Chapter 1174: Chapter 1174: Advancing to the Final Stage

Then he discovered that his Dragon Power Refining had started anew. Yes, it had started all over again.

All the progress he had made in Body Refining seemed to have completely vanished. Everything was being redone from scratch.

Discovering such a change, Lan Xuanyu was not alarmed but elated because it meant that the initial quenching had already been completed after this round of Dragon Power consolidation. Being able to temper a second time indicated that his Dragon Power was sufficiently strong now. This would undoubtedly lay the foundation for his future advancement!

As he indulged in Condensing spirit Body Refining, he quickly entered a state where he was lost to both self and the outside world.

Sitting by his side was Bai Xiuxiu, who discovered, to her amazement, that Lan Xuanyu was emitting a faint pleasant fragrance, his body enveloped in Seven-colored light rays that radiated from within and flashed intermittently. Just by sitting next to him, Bai Xiuxiu could clearly feel her own bloodline stirring, filled with an excited warmth throughout her body, almost as if she wanted to fling herself into his arms.

This rascal… was he doing this on purpose?

Bai Xiuxiu’s pretty face blushed as she quickly dismissed the flirty thoughts from her mind, condensing her spirit to drive her bloodline power and quietly carry on her Cultivation.

Today, she had also benefited quite a bit. She had a tough victory in the competition and then had been waiting for Lan Xuanyu to emerge. Once the competition ended, others left, but she had a good reason to stay. After all, four Dragon Knights were present! Moreover, these four knights, fearing that Lan Xuanyu might lack energy during his evolution, were continually releasing their Dragon Qi.

Naturally, Lan Xuanyu was reaping the benefits, and Bai Xiuxiu, outside, was also absorbing the Dragon Qi, amassing a great deal of it.

Now, cultivating by Lan Xuanyu’s side, being induced by his Dragon God’s bloodline, the Dragon Qi surged, making her Cultivation progress at a rapid pace—akin to a thousand miles in a day.

The round-robin competition passed to the sixth round, and the situation for advancing was basically clear, especially the competition for the top spot in each group, which no longer held any mystery.

Until the round-robin competition was over, what remained the most eagerly discussed was that earth-shattering, intense battle. The Golden Dragon Princess fought Xu Yanmo, ultimately triumphing through her indomitable will. This victory, where she won through sheer resilience rather than overpowering strength, was even more heart-stirring. In this Ascending Dragon competition, the Golden Dragon Princess undoubtedly became the most dazzling star.

Under the deliberate promotion of the Sky Dragon Alliance, she had become an idol for the new generation, not just the idol of the Dragon Clan, but of the entire Sky Dragon Planet. Her fame was unparalleled for a time.

In the last three rounds of the round-robin competition, the opponents Lan Xuanyu faced were significantly weaker than Xu Yanmo. Plus, with his previously dominant performance, he basically won with ease. Bai Xiuxiu also progressively showcased her strength. Continuous improvement secured her a spot in the Third Combat Zone. Although she lost another match later on, in the last round, Lan Xuanyu intentionally held back and conceded defeat to her, allowing her to finish with a record of seven wins and two losses, second only to the records of eight wins and one loss by Lan Xuanyu and Xu Yanmo.

By virtue of their head-to-head records, Lan Xuanyu qualified as the top contender from the Third Combat Zone, followed by Xu Yanmo and Bai Xiuxiu in second and third place, respectively. The three of them advanced to the finals.

Other groups also saw strong competitors emerge, and the most outstanding, God Rank or below members of the Dragon Clan, will enter the final competition after a five-day rest period.

During these days, Lan Xuanyu was rigorously practicing his Cultivation. Except for the time spent competing, he was almost entirely devoted to performing Dragon Power Refining.

He finally realized the benefits of cultivating with abundant Dragon Power. These days, he no longer needed to worry about finding Dragon Power. The consumption speed of the Seven-color Dragon Power Liquid in his body was slow, yet his Body Refining progress improved significantly. This was the true Cultivation energy that belonged to him.

After the battle with Xu Yanmo, Lan Xuanyu’s Divine Dragon Armor and Dragonlance were nearly beyond repair. He had initially planned to nurture them back to health using his own strength. However, Luo Lan, the Moke Dragon Knight, had Huang Daoqi send him a new set of Divine Dragon Armor and an entirely new Dragonlance.

This Divine Dragon Armor was still a strength-oriented set from the Mountain Dragon King, but it was made from a different part of the Mountain Dragon King’s skeleton, using even more refined dragon bones. In particular, the dragon head heart-protecting mirror on the chest was made from the skull of the Mountain Dragon King and included some special effects.

The Dragonlance had reached the caliber of a true Artifact, crafted from the rib of the Mountain Dragon King. Of course, saying it was an Artifact means it barely crossed the threshold into that category. There was still a substantial gap between it and Lan Xuanyu’s Golden Dragon Spear.

Luo Lan had Huang Daoqi tell Lan Xuanyu to give his all in striving for victory and aim for the championship.

Defeating Xu Yanmo hadn’t caused the Dragon Knights to pay much attention. However, the ability to trigger the energy within the Ascending Dragon Platform caused quite a stir among the higher-ups of the Sky Dragon Alliance. Even the First Seat of Sky Dragon Planet took notice of the matter. After discussion, they decided that after the completion of the Ascending Dragon Contest, the Dragon Knights would undertake similar trials, which Lan Xuanyu was yet unaware.

After the round-robin ended, a five-day rest followed. During this period, Lan Xuanyu underwent a transformation akin to shedding his old self.

The second instance of Dragon Power Refining was faster than the first. With ample Dragon God Energy as a backup, there was no need to worry about recovery issues, and the Body Refining process was incredibly rapid. Lan Xuanyu’s cultivation also surged dramatically. He vaguely felt that he was approaching the critical point, which is the brink of a Soul Master Seventh Ring.

His own seven rings were already completely different from that of an average Soul Master. But the closer he got to this critical point, the more Xuanyu felt the need for a deeper accumulation of strength.

Having undergone Dragon Power Refining and reaped the benefits from the Ascending Dragon Platform, he knew that if he were to break through on the Ascending Dragon Platform with ample energy to support him, he would stand a great chance of ascending to the God Rank as long as he did not succumb to devilish possession. It would be an opportunity for him to reach the heavens in one step.

At the same time, he also understood that this breakthrough would mean the complete fusion of Gold-striped Bluegrass and Silver Patterned Blue Silver Grass. The previous breakthroughs, merely for raising cultivation, were already fraught with the risk of collapse. The difficulty and danger of this next breakthrough would probably be greater than all six previous ones combined. Without sufficient accumulation, he would never dare to attempt it lightly. It would be suicidal.

Therefore, even if he was nearing the critical point, he was not at all eager but strived for substantial buildup before unleashing his power.

Heavy windows opened inward, and looking out from the window, the rising sun gradually ascended on the distant horizon.

There were no tall buildings within Ascending Dragon City, so for Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu, training their Purple Demon Eyes did not require leaving the room; simply pushing open the window would suffice.

A rainbow halo around Lan Xuanyu’s body had just retracted back into him. After seven continuous days of cultivation, he had finally fully refined the energy absorbed from the Ascending Dragon Pillar.

He felt as if he had undergone a rebirth. He was quite certain that if he were to face Xu Yanmo again, he would not end up as bedraggled as he was that day. This was a qualitative leap.

His last breakthrough was within the Eternal Tree, where he absorbed a huge amount of the tree’s essence and completed the six rings breakthrough with Tang Wulin’s help. That breakthrough had been somewhat hasty, far from enough accumulation. It was only by relying on the copious essence of the Eternal Tree and Tang Wulin’s assistance that the forced breakthrough was accomplished.

Lan Xuanyu had known at the time that a subsequent breakthrough would require a very long, very long time of accumulation. Possibly three to five years, or even longer, depending on the amount of cultivation resources he could secure.

It was with such hope that they came to Sky Dragon Planet. And everything turned out to be much more wonderful than he had imagined. Not only did he secure heaven-defying treasures, but he also acquired cultivation resources beyond his wildest dreams. The method of Tempering with Dragon Power completely transformed his usual cultivation regime. Coupled with the aid of God Destruction Thunder for refinement, his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds. Not only had he consolidated the breakthrough at six rings, but in just a few months, he had reached the verge of Six-ring Peak and was on the cusp of advancing to seven rings. Before, such progress would have been unthinkable.
