Chapter 132: The Dragon Lineage
On the Windward Platform of Tianji Palace, Xiaoyao Lang held the Wucan Sword, his feet moving with ghostly steps, the sword shadows like the wind.
Yu Linglong came from the former Qing Palace and saw that he had practiced a new set of sword techniques, so she shook her head.
Yu Linglong: "Yu Lang, what kind of swordsmanship is this? It's chaotic and without any pattern."
Upon hearing this, Xiaoyao Lang immediately stopped wielding his sword and confidently replied, "Naturally, it is the Limitless Sword Technique!"
Yu Linglong said irritably, "I told you to practice the Abdominal Qi Technique, but you don't take it seriously. All you do all day is this fancy stuff, all show and no substance!"
Upon hearing this, Xiaoyao Lang was immediately indignant. He thought to himself, "How could my painstakingly practiced swordsmanship be all show and no substance?!" He immediately retorted, "What do you mean by flashy? My technique is called 'unpredictable swordplay.' If you don't believe me, let's have a match!" Xiaoyao Lang said confidently.
Yu Linglong was both amused and exasperated: "Fine! Since you're so confident, I'll spar with you! If you can withstand even one move from me, I'll consider it a loss."
Without uttering a word, Xiaoyao Lang immediately attacked with his sword. "Watch out!"
When Yu Linglong saw that Xiaoyao Lang was attacking her head-on, she knew it was a feint and his real purpose was to ambush her from behind.
She focused her energy in her left hand, concentrating it on her two fingers, and with lightning speed, locked onto the point where the Xiaoyao Lang sword was pointing.
Xiaoyao Lang swung his sword straight at her, but seeing Yu Linglong block with her fingers, he was secretly pleased. He then moved quickly and slashed his sword across Yu Linglong's arm.
Just then, Yu Linglong's figure suddenly changed, and Xiaoyao Lang slashed the air with his sword. At the same time, he locked the sword tip in his hand with two fingers. Just as Xiaoyao Lang's figure moved behind her, she was about to launch a sneak attack with her sword.
Yu Linglong extended her two fingers, and the sword in Xiaoyao Lang's hand spun rapidly under the force, eventually breaking free from his grasp.
Before Xiaoyao Lang could react, Yu Linglong had already gripped the sword in her left hand, the blade pointing directly at Xiaoyao Lang's neck!
Xiaoyao Langleng was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He never expected that in just one second, Yu Linglong would take the sword from his hand without breaking a sweat and even slit his throat.
Xiaoyao Lang exclaimed, "This...this is too fast!"
Yu Linglong said dismissively, "It's not that I'm bullying you, it's just that you're too bad! Your sword is slow, and you're slow too." As she spoke, she glanced at him, looking at him with a mixture of love and disappointment.
Xiaoyao Lang scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Uh... I'm no match for your skills, I admit defeat!"
Yu Linglong smiled and said, "Your sword techniques are good in terms of style, but they lack power. To unleash their full potential, you need to improve your internal energy to increase your sword speed and body speed."
Xiaoyao Lang clicked his tongue: "So, I guess I still have to slowly practice my internal energy cultivation method! That's really difficult!"
Yu Linglong looked up and wiped his forehead: "Actually, you already have twenty percent of my power hidden in your body, but you don't know how to activate it yet."
Xiaoyao Lang was puzzled and asked, "Internal energy can be hidden within the body? How is that possible?"
Yu Linglong nodded in agreement: "For someone who doesn't know internal energy cultivation techniques, it's really impossible to infuse internal energy into their body. But your body is not comparable to that of an ordinary person, so you can store internal energy within you and not be killed by your body exploding."
Seeing that Yu Linglong spoke so seriously, Xiaoyao Lang then asked, "I remember you once said that I have an extremely yang body. Is that the reason?"
Yu Linglong shook her head and said, "That's not the case."
Xiaoyao Lang was secretly puzzled. Seeing that Yu Linglong's tone had softened, he stepped forward, took her hands, and said, "My dear Linglong! My good master! My good wife! Please tell me quickly, what else is special about my body?" As he spoke, his face was full of pleading and expectation.
"You have no manners! Do you still remember I'm your master?" Yu Linglong rolled her eyes at Xiaoyao Lang, her hands being pulled.
"Uh...of course I remember." Xiaoyao Lang gave a wry smile and released Yu Linglong's hands.
Yu Linglong patiently continued, "Do you still remember that trip to Xiyu Manor that day?"
Xiaoyao Lang hurriedly nodded and replied, "Of course I remember!"
Yu Linglong said, "That day, you froze several robbers, and later at the Maple Forest Inn, with the help of Murong Hanchan, you froze the raging fire. Did you learn this skill from her?"
Upon hearing Yu Linglong's words, Xiaoyao Lang immediately said, "Linglong, it's about this! I originally wanted to tell you, but I wasn't afraid you'd worry about me, so I kept quiet! Since you've brought this up, I'd like to know what exactly happened." Xiaoyao Lang himself looked completely bewildered.
Yu Linglong smiled and said calmly, "It's because you have the help of the Dragon Soul within you that you have the ability to freeze."
"Dragon Soul? What is that?" Xiaoyao Lang pressed.
Yu Linglong: "The Dragon Soul is the spiritual object that created the Dragon Vein Clan at the beginning of time."
"The Dragon Vein Clan!" Upon hearing the term "Dragon Vein," Xiaoyao Lang's eyes widened as he exclaimed.
Yu Linglong nodded and said, "That is, the dragon race, a very ancient race."
Xiaoyao Lang was somewhat skeptical, and said calmly, "I can't believe that dragons really exist in this world! So tell me, do these dragons look like us humans, or are they like those carved totems, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws?!" Xiaoyao Lang gestured as he spoke.
Yu Linglong heard Xiaoyao Lang's words and it seemed he didn't entirely believe her. She then glanced at Xiaoyao Lang, her heart tightening, and she secretly circulated her inner energy.
Xiaoyao Lang was taken aback by Yu Linglong's gaze, his heart pounding with anxiety. He hesitated for a moment, gazing at Yu Linglong leisurely.
In an instant, the air around Yu Linglong surged, and a purple dragon emerged with tremendous force. The enormous dragon body encircled the two of them, and the purple flames of the dragon around her blazed brilliantly as she moved.
As Yu Linglong channeled her true energy, the purple dragon flew like lightning above the two, letting out a deafening roar that echoed for miles, startling all the beasts.
Upon seeing the scene before him, Xiaoyao Lang was stunned and speechless for a moment.
Yu Linglong wanted to make Xiaoyao Lang's dragon form clearer. As she circulated her true energy, the purple dragon swooped down and roared, opening its gaping maw to devour Xiaoyao Lang!
"Ah..." The sudden surge of power knocked Xiaoyao Lang to the ground, leaving him terrified and at a loss.
Seeing Xiaoyao Lang lean back and brace himself on the ground, Yu Linglong was terrified and turned pale. She quickly withdrew her inner energy, and the dragon shadow dissipated.
He immediately rushed forward and helped Xiaoyao Lang up from the ground. He saw that Xiaoyao Lang's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he must have been quite frightened.
She then wiped away his sweat with her sleeve and asked with concern, "Yulang, are you alright? It's all my fault, I've scared you half to death."
Xiaoyao Lang blinked a few times before calming down and said leisurely, "It's alright, I'm fine."
Seeing his expression, Yu Linglong couldn't help but smile, and said, "Let's see if you dare to question my words again. Now, you can see what a dragon looks like!"
Yu Linglong's smile immediately put him at ease, and his earlier fear seemed to vanish with the wind.
He then said, "I see clearly! As expected of a dragon soaring through the heavens, displaying its full power. But I wonder if they can speak?"
Yu Linglong: "Of course. What you just saw was only the form of a dragon, the state formed by the dragon soul being nurtured by my essence. To see the complete form of the mad dragon, you still need the dragon bones from the beginning of time."
As Yu Linglong finished speaking, a dozen disciples arrived at the Wind-Welcoming Platform with swords in hand. Upon seeing Yu Linglong, they bowed and greeted her, "Palace Master!"
Yu Linglong raised her hand in a gesture, then asked, "What brings you here?"
Dongxue respectfully replied, "Reporting to the Palace Master, we were practicing swordsmanship in the martial arts field when we suddenly heard a roar. We were shocked to see a purple dragon appear in the sky above the Qianqing Palace, so we came to investigate."
Yu Linglong replied, "The descent of a purple dragon from the sky is an auspicious sign. Do not be alarmed. If there is nothing to worry about, you may all leave."
"yes."
The group replied in unison and then left one by one.
