Chapter 1153: Four Fights, Four Wins |
TL: GoldenLung
The spectators could not help but gasp at what they saw. Tang Yanxuan's family had always been renowned for their strong defense, known as the Wall of the Dragon Race. Tang Yanxuan possessed such formidable defensive power, yet he was sent flying in a single exchange under his opponent's assault.
How tyrannical was that offensive power! Tang Yanxuan's hand gripping his war hammer trembled. His body was flung into the air, and his blazing aura surged once more, but his complexion had clearly turned pale. Lan Xuanyu did not pursue. He tilted his dragon spear toward the ground, holding the long shaft behind his back as he walked toward his opponent step by step. With each step he took, the dragon's roar from his body grew clearer and louder. The golden light and shadow behind him solidified further, and his momentum surged, just like that day when he had faced that coward, Zhou Yicheng. Tang Yanxuan now understood a little why that person had taken the initiative to concede that day.
The aura from this Lan was simply too terrifying. Every dragon's roar seemed to echo in his heart, suppressing his bloodline into unstable fluctuations, and his yellow blazing aura trembled. With each step Lan Xuanyu took, his momentum grew stronger. When Tang Yanxuan saw Lan Xuanyu's eyes gradually turn red and his pupils begin to vertical slits, the fear became somewhat uncontrollable. If Lan Xuanyu had unleashed such momentum from the start, Tang Yanxuan could have resisted. But he had just endured the full-force strike of Dragon God Shock, and his body was still trembling. Although not severely injured, he had no idea whether he could block the next blow.
With the opponent's momentum having accumulated to such a terrifying degree, the next attack would surely be as fierce as thunder and lightning. Some of the top contenders, who had previously looked relatively relaxed, finally turned solemn as they watched this battle. Lin Zexuan and Shao Xiu were only Intermediate Dragons; their losses were not surprising. But Tang Yanxuan was a Higher Dragon, and one extremely skilled in defense.
Judging by the current situation, Tang Yanxuan was clearly in trouble. Those who knew him well understood that his yellow blazing aura was both offensive and defensive, the very foundation of his combat power. Yet in one strike, just one strike, that yellow blazing aura had been shattered. This showed that the opponent's offensive power was so great that he had no choice but to resort to such means to cope. Terrifying to the extreme—only these four words could describe Lan's attack.
Tang Yanxuan testified firsthand, telling everyone just how powerful Lan's offense was and how unwise it was to collide head-on with him. The dragon spear tilted toward the ground was slowly raised by Lan Xuanyu. All the dragon roars suddenly ceased. His vertical pupils locked onto Tang Yanxuan. When he was still thirty meters away, he suddenly charged forward.
"I concede," Tang Yanxuan said without hesitation, raising his war hammer. He had seen the shockwave, the shockwave on the tip of Lan Xuanyu's spear. He did not want to experience that deadly shockwave again.
There were still more matches ahead, and the previous ones had gone fairly smoothly. He did not want to be severely wounded in this fight and affect his subsequent matches. Lan Xuanyu retracted his dragon spear mid-air, his body leaping forward and stopping only a meter in front of Tang Yanxuan. The fierce wind gusted, buffeting Tang Yanxuan's body, and that scorching bloodline aura pressed down like a flame.
Through this battle, Lan Xuanyu gained a profound understanding of his current strength. His growing cultivation finally allowed him to stand firm among the younger generation of the Dragon Race and become a strong contender.
The benefits of Dragon Force Tempering were continuously manifesting, and the intensity of the tempering was also steadily increasing. During the fight, he had tried injecting dragon energy into the ground, hoping for feedback from the Rising Dragon Pillar, but received none. Clearly, the dragon energy absorbed on the Rising Dragon Platform was no longer sufficient to help his companions cultivate. However, Lan Xuanyu still had a backup plan. Bai Xiuxiu won again without fighting. With three wins and one loss, her record surpassed even Tang Yanxuan's.
Huang Yuanlang was quite lucky today; he encountered a weaker competitor in his group and won a hard-fought battle after fifteen minutes. With two wins and two losses, his mood had clearly improved. Lan Xuanyu did not pay too much attention to the matches in other groups. The outcome of the fights was one thing, but absorbing dragon energy to cultivate was far more important!
With the fourth round of matches over, the situation in each group became clearer. Those with four wins in four matches demonstrated their strength and were essentially strong contenders for the championship. By defeating Tang Yanxuan, Lan Xuanyu proved his power with his performance and once again became a hot topic. The number of various creatures who liked him was again on the rise. After all, he had been very restrained in these two matches, pulling back at the last moment and not harming his opponents, as if sincerely accepting the criticism from the Dragon Race's higher-ups.
The records of Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu greatly excited Huang Daoqi. He had Huang Yuanlang send another box of Dragon Marrow as encouragement. This made Huang Yuanlang extremely jealous. That was Dragon Marrow! Dragon Marrow helped Lan Xuanyu, but not exceptionally so, due to his unique bloodline.
However, Dragon Marrow was enormously beneficial to Bai Xiuxiu. Her spiritual power was not yet strong enough, so dragon crystals were less suitable for her, but Dragon Marrow was an absolute tonic. Her martial soul had mutated after absorbing Demon Queen as a spirit soul; her bloodline was not purely draconic, and Dragon Marrow helped purify it. Bone marrow was closely tied to the bloodline—marrow produces blood. With the nourishment of Dragon Marrow, her physical condition improved continuously, and her cultivation advanced extremely rapidly. Lan Xuanyu envied her for it.
