Chapter 1343: Chapter 1343: Skill Approaching the Way
“Open!” Yu Wenliang shouted and exerted strength with both hands, attempting to pull his greatsword back.
However, the greatsword held in Lan Xuanyu’s palm seemed as immovable as a cast-iron monument.
Lan Xuanyu’s left hand also rose at this moment, similarly covered in golden scales. Yes, now his left hand was also covered in golden scales.
Having nearly completed his bloodline fusion, he now effortlessly wielded the powers of the Golden Dragon King and Silver Dragon King, without needing to differentiate between the left and right side of his body as before.
His left hand clenched into a fist and smashed down onto the blade.
“Bang—” In the low rumbling sound, the timely battle qi unleashed by Yu Wenliang scattered instantly. The greatsword shattered inch by inch.
Suddenly, an intense dragon roar erupted around Lan Xuanyu’s body. His now-free right fist swung out, striking straight at Yu Wenliang’s core with unstoppable force.
In terms of physique, Lan Xuanyu, though tall and slender, was still within the human range. Compared to the four-meter-tall Yu Wenliang clad in full armor, the disparity was stark.
Yet, when Lan Xuanyu unleashed this punch, Yu Wenliang felt as if everything before him had collapsed. The horrific shockwave, coupled with the shattered remnants of his greatsword, fractured the skin between his thumbs and index fingers. That golden fist, carrying unparalleled momentum, reached him in an instant.
“Boom—”
Instinctively, Yu Wenliang raised both arms to block, pushing his Sky Horse Battle Qi to its limit. Yet when the punch landed, his battle qi still dispersed dramatically. In the next moment, an overwhelming force coursed through his entire body, sending him flying off the arena—yes, completely off the stage.
While airborne, the white armor on Yu Wenliang’s body suddenly glowed with four-colored brilliance. In the next instant, a violent explosion echoed, scattering the once-solid white armor into countless fragments.
A mouthful of blood sprayed from his mouth, and the radiant light of battle qi on Yu Wenliang’s body abruptly extinguished.
Several figures sprang forward to catch him midair, but even upon catching him, they could still feel the severe tremors and paralyzing sensation emanating from his body.
Li Menglong’s eyes were filled with shock as he stared at Lan Xuanyu on the stage. It wasn’t just him; all the elite young generation wannabe challengers now looked at Lan Xuanyu with terror in their gazes.
Yu Wenliang might not compare to Zheng Xutong or Wang Junjie, but among the young generation of the Sky Horse Clan, he was somewhat reputable. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been accompanying Li Menglong.
Yet in such a brief moment—from their initial moves, collision, to the end of the battle—it only took about ten seconds. A young elite of the Sky Horse Clan was defeated, just like that.
Everyone knew that the Golden Dragon Princess was strong. If not, she wouldn’t have been crowned the champion of the Dragon Clan’s latest Ascending Dragon Tournament. But no one had expected “her” strength to be so overwhelming! In “her” hands, Yu Wenliang barely stood a chance and was utterly defeated. Moreover, it seemed as if she had held back—otherwise, Yu Wenliang’s life would have been in danger.
Had the Golden Dragon Princess become this powerful?
The third and fifth arenas remained devoid of challengers, and the third arena was situated not far from the first.
Qi Tianlong watched as Lan Xuanyu defeated Yu Wenliang, his brows furrowing tightly.
It had only been how long? Just over half a year since the Ascending Dragon Tournament ended. Such a short time. But “she” had already made such astonishing progress?
After their previous battle, Qi Tianlong had not only suffered severe physical injuries but had also begun questioning his talent and direction of effort. It had taken him over three months just to heal and reset his mindset. Only then did he rise again, reaffirming his path and deciding to continue suppressing his cultivation, preventing a breakthrough to God Rank so he could accumulate more.
The battle just now seemed brief, but the transformations within it were immense. He could clearly sense the qualitative changes in “Lan.”
The cultivation still seemed similar, and yet there was an unmistakable sense of near-perfection in “her” movements. Every action appeared to resonate subtly with the heavenly laws, giving off a feeling that everything “she” did was destined to occur. In a mere wave of “her” hand, she overwhelmed her opponent.
Then there was the golden aura surrounding “her” body—what was it? Dragon Air? Dragon Air, which only God level strong cultivators could possess?
“Her” Dragon Air was so solid that even his Sky Dragon Battle Qi couldn’t penetrate it in the slightest.
Qi Tianlong had always known that Lan possessed the ability to strip elements. But when one’s manipulation of elements reached a certain level, the stripping effect diminished. During his previous battle with Lan Xuanyu, his fire elements had been barely affected.
Sky Horse Battle Qi was even better at solidifying elements—a distinctive characteristic of Sky Horse Battle Qi. Yet during every collision between Yu Wenliang and Lan, his Battle Qi dispersed entirely, unable to coalesce into sufficient combat force.
In terms of cultivation, they seemed evenly matched, yet before Lan, Yu Wenliang appeared utterly weak and unable to mount any resistance. He hadn’t even managed to transform into his true form before being defeated. This proved the stark disparity between their levels.
Lan had indeed grown stronger. When “she” claimed earlier that “she” was the strongest among the young generation of the Dragon Clan, Qi Tianlong and Xu Yanmo had felt some resistance in their hearts. But at this moment, witnessing “her” firsthand defeat a young elite of the Sky Horse Clan, their resistance melted away as the widening gap became apparent.
After defeating Yu Wenliang, Lan Xuanyu made no show of celebration or pride but quietly immersed himself in the sensation of controlling his strength during battle.
The feeling was profoundly peculiar. He felt as if he could shatter the heavens and reach the far shore at any moment. It was the sensation of being on the brink of a breakthrough. Yet he could control himself now, staying at that edge without stepping over.
In this state, he could still perceive laws—their powers and transformations. Though the battle seemed simple, Lan Xuanyu was already experimenting with many aspects previously unfamiliar to him.
By accumulating experience, he continued to comprehend the heavenly laws, which would facilitate his future breakthrough immensely.
Below the stage, animated discussions erupted among the crowd. Representatives of various clans now regarded Lan Xuanyu with changed eyes. This was simply too strong—how could anyone fight this? Unless they employed a wheel battle strategy—but who would take the first match? That required celestial crystal stones.
At the same time, the match on the sixth arena approached its conclusion.
The Light Attribute Sky Horse Battle Qi unleashed by Deng Xu Tong was clearly overwhelming. While Wang Junjie still held on with all his might, the gap in strength—particularly in the mastery over power—forced him to retreat step by step, almost reaching the edge of the arena.
At this moment, Wang Junjie suddenly let out a fierce roar, and the fire attribute Sky Horse Battle Qi surrounding him flared explosively. In the next instant, a pair of massive wings unfurled from his back.
The true form of the Sky Horse.
He was a superior Sky Horse with eight legs. As his wings unfurled, the Sky Horse Battle Qi around him surged and became fiercely intense. His eight horse legs curled simultaneously as his body collapsed inward, transforming into fuel to ignite the fire attribute Sky Horse Battle Qi into a frenzied blaze. The blazing crimson light instantly turned dark red as terrifying heat infused his longsword for a violent strike.
In that moment, the white battle qi crumbled before the fiery blaze of Sky Horse Battle Qi. The sword, wielding an astonishing and majestic force, slashed ferociously toward Deng Xu Tong.
Just as Li Menglong had surmised, Wang Junjie had indeed come prepared with secret techniques. Within the dark red flames trailing behind the greatsword, a silhouette emerged, reformed into human shape entirely composed of flames. Holding the greatsword, the flaming figure charged at Deng Xu Tong with a downward slash.
