Chapter 156 - 119 Linyan Yongfeng

Chapter 156: Chapter 119 Linyan YongfengThe True Dragon Race places great importance on the inheritance of bloodlines, and their bloodlines are closely linked with dragons. After a long period of evolution, this ultimately formed numerous ruling families centered around dragons. The stronger the dragon species, the nobler the bloodline and the more powerful the family. The Phosphorus Flame Dragon is one of the subspecies of the "Flame Dragon". Although it is not the top-tier bloodline of the Flame Dragon, it is still a powerful dragon species that common folk must look up to. In the True Dragon Dynasty, there is a family that inherited the Phosphorus Flame Dragon. Their ancestors mastered the methods of taming Phosphorus Flame Dragons, passing down their bloodline from generation to generation, growing and expanding, and the family surname became "Linyan". That is to say, the Linyan Family. The Linyan Family is located on the southern border of the Dynasty, owning vast territories, directly ruling several planets, and indirectly managing several vassal states in the south of the Dynasty. The Sky Feather Royal Court is one of them. To the Sky Feather Royal Court and the surrounding vassal states, the Linyan Family, in a sense, is the suzerain, representing the True Dragon Dynasty. That’s why the Phosphorus Flame Dragon is the only dragon that can be seen in the Thousand Peak Abyss Forest. Whenever this ochre-colored True Dragon appears in the sky, it signifies the arrival of the Linyan Family. For Earth, the Linyan Family is the lord of lords, exceedingly remote and unapproachable, almost a symbolic existence; Earth doesn’t even qualify to intersect with them. All that Earth knows about the True Dragon Dynasty is but slivers and fragments pertaining to the Linyan Family. Beyond that, almost nothing is known. "That person is obviously a member of the Linyan Family!" Ji Xinghuo, looking in the direction of the descending Phosphorus Flame Dragon, had little hope left in his heart. Within True Dragon Families, only by becoming a Dragon Lord can one be considered a true legitimate descendant. And a Dragon Lord with the family’s True Dragon bloodline is at the core of the legitimate line. That person already had a Phosphorus Flame Dragon, moreover at Flood Level, so his status within the family was undoubtedly high. This could be seen from the attitudes of those two Legendary Dragon Lords. Ji Xinghuo shook his head. With his current strength, the chances of obtaining that peculiar object were close to zero. Let alone the two Heavenly Kings and two Legendary figures in the Dynasty Embassy, even that person himself, in a head-to-head duel, his chances of victory were not high. And even if by some chance he managed to kill that person and obtain the item as desired, how would he face the Linyan Family’s retaliation? Searᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. This was not just about him alone. If his identity were exposed, Earth might become involved, plunging into irrevocable disaster! "It’s too risky..." Ji Xinghuo sighed unceasingly, it seemed he could only wait until he was stronger in the future before making a move. After all, he already knew his target and could plan slowly. After that, he made no further moves, leaving the hotel to wander in Yunxiao City, admiring the spectacular night vista of this Sky City, and savoring exotic delicacies. Then he returned to the hotel to rest. In the latter half of the night, Ji Xinghuo opened his eyes from sleep. The Phosphorus Flame Dragon returned, sensed through the magnetic field. That person rode on the dragon’s back, sent the dragon back to its cave, and then went back to sleep in his own room. The next day, that person got up early, evidently having recovered both spirit and physical fitness, and continued to practice martial arts in the Martial Arts Arena with the Legendary Dragon Lord. His Star Power and physical fitness were both incredibly strong, far surpassing ordinary Super Mutants, capable of fighting for over ten hours without showing signs of fatigue. It had to be said that this person really was powerful. Even without the necklace around his neck, his own Martial Arts Rank was very high, definitely at master level. Setting aside martial arts, his physical attributes were also outrageously strong – strength, speed, defense, and explosive power – he had no weak points, and his combat experience was ample. It would be very hard to find someone stronger than him among the Super Mutants, and if it were on Earth, he would at least be in the top ten of the ladder rankings! "As expected of a Dragon Lord!" Ji Xinghuo couldn’t help but envy such a talent. Descendants of the True Dragon Family, everyone is born with a great Talent Ability, the bloodline inherited from dragons by their ancestors, which merges into their own bodies and is passed down to the next generation. This talent allows them to stand out from the common Human Race, becoming True Dragon people. This talent is named "Dragon Descent". It’s a Transcendent Ability that allows the bodies of True Dragon people to become increasingly strong with age, their skin toughened, naturally immense strength, and speed and reflexes far beyond normal humans. Most importantly, True Dragon people with "Dragon Descent" have a chance to awaken as "Dragon Vein Users", who are regarded by dragons as kin. As long as they obtain the recognition of the dragons, both sides can establish a symbiotic relationship, with the Dragon Lords gaining strength and Abilities from the dragons. In turn, the Dragon Lords can also use Star Power to promote the dragon’s life evolution, making it grow more rapidly and awaken more Abilities. Dragon Lords can also normally integrate Abilities, usually choosing "Alien Coexistence". In this way, Dragon Lords and dragons can share Abilities, their relationship becomes even tighter, and both their strengths grow together. There are also "Dragon Lords" on Earth. This professional template was created with reference to the Dragon Lords of the True Dragon Dynasty. However, Earth humans don’t possess the "Dragon Descent" talent, nor do they have "Dragon Vein Users". They are a lot weaker compared to the true Dragon Lords. Furthermore, the strength of a Dragon Lord depends on their dragons. The Dragon Lords on Earth usually consist of weaker dragon species, called "pseudo-dragons" by True Dragon people. Whether it’s combat power or potential, they are far inferior to the Phosphorus Flame Dragon. There is not even any basis for comparison. Ji Xinghuo stayed in his hotel room all day, not venturing out, just observing the other party. Until dusk, that Dragon Lord mounted his Phosphorus Flame Dragon and left the Dynasty Embassy again. Watching the direction in which he flew, it was the same as yesterday. Ji Xinghuo grew curious, so he left the hotel and followed. The place where the Phosphorus Flame Dragon landed was on another mountain peak, nearly ten kilometers away. He took a leisurely walk for over an hour before reaching that mountain peak, then followed the winding streets upwards. "So this is the entertainment district." Ji Xinghuo’s magnetic field sensing scanned the surroundings, and he suddenly realized. This mountain peak was truly a place of feasting and revelry, with bars, night clubs, and clubs hidden among garden-like woods, as well as many private places frequented by jovial men and women. Judging by their dress and strengths, they seemed to be the upper-class citizens of Yunxiao City. With the Queen’s centennial celebrations drawing near, many foreign envoys had arrived in Yunxiao City. However, race was never an issue; rather, it made the festivities even wilder. "Can this even work?" "Uh... " "That position is so bizarre, aren’t they afraid of breaking something?" Although he only deduced their actions from the shapes of magnetic fields, without a real image, some silhouettes alone were quite an eye-opener. "Damn!" Ji Xinghuo suddenly saw a group of "people", and with just one glance, his mind was flashed like a struck match, and he exclaimed internally, "My eyes... " Then he immediately shut off the magnetic field sensing in that direction. Fearing he would see more unsightly things, he quickened his pace and continued up the mountain. The Phosphorus Flame Dragon’s massive form was easy to locate. At the moment, the Phosphorus Flame Dragon was half-lying in a spacious courtyard with its eyes half-closed. Several Winged People guards stood around, but they all kept their distance and dared not get close. And its master was in the room next to the courtyard. He was not alone. Ji Xinghuo found the Dragon Lord, naked, with eight similarly naked figures surrounding him. Mostly humans by shape, but three were Winged People. "Quite diverse tastes," opined Ji Xinghuo. From his perspective, the Winged People’s looks weren’t exactly attractive, but not ugly either; their facial features were almost similar to humans’, except for the nose, making for a distinctive appearance. However, there were two things about the Winged People that he found unacceptable. First, both their hands and feet were claws. Though shaped like hands, their nails were sharp and covered with a thick keratin layer, wrinkled like chicken feet. From a human aesthetic perspective, there was truly no sense of beauty. Second, the Winged People had feathers on their legs and necks, and even feathery hair, which really didn’t evoke any desire. Yet for this Dragon Lord, it didn’t seem to be an issue at all; if anything, it appeared to add to the excitement. At the moment, he was vigorously engaging with a female Winged Person beneath him. Ji Xinghuo watched briefly. "Impressive!" "The hell, he can actually do it!" Ji Xinghuo was extremely impressed. He casually sat down in a garden by the street, enjoying the night view of Yunxiao City. From time to time, he activated his magnetic field sensing to observe the situation. The Dragon Lord had an impressive vigor—cycling through eight humans and Winged People, each of them bested in defeat. After two hours, he brought in another batch, indefatigable, changing groups three times in total, until he was finally sated in the late night. Then, he had a great feast served, devouring it ravenously and cleaned his plate. While eating, he drank. A whole table of fine dishes accompanied by several bottles of aged wine were guzzled down, ending with satisfied belches before he leaped onto the back of the Phosphorus Flame Dragon and took off, under the gazes of the servants and guards. "Truly worthy of being a Dragon Lord!" As Ji Xinghuo watched the Phosphorus Flame Dragon fly towards the Dynasty Embassy, he once again marveled. The other practiced martial arts for over ten hours during the day, reveled for seven or eight hours at night, and still was brimming with energy, eating and drinking voraciously—as if his body were made of iron. Upon second thought, he considered such a life quite enviable. Being the Dragon Lord of the Linyan Family, such indulgences were nothing, nor were they bad habits. Ji Xinghuo followed from behind and slowly made his way back to the hotel. In the following days, he noticed the Dragon Lord’s life was quite routine: practicing martial arts at the embassy during the day, partying at night, always at the same nightclub. However, the attendees who served him changed daily. Aside from humans and Winged People, sometimes he’d indulge with other races as well, truly a vast palate. Ji Xinghuo figured out his pattern but had no particular thoughts about it; he had no opportunity. During the day, he often visited restaurants and shops near the Dynasty Embassy, occasionally hearing tales about the Dragon Lord. Sure enough, some recognized him. This Dragon Lord was named "Linyan Yongfeng", the sixth-generation descendant of the current Phosphorus Flame Dragon King, 19 years old (about 35 Earth years). From an early age, he showed extraordinary martial arts talents and was considered the strongest of the current generation of Dragon Lords in the Linyan Family. In the eyes of the True Dragon Dynasty, Linyan Yongfeng was a rare genius, deeply favored by the Phosphorus Flame Dragon King. This time, for the Queen’s centennial celebration, the Phosphorus Flame Dragon King sent a congratulatory delegation. Linyan Yongfeng joined them, followed his family’s elders to Yunxiao City, and came out to gain some experience.
