Xiao Chen knocked Yi Qianyun and Xiao Jinyu into the air on the spot. They did not even have a chance to use the trump cards they prepared.
This blow was simply too great.
Be it Yi Qianyun or Xiao Jinyu, they both held great trump cards.
Yi Qianyun's trump card was his Holy Venerate Will. After it solidified, it doubled in might. Xiao Jinyu's trump card was the even sharper Great Perfection Sword Great Dao's Dao Might.
Unfortunately, those two ran into Xiao Chen.
Even though Xiao Chen was already fatigued and drained, the instant he brought out his two Dao Might, the two core disciples gave up, losing the courage to resist.
Now, aside from Xiao Chen, there was no one in the surroundings, no one in the vast dueling plaza.
Only the heavy rain existed with Xiao Chen.
Cheers rang out in the entire Heavenly Dragon Palace; all of them chanted Xiao Chen's nickname: White Robes Xiao Chen.
Time makes the man. The Heavenly Dragon Palace had not produced experts for a long time already. The Heavenly Dragon Palace required such a demonic genius to step forward and gain glory for it.
To fight for the glory of all the mixed-blood dragon bloodlines, the ones who lived at the bottom level of the empire.
Xiao Chen looked at the Heavenly Dragon Palace disciples excitedly chanting his nickname.
Some warmth appeared in his heart. This was the first time he had a strong favorable impression for these Dragon Race disciples.
After using the Supreme Dragon Fist and enduring all the attacks, Xiao Chen was already severely injured. His Soul Energy, Vital Qi, and Veritable Essence Energy were nearly all drained. However, these people did not take the chance to organize a second wave of attacks.
If there had been one more wave, unless Xiao Chen activated his Great Desolate Eon bloodline, he would have definitely died for sure.
However, that did not happen. As these people looked at him, they all silently chose to give up.
This was to allow the one who was truly qualified to be a heaven-class core disciple to be one.
No matter how intense the battle was earlier, no one activated their Dragon Race bloodline.
This was because there was no need to do so. While one could activate their bloodline, others could as well. This was not a fight to the death. There was simply no need to do so.
No matter what, one had to acknowledge that even the mixed-blood bloodlines, the ones who were the lowest, had their pride.
The dragon's pride would forever be in everyone's heart.
"Boom!"
The few heaven-class Elders made a move at the same time, and the dueling plaza descended back to the ground.
Elder Tian Yun looked at Xiao Chen, who was the only one left, with a very upset expression. Five months ago, he had the chance to take this person as his disciple.
However, due to Xiao Chen's bloodline, he had chosen the True Dragon bloodline Xiao Jinyu.
At that time, the angered Xiao Chen did not just endure silently. Instead, he loudly mocked Elder Tian Yun and said that that choice was a misjudgment.
Not much later, just five months, Xiao Chen used the Supreme Dragon Fist to prove his claim.
Xiao Chen's words were true.
Elder Tian Yun had made a misjudgment.
Although Elder Tian Yun felt somewhat embarrassed, he still carried out his responsibility. He said seriously, "The result of the heaven-class core disciple selection is out. Congratulations, Xiao Chen, you are the Heavenly Dragon Palace's new heaven-class core disciple."
After saying that, Elder Tian Yun took out a war banner with the Heavenly Dragon embroidered on it from a brocade box that a servant behind him held. Then, he handed it to Xiao Chen.
"Drip your blood on this Heavenly Dragon War Banner."
Xiao Chen did as told. He took the war banner and dripped his blood on it."Boom!" A Heavenly Dragon's Dragon Might spread out from the war banner. A dragon image carrying Xiao Chen's blood soared to the Heavenly Dragon Palace's main peak.
Then, this dragon image entered the Heavenly Dragon statue. From today onwards, Xiao Chen could freely enter the Heavenly Dragon Palace's main peak.
"Whoosh!"
At this moment, the war banner transformed. It grew to two meters long. When the wind gently played with it, the Heavenly Dragon Banner flapped noisily.
The Heavenly Dragon embroidered in the war banner seemed to have come to life, looking very lively.
"Xiao Jinyu, Zhang Ye, Yi Qianyun, Qin Yan, and Fang Tianyi. Congratulations to the five of you. You have obtained the right to be reserve heaven-class core disciples. You can enter the Heavenly Dragon Palace's main peak to cultivate as well. After more testing, you will get the chance to become formal heaven-class core disciples, " Elder Tian Yun said to those five, passing on the Second Palace Master's words.
This pleasant surprise made those five reveal expressions of joy.
It was just a reserve position, something far inferior to Xiao Chen's formal position; they did not even get a Heavenly Dragon War Banner. However, it was still a chance, at least.
"Come with me."
After glancing at Xiao Chen and the others, Elder Tian Yun brought the six back. Then, the other heaven-class Elders appeared and scattered the Heavenly Dragon Palace disciples watching the selection.
Thus, the heaven-class core disciple selection came to an end.
—
At the top of the Heavenly Dragon statue, the Second Palace Master and the Third Palace Master showed complicated expressions.
"Supreme Dragon Fist! It truly lives up to being a forbidden skill. Even this could not bring him down, " the Second Palace Master murmured after sighing.
The Third Palace Master said softly, "That is also because our Heavenly Dragon Palace disciples were willing to give him a chance. Compared to Xiao Chen succeeding in practicing the Supreme Dragon Fist, I am happier that our Heavenly Dragon Palace disciples still have their pride. Even though the empire suppresses them, they still do not bend their backs. Given that, the mixed-blood dragon bloodlines might still have a future.
"I will personally refine the Primeval Heavenly Pills for the disciples who gave up."
This statement startled the Second Palace Master."Third Brother, will you be able to hold up? Are you really going to waste all your time on this?"
The Third Palace Master said coldly, "I'm happy. You receive the new people. I'll go first."
As the Second Palace Master watched the Third Palace Master leave, he smiled bitterly. His third brother was still as reckless as before, and his temper never changed.
"They're coming."
The Second Palace Master looked around and saw Elder Tian Yun leading Xiao Chen's group of six in flying over to the main peak.
"I should get to work too."
The Second Palace Master appeared before Xiao Chen and the others at a tall platform in one of the halls dotting the Heavenly Dragon Palace's main peak.
"Greetings, Second Palace Master."
There was a difference in status. When Elder Tian Yun saw the Second Palace Master, he respectfully greeted the Second Palace Master.
Zhang Ye and the others were startled. This black-clad old man that suddenly appeared was actually one of the three mysterious Palace Masters of the Heavenly Dragon Palace.
Everyone quickly bowed and paid their respects together with Elder Tian Yun.
The Second Palace Master smiled faintly and said, "There is no need to be so polite. This old man's name is Jue Yang. Outsiders call me Old Devil Jue Yang. For you to become a heaven-class core disciple—and those with reserve qualifications—you are all pillars of my Heavenly Dragon Palace. There is no need to be so polite with me."
"Yes, Second Palace Master."
"According to the rules, only the newly advanced heaven-class core disciple can make a request of me. The reserve candidates do not have that right. However, I will make an exception today. You may all make a request of me as long as it is not unreasonable."
Palace Master Jue Yang did not say any pointless words, directly giving everyone a pleasant surprise.
Being able to make a request of this existence, who was possibly already a Divine Vein Realm Sovereign Emperor, was very tempting.
Everyone entered deep thought, clearly pondering what request to make.
Fearing another person would preempt his request, Yi Qianyun stepped forward and said, "Second Palace Master, this junior would like to ask for a Medicinal Pill or natural treasure that can dig out the potential of my bloodline."
Is this possible?
No matter what, a Great Desolate Eon bloodline was a boundless treasure trove for any cultivator.
Compared to ordinary cultivators, it gave a huge advantage.
The more potential one could dig out, the better. If one could transform just ten percent of their bloodline power, one could gain great benefits.
However, one could not rely on oneself for the transformation of bloodline power. One could only rely on external items.
Furthermore, the further along one went, the more difficult it would be. The requirements for the natural treasure's level would grow even higher.
"That is easy." Palace Master Jue Yang smiled faintly and took out a jade bottle and handed it to Yi Qianyun.
"This is a peak-quality Blood Transformation Pill that the Third Palace Master refined using ten natural treasures that can transform the bloodline. Only the Third Palace Master knows the Alchemic Recipe. Every year, the other outer palaces use astronomical amounts of resources to exchange for it."
"Many thanks, Senior Jue Yang."
Yi Qianyun received the pill with incredible joy. He carefully put away the valuable treasure. Qin Yan immediately said, "Second Palace Master, I would also like a peak-quality Blood Transformation Pill."
Palace Master Jue Yang smiled faintly and said, "You are too late. Please make another request."
Such a reply drove Qin Yan mad. Yi Qianyun felt happy in his heart.
The others stopped hesitating and made their own requests. Palace Master Jue Yang easily satisfied them. It was as if the requests that they racked their brains to come up with were just minor matters to Palace Master Jue Yang.
Elder Tian Yun, who was at the side, heard these requests and thought, These people's ken is still too low.
Now, only Xiao Chen was left. Palace Master Jue Yang handed him a jade bottle and said, "This is your reward for formally becoming a heaven-class core disciple. It has a specially refined peak-quality Blood Transformation Pill. On top of that, you also can make a request."
Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen did not accept it. He looked at Palace Master Jue Yang and said, "I can forfeit the Medicinal Pill. Second Palace Master, I would like to meet a person."
"What?!"
Qin Yan, Zhang Ye, and the others were all stunned. What kind of stupid request was this? This was too reckless.
