258: Dragon Vein

You Potian's Dragon Power blocked part of the Soul Breaking Art's power, but the remaining power was still more than he could bear.

He directly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, losing his ability to move, standing frozen in place, unable to recover for a long time.

There was nothing he could do; Yao Beasts focused on Physical Body strength and less on Soul Power.

You Potian's Soul Power had already reached the Spirit Realm Middle Stage, which was considered top-tier among Yao Beasts of his age, but he was still no match for Lu Xingchen's Late Spirit Realm Soul Power.

What's more, Lu Xingchen's Soul Breaking Art was a Heaven Rank Martial Skill.

You Potian was stunned, while Lu Xingchen formed another seal, releasing the Sea-Flipping Seal.

You Potian only recovered when the sea-blue Dou Qi Hand Seal flew in front of him.

In a moment of crisis, You Potian could only cover his head with both hands, enduring Lu Xingchen's ultimate move.

His massive Dragon body was directly flipped over and fell off the arena.

You Ling shouted loudly, "Young Clan Leader selection competition final, Lu Xingchen, You Huang wins!"

Hearing this result, all the spectators below the stage were shocked.

"Damn it, Lu Xingchen won! He defeated You Potian, who had broken through to the Eighth Rank, with the Realm of a Six-Star Martial Ancestor! How is this possible?"

"That black handprint Lu Xingchen used just now completely ignored You Potian's Demonic Power defense. That must be a Soul attack method, right?"

"It must be! Yao Beasts naturally prioritize Physical Body over Soul. This time, Lu Xingchen got lucky."

"No matter what method he used, a win is a win. I really didn't expect that the position of Young Clan Leader of the Netherworld Clan would be snatched by You Huang, who is the youngest and has the least experience. His luck is too good!"

You Potian's Physical Body strength was incredibly formidable; even after taking Lu Xingchen's Sea-Flipping Seal head-on, he did not lose his combat ability.

What truly severely injured him was the Soul Breaking Art.

He struggled to his feet from the ground, resumed his Human form, and glared at Lu Xingchen with gritted teeth, his eyes full of unwillingness.

You Ling patted You Potian's shoulder and said softly, "Xiao Tian, victory and defeat are common in war. You didn't lose unfairly in this battle. Learn from your mistakes, be ashamed and then brave, and you will have a chance to defeat Lu Xingchen in the future."

"Failure is not horrible, what is horrible is a broken spirit."

You Potian then regained some rationality and said in a deep voice, "Mom, I understand. I won't participate in the Young Clan Leader's succession ceremony. I need to go home and recuperate."

You Ling nodded slightly, allowing him to leave.

You Potian had been determined to win the Young Clan Leader position, and making him witness You Huang's inauguration would cause him a considerable blow, which was not conducive to his mental adjustment.

You Ling had a slight favoritism towards her precious son, so she acquiesced to his departure.

Lu Xingchen also walked off the arena, patted Xiao You's shoulder, and said with a smile, "With me taking action, taking down You Potian was easy."

Xiao You nodded heavily and said softly, "Xingchen, I really owe you a lot this time. The position of Young Clan Leader feels like I picked it up for free; I barely exerted any effort. Becoming your partner is the luckiest thing in my You Huang's life."

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "Between us brothers, there's no need to be so particular. Enjoy the honor that belongs to you!"

You Ling was also a decisive person and immediately held the succession ceremony.

Everyone came to the ancestral land of the Netherworld Clan to offer sacrifices to their ancestors and pass on the Young Clan Leader's seal.

As Xiao You's partner, Lu Xingchen also followed to observe the ceremony.

During the ceremony, countless experts of the Nether Dragon Clan bowed and spoke to You Kong and his wife.

The two Dragons enjoyed being surrounded by stars, smiling from ear to ear, and feeling immensely grateful to Lu Xingchen in their hearts.

The succession ceremony lasted an entire day, and only after the transfer of power was complete did Xiao You return home with Lu Xingchen.

In Xiao You's room, one Human and one Dragon looked at each other.

Lu Xingchen said with a smile, "Alright, Xiao You, my mission here is complete. It's time for me to return to Kyushu and continue my Cultivation path. My teacher is still waiting for me in Zhongzhou!"

Xiao You said in a deep voice, "Xingchen, don't be in a hurry to leave. I still have one more thing I need your help with."

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen was slightly taken aback.

"You Potian has already been dealt with by me. Do you have any other troubles?"

Xiao You nodded slightly, "That's right. This matter can also be considered an Opportunity for you."

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen immediately became interested and said with a smile, "Oh? Then you'll have to explain it in detail. What benefits can I gain?"

Xiao You said in a deep voice, "In the center of our Dragon Clan's territory, there is a mountain range called the Dragon Vein. The older generation of strong individuals in the Dragon Clan, when their lives come to an end, will go to the Dragon Vein to pass away, pouring their remaining power into the Dragon Vein, forming Dragon Power."

"The younger generation of our Dragon Clan, after making contributions to the Dragon Clan, can then go to the Dragon Vein to Cultivate, absorbing the Dragon Power left by their predecessors to strengthen their own strength."

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen suddenly understood.

"When I was fighting You Potian just now, there was a peculiar power on him that could resist the Immortal Slaying Power of the immortal slaying sword. I suppose that's the so-called Dragon Power, right?"

Xiao You nodded slightly.

"That's right. Dragon Power can continuously nourish our bodies, strengthen our Physical Body strength, and can also actively protect the body when encountering danger. It is an important factor in the strength of the Dragon Clan."

"You Potian has always stayed in the Demon Domain, and he is also the Clan Chief's son of the Netherworld Clan, so he often gets to enter the Dragon Vein to Cultivate. The Dragon Power within him is very powerful, far surpassing mine."

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "You mean, I can also enter this Dragon Vein?"

Xiao You nodded slightly.

"You're quick to react. Human Martial Artists can also absorb this Dragon Power, but the effect varies from person to person; in any case, there are no disadvantages. And there's something even more amazing."

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen's appetite was whetted.

"Keep going."

Xiao You said with a smile, "The Dragon Vein is divided into three parts: the outer area, the central area, and the Dragon Pool."

"The Dragon Pool is where the Dragon Clan Seniors pass away, and the Dragon Power is most concentrated there. The Dragon Pool opens once every ten years for Dragon Clan Prodigies to Cultivate, and all eight Young Clan Leader candidates have the qualification to enter the Dragon Pool."

"And the next opening is in three days."

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen's heart rejoiced.

"Then it seems I'll have to stay in the Demon Domain for three more days. I must go to this Dragon Vein! I must also obtain this Dragon Power."

Xiao You smiled, "I was waiting for you to say that! It is well known that the Dragon Clan has three most powerful Bloodlines: the Azure Dragon Clan, the White Dragon Clan, and the Nether Dragon Clan."

"This trip to the Dragon Vein, Dragons from the other two Clans will also participate, and there will inevitably be conflicts. Therefore, I must bring you along. Without you, I won't be able to lead the young people of the Nether Dragon Clan to defeat the experts of the other two Clans."
