Outside the arena, the watching crowd suddenly erupted into a frenzy.

This kind of pure strength and direct physical combat was exactly what they hoped to see, especially with the unrestrained ferocity of the Lei Cang Violent Dragon…

As for the distinguished guests in the taverns, their faces were ashen.

The numbers they had spent a great deal of money on were all wiped out by Big Black Tooth.

The problem was, no one had any confidence in Zhu Minglang from the start.

Those who didn’t know Zhu Minglang basically wouldn’t bet on his victory, and those who knew him were even more aware that his sword cultivation was ruined. He was no longer young when he started on the path of a Dragon Trainer, so what achievements could he possibly have?

“Isn’t that Zhu Minglang?” one of the elders from the Azure Dragon Palace finally recognized the young man, expressing his surprise.

“He is Zhu Minglang??” Fu Jinguo had already come down from the arena, her gaze fixed on the man who had defeated her.

In this competition of the great powers, it was mostly the Big Disciples participating, so their ages weren’t too small, nor would there be anyone over thirty in the competition, especially from those major forces that care greatly about their reputation.

Therefore, there were no explicit regulations for the participants in the competition, but the main purpose was still to provide an opportunity for the younger members to showcase themselves.

In this session of the competition, Zhu Minglang was of the same generation as many of the big forces’ younger members. The vast majority of them knew there was such a person at the Yaoshan Sword Sect and were aware that he came from the Zhu Clan.

“What kind of person is Zhu Minglang? We’ve never heard of him in the Dragon Trainers’ domain,” asked Lu Bin, the Big Disciple of the Azure Dragon Palace.

“Big Brother, I have heard of this person. It is said that he emerged from the Yaoshan Sword Sect’s Big Disciples trial at the age of fifteen, so strong that even some of the master-uncle level figures were no match for him. He has quite a reputation in the Imperial City!” said Fu Jinguo.

Fu Jinguo was also surprised herself.

She had just seen the owner of the Lei Cang Violent Dragon up close and hadn’t recognized him as Zhu Minglang.

After all, at some grand feasts, she had seen from afar this legendary man whose brilliance overshadowed all his peers…

At that time, many of the sisters took pride in knowing Zhu Minglang.

“If he is a Sword Cultivator, how can he summon a Dragon Beast?” Lu Bin asked, puzzled.

“I heard his Sword Cultivation Level was wasted and he became mundane… Now it seems that he was not willing to fall and chose the Way of the Shepherd Dragon. It looks like he’s done quite well on this path, for he has trained the Lei Cang Violent Dragon exceptionally well,” the elder of the Azure Dragon Palace said, stroking his beard.

“Hmph, I thought he was some incredible character, worthy of the amazement of several powers. With such skills, he won’t even get past the second round, let alone compare to me,” Lu Bin laughed mockingly, seeing his master and junior sister both praising the man endlessly.

Maintaining one’s cultivation base was vital, and someone who had been powerful but could no longer retain it was nothing but a has-been.

Cultivation was something that required a long-term commitment. It wasn’t something that could be achieved by mastering a few clever tricks and getting ahead of one’s peers, winning the praise of elders, teachers, and fellow disciples.

Coming from another country, Lu Bin didn’t know of Zhu Minglang and had little regard for him.

There had been many disciples in the Azure Dragon Palace who ranked above him, but in the end, he had trampled them underfoot!

…

Inside the arena, only four remained.

Apart from Zhu Minglang, the other three were all God and Mortals.

The Lei Cang Violent Dragon wasn’t very interested in God and Mortals, so it didn’t clear them all out.

However, Nan Lingsha, on the other side of the Ancient Bronze Battlefield, chose a few individuals who seemed to have particularly special Powers of God and Mortality, exchanged a few moves with them, and then stood there with an air of disinterest.

No one dared to provoke her, as people nearby had witnessed some seemingly strong individuals being swiftly overwhelmed by her.

“Contestants number fifty-five, fifty-six, nine, and seventy-seven, please proceed to the next round and check the tournament announcements in the city in time to be aware of your next match’s timing!” announced a referee with a loud voice.

Zhu Minglang had already retracted Big Black Tooth back into the Spirit Realm.

Now was not the time to apply medicine to it; it needed to wait for its Fierce Courage Bloodline to slowly cool down.

Fortunately, during the process of blood cooling, the Ancient Dragon’s self-healing instinct would also increase several times. With the enhancement of the spiritual energy from the Spirit Realm, Big Black Tooth could recover in a few days even without taking any healing medicine.

The Spirit Realm not only boosted the growth of Dragon companions but also had a strong effect on their natural cycles and self-healing. Zhu Minglang’s Spirit Realm could now provide an enhancement of about fifteen times.

After entering the Spirit Realm, some of the flesh that had started to fester on Big Black Tooth was slowly growing back, with red threads knitting together like stitches, gradually mending its torn wounds.

Yet, what worried Zhu Minglang was the large gap in its chest; healing that solely by self-regeneration would be somewhat difficult.

“Rest well. After this battle, your strength should soar. Later, I’ll go to Zhu Gate to find some materials and craft you a better set of Dragon Armor,” said Zhu Minglang to Big Black Tooth.

The Silver Green Heavy Armor was already shattered.

Zhu Minglang had already been planning to make a better one, and with the craftsmanship of the Zhu Clan Inner Court, they could create an armor with functions far surpassing that of the Silver Green Heavy Armor!

“Little Qingzhuo, you come back too.”

The Divine Green Holy Dragon clearly had more dominance. On one hand, there were fewer Flying Dragons than Earth Dragons, and on the other, the Divine Green Holy Dragon seemed to be on the verge of entering the next phase; it was much stronger than the other Flying Dragons.

Its aerial combat didn’t present much suspense, so Zhu Minglang allowed the Divine Green Holy Dragon to play out freely.

Exiting the battlefield, a crowd dressed as servants quickly swarmed into the bloodied Ancient Bronze Battlefield, briskly cleansing the entire area…

Zhu Minglang and Nan Lingsha were not too interested in the subsequent matches.

Their goal was to advance to higher rounds to compete against members of stronger forces.

Of course, as Dragon Shepherds, they could easily blend into battles at any level, as all the Dragons raised by Dragon Shepherds couldn’t possibly all be at the same tier. To let their younger Dragon Beasts gain experience, many powerful Dragon Shepherds would also appear in these chaotic combats.

Nan Lingsha probably wouldn’t enter the fray anymore; she had already qualified for the higher rounds.

Zhu Minglang, however, became very interested in this kind of battlefield.

There was no place better suited for training the Lei Cang Violent Dragon and the Divine Green Holy Dragon than this battlefield.

Thus, before the second round of the competition, he decided to swim around more in this pond…
