Chapter 92: Ao Yin and Zhuang Zhou Head to the Dragon Valley
The Star Dou Great Forest, Lake of Life.
When the information about the Dragon Valley was announced, especially the revelation of its "second place" ranking.
Gu Yuena, Di Tian, and the other Ferocious beasts were slightly startled at first, then displayed expressions that suggested they expected this but were also slightly complicated.
"The Dragon Valley... it really made the list."
Di Tian said in a deep voice, excitement shining in his Dragon Eyes.
"My Lord, with the Dragon Valley's assistance, the strength of our clan's children will certainly experience a great leap!"
Gu Yuena nodded slightly, a hint of anticipation flashing in her Purple Eyes.
After she recovered her Peak strength, she had originally intended to find and open the Dragon Valley to obtain this Opportunity for the Soul Beast Clan.
Now that the heavenly curtain had done the job for her, it saved her a lot of effort.
Moreover, with the blessing of the heavenly curtain's rules, the effect seemed even better.
However, Bi Ji frowned slightly, a trace of worry on her elegant face: "My Lord, the heavenly curtain's rules allow anyone to enter..."
"If a large number of human Soul Masters rush in, will they plunder the resources that originally belonged to our clan, or even... disturb and profane the slumber of our Dragon Clan ancestors?"
Hearing this, a cold indifference appeared on Gu Yuena's exquisite face.
She gently shook her head, her tone carrying the absolute confidence befitting the Co-ruler of the Dragon Clan:
"Bi Ji, you worry too much. The Dragon Valley is the Holy Land of our Dragon Clan, and buried within it are the Dragon bones of powerful Divine Beasts."
"The residual Dragon Might and Dragon Soul there—how could ordinary human Soul Masters easily approach or withstand them?"
"Those lacking strength, who attempt to approach the Core Area, will only be crushed by the Dragon Might and suffer backlash from the Dragon Soul."
"As for recognition and Opportunity... the pride of our Dragon Clan runs deep in our bones."
"Human Martial Souls are merely imitations that stole a tiny trace of our Bloodline. Do they want to gain the recognition of the true Dragon Clan ancestors? Wishful thinking!"
"At most, they can only absorb some scattered Dragon Qi on the periphery, or perhaps luckily obtain some leftover Dragon bone fragments."
She paused.
A profound light flashed in her eyes.
"Perfect. We'll use this chance to let those greedy humans offer some'sacrifices' to the tomb of our ancestors."
"They covet the Opportunity, so they must pay the price, and we..."
Gu Yuena's gaze sharpened: "Our primary goal for this trip is the deepest part of the Dragon Valley: the Core Legacy that the Dragon God may have left behind, and those few most complete Dragon King skeletons!"
"That is the key that can truly transform the foundation of our clan!"
"Everything else is just minor embellishment."
Hearing Gu Yuena's analysis.
Di Tian, Bi Ji, and the other Ferocious beasts nodded in unison.
All worries in their hearts vanished.
They were replaced by strong anticipation and determination for the trip to the Dragon Valley.
The announcement of the Dragon Valley Opportunity.
Once again drew the continent's attention away from the Core Area of the Soul Beast Clan... to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
When the detailed information about the Dragon Valley, accompanied by that vast and ancient Dragon Might, was transmitted through the heavenly curtain.
The entire great hall fell into a deathly silence.
Which was then broken by heavy, fervent breathing.
Sect Master Yu Yuanzhen suddenly stood up from the main seat, his chest heaving violently.
His eyes erupted with unprecedented greed and excitement, fixed intensely on every description of the Dragon Valley on the light screen.
Dragon Qi Body Tempering, Dragon Soul Resonance, Dragon Bone Bounty, Dragon God's Grace!
"The Dragon Valley! The Dragon Clan Cemetery! Countless True Dragon Skeletons!"
His voice trembled slightly; he practically roared the words.
"This... this is simply a Supreme Treasure Ground tailor-made for our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"
If they obtain this Opportunity, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will no longer just be a Sect possessing a top-tier Beast Spirit.
But a supreme existence truly flowing with Ancient Dragon Blood and wielding the power of the Dragon Clan!
"Sect Master! This is a heaven-sent opportunity!"
An Elder whose hair and beard were bristling yelled excitedly, his eyes full of fervor.
"Exactly! If we can gain the Dragon Valley Opportunity, the name of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon will surely resound across the continent!"
Another Elder also couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.
Yu Yuanzhen forcibly suppressed the excitement that was nearly bursting out of his body and took a deep breath.
He surveyed all the core members present, his voice firm as iron:
"Pass on my order!"
"I, the Sect Master, will personally lead the team. All Elders above the Soul Douluo level, as well as the most outstanding Disciples within the Sect, prepare immediately and follow me to the Eastern part of the Star Dou Great Forest to enter the Dragon Valley!"
"This trip concerns the Family's eternal foundation! We must obtain enough Dragon Clan Opportunities for our clan at all costs! Anyone who dares to obstruct us shall be killed without mercy!"
"Yes, Sect Master!"
The Elders and elite Disciples answered in unison, their voices shaking the great hall.
Everyone's face was filled with the desire for power and the determination to succeed.
In an instant.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, this massive war machine, began to operate efficiently.
Powerful auras rose one after another.
Their target was the Star Dou Great Forest!
It wasn't just the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan; across the continent, all those possessing Dragon-type Spirits.
Even Spirit Master powers that only carried a trace of Dragon Clan Bloodline were currently descending into madness.
The Earth Dragon Sect, the Fire Dragon Sect... countless Soul Masters poured out from all directions like sharks smelling blood.
Desperately converging toward the Eastern edge of the Star Dou Great Forest... Inside Big Dipper Academy.
Lu Xiao stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the detailed information about the Dragon Valley on the heavenly curtain.
When he saw that it ranked second, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"The Dragon Valley is only ranked second?"
He muttered softly, raising an eyebrow slightly.
"The waters of this Douluo Continent are deeper than I imagined. Even the tomb opened by the Dragon God, the Dragon Valley containing the secrets of the Dragon God's Legacy, couldn't take the top spot."
"Then what kind of Heaven-Defying existence is this Opportunity at the top of the list?"
Intense curiosity welled up in his heart.
He had originally thought the Dragon Valley was the top creation of this world, but he hadn't expected there to be an Opportunity that surpassed it.
This filled him with unprecedented anticipation for the yet-to-be-announced first place.
His gaze shifted, landing on Ao Yin, who was standing nearby.
Ao Yin, having benefited from the Academy's resources and his own hard work, already possessed considerable strength.
Dragon Qi faintly coiled around his body.
"Ao Yin."
Lu Xiao spoke.
"Dean."
Ao Yin bowed respectfully.
"This Dragon Valley is a Supreme Treasure Ground for Dragon-type Martial Soul possessors, and the Opportunities within will greatly benefit you."
Lu Xiao said slowly.
"You should go there and strive to obtain the fortune that belongs to you."
"Yes, Dean! Ao Yin will certainly live up to the Dean's expectations!"
Excitement flashed in Ao Yin's eyes.
He could also feel the Dragon Valley's strong summons to the Dragon Soul within him.
Lu Xiao nodded, then looked at Zhuang Zhou on the other side, who always seemed sleepy.
"Zhuang Zhou, you go too."
Zhuang Zhou rubbed his eyes.
The wings of the North Sea Kun beneath him gently fluttered: "Dean, do you need me to go fight?"
His tone carried a hint of disbelief.
Lu Xiao chuckled: "No. Your abilities are special; you excel at Void Realm Evasion Technique, and your life-saving capability is world-class. Going to the Dragon Valley, where Soul Beasts and human powers are mixed, conflict is inevitable."
"You are going with Ao Yin, not to fight to the death, but if you encounter an irresistible danger—for example, running into the Silver Dragon King—you must immediately take Ao Yin and flee. Returning safely is paramount."
He paused, his tone carrying a subtle meaning: "After all, my goal, the Dean's goal, is that first place which is about to be announced."
"An Opportunity that can suppress the Dragon Valley absolutely cannot be missed. The Academy needs to preserve its core strength to deal with any variables that might arise."
Hearing this, Zhuang Zhou understood Lu Xiao's considerations and nodded.
"I see. Protecting someone and running away, that's what I'm good at."
"Don't worry, Dean, I will definitely bring little Ao Yin back safe and sound."
Although he was lazy, he never equivocated on things he promised.
"That is good."
Lu Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
Just as Zhuang Zhou and Ao Yin were preparing to leave.
Lu Xiao seemingly casually raised his hand.
"Whoosh!"
An almost imperceptible streak of azure light silently merged into the North Sea Kun beneath Zhuang Zhou.
"Just in case, take this bit of protection."
Lu Xiao's voice sounded directly in Zhuang Zhou's mind.
That azure streak contained a trace of the Storm Dragon King's Origin Qi.
Although it was not enough to summon its true body, at a crucial moment, it was enough to unleash astonishing power.
To buy them time to escape.
Zhuang Zhou was slightly startled.
He immediately felt the terrifying power contained within that wisp of Qi, and his heart settled.
He nodded imperceptibly in Lu Xiao's direction.
After the arrangements were complete, Zhuang Zhou and the highly Battle Intent-filled Ao Yin turned into streaks of light and headed toward the Eastern direction of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Lu Xiao watched their receding figures and lay back down in his rocking chair.
His gaze returned to the golden light screen in the sky.
His eyes were deep and calm.
"The Dragon Valley is good, but it is not a place I must fight for."
"However, this mysterious first Opportunity... is worth giving my all."
He murmured softly, the aura around him contained.
He only waited for that final Opportunity to appear before unleashing earth-shattering power.
The continent's attention was currently focused on the struggle for the Dragon Valley.
But some top powerhouses, such as Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu, were also waiting in the shadows.
Waiting for the final mystery to be unveiled.
They all knew that the significance of an Opportunity that could surpass the Dragon Valley would likely determine the ultimate direction of the entire Douluo Continent!
