Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting-Chapter 1335: Hitting on Someone

The interior space of Sky Horse Manor is enormous. They boarded a vehicle akin to a shuttle bus, pulled by winged steeds at the front, speeding through the manor.

The manor is hilly and covered in vegetation, with scattered lakes.

From afar, a massive circular building came into their sight. The size of this building was so immense that it left them in awe.

Lan Xuanyu learned from Xu Yanmo that the creatures pulling the shuttle were not Sky Horses but a vassal race, the Flying Horse Clan. The elites of the Flying Horse Clan have the potential to ascend to the Sky Horse Clan, so they are considered close relatives and primarily serve the Sky Horse Clan.

Upon entering the circular building, they saw a wide lawn where tables were set up without chairs, laden with various foods and beverages.

This seems to be a pre-banquet function, where everyone can rest, wait, have some snacks and drinks. It’s also an opportunity for mutual exchanges.

The ones who could accompany the two Dragon Knights here were all from the higher ranks of the Dragon Clan, capable of taking human form. Likewise, the Sky Horse Clan members welcoming them could also transform into humans.

Therefore, when Lan Xuanyu and his company were led into the pre-banquet reception, they couldn’t help but feel a sense of returning to the Douluo Federation. In fact, they had never attended such a formal banquet even in the Douluo Federation.

"This must be a junction for exchange, to enhance the interaction among the youths of our two clans. The Sky Horse Clan people will definitely come over later, and you’re bound to be the center of attention," Xu Yanmo said with a tone that seemed to take pleasure in another’s misfortune.

Lan Xuanyu glanced at him, and Xu Yanmo walked away with a smile. Xu had no more expectations regarding Lan; in fact, he was deeply scarred by the ferocity of their battle—it was a fight with utter disregard for life! He couldn’t imagine having such a wife in the future. Moreover, Xu Yanmo was quite proud and now understood that Lan’s future accomplishments would surpass his own, which wasn’t something he sought in a partner.

Furthermore, given Lan’s character, he didn’t believe he had any chance of winning "her" favor. Thus, as the reception started, his mood wasn’t directed at Lan Xuanyu but at the Sky Horse Clan. He was curious to see how much disappointment the outstanding young generation of the Sky Horse Clan would encounter when faced with Lan.

Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu stood front of a table, each picking up a drink similar to fruit juice. Bai Xiuxiu glanced at Lan Xuanyu and chuckled, "Quite a few from the Sky Horse Clan are looking our way. Many of them are looking at you. You truly live up to the reputation of the popular Golden Dragon Princess, always drawing attention wherever you go."

Lan Xuanyu looked at her with annoyance and took a sip of the drink in his hand when two young men from the Sky Horse Clan approached them nearby.

Both young men were tall and handsome. Actually, in terms of looks, the average level of the Sky Horse Clan is noticeably higher than that of the Dragon Clan.

Even among the higher ranks of the Dragon Clan, not all evolved from the Sky Horse Clan; many came from different races during the Dragon-Transformation Period. Hence, their human forms evolved without any guarantee of appearance; while some were good-looking, others were quite ordinary or even ugly and fierce.

However, the Sky Horse Clan is different. They were known as the most beautiful race in the Dragon Horse Star System since the era of the Twin Sky Horse Stars, both males and females taking on handsome or pretty human forms. The two approaching were about the same height as Lan Xuanyu—one with light blue long hair and starry eyes and the other with a stronger build and short grey hair, exuding a robust and handsome aura.

The two approached holding drinks and introduced themselves when they reached Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu.

The young man with blue long hair smiled, "Hello, I am Li Menglong from the Sky Horse Clan."

The young man with grey short hair cheerfully said, "You can see how much he admires your Dragon Clan from his name. Hello, I am Deng Xu Tong from the Sky Horse Clan."

"Hello, Lan." Xuanyu said indifferently with a frosty face.

Bai Xiuxiu gave a slight smile and said, "I’m Xiuxiu."

Li Menglong’s eyes lit up as he smiled and said, "Even though I guessed just now, hearing your names still feels like thunder striking my ears! We watched the live broadcast of the Ascending Dragon Competition, and it was indeed spectacular. You are truly impressive."

Xuanyu glanced at him and said, "Just lucky."

Deng Xu Tong said, "The Ascending Dragon Competition is the highest level of combat for the young generation of the Sky Dragon Planet; there’s no such thing as luck. But judging by Miss Lan’s aura, it seems she has not yet broken through to God Rank? Are you suppressing your Cultivation?"

Xuanyu glanced at him but did not answer.

Feeling the atmosphere turning somewhat rigid, Li Menglong hurriedly said, "What kind of a question is that? Cultivation is the most private matter for everyone. Isn’t it, Miss Xiuxiu?"

Bai Xiuxiu said, "Indeed. We’ve come here for an exchange, may I ask what arrangements you have in place?"

Upon hearing her question, both Li Menglong and Deng Xu Tong looked pleased. They needed a topic for conversation to continue engaging. Lan clearly had no intention of interacting with them, but Xiuxiu’s question provided an opportunity. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

In fact, as soon as Xuanyu and Xiuxiu had accompanied these two Dragon Knights here, the young elites of the Sky Horse Clan had already noticed their presence.

The Ascending Dragon Competition is not just an event of importance for Sky Dragon Planet; it’s one of the most significant events for the entire Dragon Horse Star System. It helps all races understand the situation of the Dragon Clan and the strength of the younger generation.

Xuanyu had risen to prominence as a dark horse. She virtually came out of nowhere to finally make a name for herself as the Golden Dragon Princess, indeed surprising many. And she claimed the ultimate championship. This reversal left a very deep impression on the audience.

The Sky Horse Clan was no exception. The reason Xuanyu and Xiuxiu were invited was actually at the behest of the Sky Horse Assembly, hoping to have the newly crowned champions of the Ascending Dragon Competition come over for an exchange.

The Sky Horse Clan has always prided themselves on their noble bloodline. The race only intermarries within their own, and only higher-ranking dragons capable of transforming into human forms could possibly intermarry with the Sky Horse Clan. This is different from the Dragon Clan, which can intermarry with any race. However, whether their offspring would inherit the dragon bloodline or the strength of that bloodline, that’s a difficult question.

Li Menglong said, "For this exchange, we have prepared for a long time and mainly on two levels. One is the exchange of technology among the races. There’s an important topic we’re addressing, which is the integration of resources to promote the development of interstellar technology within the Dragon Horse Star System. The other is the exchange between the strong warriors from various races, to foster friendship. Of course, for our Sky Horse Clan and your Dragon Clan, it’s also about further establishing our leadership among all races in the Dragon Horse Star System. As for the exchanges between the strong warriors, it’s already routine; they are held every time. However, the exchange of technology among the races this time is of paramount importance."

Upon hearing him speak, Xuanyu finally showed an interested expression and asked, "How do you plan to advance the technological development of the Dragon Horse Star System?"

Li Menglong, delighted that she spoke, smiled and said, "Although this is currently a secret, it will soon be brought up at the exchange meeting, so telling you now isn’t an issue."

"Our galaxy is rich in resources, at least among the best known galaxies to date. Otherwise, other galaxies wouldn’t covet our resources. Just like the despicable Human Douluo Federation does. Although we have abundant resources, we are clearly behind in terms of technology. Otherwise, with the strength of our two major races, we would have already completely obliterated the Human Federation long ago. Therefore, in terms of technology, we need to accelerate our research progress. Given the resources our galaxy possesses, this shouldn’t be difficult."
