Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting-Chapter 1116 - : Bai Xiuxiu’s Tears

Chapter 1116 -1116: Bai Xiuxiu’s Tears

“Um,” as he sensed the excitement in the voice of the Treasure Hunting Beast, Lan Xuanyu’s heart steadied.

Indeed, Sky Dragon Planet was very suitable for his cultivation, but at the same time, it was extremely dangerous. One misstep could lead to total loss. The Ascending Dragon Competition itself was a huge challenge.

It was conceivable that if he ultimately achieved good results, he would certainly attract the attention of the upper echelons of Sky Dragon Planet. Being in the limelight would grant him access to more resources, but it would also place him under intense scrutiny, greatly increasing the possibility of exposure. He had to rack his brains to handle such situations. At the same time, he could not afford too many activities. Otherwise, one wrong move and exposure would spell trouble. He would have to reduce his dragon hunting activities as well.

Now, he could only take one step at a time, being extremely cautious. He did not seek to accomplish much but rather to avoid making mistakes. The longer he stayed here, the smaller the possibility of being discovered and the more stable his identity and status would become.

He believed that the high echelons of the Dragon Clan would definitely send someone to Fenglong City to investigate his situation following recent events.

It was an inevitable outcome; now, it depended on what conclusion the Imperial side could draw. This was where the advantage of having met Moke Dragon Knight Luo Lan became evident. Having a Dragon Knight as a guarantor relatively reduced the dangers.

...

The greatest reason for Dark Devil Dragon Knight Luo Yayuan’s shock was likely because Lan Xuanyu had inadvertently revealed the aura of the Dragon God; they must have felt the Dragon Spirit in the Dragon Realm or possibly seen a vision similar to his own ordeal. This meant that there must be clues related to the Dragon God in the Dragon Realm.

It truly was thrilling! The Dragon Realm—he would visit it no matter what. Sooner or later. Even if he couldn’t this time, he would strive for opportunities in the future.

He was still too weak. If he were also a Super God-level powerhouse, he wouldn’t have so many concerns.

Feeling the rise and surge beneath him from the Ascending Dragon Platform, this was once the super divine weapon of the Dragon God, and in the future, he would also make it his own super divine weapon.

The Dragon Qi on the Ascending Dragon Platform gradually faded as it was absorbed by the group of dragons, during which, several excited dragon roars occurred. Those were the excited dragon roars of some dragons who had achieved breakthroughs or had evolved.

Very few Lower-rank Dragon Clan members could ascend the Ascending Dragon Platform; they were mostly the ones who had accumulated substantial potential combined with some luck. But coming here meant the arrival of an opportunity. Their chances of advancing to Mid-rank Dragon Clan members were actually greater. However, for Mid-rank Dragon Clan members aspiring to become Upper-rank ones, the difficulty was significantly compounded.

Just as it was even harder for an Upper-rank Dragon Clan member to transform into a human. Bloodline was a layer upon layer pressing down; the higher one aimed, the harder it got.

An hour later, the Dragon Qi was depleted, and all magical patterns on the Ascending Dragon Platform also disappeared, turning it into what looked like a stone platform.

Lan Xuanyu opened his eyes, and his bones made a cracking sound. The Dragon Core inside his chest had become recharged. To his surprise, what changed the most was not the enlarged Dragon Core in his chest but the Spirit Dragon Core within his Sea of Spirit.

This Dragon Core had completely turned multicolored, and around the brilliant colors, a faint golden mist seemingly containing a hint of Divine Consciousness Aura appeared.

Although he didn’t know how much his Spiritual Power had increased this time, Lan Xuanyu could assert that the instantaneous glance from the Dragon God had given him a profound impact on his spirit, bringing him many tangled memories. These memories later disappeared. But his aura, from spirit to body, had undergone a transformation.

This feeling was like having endured the Dragon God’s majesty and then absorbing that power into his own body. The transformation in his Spiritual Power was the most apparent.

Standing up, Lan Xuanyu walked towards Bai Xiuxiu, who had also finished her cultivation. Their eyes met, and though it was only a brief time and they could always see each other, there still was a feeling as if they were worlds apart.

Lan Xuanyu took Bai Xiuxiu’s hand on his own initiative. Bai Xiuxiu’s expression changed slightly as she looked into his eyes, but ultimately she said nothing and together they walked toward the edge.

“Lan, are you alright?” Huang Yuanlang had hurried over and asked with concern.

Lan Xuanyu shook his head, “I’m a bit tired. Let’s go back.”

“Alright, alright. Let’s go back,” Huang Yuanlang said somewhat reverently today, as if he couldn’t even understand why he couldn’t face Lan Xuanyu as an equal anymore.

Under the gaze of other upper-rank Dragon Clan members, Lan Xuanyu, Bai Xiuxiu, and Huang Yuanlang transformed into their “Self Bodies” and flew out from the Ascending Dragon Platform, diving downwards.

Bai Xiuxiu did not speak until they got back to their residence. Huang Yuanlang tactfully withdrew. The competition was starting tomorrow, and the drawing of lots would naturally be handled by someone in charge. All they needed to do was show up with their number plates.

“Xuanyu,” Bai Xiuxiu’s eyes reddened instantly as she closed the room door. She had been forcefully suppressing her emotions all this time.

“What’s wrong?” Lan Xuanyu quickly drew her into his arms.

“Let’s, let’s go back. Back to Mother Planet,” Bai Xiuxiu said, choking up.

Lan Xuanyu instantly understood and gently stroked her long hair, “I’m sorry for making you worry.”

Bai Xiuxiu whispered, “Earlier on the Ascending Dragon Platform, when you fell, I really thought we had been discovered. I thought I would lose you forever. Do you know how terrified I was in that moment? And on Sky Dragon Planet, this definitely won’t be the first time we encounter such situations. Xuanyu, I’m not afraid of dying, but I really dislike this constant fear. Do you understand?”

Lan Xuanyu silently nodded, “I understand, I do. I’m sorry, Xiuxiu, it was my fault. I shouldn’t have done that today. If we hadn’t been so conspicuous, maybe…”

“No, no, it’s not that. You did nothing wrong. Doing this brings us greater gains. I can clearly feel the enhanced effects of my bloodline quenching, thanks to the benefits of ascending first. But, rapid growth comes at the cost of constant danger. I heard everything that Dark Devil Dragon Knight said. If you win in the end, it means you will have to go to the Dragon Realm. Then, I won’t even be able to follow you. I’m really afraid that if you go, you’ll never come back.”

Bai Xiuxiu held him tightly, her emotions continuously spilling out.

Lan Xuanyu frowned slightly, unsure of what to say next. Should he give up going to the Dragon Realm?

After a long moment, Lan Xuanyu let out a sigh, “Alright. Xiuxiu, I promise you. This time, I won’t strive for being the champion. I’ll stop once I enter the secondary round, once I have the qualifications to compete for Dragon Knight. I won’t go to the Dragon Realm this time, alright?”

“But, Xiuxiu, you have to understand. It’s not just about us anymore. Our companions are all on Sky Dragon Planet, our plant-based soul beast seniors are here, Tree Elder is here. The benefits this place offers to everyone, even the feedback to Eternal Tree, it’s not something we can just give up. This is the fruit of everyone’s efforts. All I can promise you is that I’ll try my best to keep us safe. But to not take any risks at all, I’m afraid I can’t do that.”

“Do you remember? When we first discovered the secret of the Dragon Source Crystal on Dragon Source Star, who could have anticipated that we would encounter the ambush by the First Seat of Sky Dragon Planet? In this world, danger is truly everywhere. The only way to truly avoid risks is to become strong, genuinely strong. I never want to witness a scene like the one where Teacher Nana perished on Constant Star to save me again. I need to become stronger, stronger than everyone else. I need enough strength to protect you all. Sky Dragon Planet may be my only chance, only here can I truly become such a strong person. So, I really cannot give it up completely.”/
