Chapter 1082: Chapter 1082: A Place of One’s Own


Huang Yuanlang stood to the side, his eyes brimming with shock. He had seen Lord Luo Lan far more often and was all too familiar with this Moke Dragon Knight. Although the Moke Dragon Knight was of a peaceful nature, he rarely praised anyone. The high regard he held for Lan today was truly unexpected. To say that Lan had a place among them, coming from the mouth of a Dragon Knight, was no joking matter; it meant that he genuinely believed Lan had a chance to become a Dragon Knight.


Undoubtedly, the Lan whom he had unavoidably fallen for, actually had the makings of a Dragon Knight! In comparison, it was unknown whether Xiuxiu could become a Dragon Knight.


Luo Lan’s gaze shifted toward Lan Xuanyu, watching him with interest, he said, “Your name is Lan, right?”


“Yes, Lord Dragon Knight,” Lan Xuanyu bowed slightly in greeting.


Luo Lan said, “You are very good. What kind of feeling did you have when your bloodline was evolving?”


Lan Xuanyu’s heart tightened; he knew that Luo Lan’s assessment of him hadn’t ended, or rather, he was extremely interested in his abilities and wanted to learn more from him.


After pondering for a moment and hesitating, he said, “Pain, excruciating pain. My entire body felt as if it was being torn apart, severe agony. It felt as though my body was about to shatter, every inch of my flesh seemed to be breaking.”


As he spoke, Lan Xuanyu exhibited a strong sense of fear, even trembling. This wasn’t an act; this was where he was most clever. As he spoke, he tried hard to recall the feelings he had during his breakthrough. These were real sensations of pain.


“Later, my consciousness began to blur, and I felt that I might already be dead. After that, I knew nothing. When I woke up, I had already transformed into what I am now.”


Luo Lan responded indifferently, “Transformed into your present form? Human or dragon?”


This time, Lan Xuanyu didn’t hesitate, “Human. But my body was covered with golden scales.”


A hint of realization appeared in Luo Lan’s eyes, “Ah, that’s right. It should be just like that. She must have experienced the most complete Dragon Bloodline Awakening. I didn’t expect to find another one. Indeed, she has great potential.”


Huang Daoqi voiced the question on Lan Xuanyu’s mind, “Lord Luo Lan, what do you mean by the most complete awakening?”


Luo Lan smiled and replied, “It means that her original bloodline was extremely close to that of the Dragon Clan, and during the Dragon-Transformation Period, her own bloodline was almost entirely replaced by the dragon bloodline in the process of transformation. It’s as if she has completely switched bodies. Only her consciousness remained the same. Ultimately, she became like this, with a very pure and powerful bloodline. Such a situation has only occurred in my brother. Encountering a second one is indeed very fortunate. Her identity is beyond question now.”


Upon hearing this, both Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief. The reason Lan Xuanyu said he woke up in human form was the conclusion he and the Treasure Hunting Beast had discussed.


Lan Xuanyu was not familiar with what the original Dragon Clan was supposed to be like, but the Treasure Hunting Beast knew! It had served the Dragon God.


It told Lan Xuanyu that when the Dragon Clan’s power reached a certain level, they would naturally transform into human form, and then the scales on their bodies would gradually fade. This was a change within the dragon bloodline. It also had to do with their time in the Divine Realm. So, if the Dragon-Transformation Period here was indeed due to the lingering influence of the original dragons from the Divine Realm, similar occurrences should exist.


Lan Xuanyu repeated what he had learned, never expecting that he would succeed in Luo Lan’s questioning by sheer fluke. From Luo Lan’s tone and expression, it was evident that the situation Lan Xuanyu described was one that was uncommon amongst the Dragon Clan. A different powerhouse here could still be skeptical, but he just happened to know of such an occurrence. And indeed, such a description could not be voiced if one hadn’t lived through it. Hence, he immediately recognized Lan Xuanyu’s identity without question.


Upon hearing Luo Lan’s words, Huang Daoqi was also overjoyed, “Lord Luo Lan, Lan has already joined our family and has also been through the Dragon Power Hall’s induction. You see…”


Lord Luo Lan looked at him deeply and smiled, “What, afraid I’ll snatch your people away? Even if I were to do that, now isn’t the time. They still have a long way to grow. Rest easy. Your luck might just change the future of the imperial family.”


Huang Daoqi was overjoyed, “Please teach me, Lord.”


Luo Lan said, “They are both worthy of cultivation, and as sisters, they might be trained together. Although one is slightly weaker, her dual attribute is still full of potential. In the future, focusing on Lan while using Xiuxiu as a foundation could lead to great achievements. As for how far they can go, it will depend on themselves.”


Huang Daoqi quickly stood up and said to Bai Xiuxiu and Lan Xuanyu, “Won’t you thank Lord Luo Lan for the cultivation?”


Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu hurriedly bowed to Luo Lan again, but at that moment, both of their hearts felt somewhat strange.


Initially, when Lan Xuanyu first learned about the existence of Dragon Knights in this world, he had jokingly told Bai Xiuxiu that he wanted to ride her. And Luo Lan’s words just now seemed to suggest exactly that.


If it weren’t for the present circumstances, Bai Xiuxiu would have rolled her eyes at him. Prophetic, in a sense.


Luo Lan said, “The Dragon Knight Cultivation Method can be imparted to them now. Let them start their cultivation. In three months, have them participate in the Ascending Dragon Tournament to see how far they can go. The Ascending Dragon Tournament is an excellent place for training. As new members of the Dragon Clan, they need to get acquainted with their kin. As for their identities, rest assured, with me as their guarantor, no one will question them. They’ll remain with the imperial family until they achieve the status of Dragon Knights in the future.”


“Thank you, Lord Luo Lan, for your cultivation,” said Huang Daoqi, bowing deeply, his face unable to hide his joy.


Luo Lan said, “Alright, I must return as I have matters to attend to. If they manage to reach the final stages of the Ascending Dragon Tournament, there should be a chance to meet again.” Having said this, a dark green light flashed, and a lingering dragon roar could be faintly heard in the air. His figure vanished without a trace, soaring into the mysterious beyond.


It wasn’t until the Moke Dragon Knight had disappeared that Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu finally let out a huge sigh of relief. Although Luo Lan had not shown any powerful aura throughout, the pressure he exerted was constantly immense.


This Moke Dragon Knight had a sense of deep reserve, as if he were a black hole, not devouring anything external, but instead absorbing his very self and concealing everything within. One could not begin to discern his level of cultivation. That was what a true powerhouse was like.


Huang Daoqi kept bowing in the direction of the Moke Dragon Knight until the dragon roar completely faded away before he straightened up. Turning to Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu, he couldn’t help laughing, “I never expected Lord Luo Lan to hold you in such high regard. Congratulations to you.”


“Thank you, Father.”


“Thank you, Patriarch.”


Both Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu, intelligent as they were, expressed their gratitude from their respective positions.


Huang Daoqi turned to look at Huang Yuanlang, who appeared somewhat despondent, “Yuan Lang, step outside for a moment, I have something to discuss with Lan and Xiuxiu.”


“Yes.” Huang Yuanlang gave Lan Xuanyu a deep look, then walked out and closed the door behind him.


Huang Daoqi gestured to Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu, “Please, take a seat. Let’s talk while sitting down.”


Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu sat down beside him, and they could clearly feel that Huang Daoqi’s attitude towards them had changed. If the previous kindness had been a sort of benevolence a superior shows to the younger generation, now Huang Daoqi seemed to be treating them more equally. Undoubtedly, this would further enhance their status and security in Fenglong City. The arrival of the Moke Dragon Knight was certainly a significant trial, but having passed through it, they were truly integrated.
