Bai Mingchuan himself had two dragon horns growing on his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In many people's hearts, they were still viewed as an alien race and considered a slave army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He is too much of a genius;

Zhao Xing was currently only Lower Fifth Rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being promoted directly to an Upper Fourth Rank official position was simply a leap in status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The second round is about to start, hurry and take your place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood!\" Long Xiao cupped his fists and ran out excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Passing through the channel into the Second Heaven, Zhao Xing arrived at a grassland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He checked the time, then immediately rested to recover his vital energy while recalling the rules of the second round.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Second round, Dragon's Protection.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the Second Heaven, there are one hundred thousand half-dragon people and sub-dragon species.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They guard the entrance to the Third Heaven;

they could be described in eight words: swarm up, scatter in a rush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For experts, passing this kind of level was not difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The difference was just a matter of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, time also determined the acquisition of points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Two and a half days have passed now;

the leading soldier was carrying a large golden sword, and many swords were flying around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blood energy battle formation, a seventh-level blood energy battle formation, blocked all his paths; he could only force his way through!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after trying three times, Xuan Feng found he couldn't get through!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because these three thousand Azure Dragon Army soldiers, although they were all only fifth-rank, the leading general was a sword cultivator!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three thousand fifth-rank soldiers, all led by him, formed a seventh-level blood energy battle formation that was simply like a natural chasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Three attempts, and all three times I couldn't get past that sword cultivator; instead, I got injured myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Feng understood that this last level was not something he could pass alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The main thing is that sword cultivator; his control over the battle formation has reached the seventh level, and his own strength is also powerful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Feng understood where the test of the second round lay: it was teamwork.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Great Zhou sent people into the Ancient Dragon Court, and there were no rules once inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And those who could get a spot came from different forces; the imperial court naturally hoped that they would discard their selfishness and work together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The previous twenty-nine dragon cities were just to let people see the types of enemies and understand them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The last city is so difficult to pass to let the participants understand that cooperation leads to mutual success.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Feng stopped struggling, quietly recovering from his injuries, and waited for the contestants behind to arrive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Feng waited for a while, and not long after, Lei Ling and Leng Yue also arrived before the last city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They glanced at Xuan Feng and then launched an attack to clear the level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they didn't even last three seconds before they were defeated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both humans and beasts were injured, landing outside the city to heal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time ticked away second by second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More and more people arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the top thirty from the previous round had almost all arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the organization of Xuan Feng, Lei Ling, and Leng Yue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The top thirty launched an attack together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time they lasted a little longer, and it took a stick of incense time before they were defeated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Xiao stood on the city wall, not even looking at the team healing in the distance, just gazing into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Assistant Regional Commander beside him, the commander of the Azure Dragon Army, who was also Long Xiao's brother-in-law, 'Bai Yang', asked in a low voice: \"Brother-in-law, did you go too hard?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did I?\" Long Xiao asked. \"I don't think so.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't think so?\" Bai Yang transmitted his voice: \"Brother-in-law, you even used the Divine Firmament Sword Technique;

Are you teaching me how to do things, eh? Do you want to practice?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, no.\" Bai Yang shook his head repeatedly. Just kidding, he first met Long Xiao because he couldn't beat him, so he called his sister to help, but his sister couldn't beat him either and ended up losing herself to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eight years ago, his sister could still exchange a few moves with Long Xiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Bai Feng couldn't beat him at all and could only rely on throwing tantrums to force Long Xiao to bow his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go tell the brothers to perk up and don't let anyone through!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\" Bai Yang retreated obediently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Xiao continued to look at the distant city, muttering in his heart: \"Little brother, why haven't you come yet?
