Chapter 1124: Chapter 1124: One Punch
âAnother master recognition?â Many of the Dragon Clans present couldnât help but widen their eyes.
In fact, among the Mid-rank and Lower-rank Dragon Clans, there were many who were willing to acknowledge a master. Evolution was possible! Not only did the Lower-rank hope to evolve into Mid-rank, but the Mid-rank hoped even more to become Upper-rank. If they could become part of the Upper-rank, it would be a leap to heaven; especially if the Golden Dragon Princess became a Dragon Knight in the future, they might become Mount Dragons.
That was precisely what Yu Jiu had in mind. Thus, when he was selected as Lan Xuanyuâs opponent for the second round, he was overjoyed.
Under normal circumstances, he had no chance whatsoever of becoming a Dragon Knight. But now, he saw a glimmer of hope. Without any hesitation, he expressed his mindset to Lan Xuanyu.
Lan Xuanyu frowned slightly and shook his head, saying, âNo need. I donât need any servants anymore.â
Yu Jiu was stunned for a moment and, confused, said, âYour Highness, Golden Dragon Princess, I am not comparable to that little thing from yesterday. Even among the Mid-rank Dragon Clan, I am outstanding. Even if I cannot advance to Upper-rank Dragon Clan in the future, I might still reach the God Rank. Why wonât you accept me as a servant? Am I not more useful than that guy yesterday?â
...
Lan Xuanyu responded indifferently, âItâs not about being useful or useless. Yesterday, he was the first and, for now, will also be the only one. I currently have no plans to take on any more servants. Thatâs it. Do you want to fight or surrender?â
Yu Jiuâs expression suddenly turned somewhat grim, as he slowly stood up from the ground. He hadnât anticipated such a direct rejection from Lan Xuanyu, causing his initially good mood to vanish completely. It was replaced by a gloom, as the possibly only chance to become a Dragon Knightâs Mount Dragon disappeared; how could he not feel resentful?
âYour Highness, Golden Dragon Princess. You indeed have noble bloodline, but, in terms of combat capability before you have fully grown. You might not necessarily be my match. Wonât you reconsider?â Yu Jiuâs aura surged, and the surrounding area immediately lit up with a blue-green hue. His eyes became vertical, and his fangs at the edges of his mouth became translucent, clearly gathering a massive energy.
âAre you threatening me?â Lan Xuanyu said coldly.
With these words, the Upper-rank Dragon Clan members watching from afar all cast their eyes toward Yu Jiu at the same time. The majesty of the Dragon Clan is not to be violated. Bloodline supremacy has always been an immutable truth among the Dragon Clan. Lower-rank Dragon Clan daring to offend an Upper-rank Dragon Clan, if proven, not only were they destined to die, but they would also have no future prospects.
Yu Jiuâs gaze shifted slightly, as he slightly bowed his head and said, âI dare not. Since the Golden Dragon Princess does not wish to take me as a servant, then please allow me, the humble one, to offend by challenging you.â
âFine.â Lan Xuanyu said simply.
The next instant, Yu Jiu suddenly looked up, his four pillar-like legs fiercely stomping on the ground, a heavy boom resonating throughout the Ascending Dragon Platform. His gigantic body had already charged toward Lan Xuanyu.
That was a massive body over forty meters long! Beneath his huge fangs, the air around immediately turned stagnant, terrifying binding forces striking Lan Xuanyu from all directions in an instant.
At that moment, he seemed to have been trapped in a storm vortex, unable to struggle.
Although both possessed Wind Attributes, Yu Jiuâs Wind Attribute was starkly different from the Wind Attribute Lizard Dragon that Bai Xiuxiu faced yesterday. Yu Jiuâs wind was meant for binding and suppression. His main reliance was his Strength. The suppression of wind was meant to prevent the opponent from flying.
Although Yu Jiu could fly, his heavy body made flying not his forte. Hence, his combat style was to restrict the mobility of his opponents, thereby conquering and overcoming them.
Lan Xuanyu stood still. The huge wind pressure gathered from all directions, the terrifying pressure distorting the space around him. Even his spatial property abilities could be interfered with due to this.
It had to be said, Yu Jiu was indeed an outstanding figure among the Mid-rank Dragon Clan. Far from the Lower-rank Dragon Clan that Bai Xiuxiu faced yesterday.
The distance between Lan Xuanyu and Yu Jiu was not far, and in his full sprint, he was almost instantly in front of Lan Xuanyu.
Among the upper-rank Dragon Clan spectators, many were furrowing their eyebrows. What they didnât understand was why Lan Xuanyu showed no reaction at all.
Regardless, Yu Jiu was clearly known for his strength, and his sharp fangs definitely possessed great destructive power. Against such an opponent, one would expect him to reveal his true form immediately or break through the wind pressure and escape the encirclement to fight again.
But Lan Xuanyu didnât change at all; he just stood there, whether he was being suppressed by the wind pressure or he simply didnât care about it all. But, it couldnât be that he didnât care! Even the strong ones among the many upper-rank Dragon Clan members present wouldnât want to be hit head-on.
What was she doing?
At this moment, all the Dragon Clan spectators fell silent, and on the Ascending Dragon Platform, only the rampant galloping sound of the Blue-Green Elephant Dragon, Yu Jiu, could be heard.
As the distance between them narrowed, and just as Yu Jiuâs frontal sharp fang was about twenty meters away from him, Lan Xuanyu moved.
He suddenly stepped forward with his left foot, and instantly, his body burst into a brilliant golden light; the golden dragon scales and Divine Dragon Armor instantly covered his body. Yet, he didnât use the Dragonlance.
A ring of golden light bloomed beneath Lan Xuanyuâs feet, containing beautiful and complex patterns, converging around his body without expanding outward. Simultaneously, he suddenly let out a long chant.
âRoarââ A massive dragon roar sounded, and a golden dragon head emerged from his body, which was almost as large as Lan Xuanyu himself. Despite this, compared to the massive body of the Blue-Green Elephant Dragon, it still seemed disproportionately small.
Yet, this disproportionate dragon headâs roar significantly slowed Yu Jiuâs movements. It was a tremor that stemmed from the depths of the soul. And it wasnât just him. Even the other Dragon Clan members present, despite being shielded by energy barriers, couldnât help but feel their bloodline stir within them at the sound of the dragon roar; some were suppressed, and others panicked.
As Lan Xuanyu emitted the dragon roar, he half-pivoted his body, twisting his torso in a movement filled with strength and beauty, and threw a punch!
Yes, a punch, just one!
âBangââ That punch, radiating dazzling golden light, collided instantly with the Blue-Green Elephant Dragon Yu Jiuâs sharp fang. In an instant, Yu Jiuâs entire body burst out in a glaring blue-green light. All his strength was condensed into that sharp fang.
His massive body, his vast energy, at that moment, all poured forth.
However, no matter how intense the energy light emanating from his body was, in front of him, that golden figure shone like a sudden brilliantly dazzling and blistering sun.
âBangââ
The intense rumbling sounded a second time. The first was during the collision; the second was during the separation.
ââThud, thud, thud, thud, thudâŠâ Yu Jiuâs massive body kept falling backward. With each step backward, the ends of his tusks shattered slightly, and cracks, not just appearing on the tusk that Lan Xuanyu had punched, all the tusks showed signs of cracks at the same time. And not just cracking but also retracting.
The tusk Lan Xuanyu had punched was gradually forced back into his lips, as if being hammered into his brain.
âBang!â A figure suddenly appeared behind Yu Jiu, striking out with a palm, hitting his thick back head scales.
With a âpuffâ, six tusks almost simultaneously shattered into pieces, scattering blood and debris into the air. Yu Jiu screamed agonizingly, collapsing directly to the ground.
That figure was indeed the middle-aged Dragon Clan member hosting todayâs match. He stood on top of Yu Jiuâs massive body, his gaze fixed on Lan Xuanyu. Watching him, who was standing there, slowly retracting his fist, for a moment, his eyes couldnât help but be somewhat complex, even somewhat dazed.
