SOUL LAND IV (DOULUO DALU) : ULTIMATE FIGHTING

Chapter 1202: Chapter 1202: Avoid Its Sharp Edge

Bai Xiuxiu’s expression changed slightly, saying, “Can they do it or not?”

Lan Xuanyu replied, “I dare not make a final judgment, but there is a high probability that they cannot. The Dragon God was a generation’s God King. Back in the Divine Realm, with his own strength, he fiercely resisted several human God Kings. Although he ultimately perished, his strength could be said to be unmatched in the Divine Realm. The super divine weapon he created is likely what once sustained the existence of the Dragon Realm. How could it be easily broken through? To forcefully destroy it, I’m afraid it would require the power of a God King to do so. These Dragon Knights, despite their strength, are unlikely to possess the level of a God King.”

“Just like Uncle Le once told me, he couldn’t destroy the Heaven Saint Crack Abyss Spear either. To break the surface of the Ascending Dragon Pillar, perhaps the Heaven Saint Crack Abyss Spear might have a slight chance, but I would need to grow to the Super God Level first. Of course, why would I destroy a super divine weapon that acknowledges me? Therefore, I estimate that the Dragon Knights will most likely be wasting their efforts.”

Bai Xiuxiu let out a sigh of relief, saying, “That’s good to hear. The Ascending Dragon Platform is placed here and is bound to be yours eventually; we can’t let those Dragon Knights absorb it. They are already strong enough. If they get stronger, I worry they will turn against our federation.”

Lan Xuanyu nodded slightly, then suddenly his expression changed, saying, “Quick, go and tell Huang Yuanlang to prepare the Dragon Chariot; we’re leaving right away. Head back to Fenglong City. Tell him I have awakened.”

“Back to Fenglong City? Right now? Your injuries haven’t healed yet. Why the rush?” Bai Xiuxiu asked in surprise.

Lan Xuanyu said, “There’s no time to explain now. I’ll tell you on the way; you go and get him to prepare first.”

“Okay.” Bai Xiuxiu naturally had absolute trust in Lan Xuanyu’s judgment. Without delay, she immediately went to relay the message to Huang Yuanlang.

Although Huang Yuanlang did not understand the situation, Lan was now a Dragon Leader, an existence admired by all in the Dragon Clan. Without hesitation, he quickly summoned the Dragon Chariot, letting Bai Xiuxiu and Lan Xuanyu board first, and he followed suit. They left Ascending Dragon City swiftly and headed back to Fenglong City.

On the Dragon Chariot, Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu were alone in one of the rooms. Feeling the distance from Ascending Dragon City growing further, Lan Xuanyu’s expression relaxed slightly.

Bai Xiuxiu sent a voice transmission, asking, “Can you tell me now? Why did we leave so suddenly?”

Lan Xuanyu replied, “To avoid sharp edges. Today I defeated Qi Tianlong, which is tantamount to winning the wager. The bet was made in front of all high-ranking members of the Dragon Clan. My victory is like a slap in the face of the Sky Dragon Leader. He was full of confidence, thinking his disciple would definitely win, which is why he provoked Qi Tianlong to agree to the bet. But unexpectedly, he lost. Given Qi Tianlong’s level of cultivation, he was obviously someone the Sky Dragon Leader had put much effort into training, and he had great talent as well. How could the Sky Dragon Leader be in a good mood? From your description of his reaction, it was evident that he was extremely angry at the time. He was just constrained by the presence of the other Dragon Knights, forcing him to acknowledge me as the Dragon Leader.”

“After that, they must have been looking to take some action regarding the Ascending Dragon Platform. If they could gain anything, it would naturally improve his mood. But as I told you before, the chance of them gaining anything is very slim. So, in this scenario, can you imagine how furious the Sky Dragon Leader must be? Overcome with rage, he will undoubtedly seek to vent it, and we are likely to become the target of his wrath. By leaving immediately and returning to Fenglong City, if he can’t find us or anyone from the Imperial family, he will direct his anger elsewhere. For a short time, it’s best for us to avoid the limelight and lie low. We can’t show ourselves again.”

Bai Xiuxiu finally understood and hesitated, saying, “He is the Sky Dragon Leader, arguably the first among the Dragon Horse Star System; is he really so petty?”

Lan Xuanyu said, “One can perceive the inherent nature from small signs, and his treatment of Qi Tianlong shows his cold and indifferent character. Moreover, his status as the top figure in the Dragon Horse Star System is based on strength, not virtue. We don’t need to expose ourselves to him and take that gamble. Just avoid him. With Moke Dragon Knight Luo Lan backing us, I believe he wouldn’t dare go too far. My standout performance in this Ascending Dragon Competition will surely draw the attention of the Dragon Clan. For now, I’ll bide my time; eventually, someone will remember us. It’s also a good opportunity to stay low key. And besides, my Dragon Power Hall would be best built within Fenglong City. It would allow us to cultivate steadily and reap benefits. Having this Dragon Power Hall will be immeasurably beneficial to you and me, as well as our companions, in the future.”

Bai Xiuxiu said, “What about our trip to the Dragon Realm? Are we still going?”

Lan Xuanyu replied without hesitation, “Not for now. When we get back, I will ask Huang Daoqi to submit a report to the Alliance’s higher-ups, stating that my injuries are severe and require a long recovery period. When my injuries are healed, I’ll report back to the Alliance and then request a visit to the Dragon Realm.”

Bai Xiuxiu smiled and said, “Now you’re in no hurry.”

Lan Xuanyu smiled lightly and said, “Everything is in flux. My eagerness for the Dragon Realm was in hope of gaining the benefits left by the Dragon God. Now, it seems that the Ascending Dragon Pillar likely holds most of those benefits. Since I can now draw Dragon Power from the Ascending Dragon Pillar, I just need to look for opportunities to harness it. The urgency to visit the Dragon Realm has lessened. Moreover, with the title of Dragon Leader and a high-level Dragon Power Hall specifically made for me, we have enough resources for cultivation. Whether we visit the Dragon Realm is even less significant now. It also saves us from needing to carefully deal with the dragon knights there.”

Bai Xiuxiu suddenly said, “It’s because of me, isn’t it? You promised that I could go with you, but you’re worried it would be dangerous, and that’s why you’re choosing not to go, right?”

Lan Xuanyu chuckled and said, “Yo, yo, yo, our Xiuxiu isn’t just a naive sweetie anymore.”

“Who are you calling a naive sweetie?” Bai Xiuxiu’s eyes brimmed with “murderous intent.”

“I was wrong, my dear wife, please forgive me,” Lan Xuanyu immediately feigned a pitiful look.

Looking at his expression, she said, “Look at you, do you still resemble a Golden Dragon Princess? Speaking of which, what if you lose? Are you really going to marry Qi Tianlong? Heh heh heh.”

Lan Xuanyu’s face stiffened, “So, you’re saying that I could lose? Originally, since we weren’t planning to go to the Dragon Realm, I thought it wouldn’t matter much if I lost. It’s just that I really would hate to give up the Dragon Power Hall. But this guy had to push me. He wants to marry me? I’d like to see if I don’t take him down.”

Bai Xiuxiu laughed heartily at his clenched teeth, and after quite a while, she said, “Speaking of which, Qi Tianlong is quite pitiful. Just like that, he was abandoned by the Sky Dragon Leader. After using that method that clearly burned his essence in battle, the probability of him surviving is probably not high, right? What a pity. He truly was powerful. I have never seen anyone who could control fire elements to such an extreme level. Even your Elemental stripping was of no use against him.”

Lan Xuanyu shook his head and said, “I don’t think he will necessarily die. To be so highly regarded by the Sky Dragon Leader, and possessing such formidable strength himself, his foundation is extremely deep. Even though he has significantly overspent his energy, I don’t think it’s to the extent that there’s no room for maneuvering. However, recovering his Cultivation will be very difficult. Unless there is another qualitative change in his bloodline, it would be almost impossible. The Sky Dragon Leader has already given up on him, so the chance is even smaller.”

The Dragon Chariot flew back to Fenglong City, all in simple arrangements as per Lan Xuanyu’s request, and they returned to their residence apologetically. When they got back, Huang Daoqi had already returned, even departing before them.

What does it mean to be cunning and shrewd? This was it. He also feared the wrath of the Sky Dragon Leader! In his view, Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu were sure to be champions, and even if the Sky Dragon Leader were angry, it would not be appropriate to target “them” directly. But for himself, as the Lord of Fenglong City, that was a different matter! It was wiser to leave early.
