan Xuanyu sat there meditating and cultivating as if no one else was around, enduring the heavy gazes of the others.
Only after all the matches in the group had concluded, and the massive light pillar dissipated, did the dragon energy become sparse. Then, together with Bai Xiuxiu, he left the Rising Dragon Platform. As the two of them ascended, the other competitors unconsciously kept some distance from "her". When it came to a direct confrontation, most were not afraid of him. But the ferocity "she" had shown was terrifying.
Many contestants felt fortunate not to be in Group Three, because nobody could tell just how far this person's true strength went. Back at their residence, Lan Xuanyu continued using the same method as the previous day to help his companions cultivate. That day, the total gain was somewhat less than the day before, but with Shao Xiu's Dragon Force as a supplement, the overall amount was still considerable enough for his companions to complete their cultivation sessions. Moreover, the five including Tang Yuge had absorbed a lot the day before and only needed a small amount of dragon energy that day. This time, Lan Xuanyu allocated more dragon energy to the other companions of the Thirty-Three Sky Wings. Elder Shu had gathered all the Thirty-Three Sky Wings members waiting there. Lan Xuanyu had already explained the bloodline refinement method to his companions.
Although they were all cultivating it for the first time, they were mentally prepared. For these relatively weaker companions, Lan Xuanyu used the Treasure Seeking Beast to convert the necessary bloodline energy for each of them, allowing them to attempt the refinement. The first refinement was the most important and also the most dangerous; the key was the experience. It took him nearly two hours to help those sixteen companions complete their first refinement. Then he returned to Rising Dragon City to cultivate together with Bai Xiuxiu and collectively improve.
The branches and leaves of Elder Shu had grown even more lush that day, and the energy obtained the previous day was still being further digested and absorbed. Lan Xuanyu could clearly feel that, centered around Elder Shu, the surrounding life energy had increased significantly, the dense life essence almost tangible. His companions cultivating near Elder Shu were all clearly gaining life energy benefits.
While Lan Xuanyu and his companions were busy cultivating, the matter of Lan killing the dragon sparked heated discussion across the entire Celestial Dragon Planet. Those discussing it fell into two factions: supporters and opponents.
The supporters' reasoning was simple: the opponent had tried to kill Lan, so could Lan be expected to show mercy? A close look at the footage clearly showed Shao Xiu carrying intense killing intent, with no intention of showing mercy throughout the entire battle. The opponents' voices were also loud; their argument was that Shao Xiu had fought with all her might because the Golden Dragon Princess was too powerful. Facing a high-ranked dragon as an Intermediate dragon, how could one have any chance without fighting desperately? Both sides held their ground, and the entire affair became a huge uproar.
Some of the Golden Dragon Princess's fans adored "her" even more, even to the point of worship, captivated by "her" domineering fighting style. Another portion of fans felt that "her" ruthlessness toward her own kind was too extreme. The incident continued to ferment, and how it would ultimately be handled was a matter of common concern. The final decision on how to deal with this matter clearly rested in the hands of the Higher Dragon elders.
