Lan Xuanyu said, âI didnât expect it to have such an effect either, but the benefits of fighting on the Rising Dragon Platform are even greater than I imagined. Letâs postpone the dragon hunting for now to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
All of you sit down cross-legged. Iâll give you some energy to help you temper your bodies.
During the Rising Dragon Competition, you should stay here and cultivate. Iâll bring you energy regularly.â
As he spoke, he released the Treasure Seeking Beast and infused the dragon energy he had obtained from the Rising Dragon Platform into it.
After being converted by the Treasure Seeking Beast, different types of energy flowed into everyoneâs bodies. Lan Xuanyu had absorbed a large amount of dragon energy from the platform. Since he was competing every day, he could constantly absorb it, but he didnât have enough time to convert and temper it all by himself. Sharing some with his companions not only prevented waste but also allowed everyone to cultivate without needing to hunt dragons.
Previously, the problem had been the lack of suitable Dragon Force to temper his body, forcing him to consider hunting Higher Dragons. Now the situation was the oppositeâthe dragon energy was so abundant that even his dragon core could barely store it all, and he was worried it might go to waste.
Soon, the five companionsâwho had already fully absorbed the energy from their previous body temperingâentered a meditative state. With their earlier experience, the process of tempering their bodies again became much easier. As their physical strength increased, the damage caused by burning their bloodlines would also decrease.
Lan Xuanyu himself did not begin body tempering. Instead, he quietly released his spiritual power, which now carried faint signs of Divine Sense, and sensed the changes in the surrounding environment.
About an hour later, everyone had basically finished their body tempering.
âWhat incredibly pure energy! It actually repaired the injuries caused by burning my bloodline. The effect is much better than before. I think my soul power has even increased by a level,â Yuanen Huihui said excitedly.
Lan Xuanyu nodded.
âThatâs the benefit of the Rising Dragon Platform. So weâll continue participating in the Rising Dragon Competition. Donât stop cultivatingâcontinue meditating and fully digest the benefits from the body tempering. Tomorrow Iâll bring you more energy. Iâll head back now to absorb and refine mine as well.â
After saying that, Lan Xuanyu waved to his companions. A flash of silver light appeared, and he left through the teleportation formation.
When Lan Xuanyu returned to his residence, Huang Yuanlang had not come back yet.
Clearly, he had been pushed to a later position in the competition by the other Higher Dragons. He didnât have the same level of prestige as Lan Xuanyu.
Bai Xiuxiu was still in meditation. Lan Xuanyu sat beside her and silently began burning his own bloodline to temper his body.
After arriving in Rising Dragon City, in just a few days the effect of tempering his body with Dragon Force had already surpassed what months of cultivation could achieve before.
Especially after witnessing the Dragon Godâs backward glance, he had felt a kind of spiritual elevation.
Moreover, the connection between him and the Rising Dragon Platform had only been established after he witnessed that moment.
Could it be that this was an opportunity left behind for him by the Dragon God?
But the Dragon God had died long ago.
Of the Dragon Godâs two great incarnations, the Golden Dragon King had already died, its essence absorbed by Uncle Le.
The Silver Dragon KingâTeacher Nanaâwas still in slumber.
Could it be that the Dragon Godâs will had not dissipated even after splitting into incarnations? Or perhaps the Dragon God had once been so powerful that even the projection left behind still possessed immense influence?
Gradually, the thoughts in Lan Xuanyuâs mind faded away.
Inside his body, multicolored flames quietly spread, silently burning through his bodyâremoving impurities and strengthening his physique.
For them, this kind of cultivation was simply wonderful.
The third dayâs match was just as easy.
Both Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu drew Intermediate Dragons as their opponents.
Lan Xuanyuâs opponent was even slightly weaker than Yu Jiu, the Azure-Blue Elephant Dragon he had fought earlier. Under the pressure of Lan Xuanyuâs dragon might, the opponent had no effective way to resist. The suppression of bloodline power was simply too strong. An Intermediate Dragon could not even display its true strength.
Lan Xuanyu won easily.
Bai Xiuxiuâs opponent was somewhat stronger than her previous one, but only slightly. Without attribute suppression this time, she relied on her combat skills to secure a relatively easy victory.
Three battles, three victories.
Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu successfully advanced into the Top-100 Round-Robin Stage.
After entering the round-robin stage, they would have three days of rest.
This was because the elimination rounds for the Intermediate and Lower Dragons involved more than three matches. They had to fight fiercely for the limited round-robin slots available to them.
Entering the round-robin stage essentially meant completing the Ascending Dragon trial, and such places were extremely precious.
Therefore, the fiercest battles would only begin after the Higher Dragons had already secured their spots.
Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu had no need to concern themselves with those fights.
Lan Xuanyu distributed some of the dragon energy he had absorbed during the third battle to his companions. At the same time, he and Bai Xiuxiu used the opportunity to enter a three-day closed-door cultivation to improve and stabilize their strength.
For the two of them, the improvement was obviousâtheir power seemed to increase with each passing day.
Bai Xiuxiu cultivated beside Lan Xuanyu. Influenced by the aura of his bloodline, her cultivation advanced rapidly. Such a speed of improvement was something she had never even dared to imagine before.
Time always passed quickly during cultivation, and three days flew by in the blink of an eye.
When the two finished their secluded cultivation, they noticed a message left by Huang Yuanlang.
He had asked them to contact him immediately after they came out of seclusion.
Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu washed up first before calling Huang Yuanlang.
âYouâre finally out of seclusion! How was your cultivation?â Huang Yuanlang asked with concern.
Lan Xuanyu replied, âIt went well. Brother Huang, whatâs the matter? Your message sounded urgent.â
âIf itâs convenient, Iâll come over now to find you. It really is something important,â Huang Yuanlang said without hesitation.
âAlright,â Lan Xuanyu replied.
Before long, there was a knock on the door.
Without even looking, Lan Xuanyu could sense Huang Yuanlang standing outside. He opened the door, and Huang Yuanlang walked in quickly with a wide smile.
âMy two virtuous sisters, youâve really put me to shame! Compared to you, Iâm far too lazy. Of course⊠that also has something to do with talent. If only I had talent like yours.â
Huang Yuanlang spoke with a cheerful expression.
Bai Xiuxiu glanced at Lan Xuanyu before asking, âBrother Huang, you seem very happy. Did something good happen? You must have entered the round-robin stage too, right?â
Huang Yuanlang nodded.
âYes, but I donât have much hope in the later rounds. Reaching the finals is impossible for meâthatâs beyond my ability.
My father asked me to bring you some good things. Our family has decided to support you at all costs.â
âHm?â Bai Xiuxiu looked at him in surprise. âYour family has already given us tremendous support. How else could you support us?â
Huang Yuanlang smiled.
âOf courseâby providing various cultivation resources. That day, didnât the Darkfiend Dragon Knight say that if Lan wins the championship, she will be given a chance to enter the Dragon Realm?
You should know that even for god-level experts among us, entering the Dragon Realm is extremely difficult.
They can only enter once when they first break through to the god level. Unless they break through again to the True God level, they cannot enter a second time. Only the Dragon Knights can freely enter and leave the Dragon Realm.
So allowing Lan to enter the Dragon Realm is already an exception. Nothing like this has ever happened in previous Rising Dragon Competitions. It shows how highly the Dragon Knights value her.
After I reported this matter to my father, he took it very seriously. Our family has decided to go all out in providing cultivation resources for you.
If Lan ultimately wins the championship, she will have a much greater chance of becoming a Dragon Knight in the future.
A few days ago, I specifically returned home. My father consulted the clan elders and allowed me to bring some valuable items for you.
Theyâre all the treasures our family has been keeping hidden away.â
