Chapter 12: The Eight Heavenly Dragons
"You...... What are you talking about?!" Wang Lung suddenly stood up with a thud when he heard this, and looked at this old man who had always faced the world with an invincible attitude.
The dragon head chuckled, patted Wang Lung's shoulder to sit down, and said, "Why are you so excited? Who in the world can not die? Even if I am the dragon head, can I be spared?"
"I've never been afraid of death, but there are a lot of things I can't let go...... Alas, in the midst of all these events, I have been feeling more and more powerless lately, so that I can only hold on and do my best to maintain this false peace and prosperity. ”
Wang Lung hesitated: "In Dragon City, it has indeed been safe and sound in the past ten years, how can it be false?"
The dragon head smiled bitterly: "Many things, with your vision, you can't see, under this quiet peace, how many dark tides are surging, how many intrigues." The current Dragon City is turbulent with internal and external troubles, if I hadn't desperately sealed the dragon back then, which greatly reduced my skills, there might still be a glimmer of hope to stabilize the situation. But now...... I'm afraid this burden can only fall on your shoulders!"
Wang Lung was startled, pointed at himself and said, "Me?!"
"Naturally, it's you! You are the heir of my Wang family, the orthodox successor of the next dragon lord!
"But I ...... now Not to mention that I am still young, my cultivation is low, and in the eyes of many elders and patriarchs, I am a dangerous element that will explode at any time, it is difficult for them to admit that I am a member of Dragon City, how can they support me to be the next dragon leader?!" Wang Lung directly threw out his own questions.
The dragon head smiled and said, "It's naturally impossible now, so you have to make your own statement, prove your worth, and let everyone see your ability and your mind!"
"I'm sorry I don't have much time for you, a year, a year at most, you have to prove yourself, make everyone look at you, and trust you absolutely!"
"How to prove it?!"
The dragon head stood up and said in a deep voice: "I have decided to let you enter the Dragon Martial Arts, participate in martial arts training, improve your cultivation in the shortest possible time, and prove your worth and loyalty! Only in this way can there be a glimmer of hope!"
"Long Wu?!"
"That's right! It's the dangerous and severe Dragon Martial Arts! where you can be truly trained, improve yourself as quickly as possible, and meet my expectations of you!"
Wang Lung knew that in the Dragon City, there were four major departments, Long Yin, Long Wu, Dragon Tooth, and Dragon Zang, which were the core strength of the entire Dragon City, and the ministers of the four major departments were on a par with the patriarchs of the four major families, which was the so-called Eight Heavenly Dragons!
The four parts of the dragon city, with the dragon's teeth in front and the dragon hidden behind, the dragon martial in the light, and the dragon hidden in the dark language, explain their respective positions and status. The dragon's tooth is responsible for all security and military, and it is the most orthodox force in the dragon city; Longzang is responsible for collecting all the divine blades, elixirs, dragon techniques, dragon methods, and all kinds of secret treasures; while Longwu and Longyin, as the two major places for cultivating talents, are one bright and one dark, and anyone in Longwu can participate, and they are open, while Longyin is quite secret, and many people don't even know the existence of this organization.
Anyone can sign up to participate, receive extremely rigorous training, and perform all kinds of dangerous tasks; after the expiration of the period, the best will be selected to participate in the general martial arts, and the winners will have many benefits, and they can choose their future career path at will!
The positions in the Dragon City are divided into three levels: heaven, earth and man, even if ordinary people cultivate very deeply, it is difficult to reach the level of human dragon; the so-called human dragon, the dragon and phoenix among people are also, although it is the lowest of the three levels, but it is also a title that can only be obtained by elites.
And after the training of dragon martial arts, the person who can be recognized and win the final martial victory can get this title, which shows its difficulty.
"Yes, this is indeed the fastest and shortest path! I am willing to accept this challenge!" Wang Lung said firmly.
The dragon head smiled slightly, nodded, and began to walk towards the door, and suddenly turned around, took out a scroll from his arms and handed it to Wang Longdao: "This is my Wang family's family dragon technique and dragon body method, it should have been handed over to you a long time ago." ”
Wang Lung took it, looked at the back of the dragon head who opened the door and walked out, and said in a low voice: "Yes, thank you...... Dragon's head, father ......"
Wang Lung slowly walked towards Long Wu's training ground through the path of Dragon City, and the more and more remote terrain gradually lost many people, and became slowly quiet.
It wasn't until after arriving at the large open Dragon Martial Arts Field that I heard the sudden explosion of boiling human voices, as if there were hundreds of disciples training and cultivating in it, and the shouts were earth-shattering and resounding in the sky.
Wang Lung walked over slowly, and came to the man with a grim face at the front of the team, he knew that this person was one of the three major instructors under the Minister of Dragon Martial Arts, Zhang Tailai, a genius martial artist from the Zhang family!
"Hello Elder, I am Wang Long, a third-generation disciple of the Wang family, and I have come to participate in the training of Long Wu on the order of the dragon head!" Wang Lung said loudly without humility or arrogance.
That Zhang Tailai turned around, his cold expression remained unchanged, and he nodded lightly and said, "Oh, you are Wang Long, very good...... I heard that you are eighteen years old and have broken through the third dragon vein, right?"
"Yes, Elder. Wang Lung said to the would-be young elder.
"In this case, you can be included in the elite team, this team is led by me personally, Li Xinghe, Liu Chengyan, Jiang Xue! You guys come out for a while!" Zhang Tailai shouted, and three figures immediately rushed out of the team.
Wang Lung glanced at Li Xinghe deeply, this person can be said to have changed his life, if he hadn't made up his mind to fight to the death with himself at the last moment, he might not have been so unwilling, which caused resonance with the soul of the dragon and the rest of his life!
And the other two, that Liu Chengyan he has also heard of, is also the absolute elite among the children of the Liu family, according to legend, he also broke through the third dragon vein, but he did not participate in the last Dragon Gate ceremony, otherwise the title of the first person in the young generation may be lost.
But the other, this girl named Jiang Xue, he had never heard of, and even this name never sounded like her real name!
The four guardian families occupy the vast majority of the population in Dragon City, and almost ninety percent of the people are surnamed Zhang, Wang, Li and Liu, but there are also some other surnames.
However, this Jiangxue is obviously not her real name, but more like a code name.
Wang Lung glanced at her, but saw that her appearance was beautiful and vulgar, and her posture was like a fairy, but she was born with a cold appearance, as if the whole world had nothing to do with her.
"She doesn't have a real name, only a code name, a cold appearance, and an indifferent temperament, is she actually a person from Long Yinzhong?! No, the training in Long Yin is even more rigorous, and the threshold for entry alone is many times higher than that of Long Wu! If she is from Long Yin, why did she come here? Could it be ......?"
Wang Long sneered suddenly, and seemed to understand the truth of the matter somewhat, but he didn't break it, and only nodded lightly to a few people, which was regarded as a greeting.
That Zhang Tailai still said coldly: "This is a newcomer from the clan, named Wang Long, who has also reached the realm of breaking through the third dragon vein at the age of eighteen! From now on, he will become your partner, training with you, and carrying out tasks together!"
Li Xinghe has been staring at Wang Lung since he saw him, as if he didn't believe his eyes, and after listening to Zhang Tai's words at this moment, he didn't show any rude behavior, and said with a slight smile: "Li Xinghe, you know." ”
Wang Lung smiled and replied, "Naturally." ”
That Liu Chengyan was obviously a straight man, and said: "It turns out that you are Wang Long, the son of the contemporary dragon head, the hero who has the soul of the dragon fighting sealed in his body, but you were not ...... by Li Xinghe that day."
Speaking of this, he also found a little reckless, scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I'm this personality, rude and rude, don't blame it!"
Wang Lung smiled: "It's okay, I've heard of the name of Brother Liu Chengyan." ”
Liu Chengyan smiled and didn't say anything more.
It was the girl's turn, but she didn't raise her head, and said indifferently: "Jiangxue." ”
Liu Chengyan was a little embarrassed, and said: "She has always been like this, just get used to it, just get used to it." ”
Na Jiangxue glanced at him with her eyes, Liu Chengyan seemed to be frozen, and immediately stopped talking, not daring to speak anymore.
Zhang Tailai nodded and said indifferently: "Okay, even if you know each other, continue to practice! I'll teach Wang Long some things first." ”
Several people saluted Zhang Tailai, said hello to Wang Lung, and continued to join the cultivation team, leaving only Zhang Tailai and Wang Long in front of the venue.
Zhang Tailai suddenly said: "I won't hide anything, it is the meaning of the dragon head to let you come to Longwu to train and join my team, but if you ask me what I think of you...... I hate you!"
