Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

Chapter 1472: Chapter 1472 Original Essence Blood

When the Dragon Knights saw Zhang Chujia beckoning to Lan Xuanyu, they were all taken aback, and upon hearing that she claimed her as her goddaughter, they were utterly astonished.

What status does Zhang Chujia hold? She is the oldest, highest-ranking, and most senior Dragon Clan member still alive today! Among the Dragon Knights present, most are of a lower generation, but a few young Dragon Knights are two generations below her.

Her acknowledging a goddaughter is surely a significant event for the Dragon Clan. It shows how much she values Lan Xuanyu.

Zhong Zhichang almost instinctively looked at Hou Dingzhong, who exchanged a meaningful glance with him.

Lan Xuanyu was also taken aback. Goddaughter? Since when did she acknowledge him as her goddaughter?

Yet, the Sky Dragon Leader spoke up, smiling, “Mother, the goddaughter you acknowledged is my godsister, how could I possibly bully her?”

Lan Xuanyu’s pupils suddenly contracted, and he immediately understood. This is… she’s actually the Sky Dragon Leader’s mother? He didn’t just secure a strong backer but a monumental one! However, could this bring new issues? If they’re related, would the Sky Dragon Leader covet his bloodline, even though it couldn’t successfully merge, what if he attempted it? Would he kill him? No, he had to find a way to save himself.

In an instant, numerous thoughts raced through Lan Xuanyu’s mind. He didn’t know what Zhang Chujia and the Sky Dragon Leader Jiang Weiqiang were thinking, but he absolutely wouldn’t gamble. This matter concerned his life and whether he’d become the Dragon God in the future. He couldn’t be careless. He didn’t believe Zhang Chujia would truly help him as she appeared to. On the other side was her son. Would she think that if her son absorbed his bloodline and evolved, it would be more advantageous and help him evolve to God King Level?

Though Zhang Chujia mentioned acknowledging him as her goddaughter, it did nothing to ease his worries.

“Lan, quickly pay your respects to your godmother,” the Sky Dragon Leader said, gazing meaningfully at Lan Xuanyu.

Lan Xuanyu instantly snapped out of his thoughts. In front of all the Dragon Knights, with Zhang Chujia’s status, this declaration was decisive. He had no room to resist.

Immediately, he knelt on the ground and bowed to Zhang Chujia, “Godmother.”

“Good girl,” Zhang Chujia lightly waved her hand, a faint red halo effortlessly raised Lan Xuanyu up, and an overpowering Dragon Power Fluctuation vanished as quickly as it appeared, “Come sit by your godmother. Weiqiang, move to the side.”

“Yes.” Jiang Weiqiang immediately stood up, and the other Dragon Knights naturally dared not defy, moving to the side to make space. Zhang Chujia took Lan Xuanyu’s hand, letting “her” sit beside her, smiling warmly as she patted his hand.

Zhang Chujia had restored her youthful appearance, with long, soft hands. She and Lan Xuanyu were both considered beauties of the Dragon Clan, sitting together, each complementing the other.

The Sky Dragon Leader felt an odd sensation as he looked on. Previously, he hadn’t considered Lan Xuanyu in any other way. After all, he was the lofty Sky Dragon Leader, and Lan was merely a newly-joined Wild Dragon Clan girl; no matter how beautiful, the status didn’t match. But after his mother’s guidance, his perspective shifted, and he saw Lan Xuanyu differently.

Lan Xuanyu was now nervous, sitting in the Sky Dragon Leader’s previous seat, at the heart of the Dragon Horse Auction Arena’s prime location.

At this moment, he could even sense Zhong Zhichang’s somewhat obscure mental state. Surely he was shocked too.

Previously, Zhong Zhichang’s faction was the most supportive of Lan Xuanyu, and he hadn’t anticipated the current state.

Zhang Chujia’s acknowledgment of Lan Xuanyu as her goddaughter seemed to disrupt all his prior plans.

What’s going on? Zhong Zhichang couldn’t help but look at his teacher. Hou Dingzhong remained expressionless but signaled him to stay calm.

The old dragon sighed inwardly as well. Compared to the Divine Fire Dragon Knight, all the Dragon Knights present were still too inexperienced! With a seemingly ordinary action, she brought everything back on track, stabilizing Jiang Weiqiang’s slightly shaky situation. Just ten days ago, she was on the brink of death, potentially falling at any moment. What could be said about the former ruler of the Dragon Clan. In comparison, her son was still far behind.

The Sky Dragon Leader said, “Let the auction begin.”

“Yes.” The staff responded and immediately informed them.

A faint smile emerged on Zhang Chujia’s face, turning to Lan Xuanyu beside her, “Daughter! Feel free to bid on anything you like. We won’t take advantage of others, everything you win today will be my gift to you as your mother. My wealth doesn’t accompany me when I live, nor when I die. Weiqiang doesn’t need much; help me spend it.”

Lan Xuanyu was stunned, and his sense of crisis diminished slightly, but instinctively wondered, is this to lull me?

With his mind steadied slightly, he had already formulated a plan. He also realized, given Zhang Chujia’s wisdom, she would understand that his bloodline would progress with cultivation. Even if the Sky Dragon Leader targeted him, it would likely be after he reached Ultra Divine level. So, for now, he wasn’t in danger. Moreover, once he achieved Ultra Divine level, he might not fear Jiang Weiqiang.

Thinking this, he composed himself, but some matters required preparation. With Zhang Chujia present, even Zhong Zhichang couldn’t protect him. He even doubted if restoring Zhang Chujia’s youth was the right decision. Without the restoration, she might not have emerged from seclusion.

“Thank you, godmother. But I can’t just take your things without reciprocating; there are many things I wish to buy.” Lan Xuanyu lowered his head somewhat bashfully.

Zhang Chujia said with a faint smile, “No problem, buy as you wish. Do you think I can’t afford it?”

Lan Xuanyu’s divine consciousness stirred, guarding his mind as he transmitted, “Godmother, I wish to speak to you alone.”

“Hmm? Tell me,” Zhang Chujia said, her divine consciousness enveloping them instantly. With her strength, no one could eavesdrop, even the Sky Dragon Leader.

Lan Xuanyu said, “Godmother, one shouldn’t receive gifts without merit. I cannot accept your treasures for free. I’ve been an orphan since childhood, and your recognition as your daughter gives me an unprecedented feeling. I’m unsure how to express this, but I feel I should contribute something to you as well. Previously, I didn’t know the Leader was your son. I know the Leader has always sought to evolve his bloodline to a higher tier, as he previously attempted at the Ascending Dragon Platform without much effect. Though I don’t know how my bloodline evolved, I’m willing to offer the Leader a drop of my Original Essence Blood for his research, to see if it could aid his bloodline evolution. If successful, with the Leader’s cultivation talent, he certainly could better assist you in living a longer life.”

Upon Lan Xuanyu’s words, Zhang Chujia’s gaze at “her” shifted instantly, her previous smile fading slightly with her eyes showing surprise—this girl was very astute!
