SOUL LAND IV (DOULUO DALU) : ULTIMATE FIGHTING

Chapter 1118: Chapter 1118: Your Highness the Respected Golden Dragon Princess

Ascending Dragon’s rise to fame—Lan’s name had spread across the Sky Dragon Planet within just a single day, acclaimed as a new generation of emerging talent. And due to the mysterious circumstances surrounding him, this mystery only added to the curiosity of all races on Sky Dragon Planet.

At this moment, when Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu arrived, the live screens of major cities were almost instantly focused on him.

To fly to ascend was one thing, but to fight was another. Of course, no one would doubt Lan Xuanyu’s strength; after all, he was the leader of the Ascending Dragons.

Under Huang Yuanlang’s lead, Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu made their way directly to the area reserved for the upper-rank Dragon Clan. This was an exclusive area for the upper-rank Dragon Clan, with priority in the queues.

What surprised Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu a bit was that no other upper-rank Dragon Clans had arrived yet.

Without waiting for their questions, Huang Yuanlang had already explained, “Generally, the lower and mid-rank Dragon Clans are required to arrive at the Ascending Dragon Platform first to wait for the competition. We, the upper-rank Dragon Clan, don’t have such a requirement. These guys will deliberately arrive a bit later, out of pride. They also like to leave the opponents waiting. We came early today to finish earlier and go back to rest, avoiding the queue with other upper-rank clans. I’ll go first. Lan, Xiuxiu, you two follow.”

“Okay,” Lan Xuanyu nodded.

An elder stood at the entrance, and when he saw Huang Yuanlang approaching, his gaze moved past him, landing directly on Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu.

“Hello, we are from the Fenglong Royal City,” Huang Yuanlang respectfully handed over his plaque.

However, the elder waved him off, saying, “The leader of the Ascending Dragons has arrived, first priority, you wait behind. Dragon Head, please, come forward.” His gaze intensified on Lan Xuanyu, and his words carried more respect.

Huang Yuanlang’s mouth twitched, but he dared not act rashly. The elder, able to govern the competitions on the Ascending Dragon Platform, was not only a senior among the upper-rank Dragon Clan but also necessarily a God Rank, or even a True God-level powerhouse.

Lan Xuanyu bowed slightly, not shying away from responsibility, patted Huang Yuanlang on the shoulder to comfort him, then strode into the arena. Guided by the elder, he arrived at the very center of the field.

“Oooong—” A dragon roar came from somewhere, and instantly, the gathered dragons looking at Lan Xuanyu let out deafening roars in unison.

Their dragon roars were filled with excitement and eagerness. Amidst the vast chorus of roars from the encircling dragons, Lan Xuanyu felt the Dragon Core in his chest suddenly heat up. Even the bloodline power within him brightened in an instant.

In that instant, his spirit entered a fleeting trance. The magnificent sight of the colossal nine-colored Giant Dragon surrounded by throngs of dragons emerged in his mind. His aura surged momentarily, and if he hadn’t suppressed it in time, he might have even unleashed the Dragon God Transformation.

Even so, the bloodline aura within him burst out fiercely, and he couldn’t help but let out a dragon roar to the skies.

His own dragon roar, in terms of volume, certainly couldn’t drown out the ones of the gathered dragons. But somehow, when his roar sounded, the roars of all mid and lower-rank Dragon Clans on the spot naturally weakened, even gradually turning to low growls. However, Lan Xuanyu’s roar rolled like thunder, echoing throughout the Ascending Dragon Platform.

A scorching breath came from below his feet, causing Lan Xuanyu’s body to stiffen. In that moment, he felt as if his body was pierced by that searing heat. An extremely familiar sensation washed over him. But just as he was about to grasp it, the dragon roar subsided. The scorching heat from below disappeared as well.

Though this only happened within a very brief moment, Lan Xuanyu immediately realized what had occurred.

The Ascending Dragon Platform, or rather, the Ascending Dragon Pillar. That was feedback from the Ascending Dragon Pillar. At last, he felt it.

Under the circumstance of being surrounded by the gathered dragons just now, his Dragon God’s bloodline was stimulated as if returning to the most glorious times of the Dragon Clan. The Ascending Dragon Pillar sensed his aura and thus gave feedback.

Although it was only for a moment, Lan Xuanyu felt as if he had achieved a moment of clarity. His spirit, essence, and energy instantly reached their peak. Without a doubt, fighting on the Ascending Dragon Platform was akin to fighting on his home turf, allowing him to unleash the strongest aspects of his abilities.

Just then, a brownish dragon of the Lower-rank Dragon Clan entered the arena slowly. With a body length of over thirty meters, it was undoubtedly massive compared to others of its rank. Its success in ascending indicated that it was not weak among the lower-rank dragons.

However, its pace as it moved forward was somewhat slow, its gaze fixated on Lan Xuanyu as it stepped into the battleground. As their eyes met, the Divine Dragon Armor in golden hue instantly manifested over Lan Xuanyu’s body, encasing him completely. A surge of great strength pulsed through him. His pupils became vertical, and he began to draw his aura inwards.

Despite facing a lower-rank dragon, he did not dare to be careless. The strength of this lower-rank dragon was not to be underestimated. Moreover, he was eager to see just how much of an advantage the Divine Dragon Armor could give him in actual combat.

Finally, the brownish dragon stepped into the central area of the arena.

Golden light surged around Lan Xuanyu, he was just waiting for the signal to start the battle.

At this moment, the fights in the other areas had already paused, and all eyes were on this battleground.

Unexpectedly, Lan Xuanyu encountered a situation he hadn’t anticipated.

The brownish lower-rank dragon suddenly prostrated itself on the ground, its dragon tail drooping in deference, and respectfully said, “Honored Golden Dragon Princess, I admit defeat. I, Yan Cheng, am willing to become Your servant and follow You forever. Wherever You are, I shall be there. Your will is my lifelong direction.”

Lan Xuanyu was stunned. What was this? Surrender and loyalty?

For a moment, he looked somewhat bewilderedly toward the elder who had guided him into the arena.

The elder nodded and said, “Xuanyu, you’ve won. Do you wish to accept its loyalty?”

Lan Xuanyu, still puzzled, looked at the elder and asked, “What will happen if I accept its loyalty? And what if I don’t?”

The elder spoke gravely, “If you accept, it will sign a master-servant contract with you, and from then on, it will be your most faithful servant. Your spirit brand will be imprinted in its mind. If it ever betrays you, a single thought from you will be able to obliterate it. However, it will also be influenced by your bloodline aura, and the purity and strength of your bloodline will aid its future cultivation. If you refuse, it will be forever excluded from the Ascending Dragon competition, never to ascend, remaining a lower-rank.”

Lan Xuanyu scrutinized the brownish lower-rank dragon closely, his eyes narrowing slightly. Although it was a lower-rank dragon, its physical form and strength were very similar to a true dragon’s.

Being a lower-rank dragon, it was a world apart from the one he had killed during his first Dragon Hunt. This one was clearly geared for combat among its rank.

Its broad back displayed exceptionally thick scales, and while its belly lacked scales, there were lines resembling the pattern of scales appearing. It seemed to bear signs of evolving into a mid-rank dragon.

To accept or not to accept.

The elder reminded, “It is quite common for higher-rank dragons to take lower ones as servants. In the future, if you establish your own clan, the dragon with a master-servant contract will be your faithful follower. Being capable of ascending shows it has potential.”

This was tantamount to a veiled recommendation. The brownish Giant Dragon, Yan Cheng, looked up at the elder, its vast eyes brimming with gratitude.

“Alright, then please preside over the master-servant contract for us. I don’t know how to establish one,” Lan Xuanyu decided on the spot without further hesitation.

He wasn’t coveting another lower-rank dragon to serve as his underling. It was just that under the current circumstances, refusing would seem unreasonable. Besides, the elder was a God Rank dragon powerhouse; agreeing now would make him less susceptible to suspicion.
