Although saying this, Master Blood Dragon’s gaze still lingered on Bai Yan, who was on the platform. After giving instructions to the Abnormal at the betting area, Bai Yan casually smiled, turned around and floated back to the chair in front of the platform, then sat down. "How do you feel? Want to take a break?" Master Blood Dragon quickly came forward, asking with concern. Summoning a thousand dragon veins must have exhausted Bai Yan’s Loyal Soul Inheritance significantly. If he didn’t rest enough and something went wrong in the match against Chen Wuwei, that would be truly embarrassing! "Um, better take a rest." Bai Yan suddenly frowned, nodded, and spoke. It wasn’t due to the consumption of the Loyal Soul; even though a thousand dragon veins were summoned, Bai Yan didn’t feel any discomfort in his Loyal Soul Inheritance. There was no consumption at all. Instead, there was even a flicker of a feeling of Perfection, as though his Talent bloodline had slightly improved. Bai Yan needed to rest mainly because he felt an anomaly in his Dragon Pattern Longsword. The Dragon Pattern Longsword had undergone some changes that Bai Yan hadn’t anticipated. "Good! Rest well, there’s no rush for the next match! If you feel unwell, tell me. We can even reschedule the match to tomorrow." Master Blood Dragon nodded, then stopped bothering Bai Yan and turned to chat and laugh happily with Sima Xuanxuan and Elder An. Bai Yan was now the treasure of Hua Xia. Not only was delaying the match for him possible, but as long as it was within the rules, Master Blood Dragon could fulfill any of Bai Yan’s requests. With such a talented disciple like Bai Yan, Master Blood Dragon felt his own face glow with pride. Who else to assist if not Bai Yan! As for Chen Wuwei, he just stood quietly, obediently behind Master Blood Dragon. Being Bai Yan’s disciple and his Demon Servant, letting the match continue, or even asking him to concede right then, would not be an issue at all. Whether it was Master Blood Dragon on the platform or the various Abnormals below, everyone believed that Bai Yan was already the champion. After conquering twenty-nine Heavenly Prides, this final match was actually just a formality. There was simply no comparison! Everyone, including those twenty-nine Heavenly Prides, rushed to the betting area to place their bets. What to bet on? On the wager between Chen Wuwei and Bai Yan, of course, betting on Bai Yan’s victory! They staked everything! The next round was clearly Bai Yan’s win! It was a guaranteed profit gamble; only a fool wouldn’t bet on it! Yan Qing looked somewhat worriedly at Bai Yan. This man was so competitive; surely the influence on his Loyal Soul Inheritance was significant. However, considering the critical timing, Yan Qing, despite being worried, didn’t dare to speak rashly. She could only stand behind Bai Yan with Sofia, forming a breathtakingly beautiful backdrop. The crowd below then saw the two women, feeling they matched Bai Yan so well. No one envied Bai Yan for having both beauties to himself anymore. Such beauties could only be worthy of an exceptional Heavenly Pride like Bai Yan. Bai Yan closed his eyes, seemingly regulating his breath, but his mind was actually immersed in the Dragon Pattern Longsword. Form description: Activated by the second ancient heritage gemstone, the Blood Cross activates the second form, Demon Lord weapon form. Passive Skill: Indestructible. Special Skills: Dragon Vein Transformation, Demon Sword Intent, Thousand Dragon Transformation (Sealed). The state of the Dragon Pattern Longsword hadn’t changed much, except for an additional Thousand Dragon Transformation Skill that was, however, sealed. Bai Yan examined the interior of the Dragon Pattern Longsword carefully, understanding that the sudden influx of a thousand dragon veins had somewhat overwhelmed the sword. The Dragon Pattern Longsword was undoubtedly powerful, but as a weapon that grew with Bai Yan, it couldn’t immediately handle the enhancement of a thousand dragon veins and had to temporarily store the dragon veins within its body. This was like a common person being forced to eat several bountiful meals at once, most certainly causing indigestion. At present, the Dragon Pattern Longsword was exhibiting symptoms of indigestion. Although the thousand dragon veins were powerful, and the Thousand Dragon Transformation Skill was incredibly tempting for Bai Yan to try out its power, Only after the Dragon Pattern Longsword had slowly nourished and then digested these thousand dragon veins, could Bai Yan re-summon these dragon veins. Bai Yan gave a wry smile and helplessly sighed. He had thought that with the assistance of the special Illusion Realm, his strength would have leaped significantly. However, he didn’t expect this situation to occur. His strength had indeed increased a lot, but these strengths were currently unusable. This truly made Bai Yan helpless. Well, since the dragon veins were already in the sword, all it took was some time to slowly nourish them. With this thought, Bai Yan opened his eyes. "How do you feel? Can you compete?" Master Blood Dragon had been paying close attention to Bai Yan, seeing him open his eyes, he promptly inquired in a soft voice. "Indeed, it should work." Bai Yan felt a surge of emotion, seeing Master Blood Dragon showing such concern for him; he hurriedly furrowed his brow, coughed twice, and managed a forced smile. "Perhaps... shall we hold the competition tomorrow?" A hint of care flickered in the aged eyes of Master Blood Dragon. "It’s alright, don’t break the rules on my account, Master." Bai Yan said meaningfully. "Alright then." Master Blood Dragon pondered briefly, then glanced at Chen Wuwei and nodded in agreement. This competition was just among our own people; it should not have any issues at all. Chen Wuwei, this shrewd old fellow, understood completely; at worst, he could just instruct him to admit defeat. Master Blood Dragon whispered a few words in Chen Wuwei’s ear, then stood up and levitated to the front of the stage. "It’s coming, it’s coming!" "The final round is about to start!" "So exciting!" "Bai Yan is definitely going to win, why the excitement?" "Haha, just seeing Bai Yan compete once more excites me!" "Me too! It’s hard to say how high the Dragon Pillar he will summon this time!" "It might even surpass ten thousand meters!" "I’m really looking forward to it!" Below the platform, people murmured quietly among themselves, each face brimming with excitement and anticipation. "The final match, Bai Yan versus Chen Wuwei!" Master Blood Dragon surveyed the audience with a commanding gaze, then loudly announced. Master Blood Dragon declared the start of the competition. Bai Yan and Chen Wuwei both gracefully ascended the platform and sat down with a calm demeanor. "Haha, disciple versus master in combat, this is interesting!" "Yes, I really didn’t expect that Chen Wuwei would not admit defeat voluntarily! He’s still perceiving the Dragon Vein!" "Hehe, it’s just for show! Everyone understands, it’s all in accordance with the rules; no one can overstep them." The crowd below laughed, not taking this competition seriously. Most of them were silently calculating how much money they could make after this final match. Bai Yan might be respected, but having money in hand feels even better! On the platform. "Boom~!" A seventy-meter Dragon Pillar suddenly burst forth from Chen Wuwei. After experiencing the shock of Bai Yan’s ten-thousand-meter Dragon Pillar, a seventy-meter height didn’t impress the crowd much; they just nodded appreciatively. "Not bad." "Fairly decent, he hasn’t embarrassed his master, Bai Yan." Even Bai Yan sat smilingly cross-legged on the spot, looking at Chen Wuwei with admiration in his eyes. Wait a minute... Something wasn’t right! Why hadn’t Bai Yan started perceiving the Dragon Vein yet? The audience gradually realized that the competition had been ongoing for over ten minutes, Chen Wuwei had already perceived his Dragon Vein, yet Bai Yan showed no sign of beginning his perception. Master Blood Dragon, alarmed on the platform, quickly asked loudly, "Bai Yan, why have you not perceived the Dragon Vein yet!" "The Great Draconic Ascension is of great importance, no trifling matter; compete quickly!" Master Blood Dragon urged. "Disciple feels exhausted, the Thousand Dragon Transformation has wounded my Loyal Soul, leaving me powerless to perceive further Dragon Veins." Bai Yan stood up, smilingly clasped his hands to Master Blood Dragon, and calmly said. "This match, I concede!" Bai Yan lightly smiled and shrugged his shoulders, seemingly indifferent. Suddenly. The crowd went silent, dumbfounded! Everyone’s first reaction was: "I bet on the wrong person again!!"
