At this point, Lan Xuanyu let out a sigh.
“To be honest, I’m feeling a bit at a loss.”
Bai Xiuxiu loosened her arms from around him and looked up at his face.
“I’m sorry, Xuanyu. I’ve made things difficult for you.”
“It was just now… I really—”
“You didn’t do anything wrong,” Lan Xuanyu hurriedly covered her mouth. “And you don’t need to apologize to . It’s precisely because our feelings run so deep that you reacted this way.”
“It’s
who hasn’t done well enough.”
Bai Xiuxiu shook her head, pulled his hand away, and placed it gently against her cheek.
“Since I chose you, all I can do is walk forward with you.”
“I only have one request. No matter what you do, no matter where you go, you must take
with you. You absolutely cannot leave
behind and take risks alone. If there’s danger, then we face it together.”
“Life like this may be thrilling and dangerous, but it’s also aningful. If one day we truly encounter a danger we can’t overco, then I’ll face it with you. Whether we live or die, we’ll be together.”
“So whenever you make a decision, you have to rember this—if you die, I die too. There’s no second possibility.”
“If you want to go to the Dragon Realm, then go. But you have to take
with you.”
She smiled faintly. “After all, I’m your mount dragon, you know.”
The corner of Lan Xuanyu’s mouth twitched. He pinched her nose helplessly.
“Now you rember you’re my mount dragon? You were pretty resistant before.”
“That was different.” Bai Xiuxiu giggled, wrapping her arms around his neck.
Sotis, things really did need to be talked out. Once she spoke her thoughts aloud, she felt much better.
Lan Xuanyu said, “Actually, if you think about it the other way around—if we had stayed on our ho planet and cultivated step by step, I can’t judge how fast your cultivation would be, but mine would definitely slow down more and more.”
“My bloodline is too powerful. Every breakthrough requires an astronomical amount of energy.
When I broke through to five-ring, I nearly drained the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well on Senluo Planet dry.
If it weren’t for Senior Da Ming and Er Ming’s close relationship with my elders, how could they possibly have allowed
to do sothing like that?
When I broke through to six-ring , Uncle Le personally stood guard for . And it was only because of his imnse influence in Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect that I was able to absorb a massive amount of the Eternal Tree’s life origin.
That was the life essence of an entire planet!
But no matter how high Uncle Le’s status is, Douluo planet is still humanity’s most important ho planet, and the Eternal Tree is its very core of life.
My next breakthrough will require even more energy. Sothing like that simply can’t happen again.
If I want to advance, I’ll have no choice but to accumulate slowly—painfully slowly.
And if I want to break through to the god level, the amount of energy I’ll need will be unimaginably vast.
Because once I beco a god, I’ll truly have the foundation to reclaim the position of Dragon God.
So I honestly don’t know how long it will take
to beco a god. Ten years? Twenty years? Or even longer?
On the surface, we seem glorious among the younger generation, but in reality, our true strength is still far from enough to fight for humanity.
From the battle between the Seventh Fleet and the Dragon Horse Federation, as well as the Proto Dragon Crystal incident, it’s clear that the conflict between us and the Dragon Horse galaxy has reached an irreconcilable stage.
A massive war is inevitable—and it will be a brutal one.
If we want to protect our holand and our loved ones, then we must grow strong ourselves. Only then can we combine the Federation’s technology and the Tang Sect’s technology to fight the Dragon Horse Federation to the death.
There’s no ti to waste.
Celestial Dragon Planet just happens to give us such an opportunity—an opportunity to break through rapidly. The resources here are incredibly abundant, and there’s even the Dragon Realm that the Dragon Knights spoke of.
Especially for . If I can gain enough benefits here, my cultivation speed will definitely skyrocket.
Just look at now. After several rounds of Dragon Force tempering—especially today—my spiritual power has probably increased several tis over. My body has been thoroughly refined, and my soul power cultivation speed has greatly accelerated.
How long have we even been here? I feel that at most, in another half a year, my soul power will reach the peak of six-ring.
If the Dragon Force fusion goes smoothly, then within a year, I’ll be able to accumulate enough strength to prepare for a breakthrough.
Little Trea even told
today that the Rising Dragon Platform originally belonged to the Dragon God—it’s a Super God artifact.
If I can break through on the Rising Dragon Platform, then it’s possible I’ll skip the Titled Douluo stage entirely and step directly into godhood.
If that really happens—if I truly beco a god and initially possess the Dragon God’s bloodline—then given the Dragon Clan’s bloodline supremacy, even if we encounter danger again, we’ll at least have a chance to escape.
So… I really want to take a gamble.
I don’t want to be helpless when the final great war arrives—watching Uncle Le and Teacher Nana fight for humanity, or even… while I can do nothing at all.”
By the ti he finished speaking, Lan Xuanyu’s eyes had already reddened.
Seeing his heartfelt emotions, Bai Xiuxiu’s gaze softened. She gently caressed his cheek and said softly,
“This is the first ti I’ve truly, from the bottom of my heart, wanted to be your mount dragon.”
Lan Xuanyu’s body trembled slightly. He lowered his head to look at her, about to speak—only to see a hint of mischief appear in Bai Xiuxiu’s eyes.
“But you have to be my mount dragon too.”
“Usually, I will ride you. But in front of others, you’re allowed to ride .”
“Hahaha, deal!”
Lan Xuanyu suddenly twisted his body, reached out with his right hand, and pulled Bai Xiuxiu onto his back. He started hopping around the room.
Bai Xiuxiu laughed—but tears quietly slid down from the corners of her eyes.
Feeling the warmth of his body, her heart ached for him.
He wasn’t even twenty years old, yet he already carried such a heavy burden. That sense of crisis, born from repeated dangers, weighed deeply on him.
What else could she do?
Since she loved him, she could only follow him. Wherever he was, she would be there.
The Rising Dragon Festival quickly beca the hottest topic across all major cities on Celestial Dragon Planet.
The draw was held in the afternoon, and the results were announced in the evening. Huang Yuanlang imdiately inford Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu of their matchups.
Unsurprisingly, during the preliminary selection stage, all Higher Dragons were seeded contestants. They wouldn’t face opponents of similar strength—only mid-tier or Lower Dragons.
This was the class advantage of Higher Dragons.
Both Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu drew Lower Dragon opponents in the first round, so there was no real pressure.
Huang Yuanlang was the sa.
The Rising Dragon Competition was held on the Rising Dragon Platform itself.
Early the next morning, when Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu followed Huang Yuanlang back onto the platform, the oppressive force that had appeared during yesterday’s ascent was already gone.
The Rising Dragon Platform had been divided into ten vast zones. Dragon Clan beings were massive and excelled at aerial combat—it was impossible for battles to be limited to the ground.
Curtains of light rose into the air, dividing both sky and land. Clearly, each isolated zone was a battlefield for the tournant.
These light curtains didn’t seem to be soul tools, but Lan Xuanyu wasn’t sure how they were ford.
There was none of the ceremonial flair seen in human soul master tournants. As long as a zone was free and both drawn participants arrived at the platform, they could imdiately enter battle. Only the victor would have their qualification recorded.
Higher dragons had priority and didn’t need to line up like Interdiate or Lower Dragons. Moreover, battles involving Higher Dragons usually ended very quickly.
As soon as Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu arrived on the Rising Dragon Platform, they beca the center of attention.
There was no helping it—their performance yesterday had been far too eye-catching.
Especially Lan Xuanyu. The mont he appeared, nearly all the contestants instinctively turned their gazes toward him, eyes filled with unmistakable fervor.
