Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

With the enhancement of his spiritual power, he found it very easy to enter a deep meditation now, and he could awaken himself before any danger arrived.

The assessment in Seven Holy Abyss nearly made Tang Yuge collapse. It had more or less affected others to some extent. But for him, it was a great harvest.

The substantial growth of the Dragon Core gradually showed its benefits. The blood circulation driven by the Dragon Core was like a furnace, continuously refining his body. During this period, Lan Xuanyu found that the strength of his body seemed to have reached a new level, probably not inferior to Qian Lei, when possessed by Golden Fatty. Both in terms of strength and physical strength.

The improvement in physical fitness was just a bonus for others, but for him, it was a necessary path. Without a strong physical foundation, he couldn’t continue to break through to the next level. And this time, after the Dragon Core absorbed that immortal energy, its volume increased significantly, making his gold and silver bloodlines noticeably more stable and powerful. With the Dragon Core nourishing his physical fitness, the next breakthrough would be much easier.

Another good news was that the Treasure-Seeking Beast also awakened under the promotion of the Dragon Core.

After awakening, the Treasure-Seeking Beast just told Lan Xuanyu that it needed to wake up and gather the gains of this sleep, and then it didn’t make a sound again. But Lan Xuanyu could feel that it had awakened.

The Treasure-Seeking Beast was extremely important to him, especially in terms of experience. This time when the Treasure-Seeking Beast woke up, Lan Xuanyu could feel its difference. It was a different kind of attainment. Obviously, the Treasure-Seeking Beast had evolved or regained some of its original strength.

This should be related to when they detonated the advanced Spirit Ascension Platform. After the detonation, Lan Xuanyu himself had no memory. The Treasure-Seeking Beast fell asleep.

And after the detonation, what about the immortal energy? If the Treasure-Seeking Beast had indeed evolved, it was very likely that it had absorbed some of the immortal energy.

His consciousness slightly shook, and Lan Xuanyu gradually emerged from the state of deep meditation. When he opened his eyes, he happened to hear the voice of the broadcast. They were about to reach their destination, Dragon Source Planet.

Taking a deep breath, feeling the surging blood flowing in his veins, a faint glow appeared on Lan Xuanyu’s skin. There was a flash of brilliance in his eyes. He was indeed in his peak state.

Dragon Source Planet, we’re back!

The spaceship slowly descended into the Dragon Source Planet base. Although they were here a few years ago, Lan Xuanyu and his companions had very vivid memories of this place, especially those valuable Dragon Source Crystals, which were their first bucket of gold earned in the world of Sky Fighters. The spaceship came to a halt, and the hatch opened.

Wang Tianyu led the 33 Sky Wings down from the spaceship. There was already a group of people waiting outside. Of course, Lan Xuanyu and his group didn’t have such a prestigious reception, but Wang Tianyu, as the Vice Master of the Sea God Pavilion at Shrek Academy, certainly did.

At the forefront of the welcoming party, Lan Xuanyu saw a familiar figure – the base commander! He hadn’t been transferred.

Lei Junze, the overall commander of the Dragon Source Planet base in the Douluo Federation. He graduated from the outer court of Shrek Academy.

When Lan Xuanyu first arrived here and fought bravely against a level eight Source Dragon at the last moment, nearly falling into the hands of the Source Dragon, it was this commander who saved his life and once gave him guidance.

At this moment, Lei Junze had already led a group of subordinates to greet them. “Master Wang, welcome to Dragon Source Planet,” he said respectfully.

Wang Tianyu smiled slightly and said, “Commander Lei, there’s no need to be so polite. I’m just here as an observer this time.”

“Master Wang, please.”

While talking to Wang Tianyu, Lei Junze also saw Lan Xuanyu and nodded at him with a smile. Naturally, he remembered the young man who was bold and daring, only at the fourth ring level but dared to battle an eighth-level Source Dragon with a mecha.

This time, it was their graduation exam!

Lei Junze escorted Wang Tianyu to the command post, and naturally, there were officers arranged to accommodate Lan Xuanyu and his companions.

Compared to the last time they came, the treatment this time was much better. Each room accommodated two people, and they all had separate bathrooms.

Lan Xuanyu asked his companions to rest first while he requested to meet with the officer who arranged their accommodation, inquiring if he could see Commander Lei Junze.

Completing the mission naturally took precedence, but after several years away, he also needed to understand the situation on Dragon Source Planet before taking action. No matter how urgent it was, he wouldn’t act recklessly. The lesson from his first visit here, where his recklessness almost cost him his life, had made Lan Xuanyu much more mature and cautious.

After the officer made the necessary arrangements, Lan Xuanyu was quickly informed that he could go meet Commander Lei.

Dragon Source Planet Command Headquarters.

Lei Junze sat at the lower end, accompanying Wang Tianyu, and they were having tea.

“Master Wang, when I heard that you would personally coming, I was really surprised. It’s been over twenty years since we last met. You haven’t changed a bit compared to back then,” Lei Junze said with some emotion. He had met Master Wang when he graduated from the outer court of the academy.

Wang Tianyu smiled and said, “Yes! Many years have passed, and now you’re a prominent figure guarding the borders. I heard you’re doing well on Dragon Source Planet.”

Lei Junze quickly replied, “I can’t really be considered a prominent figure. I’m just guarding a region for the federation.”

Wang Tianyu said, “I heard that due to your outstanding performance here and the increasing importance of Dragon Source Planet, the military is considering promoting you to the rank of Major General.”

Lei Junze calmly responded, “Yes, I heard about that too. But it’s not appropriate to say anything until it’s confirmed.”

Wang Tianyu said gently, “The academy can’t help you in this matter. You know the military’s attitude towards us. If we intervene, it might backfire.”

Lei Junze nodded and said, “I understand. I’ll just do my duty. The academy won’t cause trouble for any graduate. This time, I’m here just to accompany those young ones for their graduation exam.”

Lei Junze understood his meaning and smiled, “These juniors are really fortunate! They’re actually being accompanied by you personally.”

Wang Tianyu chuckled, “Why do I sense a hint of envy in your tone?”

Lei Junze laughed and said, “Yes! Definitely jealous. Back then, we didn’t have such luck. These juniors are indeed outstanding. I just saw Lan Xuanyu. This kid left a deep impression on me. He dared to challenge an eighth-level Source Dragon alone when he first came here. He was only at the fourth ring level then. He actually managed to kill the level eight Source Dragon.”

Wang Tianyu said, “They are from an experimental class at the academy, so their situation is quite special. From what I see, the experiment is going well. They chose to come here for their graduation exam as Sky Fighters. The academy must ensure their safety. You’ve got a good eye; Xuanyu is a good kid and will be heavily cultivated in the future.”

After hearing Wang Tianyu’s words, Lei Junze couldn’t help but be surprised. The graduation exam hadn’t ended yet, but from what Wang Tianyu implied, had Lan Xuanyu already been designated for the Inner Court? This was an extremely rare situation! It showed how much attention the academy paid to Lan Xuanyu. He even wondered if Wang Tianyu’s visit this time was specifically for this junior! If that were the case, it would be extraordinary.
