Chapter 1107: Chapter 1107

The pseudo-dragons here came in all manner of strange forms. The closer their appearance was to that of a True Dragon, or the closer they were to the Celestial Dragon Clan, the more powerful they were. Their performance in battle was extremely valuable data, and he needed to record it carefully.

Lan Xuanyu also had another thought. If they could obtain the corpse of a Higher Dragon, could they bring it back to the Tang Sect and have them attempt to construct a Biological Warship?

The number of powerful soul beast corpses permitted for use was limited, but if it were these pseudo-dragon corpses from Celestial Dragon Planet, there probably wouldn’t be any problem.

He was already feeling a bit of regret over having handed in that Fire Dragon earlier. If he hadn’t turned it over, he could have let the Tang Sect experiment with it.

Ever since they had hunted and killed those two dragon-type beings last time, they had kept a very low profile and hadn’t taken action against any more dragons, instead focusing on consolidating the benefits gained from their body tempering.

Lan Xuanyu spent ten days digesting and absorbing the Dragon Force he had gained during that tempering. The reason they hadn’t acted again was that the previous operation had served as a warning. After all, they were still not familiar enough with the dragons of Celestial Dragon Planet. They would only take action again after the Rising Dragon Competition, which itself would be an excellent opportunity to search for targets.

Now, they could be considered as having established a foothold on Celestial Dragon Planet. There would be plenty of time in the future to proceed step by step.

Through communication with Elder Shu, Lan Xuanyu learned that the members of the Thirty-Three Sky Wings who were cultivating in cooperation with the plant-type powerhouses were all making extremely rapid progress—much faster than when they were cultivating back at the academy. After the Rising Dragon Competition concluded, Lan Xuanyu planned to have the plant-type powerhouses return to the Mother planet once, bringing life energy back with them to see whether it could nourish the Eternal Tree. If it worked, then everything could continue smoothly. Everything was developing in a positive direction.

“We’re setting off tomorrow. You should get yourselves organized and make your preparations,” Huang Yuanlang said.

Today, he was dressed in a set of white casual clothes, which highlighted his handsome features and tall, straight figure. He truly looked radiant.

Looking at the smile on his face and the infatuation in his eyes, Lan Xuanyu felt an urge to slap him. This guy was clearly coveting him!

“Alright.” Lan Xuanyu nodded and was about to see him out.

However, Huang Yuanlang said, “You’ve been cultivating pretty hard lately. How about relaxing a bit today? I’ll treat you to dinner tonight.”

Bai Xiuxiu looked at Huang Yuanlang, then at Lan Xuanyu. Suppressing her laughter, she said, “I won’t go. You two can go ahead. I’ll do some final preparations.”

Huang Yuanlang agreed without hesitation. “That works. Lan, you absolutely must come! I also have some information about the Rising Dragon Competition to share with you, so we can analyze the opponents we’ll be facing.”

Lan Xuanyu took a deep breath and replied calmly, “Alright.”

Huang Yuanlang was overjoyed. “Then I’ll come pick you up tonight. I’ll go make the arrangements first.”

With that, he left happily.

After closing the door, Lan Xuanyu calmly walked toward Bai Xiuxiu.

“Y-you… what are you doing?” Bai Xiuxiu backed away with a frightened expression, though her face betrayed her amusement.

Lan Xuanyu only felt the power of his bloodline suddenly surge violently within him, almost beyond his control.

Her teasing intent was impossible to hide. “I have to say, Sister Lan, your charm is really quite strong. Heehee.”

Smack! A flash of silver light—Lan Xuanyu appeared behind her and lightly slapped her on the back.

“Ow! Where are you hitting me?!” Bai Xiuxiu’s face flushed red as she turned and punched him.

Lan Xuanyu pulled her into his arms and said viciously, “If you tease me again, I won’t let you off.” Thankfully, Huang Yuanlang wasn’t there. Otherwise, seeing two “beautiful women” embracing , who knew what he would think.

Huang Yuanlang personally arrived in a dragon carriage to pick up Lan Xuanyu. Lan Xuanyu adjusted himself properly, and with the help of the Treasure Seeking Beast, transformed into a fresh set of clothes before boarding the carriage with Huang Yuanlang. Check latest chapters at NoveI(F)ire.net

It was unclear whether the dragon carriage had been specially modified, but there were exactly two seats side by side inside. Huang Yuanlang invited Lan Xuanyu to sit first before taking his own seat. Smiling gently, he asked, “Lan, is there anything in particular you like to eat?”

Lan Xuanyu silently shook his head. Although his voice had been altered by the Treasure Seeking Beast, speaking as little as possible was the best disguise.

Huang Yuanlang smiled. “Then I’ll make the arrangements.”

“Mm.” Lan Xuanyu nodded.

Huang Yuanlang continued, “How are you adapting to the Dragon Spear and the Divine Dragon Armor?”

“It’s alright,” Lan Xuanyu replied. “The increase in power is quite noticeable.”

Huang Yuanlang laughed. “To be honest, I’m a bit envious of you. That set of Divine Dragon Armor you have is already the highest quality our Huang Family can provide, and the Dragon Spear as well. Father equipped you entirely according to the standards of a true Dragon Knight, all in the hope that you can make it into the finals this time. How confident are you yourself?”

Lan Xuanyu shook his head. “I haven’t fought against other dragon clan members yet, so I’m not too sure.”

Huang Yuanlang laughed. “Mainly because I think I couldn’t beat you. Otherwise, I’d gladly serve as your sparring partner.”

Lan Xuanyu’s heart stirred, and he glanced at him.

Sensing that Lan Xuanyu’s gaze no longer seemed quite as cold, Huang Yuanlang’s heart leapt. He couldn’t help but secretly reproach himself—why hadn’t he thought of this earlier? If he had offered to be her sparring partner sooner, perhaps he could have grown closer to her long ago.

Regardless of Huang Yuanlang’s true intentions, his “ambition” toward Lan Xuanyu was already perfectly clear.

Even so, Huang Yuanlang was clearly wary of Lan Xuanyu’s status. Throughout the entire process, he made no inappropriate moves, instead doing his best to display his elegance and paying attention to every detail.

Lan Xuanyu couldn’t remain completely cold the entire time and could only play along superficially. It was truly exhausting.

“Huang brother, are we flying there ourselves tomorrow?” Lan Xuanyu asked while eating.

Huang Yuanlang replied, “No need for us to fly ourselves. We need to conserve our strength and also keep things discreet. This year’s Rising Dragon Competition—you and Xiuxiu are our secret weapons. We’ll take the Flying Dragon Carriage. You might not have ridden one before. It’s a flying vehicle pulled by Lower Dragons—extremely rare. Normally, only city lords are qualified to use one. This time, Father will let us use it.”

Lan Xuanyu showed a look of realization. “Thank you, Clan Head.”

Huang Yuanlang chuckled. “No need to thank me. As long as you can make it into the finals, that will be the greatest help and gratitude to our Huang Family. Come—let us drain this cup.”

From Huang Yuanlang, Lan Xuanyu learned even more about the Rising Dragon Competition, gaining a deeper understanding of the event.

It had been quite some time since he last absorbed the Fire Dragon’s energy. He was now fully capable of absorbing dragon energy once again and continuing his cultivation through Dragon Force body tempering. This would be the perfect opportunity to search for a target. With the experience from before, he knew he needed to be even more cautious this time.
