Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting - Chapter 1149

Chapter 1149: Chapter 1149 Ao Tian Dragon Knight

Lan Xuanyu shifted his gaze and ignored him. As an opponent ranked third from the bottom in this competition, there wasn’t much to pay attention to; fighting was all that was left.

After many Dragon Clan members had arrived, the Silver Light Gate opened again, and powerful figures emerged one by one. Dragon columns rose, and Dragon Qi surged. The benefits brought by the God-level Dragon Clan had arrived again.

After these ordinary God Rank Dragon Clan members made their appearance, a powerful and familiar figure emerged from the Silver Light Gate, none other than the Moke Dragon Knight, Luo Lan.

Luo Lan’s arrival caused everyone to bow, and the Dragon Clan members on the Dragon Power Pillar all stood up to pay their respects to him.

A massive Dragon Power Pillar soared into the sky, lifting Luo Lan’s body more than fifty meters into the air. His gaze shifted and immediately fell on Lan Xuanyu.

Lan Xuanyu bowed deeply towards the direction of Moke Dragon Knight Luo Lan.

At that moment, from the Silver Light Gate, another figure emerged. All the Dragon Clan members in attendance stood up once again.

A Dragon Knight? Another Dragon Knight?

Enveloped in blue-green light, this Dragon Knight appeared very young, a youthful figure with a handsome face, always wearing a sunny smile. He could be considered the least serious Dragon Knight Lan Xuanyu had ever seen.

He simply waved casually to everyone present and then, with blue-green light rising under his feet slightly behind where Luo Lan stood, the Dragon Power Pillar swiftly lifted his body to a height similar to that of the Moke Dragon Knight, albeit slightly lower.

Luo Lan turned his head to look at him, and they exchanged smiles and nodded to each other. It was apparent that their relationship was quite harmonious.

Bai Xiuxiu whispered in surprise to Lan Xuanyu, “I don’t know which Dragon Knight this is, but he probably isn’t ranked as high as Moke Dragon Knight, right?”

Before Lan Xuanyu could answer, Shadow Dragon Lin Zexuan, not far from them, provided the answer.

“Ao Tian Dragon Knight.”

Ao Tian Dragon Knight? Lord of Ao Tian City. A rare being who held the dual titles of Dragon Knight and City Lord. Among the eighteen Dragon Knights, he was relatively young. Of course, he was far from as young as he looked. Most importantly, he was the mentor of Xu Yanmo, who was the seeded player in Lan Xuanyu’s group.

The Dragon Power Pillar beneath Ao Tian Dragon Knight was aquamarine, a shade lighter than Luo Lan’s beside him. It was clear that he intentionally positioned himself slightly behind Luo Lan out of respect. However, in reality, his ranking was even higher than Moke Dragon Knight Luo Lan’s.

Ranked sixth among all eighteen Dragon Knights.

Luo Lan was senior to him, and since Ao Tian Dragon Knight, Long Chaoyang, had once received Luo Lan’s kindness, he always showed deference in Luo Lan’s presence.

Two clear gazes also fell on Lan Xuanyu the next moment, immediately making him feel a great pressure. He kept his eyes on his nose and his nose on his mouth, no longer looking up. Undoubtedly, he was being noticed by Ao Tian Dragon Knight.

Without asking, Lan Xuanyu could guess that it must have been Xu Yanmo who, after returning, reported about him to his teacher. Had today’s encounter drawn out Ao Tian Dragon Knight as well? Was he here to observe him too?

Xu Yanmo had already deeply bowed toward the Ao Tian Dragon Knight, expressing his respect to his mentor.

Dragon Knight Long Chaoyang was still smiling as he waved at him.

Ao Tian Dragon Knight Long Chaoyang had no offspring, not even a partner, which was relatively rare among dragon knights. Xu Yanmo had always been treated like a son by him, so their close relationship went without saying.

The dragon power pillars of the two dragon knights were releasing an immensely thick Dragon Qi, even more so than on the first day. However, today Luo Lan did not assist Lan Xuanyu in channeling again. A single guide was a reward; excessive guidance would contradict his noble status as a dragon knight.

At that moment, Lan Xuanyu appeared “tranquil,” but in reality, he was desperately trying to absorb the Dragon Qi from the air, condensing it into Dragon Power Liquid to store. Such an opportunity was indeed rare! If the dragon knights attended the competitions daily, that would be best.

“Before the start of the third round of the Ascending Dragon Competition, there are announcements to make,” a God-level Dragon Clan member, looking middle-aged, floated down from the Dragon Power pillar.

His Dragon Power Pillar was quite tall, at least twenty meters, marking him as a True God-level powerhouse.

All the young generation of the Dragon Clan participating hurriedly stood up, respectfully facing the speaker.

This Dragon Clan True God turned his gaze toward the Third Combat Zone and said solemnly, “In yesterday’s competition, Shaoxiu of the Third Combat Zone died in battle. After deliberation by the judging panel. It was determined that during the fight with Shaoxiu, Lan reacted with full force when his life was threatened, leading to Shaoxiu’s death. This is a formal announcement to the clan, a single reprimand. A severe warning is issued. Any further offenses will lead to elimination from the Ascending Dragon Competition and punishment by Fenglong City. Also, a reminder to everyone, in the competition, you are facing your own clan members, friendship first, competition second. There must be no more casualties.”

A reprimand, a severe warning! It sounded severe, but in fact, there were no actual punishments. Which means, yesterday’s incident where Lan killed Shaoxiu was simply glossed over, without affecting Lan Xuanyu’s subsequent matches.

After this announcement from the Dragon Clan True God, the participants on the Ascending Dragon Platform became slightly restless, and murmurs filled the air.

Although everyone knew it was unlikely that a mid-rank dragon clan would be severely punished for a high-rank dragon clan member, no one expected it to be brushed off so easily, especially the contestants from the Third Combat Zone, most of whom looked very upset. Only Xu Yanmo maintained his usual demeanor. Occasionally, when his gaze fell on Lan Xuanyu, it was filled with excitement. A powerful opponent was the source of his excitement, the one he truly wanted to face.

Lan Xuanyu bowed toward the Dragon Clan True God and said nothing. There was indeed nothing much to say.

Anyone with clear eyes knew why the Moke Dragon Knight Luo Lan was here today. With him holding the scene, even the higher-ranked Ao Tian Dragon Knight did not express anything, voluntarily staying behind. Who would dare to say anything? The dignity of a dragon knight was not to be violated.

“Let the competition begin,” Luo Lan’s voice drifted down from the high Dragon Power Pillar.

The Dragon Clan True God turned around, bowed toward him and Dragon Knight Long Chaoyang, and said, “Understood.”

“The third round of the cycle competition begins, First Combat Zone, Teng Xiaopeng, against, Yao Yicheng. Second Combat Zone, Lin Tengyue, against, Lin Jingchen. Third Combat Zone, Lan, against, Zhou Yicheng. Fourth Combat Zone…”

In the Third Combat Zone, Lan Xuanyu was still the first to step out. Compared to the previous two rounds, this time he became even more of a focal point. Almost instantly, all eyes were on him, making him the center of attention.

Lan Xuanyu slowly walked toward the battlefield of the Third Combat Zone; compared to the previous days, there were some changes in him today. He moved noticeably slower than before, at least when he was walking. However, in this process of moving, the aura around him continued to rise steadily.

A low dragon roar echoed around “her” body, swirling back and forth, and it was clear to see the faint golden dragon-shaped light swirling around his body, ascending. Most terrifyingly, with every step he took, the Fierce Aura rose with “her”. At his feet, a golden halo blossomed forth, the ferocious aura like that of a dreadful ferocious beast slowly emerging from his body.

That utterly feral aura, tangible as if solid, when he walked into the field and slowly turned around, facing Zhou Yicheng who was covered in silver scales and following him somewhat timidly. His eyes had turned a blood-red hue, filled with a savage aura.
