Supreme Electromagnetic Tyrant-Chapter 667 - 415: Gathering of Geniuses_2

"I’ve reached Legendary Second Dan," Ji Xinghuo revealed a bit.

"So soon!"

Cheng Sheng was taken aback, he remembered that it had been just over half a year since Ji Xinghuo advanced to Legendary, and now he had risen from First Dan to Second Dan. However, he could sense that Ji Xinghuo’s increase in strength was far more than just a change in rank.

"Xinghuo, how certain are you about advancing into the top ten in the Destructive Dragon Festival this time?"

Ji Xinghuo responded, "My goal is first place."

"Ah?"

Cheng Sheng was stunned for a moment, but seeing Ji Xinghuo’s serious face, he realized it was no joke and his expression also grew solemn, "That’s going to be immensely difficult!"

He explained, "Ever since the Titanium Cobalt Family released the news that getting into the top ten would offer a chance to become the Dragon Lord, almost half of the True Dragon Dynasty was in an uproar. Countless Legendary warriors have rushed to Titanium Ring City, where a random stone thrown in the street could hit a Legendary."

"The city hall in Titanium Ring City announces the latest data daily."

"As of yesterday, the number of participants registered for the Destructive Dragon Festival has already exceeded 150,000."

"These 150,000 people are almost all Legendary warriors!"

Cheng Sheng sighed, "There aren’t even 4,000 Legendary warriors on our Earth, and most of them possess mediocre talent and average strength. The number who might enter the top ten thousand in the Destructive Dragon Festival might not even reach ten."

"Cheng Sheng, how many do you think you can get into?" Ji Xinghuo asked with a light and smiling face.

"I’m aiming for the top one hundred."

That’s what Cheng Sheng said, though he wasn’t very confident in his heart.

He stood up, "Senior Hu Lan will surely be very happy to see you’ve grown stronger too. Let’s go and see her now."

The two mounted the Steel Blade Dragon and soared into the sky.

Upon entering Upper Titanium Ring City and coming to Titanium Cobalt Lan’s estate for the second time, they met Titanium Cobalt Lan atop the tower-like building.

"Eh?"

At the first sight of Ji Xinghuo, Titanium Cobalt Lan expressed surprise, "You’ve gained a lot on Black Ring Star. Even I can hardly see through you now."

"Senior," Ji Xinghuo greeted respectfully.

In his heart he chuckled; there might be people in this world who could see through him, but it definitely wasn’t something a Heavenly King could accomplish.

"Let’s all sit," Titanium Cobalt Lan said indifferently as she watched Ji Xinghuo and Cheng Sheng take their seats opposite her, "I’ve already registered you, but the competition in this Destructive Dragon Festival is fiercer than ever before, and many geniuses from various dynasties have arrived."

"Cheng Sheng must have told you, right?"

Ji Xinghuo nodded.

"According to the previous objective, you need to enter the top ten for me to have a reason to retrieve the Titanium Cobalt Dragon Body from the Dragon King," Titanium Cobalt Lan said, "But given the current situation, I can relax the condition a bit; getting into the top thirty will be enough."

A thought flashed through Ji Xinghuo’s mind.

Clearly, Titanium Cobalt Lan had paid a price within her family for him to be able to obtain the Titanium Cobalt Dragon Body.

"Senior, I will do my best," he said earnestly.

Titanium Cobalt Lan gave him a look and suddenly asked, "Does the death of Rock King Ke have anything to do with you?"

Ah?

The conversation had been going smoothly, so why bring up Rock King Ke all of a sudden? Ji Xinghuo felt a bit guilty, yet his face showed a puzzled expression, "Why would you think that, Senior? Rock King Ke died in the Silent Wilderness when I was in the Deep Chasm of Scorch Marks."

"Is that so?" Titanium Cobalt Lan’s gaze was profound, "How do you know he died in the Silent Wilderness?"

"Anyone on Black Ring Star during the recent times would have heard about it," Ji Xinghuo explained without changing his expression.

If he pretended not to know who Rock King Ke was, that would be too suspicious.

Titanium Cobalt Lan was doubtful.

In fact, she had just asked casually and didn’t have any real suspicion of Ji Xinghuo; it just felt a bit too coincidental.

"It’s best if it’s unrelated to you," Titanium Cobalt Lan didn’t pursue it further.

Cheng Sheng beside him was utterly bewildered; he knew nothing about the events on Black Ring Star, although he had heard of the name Rock King Ke. Listening to their conversation, Rock King Ke had died?

Ji Xinghuo inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.

Even though Titanium Cobalt Lan wasn’t there to accuse him, and even if he had admitted it, she most likely would not have exposed him, a woman’s intuition is indeed mystifying, suspecting him right on meeting, and she’d guessed correctly!

Titanium Cobalt Lan held out a thick stack of documents that floated over.

"Take a look."

Ji Xinghuo caught them; the documents were made of a paper-like material, printed and bound on the planet before being brought into the Star Realm. Flipping it open, he saw that every page was filled with information about the competitors of the Destructive Dragon Festival, including photographs.

"This is the information of the thousand strongest or most renowned competitors in this Destructive Dragon Festival," explained Titanium Cobalt Lan.

"Thank you, senior," Ji Xinghuo expressed his gratitude.

Knowing the enemy and knowing yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles.

The True Dragon Dynasty was full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons, teeming with geniuses. Even though he was confident that he could have the last laugh, there was still a chance of capsizing in the gutter.

With this information, he was even more assured.

Ji Xinghuo’s attention was quickly captivated by the content on the first page. The photograph depicted a pseudo-dragon male with a stern face and a pair of large, curved dragon horns on his head, gazing at the camera with calm, indifferent, yet dominating eyes.

His name, written in the profile, was "Guxing Li," a pseudo-dragon from the Frost Wave Territory of the Bibo Dragon Domain.

Guxing Li’s occupation was "Legion"!

"Masses" evolved into "Commander", possessing numerous avatars, each controlled and mutually amplified in strength by his command, giving him the advantage in numbers as well as unified will, making one person an army.

Guxing Li was Legendary Second Dan and had a considerable reputation throughout the True Dragon Dynasty.

He had once defeated a Heavenly King Second Dan competitor with just one avatar, and his number of avatars was said to be at least sixteen!

In the Bibo Dragon Domain, Guxing Li was hailed as the top among legendaries.

His strength surpassed the vast majority of Heavenly Kings.

Furthermore, some believed that Guxing Li had more hope than many famous Sixth Rank Dragon Lords in one day assaulting the title of Shepherd Star Saint.

Joining the Destructive Dragon Festival this time, Guxing Li was set on victory, favored by many people.

"I’ve met him."

Cheng Sheng, who was next to him and saw the profile, said, "Last month in Lower Titanium Ring City, I faced one of Guxing Li’s avatars. He is really strong. Although it was just his avatar, I felt I was no match for him."

Ji Xinghuo nodded and continued flipping through the profiles.

The second competitor was a True Dragon Race person.

Titanium Cobalt Zhenhe, Legendary Second Dan, was a top genius among the younger generation of the Titanium Cobalt Family, just like Titanium Cobalt Lan, possessing the Titanium Cobalt Dragon.

"Isn’t this Titanium Cobalt Zhenhe already a True Dragon?" Ji Xinghuo asked curiously.

"Zhenhe is participating in the Destructive Dragon Festival just to prove his strength," Titanium Cobalt Lan replied, "If he gets into the top ten, he will not occupy a spot for becoming a Dragon Lord. Many Dragon Lords will participate this time; you’ll see them."

Ji Xinghuo nodded.

On this information, the first dozen competitors were the ones with the highest calls for the championship.

Half of them were True Dragon people and already possessed True Dragons.

The occupations of the others were one stronger than the last, most possessing powerful racial talents. Before even registering, they had significant renown and records of defeating or even killing Heavenly Kings, gathering nearly half of the True Dragon Dynasty’s legendary talents.

Although they were all legendary, each was undoubtedly a future contender for the titles of Dragon King and Shepherd Star Saint.

Ji Xinghuo felt all right about it.

As Cheng Sheng looked through the profiles, he shook his head; he felt he couldn’t defeat any of the top dozen competitors.

It was only after flipping through nearly a hundred profiles that he felt assured he could win.

"Bifeng Yuji." Ji Xinghuo came across a familiar name.

"You know him?" Cheng Sheng asked in surprise.

"When I was on Black Ring Star, I ran into this person; he was quite strong," Ji Xinghuo casually commented.

Quite strong...

Cheng Sheng glanced at the information for Bifeng Yuji and fell silent. This Star Armor Master’s strength wasn’t simple; in Ji Xinghuo’s eyes, it was just "quite strong"?

Ji Xinghuo read faster and faster, finishing the information of more than a thousand people in just over half an hour. If he did not have to consider Cheng Sheng, the time could have been halved; after finishing, he returned the documents to Titanium Cobalt Lan, as they could not be taken away.

Titanium Cobalt Lan then shared some insider details about this Destructive Dragon Festival and the situation within the Spiritual Illusion Realm before letting the two leave.

Back in Lower Titanium Ring City, Ji Xinghuo entered the Martial Arts Arena.
