Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

Chapter 1076: Chapter 1076 Hello, Miss Lan
 

Moved by a sudden sensation, Huang Daoqi stood by the bedside and looked out. His gaze couldn’t help but become stagnant when he saw the golden dragon behind Huang Yuan Lang.

In his view, even an ordinary high-ranking member of the Dragon Clan would be a great addition to Fenglong City. But could the one before him be just an ordinary high-ranking member? Those shining golden scales were practically blinding. He had seen similar giant dragons before; dragons like this one, radiating a golden aura, usually had an extremely pure dragon bloodline and a high transformation rate during their dragon transformation process. Moreover, its huge size indicated a cultivation that was even above Xiuxiu’s.

He had truly stumbled upon a treasure! No, he must secure him for his family at all costs, and ensure total control.

From the very first glimpse of Lan Xuanyu in his Golden Dragon King form, Huang Daoqi had made up his mind.

The three of them landed in the open space outside, and the surrounding servants had already bent deeply at the waist, bowing to them.

Returning to his human form, his strength seemed to retract back into his body like something intrinsic. The Bloodline Whirlpool circulated, stabilizing the Golden Dragon King bloodline that had intensified earlier, making his own Bloodline Whirlpool more balanced.

His recent display of the Martial Soul True Body had given Lan Xuanyu an odd feeling in his heart.

He felt his own strength. Yes, strength.

Ever since he came to the Dragon Horse Galaxy, especially since he knew there were many God-level strong in the Dragon Horse Star system, he had always felt that he was too weak compared to everyone here. Simply put, he couldn’t survive here through combat.

But just now, when he spread his wings and flew in the form of the Golden Dragon King, he had an entirely different sensation.

He had always been keenly aware of Huang Yuan Lang’s cultivation, which should be at the level of a Titled Douluo. Yet just now, he clearly felt as though he could trample Huang Yuan Lang underfoot.

This couldn’t be an illusion, not for a strong individual of his level. Especially after his Spiritual Power broke through to the Spirit Domain Realm, his senses were very sharp. If an enemy was extremely strong, the first thing he would feel was danger.

But with Huang Yuan Lang, he didn’t feel that at all. He simply felt that, if he deployed the Golden Dragon King real body and wanted to deal with Huang Yuan Lang, he could completely kill his opponent.

This must also be due to the advantage of being on Sky Dragon Planet, where the strongest were those with dragon bloodlines, and his own Dual Dragon King’s aura had a significant suppressive effect on dragon bloodlines.

Huang Daoqi went to meet them at the entrance of the City Lord Manor. Huang Yuan Lang quickly approached his father, nodded vigorously to him, unable to hide the excitement in his eyes, even looking as if he had more to say.

Huang Daoqi couldn’t help but be surprised; aside from his son’s lack of talent in cultivation, he was satisfied with him in other aspects, especially in terms of composure, and it was rare to see him like this. Clearly, this was brought about by the new high-ranking member of the Dragon Clan.

“Father, let me introduce you, this is Lan, Xiuxiu’s older sister,” Huang Yuan Lang steadied himself and introduced to Huang Daoqi.

Huang Daoqi looked at Lan Xuanyu with a smile, nodded to him, and said, “Hello, Miss Lan, I am Huang Daoqi, the Lord of Fenglong City.”

Lan Xuanyu stepped forward, nodded slightly in greeting, “Hello, I am sorry for revealing my identity only now. In fact, I accompanied Xiuxiu here before. Back then, I was not quite assured.” He deliberately altered his voice as he spoke, cold with a hint of depth and huskiness.

Purely from the perspective of the voice, it was certainly not as pleasant as Bai Xiuxiu’s. However, for some reason, it sounded magnetic to Huang Yuan Lang’s ears, and he was almost eager to hear her speak more.

Huang Daoqi smiled slightly and said, “It’s normal to feel reverence towards unfamiliar things. Please come in.” With that, he made a welcoming gesture, inviting Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu inside.

As they entered the City Lord Manor together, Lan Xuanyu was emotionally restrained, keeping his aura concealed as much as possible.

Yet what gave him the feeling of thorns in his back was Huang Yuanlang’s gaze, which he constantly felt on him without any attempt to hide, a gaze so intense he could clearly sense it.

It wasn’t just Lan Xuanyu who noticed; even Bai Xiuxiu beside him could feel that Huang Yuanlang’s look towards Lan Xuanyu was different. For a moment, she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He couldn’t possibly have fallen for Xuanyu, could he?

This seemed…well, troublesome! Bai Xiuxiu felt a little jealous. This was her man, after all. It would be one thing if he were snatched away by a woman, but a man? How would she even make sense of that?

Everyone held their own thoughts, and in such a state, the four of them arrived at Huang Daoqi’s study.

“Please, take a seat,” Huang Daoqi gestured, as servants brought over Dragon Blood Tree Juice.

Looking at the bright red sap, Lan Xuanyu understood that his evaluation had begun from this moment.

He feigned a thirst and took a sip of the Dragon Blood Tree Juice. Instantly, a warm current flowed down his throat and into his body. However, his reaction was clearly not as intense as Bai Xiuxiu’s—just a warmth throughout his body and then nothing more. The Bloodline Whirlpool in his body only trembled slightly.

Seeing him drink the Dragon Blood Tree Juice expressionlessly, Huang Daoqi couldn’t help but feel a slight shift in his heart. Although he didn’t know how Lan Xuanyu felt, it was clear from his demeanor that the juice didn’t affect him much.

The Dragon Blood Tree Juice was indeed precious, but Huang Daoqi knew that for the truly powerful among the Dragon Clan, the juice, which was supposed to enhance the bloodline aura and strengthen the transformation effects, didn’t have as pronounced an impact. Of course, this was also true for those with a diluted dragon bloodline, whose response wouldn’t be too pronounced—just like he and his son, who had drank untold amounts without any significant increase in their bloodline power.

“Miss Lan, I hear from Xiuxiu that you excel in strength,” Huang Daoqi got straight to the point.

Lan Xuanyu nodded, not saying a word. Speaking as little as possible was for the best.

Huang Daoqi smiled and said, “If you’re willing to join our Imperial family, we’d welcome you with open arms. However, before that, we might need to trouble you with one thing.”

This time, Lan Xuanyu couldn’t remain silent, he responded concisely, “Please, go on.”

“Since we need to assess your strength, you may need to visit the Dragon Power Hall. Xiuxiu should have already told you about it, I assume,” Huang Daoqi said, watching Lan Xuanyu’s eyes closely.

“Sure, that’s possible. I was indeed attracted by the Dragon Power Hall. After Xiuxiu gained Dragon Power there, her strength evolved significantly. I also wish to evolve my strength, which is why I hope to join the Imperial family,” Lan Xuanyu spoke frankly, without any attempt to disguise his purpose.

“That’s great. Miss Lan, would you like to rest a bit more?” Huang Daoqi asked.

Lan Xuanyu stood up straight away, “No need. I am ready now.”

He understood why Huang Daoqi would send him directly to the Dragon Power Hall to try and absorb Dragon Power. Evidently, it was because of the curse in Xiuxiu’s body—Huang Daoqi had clearly taken an interest in him. But before joining the Imperial family, one was to further confirm his identity and talent. Most importantly, to impose the curse onto his own body as well, ensuring that he could truly be controlled by them.

And entering the Dragon Power Hall to absorb Dragon Power was also one of Lan Xuanyu’s main goals after disguising himself! Naturally, he would agree. Their objectives aligned perfectly, even more swiftly than Lan Xuanyu had anticipated.

Returning to the Dragon Power Hall, this time it was Bai Xiuxiu who was nervous. Lan Xuanyu was still in disguise, and she could not predict what kind of changes might occur during the absorption of Dragon Power.@@novelbin@@
