Chapter 1151: Lucky Goddess Bai Xiuxiu |
TL: GoldenLung
Zhou Yicheng did not feel he had done anything wrong at all. One had only one life; a dragon could only live once. Compared to the one who died yesterday, he was already very lucky. At worst, he would lie low for a while. His rank as a Higher Dragon clan member would not change, and he could still live a comfortable life. Different dragons had different thoughts. After sensing Zhou Yicheng’s thoughts, Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu could not help but be a bit dumbfounded. Lan Xuanyu could not help but transmit to Bai Xiuxiu, "I feel like the goddess of luck has always been standing by your side!" Bai Xiuxiu also chuckled. Clearly, her opponent for tomorrow was gone again. She was helpless too; who could have predicted this situation? She had barely exerted any effort and already had three wins and one loss. Although she had also surrendered in one match, no one would think she had surrendered out of cowardice.
After all, her opponent was different. It was a matter of tactics. She had not surrendered due to pressure from her opponent’s aura, which was completely different from Zhou Yicheng’s surrender. What tactics did Zhou Yicheng have? He had lost his first two matches anyway. He was just giving up on himself, surrendering purely out of fear of death. Moreover, here, females, especially pretty ones, were naturally prone to sympathy. Bai Xiuxiu was now ranked near the top in the third combat zone.
The competition continued.
Almost like the previous days, the matches in the third zone were still the fastest to start and finish. Lan Xuanyu maintained a perfect record, tied for third place. Although only three rounds had been played and the subsequent situation was not yet clear, and his previous opponents had been relatively weak, many already believed that in this group, the biggest future rivals were exactly these two.
Bai Xiuxiu’s luck was not something only Lan Xuanyu mentioned; the title of "Goddess of Luck" had already fallen upon her. With two Dragon Knights present today, Lan Xuanyu’s supply of Dragon Force Liquid was especially abundant. As soon as the competition ended, he rushed to assist his companions in their cultivation. In two days, all members of the Thirty-Three Sky Wings had gathered at Elder Shu’s place. Those who had cultivated yesterday continued to consolidate today, while those who had not yet undergone body tempering attempted it for the first time.
After helping his companions through a round of cultivation, Lan Xuanyu returned to cultivate on his own. The first three rounds of the Rising Dragon Competition’s round-robin stage had undoubtedly gone very smoothly. Bai Xiuxiu could still win her fourth round without fighting. For Lan Xuanyu, the real challenge would begin from the fourth round onward. Next, he would face only the strong among the Higher Dragon clan. Bai Xiuxiu’s situation was somewhat better than Lan Xuanyu’s. She was guaranteed three wins and one loss after the first four rounds, and her final round opponent was Lan Xuanyu himself. If Lan Xuanyu had been successful before then and let her win in the final round, she would finish with four wins and one loss.
As long as she secured two more victories, she would have a great chance of advancing with a top-three record. The fourth round began under such circumstances. To Lan Xuanyu’s dismay, just before the fourth round was about to start, the Dragon Knights still had not appeared. Like the second round, only the dragon clan elders from various families and major cities came to watch the fourth round. He would not be able to replenish enough Dragon Force today.
Huang Yuanlang lost to his opponent again in the third round. He now had one win and two losses, a poor record, and his spirits were low. Huang Daoqi had never held out much hope for his son anyway, so he did not scold him, only reminding him to handle logistics for Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu.
He thought to himself that since no Dragon Knights were present today and he could not replenish enough Dragon Force, he would need to rely on the Rising Dragon Pillar to continue helping his companions cultivate. Otherwise, the energy would certainly be insufficient. How could he obtain feedback from the Rising Dragon Pillar during battle? While he was pondering, a voice suddenly sounded in his ear: "Hello, Golden Dragon Princess." Lan Xuanyu subconsciously looked up. A young man was standing not far in front of him, looking at him with a smile.
After several days of competition, Lan Xuanyu naturally recognized this young man. The one standing before him at this moment was his upcoming opponent.
"Hello," Lan Xuanyu said indifferently. As he spoke, he examined the young man. This young man was the unremarkable type in the third combat zone, ordinary in appearance, looking somewhat honest and simple, with a slightly stocky build. When he grinned, he always gave people a sense of being reliable. Because Lan Xuanyu was eager to absorb Dragon Force every day, he had not deliberately observed others’ matches.
He only knew that this fellow named Tang Yanxuan had two wins and one loss in the previous three rounds, with his only loss being to Xu Yanmo. According to the information Huang Yuanlang had provided, this unremarkable little fatty was a noteworthy opponent. His dragon clan family had some marital ties with the Huang Family of Fenglong City and was, aside from the Huang Family, another dragon clan family known for earth attributes. Of course, his family’s strength was not comparable to the Huang Family’s. Within his family, Tang Yanxuan was not the eldest legitimate son. "Please go easy on me. I’m a bit scared too," Tang Yanxuan said cheerfully to Lan Xuanyu.
Lan Xuanyu narrowed his eyes slightly, ignored him further, and maintained a cold demeanor. Having been snubbed, Tang Yanxuan rubbed his nose and stood beside Lan Xuanyu. Soon, everyone had gathered, and a god-level dragon clan strongman presided over the matches.
Stepping into the third combat zone, Lan Xuanyu stared at his opponent. Tang Yanxuan still looked cheerful, seemingly not too worried. "The match begins," the referee announced, and the fourth round of the Rising Dragon Competition’s round-robin stage officially started.
Due to his performances in the previous rounds, Lan Xuanyu naturally became the center of attention. Apart from the contestants in other zones, most of the remaining contestants turned their eyes here. Zhang Liang Ruixiao did not have a match at the moment and stood beside Qi Tianlong, chuckling, "Lan has run into that fatty Tang Yanxuan. Hehe, interesting. I wonder if her attacks can break through the fatty’s hard shell. That fatty is really quite troublesome." Qi Tianlong did not speak. He had also won all three previous rounds, maintaining a top rank in his group.
Today, he was also paying close attention to Lan’s performance. In Qi Tianlong’s view, although Lan had won all three previous rounds as well, "she" had faced relatively weak opponents, including one coward who surrendered out of fear. Starting from this round, "she" would truly face the strongest among the dragon clan. Only such matches could truly reveal "her" strength and whether "she" was qualified to be his competitor. These days, everyone had been studying their opponents, and more and more information about Lan was being collected, especially regarding "her" fighting style. "She" was an outstanding member of the Higher Dragon clan, with a flashy yet effective spear technique. "Her" bloodline could exert sufficient oppressive force on opponents, and "her" application of powerful bloodline abilities was excellent. Although "she" was female, "she" excelled in strength.
These were the abilities Lan had displayed in the previous matches. As for what other abilities Lan might have, that would have to be learned through more matches.
In the third combat zone, following the announcement of "the match begins," Tang Yanxuan’s eyes immediately brightened. Around his body, yellow flames rose like fire, and the air instantly took on a heavy feeling.
