Chapter 588 (2/2)
In a way, they were right. Xiang Shaoyun had indeed gone mad thinking about contribution points. He was planning to acc.u.mulate a large amount before entering the academy's nine unique cultivation zones to prepare for his advancement into the Dragon Ascension Realm.
He had reached a point he could start forming his draconic aura. He was merely waiting to further temper his nine powers before forming his aura. Accepting challenges in this manner would be a good way of tempering himself. The challenger of the day occupied the 38th place on the Serpent Fowl List. His name was Long Baqi.
He had an aggressive name, and the Long Clan was a formidable clan even in the entirety of the dominion. Since this Long Baqi was from the Long Clan, he might be related to Long s.h.i.+, who was ranked within the top 10 of the Dragon Phoenix List. However, n.o.body was sure if that was really true.
Long Baqi's appearance matched his aggressive name, as he looked rough with a tall, st.u.r.dy body. When he walked, he took large strides and exuded an overbearing aura. The first impression anyone would have when seeing him for the first time was his overbearingness and arrogance. His arrogance stemmed from his very bones, as if n.o.body in the entire world was comparable to him.
He was outfitted in dazzling golden armor and wielded a golden axe in his hand. He stood overlooking Xiang Shaoyun as he said loudly, ”Xiang Shaoyun, submit to me, the Little Overlord, and become my follower. Otherwise, you won't be able to walk out of the ring with your own legs today.”
”Oh? You're a self-proclaimed Little Overlord? I am a self-proclaimed Overlord. Looks like you should be the one submitting to me instead,” said Xiang Shaoyun, emphasizing the ”little”. His voice filled with disdain; he never liked arrogant people.
”I offered you an easy way out, but you refused. Have a taste of my axe, then,” said Long Baqi in displeasure as he lifted his axe and swung it at Xiang Shaoyun. As he attacked, he erupted with a clear draconic aura and shone with a dazzling golden radiance, showing a prowess that couldn't be underestimated.
”Since you use the power of gold, I will defeat you with the same,” said Xiang Shaoyun as he transformed into a roaring white tiger.
White Tiger Manifestation!
Terrifying white tiger energy swirled around Xiang Shaoyun's body. As the two approached each other, it was as if a white tiger and a dragon were really charging each other. After receiving the teachings of the gravekeeper elder, each of Xiang Shaoyun's attacks was clean and smooth. Even the prowess of his attacks increased by more than 30 percent.
However, he did not immediately destroy the draconic aura formed by his opponent during their collision. He was trying to repeat what he had done the day before: to make it seem it took a lot of effort to defeat his opponent. He was afraid that others would not dare to challenge him otherwise. He did not wish to reduce his source of contribution points.
If Long Baqi knew what Xiang Shaoyun was thinking, he would probably have the urge to slice Xiang Shaoyun up with his axe. Of course, even if he wanted to do that, he needed the strength for it.
Like Huang Quan, Long Baqi was a mid-stage Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator. However, his combat style was much more flexible compared to Huang Quan. He also had a much better offensive strength, and it seemed like there was a reason for his arrogance.
The dragon-shaped battle aura around him also increased his combat prowess, pus.h.i.+ng him to the level of a peak third-stage Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator. It seemed Xiang Shaoyun wouldn't be able to easily comprehend the profundity of the power of gold through this battle like he had the previous duel.
