Chapter 644 - The Legend Of The Mountain Dragon King (1/2)
“Because the mountain dragons didn't form a clan; each and every one of them was a king,” Gu Yue answered. “The planet was almost completely covered by the sea when the Dragon G.o.d first found it. His nine children could swim of course, but they required vast amounts of land to roam, so he ordered the mountain dragons to transform into mountains and rivers to enlarge their living s.p.a.ce when they were old enough. The Dragon G.o.d rewarded them for their sacrifices by making every one of them a king. All the other dragon kings admired them and held them in very high regard.”
This legend left Gu Yue's teammates dumbfounded.
Even the usually silent Ye Xinglan couldn't help but ask, “How did you know all this? Isn't it supposed to be a secret within the dragon clans? I don't think I read anything about it in the school library.”
“It's written in an ancient scroll I found in the Spirit PaG.o.da,” Gu Yue replied. “I always a.s.sumed it was just a myth, but apparently it's real, since we're looking at a mountain dragon right in front of us. I just can't bring myself to believe that someone can have the Mountain Dragon for his martial soul. I mean, the Mountain Dragon King.
“The mountain dragons didn't have much time to breed due to the responsibility they had to fulfill, so they were not many in number. But the draconic blood flowing in their veins was much purer than that in the offspring of the other dragon kings. That must be what's making Long Yue so strong.”
Tang Wulin looked at the screen and allowed himself a wry smile. I was super excited when Long Yue said his martial soul was the Mountain Dragon; I thought my bloodline would be able to suppress his, but now I find it will probably be the other way around…
“Is there anything about the Golden Dragon King in that ancient scroll?” asked Tang Wulin.
Gu Yue nodded. “Yes. The legend of the Golden Dragon King is even more astonis.h.i.+ng than that of the Mountain Dragon King. I'll tell you about it after this match.”
After Long Yue released his martial soul, the vibes emanating from him had become even more terrifying. Even the ground was shaking a little in awe and fear.
Yue Zhengyu had faced strong opponents before, but never one like Long Yue, who looked like an insurmountable mountain standing before him.
“Yield, now!” called Long Yue.
“You want a piece of me? Come and get it!” Yue Zhengyu shouted back, sounding far bolder than he felt.
Long Yue looked at Yue Zhengyu and burst into a fit of laughter – loud and hard. Suddenly, he stomped the ground with his right foot as his first soul ring started s.h.i.+ning. “Mountains!”
The stage started shaking violently as numerous little mountains in the shape of a cone grew out of the ground and shot up towards Yue Zhengyu.
Yue Zhengyu soared up into the air and quickly activated his fourth soul skill: Holy Angel Descends! My slim chance of winning has just dropped to zero. But be that as it may, I will still give it my all and try to find out as much about his skills as I possibly can, because my friends are counting on me!
Yue Zhengyu started s.h.i.+ning a dazzling golden color. He flapped his wings and flew towards Long Yue, evading one mountain attack after another. He was very fast, to be sure, but there were just too many mountains for him to dodge them all; he had to use his judgment light to destroy some close-call attacks.
