"Tian Ming definitely does not dare to doubt. He simply cannot comprehend it." He was actually boiling inside. Losing to Wu Yu was a great humiliation, especially since he had taunted Wu Hao and the others before. His face was now burning from shame.
"If you can't comprehend it, the final battle will let you experience it yourself," the Sky Will Dragon King said.
This was a reminder to Tian Ming that the ranking was decided, and already in the past.
Therefore, even if he could not accept the current results, the final battle would show all. When Wu Yu fought inside, the Eye of the Dragon Emperor had completely ignored him. But now that they were outside, every individual's eyes were trained onto him.
Tian Ming understood.
After all, the Dragon Emperor's Trial had not ended yet. Next would be the battles that decided the first, second, third, and fourth places. That was key.
In the Dragon Emperor's Purgatory, as long as one entered the top four, then there was no real difference besides the order of the battles.
"There will be five days to rest. In five days’ time, the battle will take place here. Amongst these youths, who will end up as the final champion? Everyone, please watch on."
After all, the Dragon Emperor Purgatory's most intense climax had yet to begin.
Hearing this, the competitors could leave the Dragon Emperor's Supreme Battlefield now and return to their own dragon kings.
Before he returned, Lin Xiaoting fixed Wu Yu with a sinister stare and spewed venomous words. "Wu Yu, although I have no idea how you bumbled your way to this place, in five days' time, I will be the first to expose you as the fraud you really are!"
He was fourth, and Wu Yu first. He would be Wu Yu's first opponent.
"I'm really envious that you can fight useless crap like him and easily enter the finals. Which means you are at least in second place. As for me, I'm up against Tian Ming, that sickening thing. I can only get third place at most! If I knew that earlier, I would have given way to you so that I could be fourth," Tian Zi wailed.
The gap in prizes between second and third was huge. Therefore, the most glum person was not just Yin Wu and Tian Ming, but rather her, Tian Zi. Actually, she was confident in beating Lin Xiaoting, but now she could only get third place. That was too disheartening.
Even the amount of time she would get to cultivate in the Tower of Dragon's Dawn was 2,000 years less!
Lin Xiaoting smirked. "Sometimes, luck is also a part of one's strength."
"You got a sweet deal and are still acting modest? I'll beat you up," Tian Zi said coyly.
They returned to the Sky Will Empire, the Sky Chariot Empire, and the Sky Shadow Empire. The Tian Ming Dragon Lord's eyes were murderous, and they frequently flicked over to Wu Yu in a warning glare. And then he returned to the Sky Will Empire.
But Wu Yu had to get the Floating Dreams Sword.
Dragon lord or otherwise, Wu Yu would definitely go all out in the finals.
In such a place, Wu Yu did not dare to take out the white dragon scale and examine it. He was afraid that others would see it. He would wait until he might be able to get the Floating Dreams Sword.
Of course, the being had also posed a difficult challenge for Wu Yu. Because his opponents were all very strong, it would not be easy to get the Floating Dreams Sword.
Wu Yu returned to the Primordial Immortal Empire amidst a crowd of shocked and envious people, back to where Wu Jun and the others were. They were already waiting for him.
Wu Yu returned with Ye Xuanyi and the other two behind him. They hung their heads as they returned to their parents, who were also looking glum and sour. Besides them, the other Primordial Immortal Empire mystical dragons were all overjoyed.
Wu Jun said, "Since you've already said it, then we will not keep you. You can pack your things and go to the Sky Chariot Empire immediately. Of course, if you want to watch the finals, you may do so also."
Wu Hao smiled. "After being with you three for so many years, we are all old friends. I'm so happy for all three of you. After all, the Sky Chariot Empire is more than five times stronger than the Primordial Immortal Empire, and you three will definitely rise like ships on the high waters. Your statuses have naturally also increased, so you can snub us or ignore us. Please don't forget us when you are rich and famous. Haha."
Those people would definitely have to take responsibility for their decision.
And all of this was because of Wu Yu. Wu Yu had become the Primordial Immortal Empire's hero.
Wu Hao, Wu Jun, Ye Qianning, and Luo Pin were all waiting for his return. All of the Primordial Immortal Empire’s mystical dragons were cheering for him.
For example, the Immortal Radiance Dragon Monarch. He now understood why Wu Hao and his wife liked Wu Yu so much. He was a miraculous talent!
"Congratulations to you, Wu Yu," Wu Jun said.
"Your performance was outstanding. Superb. Today, we can stand tall because of you, and continue to hold our heads high!" Wu Hao exclaimed.
Everyone knew why Wu Yu had performed as he did.
It was all to save their pride. If not for the Sky Chariot Dragon King's excessive bullying, he would not be feeling such a strong feeling of redemption right now.
"I have to thank Uncle Jun for giving me this chance."
Wu Jun asked in a hushed voice, "Did you achieve your purpose for going in?"
Wu Yu nodded. "Although there were some rocky times, it was more or less achieved. But now, I have to obtain the Floating Dreams Sword."
"What?" Wu Jun and the others looked at each other.
Wu Hao said, "The Floating Dreams Sword can only be obtained if you defeat Lin Xiaoting and Tian Ming head-on. How can you…. They have been humiliated, and will definitely not show any mercy. Since your goal is already accomplished, you don't need to take this risk, right…."
Ye Qianning said, "Wu Yu, it is not that your Uncle Hao doesn't want you to participate. Firstly, the three of them are truly very strong. Secondly, besides the Floating Dreams Sword, the Tower of Dragon's Dawn is the real prize. But the Tower of Dragon's Dawn will not allow non-mystical dragons to enter. Which means that even if you get first place, you will be unable to enter the Tower of Dragon's Dawn...."
They were very worried, because they did not know what Wu Yu's capabilities were.
"Don't panic. Let's hear Wu Yu out," Wu Jun said.
Luo Pin also agreed. "Wu Yu definitely is prepared."
Wu Yu said, "Indeed, I have some confidence. Now that I have made some transformations, I can indeed stand toe to toe with them. Please do not worry. It is possible that I can't beat them, but they can't possibly hurt me either. I have a fairly speedy escape mystique. As for the Tower of Dragon's Dawn, I don't really mind. I really just want the Floating Dreams Sword. The Floating Dreams Sword is more important to me."
"Does it have something to do with the being in the Dragon Emperor's Purgatory?" Wu Jun guessed.
Wu Yu nodded. He quite trusted these three seniors.
"Alright, do your best, then. Show us how far you can go," Wu Jun said.
Wu Hao and Ye Qianning looked at each other, then he said, "Actually, we were humiliated quite badly this time round. But you won our pride back for us. You don't need to bear our shame now. Focus on your own battle, and it will be enough. After all, we seniors just want you to come back whole. That's the most important thing for us."
Wu Yu nodded and smiled. "Please don't be worried, everyone. The hardest part is already over. Just watch me next."
"I believe in this kid. He's already worked a miracle. What's so hard about working another?" Wu Hao guffawed, clapping Wu Yu on the shoulder. He was as satisfied as could be with this son-in-law.
Wu Yu returned to Luo Pin's side.
"Just like before. Full of will and the hot blood of youth." In the world of mystical dragons, Luo Pin followed him, changing into human form. If not for all the people around, she would already have hugged him.
Wu Yu leaned against her and said softly, "There are too many immortals in the sky palaces. This 'hidden backer' deterrence will probably be effective for a while more. Since your parents are protecting me here, I definitely have to help them vent their anger as well. Oh, right, I obtained a white dragon scale in Dragon Emperor's Purgatory. When this is over, let's go back and examine it."
"Why do you need the Floating Dreams Sword?" Luo Pin asked.
"Because that person said that the Floating Dreams Sword is the key to activating this white dragon scale."
"I see. Acquit yourself well, then. You devoured a lot inside. Is your mental state stable?"
Wu Yu nodded. "I'm already at the limit. Even looking at you now, I can hardly control myself. I want to procreate and make some babies with you. I really do," Wu Yu said, his eyes gleaming.
He indeed wanted to, but with all these elders around, and the others all preparing for their fight, he could not very well drag Luo Pin off to do it.
Luo Pin blushed. "Stop teasing me, I'm too young."
Wu Yu teased her, "Don't act young. You were an old cow grazing on the young grass in the mortal domain. I'm the young one."
"We're both young. Stop thinking about these things all day. Perform well. In reality." Luo Pin knocked his head.
"Is there a reward if I perform well?"
"That depends on how well you perform...."
"You mean, there's a chance?"
"No chance."
"How can I get a chance?"
"I want a grand wedding."
"Is this the heart of a young girl?"
"I am a young girl."
"......"
Things had been tense in the Dragon Emperor's Purgatory. He was now relaxing by her side. He had five days, and the after-effects of the devouring were already half-gone. Wu Yu was much more alert compared to when he had just come out.
He was already well prepared for the final battle.
Over at the other side, the men and women of the Sky Will Empire, the Sky Shadow Empire, and the Sky Chariot Empire were gathered together.
The Sky Will Dragon King, the Sky Shadow Dragon Queen, and the Sky Chariot Dragon King were all present.
"What on earth happened? How could that Wu Yu...." Tian Ming was still in disbelief.
The Sky Shadow Dragon Queen said, "Firstly, Wu Yu has a mystique that produces many clones. He could find Dragon Emperor's Prisons many times faster than you all. Also, he has some hidden ability. Perhaps his true strength at the start was roughly at 9-xuan immortal level."
Tian Ming's face blackened. "No wonder. I used the City of 10,000 Swords and Dragons to trap him before, but he escaped."
Tian Zi was dismayed. "Even if this person ie a 9-xuan immortal, how could he hide his strength from you all?"
