Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

Chapter 1077: Chapter 1077: Lan Xuanyu Absorbs Dragon Power
 

He subconsciously looked towards Lan Xuanyu. Lan Xuanyu wasn’t looking at her, but he could feel her gaze. It was just that Huang Daoqi and his son’s attention was all on him at the moment, and he couldn’t show too much to Bai Xiuxiu right now.

A faint smile appeared on his face as Huang Daoqi said, “The situation in the Dragon Power Hall is quite special. I believe Xiuxiu has already told you about the infusion of Dragon Power. However, I still need to remind you to not be impatient during the absorption process. You must progress in an orderly fashion, especially based on your body’s ability to withstand. You must not overdo it, or else there will be a risk to your life.”

“Thank you for the reminder. I understand,” Lan Xuanyu nodded to Huang Daoqi.

In Huang Daoqi’s eyes, although Lan Xuanyu’s cultivation was clearly stronger than Bai Xiuxiu’s, he didn’t believe that Lan Xuanyu’s talent surpassed Bai Xiuxiu. He valued Bai Xiuxiu more because she was an extremely rare dual-attribute member of the Dragon Clan with enormous potential. This was also the reason why he recognized Bai Xiuxiu as his daughter. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he would never employ the dragon bloodline shackles inside her. Instead, he preferred to gain Bai Xiuxiu’s recognition through harmonious means, which would bring even greater benefits to the Imperial family.

How strong Lan Xuanyu was would be revealed through the absorption of Dragon Power in the Dragon Power Hall. This was always the most effective method for the Dragon Clan to test potential. The level of potential could be determined by the amount of Dragon Power absorbed. In Bai Xiuxiu’s case, being able to absorb all the Dragon Power on her first attempt was truly unparalleled.

Entering the Dragon Power Hall, feeling the peculiar fluctuations of the magical patterns around him, Lan Xuanyu felt as if he had entered another world. The magical patterns flowed on the walls, ceiling, and floor. Having already mastered control of the space elements, he could clearly feel the intense space elemental waves encapsulated therein.

Although he did not know where these space elements were directed, he could guess; it was probably that space. The space that had once called out to him.

Now, he, of course, did not have the qualifications to go to that place, but through the absorption of Dragon Power here, he certainly had the chance to understand more about it. This was what Lan Xuanyu was most looking forward to.

“Father, do I need to step out?” Bai Xiuxiu asked Huang Daoqi.

Huang Daoqi shook his head and said, “No need. Just don’t actively draw in the Dragon Power later; you and Yuan Lang can retreat to the side of the wall.”

“Yes,” Bai Xiuxiu quickly agreed, moving to the side. Of course, she didn’t want to leave. She wanted to watch the changes in Lan Xuanyu’s aura up close. If something truly went wrong, she could provide timely assistance.@@novelbin@@

“Walk to the center,” Huang Daoqi said to Lan Xuanyu.

Lan Xuanyu slowly walked to the center of the Dragon Power Hall, closed his eyes, and silently sensed all the energy changes around him. Relying on his own memory, he tried hard to memorize the magical patterns around him.

As spiritual power increased, a person’s memory would also improve significantly. But the magical patterns here were too complex to be memorized in one or two tries. What’s more, he did not know what sort of fluctuations using these magical patterns would create. However, familiarizing himself with the magical patterns and recording them would definitely help with future research on humans’ soul-guiding core magic arrays.

Moreover, he had a bold idea: that peculiar space was not fully integrated into the Sky Dragon Planet. It was merely intersecting with it. Only the Dragon Clan had a way of entering it.

So, if he mastered this method, could he also open this channel to enter from outer space, or from within a warship? This was Lan Xuanyu’s most important purpose in recording the magical patterns.

All of these thoughts still seemed like wishful thinking for now, but he could prepare for them in anticipation.

“Be alert, it’s about to start,” Huang Daoqi said in a solemn tone. His gaze was fixed on Lan Xuanyu, carefully observing every change in him.

How to treat Lan Xuanyu would depend on his reaction to the Dragon Power this time. Unlike Bai Xiuxiu, who had a dual attribute, as soon as they discovered her dual attribute, Huang Yuanlang and his son had already made up their minds to win her over. As for Pure Power Lan, the approach to take would depend on her own performance.

Huang Yuanlang was actually as nervous as Bai Xiuxiu, but unlike her, he prayed inwardly not to absorb too much. He hoped that Lan Xuanyu could absorb the Dragon Power, but not too much of it.

The feeling of love at first sight was burning hot within him; if Lan Xuanyu’s talent were also outstanding, then without a doubt, it would affect his subsequent pursuits. If Lan Xuanyu turned out to be mediocre, then everything would be much easier.

A faint glow began to emanate from the huge Crystal Stone atop the Dragon Power Hall, activated by Huang Daoqi. Soft Dragon Power began to pour down from the sky.

Lan Xuanyu’s body shuddered, and he suddenly felt as if a channel had opened up in that instant, starting from the Crystal Stone at the top of the Dragon Power Hall. Without any effort on his part, the soft Dragon Power was already cascading toward him, falling upon him.

The Crystal Stone began to brighten, and an increasingly strong Dragon Power surged out, causing the entire Dragon Power Hall to shake violently.

Lan Xuanyu squinted his eyes; he did not reveal his Self Body like Bai Xiuxiu had done immediately. His black hair flew about behind him as his body, like a whirlpool, absorbed the Dragon Power.

Strangely, when this Dragon Power entered his body, it disappeared without a trace, like a stone sinking into the ocean. Lan Xuanyu indeed felt some changes in his Bloodline Whirlpool after absorbing some of the Dragon Power, but these changes were not intense. They were far less significant than the effects Bai Xiuxiu had experienced during her absorption.

Why was this happening? Lan Xuanyu’s brows furrowed slightly, and he immediately increased the speed at which he absorbed the Dragon Power.

The Bloodline Whirlpool began to spin rapidly, absorbing the Dragon Power like the seas gather to the streams; but the speed at which his Bloodline Whirlpool devoured the power was even faster than the speed at which the Dragon Power arrived. Although there was an improvement, the extent was not significant. It was even less effective than when he absorbed the life energy from the Eternal Tree’s life source.

Lan Xuanyu became somewhat disappointed. He had pinned his hopes on absorbing the Dragon Power here to help him break through the seven rings as soon as possible! But now, it seemed that while there was indeed an effect from absorbing the Dragon Power in the Dragon Power Hall, it was not particularly potent. And since their absorption of Dragon Power here was under the surveillance of the Imperial father and son, it was clear they could not do this frequently.

Why was it so?

Lan Xuanyu concentrated his spiritual power, probing towards the huge Crystal Stone in the sky. Gradually, he began to understand.

This massive Crystal Stone seemed to act as a filter. Yes, it filtered the Dragon Power before transmitting it into the Dragon Power Hall for the Dragon Clan to digest and absorb. During this filtering process, it seemed a lot of things were blocked on the other side or, rather, on the other side of the channel that connected to that space. Only a portion of the Dragon Power could enter the Dragon Power Hall to be absorbed by the body.

The reason these Dragon Powers did not have a significant effect on him was not that their energy was not vast. It was a matter of levels—of the levels within dragon bloodlines.

With his own bloodlines of two Dragon Kings and a certain degree of integration into the Dragon God’s bloodline, this level of Dragon Power could hardly supplement his own bloodlines. The levels were not high enough; upon entering his body, they were effortlessly dissolved by the power of his own bloodline. In this aspect, even the powerful life energy from the Sky Dragon Planet was more effective for him.

But, was the Dragon Power from that space really ineffective for him? No, it should not be. Otherwise, he would not have felt that intimate calling last time on the Sky Dragon Planet. There must be something very important for him within that space.

Wishing everyone a happy weekend.
