Chapter 2173: True Dragon

"Challenging so many at once, it seems your strength is not bad!"

Walking while looking at the injured people lying on the ground, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but say.

Even Qi Yue, ranked sixth, had been defeated. Could it be that the person before him was aiming for a higher rank?

But it didn't matter; rank wasn't much of his concern. As long as he was qualified to use the Great Teleportation Formation, that was enough.

"Another one who doesn't fear death!" Seeing that this man showed no fear and even looked eager to try, Ao Hua sneered coldly, lifting his head. "What, do you want to fight me?"

"Yes. What rank are you on the Divine King Potential List? If you're below thirty, I won't bother; it's a waste of time." Zhang Xuan said.

Although he saw Qi Yue, ranked sixth, lying on the ground, he wasn't sure if the other party had done it. Since he hadn't seen the Divine King in charge of the assessment, whether the ranks counted was still debatable. It was best to first confirm the opponent's rank, then defeat him and take his place.

Unexpectedly, this young man, not much older than himself, was even more arrogant. Ao Hua's face twitched, and his eyes turned cold. "Ninth..."

"No wonder..." Zhang Xuan suddenly understood.

No wonder he could defeat so many people. This ninth-ranked guy must have encountered some opportunity, increased his strength, and even the sixth-ranked Qi Yue was no match for him.

Seeing that the man before him seemed completely unfazed by his ninth-rank identity, Ao Hua was displeased and was about to introduce himself: "I am..."

"No need to say what rank you are now, or whether your challenge is valid. As long as you're above the top thirty, it's all the same to me..."

Smiling faintly, Zhang Xuan raised his brows, releasing an invincible aura. He beckoned with his right hand and said, "Make your move!"

"Kid... you're arrogant enough!"

Seeing that this man was even more arrogant in speech, Ao Hua knew that against such a person, fists were the only way. Without further ado, he narrowed his eyes, stamped his foot, and once again displayed his teleportation-like speed.

Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up.

As expected of someone on the Divine King Potential List; his speed was much greater than that of an average peak Upper Grade Divine.

Those he had encountered before, like Ming Laixiang, were far inferior.

Shocked inwardly, he did not dodge but stepped forward as well.

A direct physical collision suited him perfectly. What he feared most now was the opponent using soul attack techniques.

"Don't fight head-on..."

Seeing this suddenly appearing young man about to duel with Ao Hua, Shentu Feng, enduring the pain in his body, shouted out.

This man was a strong expert from the Yun Chi Heaven, best at physical combat. If you didn't dodge and fought him head-on, weren't you just asking for death?

Just as he thought this young man would surely be severely injured like them, he saw Ao Hua's expression change, his pupils suddenly contracting.

Bang!

His seemingly indestructible body was struck hard in an instant, unable to control itself, and he flew backward, crashing heavily into the ground.

"Ah?"

Shentu Feng and the others lying on the ground all widened their eyes.

This guy had just used that very move to defeat them. Unexpectedly, this suddenly appearing fellow turned the tables and defeated him with the same move!

Defeating a monster from the Yun Chi Heaven with physical strength...

How did he do it?

Full of disbelief, they looked up in unison and saw the young man who had sent his opponent flying with a shoulder shrug, shaking his neck, looking at Ao Hua with shining eyes full of excitement: "Your physical cultivation is not bad... Come on, attack me. Don't worry, I'll stand still and won't fight back..."

After his physical body had advanced, he had no suitable weapon to pierce his skin, so he couldn't test the effects of those golden threads inside him. Now that a similarly strong physical cultivator had appeared, how could he let this opportunity slip?

"You..." Ao Hua was furious enough to explode.

Was this attitude and demeanor of being so emboldened a deliberate insult to him?

Yes, it was an insult!

A proud dragon clan expert, defeated by physical strength and humiliated like this...

Unforgivable!

He slapped the ground, stood up abruptly, stamped his foot again, and charged forward like lightning.

Creak! Creak!

While still in the air, layers of scales appeared on the surface of his body.

The Yun Chi clan's powerful defensive measure, second only to their true form. In this state, dragon scales would emerge, impervious to blades and spears.

His defense more than doubled.

Bang!

He collided with the opponent again. His whole body felt like it was falling apart, as if bones were breaking, and Ao Hua flew backward once more.

"Oh? Even stronger now. Not bad, you can do it! Come on, if you can make me bleed, I'll give you money, or even take you as my disciple!" Zhang Xuan's eyes sparkled.

To have cultivated his physical body to a level that impressed him—this guy was really good... And he was so young. The Divine Realm truly hid dragons and crouching tigers, with many experts!

Such a genius was far stronger than that Zhuo Yan he had met before, and was already qualified to become his student.

"Ah... you're asking for death!"

Ao Hua was about to explode.

He had come with pride, easily defeating Shentu Feng, the top-ranked in the You Hun Heaven. He thought that everyone below Divine King here was trash... Never in his dreams did he expect someone like this to appear!

Not only was his physical body so strong, seemingly unassailable, but he was also arrogantly beyond measure...

Injuring him and offering money!

Taking him as a disciple...

Was that even human speech?

Who did he think he was?

"This..."

Shentu Feng and the others felt like they were going crazy too.

They thought Ao Hua was arrogant, but this young man was even more arrogant...

"It's him..."

The severely injured Qi Yue clenched his fists, not daring to breathe or speak.

This Zhang Xuan—others might not know, but he had personally seen the Ancestor kneel before him and address him as Emperor!

How could such a person be defeated by a ninth-ranked from the Yun Chi Heaven?

"Die!"

Ao Hua charged again, this time holding nothing back. His palms turned into claws and slashed downward.

"Are you... a transformed divine beast?"

Zhang Xuan frowned.

He had thought it was just an ordinary duel, so he hadn't used the Eye of Insight or the Library of Heaven's Path. Now seeing the opponent's palms transform like this, he realized that this guy was most likely a transformed divine beast.

"It's too late to beg for mercy now..."

Gritting his teeth, Ao Hua roared, his claws slashing fiercely onto Zhang Xuan's shoulder. The latter remained motionless.

Crack!

With a crisp sound of bone, Zhang Xuan looked down and saw that the clothes on his shoulder had been torn open, revealing a deep white mark on his bare skin, almost drawing blood.

"Excellent..." Full of excitement, Zhang Xuan was about to speak when he saw the white mark disappear in the blink of an eye, as if it had never existed.

It seemed his recovery ability was too strong, and the mark left was too weak. So before he could test the effect, it had already healed.

Full of regret, he quickly looked up: "Your claws are very good... Continue! I'll stand right here. If I dodge, I lose..."

"Ahhh... I'll kill you..."

Ao Hua clutched his head.

Swish, swish, swish, swish!

His two claws kept slashing down like a windmill, each strike using all his strength. Zhang Xuan's upper clothes were soon torn to shreds, and white marks appeared one after another on his body.

But still, no blood flowed, and the marks healed almost as soon as they appeared, like being tickled.

Crack! Crack!

After a while, Ao Hua stopped his claws, looked down at them, and tears streamed down directly.

After continuous attacks, his own claws were torn apart, scales flying, dripping with blood.

He looked up at the young man before him, who was even more excited: "Continue, faster, harder! I'm about to bleed..."

"..." Ao Hua's body swayed.

Damn it, I'm trying to kill you, can you not say it so ambiguously, so suggestively?

Dragons have dignity too!

"You've thoroughly angered me..."

He roared again, his clothes exploding, his body transforming. In an instant, a dragon hundreds of meters long appeared before them, coiling and soaring in the hall.

"Are you... a true dragon?"

Zhang Xuan stood frozen.

He had thought the opponent was just an ordinary divine beast, only slightly stronger than normal humans. He never dreamed that it was actually a dragon!

The dragon race—he had heard of it since the Master Teacher Continent, but it had always been of mixed blood. Even in the Upper Firmament, they were only pseudo-dragons. This one could transform and was so powerful—needless to say, it had reached the true dragon level!

"Not bad. You've angered a true dragon. Just wait for the dragon race's punishment!"

Having transformed into his true form, Ao Hua didn't let the other speak. He suddenly breathed out a dragon's breath.

In an instant, flames blazed, and the space in the room seemed to explode.

"It's over..."

Shentu Feng, Qi Yue, and the others turned pale simultaneously.

Dragon's breath was the dragon race's most powerful attack, stronger than claws. A peak Upper Grade divine dragon, having transformed into its true form, breathing out—even a Divine King expert would have to avoid its edge.

Too careless...

He should have stopped when he was ahead, just defeated him. Now that he had forced the opponent to reveal his true form, how could he fight?

Even the strongest physical body couldn't withstand that!

"Young Master Zhang..." Qi Ling'er was also trembling.

She had just entered and hadn't even figured out what was happening when this young master started fighting. She had watched, seeing him always on the upper hand, so she didn't want to interfere. Now seeing the white-clad youth transform into a divine dragon, she realized they had stirred up big trouble.

A peak Upper Grade divine dragon ranked on the Divine King Potential List—truly invincible at the same level, no one could contend with it!

While everyone was stunned speechless, looking at the hovering dragon, Zhang Xuan was not nervous. Instead, he stroked his chin, and a thought suddenly popped into his mind.

"The Eight Dragon Notes are effective against pseudo-dragons and below, and all life with dragon blood... I wonder if they work on true dragons..."

"Let's try! It won't waste time anyway..."

With that thought, Zhang Xuan lifted his head.

"Moo, Hum..."

Boom!

In the room, the great dragon that was breathing out, about to kill the young man, was suddenly struck by something. Its face turned pale, and it fell to the ground, its enormous body convulsing like an electric eel.

"What happened?"

Shentu Feng, Qi Yue, and the others were dumbfounded, dead silent, tearing out tufts of hair, but none of them knew...
