The Three Dragons' Contest for the Crown Ends Early, a Puppet Crown Prince Is Born

Wearing a hood that concealed his face, Yuanqing hurried back to the residential area where he was housed.

This area is inhabited primarily by Sea Race who possess Dragon Spirit Species Royal Family.

Among them are quite a few pure-blooded Dragon Spirit Species.

A bloodline cannot possibly be sustained by only two or three descendants.

However, those who can live in the Dragon Palace are all official members recognized by the Dragon Spirit Species Royal Family.

As for those from collateral branches, children born out of wedlock, or of mixed race, they are not qualified to enter the Dragon Palace.

They have no right of inheritance.

At the same time, to ensure that these Dragon Spirit Species bloodlines are not exploited by those with ulterior motives, they will be under constant surveillance.

Yuanqing also possesses the bloodline of the Dragon Spirit Species; otherwise, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to ingratiate himself with the Third Prince Faction.

However, a series of poor decisions in Mao City led to his marginalization.

He was even kicked out later.

Having lost his value, Yuanqing would not be given any free meals by the Third Prince Faction.

So he was sent back to this residential area.

This is a cage where one has no worries about food and drink, but finds it difficult to realize one's self-worth.

He was unwilling to accept being trapped there, accomplishing nothing.

That's why he sneaked out today while everyone else was out celebrating.

Go to the vicinity of the Dragon Palace to find Jiang Ning and ask him if he still has a chance.

As for the result, it goes without saying.

He told him to go back to where he came from.

He returned to the residential area somewhat dazed, and almost got spotted by the automatically patrolling streetlights along the way.

Fortunately, he was familiar enough with the streetlights in the area.

The royal family also intended to give those inside a chance to get some fresh air occasionally, so they fixed the patrol routes for the streetlights.

That's why he didn't expose his sneaking out.

However, Yuanqing was unaware that it was precisely because of his unwillingness to accept defeat that he attracted the predators who had been lying in wait for days.

The White Owl's unparalleled observational skills allowed it to easily deduce the patrol pattern of the streetlights based on their movements.

The stringent security measures here are designed to protect against external threats.

Therefore, with an insider to "guide" you, breaking through would be quite easy.

Arakawa Jiushu awaited the right opportunity.

A moment later, the White Owl spread its wings and silently entered the residential area at the same pace as Yuanqing.

And so the hunt began.

Arakawa Jiushu remembered smelling the scent of the Dragon Spirit Species Royal Family bloodline when he met the Third Prince.

Therefore, he easily found members in the residential area who had a high concentration of royal blood.

Many of them are even descendants of royal family members and ordinary Dragon Spirit Species.

They were essentially no different from the three princes, possessing the same dark, translucent dragon horns.

However, due to his status, he had no right to inherit.

Arakawa Jiushu needs is not the identity of the Dragon Spirit Species Royal Family.

What he needed was the heart of the Dragon Spirit Species, a race he had never eaten before.

The purer his bloodline, the more beneficial it will be to his cultivation.

This is why he is obsessed with swallowing hearts.

Of course, he doesn't deny that he enjoys the tactile sensation of ripping out a fresh heart and the pained expression on his prey's face.

Enjoy the texture of the heart and the sweet taste of flesh.

Enjoy the surge of Psychic Energy after swallowing a heart.

Gazing at the carcass of its prey lying on the ground, the White Owl's eyes revealed an undisguised, frenzied hunting desire.

He knew he didn't have much time left.

Soon someone will follow the smell of blood and realize something is wrong; he needs to eat his fill in a short time.

A moment later, just as he finished swallowing another heart, the crimson velvet ball beside him suddenly began to vibrate.

Arakawa Jiushu stopped, picked up the small red ball, and connected to the communication with the Beastfolk.

"White Owl, friendly reminder, the Human Race submarine has reached the edge of the Profound Grand Canyon. That's all."

Communication was quickly cut off.

Arakawa Kyu's already expressionless face remained calm.

It's a foregone conclusion that the Human Race will intervene.

Moreover, the weapons on those submarines might even be the work of the Demon Race.

It's a pity, he originally wanted to kill a little longer.

Never mind, better safe than sorry.

The White Owl was so quiet, and like a feather swept away by an ocean current, it quietly departed.

Meanwhile, inside the lava pool of the Dragon King Hall.

Now, only a black dragon remains in the original spot.

Yuan Rong and Yuan Yuan have been transformed into nourishment and poured into the body of the Third Yuanli.

With no further voting required and only one heir remaining, the Crown Prince has already been chosen.

The Three Dragons Vie for the Crown Princes has come to an early end.

This method is simple and direct, yet effective enough.

This not only ensured the successor chosen by the Dragon King to ascend to the throne, but also silenced everyone else with the phrase "winner takes all."

If any malicious individuals were to exploit this incident, the Dragon King would then have an excuse to clear obstacles for his successor.

However, despite all the careful planning, they overlooked external factors.

Shisui remotely controlled his new puppet.

This puppet's soul is supported by [Survival in Desperate Situations], allowing it to act entirely autonomously.

He only needs to issue orders at certain times, or give [Survival in Desperate Situations] some Flesh Crystals.

The Sacrificial Formation slowly ended, and the newly transformed Yuanli easily picked up a pound of Volcanic Crystal Rock and swam towards the exit.

His speed was more than ten times faster than when he arrived, and the Psychic Energy emanating from his body was approaching that of the Heaven Realm.

In just three seconds, he burst out of the lava pool.

"Roar--!"

A powerful dragon roar suddenly rang out.

Immediately afterwards, the glass palace lantern captured images of Yuanli's fine dragon scales, which were covered in flowing lava.

Its blood-red vertical pupils swept across the Dragon King Hall, then slowly moved upwards to meet the gaze of the current Dragon King.

A long-lost gentle smile appeared in the Dragon King's eyes.

Yuanli quickly looked away, then bowed respectfully and handed over the Volcanic Crystal Rock.

"The trial is over. Third Prince Yuanli has completed the trial mission."

"The eldest prince Yuan Rong, and the second prince Yuan Yuan, were unable to withstand the intense heat of the lava and were critically injured. They have been transferred to the Imperial Medical Academy for treatment."

Yuan Shun reappeared and announced the results of the trial.

Of course, the specific details about the eldest and second princes cannot be revealed at this time.

They should die in the Imperial Medical Academy, not here.

After announcing the results, Yuan Shun said no more.

The Dragon King was looking down on everything from above, then spoke.

"The Third Prince Yuanli is skilled in both literature and martial arts, possessing both wisdom and courage. He closely resembles me and is sure to be able to inherit the throne, making him the best choice for Crown Prince."

"I hereby appoint the Third Yuanli, as the Crown Prince of the Sea Race. I hope you will shoulder the heavy responsibility of the ancestral temple, continue my grand plan, and safeguard the foundation of our Sea Race for thousands of generations."

"Your subject obeys the decree!"

The resounding dragon roar pierced through the projection, striking the very souls of all the Sea Race.

Cheers erupted among the Sea Race everywhere, and no one cared anymore about the whereabouts of the losers.

At this moment, the entire Sea Race was overjoyed by the birth of the Crown Prince.

But the next moment, "Boom--!"

A tremendous roar suddenly erupted from the upper levels of Chongming City!

All the Sea Race were stunned into a blank mind by the sudden explosion.

Shisui glanced at the layers of buildings above and then, without hesitation, vanished into the Alternate Space.

Only a large number of Radiant Feathers were left scattered.
