Lan Xuanyu nodded toward Bai Xiuxiu. Bai Xiuxiu smiled and nodded back, then voluntarily walked toward the third arena. Xu Yanmo drifted inside, and the two entered the Third Arena one after another. The God-level powerhouse who had previously saved Lin Zexuan had not left the Third Arena. He looked at the two of them and said in a deep voice, "Be mindful of controlling your attacks. You must not cripple your opponent. Understood?"
Given Lan Xuanyu's performance just now, he had no choice but to offer this reminder. Any powerful Dragon clansman—especially the young ones who could enter the round-robin tournant—represented the future of the Dragon race. Losing even one would be a trendous loss.
"Yes," Xu Yanmo replied respectfully, bowing to the elderly man.
Bai Xiuxiu also nodded.
"Miss Xiuxiu, hello. I am Xu Yanmo, from Aotian City," Xu Yanmo said politely to Bai Xiuxiu. From him, Bai Xiuxiu sensed none of the arrogance typical of Higher Dragon clansn. His gaze toward her carried admiration—a look that was rather comfortable to receive.
Bai Xiuxiu nodded in acknowledgnt.
Xu Yanmo's expression turned slightly serious. "Forgive
for the offense."
A deep dragon's roar resonated from within Xu Yanmo, and his eyes grew increasingly bright.
Just then, Bai Xiuxiu raised her right hand and said, "I surrender."
The God-level elderly Dragon clansman had only just stepped out of the Third Arena when he heard these three words behind him, nearly stumbling.
What was going on? Admitting defeat before the fight had even started?
Xu Yanmo was also montarily stunned and looked at Bai Xiuxiu in confusion. This was, after all, the first round of the round-robin tournant. Admitting defeat right off the bat was hardly a good thing—it could easily leave a poor impression on the Dragon race's upper echelons. Based on his investigation of Bai Xiuxiu, although his evaluation of her wasn't as high as his evaluation of Lan Xuanyu, it was still quite favorable.
She possessed dual attributes of darkness and ice. Having been a wild Dragon for most of her life, she had only been engaged in formal cultivation for a very short ti, but she had great potential. Even if she failed to stand out from the round-robin tournant in this Ascension Dragon Competition, she remained exceptionally outstanding. Moreover, as a female, she had attracted the attention of many families. He never expected her to choose to admit defeat right at the start.
Xu Yanmo frowned slightly but said nothing. He slowly withdrew the aura he had been releasing, nodded to Bai Xiuxiu, turned, and walked out of the arena.
"Xu Yanmo wins," the elderly God-level Dragon clansman announced. Although he didn't particularly like the act of admitting defeat, there was no rule in the round-robin tournant against it. After all, the final outco of the round-robin tournant was determined by the cumulative points.
Lan Xuanyu had achieved a swift victory; Bai Xiuxiu had admitted defeat. Both matches in the Third Arena were already over, while the first matches in other warzones hadn't even ended yet.
After Bai Xiuxiu stepped out of the Third Arena, the two of them bowed together in the direction of the powerful Dragon Knight Luo Lan, then turned and walked toward the edge of the Rising Dragon Platform. Of course, they did not leave. Leaving now would be foolish. The Rising Dragon Platform was thick with Dragon energy—not taking advantage of this mont to absorb and cultivate would be like entering a mountain of treasure and returning empty-handed. The two sat cross-legged, absorbing and storing the Dragon energy in the air.
As Lan Xuanyu absorbed the Dragon energy, he quietly sensed the Dragon energy inside his body that had been compressed into liquid form by the Dark Dragon Knight, pondering how it had been produced. Without a doubt, now that the Dragon energy had been compressed into liquid, he could store nearly a hundred tis more of it. The energy stored in this way could help him cultivate for a very long ti, and naturally, it would be much easier to assist his companions in their cultivation as well.
However, compressing Dragon energy into Dragon Force liquid was clearly not so simple.
The Dark Dragon Knight Luo Lan had helped him to give him an extra advantage, but it was also a form of guidance—to see if he possessed sufficient comprehension.
As Lan Xuanyu absorbed the Dragon energy, he used his spiritual power to sense the Dragon Force liquid stored in his dantian. After the Dragon energy turned into liquid, it had entered a stable state on its own. But whenever he used his bloodline power to stimulate it, this Dragon Force liquid would transform back into the Dragon energy he needed and drill into his bloodline vortex.
In a sense, his bloodline vortex was not liquid—it existed sowhere between gaseous and liquid. Only the Dragon Core at its center was solid. Over this period, Lan Xuanyu's Dragon Core had grown very rapidly—not only increasing in size but also emitting an ever-stronger radiance. The support of Dragon energy had accelerated his cultivation speed trendously. The thod of tempering the body with Dragon Force seed almost tailor-made for him.
Lan Xuanyu began burning the bloodline within his own body to temper his physique. Although there were so many powerful Dragon clansn present here, he wasn't worried—after all, the Dark Dragon Knight was there. No one would do him any harm. Moreover, he was confident that even a Super God-level powerhouse would not be able to sense his bloodline aura. The Golden Dragon King bloodline was of a sufficiently high level. When he ignited his bloodline, Dragon energy swirled around his body, and the Dragon energy within him surged outward, continuously exchanged through his skin and flesh.
Amid such intense fluctuations of Dragon Force, outsiders couldn't possibly understand the internal situation of his body—at most, they could sense that his bloodline level was very high. As he expended energy, he also absorbed it, simultaneously attempting to compress the Dragon energy. Gradually, he began to grasp so of the tricks.
He discovered that when the amount of Dragon energy he absorbed reached its limit and his bloodline vortex could no longer hold any more, the rotation speed of the entire vortex would slow down. Even if he forcibly accelerated it under his control, the bloodline vortex could not absorb more Dragon energy. However, the internal Dragon energy would gradually be squeezed during the rotation.
In the past, he would have stopped absorbing at this point to avoid problems with his bloodline vortex. But with the progression of Dragon Force body tempering, his cultivation level had continuously improved, and his body's tolerance was far greater than before. This gave him even more confidence. Moreover, as his spiritual power began to transform toward Divine Sense, the Dragon Crystal allowed him to better perceive the mysteries of Divine Sense, strengthening his confidence in his own control.
Previously, when the Dark Dragon Knight had gathered Dragon energy into his body and transford it into liquid, the process seed to involve rotation. So, through the rotation of his bloodline vortex, could he achieve the sa thing?
Lan Xuanyu began experinting by accelerating the rotation of his bloodline vortex. At full saturation, the vortex spun rapidly. Gradually, a wondrous scene appeared.
The progressively compressed Dragon energy fluctuated unstably but could never break out of the bloodline vortex. The bloodline power swirling within the vortex was extrely strong, forcing the Dragon energy to churn and pulse endlessly, continuously compressed under the pressure. Finally, the increasingly dense Dragon energy slowly sank, and a single drop of crystal-clear Dragon Force liquid dripped from the bottom of the funnel-shaped vortex.
Lan Xuanyu imdiately activated his soul power, guiding this drop of Dragon Force liquid into his dantian, where it rged with the previously stored Dragon Force liquid. Like the earlier Dragon Force liquid, this drop was very stable, showing no sign of reverting to Dragon energy.
Success! Lan Xuanyu was overjoyed. This ant that in this Dragon-energy-rich location, he could collect as much Dragon energy as possible and convert it into Dragon Force liquid for storage. Cultivating here was no longer important—storing Dragon Force liquid was what mattered most. Bringing the Dragon Force liquid back would not only help him alone but all of his companions! This pure Dragon Force liquid was the most pristine form of energy, imnsely beneficial for both him and his partners.
