After the seven swords were passed, Garvey took the initiative to float back a few feet and stopped his offensive. He looked at Lin Qin who was slightly out of breath but his eyes were getting brighter. The admiration in his eyes almost overflowed. "Okay! Good! Good! You can take the Seven Absolute Swords that I use my full strength in my Dragon Blood Transformation state. "The stability of its defense, the speed of response, and the concentration of strength are far beyond the ordinary Six-Star Fiend. It is comparable to or even better than some people who have just entered the seven-star threshold. However," he changed the topic and his expression became solemn again, "Lin Qin, if you want to become an elder recognized by me, Azure Dragon Clan, this is not enough."

Garvey took a deep breath, the momentum of his whole body rose again, and the solid Azure Dragon long tail behind him slammed towards the ground!

"Boom!"

With a muffled sound, the entire huge Dragon-Patterned Battle Platform shook slightly, and everyone watching in the audience was shocked.

"The next move is called Wind Dragon Devour. It is a move that I combined four mysteries and used the power of Dragon Blood to activate it." Garvey slowly raised the long sword above his head, with the tip of the sword pointing at the sky.

Following his movements, invisible Wind Element elements crazily converged on the tip of his sword above the platform, making a roaring sound. In the blink of an eye, a giant dragon shadow composed entirely of highly compressed cyan airflow appeared on the sword. The squares condensed into shape, and the dragon body was ten feet long, with clear scales and claws. Although it had no flesh and blood, it exuded heart-stopping Destruction fluctuations. After the wind dragon's shadow took shape, it did not jump out immediately, but raised its head and made a long chant--

An insubstantial sound came out, but a strange wave that was invisible but penetrated the soul, with the wind dragon as the center, instantly swept across the entire battle platform! Many tribesmen fighting outside the battle platform, those with weaker strength, suddenly felt their minds swaying and trance, as if they heard a dragon roar from ancient times exploding deep in their souls! This is the prelude to a soul attack that incorporates the mysteries of "sound waves", aiming to shake the opponent's soul, making his reaction sluggish or even absent-minded.

Lin Qin, who was at the core of the fluctuation, had his vertical pupils shrink suddenly.

He clearly felt the double threat contained in this sword: it was four kinds of terrifying material attacks from Profound Mystery Fusion, but also nested with attacks on the soul. If he chose to attack the material forcefully, the soul would inevitably be damaged; if he was distracted from defending the soul, how could he withstand the extremely solid Wind Dragon Devour bite?

You can't do it forcefully, and you can't be distracted.

In a split second, Lin Qin made a decision.

He let go of his right hand, and Black Jade Heavy Blade inserted into the stone ground beside him with a clang, until it reached the handle. At the same time, he quickly formed an ancient and simple seal with his hands on his chest. This seal seemed to activate the most original power of the bloodline.

"Talent and magical power--Dragon Roar!"

Lin Qin opened his mouth, facing the phantom of the wind dragon that was ready to go, and let out a low Dragon Roar!

In the battle arena, Elder Garvey, who was the first to bear the brunt of the attack, felt even more intensely. He clearly "saw" the slight lag in the movement of his sword to induce the wind dragon to pounce; the energy condensation and pounce speed of the powerful wind dragon phantom were also insignificantly slower by half a beat! This half a beat may be insignificant in normal times, but in the life and death duel between top experts, it is a fatal flaw!

That's half a shot!

Lin Qin moved, so fast that it exceeded the visual capture limit of most spectators!

Gravity Domain was pushed to the extreme, but this time, the powerful gravity did not restrain the enemy, but was cleverly controlled by him. Most of it reacted on the ground under his feet and his own body! With a bang, the Dragon-Patterned Stone ground under his feet exploded. A shallow pit, and with the help of this reverse terrifying thrust, combined with Dragonblood Warrior's powerful physical explosive power, his body turned into a cyan afterimage that almost tore Sky Splitter apart. Instead of retreating, he rushed forward boldly against the approaching wind dragon phantom!

The distance of ten feet seemed not to exist. In an instant, Lin Qin had rushed five feet in front of Garvey, almost crashing into the huge mouth of the wind dragon!

The dragon claw of his right hand poked out, no longer relying on weapons, his five fingers spread out, and the khaki divine power gathered crazily on his fingertips,

Compressed and condensed, it turned into five khaki silk threads as thin as hair, but condensed to the extreme. These five threads vibrated at high speed and made a subtle buzzing. Inside each thread, "power", "Earth Pulsation", "Gravity Space" and "Earth Element" are the four terrifying powers behind Profound Mystery Fusion - this is a penetrating attack that highly condenses the power of Profound Mystery Fusion into one point!

"Broken!"

Lin Qin roared, and grabbed the phantom of the wind dragon that was so close with his five fingers!

Five khaki silk threads pierced the head of the wind dragon's shadow silently, like the most delicate probe, drilling straight in following the weak nodes and circulation gaps in the wind dragon's energy structure!

There was no earth-shattering energy explosion collision as expected, only a dense and slight "chichi" sound, as if red-hot iron wire was inserted into the ice and snow. The majestic ten-foot wind dragon phantom, starting from the head that was pierced by the earthy yellow silk thread, the internal structure was destroyed by the highly condensed Earth Element with strong vibration characteristics Fusion Profound Mystery quickly destroyed and disintegrated. The dragon's body twisted and trembled violently, and then like a burst bubble, it turned into countless out-of-control cyan light spots, collapsing and disappearing into the air.

Elder Garvey's expression suddenly changed! He didn't expect that Lin Qin not only affected the attack rhythm with his innate magical power, but also dared to take such a risk to get close, and broke his "Wind Dragon Devour" in such a clever and dangerous way!

The wind dragon was broken, and the backlash of the move made his energy and blood surge slightly, and his movements were even slower.

And Lin Qin's second wave of attacks is already following them like a shadow, coming one after another!

With the help of the momentum of breaking through the wind dragon, Lin Qin moved forward again! His right claw was not completely castrated, and although the khaki silk thread between his five fingers was slightly dimmed by the broken move, the dragon claw itself carried the huge power to tear everything apart, and had already penetrated the aftermath of the collapse of the energy. Before Garvey's long sword returned to defense, it was firmly pressed on the Tanzhong point on the chest covered by Garvey's powerful armor!

The fingertips did not penetrate, but the majestic power and sharp claw strength penetrated into the body, causing Garvey's body-protecting power to fluctuate violently, and his body became stiff.

If this was a life and death battle, even if this claw could not penetrate the heart immediately, it would be enough to seriously injure Garvey, causing it to lose most of its combat effectiveness in an instant.

Time seems to have stopped at this moment.

Outside the battle platform, there was silence. Everyone held their breath, eyes widened, watching the decisive scene in the center of the platform - Lin Qin's dragon claw pressed on the vital part of Elder Garvey!

One breath, two breaths.

The elder Garvey's tight body slowly relaxed, and the long sword in the Azure Light box in his hand hung down. He looked at Lin Qin who was close at hand, with Azure Light's bright eyes, and his face did not show the shame of being defeated by the junior. Instead, he showed a touch of relief and heartfelt gratification, and said calmly, "The younger generation is scary. I lost this battle."

Lin Qin Hearing this, the fierce fighting spirit in his eyes faded like a tide. He closed the dragon claws, relieved his strength, then slowly retracted his arms, took three steps back, Azure Light circulated around his body, and the shadows of the dragon scales, dragon horns, and dragon tails quickly faded, returning to the original handsome human appearance, but the breath undulated slightly, revealing that the series of explosions just now were not easy.

Elder Garvey also lifted Dragon Blood Transformation and restored the appearance of the old man with white eyebrows. He stroked his wrinkle-free chest and skirt, looked at Lin Qin with complex eyes. "Dragon Roar Divine Ability affects time and space, which is unparalleled. The perfect fusion of four mysteries, movement The best thing is your single-mindedness, strength and softness. What's more rare is your grasp of the fighter plane, your boldness and carefulness, your courage to take risks, and victory with one strike. Lin Qin, your strength has surpassed most of the elders in the family who barely stepped into the seven-star threshold with one or two kinds of Profound Mystery Fusion. You passed this battle."

He took out an object from his arms. It was a palm-sized token made of some kind of green sacred wood. It was warm and heavy in the hand. On the front of the token, the word "Elder" was engraved in a simple and strong font; on the back, at the top was the winding Azure Dragon family emblem, and at the bottom was the name "Lin Qin". There was also a line of small characters under the name, marked "the seventy-third".

"From today on, you are the seventy-third registered elder of the Azure Dragon Clan." Elder Garvey handed over the token with both hands and said in a solemn voice, "With this token, you can freely enter and exit most of the family's forbidden areas, consult the corresponding books, use the quota of family resources, and have the right to participate in Council of Elders proposes to express opinions and exercise voting rights on major family affairs. At the same time, you will also formally assume the responsibility of an elder. Internally, you need to protect the peace of the family and support future generations of talents; externally, you need to fight against powerful enemies and maintain the glory of the Four Divine Beasts Clan. Power and responsibility are integrated, you may remember?"

Lin Qin took the heavy Elder Token with both hands, feeling the family luck and responsibility contained in it, with a solemn expression, and bowed and saluted. "Lin Qin, please remember, thank you, elder, for your success."

"No need to thank me, this is the honor and responsibility you have earned with your own sword and strength." Elder Garvey took a step forward and patted Lin Qin's shoulder hard, his eyes full of expectations, "Go back and have a good rest. Become familiar with the authority of the elders. Three days later, the family will hold a formal Council of Elders meeting. At that time, you need to be conferred the position of elder in front of all the elders and enter the high position in the family tree. That is when you are truly justified and at the core of the family."

Lin Qin nodded in agreement. "Yes."

At this time, the hemispherical cyan barrier covering the battle platform slowly fluctuated and began to dissipate from top to bottom, and the eyes of the Azure Dragon statue on the nine stone pillars gradually extinguished.

As soon as the barrier opened, Baruch was the first to rush up. The bold patriarch was flushed with excitement. He hugged Lin Qin hard, patted his back vigorously, and said in a loud voice, " Good boy! What a great job! You really give our Yulan Continent branch a long face! I don't think anyone will dare to underestimate our branch in the future!" He smiled from ear to ear, with tears flashing faintly in his eyes, which was the feeling of elation after suppressing it for too long.

Hogson also walked quickly. He was not as outgoing as Baruch, but his clenched fists and slightly trembling beard showed his inner peace. When he came to Lin Qin, he clasped his fists with both hands and solemnly saluted. "Elder Lin Qin." This change of title represents complete recognition and respect.

Kano stood a little further away, looking at Lin Qin who was surrounded by everyone, and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something congratulatory, but after holding it in for a long time, his face turned red, and in the end he just gave a big thumbs up, without saying anything.

Lei Luo also walked over with a smile. His smile was still warm, but there was more real equality and attention in his eyes than before. "Congratulations, Elder Lin Qin. I knew that with your talent and character, you would catch up sooner or later, but I didn't expect that this day would come so quickly."

Lin Qin returned the favor to Hogson, looked helpless but heartwarming to Baruch's excited hug, nodded to Kano, and finally looked at Lei Luo, said calmly, "There is still a long way to go, and we still need to work hard." He still didn't say much, but compared to the cold and distant look in the past, his expression was obviously softer at this moment. Obviously, being recognized by the core of the family was not untouched for him.

As if the news had grown wings, it spread throughout the entire Azure Dragon Clan settlement at an alarming speed, and immediately swept through Azure Rock Valley where Baruch Branch was located.

The entire branch was boiling! Huge joy and pride impacted every clan member. Their clan member, Lin Qin, who was in the middle god realm, defeated the veteran elder Garvey head-on on Dragon-Patterned Battle Platform, and was promoted to the noble elder of the family in one fell swoop.! This is the highest honor that Baruch Branch has never received since it was moved from the Yulan Continent thousands of years ago and survived through hardships and hardships! This means that the status of their branch in the family will be significantly improved, and the resource quota and voice they can obtain will be different from the past.

That night, a simple but warm celebration banquet was held in Azure Rock Valley. There were no luxurious arrangements, but several bonfires were lit in the largest open space in the valley. The best wine stored in the branch was brought out, and the delicious hunted animal meat was roasted on the flames and the aroma was permeated. Almost all the branch members came, no matter men, women, old or young, their faces were filled with smiles from the heart.

Lin Qin became the absolute center. He was surrounded by everyone and received toasts one after another. Baruch,

Hogson took the lead, followed by the stewards of each room, young elite warriors, and even some half-year-old children who mustered up the courage to bring juice to their "Elder Lin Qin".Lin Qin is not good at, nor does he like this kind of noisy social scene, but tonight, he looked at the sincere and proud smiling faces, and looked at the vitality and hope of this once weak branch that he belonged to, and he did not refuse.

He just silently took every glass of wine, whether it was strong wine or sweet wine, and drank it down in one gulp. The firelight reflected his still calm profile, but the dancing flames and the joyful crowd reflected in his black eyes seemed to be tainted with a touch of warm smoke.

After half-drinking, Hogson pulled Lin Qin and explained in a low voice the many rules and matters that Council of Elders would discuss in three days. Baruch was chatting and laughing loudly with a few old brothers., telling the past events of the Yulan Continent, imagining the bright future of the branch. Kano drank a little too much, and pulled a few of his peers to imitate the famous claw move of Lin Qin on the stage today, which attracted bursts of applause.

The banquet lasted until late at night. When the crowd gradually dispersed and the bonfire gradually extinguished, Lin Qin returned to his simple stone house alone. The excited chatter of distant tribesmen could still be faintly heard outside the house. He closed the door and cut off the noise of the outside world.

There was silence in the room. He walked to the stone window, looked out at the deep night sky and the dots of stars, and rubbed the warm Greenwood Elder Token in his hand. The word "Elder" on the token appeared particularly clear in the dim light that filtered through the window lattice.

Seven-Star Fiend----Elder----

A year ago, he was still thinking hard about integrating the third mystery and forbearing for the living space of his branches. Now, he has stood at the core level of the family.
