Chapter 1195: Chapter 1195: Eighteen Dragon Knights Arrive Together

Indeed, the owner of this voice was none other than the First Seat of Sky Dragon Planet, the true number one of the entire Dragon Horse Star System, and the teacher of Qi Tianlong standing before him.

Upon hearing this voice, Qi Tianlong’s expression immediately became excited, as he knelt down on one knee toward the direction of the Silver Light Gate and respectfully saluted, “Master.”

At this moment, all the God-level members of the Dragon Clan present had already stood up. They all knelt down on one knee atop their own Dragon Power Pillars facing the direction of the Silver Light Gate, their faces full of reverence.

A figure stepped out from the light door, with dark red hair draped over his shoulders, and a handsome face that appeared to be only about thirty years old, tall and straight in stature, wearing a faint smile on his face.

The last time Lan Xuanyu saw the Sky Dragon Leader was just a projection, and he had also transformed into human form, but that was a momentary event. What followed was a whirlwind of near death and survival.

At this moment, truly seeing the Sky Dragon Leader again, the complexity of Lan Xuanyu’s feelings could be imagined. This was the person who almost became the murderer of his mother! If there was someone he most wanted to kill on Sky Dragon Planet, it was undoubtedly him.

The Sky Dragon Leader did not emit any powerful aura from his body. On the contrary, he seemed no different from a common person. Smiling, he walked into the Ascending Dragon Platform, yet all eyes naturally focused solely on him.

Following behind the Sky Dragon Leader, the first was the Second Seat Lan Xuanyu had previously seen. He had also inquired about him from Huang Yuanlang.

This Second Seat was none other than the Dawn Dragon Knight Zhong Zhichang, ranked second among the eighteen Dragon Knights, second only to the Sky Dragon Leader in power. In the absence of the Sky Dragon Leader, he was the leader.

Zhong Zhichang followed a step behind the Sky Dragon Leader, and behind him, one by one, the Dragon Knights walked out proudly, some known to Lan Xuanyu and some not. Most importantly, when all figures had emerged, there were precisely eighteen in number.

That is to say, just before the final of the Ascending Dragon Competition was about to commence, all eighteen Dragon Knights of Sky Dragon Planet were present.

It is worth noting that during the previous competitions, the highest number of Dragon Knights who attended was only seven!

The joint appearance of eighteen Dragon Knights filled the entire Ascending Dragon Platform with Dragon Qi. On the surface of the platform, even dragon figures formed from Dragon Qi danced wildly. These were like actual dragon shadows, centering around the eighteen Dragon Knights, flying and dancing across the Ascending Dragon Platform.

Such a grand scene was beyond the imagination of Lan Xuanyu, Qi Tianlong, and even the high-level members of the Dragon Clan present, who all showed faces of surprise. They had never expected that the Ascending Dragon Competition would attract all eighteen Dragon Knights.

Even during the selection competitions for Dragon Knights, having more than eight Dragon Knights participate was already considered highly valued. The Ascending Dragon Competition was generally considered less significant, and seven Dragon Knights was the utmost extent.

The Sky Dragon Leader had also frequently been absent from the Ascending Dragon Competitions. Yet, unexpectedly, not only did he appear today, but all the Dragon Knights also arrived together. Was such a level of importance really necessary for this competition?

Lan Xuanyu was naturally extremely tense, his first thought being that this was targeting him. But he quickly dismissed the idea.

Was it necessary to deploy so many Dragon Knights just to deal with him and Bai Xiuxiu? Certainly not. There were eighteen Dragon Knights, and at least twelve of them were Super God-level powerhouses! At such a level, destroying a star was simply a matter of a wave of a hand. Not to mention dealing with them.

After Qi Tianlong reverently saluted the Sky Dragon Leader, he spoke in a deep voice, “I shall heed Master’s command.”

Then he stood up and solemnly said to Lan Xuanyu, “I accept your wager.”

As he spoke these three words of acceptance, his aura surged instantly, his eyes filled with determination and perseverance. All his emotions were conveying to Lan Xuanyu how desperately he intended to win this competition.

Lan Xuanyu narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded at him.

There was no need for any contract. With eighteen Dragon Knights witnessing everything here, if someone reneged, they would essentially be shunned by the Dragon Clan.

It was evident to everyone that Qi Tianlong’s competitive spirit and momentum had been fully charged up. He could not afford to lose this battle!

But what they did not know was that, at this very moment, Lan Xuanyu’s will to fight was also ignited to its extreme.

If Qi Tianlong lost, the worst that could happen was him becoming a servant. But if Lan Xuanyu lost, he would have to become someone’s wife! How could he do that? He was a man! Therefore, at this moment, the Dragon God’s bloodline within Lan Xuanyu was almost ablaze. Qi Tianlong could not afford to lose this battle, and neither could he.

The Sky Dragon Leader smiled faintly and said, “This battle, regardless of the outcome, will be a splendid tale in our Dragon Clan. Come, everyone, let’s take our seats.”

As he spoke, a huge dark red column of light burst from beneath his feet, soaring into the sky. This column with a diameter well over thirty meters, dwarfed the Dragon Power Pillars of the other Dragon Clan members by who knows how many times. It carried him swiftly upwards, easily stabilizing at a height of over one hundred and fifty meters.

The other Dragon Knights also propelled themselves skyward on their Dragon Power Pillars. Compared to before, the pillars they now conjured were much taller. The Second Seat Dawn Dragon Knight, Zhong Zhichang’s Dragon Power Pillar, was also over a hundred and twenty meters high, with other Dragon Knights’ pillars fluctuating around one hundred meters, each varying in height. It seemed that they were showcasing their true strengths.

With the appearance of these eighteen Dragon Power Pillars, the Ascending Dragon Platform was filled with dragon roars, and in an instant, Dragon Qi soared, and thousands of dragons danced as if returning to the grand scene at the beginning of the Ascending Dragon competition.

Bathed in such Dragon Qi, Lan Xuanyu, Bai Xiuxiu, and Qi Tianlong felt their bloodline power rising to the peak. All three could feel their Cultivation subtly climbing in this environment.

At this time, Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu benefitted immensely, whereas Qi Tianlong frowned slightly. Already at the peak below the God Rank, he could not absorb Dragon Qi any further, or he would begin to break through. Breaking through to God Rank was no easy feat, and how could he compete if he did? Therefore, he had to suppress it, preventing his body from absorbing the extremely rich Dragon Qi.

Once the eighteen Dragon Power Pillars were erected, and the Sky Dragon Leader had taken his seat, the other Dragon Knights followed suit and took their places. After that, the high-ranking officials of the Sky Dragon Alliance also sat down. All eyes were then focused on the trio of Lan Xuanyu.

Despite the attention the competition attracted, in reality, only God-level strong figures were present to watch. Undoubtedly, for the members of the Dragon Clan able to participate in such a competition, it was an extraordinary opportunity. It was an exceptional moment to showcase themselves. Without a doubt, however, under such an atmosphere, the pressure on them was immense.

The reason why eighteen Dragon Knights had gathered together had a lot to do with Lan Xuanyu. It was his qualitative change after absorbing the feedback energy from the Ascending Dragon Platform that sparked a major discussion among the Dragon Knights.

Without a doubt, including the Sky Dragon Leader, every Dragon Knight hoped to absorb such energy feedback from the Ascending Dragon Platform to enable their bloodline to have the possibility of evolving.

However, who should attempt it became an issue.

No one knew how much of the Seven-Colored Energy the Ascending Dragon Platform could feedback. Given the Dragon Knights’ Ultra Divine-level Cultivation, the energy they needed to absorb for bloodline evolution would be astronomical. Therefore, it was quite possible that the first person who tried to absorb all the feedback energy would deplete it, leaving nothing for those who tried later.

This was a situation no Dragon Knight wanted to face. Regardless of their internal status within the Dragon Knights, not even the Sky Dragon Leader could dictate who should try first and who should try later.
