616: You still need to have dreams

Right then, Wan Xixi's voice rang out from outside Yang Lingchen's door: "Yang Lingchen, come out quickly, the Great Competition is about to begin."

Hearing the voice, Yang Lingchen hurriedly left the haotian jade space, then did a quick tidy-up and opened the door. "I'm all set, let's head out."

"Mhm." Wan Xixi nodded. She looked at Yang Lingchen carefully and, for some reason, found that after not seeing him for only half a month, he possessed an indescribable temperament.

"You've had a Breakthrough?" Wan Xixi asked in surprise.

"Mhm..." Yang Lingchen nodded with a smile.

"Then do you have confidence in becoming the champion of this Great Competition?" Wan Xixi gave a faint smile.

"That's hard to say, but there's one thing I'm certain of—no one besides Long Aotian is a match for me." A confident light flashed in Yang Lingchen's eyes.

Long Aotian was, after all, the top Genius of the Dragon Clan, and his cultivation had already reached the Ninth Layer of the Haotian Realm Peak. His true combat strength far exceeded that of ordinary people, so Yang Lingchen did not have absolute certainty.

"Just do your best, don't feel pressured," Wan Xixi said with concern.

"Are you worried about me?" The corner of Yang Lingchen's mouth curled into a slight arc.

"Who's worried about you?" Wan Xixi said with a playful pout. "It's just that I used you last time, so I wanted to be a bit nicer to you, that's all."

"You don't need to take it to heart; you already paid with the haoyuan fruit," Yang Lingchen said with a laugh.

Although he had offended the Third Prince, he didn't regret it. If he had to choose between the haoyuan fruit and offending the Third Prince, he would still choose the haoyuan fruit.

One had to know that under normal Cultivation circumstances, it would take a very long time to break through a minor Realm. To get an opportunity for a minor Realm Breakthrough just by acting as a shield once was very worth it for him.

Most importantly, after breaking through to the Haotian Realm Fourth Layer, he had even more confidence in winning the championship of this Great Competition.

And once he won the championship, he would obtain a drop of holy dragon milk. At that time, Yang Lingchen's cultivation would undergo a qualitative leap. Even if the Third Prince wanted to find trouble with him then, he would have nothing to fear.

Yang Lingchen and Wan Xixi went down from the pavilion, where Wan Qianqian had already been waiting for a long time.

"Let's go!"

Having said that, Wan Qianqian took the lead and walked out.

The three of them then boarded a beast carriage and drove all the way out of Sacred Dragon City.

War God Valley was a large canyon where Sacred Dragon City was located, and it was also the venue for every Dragon God Star Domain Great Competition.

War God Valley covered a vast area and was surrounded by five great mountains. The Spiritual Qi here was abundant and the terrain was unique, making it one of the best locations for combat.

At this moment, countless Yao Race members had already gathered on the Peaks surrounding War God Valley, and the atmosphere at the scene was exceptionally lively.

The Dragon God Star Domain Great Competition was a Peak gathering between the various major powers of the Dragon God Star Domain. Therefore, whenever the day of the Great Competition began, it would attract countless Yao Race members to watch the battles.

The Dragon God Star Domain was vast, and its large and small powers were too numerous to count, but only one hundred powers could participate in the Dragon God Star Domain Great Competition.

These one hundred powers could be considered the Peak powers of the Dragon God Star Domain.

Under Wan Qianqian's lead, the three of them arrived at the exclusive seats for Myriad Demon City.

"This is the Great Competition. Are you confident in entering the top ten?" Wan Qianqian asked casually.

"If it's just entering the top ten, there's no difficulty at all for me." A confident light appeared in Yang Lingchen's eyes.

"So confident. It seems your goal is far beyond just the top ten," Wan Qianqian said charmingly.

"Of course. I only have one goal, and that is the championship."

A faint smile appeared on Yang Lingchen's face. He had come specifically for the championship; in his eyes, not winning it was a failure.

"If you can win the championship, I can betroth Xixi to you?" Wan Qianqian smiled seductively.

"Sister, why don't you betroth yourself to him? Whether he wins the championship or not, what does it have to do with me?" Wan Xixi hurriedly spoke up.

"You silly girl, now that our parents are no longer around, I have the right to decide your marriage affairs," Wan Qianqian said.

"Stop worrying about me. If you want to marry, marry him yourself, don't bring me into it," Wan Xixi said crossly.

Yang Lingchen smiled indifferently from the side. "City Lord, I originally wanted to take the championship, but since Xixi doesn't agree, I'll just settle for second place."

"You bastard, are you ever going to stop?" Wan Xixi said with a playful glare. "If you don't get the championship, I'll have my sister throw you into the arena."

"Then I guess I'd better just take the championship," Yang Lingchen laughed heartily.

"Kid, do you really think the championship is that easy to take?" Wan Qianqian smiled enchantingly.

"Whether it's hard or not is one thing, but at least one must still have dreams. What if it comes true?" Yang Lingchen said with a smile.

"What you say makes sense. Only with dreams can there be drive. Good luck!" Wan Qianqian gave a shallow smile.

Just then, a middle-aged man with a majestic build and an invisible pressure appearing about him appeared on the high platform of War God Valley.

This majestically built middle-aged man was none other than the younger brother of the current Dragon Emperor, the Heaven-Propping Dragon King, Long Yanbin.

His sharp eyes scanned the surroundings, and a powerful aura radiated from his body, causing the scene to instantly fall silent.

"Today is the once-in-ten-thousand-years Dragon God Star Domain Great Competition. This competition will be personally supervised by this King. Next, I will explain the rules of the competition in detail for everyone," Long Yanbin said loudly.

Following that, he introduced the rules and rewards of this Great Competition in detail.

At the same time, Long Yanbin emphasized one point: on the arena, life and death are determined by fate. No person or power may intervene in the battles on the arena, or it will be regarded as a provocation against the Dragon Clan.

The total number of participants in this Great Competition was two hundred and ten people. Among them, the Dragon Clan occupied as many as ten spots, while all other powers combined had two hundred people.

The Dragon Clan would not participate in the first round. When the various Yao Race powers determined their top ten, these winners would respectively fight the top ten geniuses of the Dragon Clan. The final victors would be the top ten of this Great Competition.

The final round would be the battle for the championship.

Based on past records, there was almost no possibility for the various Yao Races to squeeze into the top ten because the Dragon Clan's strength was right there. Within the same Realm, the Dragon Clan was an almost invincible existence.

As the Great Competition kicked off, a White-Haired Elder appeared on the high platform. This person was named Huo Guang, and he was the host of this Great Competition. All battles were coordinated and arranged by him, while Long Yanbin was only responsible for supervision.

Under Huo Guang's arrangement, the contestants from the various Yao Races began their battles one after another.

Fortunately, War God Valley was spacious enough to allow multiple battles to take place simultaneously, so the first round proceeded very smoothly.

In less than half an hour, it was Yang Lingchen's turn.

"Good luck!"

As Yang Lingchen passed by her, Wan Xixi said softly.

"Mhm!" Yang Lingchen nodded with a smile, then his figure flew into the air and slowly landed on the arena in War God Valley.

"Holy crap, what is this guy doing?"

"Eh? This guy is only at the Haotian Realm Fourth Layer. Is he here to be a joke?"

"Your news is too outdated! You don't even recognize him?"

"Then why don't you tell us who he is?"

"This guy is called Yang Lingchen. He is a contestant from Myriad Demon City for this Great Competition. It's said that half a month ago, he attended the banquet hosted by Long Aotian. At that time, he made a grand showing, defeating the Ninth Layer Haotian Realm Moluoji in a single move."

"He's Yang Lingchen? Wasn't it said that Yang Lingchen was only at the Haotian Realm Third Layer? This guy is clearly at the Haotian Realm Fourth Layer!"

"Maybe he had a Breakthrough in the last couple of days."

"Then do you think he can win this time?"

"It's hard to say. That guy Tuntian Xiong's strength is clearly much stronger than Moluoji's. It won't be that easy for Yang Lingchen to defeat him."

For a moment, the scene was filled with discussions, but most people did not favor Yang Lingchen. After all, the gap in their cultivation was too large.

Some people who didn't know Yang Lingchen even felt that he wouldn't be able to take a single move from Tuntian Xiong... To be continued!
