Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

Chapter 1137: Chapter 1137: Holy Light Dragon Knight
 

This was outright blatant favoritism and support. Yet, facing that huge Dragon Power Light Pillar, although the expressions of some God-level strong members of the Dragon Clan were somewhat unnatural, no one questioned it.

Seated atop the light pillar just the same, Huang Daoqi’s mouth curved into a smile as he looked at Lan Xuanyu’s surprised face and laughed even more heartily.

Such a title as Golden Dragon Princess held considerable influence among the younger generation of the Dragon Clan. However, for God Rank Experts of the Dragon Clan, it wasn’t much to talk about. At most, it was something to pay attention to.

But the presence of a Dragon Knight coming forward to show support for “her” was a completely different matter!

Lord Luo Lan was the seventh-ranked Dragon Knight. He was one of the foremost among all the knights, an extremely powerful Super God-level powerhouse. Although he was guest elder for the Imperial, he was not a knight belonging to the Imperials. The royals of Fenglong Royal City could not possibly have invited such a person to support a junior. If he was willing to do this, there was only one answer: he highly valued this junior. This was something that the City Lords of the various cities on Sky Dragon Planet and the high-levels of the major families could not ignore.

Lan Xuanyu bowed deeply in the direction of Lord Luo Lan’s Dragon Power Light Pillar.

“Lord Luo Lan, I didn’t expect you to come.” Just then, a somewhat hoarse voice rang out, and in the next moment, a figure emerged from the Silver Light Gate.

He was clad in a milky white Divine Dragon Armor that seemed to brighten up the entire Ascending Dragon Platform the moment he appeared. Suddenly, auspicious energy surged in thousands of streams, and brightness radiated in all directions.

Many of the Dragon Clan Experts aside from Luo Lan all stood up, respectfully bowing to this individual.

This person merely waved a hand and had already walked beside Luo Lan’s light pillar. A milky white light pillar bloomed, propelling his body upwards. As the light pillar kept enlarging, it touched Luo Lan’s turquoise light pillar. Both pillars suddenly exhibited a circulation of light beams interweaving with each other.

Oddly enough, no Dragon Power burst forth from them. Luo Lan remained seated cross-legged at the top of his light pillar, seemingly well accustomed to this sight, not even bothering to acknowledge the newcomer.

It wasn’t long before the milky white light pillar had climbed to a similar height as Luo Lan’s, but it never managed to shift Luo Lan’s pillar. Instead, the newcomer’s pillar shifted slightly sideways, standing shoulder to shoulder with Luo Lan’s turquoise light pillar.

The newcomer, who appeared to be in his thirties, had elongated eyes, a substantial nose—slightly hooked. His pale golden hair flowed behind his head. Seeing that he could not shift Luo Lan’s light pillar, his expression slightly changed, and with a “hmpf”, he sat down at the top of his own pillar.

With his arrival, the Dragon Qi of the entire Ascending Dragon Platform became tumultuous once more, but this time Luo Lan did not continue to guide it for Lan Xuanyu.

The many talented youths of the Dragon Clan were all busy, earnestly absorbing the Dragon Qi, which was significantly beneficial to their future cultivation. It was also an effective supplement for themselves, and it would be a great help in the upcoming battles.

Bai Xiuxiu had long closed her eyes, earnestly absorbing the Dragon Qi, her body’s surface revealing deep blue Scales, emitting a faint icy mist.

Lan Xuanyu nudged Huang Yuanlang next to him, waking him from his process of absorbing Dragon Qi.

Huang Yuanlang opened his eyes and saw that it was Lan Xuanyu who had nudged him. He was startled and looked at “her” questioningly.

Lan Xuanyu gestured with his mouth in the direction of the huge light pillar, and asked softly, “Who is that?”

Huang Yuanlang communicated telepathically: “That is Holy Light Dragon Knight Huang Liangwei. Ranked eleventh. From Rui Long City.”

Lan Xuanyu said, “Of the Rui Xiao Family?”

Huang Yuanlang nodded and said, “That’s right, the guardian knight of the Zhangliang Ruixiao family. He was originally from a collateral branch of their family, and he wasn’t anything special, but somehow, he caught the eye of a high-ranking member of the Dragon Clan who chose him as the heir. After inheriting the knight’s position following that member’s demise, he became a Holy Light Dragon Knight. Very impressive. And he doesn’t have a good relationship with our Lord Luo Lan.”

Lan Xuanyu nodded slightly. “There’s more than one Dragon Knight in Rui Long City?” he asked while his mind was already churning like a tempestuous sea.

From the light pillar beneath that Holy Light Dragon Knight, it was evident that he was also a Super God-level powerhouse. This meant that at least the top eleven Dragon Knights were all Super God-level powerhouses. Such a number was terrifying to contemplate. After all, in the entire Douluo Federation, there was only one confirmed Super God-level individual at present, and that was Uncle Le.

And these Dragon Knights weren’t just strong on their own; they had Mount Dragons too. This was an indescribably formidable strength.

At that moment, the Silver Light Gate finally began to slowly close. No more God-level Dragon Clan Experts appeared. Those who had come to watch today’s ceremony were the ones right before their eyes, led by the Moke Dragon Knight Luo Lan and the Holy Light Dragon Knight Huang Liangwei.

“Yes, there’s another one who ranks a bit lower. Rui Long City is probably in the fourth position overall among the major cities,” said Huang Yuanlang with a hint of helplessness.

Despite Luo Lan’s high rank among the Dragon Knights, he was only a guest elder, not of the imperial lineage, and his support for the royal cause was limited. If that weren’t the case, Fenglong City wouldn’t be at the bottom.

This was why the royal family was willing to pay such a steep price, offering Dragon Crystals and Dragon Marrow, just to get Lan Xuanyu to sign the thousand-year contract. They were desperate to have a Dragon Knight of their own family.

Luo Lan said indifferently, “Let’s begin.”

All Dragon Clan members present deferred to his status. Even the Holy Light Dragon Knight, who did not get along with him, would not contest in this regard. The order of the Dragon Knights was a representation of strength and status. Unless he could defeat Luo Lan and rank higher, in the current situation, they had to follow Luo Lan’s lead.

“Yes, Lord Luo Lan,” said a God-level Dragon Clan member standing on a three-meter-tall light pillar. As the light pillar under him dissipated, he stepped forward slowly.

With his hands outstretched, he made an upward motion, and suddenly, huge light screens rose into the air, segregating the battlefield.

Compared to the elimination round earlier, the venue was now much larger. Apart from the area where the God-level Dragon Clan Experts were, other areas were divided into ten parts, each accommodating ten battles simultaneously. Each battle area comprised one group. Each group would carry out five battles per day, continuing for a total of nine days, ensuring that each person had encountered all the other nine people in their group.

Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu were in the third group.

“All contestants, gather in front of the light screen of your respective battle areas. When your name is called, enter the field,” the Dragon Clan Expert said in a deep voice.

Hand in hand, Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu made their way towards Battle Area Three. From around them, some other individuals walked towards the same area. Undoubtedly, these were the opponents they would face over the coming days.

“Battle Area One, first match, Tong Yuefeng vs. Ao Hao. Battle Area Two, first match, Xue Han vs. Jiang Chen. Battle Area Three, first match, Lan Xuanyu vs. Lin Zexuan. Battle Area Four, first match…”

Lan Xuanyu’s gaze shifted slightly. In Battle Area Three, he was the first to fight. It was at this moment that he felt a gaze from above, not far away, looking down at him.

Turning his head to look, there was a Giant Dragon, about twenty meters long, which was probably the smallest in size among the dragon-shaped participants in the tournament. Its body was covered with grayish-green Scales, and compared to the others, it seemed quite slim and without any remarkable features.

Mid-rank Dragon Clan Lin Zexuan.

Information about this person immediately flashed in Lan Xuanyu’s mind.

Shadow Dragon! A type not commonly seen among the Dragon Clan, known for their speed and flight abilities, boasting Wind Attribute and a sort of spatial property.
