Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

Chapter 1164: Chapter 1164: The Four Dragon Knights
 

Spiritual Power reaching the stage of Mind Visualization and the peak of the Spirit Domain Realm finally allowed Lan Xuanyu to feel something from the Ascending Dragon Platform.

This change made him overjoyed. It meant that he may be able to receive some sort of feedback from the Ascending Dragon Platform, once a super divine weapon of the Dragon God.

Lan Xuanyu’s expression remained unchanged, but his Spiritual Power quietly spread out, releasing towards the direction of the Ascending Dragon Platform.

With the impact of his Spiritual Power, he gradually felt some changes in the Ascending Dragon Platform.

What was originally an incredibly sturdy exterior now seemed like a door quietly opening for him. With the opening of this door, Lan Xuanyu could feel something about the interior of the Ascending Dragon Platform.

Boundless, that was his first sensation. Inside the Ascending Dragon Platform, there seemed to be another world, a world so vast it seemed limitless. And it was in such a boundless world that he saw the rich and dense Nine-colored hues, containing energies of unknown magnitude.

What was that? The thought had barely formed in Lan Xuanyu’s mind when a sudden feeling of weakness emerged. He was shocked to find that, as if only a moment had passed, over a third of his Spiritual Power had already been depleted.

He quickly concentrated to inspect within, swiftly adjusting his condition, not daring to continue his investigation, focusing within to recover his Spiritual Power.

He saw it, he could see inside the Ascending Dragon Platform. But, this consumption was terrifying, wasn’t it? Was the colorful energy inside the energy of the Dragon God or of the Ascending Dragon Pillar itself?

Lan Xuanyu didn’t know himself, but he was certain that the grand intensity of the colorful energy inside was something he had never seen before in his life, something that couldn’t be compared or described with heavenly treasures.

If the astronomical amount of energy could be guided out, that would be a truly terrifying existence!

Unfortunately, his current level of Cultivation was far from sufficient to do so. He could only silently sense it.

Perhaps, only after he breaks through to the God Rank would he truly understand everything here and attempt to borrow from it.

Although he hadn’t managed to successfully harness the energy inside the Ascending Dragon Platform, Lan Xuanyu was not discouraged but rather felt a sense of joy.

The Ascending Dragon Platform had been standing here for who knows how many years. The Dragon Clan here only used it as a venue for competitions and took advantage of some of its own mystical aspects. But Lan Xuanyu was completely certain that even the Sky Dragons hadn’t figured out what was contained within the Ascending Dragon Platform. Otherwise, such massive energy wouldn’t remain unused.

This meant that only he, who possessed the Dragon God’s bloodline, might have the possibility to utilize the Ascending Dragon Pillar. With this realization, there was no need to rush in the moment. Whenever he acquired enough strength, then he could attempt to mobilize the energy within the Ascending Dragon Pillar. There would always be time.

And if this energy could truly be mobilized by him, whether for Cultivation or as a weapon, it would likely elevate him to an unprecedented level.

A faint smile appeared on Lan Xuanyu’s face; he gathered his focus, adjusting his Spiritual Power. Centering on the Dragon Core, he restored what he had previously expended.

Once again standing atop the Ascending Dragon Platform, everything appeared the same as the previous few days. But Lan Xuanyu noticed many gazes were directed at him. Clearly, everyone knew that today he would be battling Xu Yanmo. This battle was sure to be the center of everyone’s attention.

Would someone actively concede to avoid the battle? It seemed unlikely at present. The Ascending Dragon Competition wasn’t just about winning and losing, but also a valuable opportunity for mutual honing and practice. This was true particularly for these strong contenders. Moreover, both had already qualified, with no pressure regarding qualification and several buffer matches ahead. Even if injured, they could recover. How could such an excellent opportunity be missed? It was the perfect time for their forces to collide.

The immense Silver Light Gate opened in the distance, and one by one, God level strong members of the Dragon Clan emerged, igniting the Dragon Power Pillar beneath them.

Just as Huang Yuanlang had said, Lan Xuanyu soon saw the figures of Moke Dragon Knight Luo Lan and Ao Tian Dragon Knight Long Chaoyang. What surprised him even more was that it wasn’t just these two who arrived today, but two other Dragon Knights he had met before.

One of them is the Dark Devil Dragon Knight Luo Yayuan, who appeared on the first day of the Ascending Dragon Tournament, and the other is the Holy Light Dragon Knight Huang Liangwei from Rui Long City.

The gathering of the four major Dragon Knights is truly a rare spectacle on the Sky Dragon Planet!

When the four immense Dragon Power Pillars ascended, the gaze of every Dragon Clan member present turned exceptionally fervent as they watched.

What level of strength did the four major Dragon Knights represent? One-quarter of the eighteen Dragon Knights had traveled here just to watch today’s competition. And today’s highlight was in the Third Combat Zone. In other words, they were all here to watch the match between Lan Xuanyu and Xu Yanmo.

The presence of Moke Dragon Knight Luo Lan and Ao Tian Dragon Knight Long Chaoyang was somewhat understandable, as they were here to look after their own offspring. However, the attendance of the other two Dragon Knights was somewhat intriguing.

The Dark Devil Dragon Knight Luo Yayuan was the highest-ranked presence among the four major Dragon Knights on the scene, deservedly taking the lead with his Dragon Power Pillar at the very front. The other three major Dragon Knights followed in order behind him.

The emergence of the four major Dragon Knights immediately made the Dragon Qi on the Ascending Dragon Platform as thick as substance. This was naturally a great boon for all the younger Dragon Clan members. After bowing to the four Dragon Knights, most hastened to sit down and absorb Dragon Qi to replenish themselves.

Lan Xuanyu did not sit down with crossed legs; after bowing in the direction of the Dragon Knights, he remained standing. His match with Xu Yanmo was about to begin, and the four major Dragon Knights had come precisely to witness this battle. At this moment, he needed to adjust his state.

Even with Lan Xuanyu’s mental fortitude, the convergence of the four major Dragon Knights still increased the pressure in his heart. This match, no matter what, could not possibly result in anyone conceding defeat. With the four major Dragon Knights as witnesses, it was bound to be a battle fought with full strength.

Xu Yanmo was not far from Lan Xuanyu, and his gaze was also directed towards Lan Xuanyu at this time.

“Miss Lan, I wonder if your injury has recovered?” Xu Yanmo asked Lan Xuanyu.

Lan Xuanyu nodded, “No hindrance.”

Xu Yanmo smiled slightly, “That’s good. During the battle, I will certainly bring out my strongest strength.”

“Hmm. So will I,” Lan Xuanyu succinctly replied.

At this moment, although all other competitors were absorbing Dragon Qi, there were still a few who remained standing. They were among the most powerful of this young generation.

Who would be their toughest opponent in the finals, and who would be the ultimate number one in the Third Combat Zone, would all be decided in the upcoming match.

A faint smile appeared on his face, Lan Xuanyu patted Bai Xiuxiu’s hand, giving her tense and somewhat icy hand a bit more warmth.

Bai Xiuxiu raised her head to look at him, their eyes meeting, and she saw the strong will to fight in the depths of Lan Xuanyu’s gaze. She had never seen such a will to fight in his eyes before. Not even when they were weak and facing powerful enemies in the past.

“Good luck!” Bai Xiuxiu said softly.

Lan Xuanyu’s eyes, deep and profound, looked at her and said, “Never admit defeat.”

“The other matches are temporarily postponed. Group three, Lan versus Xu Yanmo, will commence separately. Please enter the arena.” A True God Level Dragon Clan strong individual had already floated into the competition area, gesturing for Lan Xuanyu and Xu Yanmo to proceed.

This temporary adjustment of the tournament rules further highlighted the importance the Dragon Clan strong members placed on this battle. Naturally, this was at the behest of the four major Dragon Knights.
