Chapter 323: Central State Long Clan, Long Ao Jiao (Part 2)
Chapter 323: Central State Long Clan, Long Ao Jiao (Part 2)
But this time...
Dragon Ao Jiao showed little interest.
She had already witnessed these two secret arts on Dragon Three and successfully evolved them.
"Battle Word Secret!"
She formed seals with her hands, but this time, instead of evolving someone else's secret art, she was evolving her own divine art!
The Boundless Light instantly surged, transforming into a seven-colored divine light.
The Tyrant Heaven Finger directly ascended by more than one level!
"Four Fingers, Unmatched!"
Boom!!!
In a battle that was almost earth-shattering, Dragon Two... became the fastest to be defeated.
As he was suppressed and fell to the ground, coughing up blood, Dragon Two's face was filled with shock and disbelief: "You? Me? This? What?!"
"What do you mean?"
Dragon Ao Jiao spoke calmly: "You lost."
"Go and call your Divine Son."
Dragon Three, Dragon Four, and Dragon Five gathered together, pointing and whispering to Dragon Two.
Dragon Two's eyes turned red as he witnessed everything.
Damn it!!!
I actually became the fastest to lose, and they're even mocking me?!
"Damn it!!!"
"Hey, Dragon Two, don't be angry, and don't be discouraged," Dragon Five quickly said. "We're not laughing at you. Well, I just remembered something exciting."
"What exciting thing?"
"It's just... something exciting!" Dragon Five scratched his head.
"Yeah, me too!" Dragon Three grinned.
Dragon Four's eyes lit up. "My mother gave birth."
"You guys..."
Dragon Four waved his hand. "Hey~! That's not very civilized. We can all see that Ao Jiao is not trying to delay time, so she gave it her all."
"So, you lost faster than us, and it's not our fault. Go and get the Divine Son quickly."
"Don't let people laugh at us."
Dragon Two: "I'm so pissed off!!!"
He left with his face covered.
It was truly embarrassing!
...
The Dragon Clan's Divine Son, the First Sequence—Dragon One, made his appearance!
He held a folding fan, his demeanor graceful, and his appearance was that of a refined young master and a handsome young man.
Upon seeing Dragon Ao Jiao, he remained calm and composed, neither arrogant nor impatient, and instead, he bowed respectfully: "Miss Ao Jiao, I've heard of your great name, and I've been looking forward to sparring with you as well."
"How about you take a short break first and recover to your peak, then we can exchange pointers?"
"You seem like a rather pleasant person."
Dragon Ao Jiao's mood improved significantly.
When she first arrived in the Central State, she was truly disgusted by those three of the Wang family.
However, after careful consideration, these few members of the Dragon Clan didn't seem to have that kind of arrogant and disrespectful attitude towards 'country bumpkins'.
Could it be...
They knew she was Dragon Ao Jiao?
Forget it, she didn't want to think about it.
Dragon Ao Jiao waved her fair and tender hand: "Why bother with such trouble? Defeating them won't take much effort. Just go ahead and show them what you've got!"
Dragon... Two, Three, Four, and Five's faces turned pale.
We're at least part of the Dragon Clan's sequence, and we're even among the top-ranked members of the Dragon Clan. Are we really that incompetent in your eyes?
It's so humiliating!
"In that case, please excuse me."
Dragon One raised his hand lightly: "I know that Miss Ao Jiao is very strong, so I won't test you. This is one of our clan's ancestral divine arts—Dragon Blood Boil!"
Boom!
Dragon One's cultivation soared, directly reaching the peak of the eighth stage.
"Next, I'll demonstrate another of our clan's ancestral divine arts."
"Dragon Roar Nine Heavens!"
Dragon One took a deep breath.
As he opened his mouth again, the dragon's roar shook the nine heavens!
The sound waves spread in circles, and Dragon Ao Jiao, being the closest, was directly affected!
As Dragon Ao Jiao evolved these two divine arts with the Battle Word Secret, she narrowed her eyes, slightly surprised: "Oh? This is interesting..."
Her entire body trembled!
The Dragon Roar Nine Heavens didn't seem too powerful, but in reality, it was terrifying.
The sound waves penetrated everywhere, shaking the eardrums to the point of shattering them instantly.
At the same time, this dragon's roar also targeted the divine soul.
This was a divine art that affected both the body and the soul, and it was a large-scale technique. During the evolution process, Dragon Ao Jiao even discovered that this Dragon Roar Nine Heavens had a strong suppressing effect on 'beastly' races.
"It's actually the Dragon Clan's treasure art?!"
In the Moon Holding Sect, Dragon Ao Jiao had fought with Little Dragon Girl, Ao Bing, and the Fire Qilin multiple times.
She had also witnessed the True Dragon's treasure art.
But whether it was Little Dragon Girl or Ao Bing's True Dragon treasure art, it didn't compare to this 'Dragon Blood Boil' and 'Dragon Roar Nine Heavens'!
"Perhaps... because they are true dragons, there's no need for Dragon Blood Boil."
"As for Dragon Roar Nine Heavens... maybe it's just the complete body of a true dragon roaring in the nine heavens?"
This thought startled Dragon Ao Jiao.
Damn it, if that's the case, the True Dragon Clan is incredibly powerful!
Most importantly, the Dragon Clan's dragon is actually related to the Dragon Clan?
Is there some connection between the Dragon Clan and the True Dragon Clan?
She was surprised but also delighted.
"However, if that's the case, by evolving these True Dragon treasure arts and leaving them in the Moon Holding Sect, I can repay the favor I owe to Lin Fan, right?"
“Not bad!”
Her eyes lit up, and she was delighted. She took a big step forward, approaching the terrifying sound waves that were constantly approaching. The Tyrant Heaven Fist in her hand was like a divine art, fiercely slamming out!
“Wonderful!”
“What a powerful technique.”
Dragon One's eyes flashed with light: “You can take my attack too!”
Boom!
Another True Dragon Dispersing Hand.
On his right fist, a dragon claw aura evolved, clashing fiercely with the Tyrant Heaven Fist.
Boom!
The void trembled.
Even the sound waves were scattered.
Both parties retreated simultaneously, but their gazes were filled with intense light.
“You're not bad!”
“Among the people of this generation, those who have fought me and are almost on par with you are no more than three.”
Long Ao Jiao praised.
“Oh?” Dragon One couldn't help but smile wryly: “So, Ao Jiao, you've fought with very few celestial prodigies.”
“As far as I know, there are more than three who have defeated me.”
Long Ao Jiao: “...No, don't misunderstand.”
“I'm not saying you're so strong that you have no rivals. What I mean is, among those who have fought me, only three are on par with you.”
“But there are also several who have defeated you.”
“There are also many who aren't your match yet, but their potential exceeds yours. In at most ten or eight years, it won't be difficult for them to surpass you.”
Dragon One: “...”
His face twitched, and his eyelids jumped.
Damn.
I can only say, damn.
“Don't you believe me?”
Long Ao Jiao said indifferently: “I never boast.”
She felt that she truly wasn't boasting.
Dragon One was still very strong. When he sparred with the Golden Phoenix Son without using divine weapons, they were almost on par, well, except for that bastard Fan Jianqiang.
That bastard didn't show his true strength, mainly because he was too cautious. Even I couldn't force his hand, so I'll just put him in that position for now.
As for Lu Ming...
Based on his performance in Hongwu Immortal City, he's stronger than Dragon One.
There's also the Double Pupil user. Although they haven't formally fought, he's definitely stronger than Dragon One.
Speaking of talent surpassing Dragon One...
That's something to count on fingers.
Most of Dragon One's personal disciples have talents surpassing his, right? Even if their talents are inferior to Dragon One's, they have their unique strengths, and it won't be a problem for them to surpass Dragon One in the future.
There's also that woman with a body full of mysterious techniques...
Speaking of which, Dragon One's talent is something I can't quite understand.
Long Ao Jiao was thinking.
But that 'sincere' look on her face made Dragon One feel a bit sad.
You, a newcomer from the Southwest Region...
Have you already ranked me so low?
Am I really that bad?
“But don't be discouraged.”
Suddenly, Long Ao Jiao said: “After all, there aren't many people who can enter my eyes.”
Dragon One: “...”
Are you comforting me or pointing it out?
“Again!”
Dragon One expressed his dissatisfaction!
After half an hour, he gave up.
Although he fought back and used all his techniques, he was ultimately no match for Long Ao Jiao. He was suppressed by her and had no choice but to admit defeat.
“Ao Jiao, you're amazing.”
“I'm impressed, impressed.”
Thus, the top five of the Dragon Clan, including the Celestial Son Dragon One, all suffered the same fate—they were all defeated by Long Ao Jiao one after the other!
“Not bad, not bad.”
“Ao Jiao, your performance is very good.”
At some point, an old man with white hair and a childlike face quietly appeared, praising with a smile.
“Second Elder!”
Dragon Five and the others hurriedly saluted, and Dragon One, the Celestial Son, also lightly nodded in greeting.
“No need for such courtesy.”
The Second Elder smiled: “Ao Jiao, follow me. I have something to discuss with you in detail.”
With a wave of his hand, he was about to teleport with Long Ao Jiao.
Long Ao Jiao frowned slightly but didn't resist.
The next second, she appeared with the Second Elder in the depths of the Dragon Clan's territory, and before her eyes...
were seven old men.
All of them were Ninth Stage existences!
This faint oppressive feeling made Long Ao Jiao's heart skip a beat.
Could it be...
that her thoughts had been seen through by them?
“Do you want to see me?”
Although she was a bit flustered, it wasn't a big problem.
Long Ao Jiao asked with a bow, and with a hint of testing, she looked at the group.
“Yes.”
They all smiled, even the one who had opposed her earlier showed no sign of dissatisfaction.
“Your talent is very good.”
“Moreover, just now, you've proven yourself. From now on, you will be our clan's Celestial Maiden.”
Long Ao Jiao: “...”
“???”
Hearing this, Long Ao Jiao was a bit dumbfounded, but she quickly reacted and said: “Although my surname is Long, I'm not from your Central State Dragon Clan's bloodline.”
“Why do you say that?”
The First Elder laughed: “Have you tested it?”
Long Ao Jiao: “...No, I haven't.”
“Then that's it.” The First Elder smiled even more: “You haven't tested it, but how do you know you're not from our clan's branch?”
“This...”
Long Ao Jiao blinked, even more confused.
It's as if they had tested it!
“Moreover,”
The Second Elder chimed in: “The Long surname, ultimately, has only one ancestor. Even if your lineage has long lost contact with our clan, we are still one family.”
“In the end, we are all one family.”
“With such talent and such a demeanor, you will be our clan's Celestial Maiden.”
“This...”
Long Ao Jiao finally understood.
These people...
are...
sticking to her, huh?
Seeing her talent and demeanor, they want to forcefully keep her as the Dragon Clan's Celestial Maiden.
And change her name to Dragon One?
Pfft!
Not to mention, that name...
what a terrible name!
It's not as good as Long Ao Jiao.
In the vast Long Clan, naming a child was not as easy as it was for Lin Fan and his family.
Thinking of this, her expression turned solemn, "What if I refuse?"
"Don't be hasty."
The First Elder raised his hand slightly, his smile filled with kindness, and said, "This matter is entirely up to you. A forced decision won't bear sweet fruit, and we would never force you to stay against your will."
"But staying in the Long Clan and becoming our Celestial Maiden would only bring you a hundred benefits and no harm, right?"
"You should understand the pros and cons."
"But there are some things you don't know."
"What doesn't Miss Long know?" Long Ao Jiao's arrogance was showing.
"The treatment of our Celestial Maiden."
The First Elder spoke softly, "Our Celestial Maiden is destined to be a heavenly prodigy. All the resources and expenses for her cultivation will be provided by our clan."
"Without any limits."
"All kinds of divine arts can be practiced freely."
"Outside, there will always be Ninth Stage cultivators to protect you."
"Within the clan, whatever you desire, as long as it's not unreasonable, our clan can find it for you."
"Even if you wish to cultivate the secret arts of other clans, as long as it genuinely benefits you, our clan..."
"...can also find a way."
"As for status, it goes without saying."
"..."
The various benefits were laid out one by one.
Even Long Ao Jiao was moved.
This Long Clan was not the one she originally belonged to!
Although the Long Clan was not a Holy Land, it was already very close to that level of power. For such a clan to 'value' their Celestial Prodigy so highly and offer such support... If she became their Celestial Maiden, the benefits would be truly immense.
But something was amiss! She was planning to use them against the Feather Race.
Long Ao Jiao frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "But what if it turns out I'm not of the Long Clan's bloodline?"
"No harm done."
The First Elder chuckled, "As I said earlier, thousands of years ago, we were one family."
Long Ao Jiao: "..."
"I can also give you a promise."
"As long as you agree and swear a Heavenly Dao Oath, helping our clan in the future and not turning against us, our clan will grant you three conditions."
"Even slaying Ninth Stage cultivators would be within your power."
"As for the Wang Clan and other forces you've provoked, there's no need to worry. They..."
"...have already been dealt with."
The seven elders fixed their gazes on Long Ao Jiao, their eyes filled with sincerity and anticipation.
Seeing this, Long Ao Jiao furrowed her brows deeply.
They didn't rush her, but quietly waited for her answer.
After a moment, Long Ao Jiao spoke softly, "There's something I need to clarify."
"I didn't come here with good intentions."
She decided to change her approach.
Initially, she had indeed planned to use the Long Clan to weaken the Feather Race, but at this moment, it didn't feel right.
At the very least, she couldn't get past the hurdle in her heart.
Especially when others were treating her with such sincerity, she couldn't bear the thought of betraying them and causing the entire Feather Race, perhaps even the entire Demonic Race, to turn against them. Her conscience wouldn't allow it.
Long Ao Jiao, despite being known for her 'recklessness', lack of concern for minor details, ruthlessness, and intimidating aura... was still a person of flesh and blood, and she took pride in herself.
It was precisely because of her pride that she couldn't get past this hurdle.
Moreover, she had no grudge against the Long Clan. The moment she arrived, she had defeated their Celestial Prodigy, and yet they still treated her so well and even offered such generous conditions for her to become their Celestial Maiden.
And they had even prepared a welcome gift.
If she went through with her plan, wouldn't she be no different from Tang Wu?
So, she decided to be straightforward.
However.
The seven elders showed no surprise, and one of them even chuckled, "I guessed as much."
Long Ao Jiao: "..."
"If I become your Celestial Maiden, my affairs are the clan's affairs, and there's no need to ask further."
"What if the opponent is too powerful?"
The First Elder smiled, "Our clan has never been afraid."
"..."
After a moment of silence, Long Ao Jiao shook her head, "I refuse."
"Why?"
"The opponent is from the Feather Race," Long Ao Jiao said calmly.
The seven elders of the Long Clan: "(⊙o⊙)..."
The First Elder also fell silent.
The intimidating aura he had just displayed couldn't be retracted, and he was left with an embarrassed expression.
"The Feather Race..."
They exchanged glances.
The Long Clan wasn't afraid of the Feather Race, but that didn't mean they could defeat them. Moreover, the Feather Race was part of the Demonic Race, and if they pushed too hard, the entire Demonic Race might stand against them.
Even the Long Clan wouldn't dare to act arrogantly or make bold claims in this matter.
"Since you've treated me with sincerity, I can't bring myself to betray you. I'll come clean," Long Ao Jiao said, standing tall with her slender, fair neck glowing.
"I can't bear the shame!"
"After I leave, I'll find a way to deal with the Feather Race. You, the Long Clan, can pretend to be unaware, so as not to be implicated by me."
With a wave of her hand, Long Ao Jiao was about to leave.
"Wait!"
"Hold on!" The First Elder stopped her, "The Feather Race is indeed troublesome, but with our clan's support, they can't harm you."
"Stay in our clan as our Celestial Maiden. With your talent, in this Golden Age, surpassing us old folks won't take long."
"Moreover, you can cultivate in the clan, and when you possess the power to dominate and suppress an era, then it won't be too late to deal with the Feather Race!"
"At that time, our clan will follow your lead, even if it means wiping out the entire Feather Race!"
"Well said."
Long Ao Jiao turned back and said calmly, "But I don't like owing favors."
"Nor do I like being a coward who hides and cultivates."
"Otherwise, what's the point of my coming here?"
