Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

Chapter 1181: Chapter 1181: Cloud Water City, Water Dragon Clan

Both individuals made it into the top thirty, and they were even paired for the final contest—a rare occurrence in the history of the Ascending Dragon Competition. When Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu first came out, they caught the attention of the Dragon Knights. Not to mention the peculiar energy Lan Xuanyu had absorbed on the Ascending Dragon Platform. “She” is now one of the most closely monitored individuals by the Sky Dragon Alliance.

Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu’s opponent did not directly enter the competition arena but walked toward the area outside the Ascending Dragon Platform and issued a loud dragon roar skywards.

In the next moment, a dragon roar responded from a distance. A colossal figure was already flying towards them from afar.

Gradually, a small black dot grew larger; it dared not fly higher than the Ascending Dragon Platform but approached at an altitude level with it. Seeing his Mount Dragon, contestant number fourteen looked somewhat relieved and subconsciously clenched his fists.

Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu gazed intently at his Mount Dragon.

As it drew closer, the Dragon Clan member became visible. Its body was covered in pale blue scales, and it was extremely large, measuring at least fifty meters long. The scales were tightly packed, and its body emitted a pale blue halo, almost gathering into an aura beneath it. Clearly, it was a high-ranking member of the Dragon Clan.

The blue giant dragon floated down onto the platform, first bowing in the direction of the seven Dragon Power Pillars.

At that point, the referee finally announced: “Seventh match, Lan and Huang Xiuxiu versus Song Junhou, Luo Shuiyun.”

The giant dragon then rose and came to the side of the contestant, lowered its enormous head to rub against him, and the contestant also patted its head, after which they both entered the arena together.

“Hello, I am Song Junhou. This is my wife, Luo Shuiyun. We come from Cloud Water City.” Contestant number fourteen nodded slightly to Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu in greeting. For some reason, but after the blue giant dragon Luo Shuiyun arrived, his emotions had stabilized significantly, clearly influenced positively by the giant dragon.

“I am Luo Shuiyun,” said the blue giant dragon in a female voice.

A couple paired as competitors. Lan Xuanyu turned to look at Bai Xiuxiu, and in response, she rolled her eyes at him and even pinched him.

She clearly understood what Lan Xuanyu meant; he was obviously pointing out, see, their male is a knight, the female is a Mount Dragon. It’s also a husband riding his wife!

“The match begins.” The referee did not care what they were doing and directly announced the start of the match.

Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu nodded solemnly at their opponents, returning the gesture, and then their momentum abruptly intensified.

Song Junhou tapped the ground with his toes, and in a flash, he was soaring, landing atop the massive head of Luo Shuiyun. Instantly, a surge of blue light intensified around the man and dragon.

The air noticeably began to moisten, and soft water elements burst forth. Everything around seemed to take on a misty quality.

A water attribute Dragon Clan. This was something Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu hadn’t encountered in previous battles.

Both were very familiar with the water attribute. Bai Xiuxiu’s former Martial Soul was the Devil Soul Great White Shark, which excelled in water combat. Even her ice attribute had evolved from the water attribute. Lan Xuanyu’s first elemental control with the Silver Patterned Blue Silver Grass was the water element, which he had cultivated the longest.

In this Ascending Dragon Competition, facing various elemental dragons actually provided him with great inspiration. The Dragon Clan’s control over elements far surpasses humans, a result of their innate talents. With their strong physiques, they can summon elements in ways humans cannot.

However, controlling power is one thing, and how to control it is another. When facing strong opponents, the methods of controlling elements demonstrated gave Lan Xuanyu a lot of insights. Especially the battle with Xu Yanmo, which profoundly demonstrated to him the various applications of the light element, from which he benefited greatly.

Bai Xiuxiu did not transform into a Mount Dragon; instead, she held hands with Lan Xuanyu, soaring into the sky and rushing towards the opponent. Dragon Power circulated, a faint golden glow enveloped Bai Xiuxiu, her aura surged, and the two, as if one entity, flew into the sky with the resounding cry of a dragon roar.

With her other hand, Bai Xiuxiu performed the Catch in the Void, immediately condensing an ice spear, which she handed to Lan Xuanyu next to her. She performed the Catch in the Void again, obtaining another ice spear.

They both excelled in spear fighting, and participating with a Mount Dragon meant they couldn’t use Divine Dragon Armor or the Dragonlance, so fighting with a dragonlance formed from the ice element naturally wasn’t restricted.

A loud dragon roar also emerged from the opponents. In the next moment, Luo Shuiyun opened her mouth and sprayed a huge water column, covering them in the sky. Song Junhou narrowed his eyes slightly, choosing not to act, but his body was already covered with blue scales, his eyes turned pitch black, and above his head, clouds densely gathered, showing changes.

Lan Xuanyu looked up at the sky, while Bai Xiuxiu next to him pointed her ice spear forward, spraying a vast mist of ice that met the water column breath. Instantly, the water turned to ice, and the breath plummeted.

In terms of Cultivation, Luo Shuiyun was clearly inferior to Bai Xiuxiu; otherwise, she wouldn’t have failed to enter the top thirty. But Lan Xuanyu kept an eye on Song Junhou above her head.

Since they were fighting together, there must be something special about their partnership. The relationship between a Mount Dragon and a Dragon Knight isn’t just about understanding; it must involve a chemical reaction similar to a Martial Soul Fusion Skill to be the best combination.

Huang Yuanlang once told them that those who had Mount Dragons in the Ascending Dragon Competition were definitely in such situations. It’s normal for someone like Qi Tianlong to choose a Mount Dragon after reaching the God Rank, which constitutes a powerful alliance. He reasoned that if he could think of this, so could other members of the Dragon Clan. However, those who still chose to have a Mount Dragon early were naturally those who could have such chemical reactions and were mutually recognized, making this possible.

The ice spear landed, scattering ice flowers and large ice blocks around. Bai Xiuxiu pointed her ice spear towards the sky, and immediately, in the already dimming sky, a massive amount of snowflakes began to dance down.

At this moment, Lan Xuanyu clearly noticed that the expression of Song Junhou standing on the dragon’s head changed, and the light from his scales intensified.

“Bang!” Song Junhou’s body seemed to explode in the next moment, a burst of clouds erupted, and instantly, it soared into the sky. Simultaneously, Luo Shuiyun spread her wings and penetrated the clouds, vaguely visible within the surging cloud.

Snowflakes danced but were blocked outside by the cloud, which along with Luo Shuiyun’s figure, kept rising higher and higher.

Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu hovered in mid-air without pursuing. The snowflakes in the air started to grow larger, and pieces of blue goose-feather-like snow swirled from nowhere, and the temperature in the air continued to drop.

In terms of attributes, Bai Xiuxiu’s ice attribute was undoubtedly a counter to the opponent’s right hand. In a sense, ice can be considered an advanced stage of the water element. As for the trial start of the fight, Lan Xuanyu had never made a move. But it was evident that “she” holding Bai Xiuxiu’s hand caused Xiuxiu’s power to surge significantly. This was a noticeable amplification effect.

Essentially, Bai Xiuxiu alone suppressed the opposing couple, forcing them to unleash their most powerful abilities. Although it’s still unknown what those abilities are, from their ascension into the clouds, it was clear that some secrets were hidden there.

“Rumble!” Just then, a thunderous roar resounded in the sky, and immediately, within the vastly expanded cloud, there was a flurry of thunder and lightning.

Lan Xuanyu’s eyes brightened; he immediately understood what the couple’s combined ability was. Thunderbolt Bombing?
