Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting-Chapter 1338: The Rookie Challenge of the Future

Watching Li Menglong raise his glass in salute, Lan Xuanyu already understood that this person’s status within the Sky Horse Clan must be very extraordinary.

The banquet began, and such banquets in the Dragon Horse Star System were not much different from those in the Douluo Federation; they were more formalities, mainly to show the importance the Sky Horse and Sky Dragon Clans placed on this conference. As for the true purpose of the conference, that was the result of communication between the upper echelons. As long as the Sky Dragon and Sky Horse Clans reached a consensus, basically, the matters in the Dragon Horse Star System would be settled.

From his conversations with Li Menglong and Deng Xu Tong, Lan Xuanyu had already roughly understood the purposes of the two clans. From the perspective of the development of the Dragon Horse Star System, this was evidently very helpful. However, with so many races and powers within the Dragon Horse Star System, unifying them for research and development was not an easy task. Nevertheless, since he was here, he would try to clarify the situation and then report back to see how the federation would decide.

As for himself, after careful consideration, Lan Xuanyu had already decided not to act recklessly on his own. For him, the pressing matter was to lead his companions in breaking through and growing together, enhancing their strength.

Just as the weakness of the Dragon Horse Star System lies in technology, the true shortcoming of the Douluo Federation lies in individual strength. If they could possess the ability to contend with the top powerhouses of the Dragon Horse Star System in terms of individual strength, then unifying the Dragon Horse Star System would not be a difficult task.

The racial strife between interstellar species has no right or wrong; it’s all for the development and continuation of one’s own race. It’s about who can become stronger. This is no different from the jungle laws during ancient times when soul beasts dominated.

The welcome banquet lasted several hours before ending. All the members of the Dragon Clan were arranged to stay in the Sky Horse Manor. Soon, a Sky Horse clansman delivered the schedule for the upcoming exchange conference.

As Li Menglong said before, the exchange conference mainly consisted of two parts, the most important part being the Dragon Horse Star System Development Seminar. The other part was the Future Youth Exchange Conference.

The timing of these two parts did not conflict; every morning, the Future Youth Exchange Conference would take place, and in the afternoon, the Dragon Horse Star System Development Seminar would proceed. As outstanding representatives of the younger generation, Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu were clearly going to participate in both conferences.

Lan Xuanyu reviewed the itinerary and discovered that he had been scheduled to do a special task—speaking. At the Future Youth Exchange Conference, he was to make a brief speech representing the younger generation of the Dragon Clan. When he saw this agenda, a faint smile involuntarily appeared at the corner of his mouth. Speaking, well that’s good!

All the preparations were completed before the arrival of the Dragon Clan, so on the second day after their arrival, the conference officially began.

The Future Youth Exchange Conference was held in the Sky Horse Plaza, where six massive arenas had sprung up overnight.

Each arena was twenty meters high and had a diameter of five hundred meters. The six huge arenas lined up in a row. In front of each arena, there were numbers indicating their respective order.

In the middle were arenas one and two, and on the sides were arenas three, four, five, and six. Just seeing these six arenas could stir the blood of the young members of all races, filling them with the urge to step up and show off their skills.

On one side of the center of the Sky Horse Plaza, a hundred-meter-high spectator stand had already been built, but it could only accommodate a hundred people to watch the battles at the same time. Undoubtedly, this was the best spot for watching the event, and only the real high-ups of each race could be seated there.

Early in the morning, the area around the Sky Horse Plaza was already packed with people. For the high-ups, what they were more concerned about was the Dragon Horse Star System Development Seminar, but for the ordinary public, naturally, they were more interested in the undoubtedly exciting Future Youth Exchange Competition.

About this time’s masters of the arenas from the Dragon and Sky Horse young generations, everyone was well-aware of them. Countless private discussions were held, and today they could finally see these super-strong representatives of the younger generation with their own eyes, and there was even a chance to challenge them. Some were excited, others were rubbing their hands in anticipation.

Of course, if one wished to step up to challenge, they had to first weigh their own strength, and also see if their pockets were deep enough. Space Source Crystals as the challenge object were not something ordinary people could offer. Keep in mind, even in the Dragon Clan’s own Ascending Dragon competition, the final reward didn’t include Space Source Crystals. This goes to show how precious Space Source Crystals really are.

Lan Xuanyu had contemplated carefully after learning about the Sky-Nurturing Crystal last night, especially because he had seen Long Tianyang at Lake Tianyang before, which gave him a strange feeling.

The production of the Space Source Crystal comes from the Sky Domination Clan, which can be said to be their core resource. As for the Twin Divine Planets, Sky Dragon Planet and Sky Horse Star, which possess such immense life energy and are of such high rank, perhaps the Sky-Nurturing Crystal is their true core product. The planet’s own life energy is already so vast and rich, so to what extent would the Sky-Nurturing Crystals, produced by them, be powerful? This is indeed something very much worth looking forward to.

Therefore, for this Newcomers Exchange Competition, Lan Xuanyu is determined to obtain the Sky-Nurturing Crystal at all costs! He must get as many of these treasures that even Dragon Knights are reluctant to part with.

One by one, the tall and strong creatures with human upper bodies and horse-like lower bodies, standing on four hooves, wearing neat and formal armor, guarded around the Sky Horse Plaza.

The Sky Horse Plaza was extremely vast. The soldiers were guarding an area corresponding to a quarter of the space around the six battle platforms and the main ceremonial stage. Other areas were filled with a large number of citizens from various clans.

Within the area guarded by the soldiers, there were also platforms for viewing the battle that were leveled with the battle platforms. More than two hundred of such viewing platforms were present, and those seated inside were representatives and elites from various clans. Compared to ordinary citizens, these individuals could certainly see everything happening on the battle platforms more clearly.

The challengers for the future New Talent Competition would also mostly emerge from here.

"Woo—, Woo—, Woo—" Three deafening long horn blasts, loud enough to be heard throughout the entire Sky Horse Plaza, suddenly made the noisy plaza quiet down.

Today, there were more than a million species’ citizens who came to watch the ceremony, and at this moment, all eyes were focused on the direction of the high-placed chairman’s platform.

Rays of dazzling light descended from the sky, led by the Sky Horse Sect Leader and the Secondary Dragon Leader representing the highest echelons of the Dragon Horse Galaxy’s various clans.

And what captured everyone’s attention, apart from these top powerhouses, were two absolutely stunning figures.

"They" were located at the edge of the main viewing platform, holding hands and gracefully descending. One dressed in a white dress, the other in a blue dress, their beautiful faces and figures attracted everyone’s gaze.

"Golden Dragon Princess—" From among the remote crowd, a thunderous roar erupted, the sound waves surging.

Lan Xuanyu was startled; he didn’t expect to be so popular on Sky Horse Star. It seemed that the Ascending Dragon Competition had quite an influence over the entire Dragon Horse Star System!

The Sky Horse Sect Leader, with a meaningful look in his eyes, glanced towards Lan Xuanyu and then smiled at Zhong Zhichang beside him: "Brother Zhong, it seems that your Dragon Clan has produced another remarkable talent! It looks like we must add another Dragon Knight."

The Dawn Dragon Knight Zhong Zhichang smiled slightly and said, "Dawn has just appeared; let’s see the trajectory of her future growth. However, we have high hopes for her."

Hearing Zhong Zhichang put it this way, the Sky Horse Sect Leader became even more interested in Lan Xuanyu. He had known Brother Zhong for more than a thousand years and understood this Dawn Dragon Knight well. In comparison to the Sky Dragon Leader, who often acted on personal likes and dislikes, this Dawn Dragon Knight could be said to be the stabilizing needle of the Dragon Clan, focusing on stability. To get her praise for someone was truly no easy feat.
