Chapter 1138: Chapter 1138: Shadow Dragon
Because it’s a pseudo-spatial property, it does not possess full spatial properties, but it can utilize distorted space to achieve the characteristic of transforming itself. Speed is its strength.
Lan Xuanyu did not underestimate his opponent, especially among many mid-rank, low-rank, and even top-rank members of the Dragon Clan. The fact that he had stood out from the elimination round and entered the cycle race had fully proved his strength.
Huang Yuanlang had once warned him, many times, that mid-rank Dragon Clan members could be even more dangerous than lower-rank ones with slightly less strength in the cycle races.
Those mid-rank Dragon Clan members who entered the cycle race all did so purely by virtue of their strength. They were not only strong but also very desperate. Once the battle began, they would be even more aggressive than the top-rank Dragon Clan. Moreover, their ability to stand out meant they definitely had something special.
Lin Zexuan nodded to Lan Xuanyu, his greenish-blue eyes shimmering with determination, and walked into the number three combat zone first.
Walking in front, Lan Xuanyu could see from behind that this person even had some unhealed scars. His somewhat slender body was, however, firm and upright.
Looking at him, Lan Xuanyu unconsciously thought of Liu Feng.
Among their seven companions, in terms of talent, Liu Feng was probably the weakest. But he was also the one who tried the hardest among the seven. Only Liu Feng knew how much he had sacrificed to keep up with everyone.
Lan Xuanyu had always known that Liu Feng was not the weakest among the seven. If it truly came down to a critical battle, Liu Feng might unleash extremely terrifying combat power.
Will to fight was also an important part of strength.
According to Huang Yuanlang’s evaluation, this person’s strength ranked among the bottom three of all ten people. But purely from the perspective of will to fight, he was not so simple.
Both sides entered the arena and took their positions. By then, the first contestants of all ten combat areas had been announced, and everyone had entered the combat zones.

Lan Xuanyu’s gaze swept across, combined with the sensing of his spiritual power, he couldn’t help but nod inwardly.
Entering the cycle race stage, it was completely different from the previous elimination rounds. There was not a single high-rank Dragon Clan acting casually anymore. Everyone was extremely serious in facing their opponents.
This was a stage to showcase strength, with dozens of God level strength dragon clan members watching. It could be said that this was their best opportunity to show themselves. Even if they were to lose, they had to give it their all and display everything they could. Only by doing so could they strive for better opportunities for their future, especially the chance to become a Dragon Knight.
“The first round, the first match, begin!” Along with the announcement from that God Rank Dragon Clan elder, the Ascending Dragon Contest cycle race officially started.
Lan Xuanyu’s opponent, almost instantly, made a move. His huge wings flapped violently, the air around his body suddenly twisted, bringing up a trail of afterimages as he soared into the air. His ash-blue dragon body darted into the sky at once.
Lin Zexuan clearly knew where his strengths lay; his most powerful abilities were speed and flying. In the air, he could fully display his greatest strengths.
Just like how Huang Yuanlang helped Lan Xuanyu and his teammates study their opponents, these contestants had all researched their group’s opponents extensively, especially their strengths and other characteristics.
Lan Xuanyu’s ability was strength, which was already well-known. He could even block the frontal charge of the Blue-Green Elephant Dragon, and his strength was absolutely terrifying.
Moreover, up to this point in the previous elimination rounds, Lan Xuanyu had never fought in his dragon form. He had always fought in his human form.
To maintain a distance, air combat. That was the tactic Lin Zexuan set for himself. No matter how strong you are, you have to reach me first. If you can’t, then strength means nothing.
The moment Lin Zexuan ascended, Lan Xuanyu also took to the sky. He stomped his left foot on the ground, and his body shot up like a golden arrow.
If he could exert all his strength right now, he would directly engage the space elements. His opponent’s pseudo-spatial ability would be completely suppressed by him, and he couldn’t even use it.
But what he could display now was only the Golden Dragon King’s bloodline, excelling in strength. Naturally, he couldn’t do otherwise.
“Boom!” A huge force caused the Ascending Dragon Platform to rumble. Had it been an ordinary rocky surface, it would likely have blasted a large hole, but the platform remained unshaken, leaving not a single mark.
The tremendous force instantly propelled Lan Xuanyu’s body into the air. The Divine Dragon Armor instantly attached itself to him, and the armor made from the Mountain Dragon King’s bones instantly transmitted the enormous force to Lan Xuanyu’s body. He did not use the Dragonlance, but instead chased directly after his opponent. A pair of golden dragon wings unfolded behind him.
A gray-blue shadow flickered, and in an instant, Lin Zexuan’s body paused, then split into three. Three shadows charged at Lan Xuanyu from three different directions.
The air was instantly split, and minute space cracks resembling Dimensional Cuts swiftly blanketed the air, all slicing towards Lan Xuanyu.
Air combat techniques, huh?
A smile appeared on Lan Xuanyu’s lips. Of course, his opponent could not see it. His faceplate effectively concealed all his expressions.
Want to fight me in the air? Win by relying on speed and aerial combat skills?
Alright, I’ll indulge you!
Lan Xuanyu flipped his body, instantly revealing his Dragon Clan Self Body. However, his body wasn’t as large as it normally was in dragon form, maintaining a length of only about ten meters. His body was enveloped in golden light. His dragon wings flapped, and his body accelerated instantly.
Their battle was incredibly fast, and among the first round, it was the most noticeable and watched.
There was no helping it; the name of the Golden Dragon Princess was just too prominent. Not to mention the previous recognition given by Moke Dragon Knight Luo Lan. This made all the God-level strong ones also pay close attention to this battle.
Lan Xuanyu’s body moved like an Electric Flash, his speed astonishingly fast. Under everyone’s gaze, despite being surrounded by three Lin Zexuan figures and amidst numerous space cracks, he forcefully broke through.
The participating contestants below couldn’t see very clearly. It seemed to them like Lan Xuanyu had just forcefully charged out. But the God-level Dragon Clan members watching from a distance didn’t see it that way.
Their vision was much stronger, so they could see everything clearly.
Even Moke Dragon Knight Luo Lan and Holy Light Dragon Knight Huang Liangwei showed a hint of surprise on their faces.
Fast, too fast! What shocked them was that despite such high speed, the flying skills Lan Xuanyu displayed surprised them.
In between flips, Lan Xuanyu accelerated instantly, passing through gaps between the space cracks. The sucking force from those fine space cracks seemed utterly ineffective on him. Not a single crack could truly land on him. The three shadows attacking him completely missed.
That is, Lan Xuanyu didn’t rely on brute strength to charge out; he completely relied on flying skills to maneuver through the gaps in the attacks.
No one expected that he had mastered flying skills to such an extent.
Though all Dragon Clan members could fly, how they flew really varied.
They didn’t know that at this moment, the one engaged in aerial combat held a prestigious title within the Douluo Federation, known as Super God 58.
Originally, Lan Xuanyu couldn’t fly, but his fighter jet could!
His flying talent, even praised endlessly by such a demanding teacher as Tang Zhenhua, was evident. Possessing the Martial Soul True Body allowed him to transform into a dragon. The ability to fly like a fighter jet was different, in fact, more agile. His body’s sensitivity was much sharper.
Everything a fighter jet could do, every movement it could execute, he could achieve through the output of Soul Power. Moreover, some maneuvers that the fighter jet couldn’t execute could be accomplished by leveraging his Dragon Clan body.
