Chapter 1078: Chapter 1078: Judgment of the Moke Dragon Knight
 

After passing through the channel and the filtration process, the level of Dragon Power had been limited. The Dragon Power he could absorb now was not as effective as it might have been. But what if it wasn’t filtered? Wouldn’t the Dragon Power contribute more to his replenishment? It should be possible, but to what extent he could achieve that, he couldn’t judge without trying it first.

The reason for this setup was probably because the Dragon Clan on Sky Dragon Planet couldn’t directly absorb Dragon Power; absorbing too much Dragon Power at once could render their bodies incapable of enduring it or cause mutations. The Dragon Transformation incidents of the past were likely caused by an overload of Dragon Power. Many species probably couldn’t withstand the sudden change and died.

At the time, he had also sensed danger when he felt the presence of that Space. This suggested that the powerful members of the Sky Dragon Clan and the Dragon Clan cultivated there. In other words, when their Cultivation reached a certain level, they would enter that Space to cultivate, rather than cultivating in the Dragon Power Hall, because the level of Dragon Power in the Hall no longer met their requirements.

That must be it. Lan Xuanyu had now fully understood. Although his heart was somewhat depressed for not achieving his goal, he had gained a better understanding of that Space.

The reason why Bai Xiuxiu had such a positive effect from her first absorption of Dragon Power was probably because the fusion between her and the Demon Queen wasn’t entirely complete; they utilized the pure Dragon Power to merge. The next time she absorbed Dragon Power, the result would definitely not be as good as the first time. So, he still needed to find a way to enter that Space.

Just then, a voice suddenly reached his ears.

“Sister, how are you?” The voice belonged to Bai Xiuxiu. Lan Xuanyu was startled awake and opened his eyes.

To his surprise, both Bai Xiuxiu and the father-son duo of Huang Daoqi and Huang Yuanlang were staring at him agape.

He couldn’t help but also look down at his own body, finding no changes at all! His disguise as a woman hadn’t been undone.

“Why are you all looking at me?” Lan Xuanyu asked them curiously.

Huang Yuanlang swallowed hard, “Miss Lan, do you feel any discomfort?”

Lan Xuanyu shook his head, “No, I don’t feel anything special. It seems like the Dragon Power isn’t very effective on me. I haven’t improved much. Not as much as Xiuxiu has.” As he spoke, his face couldn’t help but show a hint of regret.

Huang Daoqi said with an odd expression, “But you’ve already absorbed all of the Dragon Power. None of it overflowed.”

“Ah? Is it over?” Lan Xuanyu asked in surprise, looking at him. He had been absorbed in his thoughts while continuously absorbing Dragon Power. Unbeknownst to him, the Dragon Power in the Dragon Power Hall had already dissipated.

Huang Daoqi’s mouth twitched slightly. He could feel that the Dragon Clan chains were already inside Lan Xuanyu’s body. But indeed, the Dragon Power didn’t seem to have much effect on him. He had never seen such a situation before.

Even when absorbing a small amount of Dragon Power, Huang Yuanlang always reaped some benefits after the event, although it took a long time to digest.

For ordinary species, if they were to absorb Dragon Power here, what would likely remain would be screams of pain. Even for the Dragon Clan members, at the very least, they would have to revert to their true form.

But for Lan Xuanyu, it seemed as though nothing had happened at all. This was too peculiar, and he had never heard of such a case before.

For his part, Lan Xuanyu pretended to be utterly clueless, with an expression that said, “If you don’t know, then I’m even more in the dark.”

After a moment of silence, Huang Daoqi nodded, “Let’s leave it at this for now. Let’s go outside.”

Leaving the Dragon Power Hall, Huang Daoqi let Huang Yuanlang first take Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu to the side hall to rest while he returned to his study.

Before long, Huang Yuanlang also arrived at the study, asking his father with some urgency, “Father, what’s going on? Why does Miss Lan seem insensitive to Dragon Power? Isn’t Dragon Power touted as the most powerful energy? Every species should feel it.”

“If she’s not sensitive to it, doesn’t it mean that Miss Lan’s bloodline is actually not that strong? As a member of the Dragon Clan, her innate talent should be quite far from Xiuxiu’s. We should still keep her here. After all, she is from a superior Dragon Clan. I can feel that her strength is not weak,” said Huang Yuanlang anxiously. He was now somewhat worried that his father would expel Lan Xuanyu due to her lack of talent.

Huang Daoqi shook his head and said, “No, it’s not like that. Just now, I spoke with the Moke Dragon Knight. Perhaps, I already know why this is happening.”

“Ah? Why?” Huang Yuanlang’s heart tightened the moment he heard mention of the Moke Dragon Knight.

Huang Daoqi explained, “The Moke Dragon Knight told me that if he were in the Dragon Power Hall, or if his Mount Dragon were there, not even a bit of Dragon Power would be absorbed because that Dragon Power would be too diluted for him. He confidently told me that if the absorption effect of the Dragon Power Hall’s Dragon Power is poor, there is only one explanation: the level of the absorber’s bloodline has already surpassed that of the diluted Dragon Power provided by the Dragon Power Hall. That’s why it would not have any effect.”

Huang Yuanlang stared blankly at his father, “You mean to say that Miss Lan’s bloodline level has surpassed our Dragon Power Hall? How is that possible? Even you are affected by it!”

Huang Daoqi responded with a bitter smile, “I’m also not sure what to do. Perhaps we’ve stumbled upon a treasure. That is, if she truly is from the Wild Dragon Clan. The Moke Dragon Knight told us to keep this strictly confidential and to keep the person here. He will come personally to take a look at Miss Lan himself.”

Huang Yuanlang swallowed hard, “The Moke Dragon Knight is coming here himself. Can we still keep Miss Lan?”

Huang Daoqi responded with a bitter smile, “I’m not sure. But at least we still have Xiuxiu. Besides, the Moke Dragon Knight does not belong to any family, and he has always protected us. We have also always provided resources to honor him. To him, our Imperial family is still useful. Moreover, I can tell he is excited about Miss Lan’s situation. I don’t know what he’s thinking. Everything will have to wait until he arrives.”

Huang Yuanlang said somewhat dejectedly, “So what do we do now?”

Huang Daoqi’s eyes narrowed slightly, “First, create an identity proof for Miss Lan and have her join our family. But I can’t recognize her as my daughter for now. We’ll have to wait until the Moke Dragon Knight arrives. Let’s go meet her.”

“Right,” replied Huang Yuanlang, lowering his head.

Huang Daoqi frowned slightly, “Do you have designs on Miss Lan?” He could tell what his son was thinking.@@novelbin@@

Huang Yuanlang became somewhat flustered and said, “She is very beautiful, and she…”

“Enough. I don’t want to hear the same thing again. If the Moke Dragon Knight takes an interest in her, you’d best not show any signs,” said Huang Daoqi coldly.

“Yes,” Huang Yuanlang quickly nodded, not daring to go against his father’s will.

Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu sat opposite each other in the side hall, exchanging glances. Bai Xiuxiu sent an inquiring look his way.

Lan Xuanyu gave a wry smile and shrugged his shoulders, conveying his earlier sensations through a telepathic message.

“Insufficient level?” Bai Xiuxiu frowned slightly, “Then what do we do? Can only that Space help you?”

Lan Xuanyu nodded and said, “The Sky Dragon Planet should already have thoroughly developed that Space. The fact that they can freely manipulate these Dragon Powers and filter them for the weaker clan members to absorb proves this. But to enter that Space, a higher status is likely required. We’ve just arrived; there’s nothing we can do now. We can’t take risks with this. Let’s plan it slowly; we should first secure our footing before anything else. If the Imperial family deems me useless, then I’ll just fade into the background, focusing on you as a priority. They still value you greatly. If the Dragon Power Hall has no effect on me, I’ll just look for more life energy to cultivate.”
