On the arena, golden light filled the air, and a sacred and majestic aura swept out in an overwhelming manner.
After Holy Light Particle Cannon, Caesar spread his wings, and countless rays of sunlight converged from the sky, blessing him and draping him in a golden coat. His dragon wings also grew to nearly twice their original size.
With a gentle flap, it transformed into an unpredictable golden light, moving at incredible speed. It was clearly the "wing form" of [Divine Judgment]. Its already terrifying speed, which appeared and disappeared unpredictably, increased even more. However, Caesar remembered Logo's pre-match instructions and did not reveal his spatial abilities.
Ultimately, Martial Arts Tournament is just a competition; it's not worth revealing too many of your trump cards for it.
In his winged form, Caesar instantly appeared before Damengsi, his dragon mouth slightly open, revealing sharp, dense, gleaming white teeth that resembled rows of white mountain peaks within his mouth. With each opening and closing, he exuded an extremely domineering and ferocious aura.
Damengsi felt a chill run down his spine. The oppressive aura emanating from this golden dragon was truly overwhelming. This was the first time he had encountered an opponent of this caliber.
What the prince didn't know was that Caesar had many other plans in place; otherwise, he would be in a much worse situation right now.
Amidst the golden light, the dragon head roared to the sky, its sonic waves rolling. A colossal hammer descended from the heavens, crashing down with a deafening roar, like a meteor falling to earth, its power astonishing to the extreme.
This is the hammer form of [Divine Judgment]. When it hits an enemy, it can immobilize and stun them, making it an extremely powerful control ability.
The golden hammer moved with incredible speed and was relentless, relentlessly pursuing Damengsi. No matter how he tried to dodge, he was enveloped by the massive golden hammer shadow and could not escape even for a moment.
Seeing this, his expression hardened, and he stopped dodging, opting instead to meet force with force.
With a swing of his greatsword, his imposing and magnificent aura swept outwards, illuminating the area around him in an orange-gold world.
Boom!!
A fierce wind howled, and the air currents were turbulent.
Even through the energy shield of the arena, the audience could feel the astonishing collisions and friction, and all of them stared intently at the scene.
The light suddenly dissipated, and the man and the dragon were sent flying to either side, both bearing obvious wounds. However, under the illumination of different colored golden light, they quickly disappeared.
"Hmph, trying to out-heal this Dragon King? Today I'll show you what an immortal Dragon King truly is." Caesar chuckled, flapping his dragon wings as he pounced once more.
During his brief flight, all his wounds had healed completely, as if he had never been injured at all.
In contrast, the marks left by the dragon's claws on Damengsi' chest were still clearly visible, blood was flowing uncontrollably, and his face was pale.
"Impossible..." Damengsi was shocked. He hadn't expected that this stupid dragon's healing ability was stronger than his own, and by a significant margin.
Distracting thoughts raced through my mind, only to be swiftly extinguished, and the battle continued.
Because Caesar held back many of his trump cards, he only had a slight advantage over Damengsi. The two fought fiercely, exchanging blows.
Thud! Thud! Thud!~~
The sounds of fierce collisions continued incessantly, and the golden light that filled the sky changed into various shapes from time to time, such as wings, giant hammers, or scythes, as all kinds of sharp Combat Skills were displayed.
After transforming into a different kind of True Dragon, Caesar didn't actually experience many battles, because there were only a handful of people who could be his opponents. But now, his battle with Damengsi was quite evenly matched, allowing Caesar to hone his Combat Skills and make up for his shortcomings by taking advantage of the prince's prowess.
Caesar's wisdom was undoubtedly great. As time went by, although his abilities remained the same and unchanged, the balance of power in the battle tilted faster and faster.
In the audience seats.
Crassus stared intently, his claws poking several holes in the ground, clearly very anxious about the outcome of the battle.
Logo, however, remained calm. With his Eye of Insight, he had already reviewed Damengsi ' abilities and knew that Damons was no match for Caesar in any aspect, even if the latter had suppressed some of his strength.
Boom!
Boom!
Caesar grew increasingly excited as he fought, losing himself in the battle and gradually becoming engrossed in it. He fully unleashed the warlike nature of the True Dragon Clan, and for a time, the entire arena was enveloped under his dragon wings, with only fading afterimages visible in the sky.
Faced with Caesar's relentless and brutal offensive, Damengsi underwent a dramatic transformation, from initial composure to now gnashing his teeth in fury.
But being weaker than others, what could they do but silently endure Caesar's torment?
"Awesome, exhilarating!" The dragon's roar shook the heavens, Caesar fought with increasing ecstasy, like an erupting volcano, unleashing the endless stream of fiery energy within him.
Unbeknownst to him, Damengsi ' resistance grew weaker and weaker. Finally, with a deafening roar, the prince was sent flying like a meteor, crashing heavily into the energy barrier. He slid down like a lump of mud and passed out.
"Huh? You're kidding? You're done already? This Dragon King hasn't had his fill of fighting yet." Caesar looked at the motionless Damengsi in the distance with dissatisfaction. He wasn't just showing off; he genuinely thought so.
Having finally come across such a whetstone, Caesar treated it like a fun toy.
Unfortunately, the toy broke after only a few uses; it became completely unresponsive and stopped working. His reaction to this was understandable.
However, the audience doesn't think so.
The biggest favorite to win the championship was completely crushed throughout the entire match; it was absolutely explosive.
After a moment of silence, a deafening cheer erupted.
The host Aziz, stepped onto the stage with a broad smile and loudly announced the winner of the High-Rank Transcendent stage Martial Arts Tournament. Subsequently, Caesar's name resounded throughout the heavens.
After the awards were presented, it was time for the contestants to speak.
Unlike Logo, who simply and formulaically uttered a couple of sentences, Caesar actually used his Holy Power to conjure a huge projection screen.
The screen rippled, eventually revealing the shapes of several mechs. These were all products of Ruibeite Company, standard mechs developed by Logo. They were different models with different focuses; some were good at assaults, while others were good at reconnaissance, firepower coverage, and so on.
Seeing the scene on the arena, the audience was quite puzzled, but Logo and Crassus understood Caesar's intention and covered their eyes in unison.
After they finished doing these things, Caesar's voice echoed.
This guy is actually selling mechs.
Are you still bothered by the inconvenience of wearing mecha? Our Thunderclap Mecha uses an automatic dressing system, so you can put it on and take it off with a thought, making it easy, convenient, and fast.
Are you still afraid of your mech's lack of firepower? Our Fire God mech is equipped with eight rapid-fire machine guns. The bullets use the most advanced material folding technology, which is not only lightweight but also saves space to the maximum extent, expanding your ammunition arsenal and allowing you to unleash your full potential without restraint.
You're still thinking about...
Today, these mechs aren't priced at 29,999, or 19,999, but only 9,999 for you to take home! Hurry and place your order now! Contact number...
A series of advertising slogans, so practiced they were almost painful to hear, were uttered from the mouth of this majestic and sacred golden dragon, and the scene fell into complete silence!
"Boss, this... is this what you ordered?" Crassus asked quietly.
"No!" Logo denied decisively, a hint of embarrassment creeping into his previously cold demeanor.
"That was Caesar's own idea. This guy is as unconventional as ever," Crassus muttered to himself.
If a man and a tiger reacted this way, one can only imagine how others reacted.
It was as if a thunderbolt had struck them, leaving everyone stunned and speechless.
The two hosts couldn't help but gape, staring blankly at Caesar, who was shaking his head and preparing to repeat the advertisement a second time, as if they were dreaming.
Who would advertise in such a serious setting?
Below the ring, Damengsi, who had just woken up, looked extremely pale.
The thought that he had been defeated by such a guy left him feeling like his heart was filled with a lump of poop, a bitter pill to swallow.
Caesar was thrown off the ring by a hand that seemed to appear out of nowhere.
If he is allowed to stay there, the Martial Arts Tournament, which has maintained its high standards for thousands of years, will likely be significantly lowered.
"Hehe, boss, my advertising campaign went pretty well, right? This is a surprise I prepared for you after racking my brains. What do you think? Do you like it?" Caesar asked expectantly after sitting down next to Logo.
Logo's lips twitched slightly, but he still nodded.
To be fair, Caesar's unexpected move did leave a very deep impression on the audience and those watching the game. If we disregard the publicity tactics and only consider the effect, it was quite good.
So, although a sense of shame still lingered in his heart, Logo still expressed his appreciation, which pleased Caesar for quite some time.
And so, the Martial Arts Tournament, which had lasted for more than ten days, came to an end.
Logo and Caesar won the championships in the middle and High-Rank Transcendent stages respectively, and instantly became the most popular figures in the Royal Court, with their reputation soaring.
Logo, in particular, was someone Caesar had publicly acknowledged at the clan gathering as his mount.
With each layer of accolades stacked upon the last, Logo has now become the number one among the younger generation of the Royal Court, enjoying unparalleled prominence.
White Wolf Castle.
When Logo stepped down from the Pegasus carriage, a charming smile that could be both playful and delightful came into view.
The young girl, carrying a silver spear on her back and with her long hair tied up, danced in the wind like a fluttering banner, her heroic spirit dazzling and radiant.
The genuine, bright smile made Logo slightly dazed, and even his usually calm heart was subtly stirred. He did not stop it, letting this unfamiliar feeling spread and take root in his heart.
"You're back?" Qiya tilted her head, her black hair drooping over her forehead and swaying gently, her crystal-clear eyes seeming to speak volumes.
"Well, this competition finally lived up to expectations." Logo smiled faintly.
Qiya walked naturally to Logo's side, patted the dust off his sleeve, and said with a beaming smile, "I watched your match. You're much stronger than I was back then. When I was your age, I couldn't have reached the level of High-Rank Transcendent fighter."
The two chatted as they entered the castle.
After a very lavish meal, Logo accompanied Qiya for a walk before returning to his room.
Now that the Martial Arts Tournament is over, it's time for him to break through to the High-Rank Transcendent and, incidentally, verify whether his prediction was correct.
In the room where the elements were extremely active, Logo sat alone cross-legged, beneath him an extremely complex and intricate magic array.
Having already reached the level of a high-level professional alchemist, breaking through to High-Rank Transcendent life rank was simply a natural progression for Logo.
As the vast energy was absorbed by the body, the Fire of Birth suddenly expanded and grew stronger, silently completing its transformation and sublimation.
At the same time, an even more intense change occurred in the void. In the instant that the level of life underwent a dramatic transformation, the Eye of Insight, which was closely connected to the origin of the soul, began to tremble wildly.
In the unknown dark space, a colossal eye containing Endless Starry Sky stretched out, its surface extending countless tentacles that pierced through the shackles of space and penetrated the depths of Logo's soul essence.
As one's life rank increases, the essence of one's soul also improves, and the growth rate of the Eye of Insight also accelerates.
The greatness of Miracle Creation lies in the fact that they contain a power that reaches directly to the rules of the Astral Realm, and even transcends those rules.
This incredible treasure is destined to be unable to possess autonomous intelligence, that is, emotions.
Therefore, all Miracle Creation, no matter how powerful, are merely inanimate objects.
The appearance of Logo broke this rule.
By sheer chance, he merged with the Eye of Insight.
In a sense, he became the "spirit" of this Miracle Creation.
In doing so, his very existence violates the rules governing the existence of Miracle Creation.
This is why Logo's humanity is constantly eroded, his emotions recede, and he becomes increasingly cold, with the Radiance of reason constantly suppressing his feelings.
If this continues, Logo will be completely melted by the Eye of Insight, becoming part of this Miracle Creation.
At that time, even if one was alive, it would be no different from being a walking corpse.
He absolutely would not allow himself to go that far.
Even if you are ultimately powerless to change things, there must be a struggle process.
That's why Logo suddenly started flirting with Qiya, even going so far as to use hypnosis to suggest to himself and force himself to develop feelings for her.
The purpose is to establish an emotional anchor so that he won't be completely devoured by the Eye of Insight during his life's progression.
"Now is the time to verify the results."
In the darkness and nothingness, a certain thought quietly flowed, and then, lines flashing with various colors of light suddenly emerged from somewhere.
If you touch these lines with your consciousness, some of Logo's memories will appear in your mind.
Or perhaps fight alongside Crassus.
Or perhaps joking and amusing with Caesar.
Alternatively, one could discuss clan affairs with the old count.
He taught Xisi how to conduct himself in society and how to handle affairs.
And finally, all the little moments he shared with Qiya.
Friendship, family, love...
Joy, anger, sorrow, happiness...
All of these things come together to form a chain anchoring one's emotions, preventing the great ship called the soul from losing itself in the turbulent darkness and nothingness.
