The Ancient Martial Arts Conference gradually came to a close, and the top ten spots were finally decided. Nobody could quite figure out what stroke of luck Ye Kong had encountered, but on the third day, he had broken through to the Half-Step Primordial Realm and secured a place among the top ten.
As for the others, they were mostly young prodigies from the Guardian Shrines. Surprisingly, only a single participant from the Hidden Clans managed to enter the top ten…
If Xiao Yufan had learned that this sole representative from the Hidden Clans was actually someone from the secretive Wang family, who knows what expression he would have worn—most likely one of shock so extreme his jaw would drop!
As for that mysterious location, Ning, the Hall Master of the Eastern Holy Shrine, had not revealed its specific details. However, ten days from now, this group would embark on their journey—destination, that very mysterious place.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yufan, who had lain unconscious for several days, finally showed signs of stirring…
Roar!
A phantom dragon slowly appeared above Xiao Yufan’s body, coiling and swirling. Threads of golden light gradually seeped into his skin. Amidst a deep, resonant sound, the low dragon roar echoed in the ears of the four young women.
Suspended within the ethereal dragon shadow, Xiao Yufan’s body began to rise mysteriously into the air. It floated upward until reaching about a meter above the ground, where it finally came to a halt.
The deep, rumbling sound continued for an unknown length of time before a vast, overwhelming aura slowly spread outward. Under the shockwave of this energy, the glass on the windows developed massive cracks.
The golden glow gradually dissipated, revealing Xiao Yufan’s original form. Soon after, his previously unconscious mind began to slowly awaken.
Mmm!
A sound of comfort escaped his lips as Xiao Yufan suddenly opened his eyes. Overwhelming joy quickly spread across his face. At this moment, he had broken through—shattering the calm of the Half-Step Primordial Realm. In an instant, his strength had undergone a qualitative leap.
The Primordial Realm! In just a few short days, his power had leaped again—from the Half-Step Primordial to the full Primordial Realm. He even felt a bit grateful toward those old bastards from the Hidden Guo family, who had unknowingly granted him two great opportunities. If not for this injury, it might have taken him several more months to reach the Primordial Realm…
The four women first experienced a brief moment of stunned silence before slowly recovering from their shock. None of them had ever witnessed a scene like this before. At this moment, Xiao Yufan seemed to realize something and slowly descended back to the ground.
But soon after, Xiao Yufan noticed a serious problem—damn it, could his clothes at least survive the next breakthrough?
Pu Xian’er was somewhat used to this, after all, it wasn’t the first time she had witnessed such an awkward situation. However, Hu Yingluo and the two other girls from Tianxuan blushed slightly. Dongfang Yanran was bolder—though a bit shy, she still shot Xiao Yufan a seductive glance filled with charm.
In an instant, Xiao Yufan felt his blood surge. If not for the awkwardness of the situation, he might have taken Yanran right there and then.
Luckily, Xiao Yufan had the foresight to quickly change into a clean, neat set of clothes. However, the way the four women looked at him still felt somewhat strange—not because of the awkward moment just now, but because of that phantom dragon shadow.
Xiao Yufan could only cough dryly, pretending as if nothing had happened. It was probably better not to explain the existence of the Dragon-Taming True Manual. Even if he tried, he wouldn’t know where to begin.
When Xiao Yufan learned he had been unconscious for nearly five days, he was somewhat surprised. But thinking back, he had already accomplished what he needed to at the martial arts conference—not only fulfilling Hong Zhong’s request but also delivering a resounding slap to the Hidden Guo family.
What came next was an exploration of that mysterious location mentioned by Ning, the Hall Master of the Eastern Holy Shrine. He couldn’t help but wonder what kind of secret could be so enticing that even the Guardian Shrines would eagerly pursue it…
