Dragon Tamer - Chapter 1320: 1324: Gaining Fame Because of a Dog

Chapter 1320: Chapter 1324: Gaining Fame Because of a Dog

“Junior Brother, so your dragon is a Death Spirit Dragon. It really gave us quite the scare,” Qiao Caiqing approached and said.

“I wouldn’t have come if I wasn’t confident enough,” Zhu Minglang stated.

“Your victory seemed a bit suspicious, and the path ahead won’t be easy either,” Song Hao said with some concern.

In terms of strength, Zhao Xuan was indeed very strong, and even if Zhu Minglang’s Chongwang Dragon could be resurrected, it would probably still have a hard time dealing with the next three ancient martial Divine Dragons.

Therefore, this victory was actually quite precarious.

“No worries, not all of the disciples that follow will be as tough as this guy,” Zhu Minglang announced.

…

Zhu Minglang indeed guessed right.

In the next several rounds, Zhu Minglang’s opponents were not especially strong.

Many Inner Sect Disciples also knew that they were not qualified to compete for the position of Direct Disciple, but they still wanted to showcase themselves and gain some recognition from the seniors and Immortal Elders…

Yet, among these people, there were indeed many whose cultivation bases were not very high.

The threshold for Inner Sect Disciples is generally at the Godson Level, and spanning from Godson Level to God King Level, the strength of Inner Sect Disciples can indeed be said to be quite inconsistent.

Zhu Minglang’s lucky streak began to show in the following several rounds.

Four consecutive rounds, all were victories by overwhelming cultivation bases.

Logically, by the fourth or fifth round, the overall strength of the opponents should increase, and there should be at least some Upper-Level or Peak God Monarchs, but the ones Zhu Minglang encountered were all below Divine Monarch Level.

This sort of luck was no different from automatically advancing to the next round.

“No way, no way, is that kid really going to enter the ranks of the Hundred Heroes?” Zhao Xuan’s fair-weather friends remarked.

Since being humiliatingly eliminated some days ago, Zhao Xuan had been completely disheartened. In the subsequent year’s competition, he continually encountered strong competitors, and after losing three times, Zhao Xuan completely lost the qualifications to compete for the Hundred Heroes.

This made Zhao Xuan immensely frustrated!

And comparisons only add to the hurt. After his own elimination, Zhao Xuan wanted to take schadenfreude in Zhu Minglang’s loss, since Zhu Minglang had won against him through despicable means. As a result, all of Zhu Minglang’s opponents along the way were weaklings who couldn’t even handle one of his ancient martial Divine Dragons!

Five consecutive victories!

One more win and he would directly enter the ranks of the Hundred Heroes!

Zhao Xuan couldn’t accept it.

To vent his anger, Zhao Xuan specifically checked the time of Zhu Minglang’s next match.

Today, Zhu Minglang would have his sixth round of competition.

He refused to believe that in the sixth round, this guy could still be so lucky to encounter disciples with lower cultivation.

Sitting in the spectator stands, there weren’t many people concerned about this competition; it was far less of a spectacle compared to his own previous matches.

On the quiet competition island, Zhu Minglang had already arrived early and was standing in the center.

The certifying elder also slowly took the stage, took out the roster, and glanced at the sky.

After a stick of incense had burned, the certifying elder glanced at Zhu Minglang’s opponent’s seat.

As time was about to expire, a young woman wearing a goose down robe hurried over, panting heavily.

“Elder, my young master was injured in the previous match. He wants to rest for a round until his Dragon Beast is in good condition to fight again, so he specifically asked me to come and say that he surrenders this round,” the maid said.

“Understood, tell your Young Master Di to recover well,” the certifying elder nodded.

This approach is actually quite wise. It’s not necessary to have a prominent record to be the final winner; one only needs to enter the ranks of the Hundred Heroes in the end. Even losing one or two matches is not a big deal, it is wise to adjust well and then fight.

The annual competition does not eliminate competitors based on a single failure, but rather creates a general ranking based on combat achievements and wins or losses.

Thus, the duration of the annual competition tends to be longer.

“No way!!!”

Suddenly, a wail emerged from the crowd!

The person wailing was naturally Zhao Xuan.

This meant that the youngster avoided all inner sect powerhouses after his initial encounter and even had his opponent forfeit in the final crucial battle among the Hundred Hero Disciples. What kind of outrageous luck is this??

Unacceptable!!

Zhao Xuan felt as though the pent-up blood in his throat was about to gush out!

That meant, if he hadn’t been foolish at the beginning, this series of lucky victories would have been his!

The Hundred Heroes, and this guy just made it onto the list…

If any Immortal Elder has not yet filled their quota of direct disciples, they might even take him to make up numbers!

This made Zhao Xuan begin to question his own life. Why can’t his thirty years of arduous cultivation match someone else’s destined good fortune?

On the field, seeing that there was no one opposite, Zhu Minglang scratched his head.

Is this the special treatment a person of good cultivation deserves?

Although it seemed somewhat unnecessary, it did save Zhu Minglang a great deal of time.

In this way, the power of the Chongwang Dragon was preserved.

…

The story of Zhu Minglang’s streak of luck soon spread among the inner sect disciples.

Zhu Minglang didn’t expect that he had gained a bit of fame in the Southern Heavenly Palace because of good fortune akin to that of a pampered pet?

He became a Hundred Hero Disciple of the inner sect without any effort.

…

The battle among the Hundred Hero Disciples is the main event of the Southern Heavenly Palace’s annual competition.

The struggle among the Hundred Hero Disciples is not held on the usual contest islands, but on the Xuanwu Platform in the most prosperous part of Bi Luo Island!

Being grand and solemn, it’s clear that the Southern Heavenly Palace truly values its younger generation of disciples, hoping that fresh blood continues to flow within the Southern Heavenly Palace.

Zhu Minglang’s battle for a spot among the Hundred Heroes was scheduled for the night. During the day, some of the disciples who enjoy fame throughout Bi Luo Island and the Southern Heavenly Palace made their appearances.

Among these disciples, some were even True Gods from The City of Ten Thousand Miles, holding special statuses among the common folk and in the divine realms.

Zhu Minglang watched several matches and couldn’t help but feel deeply about the talent within the Southern Heavenly Palace.

Just the Hundred Hero Disciples of the Southern Heavenly Palace alone would likely have turned the entire North Dipper God State upside down back in the day.

Just the Jun Tian’s Immortal Sect alone boasts so many Divine Monarchs and Divine Kings, all at the disciple level, let alone how many age-old figures might exist in the Cloud Sky Heaven Court above. Their powers must be even more fearsome.

Eventually, night fell.

The lamps of houses were already lit, with many red roses and goose yellow lanterns hanging under the beautiful eaves, against the backdrop of pear, camphor, and cypress wooden pavilions rising from the ground. The Dragon Clan’s myriad of totems were carved into those tall pillars, and one could also see many ancient pagodas and divine steles polished from rare minerals. They form unique patterns arranged throughout the entire immense City of Ten Thousand Miles. The golden and glittering palaces, divine temples, Sky Towers, and Cloud Pavilions rise up like mountains outside of mountains, leading to the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm in the sky.

Bi Luo Island is so prosperous.

And it is merely one divine city within The City of Ten Thousand Miles.
