146: The heat in her eyes, she is a dragon, the only true dragon in the world!
Although the True Dragon Clan had returned to the Jun Family, there was still an unimaginable chasm between them, and both sides needed time to adjust.
This so-called adjustment wasn't just about verbal communication.
Moreover, the True Dragon Clan prided themselves on their strength. If they truly wanted to communicate openly with the Jun Family, the only way was through martial arts.
Looking up to them wouldn't work; they needed to be defeated in their own area of expertise to earn the right to communicate.
After all, no strong individual would rely on a weak one.
Originally, Jun Lingxiao was still thinking about who to fight, but now Lan Xue had delivered herself to him, which was perfect.
"Fight me?"
Lan Xue crossed her arms and subconsciously glanced around, a hint of confusion mixed with her noble demeanor.
Everyone around looked at her, watching how this princess of the True Dragon Clan would respond. Even the True Dragon Clan members were no exception.
However, their gazes towards Jun Lingxiao surprisingly held a touch of admiration. A mere Human Race cultivator, less than twenty years of age, dared to utter such bold words, filled with confidence, and even a sense of the weak overpowering the strong, which perfectly suited their taste.
"Do you know my Realm? Late Stage Heavenly Venerate Realm. The difference between us is not insignificant."
"While I do want to compete with you, I'm not interested in bullying an injured person, especially with such a huge difference in Realms."
Lan Xue tossed her hair, intending to leave. Although Jun Lingxiao had slain a Great Emperor, anyone could see that he used some secret technique with an enormous cost, making it impossible to use a second time. The True Dragon Clan was incredibly arrogant, so they naturally wouldn't make a move against such a weak existence.
But she had truly misjudged him.
Jun Lingxiao was not weak.
This didn't refer to his Dao techniques, but his Physical Body was equally strong.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Jun Lingxiao took a step forward. What seemed like an ordinary footfall descended with the might of heaven and earth. Instantly, the entire Floating Island began to shake, and several cracks spread towards Lan Xue, blocking her path.
"Now what?"
He looked up, meeting Lan Xue's gaze from afar. One's eyes were calm, while the other's were filled with surprise.
Although the cracks were repaired by the Formation within the Floating Island moments after they appeared, the scene just now had genuinely shocked everyone.
Jun Lingxiao had always displayed his talent in Dao techniques, appearing as an Incarnation of the Great Dao itself. Any simple Dao technique in his hands could transform into a powerful Supreme Dao technique. This was known to all, but that kick just now revealed another advantage of Jun Lingxiao's Physique.
His Physical Body.
His talent in his Physical Body was on par with his talent in Dao techniques. He possessed both a Sacred Body and an Innate Dao Embryo, and he had never neglected his Physical Body training.
Therefore, even with a significant gap in Realms, he still had absolute confidence if they were to compete solely on Physical Body strength.
Seeing his demeanor, Lan Xue suddenly smiled, a smile like blooming snowflakes.
"Alright, as you wish."
"When you beg for mercy later, make it loud." Lan Xue's words were full of confidence and arrogance, not at all thinking she would lose.
As her voice faded, she took a step, and the next moment, she appeared before Jun Lingxiao. The True Dragon Clan members could still somewhat see clearly, but some of the Jun Family's lower-Cultivation Disciples couldn't even tell what had happened.
They only heard a sudden 'boom' from where Jun Lingxiao stood! Cracks, dense as a spiderweb, instantly spread out from Jun Lingxiao's center! It was as if it had endured a full-force blow from some primeval beast.
When the dust settled, everyone finally saw the two figures maintaining their posture inside.
Jun Lingxiao stood still, blocking Lan Xue's punch with his right elbow. Lan Xue's eyes were full of surprise; she seemed utterly bewildered as to why Jun Lingxiao could block her attack, causing her to freeze for a moment without any follow-up actions.
"Warm-up's over, isn't it?"
Jun Lingxiao suddenly asked, then used force with his elbow to send Lan Xue flying. He watched her with an unchanging expression: "My Physique is special. If you don't want to lose too badly, you'd best not hold back."
The two returned to their original positions. Lan Xue lowered her head, and this time, the change in atmosphere was palpable. The oppressive air even made it difficult to breathe..
Then, suddenly, that aura vanished. Lan Xue excitedly raised her head, no longer able to suppress the Battle Intent in her eyes.
"You too!"
Then, the two collided with even greater speed, so fast that only blurs could be seen!
"It's over, our princess has begun. She's a battle maniac, and she should have no opponent below the Saint Realm. Your Divine Son is still injured, he's going to be in trouble."
At some point, the situation where the Jun Family and the True Dragon Clan were originally divided into two camps had changed. As the two fought, they even stood together.
This True Dragon Clan Disciple stated directly.
And this drew discontent from the Jun Family members.
"That's not necessarily true. Although our Your Highness's Realm is not as high as your princess's, our Your Highness is very strong! And he learns very quickly. Perhaps at first, he might gain an advantage in a move or two, but later on, your princess will definitely be thrashed!"
"Bullshit, with such a huge difference in Realms, anything you say is nonsense."
"Ah? When did Realm become the standard for measuring a person's strength?"
"Isn't it?"
"No. Our Divine Son has rarely fought against people of the same Realm. He has always faced people who are several times older and of higher Realm than him."
More and more people began to join the discussion. These members of the True Dragon Clan did not think highly of Jun Lingxiao, not saying he wasn't strong, but that the Realm gap was simply too large. How could he fight?
But gradually, the discussions faded as they watched the ground crack countless times and the two figures, now almost just afterimages, became lost in thought.
Why hadn't Jun Lingxiao lost yet?
"Little Princess, don't hide it anymore. Show them your full strength."
Some onlookers from the True Dragon Clan began to shout.
But this scene was quite laughable in Lord Dragon's eyes; he even genuinely burst out laughing.
"Haha, it seems our clan's Disciples have indeed been too comfortable for too long; they can't even see the current situation."
The younger generation all thought Lan Xue hadn't used her full strength, as she was known for her ferocity within the clan! Meanwhile, the elder onlookers had long been watching the scene with serious expressions, their faces even growing more complex.
"Is she very strong?"
Jun Siyu pursed her lips. Although she cared about Lan Xue's words just now, this wasn't their first meeting. It was just that before, she had never paid attention to this little one, nor had she ever spoken a word to her.
She never expected the first words Lan Xue said to her would be an insult. What a bad woman.
"Strong?" Lord Dragon looked down at her, then fell into thought, as if trying to find a more appropriate phrasing.
"Let me put it this way: here, including the True Dragon Clan, all Disciples under two hundred years of Cultivation combined could be defeated by her with one hand, effortlessly."
"My daughter has great talent and is very diligent, very, very strong. But unfortunately, Jun Lingxiao is even stronger than her."
"If she had used her full strength from the start, she might have had a chance, but now... there's no chance anymore."
After saying this, Lord Dragon shook his head and remained silent, merely smiling at the scene, his meaning self-evident.
He rather hoped to curb this girl's temper, to let her know the truth that there are always people beyond people and heavens beyond heavens.
And indeed, Lan Xue on the field grew increasingly excited, yet also increasingly frustrated, as the battle progressed.
At first, she thought they would have a fair fight. Since he was injured, she would only use five-tenths of her strength, which was fair enough.
But gradually, she felt something was wrong. Jun Lingxiao was too strong, too fast, and his combat skills even far surpassed hers.
What seemed like a heavy blow actually had little force, but what seemed like a soft punch contained immense power. And both her feints and real moves were seen through, meaning she had to use full strength for every attack and defense.
Realizing this made it almost unimaginable how many battles the opponent must have experienced to develop such combat intuition.
What was even more unimaginable was that even though she was using eighty percent of her strength, the Jun Lingxiao opposite her could still face her with ease? Even seemingly using her to practice???
Later, when she used ten-tenths of her strength and still couldn't take down Jun Lingxiao, she finally had an awakening.
'Ah, I seem to have been subconsciously underestimating him all this time. But why would I have such emotions, just because he's a delicate Human Race?'
'But, it feels so good...'
This was the first time Lan Xue felt pleasure from battle. It was the powerlessness of giving her all yet still being helpless, and the illusion that she was just a little bit away from defeating him. The repeated alternation of these two torments unexpectedly gave her a thrill she had never experienced before.
She now had an impulse, an extremely strong impulse.
Defeat him, obtain him, destroy him!
The bloodlust in her bones was ignited, and once this thought emerged, it became unstoppable.
So, after another collision, Lan Xue used the momentum to leap backward. As her expression miraculously returned to calm, her golden vertical Dragon eyes gradually brightened, becoming increasingly majestic and terrifying.
"Not good!"
The True Dragon Clan members, seeing this, subconsciously thought 'not good' and then began to retreat, clearly knowing what would happen next.
Dragons are not Human Race; they have no Domain, nor do they have Dharma Idols. They are the darlings of heaven and earth, Cultivating another, even more wondrous thing... Just as some were wondering, a whisper suddenly came from high in the sky, like the voice of heaven and earth, ethereal and dreamlike, posing a question.
"Are you Human?"
Everyone was bewildered by this situation, but only Lan Xue looked up.
The golden light in her eyes intensified, and her entire being became more sacred and noble. At this moment, even Heaven itself looked upon her, a true darling of Heaven.
Lan Xue gazed at Jun Lingxiao with confidence, responding with an arrogant and ethereal voice.
"No."
"I am a Dragon, the one and only True Dragon in the world!"
As her words concluded, the next moment, with the end of her declaration, a golden light descended from the sky, raising plumes of dust upon impact.
Before the dust had settled, through the shimmering golden light, a massive and majestic figure could already be seen!
The Dragon Clan are the darlings of heaven and earth; every word they utter inherently possesses power. The True Dragon Clan, in particular, are the most noble among them. They do not need to borrow power from anyone, nor do they need to pray to anyone; they themselves are symbols of power, and naturally, they do not need superficial things like Domains or Dharma Idols.
They only need to declare to heaven and earth, and their true form can descend, sweeping away all enemies!!
Upon seeing this, Jun Lingxiao decisively summoned his Domain, intending to contend with it, but his Domain had only half-emerged, not yet fully descended, when the next moment... *crack*!
A massive golden Dragon claw struck, directly smashing Jun Lingxiao's Domain. Then, another Dragon claw emerged, pressing him firmly to the ground, and a Dragon tail followed, directly sweeping away his unformed Dharma Idol!
In an instant! In just an instant, Jun Lingxiao's Domain and Dharma Idol were shattered before they even fully appeared! Unimaginably powerful!
He himself was pressed tightly to the ground. Looking up, he saw Lan Xue's eyes, crazed and intensely passionate, yet desperately suppressed.
"Surrender!"
The enormous Dragon head leaned close to Jun Lingxiao's face, hot Dragon breath exhaling onto his face, speaking with an undeniable, commanding tone.
