Chapter 349 Winning the Championship_2
Fuck, look at your body, nothing but skin and bones, and that black aura constantly spewing from you, doesn't your conscience hurt when you say that?!
Since your conscience doesn't ache, then we'll use our fists to make you feel the physical pain!
A group of old dragons, their bodies glowing, approached with unfriendly expressions.
"Wait, wait, don't—ow!"
...
Dong Jun's entire body was shining as he ferociously chased in the direction of the Black Jade Emerald Python's escape.
It must be said, at the brink of life and death, the Black Jade Emerald Python exploded with a tremendous will to survive.
The desire to live, stemming from the depths of its bloodline, allowed it to desperately run for dozens of miles.
In the end, the Judgment Chains pierced through the lake surface into its spine, pulling it out of the water.
Watching the still struggling Black Jade Emerald Python, Dong Jun condensed the Hammer of Light in his right hand and then struck its head heavily.
The Black Jade Emerald Python instantly fell asleep.
The world quieted down.
Dong Jun stored the corpse of the Black Jade Emerald Python into his Storage Ornament and then flew off in a random direction.
After Dong Jun left, just beneath the surface of the water, a Beast Taming dragon of the water Attribute with a body of azure blue ran out from the water, its gaze heavily set on the direction Dong Jun had left.
"Why did you hide just now? That one being hunted must be a Transcendence monster, right? What if they both suffered injuries?" The voice of the Beast Tamer echoed in its mind.
The Azure Wave Dragon shook its head, "Impossible."
It didn't sense any sign of mutual defeat from the opponent.
More importantly, it was a light dragon!
Light dragons are best at Healing, as long as they have magic power, they would never allow themselves to have wounds.
Having just engaged in combat, Chen Xing roughly understood Dong Jun's strength.
In the competition... killing recklessly!
Not only Chen Xing but also the large number of Beast Tamers who had been watching shared this thought.
While it's not unheard of for those at the Evolution Stage to defeat those at the Transcendence Stage, without exception, only monstrously strong entities have accomplished such feats.
Sometimes, many sessions of the Ten Thousand Dragons Conventions might not produce even one of such instances.
On a small island in the lake, a Nine Nether Purgatory Dragon, black patterns against a red base, lay resting with its eyes closed.
Because it disliked sharing an island with other competitors, it chased away anyone else who tried to rest there.
Those who refused to leave got beaten up and subsequently behaved themselves.
After all, everyone was there to get higher scores, and if one were seriously injured now, how could they score high later on? Even if not eliminated, it wouldn't make much of a difference.
This behavior, although domineering, was somewhat common in Dragon Emperor Giant City.
Moreover, the rules of the Ten Thousand Dragons Convention allowed participants to kill each other, but unless there were deep hatreds, it was rare to do so in public.
"Hm?"
The Nine Nether Purgatory Dragon opened its eyes, irritation flashing in their depths.
"What's up?" The young master sitting next to it sensed his Beast Taming dragon's mood.
The Nine Nether Purgatory Dragon said, "There's a dragon coming."
"Another blind one coming our way?" The young master frowned. Was he too mild-mannered, so people dared to mess with him?
Did they really think he wouldn't kill a Beast Taming dragon?
"As soon as it gets here, just attack, or they'll really think I'm made of mud," the young master said indifferently.
With three days total for the competition, having a place to rest in the middle was crucial. If there were strangers nearby, one would need to expend energy on guard duty. It was better to eliminate the hassles right from the start.
A hint of cruelty flashed in the eyes of the Nine Nether Purgatory Dragon, "Sure."
Among the dragons, the Nine Nether Purgatory Dragons were known for their volatile temper, naturally preferring to live in extreme environments.
The Nine Nether Purgatory Dragon looked towards the horizon, "It's here."
In the distance, a white light approached rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, it was right in front of them.
"Slap!!!"
A slap hit its face.
The Nine Nether Purgatory Dragon tried to resist with all its might, but the overwhelming Power of Light, like an unstoppable torrent, crushed all the strength it had mustered, and its neck bent uncontrollably, followed by its body lifting off the ground and being flung away, rolling dozens of times like a tumbling gourd before its head plunged into the ground.
Only its tail remained sticking out.
It kept this position without moving an inch.
Atop the mountain, Dong Jun's figure appeared, standing at the highest point of the island. He surveyed his surroundings. Although the island wasn't large, it had a beautiful environment and a good geographical location. He was quite satisfied with the place. Indeed, this was where he would spend the night.
He glanced at the Nine Nether Purgatory Dragon playing dead at the foot of the mountain.
Dong Jun disdainfully said, "Scram! Leave my territory."
The Nine Nether Purgatory Dragon pulled its head out of the earth.
It looked up angrily toward Dong Jun at the top of the mountain, "You—"
Before it could finish speaking, a gate to the heavens above opened right above its head.
A sword's tip poked through slightly.
The Nine Nether Purgatory Dragon quickly calmed down and said, "Fine."
Having said that, it grabbed its Beast Tamer and flew off into the distance.
"Why are you running!" The young master's face turned beet red with anger. When had he ever been so humiliated? His Beast hadn't even fought, just ran away.
How would his fair-weather friends see him when he got back! And how would his brothers, who had always been at odds with him, mock him now!
"It would be death." The Nine Nether Purgatory Dragon had never been so calm before.
Glancing at its Beast Tamer, who was still caught up in his anger, the Nine Nether Purgatory Dragon said, "You can't summon any other beasts. Otherwise, it would be a violation of the rules, and you would be directly disqualified. Then, I would lose my qualification for the Ten Thousand Dragons Pool bath."
"You know you can't win without even fighting?"
"Really can't win," the Nine Nether Purgatory Dragon said solemnly.
Its innate passive ability was called the Sense of Direct Death.
The effect was simple, it could sense the opponent's weaknesses, and it had another ability—to clearly feel the threat of death when faced with it.
Remembering the Nine Nether Purgatory Dragon's passive ability, the young master gradually calmed down from his anger.
"Damn it, what kind of freak has come this time," the young master muttered through gritted teeth.
For the next two days, Dong Jun continued to strike.
He successively slaughtered two Transcendence Stage monsters and hundreds of other monsters.
It wasn't that he couldn't kill more—there just weren't any opportunities.
As a large number of contestants entered the lake to hunt, the number of monsters in the water decreased drastically.
And they weren't foolish NPCs charging forward. Faced with the rapidly increasing danger in the surrounding environment, they continued to emerge.
The remaining monsters either fled toward distant places or hid in the deep and concealed parts of the lake bottom, which was why the hunting efficiency decreased significantly later on.
When many Beast Tamers landed on the shore, Dong Jun became the star contestant in the eyes of many spectators.
A great number of gazes focused on him.
Initially, Dong Jun felt somewhat uncomfortable, but he quickly adapted, held his head up high, puffed out his chest, and his face beamed with pride.
"Hand over the heads or bodies of the monsters you've slain," the Scorching Sun Golden Dragon told the contestants, though its attention was mostly on Dong Jun. Your next journey awaits at My Virtual Library Empire
Piles of trophies were presented—some had as few as seven or eight, others as many as several hundred.
When it was Dong Jun's turn, he made a gesture on his ring.
A mountain of monster corpses piled up, with the bodies of three Transcendence Stage monsters standing out conspicuously among the ordinary beasts' bodies, incredibly eye-catching.
Just like crystals in a sandpile, as long as they were within the field of view, they would be immediately noticeable.
Seeing the corpses of Transcendence monsters, many contestants inwardly cursed the freak.
Probably the first place would be this guy, as a single Transcendence monster corpse could be worth a hundred 100 Energy Level monsters.
Even with just one corpse, he would have been the frontrunner for the crown, let alone having three at once.
Together with the other monster bodies, he was likely to be this time's first-place winner.
After tallying the scores, the Scorching Sun Golden Dragon threw a token to Dong Jun, "You're ranked first. This is the Token for the Ten Thousand Dragons Pool. Other rewards will be given to you by a dragon later."
It paused, then said to Dong Jun, "By the way, one of our elders in the clan would like to meet you."
Before it could finish speaking, a strong white light suddenly burst through the void.
The next second, a vast expanse of white light engulfed the vicinity.
Through Dong Jun's perspective, Chen Xing saw boundless light.
An immense amount of light swallowed Dong Jun.
A mighty voice came from the void, "The Fire Dragon lineage has overstepped. This is a descendant of my Light Dragon lineage."
When the voice faded, Dong Jun's figure was already gone from that place.
Looking at the now empty field, a hint of astonishment flashed in the Scorching Sun Golden Dragon's eyes.
It was just supposed to pass a message, but it didn't expect the Light Dragon lineage to act so quickly.
It was not in vain they were acclaimed as the fastest of the Light Attribute.
