Wang Long looked at the Thunder Beast's pitiful gaze and suddenly felt a sense of empathy. He too had been sealed by his father since childhood, unable to cultivate and completely imprisoned by the Dragon Soul within him, never able to step out of Dragon City. The lack of freedom and solitude had been his experience since he was young.
Although he did not understand why he could sense the Thunder Beast's thoughts, he believed it to be very real. With a sigh, he nodded at the Thunder Beast and said, "Alright, I will take you out to see this real world!"
With that thought, the two of them left the Nine Heavens Dragon Suppression Scroll and returned to the real world.
In the vast night, the Thunder Beast suddenly appeared in the room, immediately emitting beams of Thunderlight, illuminating the darkness like a Little Sun.
Unable to contain his curiosity, it looked around. Although there wasn't much to see in the night, it couldn't stop its wandering eyes, like a child who had just stepped out of the house.
"Ah... you know about the existence of the outside world. It seems that the First Generation Dragon Head must have told you about it? It appears he truly sealed you within this Nine Heavens Dragon Suppression Scroll to save you and preserve the bloodline of this Ancient Thunder Beast..."
The Thunder Beast hissed softly, and as its excitement grew, the electric light surrounding it intensified rapidly, becoming more dazzling.
"Shh... keep it down. You need to learn to restrain your Thunderlight and not reveal it all the time. Can you do that?" Wang Long asked tentatively.
The Thunder Beast glanced at him and suddenly closed its eyes, causing the two pearl-like lights to vanish instantly.
As it gradually calmed down, the electric snakes of Thunderfire surrounding it also began to dim slowly, eventually disappearing into the void of darkness.
Only its still silver-white fur remained, emitting a flawless faint glow that reflected with the moonlight.
Wang Long was overjoyed and laughed, "It seems you have already learned how to control Thunder Element. Truly worthy of being an ancient beast; you are indeed a wise creature!"
The Thunder Beast let out a low hiss, showing a proud expression as it nodded repeatedly.
The more Wang Long looked at it, the more he liked it. For a moment, he forgot how fierce and unruly this Thunder Beast could be when truly enraged. He chuckled softly, "Since you want to come out from time to time, I will give you a name... Hmm, since you are an ancient remnant species and also a Thunder Beast, I will call you Legacy Light. How does that sound?!"
The Thunder Beast gently nodded, seemingly pleased with this name.
Wang Long smiled and said, "Then it's settled. Legacy Light... good. From now on, you can cultivate in the Nine Heavens Dragon Suppression Scroll and absorb Thunder Element; whenever you're tired or weary, just call for me and I'll let you out. Is that alright?"
Legacy Light nodded excitedly and let out a few low hisses.
"It is said that Primal Thunder Beasts roar like thunder and have eyes like lightning. But you seem still young and lack that might!" Wang Long chuckled lightly.
"Alright, I need to rest now. If you don't want to go back, feel free to rest here beside me!"
Legacy of Thunder Beast He blinked and looked around, noticing that Wang Long had turned to the side and was slowly falling asleep. He shook his head and lay down beside Wang Long, closing his eyes gently.
A month passed quickly, and this round of Dragon Martial Training had come to an end, leaving only the final and most exciting event, the Dragon Martial Arts Tournament, awaiting everyone.
The entire Dragon City began to buzz with excitement because each Dragon Martial Arts Tournament was not only a battle for many participants but also a grand feast for all the people of Dragon City.
Here, they could witness the talents of the elite youths among the younger generation, see the first rays of brilliance from the future pillars of Dragon City, and marvel at the various exquisite and profound combat techniques. How could this not excite them?!
Although there was an annual Dragon Gate Ceremony where many young disciples would compete, how could it compare to the fierce battles among those who had undergone Dragon Martial Training and were stepping into the ranks of Dragon City’s guardians?
Thus, every year at this time, Dragon City was particularly lively, with people eagerly speculating which new disciple would claim the top spot and which disciple might unexpectedly emerge as a dark horse.
This year's competition venue was set in a large open space located right in the center of Dragon City, in front of the Ten Thousand Dragon Hall! This highlighted its importance.
At this moment, the open space had been surrounded completely, with four Arenas prepared inside. Numerous viewing areas were set up around them, with the central area designated for the dragon head, the leaders of the Four Great Families, and many elders.
The other three sides featured elevated seating so that all attendees from Dragon City could see clearly.
During this time, Dragon Tooth was at its busiest. Although various factions stirred with activity, there were no large-scale battles in a true sense. Therefore, Dragon Tooth's primary function was to maintain stability and peace.
At this moment, Dragon City was bustling with activity and densely populated. On one hand, they needed to ensure stability and tranquility in gathering places; on the other hand, they had to remain vigilant against external forces attempting to take advantage of any chaos.
Of course, there were also members from Dragon Hidden secretly participating in this latter aspect of work, which was not something ordinary citizens could know about.
Dragon Tooth, Dragon Vault, Dragon Martial Arts, and Dragon Hidden, the four major departments and powers within Dragon City were all mobilized to ensure that the entire Dragon Martial Arts Tournament was organized and secured meticulously without any flaws.
Early in the morning, Wang Long and his group arrived at the competition venue with Zhang Tailai, sitting beside one of the Arenas while waiting for the final matches to begin.
Not everyone who participated in Dragon Martial Training would take part in this competition; many recognized that they were no match for these direct disciples and wisely chose to withdraw. However, those who managed to persist until the end would be able to join Dragon Tooth, becoming part of those who would protect Dragon City in the future and gain everyone's recognition.
"The dragon head has arrived! The leaders of the four great families have arrived! All elders are here!"
With continuous shouts echoing through the air, the dragon head led numerous Clan Elders into the arena. Instantly, a wave of enthusiastic cheers erupted from the stands as everyone stood up to sincerely applaud their welcome.
The dragon head rarely showed a smile but gently waved at everyone in the stands, triggering an even more intense round of cheers.
Seeing this scene, Wang Long smiled slightly but felt a pang in his heart and sighed softly.
The Dragon Leader gently pressed his arm down, silencing the cheers of the crowd. In a deep voice that resonated throughout the venue, he said, "Alright everyone, it is time for the annual Dragon Martial Arts Tournament! First of all, anyone who can persevere and complete the entire Dragon Martial Training is a warrior! You are all the pride of Dragon City! I can confidently entrust the safety and future of Dragon City to you!"
"Oh!"
"Yes! We will not disappoint the Dragon Leader's expectations!"
Many disciples of Dragon Martial Arts felt their blood boil upon hearing this and responded loudly.
"Participants in the Dragon Martial Arts Tournament, you are even more the pride of the citizens of Dragon City. Regardless of victory or defeat, your courage and conviction will be remembered by all! Of course, the final glory belongs solely to the ultimate victor! It is right there; as long as you have enough courage and conviction, strength and skill, strive to seize it!"
"The Dragon Martial Arts Tournament begins!"
As the Dragon Leader's final words echoed, the atmosphere of the venue reached its peak. The citizens of Dragon City erupted in cheers, creating a frenzy that made the entire place feel like it was boiling over.
Wang Long, however, was secretly making a resolution in his heart.
"Dragon Leader, Father! I will not let you down! Today I will shine and make everyone take notice!"
