In this Dragon Martial Arts Tournament, it is personally hosted by Wang Chengding, the true Leader of Dragon Martial Arts and the superior of Zhang Tailai and Li Mohai, one of the Eight Divisions of Heavenly Dragons. He is a cousin of the Dragon Head, making Wang Long refer to him as uncle.
However, like Zhang Tailai, he is a cold and profound person, not one to smile or joke, which makes him intimidating.
He stepped forward, his deep voice echoing throughout the venue: "In this tournament, there are thirty-two disciples participating who have passed the Dragon Martial Training. Please proceed to the designated Arena when your name is called."
Wang Chengding wasted no time with unnecessary words and immediately arranged for the disciples to begin their matches.
The order of the matches was completely random, and Wang Long had no idea when it would be his turn or who his opponent would be. However, he felt confident and remained calm.
The first few rounds consisted of matches between ordinary disciples. Among them, the stronger ones had barely just broken through to the level of Three Dragon Veins, while some were at the level of only one or two veins. Wang Long found it uninteresting.
It wasn't until the fourth round that a disciple named Liu Chengqiu appeared, catching everyone's attention.
Wang Long recognized him; Zhang Tailai had mentioned that among all the disciples, aside from those in his own group, only two needed attention: one was Wang Qianyue, and the other was this Liu Chengqiu!
His opponent was also a direct disciple, Li Qianfan, who served under Li Mohai.
Zhang Tailai said solemnly: "This Qianfan is at the peak level of Three Dragon Veins, not to be underestimated. I wonder what level Liu Chengqiu has reached; has he broken through to Fourth Dragon Vein?"
As they faced each other and exchanged pleasantries, they immediately engaged in battle.
As soon as Li Qianfan made his move, a fire dragon erupted from his fist with tremendous force, startling everyone watching and shaking them out of their earlier stupor as they focused intently on the match.
However, Liu Chengqiu let out a cold snort and did not dodge. When the fire dragon approached him, he shouted lowly, and suddenly a wave of mist swirled around him. A purple aura resembling ink burst forth.
The seemingly powerful fire dragon could not advance an inch upon encountering this delicate and ethereal purple aura. It was as if it had fallen into quicksand, unable to move forward or backward, trapped within!
“Misty Purple Aura! This is the Liu Family's innate Divine Ability, Misty Purple Aura! Liu Chengqiu has actually opened the Four Dragon Veins and awakened his innate Divine Ability! Truly a genius!”
Among the spectators, there were those who understood the significance, and they immediately shouted out, their voices filled with excitement and fervor.
In an instant, the entire viewing platform was in an uproar, descending into chaos.
Liu Chengyan's face turned pale, but he quickly regained his composure and said softly, “Indeed, it is Misty Purple Aura. Liu Chengqiu's talent is not inferior to mine; he should not be underestimated.”
Wang Long noticed that although Liu Chengyan was slightly startled, he quickly calmed down, appearing much steadier and more confident than before. It seemed that Jiang Xue's impact on him was more than just a blow.
Li Qianfan was sweating on his forehead and exclaimed anxiously, “You have actually opened the Four Dragon Veins and awakened your innate Divine Ability! Continuing to fight is meaningless; I admit defeat!”
Liu Chengqiu smiled, retracted the Misty Aura, and gracefully acknowledged his opponent, descending with a flourish to a chorus of cheers.
Li Xinghe sighed, “The Liu Family's Misty Aura is ever-changing, capable of both offense and defense. It truly is a top-tier innate Divine Ability, not at all inferior to my Li Family's Reverse Chaos Eye.”
Wang Long suddenly asked, “Then what about the Zhang Family's innate Divine Ability? Why haven't we seen any outstanding disciples from the Zhang Family this time?”
Zhang Tailai smiled slightly. “The Zhang Family's innate Divine Ability? Very few people know about it. Unlike the Li Family and Liu Family disciples who can awaken their abilities by opening the Four Dragon Veins, we must open the seventh Dragon Vein to awaken ours!”
The crowd was slightly taken aback; this was the first time they had heard such information.
The Four Great Families of Dragon City—Zhang, Li, Wang, and Liu—have their own legacies. The Wang Family has always been the leader among them and also oversees Dragon Martial Arts, like this generation's Wang Chengding. The Li Family manages Dragon Tooth and is responsible for all military affairs with their innate Divine Ability, Reverse Chaos Eye. The Liu Family oversees Dragon Vault and handles all martial arts manuals, weapons, elixirs, and various other tasks with their innate Divine Ability, Misty Purple Aura.
The Zhang Family remains quite mysterious; they control the little-known Dragon Hidden and are responsible for various covert reconnaissance and assassination tasks. Their innate Divine Ability is also rarely known.
At this moment, hearing Zhang Tailai's words, the Zhang Family naturally possesses the Divine Ability, but the conditions for awakening it are so harsh that one must reach the seventh Dragon Vein to achieve it. It's no wonder that few have witnessed it.
"So, what exactly is the Divine Ability?" Liu Chengyan couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Well..." Zhang Tailai smiled slightly, "Wait until I open the seventh Dragon Vein and demonstrate it for you!"
"..."
As they gradually became familiar with Zhang Tailai, Wang Long and the others began to realize that this seemingly indifferent man was not always cold and harsh; he could occasionally make jokes, though only with those he was close to.
"Let's continue watching the competition..." Zhang Tailai gently coughed to remind them.
"The next match is Wang Qianyue against... Zhang Longjiang!"
Everyone immediately stopped their discussion and focused intently on the person on stage, who was one of Wang Long's biggest opponents in this competition, the Wang family's top genius, Wang Qianyue!
"Senior Brother Wang, please give me your guidance," Zhang Longjiang said with a bow.
Wang Qianyue sneered and said softly, "You might as well admit defeat; at least you can save some face..."
"You!" Upon hearing this, Zhang Longjiang became furious. He knew very well that he was no match for Wang Qianyue, but the other party's arrogance still infuriated him, causing his anger to surge.
"Thunderfire Sword!"
Zhang Longjiang shouted angrily as a Thunderfire Sword erupted with a roar, directly stabbing toward Wang Qianyue.
Wang Long shook his head. Although this person had also reached the realm of breaking through the Three Dragon Veins, he was too rigid and only used textbook-like Dragon Arts. How could he possibly injure Wang Qianyue?!
Sure enough, Wang Qianyue let out a disdainful chuckle and casually waved her hand. With just a simple Dragon Technique, she directly crushed the Thunderfire Sword with her fingers!
"Trivial skill, and you dare to show off in front of others!" Wang Qianyue released the remnants of Thunderlight, mocking him.
Zhang Longjiang, furious, let out a roar and charged forward, attacking with both fists and feet, intending to engage Wang Qianyue in close combat.
Wang Qianyue leisurely executed two consecutive Dragon Arts. With a loud explosion, the Arena shattered as a dirt wall suddenly protruded. Zhang Longjiang, charging forward, was caught off guard and crashed right into it.
In an instant, there was a thunderous sound as the dirt wall was smashed to pieces, and Zhang Longjiang was left bloodied and unconscious. At that moment, Wang Qianyue's second Dragon Art arrived. A sudden gust of wind blew through, gentle as if stirring a falling leaf, wrapping the unconscious Zhang Longjiang within and slowly lowering him to the ground.
The arena fell silent. For a moment, everyone was at a loss for words. Although Wang Qianyue was arrogant, her earlier performance—whether it was her displayed cultivation level, her use of Dragon Arts, or her grasp of the rhythm of battle—was all exceptionally skilled and surprising. It was hard to believe that this was the level achievable by someone who had not yet reached adulthood!
"Wang Qianyue wins!"
