Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

Chapter 1130: Chapter 1130: You, don’t come in…

Overall, the contract was comprehensive and covered everything. It was essentially akin to selling oneself to the royal family, although it came with many rights. By having a high status within the family and signing a millennium contract, one naturally became an elder of the family with a say in Fenglong City comparable to that of the City Lord.

After reviewing the contract, Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu felt no psychological pressure at all. The fundamental basis of this contract was built on the premise that they truly belonged to the Dragon Clan of Sky Dragon Planet and were bound to live here in the future!

Moreover, they were not afraid of being despised by all Dragon Clan members and becoming traitors since they had initially infiltrated the clan.

Upon Huang Yuanlang’s suggestion, they each used a drop of their blood to sign the contract.

No curse emerged; on the contrary, when their blood merged with the contract, the curse that had been planted in their bodies at the Dragon Power Hall quietly disappeared. Clearly, with the millennium contract in place, the initial curse was rendered meaningless and was quietly withdrawn.

Lan Xuanyu wasn’t concerned about the curse, just as he wasn’t worried about signing the millennium contract. The fundamental laws of the Dragon Clan prioritized bloodline above all. His power was not yet significant to the current Dragon Clan. However, in terms of bloodline purity and strength, who could compare to him with the Dragon God’s bloodline?

...

Therefore, here, he didn’t need to worry about any of these insignificant things. Any suppression or contracts related to the dragon bloodline would have no effect on him.

After signing the millennium contract, Huang Yuanlang carefully stored it away, his face revealing an uncontrollable smile, and even his gaze towards Lan Xuanyu grew bolder.

No marriage outside the family, huh! If there were to be a marriage, then the only choices would be from within the family. In Huang Yuanlang’s own mind, apart from himself, who else would be worthy of Lan?

Lan Xuanyu calmly said, “Brother Huang, you just explained to us the use of Dragon Marrow. What about Dragon Crystals? What are their functions?”

“Ah?” Huang Yuanlang was staring at Lan Xuanyu, greed apparent in his eyes, and only jolted back to awareness upon hearing the question, somewhat awkwardly responding, “Dragon Crystals, oh, Dragon Crystals! Those are even better.”

He composed himself, returning his expression to normal before continuing, “Our Dragon Clan’s core power actually resides within Dragon Crystals. Only God Rank members of our clan have Dragon Crystals condensed in their brains. Dragon Crystals are a qualitative change in divine consciousness and are the product of the fusion between one’s bloodline and divine consciousness, serving as the source of our power. For God Rank members of our clan, Dragon Crystals are truly the core, essential for focused cultivation. They are the most precious treasure of our clan. During cultivation, simply holding a Dragon Crystal naturally releases Dragon Qi to replenish your body. Moreover, this Dragon Qi is infused with divine consciousness, greatly aiding your future cultivation of divine consciousness. Cultivating the marrow and divine consciousness are fundamental for becoming a God. They are indispensable.”

“Once used, Dragon Marrow is almost completely absorbed and cannot be reused. However, Dragon Crystals can be used for a very long time. Slowly absorbing them, these three Dragon Crystals will support your cultivation to Godhood without any issues. They will greatly accelerate your cultivation. By the way, after entering the competition, we’re likely to encounter upper-ranking Dragon Clans. If you’re in the same group and face opponents with Dragon Crystals embedded in their Divine Dragon Armor, you can test them out. If the strength disparity is too great, it’s alright to admit defeat. After all, the top three can advance to the next final stage.”

“Can Divine Dragon Armor also be embedded with Dragon Crystals?” Bai Xiuxiu asked.

Huang Yuanlang nodded, “That’s a very extravagant act, yet it can bring out the maximum effect of the Divine Dragon Armor. However, it requires a matching attribute with the Dragon Crystal. Not many families have the capital or means for this.”

His words were somewhat ambiguous, but Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu could tell that a Divine Dragon Armor embedded with Dragon Crystals would be more powerful. The royal family lacked this capability. This meant that the three Dragon Crystals given to them weren’t of the same attribute as their Divine Dragon Armors.

This was likely not because the royal family didn’t want to provide them, but rather because they truly didn’t have them.

Huang Yuanlang clearly didn’t want to continue this topic, raised the millennium contract he held, and said, “I need to rush back and submit this contract for recording in Sky Dragon City. I won’t disturb your cultivation. Rest well and adjust your condition in these few days before the competition. Let’s give our best effort together during the competition.”

“Indeed.”

After seeing off Huang Yuanlang, Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu exchanged looks, and Bai Xiuxiu chuckled softly, “It seems the royal family is very confident in us now. They want to bind us, huh. No marriage, hehe.”

Lan Xuanyu looked at Bai Xiuxiu and also laughed, but his smile was somewhat peculiar.

“What are you laughing at?” Bai Xiuxiu didn’t know why, but suddenly she felt that there was something sinister about his smile.

“Nothing. I was just thinking that maybe it’s time for us to consider ‘Cultivation of Marrow.’ With Dragon Crystal and Dragon Marrow, we can use them to cultivate together. Obviously, even without the Dragon Power Hall, Dragon Crystal and Dragon Marrow can assist us in body building, and the effects are definitely far better than the Dragon Power Hall. This is some top-notch stuff from the Imperial family.”

“Um, should we try it then?” Bai Xiuxiu asked.

After the elimination stage of the Ascending Dragon Compete, she now felt a strong sense of urgency. Though winning the three fights wasn’t too difficult, she could clearly feel the gap between herself, Lan Xuanyu, and the upper Dragon Clan members. To rank within the top three in the round-robin competition was no easy task. Enhancing her strength was imperative.

“Take them off.” Lan Xuanyu chuckled softly, lowering his voice.

Bai Xiuxiu was stunned at first, but she quickly realized what he meant. Her face immediately flushed with crimson, “What are you laughing at, stop being so vulgar.”

Applying the Dragon Marrow required undressing, as Huang Yuanlang had mentioned earlier.

“Do you only think about those kinds of things? That’s the only thing you remember clearly, huh!” Bai Xiuxiu pouted and playfully hit Lan Xuanyu. He didn’t dodge but allowed her to hit him, his gaze repeatedly shifting over her unexpectedly speeding up his heartbeat.

Bai Xiuxiu could feel his change, and suddenly she placed her hand on his forehead; instantly, a chill ran from head to toe—a sensation even colder than having a bucket of ice water poured over her.

Lan Xuanyu shivered cleverly, his body suddenly stiffening, “You, you… you’re going to lose your boyfriend like this…”

“Hmph!” Bai Xiuxiu glared at him and walked towards the interior.

Lan Xuanyu distinctly saw her unbuttoning her clothes as she turned around.

The flame that had just been extinguished in him flared up instantly. He quickly grabbed a box of Dragon Marrow and two boxes of Dragon Crystal and followed her.

“Don’t come in,” Bai Xiuxiu’s voice drifted out, clearly carrying a trace of weakness.

“Huh?”

As the bedroom door closed, Lan Xuanyu found himself shut out, momentarily unsure what to do.

His hearing was excellent, and he could vaguely hear the sound of clothes rustling inside. Was Xiuxiu undressing?

Subconsciously swallowing, Lan Xuanyu suddenly felt that he didn’t dislike Huang Yuanlang so much anymore. Dragon Crystal and such didn’t matter; this Dragon Marrow was really the good stuff! He should press the Imperial family for more in the future.

After quite a while, a soft voice came from inside, “Come in now.”

Lan Xuanyu opened the door promptly as if obeying a sacred decree.

The curtains around the bed were already drawn, and he could only faintly make out the figure on the bed. Seeing that almost hidden figure, Lan Xuanyu suddenly felt an inexplicable reluctance, pausing his steps. His body grew warmer, his heart thudding “bang bang bang,” as if it was about to leap out of his chest.
