Chapter 72 The Dragon Realm?
Nan Qiuqiu followed behind Huo Yuhao and the others, walking towards the Tianlong Gate without looking back.
During this time, she kept asking Huo Yuhao about the Azure Dragon Guard.
When she heard that Huo Yuhao was actually three years younger than her, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"One millennium ring, two ten-thousand-year rings, Captain, you're amazing!"
Nan Qiuqiu sidled up to Huo Yuhao: "Captain, how did you do that? Can you teach me?"
"The Annihilation Power of the Rouge Dragon Martial Soul is very strong," Huo Yuhao said, "but you rely too much on the characteristics of the Martial Soul itself and have not paid attention to the cultivation of your physical qualities."
"Even if the Crimson Dragon isn't known for its physical strength, you shouldn't be this weak right now."
Nan Qiuqiu pouted: "I'm not exactly weak, am I? Xiao Ye and Xu Shenshu are often beaten senseless by me."
"That's because they were letting you have your way."
Su Tong looked at Nan Qiuqiu: "Perhaps the Annihilation Power of the Rouge Dragon is extremely effective against their abilities."
"But once you're surrounded by them, you'll only lose."
Nan Qiuqiu puffed out her cheeks but didn't say anything to refute Su Tong.
Deep down, she was still somewhat unconvinced by her earlier duel with Su Tong.
However, although Nan Qiuqiu is domineering, she is not entirely unreasonable.
She knew in her heart that Su Tong's combat experience and ability to adapt to changing situations far surpassed her own.
"But it's good news," Nan Qiuqiu thought to herself, "I can't even beat Captain Su, let alone Yu Tianlong."
"As long as I train diligently in the future, I will definitely have a day when I can draw with, or even defeat, Team Su!"
As Nan Qiuqiu watched Su Tong's retreating figure, a fierce fighting spirit ignited within her.
But she soon became doubtful again.
"That shouldn't be the case," she muttered to herself. "Captain Su has the Ice and Snow Maiden Martial Soul, he shouldn't only be a Soul Master now."
Just as Nan Qiuqiu was filled with doubt, the group had already arrived at the Tianlongmen's headquarters.
"Sect Master, Viscount Qinglong." The guards at the gate hurriedly bowed to Yu Longtu and Huo Yuhao.
However, when they saw Nan Qiuqiu behind Huo Yuhao, their expressions clearly froze.
How did this little demon dragon from the Earth Dragon Gate end up at the Heaven Dragon Gate?
"What, you're not welcoming me?"
Nan Qiuqiu put her hands on her hips and glared at the guards: "To tell you the truth, I am now a member of the Azure Dragon Guard."
"I joined before your young sect leader. From now on, he'll have to call me 'senior' whenever he sees me."
The guards looked at each other, unsure of what to say next.
Nan Qiuqiu wouldn't really make things difficult for these guards.
She pulled a handful of gold soul coins from her pocket and stuffed them directly into the hand of the leading guard: "From now on, be good with your mouth when you see me."
"Here, take it. Go out for drinks with your buddies sometime."
The guard gave Nan Qiuqiu a meaningful look.
Young Master Nan, is it appropriate for you to act like this in front of my sect leader?
Yu Longtu said helplessly, "Take her in. From now on, this girl will be a regular visitor to our Tianlong Sect."
The guard then accepted the gold soul coins with a smile and said, "Thank you, Miss Nan."
Nan Qiuqiu proudly raised her chin and followed Huo Yuhao and his group into the Tianlong Gate.
As soon as she entered the Tianlong Gate, she looked around curiously.
Although the Earth Dragon Gate and the Heavenly Dragon Gate are considered the two major powers in Dragon City, they have always adhered to the principle of keeping to themselves.
This was the first time Nan Qiuqiu had ever stepped through the gates of the Tianlong Sect since she was born.
"Viscount Qinglong, why don't you rest for a few days inside the Heavenly Dragon Gate?"
Yu Longtu said, "At the speed of the messenger and Yu Tianlong, it will take at least three days to return."
"Then I'll have to trouble Lord Yu," Huo Yuhao said.
He then parted ways with the others, found Du Busi and recounted what had happened inside the Earth Dragon Gate before returning to his room.
From the moment he stepped into the vicinity of Dragon City, Electrolux in the Niwan Palace transmitted a message to him, saying that he had made a special discovery.
"Elder Yi, have you discovered something?" Huo Yuhao's consciousness sank into the Niwan Palace.
Electrolux opened his eyes.
"The spatial fluctuations here seem somewhat unusual."
Electrocs created a demiplane of the undead, inhabited by a vast number of undead creatures, from skeletons to liches.
The strongest of them all, the Undead Ice Dragon, is roughly equivalent to a Title Douluo.
It is precisely because of his experience of creating a demiplane and traveling to the Douluo Continent that Electrolux is extremely sensitive to spatial fluctuations.
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's expression turned serious: "Elder Yi, are you saying that there might be a spatial rift near Dragon City?"
"Or perhaps, it possesses something similar to the undead demiplane?"
Electrolux's voice held a hint of contemplation: "Even I can't be sure about that."
"I can only vaguely sense that the spatial fluctuations here are oscillating in a very regular way, as if something is responding to the space of Douluo Continent."
"It could be the remnant of a large barrier, or it could be an entrance to another dimension."
"But no matter what, what's hidden behind this spatial fluctuation is definitely no less powerful than my undead demiplane."
Huo Yuhao frowned: "Can you pinpoint the exact location of this spatial fluctuation?"
Electrolux shook his head: "There's no way to determine this precisely at the moment."
Huo Yuhao flipped through the Martial Scripture and found that the miscellaneous chapters did not record the Dragon City Plane.
It's possible that this kind of thing, which doesn't yet belong to the Douluo Continent, wasn't recorded there.
Interestingly, Dragon City is a key focus of the miscellaneous chapters.
Huo Yuhao thought for a moment, then asked Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Ice Emperor if there were any legends about Dragon City in history.
Tianmeng Bingcan said awkwardly, "Brother Hao, I really don't know."
Hyotei frowned for a long time: "Before Dragon City was established, this place was always a settlement of small human towns."
"But if I had to pinpoint anything special about it, there does seem to be something."
Ice Emperor tried hard to recall: "Ten thousand years ago, during the time of your human Heavenly Dou Empire, those small towns were where the most Dragon Soul Masters were."
"It seems that not only during the Heaven Dou Empire era, but also many years before that, there have always been a large number of Dragon Soul Masters here."
"The only time the lineage was severed was before the Snow Emperor became the supreme ruler of the far north."
"Back then, it seems that the town's soul masters provoked the Giant Dragon Elephant King, which led it to lead its tribe to raze this place to the ground."
The reason why the Ice Emperor remembered this incident was that not long after the Giant Dragon Elephant Clan returned from here, they went mad because they tried to forcibly purify the dragon bloodline.
The giant dragon-elephant tribe going mad and wiping out towns are not causally related.
However, as Hyotei continued to recall the history of the Ryujo region, she gradually discovered that something was amiss.
"Many years later, when another group of humans moved here and established a town, the bloodline of those dragon soul masters was revived."
"Even though the bloodline has changed, a large number of Dragon Martial Souls will still be born in Dragon City."
The two people and two beasts stared at each other.
"Speaking of dragon bloodlines, something comes to mind."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm suddenly said, "When I was in the Star Dou Great Forest, I heard Di Tian mention the Dragon Clan."
"It seems like many years ago, long ago, when Di Tian was still a young dragon, the Dragon Clan once established a glorious civilization on the Douluo Continent, but later, for some reason, it declined."
"In the end, it seems that only Di Tian and Zi Ji, the Hell Demon Dragon King whose true form is unknown to humans, remain of the Dragon Clan."
Huo Yuhao frowned and asked, "Doesn't the sea dragon count?"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm shook her head: "I haven't heard Di Tian mention it."
Dragon City, Dragon Clan, Dragon Martial Soul, the crazed Giant Elephant Clan, spatial fluctuations...
"It seems that Dragon City is hiding a huge secret."
Huo Yuhao looked at the Tianlong Gate's architecture: "If what Tianmeng said is true, the Dragon Clan once established a glorious civilization, then the spatial fluctuations here are probably related to the Dragon Clan's ruins."
"Otherwise, it's hard to explain why Dragon Soul Masters are being born here one after another, and why the Giant Spirit Dragon Elephant Clan suddenly went crazy trying to purify their dragon bloodline after returning from here."
