“This reckless girl, how can she be so irrational?”
The Dragon Clan Chief’s brows furrowed deeply. He was so tense that cold sweat poured down his face. His peripheral vision kept darting towards the Holy Light Clan. Although he tried hard to conceal it, a flicker of fear still shone in his eyes.
He had always gone to great lengths to hide the fact that Long Xiaoxiao had obtained the Dragon Vein Source.
He feared that if the Holy Light Clan learned of her special nature, they would see her as a threat and move against the Dragon Clan.
Long Xiaoxiao had been very obedient, always concealing the power of the Dragon Vein Source. Even in moments of crisis, she had hardly ever released it.
Yet now, she had actually unleashed the power of the Dragon Vein Source right in front of the Holy Light Clan. This was practically pushing the entire Dragon Clan to the brink of annihilation.
“This girl is actually this powerful.”
However, compared to the Dragon Clan Chief’s worry, the others who saw the dragon horns above Long Xiaoxiao’s head had completely different reactions.
Shock surged through the hearts and across the faces of many people.
Even Holy Light Yu’s gaze towards Long Xiaoxiao changed in a particular way.
Moreover, even the arrogant black-clothed youth began to view Long Xiaoxiao with new respect.
“Interesting. Truly interesting.”
“I never would have imagined that you, girl, were holding back such a trump card.”
“Using bloodline power to consecutively raise your cultivation by two ranks. You are no ordinary girl.”
“And this aura. Could it be that you are a descendant of the dragon race?”
“Girl, by showing your full strength, you have made me start to look forward to this otherwise boring competition.”
The black-clothed youth appeared extremely excited at this moment.
“So much nonsense.”
“Die!!!”
However, Long Xiaoxiao had no desire to waste words with him. At this point, an aura like that of a true dragon flowed around her entire body. Not only had her cultivation risen, her battle power had also increased tremendously.
When she leaped forward, the void shattered wherever she passed.
Facing such a Long Xiaoxiao, the black-clothed youth did not dare to be careless. Black patterns appeared on his body, followed by black flames surging from within. His cultivation instantly rose from eighth-rank Sovereign to ninth-rank Sovereign.
As expected, the black-clothed youth also possessed means to elevate his cultivation.
Only, his method appeared somewhat eerie. For a moment, it was hard to tell whether this was bloodline power or some special technique.
It was worth noting that, as the black-clothed youth raised his cultivation, a black longspear also appeared in his hand.
That was a half-complete Venerable armament, and one of exceptional quality.
Just as the black-clothed youth finished elevating his cultivation, Long Xiaoxiao had already closed in.
Boom, boom, boom, boom.
Bursts of rumbling exploded once more. The two had engaged in combat again.
Only this time, the ripples stirred up by their renewed clash were several times more ferocious than before.
The scene was many times more intense than previously.
It was simply a battle on a different level.
“Who would have thought that the princess of the Dragon Clan was hiding so much strength?”
“The prediction of Nian Tian Daoist is truly remarkable.”
“Although Chu Feng has disappointed people, who could have expected Long Xiaoxiao to bring such a huge surprise? In my view, even if that Chu Feng is not dead, he could not possibly be Long Xiaoxiao’s match.”
“Impossible. Absolutely impossible. Of course Chu Feng could not be her opponent.”
“This Long Xiaoxiao is too strong. Although that Chu Feng is also quite extraordinary, he could not possibly be more powerful than her.”
People praised Long Xiaoxiao’s performance endlessly, full of admiration.
Because at this moment, the black-clothed youth had not only raised his cultivation but had also drawn his half-complete Venerable armament.
Yet their duel remained evenly matched.
This was enough to show how terrifying Long Xiaoxiao’s true strength was.
Many even felt that Long Xiaoxiao could defeat the black-clothed youth.
However, just as this thought arose in people’s minds, the previously balanced fight began to tilt. The black-clothed youth’s attacks grew increasingly fierce, while Long Xiaoxiao started to struggle.
Not long after, a streak of cold light flashed by, followed by a spray of blood.
Long Xiaoxiao’s left shoulder had been directly pierced by the black longspear in the black-clothed youth’s hand.
“I told you, girl. If I make a move, blood will definitely be drawn.”
“So do not blame me. You brought this on yourself.”
After saying this, the black-clothed youth swung his longspear violently. A massive boom rang out.
Long Xiaoxiao was hurled from mid-air and crashed heavily onto the peak.
“Damn it.”
Although her left shoulder had been pierced clean through by the black-clothed youth, leaving a bloody hole, Long Xiaoxiao had no intention of admitting defeat. Instead, she immediately stood up, ready to fight again.
Buzz.
But just as she rose, a formation power suddenly appeared and enveloped her. Then, that formation power carried Long Xiaoxiao down to the area below the peak.
Seeing this, the previously excited realm fell silent.
Everyone knew that the formation power of the Storm Fighting Dragon Platform had forcibly teleported Long Xiaoxiao down.
The outcome of this duel was decided.
One could say that the outcome of this strongest junior hegemony competition was decided.
“Damn it.”
Upon reaching the area below the peak, Long Xiaoxiao looked up at the peak above. The stubbornness on her small face let people know she was far from convinced.
Yet she no longer had any way to return to the peak.
Pfft.
Immediately after, a large mouthful of blood sprayed from her mouth. She began coughing violently, and with each cough, more blood surged out.
Soon, she grew so weak that she could not even stand steadily and collapsed.
Seeing this, Yu Lie, Yin Daifen, and others hurried forward to help treat her injuries.
Although they had been eliminated and could only stand below the peak, they had clearly seen everything happening above.
They knew Long Xiaoxiao had been severely wounded by the black-clothed youth.
However, only after they began treating her did they suddenly realise how grave her injuries were. The wound on her shoulder refused to heal.
The black-clothed youth had damaged Long Xiaoxiao’s soul, and the damage was extremely severe.
“That guy is far too ruthless.”
“How could he be so vicious to a young girl?”
“Damn it, are you even human?”
Many people began to complain.
The hot-tempered Bao Yue and Kui Wudi even shouted curses at the black-clothed youth from below the peak.
Yet the black-clothed youth paid no attention to Bao Yue, Kui Wudi, and the others. Instead, he flew down and stood atop the peak.
However, his gaze did not turn towards those below the peak. He raised his head and looked into the void above.
As he did so, everyone’s expressions changed.
Because the direction the black-clothed youth was looking was precisely where the Holy Light Clan’s army was located.
He was clearly trapped within this world, yet he seemed to know exactly where the Holy Light Clan was.
“Let me be frank.”
“I am not from the Holy Light Galaxy.”
“I came here today simply to prove one thing to you.”
“The people here are truly too weak. I do not mean to look down on you, but reading my name backwards is indeed the most accurate description of you all.”
As the black-clothed youth spoke these words, his face was full of mockery.
His statement immediately caused an uproar.
He was not from the Holy Light Galaxy.
He had even taken a name like “You lot are all trash” to insult the people of the Holy Light Galaxy.
And these words were spoken while looking directly at the Holy Light Clan.
This was blatant, naked provocation!!!
At this moment, billions of gazes across the vast realm involuntarily turned towards the Holy Light Clan.
They felt that, as the rulers of the Holy Light Galaxy, being humiliated like this, the Holy Light Clan would never let it slide.
As people of the Holy Light Galaxy, they also hoped the Holy Light Clan would step forward and uphold the galaxy’s honour.
Yet the black-clothed youth was a junior. If the Holy Light Clan attacked directly, even if they taught him a lesson, they would still invite criticism.
Actually, the best approach would be for a junior from the Holy Light Clan to fight and defeat the black-clothed youth. Then, he would have nothing to say.
Clearly, the only one capable of facing the black-clothed youth now was Holy Light Yu.
Thus, most gazes actually focused on Holy Light Yu.
“What an arrogant fellow. When he comes out, I will teach him a lesson.”
Feeling the expectations of the crowd, Holy Light Yu was already prepared to battle the black-clothed youth.
As for the black-clothed youth, he continued facing the Holy Light Clan, a confident smile on his lips.
His posture suggested he was also awaiting a fight with a junior from the Holy Light Clan.
The others were similarly anticipating it.
Therefore, their gazes fixed on the Storm Fighting Dragon Platform, waiting for its boundary to disappear.
As soon as the boundary vanished, Holy Light Yu could engage him in combat.
Yet time passed, and in the blink of an eye, a full hour had gone by. Not only was the boundary of the Storm Fighting Dragon Platform perfectly intact, the world within it remained unchanged.
The boundary showed no signs of opening.
