Who Else?
Earth Dragon Gate.
Inside the dungeon.
Yu Tianxin, covered in wounds, had already fallen into a coma.
Opposite him were two middle-aged men of average appearance but with a sinister air. Behind them were a pretty girl with pink hair and eyes, wearing a pink top, tight shorts, and a black trench coat and a burgundy knee-length skirt. She looked similar to the girl but more mature.
"Sect Master... this man has fainted again!" One of the two men, clearly prison guards fiddling with various instruments of torture, a middle-aged man standing closer, raised his hand to check Yu Tianxin's weak breath. He then turned to the beautiful woman and asked, "Should we forcibly wake him up?"
The beautiful woman rubbed her temples wearily.
I did not answer that question.
He just waved.
The two jailers looked at each other, but quickly understood and tactfully withdrew.
Only the young girl and the beautiful woman remained.
And Yu Tianxin, who was tortured to the point of fainting.
"Mom, do you really believe... what this madman said is true?" Recalling what Yu Tianxin had told her, the girl was both amused and exasperated. "He is Yu Tianxin, one of the twin stars of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan from ten thousand years ago, and the young man captured by the Sky Dragon Gate is Yu Tianheng, also one of the twin stars of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, who is also our Earth Dragon Gate's ancestor?"
"Whether you believe it or not isn't important, what's important is... the attitude of the Sky Dragon Gate!" Nan Shuishui, the leader of the Earth Dragon Gate, looked at her fearless daughter, feeling weary of her overly simplistic and straightforward thinking, "Qiuqiu, you must remember, if someone tries to deceive you with a lie, then that lie is definitely half true and half false, even 90% true, with only the crucial 10% being false... But if your reason tells you that the other party is lying, and they stubbornly cling to that lie, then there are only two possibilities: first, they are not cooperating; second, they are telling the truth!"
"But what does that prove?"
"Does it matter whether he cooperates or not?"
"Whether it's true or not, does it even matter?"
"No... Mom, you're not really planning to use this guy who claims to be the ancestor of the Sky Dragon Gate to swap back this guy who's supposedly the ancestor of our Earth Dragon Gate, are you? That's completely unnecessary!"
"Besides... let's assume, just assume: let's assume he really is the patriarch of the Sky Dragon Gate, and let's assume the person captured by the Sky Dragon Gate Sect is really our Earth Dragon Gate Sect's ancestor. But the founding ancestors of the Sky Dragon Gate and our Earth Dragon Gate Sky Dragon Gate Sect aren't either of them. The founding ancestor of the Earth Dragon Gate should be considered this guy's grandson, and the founding ancestor of our Earthly Dragon Sect should be considered Yu Tianheng's great-great-grandson. The Sky Dragon Gate and our Earth Dragon Gate have absolutely no relation to these two guys. There's really no need to bring in an ancestor to worship!"
Nan Qiuqiu, the Young Sect Master of the Earth Dragon Gate, also known as the girl in the pink dress with a hot figure, pink hair and pink eyes, said in confusion.
However, her mother, Nan Shuishui, as the current leader of the Earth Dragon Gate, thinks more deeply and has a more mature mindset.
Pointing to the unconscious Yu Tianxin.
His tone held both doubt and contemplation. "What I'm thinking about is very complex. To put it simply, the most pressing question is: if what he says is true, if everything is true, then the core issue that all the questions revolve around has been hidden by him—how was he able to come to this day, ten thousand years in the future? Has this world undergone any unknown changes?"
"Now that you mention it..." Nan Qiuqiu's expression was horrified as she extrapolated, "If he and Yu Tianheng really came to our era, what would happen to our ancestors of the Earth Dragon Gate and the Sky Dragon Gate...? They would die in unknown changes before they were even born?"
"Yes... If the Yu Tianheng in the hands of the Sky Dragon Gate is the real Yu Tianheng, and if he died here, Dugu Yan wouldn't have been able to give birth to the grandfather of our Earth Dragon Gate's ancestor. The same logic applies to the Sky Dragon Gate and this Yu Tianxin." Nan Shuishui was desperately trying to rebuild her worldview, but unfortunately, it was too shattered to be of any use. "Besides, there are many unsolved problems. For example: He clearly knows that he's in such a state that he can't possibly wait for reinforcements, yet he still insists on his bottom line and doesn't utter a word about that obviously obvious secret... What gives him the confidence to grit his teeth and keep quiet?"
Nan Qiuqiu gave up struggling immediately.
He adopted a lazy, indifferent attitude.
Using my brain is too painful.
He said self-deprecatingly in a nonchalant tone, "I only wanted to annoy those bastards from the Sky Dragon Gate, but I ended up rescuing a hot potato. As soon as I mentioned our purpose, he started playing dumb. Mom, how about we just hand him over to the Sky Dragon Gate Sect to deal with?"
"Then they killed Yu Tianheng..." Nan Shuishui glanced at her silly daughter. Although her daughter wasn't doing well now, she was certain that her daughter would develop very well in the future. Her brain was already showing signs of not accepting nutrition and continuing to develop, and her figure would definitely keep up. "Our Earth Dragon Gate Sect is going to be extinct, wiped out from our ancestors?"
Nan Qiuqiu shrugged.
I finally came up with a solution.
My mom rejected it again.
Whether it's useful or not, let's put it aside for now; we can't blame her for not putting in any effort.
As for these backstabbing and infighting...
Let Mom handle it all.
Nan Qiuqiu patted her bottom and prepared to get up and leave.
Before she could even reach the door, a figure rushed in at lightning speed from the dungeon entrance to the door of the Interrogation Room. Before the figure could even steady itself, a voice rang out. "Sect Master, there's a young man outside claiming to be the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family. He specifically requests to see you. The Second Elder dared not make a decision on his own, so he sent me to report to you!"
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family?" Nan Qiuqiu, whose face was starting to resemble the name but couldn't quite place it, subconsciously said, "It sounds both strange and familiar..." (This last part is a separate thought and doesn't directly relate to the previous sentence.)
Nan Shuishui's face instantly darkened.
We were just discussing Yu Tianxin's issue.
In the blink of an eye, you've forgotten about Yu Tianxin's background, haven't you?
What is the purpose of having a brain?
It's one thing to not be able to understand, but to have such a poor memory?
However, before Nan Shuishui could even speak, Yu Tianxin, who was gradually waking up, laughed heartily. He coughed as he laughed, vomiting up the water he had swallowed while being submerged. His laughter was still filled with glee, even arrogantly threatening Nan Shuishui, Nan Qiuqiu, and even the Earth Dragon Gate: "The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family is the family behind me and Tian Heng. Your Earth Dragon Gate dares to torture me? You're facing certain death without even realizing it... If I were you, I would respectfully escort you out now, and the entire sect would kneel and beg our clan leader for mercy. Considering your ignorance, you might survive if I don't care. Otherwise, even killing all of you unfilial descendants wouldn't atone for your crimes!"
"Ignorant and arrogant!" Nan Shuishui's face turned cold, and she angrily turned and left.
Nan Qiuqiu was also seething with anger.
All he ever talks about is kneeling and bowing.
The Earth Dragon Gate has indeed fallen on hard times, but even in its Earth Dragon Gate, it still has several Soul Douluo to uphold its reputation. It's not up to this madman calling himself "Yu Tianxin" to humiliate it, much less for someone claiming to be the "patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family" to ride on the coattails of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family from ten thousand years ago. "You claim to be one of the twin stars of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, and of course, that matches historical records. But if you really are Yu Tianxin, how could you not know who the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was?"
"Well Frog Cannot Speak of Sea, nor about ice with a summer insect." Yu Tianxin's laughter was full of disdain. "You bunch of fools who only know history, don't you know that history is just a toy for the victors to whitewash the truth? Many times, a momentary lapse in Destiny can cause earth-shattering changes to the final outcome. How could you, ten thousand years from now, possibly fathom the clan leader's abilities?"
Nan Qiuqiu has a bad temper to begin with.
Hearing Yu Tianxin belittle him like that, he was furious.
He slammed his hand on the table, laughing angrily, "Then I'd really like to see just how capable this so-called clan leader of yours really is!"
Having said that, he turned and left.
Inside the dungeon.
In an instant, only Yu Tianxin remained.
Yu Tianxin and adjusted her breathing.
He, one of the twins, knew the rules of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan all too well. The position of clan leader could only ever be held by the strongest member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Even though Ye Qingcang was Asura God Test Taker, the original clan leader, Yu Yuanzhen, could only give Ye Qingcang the position of "young clan leader" at most. This was the position that he and Yu Tianheng had always been fighting for. The fact that Ye Qingcang was able to become the clan's recognized new clan leader after visiting the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family could only mean one thing: Ye Qingcang had defeated Yu Yuanzhen!
Yu Yuanzhen is a level 95 Super Douluo.
His strength surpasses that of Bone Douluo.
Second only to Sword Douluo.
The Sky Dragon Gate Sect Master, whom he had never met, was said to be only a Title Douluo, while the Earth Dragon Gate Sect Master, Nan Shuishui, whom he had personally met, was not even a Title Douluo, but only a Soul Douluo.
So, what makes Earth Dragon Gate think they can win?
He has no idea how Ye Qingcang is going to lose, okay?
Adjust your breathing and calm your mind.
We should greet Ye Qingcang in good condition.
In Yu Tianxin's heart, it was more important than anything else.
Just as Yu Tianxin was adjusting her breathing, Nan Shuishui, along with Nan Qiuqiu and her group, met Ye Qingcang and his party in front of the Earth Dragon Gate. Her slightly scrutinizing gaze swept over Ye Lingling, Bai Chenxiang, and Sheng Cai'er before finally settling on Ye Qingcang: "You are... the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"
"That's right, I am Ye Qingcang, the current patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan." His calm tone was filled with unquestionable Path of Hegemony, just like Ye Qingcang's deep, dark eyes, which were unsettling. "I have come to visit the Earth Dragon Gate for two things. First, I hope the Earth Dragon Gate will hand over the members of my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family. Remember, I want them unharmed. Return Yu Tianxin Yu Tianxin as you took her away. Second, I hope the Earth Dragon Gate can rejoin the clan and become a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family again. If you are unwilling, then please stop claiming to be descendants of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan from now on."
"Is Clan Chief Ye joking?" Nan Shuishui sneered indifferently, retorting, "The founding ancestor of my Earth Dragon Gate was Yu Tianheng's great-grandson. I didn't pursue Clan Chief Ye's responsibility for usurping the name of my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, yet Clan Chief Ye is turning the tables and demanding that we no longer claim to be descendants of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan... Clan Chief Ye, tell me, isn't this demand ridiculous?"
"I hope to achieve a mutually satisfactory outcome through peaceful means, but I sadly discover that not everyone possesses the composure of the Silver Dragon King ... You understand fists better than attitudes." Ye Qingcang's body crackled with lightning. "For those who don't believe me, no matter what I say, they won't believe it; no matter what evidence I present, they won't admit it... In that case, Sect Leader Nan, if your Earth Dragon Gate still retains the traditions of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, then let's decide the Earth Dragon Gate's affiliation through a duel. If the Earth Dragon Gate doesn't retain this tradition, considering you won't listen to me, I can only reluctantly offer you a choice: kneel and live, stand and die; what does Sect Leader Nan think?"
"Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon?"
"Wait, this is... the complete form?"
"Can you achieve full Dragon Transformation?"
Looking at Ye Qingcang, who had completely Dragon Transformation.
Behind Nan Shuishui, several high-ranking members of the Earth Dragon Gate couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
The reason why the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul is known as the number one Beast Spirit in the world is its advantage, which is also the feature that sets it apart from ordinary Martial Soul: Dragon Transformation. After reaching Soul Power Level, each additional Soul Ring can complete the Dragon Transformation of a part of the body. However, this also increases the probability of Martial Soul Mutation. For example, Liu Erlong's Fire Dragon Spirit Martial Soul was originally a pure Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon when Liu Erlong first awakened her Martial Soul. Otherwise, she would not have been able to successfully Returning to Ancestral Clan. It was only during the later Dragon Transformation process that a large amount of pure Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon bloodline was drained, causing the fire dragon bloodline to take the lead. Therefore, it mutated into a fire dragon Fire Dragon Spirit, retaining the Dragon Transformation characteristics only in some organs, namely the dragon claws and dragon armor.
A titled Douluo has completed five Dragon Transformation.
At the same level, it can be called invincible.
As descendants of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, although this knowledge was no longer applicable due to the Martial Soul Mutation, Nan Shuishui and the others were not unaware of it. Looking at Ye Qingcang, whose dragon claws, wings, legs, horns, and armor had all Dragon Transformation forms, even Nan Shuishui, whose Martial Soul was the Rouge Dragon, possessed the rare annihilation attribute, and whose quality was no less than that of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, felt an unprecedented pressure. Along with this came disbelief. "You're a Title Douluo ... No, this isn't right! Each Dragon Transformation has a corresponding method, and these methods have long been lost. Even those pure-blooded guys from the Sky Dragon Gate only retained the method of squeezing bloodlines to complete the first or second Dragon Transformation. Five complete Dragon Transformation? How is this possible?"
A legacy that was invaluable even 10,000 years ago.
It's perfectly normal for some of these techniques to be lost after 10,000 years.
"I don't see the need for me to explain to you." Ye Qingcang silently clenched his fist. To him, Martial Soul were something he could create at will. Looking at the many Deity, each had their own methods. Martial Soul were just one path, not that there were no other paths besides this one. "Or, you can choose another method... defeat me and learn all the secrets from me."
"Then I won't be polite!" Eight Soul Ring leaped out from under Nan Shuishui's feet, but before Nan Shuishui could release her Soul Skill, she was forced to experience what it felt like to face Thunderclap Academy head-on from a first-person perspective.
A flash of lightning arrived first.
Then, a bolt of lightning shot into the sky.
Beneath the mountain gate, within the Dragon City.
I wonder how many people subconsciously looked up.
Looking at the clearly visible blue pillar of lightning in the distance.
The lightning bolt gradually disappeared after four or five seconds.
Ye Qingcang slowly released his hand, letting Nan Shuishui, who had been electrocuted and lost control of her bladder, lie sprawled on the ground like a salted fish, twitching occasionally.
Path of Hegemony gaze, a figure, and a voice.
It was deeply etched into the memories of everyone in the Earth Dragon Gate.
Even after thousands of years.
These same people will not forget. "Who else?"
