Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting - Chapter 1150

Chapter 1150: Chapter 1150: Coward

Zhou Yicheng’s gaze intensified, and he subconsciously stopped in his tracks. When he finally gathered the courage to step into the Third Combat Zone, he instantly felt the terrifying ferocity emanating from Lan Xuanyu.

That was an overwhelmingly fierce aura, the golden halo spreading outward, and all that echoed in his ears seemed to be the savage roars of dragons.

Just yesterday, he had killed a fellow clan member, and he had only been warned today. But none of this seemed to have affected the viciousness before him. The fierce killing intent was indescribably more powerful than in the previous two matches, and furthermore, Zhou Yicheng could clearly see the golden scales released from Lan Xuanyu trembling slightly, just like the tremors from two days ago.

Looking at such an opponent, he really felt like bursting into tears with a “wow.” Wasn’t he just warned not to kill dragons? Why did this person seem even more ruthless? Why is this happening? What bad luck have I stumbled upon?

Zhou Yicheng’s luck was not good; his clan was ranked second to last among the entire Dragon Clan. Moreover, he was not the most valued competitor in his clan this time. He was actually quite satisfied with being able to enter the round-robin tournament.

In the first two matches of the group stage, without exception, he had lost to his opponent.

...

Huang Yuanlang’s researched data on him was quite straightforward: timid as a mouse, always placing safety first.

The tactics to use depended on the type of opponent faced. Lan Xuanyu’s violent methods in the first two matches were not without intimidation. At this moment, when he released the Golden Dragon Rage Domain, presenting himself in the most ferocious manner and unleashing the entire terrifying might of the Golden Dragon King, Zhou Yicheng indeed was greatly affected.

Lan Xuanyu’s right hand made a grabbing motion in the air, and the Dragonlance leapt into his hand. His pupils suddenly vertical, and blood seemed to seethe from his eyes as he stared intensely at his opponent.

“The match starts,” declared the Dragon Clan True God. All ten matches commenced once again.

“Roar—” Lan Xuanyu looked up to the sky and let out a dragon roar, the momentum that had been building suddenly skyrocketed to its peak. Clearly visible, the air around him twisted due to the concentration of his own momentum and strength. His left foot stomped heavily on the ground, and thousands of golden rays instantly burst forth from the Dragonlance.

It was still the same move as the day before, Pointed by Thousands!

He had already mastered this technique, and combined with God Annihilating Shock, its power was imaginable. That’s why he had succeeded with a single strike yesterday.

Looking at Lan Xuanyu’s fierce gaze and feeling the terrifying aura and the same spearmanship as yesterday, Zhou Yicheng’s internal defenses finally collapsed.

From the beginning, he knew that he was unlikely to be a match for this person before him. More importantly, fighting with this person was not training—it was a matter of life and death! He didn’t want to die.

“I surrender!” Zhou Yicheng almost screamed out these three words, his body bursting into silver light as he quickly curled up into a ball.

Thousands of golden lights converged into a thrust, already lifting upward. The golden light swept past with a piercing howl, eventually fading slowly on the protective barrier.

Lan Xuanyu put away his lance, said nothing, and walked straight out.

Zhou Yicheng’s body trembled for a long while, finally letting out a big sigh of relief when he felt that he was unharmed. He even subconsciously touched his head with his dragon claw. Yes, his head was still there.

“Hush—” The first sound of hushing, not knowing where it started from, quickly multiplied, swiftly filling the entire arena.

How embarrassing! What was Zhou Yicheng doing? Surrendering out of fear?

This situation was extremely rare in the history of the Ascending Dragon competition. Those who could enter the competition were the outstanding young generation of the Dragon Clan. Suddenly, a surrender appeared, which was truly like a chicken among cranes.

Even the Dragon Clan True God serving as the judge felt as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly. It was too shameful. It should be noted that the Ascending Dragon competition was broadcast live across the entire Sky Dragon Planet. The Golden Dragon Princess had already become the focus of attention due to her earlier performance, and the broadcast was definitely prioritized here.

At this moment, the Dragon Clan True God even wished Lan Xuanyu would kill this guy. Rather than facing such shame, it would be better to be killed.

And this time, Lan Xuanyu clearly showed mercy. His attacks weren’t even aimed at his opponent. What could be said? Could one say “her” aura was too fierce, and it scared the opponent to the point of wetting himself? Wasn’t that a lack of the will to fight on the opponent’s part? How could such a coward even enter the competition? It was truly shameful.

Lan Xuanyu himself was actually speechless; he hadn’t intended to scare off the opponent at all. He was just using the opponent’s timidity to suppress him comfortably. According to tactics, even if he didn’t kill his opponent, he was supposed to severely injure him. Preparing the stage for Bai Xiuxiu’s next round. But who knew that Zhou Yicheng would act so irrationally and surrender out of fear at the outset.

This was different from Yan Cheng surrendering and offering allegiance during the preliminary rounds. Yan Cheng’s act could be considered as heartfelt allegiance, willing to be a servant. But Zhou Yicheng was of the upper Dragon Clan, and his act was like throwing away the face of the entire upper Dragon Clan!

For a moment, the watching upper echelons of the Dragon Clan were breathing unsteadily, even the Dragon Power Pillar fluctuated. One could imagine the impact of Zhou Yicheng’s surrender.

Zhou Yicheng also walked out of the arena by now. He knew he had caused trouble. Bowing his head, he didn’t dare to lift it, walking to a corner and crouching down like an ostrich.

Boos resounded through the venue. Those upper Dragon Clan members who had been somewhat antagonistic towards Lan Xuanyu for his dragon slaying the day before, were no longer so hostile. Compared to Lan Xuanyu’s act of dragon slaying, this act of voluntary surrender was much more despicable. Such a disgrace to the Dragon Clan might as well be killed. What use was there in keeping him?

Lan Xuanyu, too, felt helpless! He returned to Bai Xiuxiu’s side and the two sat down where they were. Bai Xiuxiu’s opponent for today was non-existent; she won directly without even having to appear.

“I didn’t want it to be like this,” Lan Xuanyu said somewhat helplessly to Bai Xiuxiu.

Bai Xiuxiu chuckled, “You’ve scared a kid! It really shouldn’t have happened.”

“Only tomorrow…” Lan Xuanyu frowned slightly.

Bai Xiuxiu snorted, “You don’t think I can defeat such an opponent, do you?”

Lan Xuanyu immediately smiled, gave her a thumbs up, and then calmly began to absorb Dragon Qi.

On the huge Dragon Power Pillar, the face of Moke Dragon Knight Luo Lan was gloomy and extremely unattractive. He turned his head to Ao Tian Dragon Knight Long Chaoyang beside him and said, “Are these our elites? Lacking even this bit of will to fight? Has the era of peace been too long for them? Such scum, if facing the Douluo Federation’s fleet, wouldn’t they be scared to piss their pants?”

Long Chaoyang’s smile had disappeared, and his eyebrows were tightly knit. “I didn’t expect there would be such upper Dragon Clan members. The face of the upper Dragon Clan has been completely thrown away. Uncle Luo Lan, I think they should be severely punished. Such Dragon Clan members don’t deserve to participate in the Ascending Dragon competition. They don’t even deserve to be dragons.”

Luo Lan nodded deeply in agreement, his gaze falling on Zhou Yicheng cowering in the corner. He snorted angrily and waved his right hand. Immediately, a torrent of Dragon Power swept up, targeting only that corner.

Zhou Yicheng felt a fiercely powerful energy wrapping around his body, and in the next moment, as the sky spun and the earth turned, he was thrown out of the Ascending Dragon Platform.

The hissing stopped, and dragon roars reverberated through the Ascending Dragon Platform in an instant. Even the Dragon Clan members engaged in battle couldn’t help but let out great roars, venting their inner discontent and anger.

Zhou Yicheng tumbled downward, barely managing to control his form with his dragon wings. He really wanted to say, what can I do? I am also helpless! I don’t want to die, is there something wrong with that? Humph, if I’m not allowed to participate, then I won’t. Safety first, always better to prioritize safety.
