207: The Shenglong Banquet begins
Time flew by in a flash, and in the blink of an eye, it was time for the Ascension Dragon Banquet to begin.
At this moment, Tanzania's Dragon traffic had increased severalfold, with Dragons in human form flowing endlessly through the streets.
Basically, all Dragons of the good alignment would come to witness this grand event.
To prevent overcrowding, the traditional arena method was not used; instead, a Sky Arena was employed, visible with just a glance upwards.
The Sky Arena, despite its name, was actually nothing more than aerial combat; during this period, spectators were not allowed to ascend, only the participating contestants.
To facilitate viewing, there were also magic crystal broadcasts, as Dragons were also keeping up with the times.
Restrictions were set around the arena to prevent accidental injury to spectators.
Lin Ye inquired and found out that thousands of Dragons were participating, which shocked him regarding the strength of the Dragon race.
What does it mean to have thousands of Star Domain Level Dragons participating, which are basically the only ones who can participate? It's likely that if they went all out, they could easily destroy Yi Lan's continent.
One must know that even the strongest Orc Empire only had a little over a hundred Star Domain Level Dragons, and as for the Elves, Dwarves, and Humans in the south, there were even fewer.
It was estimated that combined, there were only a few dozen.
Dragons truly lived up to their reputation as the most peak legendary creatures.
However, this was also related to the relative weakness of the Yi Lan continent; if it were other continents, their strength would be far greater than this, and there are countless continents in the Star Realm, with Yi Lan being just an unremarkable one.
As far as Lin Ye knew, the continent where New Radiance City was located had formidable strength, and it was said that deities existed there.
Not just deities preaching, but true deities existing, a power far stronger than Dragon Island.
From the mouth of the venerable Gold Dragon Overseer in charge, names were called out one by one, and then they rushed to the arena for their duels.
This inefficient method was destined to be lengthy, but for Dragons with long lifespans, it was a source of endless enjoyment.
They were not short on lifespan; Star Level Dragons could live for ten thousand years, and Stellar River Level Dragon Lords could live for tens of millions of years.
Don't even mention fighting for a few months; fighting for a few years was just like taking a nap.
Lin Ye's own lifespan was comparable to that of a Dragon, so he was naturally unhurried.
He continued to absorb inherited knowledge while watching the battles.
It was only after a month of fighting that it was his turn.
He quickly dispatched the unknown Dragon in front of him, drawing cheers from the crowd of Dragons below.
The Gold Dragon Overseer in charge nodded, highly optimistic about him.
He also knew some things about Lin Ye; as an elder, he had a clear understanding of every Dragon's information—simply put, there were only so many Dragons, so he knew them all clearly.
Lin Ye stepped down.
In reality, there weren't many true Dragons, only about two hundred; the rest were Wyverns, and as for Dragonbeasts, there were none, as those without intelligence were not qualified to come to Tanzania.
After Lin Ye finished absorbing the inherited knowledge, he began to wholeheartedly watch the competition; anyway, there was nothing else he could do, and it was a good opportunity to understand his opponents' strength and learn more about Dragon abilities.
Most of the Dragons were still the more common types, while the rare Gem Dragons seemed to have weak combat power and were easily eliminated.
Lin Ye felt regret; he had wanted to see the Gem Dragon's abilities, but they turned out to be so pathetic.
However, their abilities were indeed not suitable for direct combat.
After waiting for half a month, it was finally his turn again.
This time, it was no longer a Wyvern, but a true Dragon.
“Hello, my name is Levis.” This was a Bronze Dragon.
Lin Ye also introduced himself.
The Bronze Dragon seemed very talkative and was about to speak, but was glared at by the Gold Dragon Overseer, and could only chuckle awkwardly and begin the battle.
The two-hundred-meter-long Bronze Dragon, amidst a yellow light, shaped a giant stone Dragon that charged towards Lin Ye.
Lin Ye had already seen the Bronze Dragon's abilities, so he had no interest in him; with an easy flick of his claw, using only a portion of the Dragon God Claw's power, he shattered it.
Cheers erupted from the Dragons below; a one-shot kill, another one-shot kill—this one was truly amazing.
The Gold Dragon Overseer looked at him with admiration; with his eyesight, he naturally saw that Lin Ye had not used his full strength.
The young Dragon was formidable.
The old Dragon felt that there was a successor.
After a month, it finally came down to the top ten elimination rounds.
The further Lin Ye progressed, the more difficult he found it; although the Dragon God Claw had not been forced out, almost all of his other abilities had been used.
Among the Dragons who made it into the top ten, there were four Gold Dragons, three Silver Dragons, one Bronze Dragon, one Black Iron Dragon, and Lin Ye himself.
The Gold Dragons' abilities were almost overwhelmingly strong, followed by the Silver Dragons; the strength of the other Dragons showed a clear difference from them.
Moreover, after entering the top hundred, apart from Lin Ye, there were no more non-pureblood Dragons.
“Lin Ye, you are amazing.” Liyue's eyes were filled with admiration.
She had been eliminated around the sixtieth place; she was very young and had just entered this tier, not yet reaching the limit of this tier, but relying on her Silver Dragon abilities, she still managed to reach over sixtieth place.
“Hmm, but the other opponents are very strong, and I'm not very confident either.” Lin Ye was not being modest; he genuinely lacked confidence, especially regarding the leading Gold Dragon, whose abilities exceeded his imagination.
Barty, a Gold Dragon, at the peak of Star Domain Level, with a double domain Fusion, and his laws had reached minor completion.
This configuration had almost reached the limit of this tier.
He was also the only Dragon Lin Ye had seen with a double domain Fusion.
Barty had fused the domains of fire and Gold Dragon, making him incredibly powerful.
At the Gold Dragon Overseer's summons, Lin Ye entered the arena.
This was a Silver Dragon.
The Silver Dragon also did not dare to underestimate Lin Ye, choosing the most stable fighting style, releasing countless ice shards that surrounded Lin Ye.
Lin Ye unleashed all his boosts, adding a few points of the Dragon God Claw's power, and with a few claw strikes, instantly killed him.
Barty's pupils below slightly constricted, realizing that this opponent was not simple.
Lin Ye looked at him, with a hint of provocation in his eyes.
Barty was intrigued.
After Lin Ye stepped down, it was his turn to enter; he transformed into his true form, a full eight hundred meters long, intimidating all around him; his opponent was a Gold Dragon, also a Gold Dragon, also at the limit of this level, but he was easily defeated by Barty; the gap between the two Dragons' laws was too great.
His laws had only just entered the initial stage, while Barty's laws had already reached minor completion, and they were fused laws.
Next, the two seemed to be competing against each other, you defeat one, I defeat one.
The Gold Dragon Overseer intentionally adjusted the duel schedule, just to prevent the two from meeting.
The spectators below, who were just there for the show, were truly feasting their eyes.
Finally, it came down to the final battle.
The two flew into the sky; Lin Ye looked at the eight-hundred-meter-long Barty and decided to go all out.
When Dragon Transformation and all other aspects were fully activated, he did not stop; his trump card, Fusion, was activated.
Fusing with Xiaobai's Ying Dragon Bloodline, his bloodline concentration instantly surged, emitting terrifying Dragon prestige.
The spectator Dragons had not expected Lin Ye to have such a move.
“What is this? Why is his bloodline strength surging?” The Gold Dragon Overseer also couldn't figure out what was happening.
The probability of a Star Spirit giving birth to a bloodline and then a Fusion skill was practically negligible.
And there were probably only a few who had given birth to a Dragon bloodline.
So this touched upon the Gold Dragon Overseer's blind spot of knowledge.
