Chapter 1108: Chapter 1108 Zhangliang Ruixiao
“Zhangliang Ruixiao!” Huang Yuanlang’s expression visibly changed upon seeing the young man.
A four-character name? Both Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu were somewhat surprised.
The youth known as Zhangliang Ruixiao looked at Huang Yuanlang with disdain and said, “What, you don’t want to introduce me? Then I’ll introduce myself. Hello, beautiful ladies, I am Zhangliang Ruixiao from Rui Long City. My ancestor is the Rui Xiao Dragon Knight.”
Without a doubt, this was a family with a Dragon Knight heritage. Moreover, judging by Zhangliang Ruixiao’s expression, his ancestor likely held a high rank in his family.
Their family line carried the Dragon Knight bloodline inheritance, which obviously was not on the same level as the Imperial family backed by Dragon Knights.
Huang Yuanlang stepped sideways to stand in front of Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu and said, “Zhangliang Ruixiao, these two are members of our family. Xiuxiu and Lan. The Ascending Dragon Competition is about to start.”
...He emphasized the last sentence, but it carried an undertone of apprehension, making it clear he was reluctant to offend the man before him.
“The Ascending Dragon is mere basics for us. Make way,” Zhangliang Ruixiao said as he brushed Huang Yuanlang aside and stepped in front of Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu with a smile, nodding, “I’ve never heard of two such outstanding beauties in the Imperial family. Our Rui Long City has the protection of our ancestor, and the Rui Long Fruit is renowned across the planet. You are welcome to come and taste it.”
Lan Xuanyu responded indifferently, “Let’s compete first.” Under the illusion of the Treasure Hunting Beast, his voice was clear and chilling, carrying a hint of coldness that kept others at bay.
Zhangliang Ruixiao’s eyes lit up, “You’re Lan, right? Your voice is really nice!”
“Zhangliang, get ready for the competition,” a somewhat deep voice came from not far away at that moment.
Hearing this voice, Zhangliang Ruixiao’s face suddenly changed, and his previous arrogance was instantly reined in, “Brother Long, I’m coming.” With that, he raised his eyebrows at Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu and quickly ran toward the source of the voice.
Following the direction of the incoming voice, Lan Xuanyu saw a tall young man.
The young man was over two meters tall, broad-shouldered and narrow-waisted, with robust arms. His short dark red hair stood on end, and even from the side, his face appeared chiseled, sharply defined as he looked up at the Ascending Dragon Platform with his hands clasped behind his back.
It was clear that an area around him was devoid of other people, and the upper-rank members of the Dragon Clan looking his way showed unmistakable fear in their eyes.
Zhangliang Ruixiao approached him briskly, stopping five meters away, a completely submissive figure compared to his earlier provocative demeanor.
Bai Xiuxiu asked Huang Yuanlang in a low voice, her complexion slightly troubled, “Big brother, who is that?”
Huang Yuanlang replied softly, “That’s Qi Tianlong from Sky Dragon City, the chief direct disciple. He’s one of the favorites in this Ascending Dragon Competition, acclaimed to surely become a Dragon Knight in the future. It is said that he has always suppressed his cultivation during his training, refined his body with the Dragon Power to a very deep state, but always held back from breaking through. Whether it’s cultivation or bloodline, he’s among the best of our generation.”
“And that Zhangliang Ruixiao? What is the Rui Long Fruit?” Bai Xiuxiu continued, her face full of curiosity.
Huang Yuanlang said, “Zhangliang Ruixiao is just a jumping clown.” He clenched his fists noticeably as he spoke.
Lan Xuanyu kept his eyes on his reaction, observing that Huang Yuanlang clearly had a history with Zhangliang Ruixiao, and most likely had suffered at his hands, hence the resentment. And from the way he had earlier hesitated to offend him, it indicated that Zhangliang Ruixiao’s cultivation must be above his own, making him an existence Huang Yuanlang could not contend with.
Adding to that Zhangliang Ruixiao’s attitude toward Qi Tianlong, it showed just how strong Qi Tianlong was. If not God Rank, could it be he possessed the cultivation of an Ultimate Douluo?
Huang Yuanlang took a deep breath, his expression becoming somewhat reserved. He was a man of some schemes. Then, in a low voice, he said, “The Rui Long Fruit is indeed a rare and wonderful item, exclusively owned by Rui Long City. It matures once every five years and is provided for the consumption of Lord Dragon Knights. Rui Long City retains some as well, and indeed, only the Rui Xiao family can offer it.”
Rui Xiao family? It seems this Zhangliang Ruixiao’s family is indeed named after the title of Dragon Knight. Therefore, his real name should be Zhang Liang, and Ruixiao is a title of honor for Dragon Knights. This is how the name Zhangliang Ruixiao originated.
The name Qi Tianlong likely has a similar origin, belonging to the lineage of Sky Dragon.
At that moment, an impassioned dragon roar sounded, causing all the Dragon Clan present to simultaneously lift their heads toward the sky.
At that time, the clouds in the sky suddenly parted to either side, revealing the towering full view of the Ascending Dragon Platform.
And at that moment, from the Ascending Dragon Platform above, a giant dragon spread its wings and descended, and the impassioned roar of the dragon came from its mouth.
Lan Xuanyu’s eyes shimmered with a faint purple as he activated his Purple Demon Eyes to closely observe. When he looked at the giant dragon, his eyes started to feel a slight sting. It was only when the bloodline aura surged upwards and seeped into his eyes that he got better.
It was a giant dragon that measured over four hundred meters in length, covered entirely in gray scales, it appeared no different from the true dragons of the human world. On its massive dragon head were ferocious spikes, and its whole body emitted a strong and fierce aura. With its wings spread out, the body, which should seem tiny from such a distance from the ground, projected a towering presence. A powerful oppressive force spread immensely. The majestic presence made all the Dragon Clan present shudder.
The Lower-rank and Mid-rank Dragon Clan behind immediately knelt down in unison, some even bowing prostrate, paying their respects to the giant dragon in the sky.
Only the High-rank Dragon Clan in front remained standing. However, most of them unconsciously bowed their heads, their faces filled with veneration.
Only a very few could still lift their heads to look toward the sky.
This did not even include Bai Xiuxiu nor the earlier provoking Zhangliang Ruixiao.
Lan Xuanyu felt a gaze on him and naturally looked over, just in time to see Qi Tianlong’s face directly.
His face was resolute, and there was a dark red aura swirling in his eyes, as if containing magma within. A few dark red scales appeared on his neck but retracted the next moment.
When their eyes met, a hint of surprise flashed through Qi Tianlong’s eyes—it was clear he was astonished that Lan Xuanyu could still keep his eyes open and look up at the giant dragon in the sky.
He nodded at Lan Xuanyu and then turned his gaze back to the sky.
The giant dragon circled down around the Ascending Dragon Platform, its form growing larger and larger in sight, and its commanding dragon’s presence continued to tower.
Another impassioned dragon roar sounded, shaking the air around with its deafening sound.
Only then did Lan Xuanyu see that, above the head of the gray giant dragon, there stood a man.
He was a man of ordinary appearance, but with the giant dragon as a backdrop, he displayed a contemptuous demeanor seemingly of the entire world. Because of the distance, it was impossible to judge his height, but it was visible that he was wearing a set of Black Dragon God Armor, covering his entire body, yet without a helmet, allowing his black hair to fly freely behind his head.
There were none of the sharp armor spikes piercing into the Mount Dragon’s head like the Moke Dragon Knight portraits Lan Xuanyu had seen. He simply stood atop the gray giant dragon’s head, allowing the dragon to soar in the sky without any sign of instability.
Dragon Knight, without a doubt, this was a true Dragon Knight, and furthermore, one who rode on the back of a Mount Dragon.
