The clan chief, atop the high platform, slammed his scepter heavily onto the ground, producing a deep and majestic sound.
All the noise and whispers in the hall vanished instantly.
All eyes turned to the high platform.
The clan chief slowly stood up, his aged yet resonant voice echoing in every corner of the hall.
"Today is the most important day for our dragon clan."
His gaze swept over each of his people below, finally settling on the floating supernatural lock.
"That is the day when our dragon race will choose the strongest to become the next leader!"
"Whoever wins the final victory will possess this superpower lock."
"Shoulder the supreme and sacred mission of protecting our dragon race!"
The shouts of the Azure Dragon Clan and the White Dragon Clan crashed violently within the ancient stone hall like two surging waves.
"Azure Dragon Clan! Azure Dragon Clan!"
"The White Dragon Clan! The White Dragon Clan!"
On the high platform, the Dragon Clan Chief slammed his scepter down heavily, his majestic voice silencing all the clamor.
His gaze swept across the entire room, finally settling on the vacant representative position for the White Dragon Clan.
"Currently, the representative of the White Dragon Clan has yet to arrive."
"If the White Dragon Clan does not select another representative, it will be considered as abstention."
As soon as he finished speaking, a white dragon clansman standing in the front row dug his fingernails deep into his palm.
Long Fei, why aren't you here yet?
In the opposing Azure Dragon Clan's ranks, a clansman, seeing his nervous appearance, grinned and let out a contemptuous sneer.
He spoke in a lazy, mocking tone, in a voice only those around him could hear.
"If you're not happy about it, then go ahead and try!"
"Anyway, no one else in your White Dragon Clan dares to go up."
The already tense nerves of the white dragon clansman were instantly ignited by those words.
He suddenly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot.
"Let's go! Who's afraid!"
He roared and strode out of the line.
The sword dragon, who had been resting with its eyes closed, noticed the commotion, slowly opened its eyes, and also walked into the arena.
The shouts rang out again.
"Azure Dragon Clan! Azure Dragon Clan!"
"The White Dragon Clan! The White Dragon Clan!"
The sword dragon and the white dragon clansman faced each other from a distance.
The clan chief's aged voice echoed in the main hall.
"The battle begins!"
The white dragon clansman launched the first attack, his figure as swift as lightning, instantly closing in on the sword dragon.
A series of sharp punches created gusts of wind.
Stegosaurus simply stood still.
With minimal movement, he dodged all the attacks without changing his expression.
Seeing this, the White Dragon Clan members grew increasingly impatient.
He roared and channeled all his strength into a single punch, unleashing it with tremendous force.
Stegosaurus casually extended one hand.
That hand steadily blocked the powerful fist.
Stegosaurus's tone was calm and even.
"You're not ready yet."
Before he finished speaking, he gently pushed his wrist.
A burst of skillful force erupted.
The white dragon clansman was sent flying backwards, crashing heavily at the entrance of the main hall, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"Wait a minute."
A steady voice came from outside the hall.
Long Fei's resolute figure walked slowly into the room against the light.
He first helped up his fallen kinsman and patted him on the shoulder.
Then, he raised his head, his gaze sharp, and stared directly at the sword dragon in the arena.
"you are mine."
The White Dragon Clan's ranks erupted in a thunderous roar.
"The dragon is coming! The dragon is coming!"
"The White Dragon Clan! The White Dragon Clan!"
The aura of the Azure Dragon Clan was clearly suppressed, and everyone's face showed solemnity.
Long Fei looked at Jianlong with a hint of apology on his face.
"Sorry, I am late."
A fierce smile finally appeared on Jianlong's face.
"It's not too late, the timing is just right."
Immediately afterwards, Lin Ci, carrying Long Ying, also walked in from outside.
Long Fei turned to Lin Ci and said.
"Senior, why don't you take Long Ying to the White Dragon Clan to observe the ceremony?"
Lin Ci nodded, holding the exquisitely beautiful little figure in his arms, and walked to the back of the White Dragon Clan's group.
The clan chief on the high platform had already recognized Lin Ci's extraordinary abilities.
He asked Long Fei.
"Long Fei, who is this?"
Long Fei immediately bowed, his tone filled with utmost respect.
“Clan leader, this is a senior from the first parallel universe, and he is the elder of Senior Xuan Yizi.”
The patriarch's pupils suddenly contracted.
Xuan Yizi's elders?
That's what kind of concept it is.
His aged hand rubbed against the ancient scepter.
This is a truly important person.
Although I've never heard of them before, the fact that they could attract such a person to attend the ceremony is enough to prove the prestige of their dragon clan.
The clan chief nodded solemnly in Lin Ci's direction.
He is already quite old.
Xuan Yizi's elders were at least his peers.
"Since we have distinguished guests who have come from afar, Jianlong, Longfei."
The clan chief's voice became louder.
"You must unleash your full power, not only for the title of the strongest among our dragons."
"And also to demonstrate the strength of our dragon clan, so that others won't laugh at us."
Jianlong and Longfei nodded in agreement.
The two walked to the center of the field.
Both sides simultaneously assumed fighting stances, and the atmosphere in the air instantly became tense.
In Lin Ci's arms, Long Ying's big, dark eyes were fixed on the floating supernatural lock on the clan leader's scepter.
She leaned close to Lin Ci's ear and whispered in a soft, sweet voice.
"Brother Lin Ci, that one looks so good, I want that one."
A gentle smile appeared on Lin Ci's lips.
"Don't worry, you will have it."
He glanced at the solitary figure shrouded in a black cloak behind the Azure Dragon Clan's ranks and chuckled inwardly.
He will give it to you.
Long Jian naturally recognized Lin Ci as well.
He saw Lin Ci holding a beautiful little girl, and his mind was full of questions.
Why is this guy in the Dragon Clan too?
However, he had made a prior agreement with Hades.
All the questions could only be suppressed deep in my heart.
On the high platform, the clan leader once again slammed his scepter heavily onto the ground.
The dull sound was like the beating of a giant drum of war.
"Battle! Begin!"
