No matter what others might be thinking, this contest for the position of Grand Legion Commander is his first battle since arriving at the Dragon Fang Vein—and he must win it in spectacular fashion.This is for his own future, and for safeguarding his father’s legacy....First Courtyard Peak, within a courtyardKenton was casting fish bait in a pavilion standing in the middle of a lake. His eyes fixed on the school of fish scrambling for food in the water, he glanced at Elvis standing beside him and said calmly, This contest for the Grand Legion Commander of the First Courtyard Legion has drawn a great deal of attention. You must put on a good showing.Elvis nodded. Rest assured, Uncle. I will do everything in my power to seize the position of Grand Legion Commander.Kenton replied, Do not underestimate your opponent. Although Albert wasted some time in the Outer Divine Continent, his natural talent is extraordinary nonetheless. This much is clear from his progress in the Fiend Demon

As the words echoed silently in Albert’s mind, the thunderbolt arrow—shaped like a mottled dragon’s fang—tore through the sky in a blinding streak, streaking forward with lightning coursing in its wake, as if a bolt of thunder had split the heavens apart.The Dragon Fang Lightning Current, blazing like a thunderbolt across the firmament, charged head-on at the descending Blazing Scale Fist Seal. But at that very moment, wisps of waterlight materialized out of thin air, forming several dazzlingly bright light mirrors. The mirrors erupted with a burst of intense radiance, shining down on the Dragon Fang Lightning Current. To the astonishment of all watching, over a dozen streaks of thunderous light abruptly appeared surrounding the original lightning current.More than ten Dragon Fang Lightning Currents streaked through the void, creating an awe-inspiring and spectacular sight.Gasps of surprise erupted all around the dueling platform.Is that the Water Mirror Art? Did he use it to crea

The first to bear the brunt was Elvis himself, his face twisting violently in shock. His pupils trembled as if caught in an earthquake, fixed on the roaring black dragon and netherwater surging toward him.He was well aware of Albert’s Black Dragon God-Tier Soul Art—but even a God-Tier Soul Art shouldn’t be this overpowered!Could Albert really be only at the Perfect Soul Realm?!At this moment, Elvis would not have doubted it for a second if someone told him Albert was at the Golden Soul Body Realm.But the truth was far from it.A storm of emotions flickered across Elvis’s face, then hardened into ferocity. He could sense that, terrifying as this saber strike was, it would be Albert’s only one!This was a desperate gamble.Albert had poured every trick, every ounce of power he possessed into this single slash. If it failed to defeat Elvis outright, Albert would be left utterly defenseless.Gritting his teeth, Elvis clenched his fists tightly. Soul power surged around his crimson gau

Clearly, Thomas already knew the outcome.So Albert did not stand on ceremony. He stayed to share a meal with the Lord of Dragon Fang Vein—after all, there were probably very few people in the entire Dragon Fang Vein qualified to eat a meal cooked personally by Thomas.Grandpa, I seized the position of Grand Legion Commander of the First Courtyard Legion in just two months. That’s pretty efficient, isn’t it? After drinking two cups of the spirit bamboo shoot wine brewed by Thomas, Albert asked with a grin.Upon hearing this, Thomas picked up a bamboo shoot with his chopsticks, put it in his mouth, and chewed slowly as he said: Not bad. You didn’t bring shame to your father’s name.A faint smile tugged at the corners of his usually stern, aged face, and the look of satisfaction in his eyes was undisguised.Albert looked at him eagerly and asked: Then Grandpa, what about the thing you promised me earlier?Thomas replied: You mean the Nine-Patterned Sacred Heart Lotus?Albert nodded hast

It’s a trivial matter. But if I go tell them now that I agree to open the pool three years ahead of schedule, with how shrewd those old foxes are, they’ll probably figure out my purpose right away.Thomas set down his bamboo chopsticks and looked at Albert with a faint smile. They’ll definitely know that I’m agreeing to the early opening because of you. So whether I lose face or not doesn’t depend on me—it depends on you.If you can really put on a dazzling show at the Dragon Aura Pool, seize one of the Coiled Dragon Pillars, and claim a wisp of the Profound Yellow Dragon Aura, then everyone will naturally praise me for my bold vision. But if you come back empty-handed, then people will secretly sneer at this old man for being whimsical and having lost his senses.Thomas asked him, So, do you have the courage to fight for a wisp of the Profound Yellow Dragon Aura—for the sake of this old man’s reputation?Albert was stunned for a moment, then fell silent for a few heartbeats before sa
