The Rising Dragon Competition entered the fifth round of the round-robin stage. By this point, the matches had reached a fever pitch. The intensity of the battles had clearly escalated. Those who aid for the top three had to start going all out from this round onward; otherwise, catching up in the standings would beco difficult.
No matter how clever the pre-match tactics were, strength remained the foundation of everything. The powerhouses in each group began to bare their fangs, fighting with all their might for victory.
Still, no Dragon Knights ca to observe today. To the esteed Dragon Knights, the round-robin stage was not yet worthy of their attention. Only during the true finals would the prodigies who might one day beco Dragon Knights take the stage. Those were the ones they needed to watch.
In the third combat zone, Lan Xuanyu was still the first to appear. His opponent today was very strong. In their group, aside from Xu Yanmo, this opponent was rated as the second-strongest in Huang Yuanlang's records and was one of the most significant obstacles to their advancent.
This opponent currently had a record of three wins and one loss, having lost only to Xu Yanmo. In that match, he had conceded halfway through, clearly a strategic forfeit to avoid a full-force confrontation with Xu Yanmo.
Hu Hongyu was a Prismatic Five-Elent Dragon, mysterious and powerful. He possessed a very unique ability, resembling light attributes but sohow different. According to Huang Yuanlang's information, his ability was sowhat similar to Tang Yuge's Five-Elent Qilin. However, because he relied on his own powerful dragon body, his attributes were probably inferior to Tang Yuge's, but when combined with his physique, his combat prowess was still extrely terrifying.
Lan Xuanyu even felt that if Tang Yuge absorbed this one's life energy, she might evolve without needing filtration. Moreover, Lan Xuanyu also saw this na on the Anti-Dragon Alliance's list. It could be said that in the future, this individual was already on his must-kill list.
Hu Hongyu appeared as a burly, strong man, but his eyes were small. On his brow was a five-colored scale, a mark of his uniqueness.
Even before the match began, his eyes were fixed intently on Lan Xuanyu. His match against Xu Yanmo had been in the second round, when Lan Xuanyu had not yet fully displayed his formidable strength. In his group, Hu Hongyu had set his goal as second place. The only match he felt uncertain about was against Xu Yanmo. But he had not expected this "Lan" to burst onto the scene, posing a considerable threat to him. He could not afford to lose today; he had to fight with all his might for victory. If he could defeat "Lan," he would almost certainly secure a spot in the top three.
In terms of talent, he was also well-known among the younger generation. Although his five attributes could not function independently and had to be broken down and recombined based on light, complenting each other to be effective, it was still an extrely rare gift among dragons.
Hu Hongyu hailed from a wild dragon background and did not belong to any family. He was himself a Higher Dragon who had plundered resources through various ans to cultivate and achieve his current strength. He had been waiting for a sufficiently good opportunity. As long as he could shine in the Rising Dragon Competition, he would be qualified to attach himself to the most powerful family and gain more resources to prepare for his future breakthrough to the god rank. If he could obtain enough resources, even if he could not beco a Dragon Knight himself, becoming a Dragon Knight's mount was still a very real possibility.
Therefore, he was determined to succeed in this Rising Dragon Competition.
Lan Xuanyu seed oblivious to Hu Hongyu's stare. As usual, he began absorbing dragon energy to replenish himself upon arrival.
After yesterday's hunt, he felt more than ever that absorbing True Dragon energy yielded the best results. The dragon energy released by the Dragon Knights was even greater than what he could obtain from killing ten Lower Dragons. Unfortunately, no Dragon Knights ca today.
Would killing another bring them? However, given his past actions, killing another dragon would not look good. Besides, killing Hu Hongyu directly in the match would also be wasteful. If he hunted him outside, he could leave him for Yuge, and perhaps it would help Yuge achieve a breakthrough.
With that thought, he slowly reined in his killing intent.
"Round-robin, fifth round. First group: Yan Guanzhe versus Zhang Zekai, Dongfang Yuancheng versus Han Xiaoyu, Lan versus Hu Hongyu…"
Lan Xuanyu opened his eyes and walked slowly toward the third combat zone. His long hair drifted behind his head, and his cool, elegant bearing still drew the attention of many onlookers.
Hu Hongyu, not to be outdone, followed closely behind Lan Xuanyu into the third combat zone. The contestants from all groups entered and waited quietly for the first round to begin.
Lan Xuanyu focused inward. For him, this match was also very important. If he defeated Hu Hongyu, he would have five wins and no losses, securing a spot in the top three without any issue. It would prove that aside from Xu Yanmo, at least no one else could match him. He could then aim to hold second place and contend for first.
At the sa ti, if he could seriously injure this fellow, it would pave the way for Xiuxiu when she faced him later, which would greatly benefit Bai Xiuxiu's advancent. If he lost this match, it might an that one of them would inevitably be eliminated in the round-robin stage. That was certainly not what Lan Xuanyu wanted. He had already promised Bai Xiuxiu that if he went to the Dragon Realm, he would take her with him.
Since participating in the Rising Dragon Competition, their progress had been astonishing. The benefits of the finals would certainly be even greater. Dragon Knights would surely co to observe each match, allowing them to absorb more dragon energy and improve even more.
For Lan Xuanyu, this Rising Dragon Competition was an important accumulation process, paving the way for his future breakthrough to seven-ring. Once he had accumulated enough, he could break through to that brand-new level. At that ti, even on Celestial Dragon Planet, he would have so amount of ability to protect himself and his companions.
Clad in his Mountain Dragon King divine dragon armor, Lan Xuanyu's aura began to change. Opposite him, Hu Hongyu also donned his divine dragon armor. His armor was pale gold, radiating a dense light-elent aura.
Five attributes primarily based on light? Sensing the faint, five-colored glow and carefully distinguishing, they were indeed wood, fire, earth, tal, and water—similar to the five elents. A Five-Elent Dragon?
No, not a pure Five-Elent Dragon; it should be called a Prismatic Five-Elent Dragon, with light as its foundation.
Winning this match would probably not be as simple as the previous ones. Without being able to use the Silver Dragon King's abilities, this would be a significant test for Lan Xuanyu.
"Begin!" With the referee's announcent, this crucial confrontation finally started.
Low dragon roars instantly resounded across the entire arena as ten matches ignited simultaneously. Lan Xuanyu took a step forward and leaped into the air, but instead of charging at his opponent, he soared straight up.
Hu Hongyu's entire body erupted with light. Five-colored radiance rose from beneath him like a halo. He had expected Lan Xuanyu to charge straight at him, attacking with overwhelming strength.
For this match, Hu Hongyu had also made thorough preparations. He knew he was certainly no match for "Lan" in terms of physical strength. To defeat his opponent, he could not rely on brute force. Instead, he had to use his attribute advantage to steadily wear down Lan's edge and consu her Dragon Force.
From previous matches, one could deduce that although Lan was formidable, her Dragon Force level had not reached the highest among the contestants. It was only because of her powerful bloodline, terrifying strength, and so special combat skills that she had achieved consecutive, swift victories.
