Chapter 1047: Chapter 1047: Overestimating Oneself? Chapter 1047: Chapter 1047: Overestimating Oneself? ‘Huh~~ actually wants to make such a bet with me? I think this guy must be brain-dead,’ Huang Xiaolong almost laughed out loud.

Huang Xiaolong owned a True Dragon as an external incarnation of himself, and it can be said that in this world, under the heavens, unless someone has an extremely pure dragon bloodline, they might possibly inherit more dragon power than Huang Xiaolong.

After feeling the dragon’s might emanating from the dragon head sculpture on the altar, along with the dragon-shaped phantoms spewing out, Huang Xiaolong was sure that his own True Dragon was not of pure blood. To put it crudely, it was like a mongrel dog. But no matter how impure, damn it, it’s still a dragon!

To Huang Xiaolong’s eyes, these people with dragon bloodline brought by the four geniuses on the Dragon Leaderboard, although they had made history by successfully inheriting dragon power for the first time, had very faint dragon bloodlines–basically, a bunch of country chickens and mutts.

“What’s the matter? Don’t dare to bet?” Huangfu Tianjiao’s face held an even thicker teasing look, “If you dare to bet, I’ll let you go up to the altar. If not, then get lost~~”
“Hahahaha~~ that suits me perfectly! Since you want to give me a few magical treasures, I won’t hold back,” Huang Xiaolong laughed heartily, casting his gaze around the plaza full of onlookers, and said lazily with a smile, “You all are witnesses.”

These words provoked laughter.

“Pfft~~ hahahaha~~ to think that this useless thing would dare to bet against the geniuses on the Dragon Leaderboard, it’s simply courting death.”

“He’s bringing disgrace upon himself!”

“This kid must be out of his mind.”

“Since ancient times, there have always been those who seek attention.”

“I can’t wait to see this kid slap his own face!”

…

Nobody truly believed Huang Xiaolong could inherit dragon power. To everyone, Huang Xiaolong gambling with Huangfu Tianjiao was nothing more than a foolhardy act.

Huangfu Tianjiao and the other three geniuses on the Dragon Leaderboard didn’t take Huang Xiaolong seriously at all.

Inherit dragon power?

As if it were that simple!

The four of them had used a vast amount of effort, resources, methods, and treasures for testing… only then did they find a few people with dragon bloodlines out of the countless masses!

Now, a random group leaps out wanting to inherit dragon power, as if people with dragon bloodlines are as common as cabbages on the streets?

“Hmph! My credibility is not bad. A promise worth its weight in gold! I don’t do things like going back on my word, nor do I deem such acts beneath me. There’s no need for you to be coy! Since you are willing to bet, then hurry up!” Huangfu Tianjiao sneered incessantly.

The other three geniuses also stood with their arms folded, exuding disdain.

“Fine, I won’t waste any more time,” Huang Xiaolong said, unable to wait any longer, “On my side, including me, there’s a total of six people. Blackie, you go first.”

Huang Xiaolong gestured with his mouth to the little demon Blackie.

“Ah?! Master, me?” Blackie was somewhat speechless. She hadn’t expected Huang Xiaolong to let her try, and thought to herself, ‘This is tough, I’m just a cat!’
However, Huang Xiaolong was essentially Blackie’s master, and she dared not defy his words.

“Master, alright then~~” Blackie said meekly, and then she scurried toward the altar with a spring in her step.

Zhan Tang was sweating profusely as he watched from the plaza. ‘The Island Master has thoroughly offended the geniuses on the Dragon Leaderboard this time, what is his purpose? Can he really inherit dragon power, or is he deliberately antagonizing Huangfu Tianjiao and the other geniuses?’ he thought. ‘Forget it, the Island Master’s actions are always unpredictable, and I can’t fathom his thoughts.’
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Blackie ran up to the altar.

Everyone’s face was already blooming with mixed expressions of mockery and derision.

But that kind of smile hadn’t had enough time to fully spread across their faces before it froze and stiffened–as if dead in the womb!

On the altar, miraculous visions abounded! Radiant glows and auspicious vapors! Flowers rained from the sky! Golden lotuses sprouted from the ground!

The dragon’s eyes opened once more!

From within the dragon’s mouth, a long and ancient dragon chant resonated!

A dragon-shaped phantom emerged and soared, perfectly entering Blackie’s body!

Pfft~~~!!!!!!

A mass of impurities, pure and untainted, spurted out from Blackie’s body!

Within Blackie’s dantian, a dragon-shaped phantom also coiled, and her demon body even underwent a tempering!

This was the phenomenon of successfully inheriting dragon power.

Genuine article!

“What’s going on!” Huangfu Tianjiao’s expression changed dramatically!

The other three geniuses of the Dragon Leaderboard, also had darkened expressions.

“Could this kid truly possess dragon bloodline? Then deliberately provoke me, leading me into a trap?” Huangfu Tianjiao’s mind raced, his eyes now harboring a trace of venomous killing intent.

The practitioners in the plaza fell silent, and were as quiet as cicadas in cold weather!

“No way?” Zhan Tang’s mouth dropped open.

Song Yuru, Ying Aoshan, Qingqing, and Xiaohong were also utterly astonished.

“`
“Don’t mention others, even Blackie who is standing on the altar right now is also very confused. ‘I am a cat! What’s going on?'”
Boom~~~!

The second dragon force was bestowed upon Blackie.

But that’s all there was.

After inheriting two strands of dragon force, Blackie’s dragon eyes closed, and the divine aura on the altar faded away.

“Hmph! I thought she was going to be amazing, but she only inherited two strands of dragon force…” Huangfu Tianjiao’s tightly wound nerves slightly relaxed.

The other three prodigies on the Hidden Dragon List also breathed a sigh of relief.

Only inheriting two strands of dragon force is really not competitive! Trash among trash!

‘Hmm, Blackie has spent the shortest time in the Wyrm Villa, the nurturing from the dragon aura is far from enough, hence, she can only inherit two strands of dragon force~~’ Huang Xiaolong was not disappointed at all.

He directly called Blackie down.

“Aoshan wife, it’s your turn,” Huang Xiaolong said with a smile.

Ying Aoshan, who had been mostly in seclusion at the Ying Family ancestral lands, cultivating the Kunlun secret realms, had also stayed at the Wyrm Villa for a relatively short time.

Ying Aoshan ran excitedly onto the altar.

Inheriting the dragon force was expected, but she barely managed to inherit two strands, same as Blackie.

“Hahaha~~~” Finally, Huangfu Tianjiao regained his proud demeanor, all his actions exuded arrogance. “Right, you can inherit dragon force, so what? Inheriting such a tiny amount of dragon force, truly pitiful, like a beggar! Keep going~~ I want to see what other tricks you clowns can pull off!”

On Huangfu Tianjiao’s side, a man with a beard who inherited a total of 67 strands of dragon force, smirked coldly. “Too pathetic.”

Huang Xiaolong, unfazed, had Ying Aoshan come down and sent Qingqing and Xiaohong up.

Qingqing inherited five strands of dragon force.

Xiaohong also inherited five strands of dragon force.

Thus, on Huang Xiaolong’s side, out of six people, four had completed the dragon force inheritance ritual, with a total of 14 strands of dragon force inherited.

“Big wife, you go,” Huang Xiaolong encouraged with a smile.

“Alright then. Little Long~~ can I… can I do it?” Song Yuru was very nervous.

“Big wife, you must have confidence in yourself,” Huang Xiaolong gently patted Song Yuru’s shoulder.

It should be noted that Song Yuru had lived in the Wyrm Villa for a considerable time, longer than Qingqing and Xiaohong. When she went to inherit the dragon force, it was expected she would surpass the two little demons.

Indeed, as soon as Song Yuru stepped onto the altar, various lights and shadows surrounded her.

She inherited a total of 13 strands of dragon force. Being a mortal who had never practiced ancient martial arts or understood spells, this wave of dragon force inheritance expelled too many impurities from her body. It was almost like she had undergone a complete transformation.

One strand of dragon force equaled the power of a Great Grandmaster of ancient martial arts accumulating 2,000 strands of True Qi. In other words, Song Yuru now possessed an unfounded ability, able to unleash a horrifying power equivalent to 26,000 strands of dragon force with a wave of her hand.

Not to mention comparing herself with these overseas cultivators, if she returned to the Huaxia mainland, she would be more formidable than a superhero. Even if besieged by dozens or hundreds of ancient martial arts great grandmasters, she could defeat and kill each enemy.

‘Big wife, this is the first gift you received after coming to the world of overseas cultivators, not bad, right?’ Huang Xiaolong smiled.

Above this island, some lesser giants who were in the tribulation-crossing stage were also floating in the sky, witnessing the events on the island.

Steward Murong from the Moving Flowers Palace was among them, with a very gratified expression in her eyes. “Good! Good! Not only do these two young ladies have great potential, but they also carry the bloodline of dragons! Heh~~ We must bring them into the Moving Flowers Palace! If we miss out on such gems, even I would not forgive myself!”

As Song Yuru dreamily walked down from the altar, aside from Huang Xiaolong, his two wives and the three little demons had all completed the dragon force inheritance ritual.

“Heh heh, five people, a total of 27 strands of dragon force~~ do you still want to compete?” Huangfu Tianjiao looked at Huang Xiaolong with pity. “Aren’t you ashamed? Do you want to continue?”

After a pause, Huangfu Tianjiao’s gaze flickered. “Let me do the math for you. On my side, five subordinates have inherited a total of 99 strands of dragon force. Now, your five people have a combined total of 27 strands, which means, unless you alone can inherit 72 strands~ you won’t win this game… do you think that’s possible?”

“Ahahaha~~~~”
In the plaza, the thousands of onlookers erupted into raucous laughter. They were mocking Huang Xiaolong’s overconfidence.

“Is 72 strands of dragon force a lot?” Huang Xiaolong couldn’t help shaking his head. “Ah~~ ‘geniuses’? I see them as nothing more than frogs in a well.”

“Why are you still talking tough? If you admit defeat now, you could still save some face. But you insisted on revealing your true colors! Enough, hurry up to the altar! Later, you’ll slap your own face first, then this young master will settle the old scores with you!” Zhan Tang, the Snowfall Prince, roared at Huang Xiaolong with a ruthless tone.

A faint smile played at the corner of Huang Xiaolong’s mouth, then he stepped onto the ancient stone steps, striding towards the altar!

At that moment, Huang Xiaolong could not be bothered with the others, because, from the second he stepped on the altar, that inexplicable calling grew stronger and stronger!

Inside Huang Xiaolong’s body, in his skin, internal organs, and even every cell, the dormant dragon aura was stirred!

“Today, I shall see how many strands of dragon force I can inherit!” Huang Xiaolong finally reached the altar and stood opposite the dragon head sculpture!

Huang Xiaolong’s eyes shifted slightly, and a torrential momentum arose from nowhere!

His entire being seemed to merge perfectly with the ancient altar, integrating as one, indistinguishable!
