Chapter 1166: The Powerful Xu Yanmo!

TL: GoldenLung

At the same time, Lan Xuanyu also sensed that the issue with his Divine Dragon Armor was beginning to manifest. Although his Mountain Dragon King Divine Dragon Armor was excellent, the Mountain Dragon King's attributes were not entirely compatible with his own. In contrast, his opponent's Divine Dragon Armor was clearly forged from the bones of a Holy Light Dragon, with attributes that matched perfectly. In this regard, he was also at a disadvantage. The battle was about to erupt, and the dragons who had been absorbing Dragon Force now opened their eyes to watch this match. Lan Xuanyu's sudden rise in this competition had drawn the attention of many dragons, and they all wanted to see just how far he could go.

This battle would determine whether he was qualified to contend for the championship. "Please!" Xu Yanmo slowly raised the long lance in his hand. As a male, he courteously ceded the first attack to Lan Xuanyu. Lan Xuanyu did not stand on ceremony. Golden light burst from his eyes, and with a light tap of his left foot on the ground, he launched himself into the air.

A proud dragon roar resonated from within his bloodline, and the fierce, mad, and ferocious bloodline aura erupted without reservation. Xu Yanmo felt his heart sink as his own bloodline circulation was clearly affected, and the light aura surrounding his body wavered slightly. He realized that his bloodline was being suppressed by his opponent's. Impressive—even my Holy Light Dragon bloodline struggles against hers? What kind of dragon is this Lan? What bloodline does she possess to wield such power! Though he marveled inwardly, his movements were in no way slow. He lightly pushed off the ground and soared into the air as well. Behind him, a blazing light aura burst forth, and faintly, three pairs of light wings unfurled at his back. Yes, though he was of the dragon clan, he possessed as many as three pairs of wings. The moment those three pairs of light wings spread open, all light elements within several kilometers around the Rising Dragon Platform—except in the direction of the god-rank dragon experts—surged madly toward him. In an instant, he shone like a small sun, radiant beyond compare amid the light elements.

The dazzling brilliance completely enveloped Xu Yanmo, obscuring his form. The next instant, that intense light transformed into a projectile, hurtling straight toward Lan Xuanyu with fearsome impact. The light elements, dense to the point of solidity, condensed in midair, their white radiance gradually shifting into a platinum hue. Lan Xuanyu was airborne, yet facing such a powerful assault, he showed no intention of evading. Facing Xu Yanmo was entirely different from facing Hu Hongyu; they were opponents on different levels. Lan Xuanyu could sense that Xu Yanmo was even stronger than he had imagined. If he tried to dodge, his momentum would falter, and he might lose even the chance to counterattack. Thus, instead of evading, he accelerated forward. Golden light blazed from him as he merged with his lance, his bloodline power and soul power fusing completely into the purest force, hurtling toward his foe like a golden meteor.

"Boom!" An explosion akin to a planetary collision erupted within the Third Combat Zone, the blinding radiance illuminating every detail of the battlefield.

The dazzling light prevented all competitors from seeing the situation inside at first glance. Only the distant god-rank experts could discern the outcome through their Divine Sense. The Darkfiend Dragon Knight Luo Lan immediately furrowed his brow. The Holy Light Dragon Knight Huang Liangwei smiled slightly and said, "It seems that wild dragons remain wild after all!" The Heaven-Defying Dragon Knight Long Chaoyang said nothing, merely watching the battlefield in silence.

As the light gradually faded, the two had separated, each retreating to opposite sides. Xu Yanmo remained suspended in midair, the platinum light around him rippling. Lan Xuanyu stood on the ground, a deep trench before him, with nearly half his body sunk into the earth. The surrounding ground showed signs of melting. One must remember—this was the Rising Dragon Platform, an extraordinarily hard surface! Though only the surface rock had been shattered, not the inner core, breaking through rock that had been nourished by Dragon Force for countless ages still required terrifying power! Several cracks were now clearly visible on Lan Xuanyu's Mountain Dragon King Divine Dragon Armor. His complexion was pale, his long hair slightly disheveled, and his dragon lance was planted in the ground, seemingly to steady himself. Anyone could see that in this full-force collision, Xu Yanmo had gained the upper hand—and by a considerable margin.

It was unclear whether Lan Xuanyu had been injured, but he had certainly come off worse. Yet Xu Yanmo did not pursue immediately. He took deep, slow breaths as light elements continuously replenished him. It was not that he did not wish to press the attack, but the Dragon God Shock had delivered a fearsome tremor that he too needed time to dispel. Once that tremoring force took root within him, even he could not withstand its destructive might. So, though he appeared unscathed, he was forced to pause before the power of the Dragon God Shock.

Layer upon layer of light elements bloomed in resplendent halos, carrying away the destructive force of the Dragon God Shock. A flush rose on Xu Yanmo's face as he once again pointed his dragon lance at Lan Xuanyu. Through this single collision, he had already gauged his opponent: in terms of raw power, he held a significant advantage. Lan's strength was not that formidable; she relied solely on her bloodline power, physical might, and that unique tremor technique to unleash such potent attacks.

In fact, when Lan Xuanyu had defeated Hu Hongyu yesterday through mutual destruction, Xu Yanmo had already formed a certain assessment of her capabilities. In his view, compared to himself, Lan Xuanyu was ultimately a level below. The gap in strength could not be bridged by appearance alone.

Lan Xuanyu now emerged from the half-melted, half-shattered trench, the glow of his Mountain Dragon King Divine Dragon Armor having dimmed noticeably. A low dragon rumble resonated around him, and golden light reignited.

"Roar!" He let out a resounding dragon cry toward Xu Yanmo in the air, his battle intent fierce and palpable even to the dragons outside the combat zone. Though he had suffered from that exchange, his fighting spirit remained utterly undiminished! Such boldness alone made many young dragons feel ashamed. Would they, in his place, facing such a formidable Xu Yanmo, be able to maintain that same will to fight?

Qi Tianlong nodded slightly. Beside him, Zhang Liang Ruixiao chuckled softly, "Boss, looks like this Lan is still a bit green! Aren't you planning a hero-to-the-rescue act?"

Qi Tianlong shot him a glance and said, "Compared to her, you are far behind. Her fighting spirit has not weakened from the setback—it has actually grown. This battle is not over yet. Even if Xu Yanmo can defeat her, he will have to pay a price. And don't forget, before this, Lan was a wild dragon—she only began training in Dragon Force Tempering after entering Fenglong City. Ten years from now, at the next Rising Dragon Competition, I fear no one will be her match. By then, I, Xu Yanshuang, and Tang Lengxuan will have certainly advanced to god-rank. As for who goes further in the future, that is hard to say." Zhang Liang Ruixiao said in surprise, "She can compare with you?" Qi Tianlong nodded slightly, "She may even have greater potential. Before their collision, did you not notice that when she let out her dragon roar, Xu Yanmo's light elements were affected? That means her bloodline aura suppressed Xu Yanmo's. You know Xu Yanmo's bloodline, and the level of one's bloodline determines the potential of our dragon clan."
