With a thought, Wang Long had returned to his room. He had spent half the night within the Nine Heavens Dragon Suppression Scroll, yet it felt as if only a moment had passed outside, with the sky still dim and not fully bright.
"Very well, now I will help you break through the Five Dragon Veins!" The voice of Dragon Duel echoed within him.
Soon, a familiar yet strange pain began to spread throughout Wang Long's body, a pain like being cut by knives that slowly moved along his meridians, as if trying to tear him into countless pieces.
The Thunder Dragon Qi was the sharpest blade in this world, rampaging wildly within him. Wang Long knew that the Dragon Soul had opened up his Five Dragon Veins and was beginning to refine the original four.
Thus, this pain was unprecedentedly long.
Others cultivate by absorbing the wandering Dragon Qi from the heavens and earth through various Martial Arts, gradually opening their internal Dragon Veins. Since each person has different affinities for various attributes of Dragon Qi, the type they absorb is usually the one most suited to them.
This type is naturally the easiest for them to use when performing Dragon Techniques.
Wang Long, however, was different. Each of his breakthroughs relied on defeating the Dragon Soul. The Dragon Soul forcibly infused its devoured essence into his Dragon Veins. Although this method was faster than others, it resulted in a chaotic mixture.
At this moment, the Dragon Qi within his Dragon Veins consisted of four major types: earth, fire, thunder, and even poison from demonic creatures. Thus, he often found himself in awkward situations where he lacked sufficient Thunder Dragon Qi when using Dragon Techniques.
This time, however, Dragon Duel completely refined his previous Dragon Veins, transforming them all into reservoirs for storing Thunder Dragon Qi, laying a solid foundation for future battles.
Therefore, although Wang Long was enduring excruciating pain, he could only grit his teeth and bear it.
This suffering lasted for over an hour. By the time all Five Dragon Veins were connected and filled with pure Thunder Dragon Qi, the sky had already brightened.
Wang Long slowly opened his eyes and gently extended his hand. With a thought, surging Dragon Qi flowed through him with a sizzling sound. With just a slight mental command, five Thunder Blades formed at his fingertips and stood upright.
"Indeed, my Dragon Qi has increased by more than ten times!" Wang Long couldn't help but feel overjoyed. In the future, when using those techniques that consumed a lot of Dragon Qi, he wouldn't have to constantly calculate and worry anymore!
"More importantly, having just observed the battle between Thunder Dragon and Primal Thunder Beast, I seem to have gained some insights into my training in Dragon Arts. The desperate fighting styles of these two beasts and their techniques bear quite a resemblance to Thunderfire Sun; if I can master this technique more precisely, perhaps I can use it in everyday situations..."
"Uh? Oh no, there's still training... I'm going to be late!"
In the training of Dragon Martial Arts, being late even once could result in immediate dismissal and no further employment! Wang Long dared not delay, hurriedly putting on his clothes and sprinting towards the Training Ground.
"Elder!"
From a distance, he spotted Zhang Tailai, Li Xinghe, Liu Chengyan, and Jiang Xue, quickly greeting them to indicate that he had arrived.
Zhang Tailai did not scold him but merely nodded slightly, his gaze shifting to Wang Long, suddenly exclaiming in surprise.
"Wang Long, you... broke through?!"
Zhang Tailai asked in disbelief, a hint of excitement showing on his usually calm face.
"Yes, I accidentally opened the Fifth Dragon Vein last night!" Wang Long chuckled and replied honestly.
"What?!"
Both Liu Chengyan and Li Xinghe's expressions changed drastically, and even Jiang Xue turned pale.
"You just opened the Fourth Dragon Vein a few days ago; it hasn't even been a month, and you've already... already broken through to the fifth?! What kind of monstrous talent is this!" Liu Chengyan exclaimed with wide eyes, unable to believe it.
"Hehe, just lucky..." Wang Long could only vaguely brush it off.
Li Xinghe also forced a smile and said, "I was going to say I opened the Fourth Dragon Vein too, but now it seems that's not such a big deal anymore..."
Liu Chengyan was taken aback and turned back to him. "You also opened the Fourth Dragon Vein?!"
Wang Long glanced at Jiang Xue when he heard this, his fists tightening slightly.
He knew he was reminded of Jiang Xue's hurtful words again and could only sigh and shake his head.
Zhang Tailai smiled and said, "Good, very good. Among my disciples, two have broken through the Five Dragon Veins, and one has broken through the Four Dragon Veins. It seems this year's Dragon Martial Arts Tournament champion will undoubtedly be us!"
He then lightly laughed at Liu Chengyan, saying, "You don't need to be too disappointed. When it comes to talent, you are no worse than anyone else. As long as you put in a bit more effort before the final competition arrives, you will definitely make a breakthrough! By that time, you can also awaken your Liu Family's Divine Ability, Misty Aura, and your combat power will not be inferior to anyone!"
The Four Great Guardian Families, apart from the Wang family which has inherited the dragon head throughout the ages, each of the other three families has their own Divine Ability, such as the Li Family's Reverse Chaos Eye and the Liu Family's Misty Aura. However, one must first break through the Fourth Dragon Vein to begin awakening.
Thus, the Fourth Dragon Vein is a realm that many disciples of Long City look up to at all times; once crossed, rapid progress is guaranteed. Otherwise, they would remain mediocre for life.
Upon hearing this, Liu Chengyan could only nod silently and secretly make a resolution.
"Zhang Shidi, I’m afraid you are mistaken. Some things cannot simply be compensated for by hard work!" Suddenly, a cold and sharp voice came from behind them.
Wang Long turned around and found that the newcomer was merely three feet away from them, yet he had been completely unaware. If that person intended to attack him...
However, Zhang Tailai showed no signs of surprise and calmly said, "Li Mohai Shixiong, what do you mean by that?"
The newcomer’s expression was dark as he spoke in a low voice: "What I mean is something Zhang Shidi naturally understands; there's no need for pretense. However, this time it seems Shixiong will take your champion position... Qian Yue!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure appeared behind him and whispered, "Master."
"What an impressive concealment technique; it's comparable to the Shadow Dragon Technique..." Wang Long thought to himself. Just now he had only vaguely sensed the presence of this person but couldn't even determine their location. The intricacies of this person's martial arts were evident.
"Second Uncle." Li Xinghe suddenly stepped forward and respectfully bowed.
Li Mohai nodded and sighed lightly: "It's a pity that Xinghe you are not in my team; otherwise, with your talent, you wouldn't fall behind."
Zhang Tailai interrupted him with a light laugh: "Shixiong has come here for something specific? If it's just casual chatting, we can go to my residence instead and not disturb these children’s training."
Li Mohai coldly laughed, "I came to see how far my junior's disciples have come, and whether they can surprise me at the upcoming Dragon Martial Arts Tournament. But from what I see now, it's nothing impressive. Perhaps they're a bit better than Liu's disciples, but still very limited!"
Zhang Tailai ignored his mockery and lightly replied, "The level of cultivation is determined by the results of the final competition. Brother, empty words are of no use."
"Hmm? You say I'm speaking empty words?!" Li Mohai's face immediately turned angry.
"In my junior's view, words spoken without verification are indeed empty. If Brother happens to fit this description, then I apologize for being blunt and rude."
"Hahaha!" Li Mohai laughed in anger, "Alright then, tell me, do you think any of these disciples surpass Qian Yue?!"
Zhang Tailai smiled slightly, "At least two."
"What?!" Not only Li Mohai but even Wang Qianyue behind him showed disdain and slightly twitched his lips.
"What a bold claim! Fine, then say it out loud. Let's have a competition right here! The loser naturally won't have the face to participate in the final Dragon Martial Arts Tournament!" Li Mohai said angrily.
Zhang Tailai smiled, "If I don't let my disciple compete, it would be like you just now—talking without action, which would be empty words. So, Wang Long, why don't you compete with Qian Yue?"
