Supreme Electromagnetic Tyrant-Chapter 716 - 434 Dragon Spear Duels_2

Ji Xinghuo was a bit surprised; he wasn’t the only one eyeing the Annihilation Dragon Egg.

"I hope you can hatch it," Titanium Cobalt Zhenhe patted Ji Xinghuo on the shoulder earnestly.

"Hahahaha..."

Suddenly, someone burst into loud laughter.

Everyone looked towards the source of the laughter—a man dressed in armor with short, silver-gray hair like steel needles. His body was muscular, brimming with explosive strength, his facial features vigorous, and his eyes electric, exuding an imposing aura.

Ji Xinghuo recognized him; he was one of the leading figures of the younger generation in the Titanium Cobalt Family whom Titanium Cobalt Lan had just introduced: Titanium Cobalt Xu.

Titanium Cobalt Xu made no attempt to hide his mockery.

He pointed a finger at Titanium Cobalt Zhenhe and laughed loudly, "Zhenhe, I’ve found that you truly have a talent for humor. A dead egg, and you’re hoping to hatch a dragon from it. Anyone who thinks like that is either half asleep or brainless!"

The expressions of those present were odd.

The news of Ji Xinghuo picking the lifeless egg of the Annihilation Dragon from the Dragon Breeding Room had spread a few days earlier.

Everyone just took it as a joke and didn’t think much of it.

The Deserted People lacked experience, so it was normal for them to be ignorant.

The words between Ji Xinghuo and Titanium Cobalt Zhenhe were overheard by many, but out of respect for Titanium Cobalt Qingwei, they suppressed their laughter and kept it to themselves.

Only Titanium Cobalt Xu laughed openly.

Although he was addressing Titanium Cobalt Zhenhe, each word he said was a roundabout way of ridiculing Ji Xinghuo as a fool.

"Xu, I’m not joking," Titanium Cobalt Zhenhe shook his head, "I really think that way."

"Hahaha..." Titanium Cobalt Xu was amused again.

He laughed heartily, bending forward and backward as if he had heard the most absurd joke in the world, and couldn’t stop. His unrestrained laughter echoed throughout the banquet hall and reached the lakeside, attracting the gaze of many passersby.

Everyone’s eyes fell on Ji Xinghuo, thinking that if they were in his shoes, they would be feeling incredibly embarrassed by now.

However, Ji Xinghuo’s face remained calm as if it had nothing to do with him.

"Xu,"

Titanium Cobalt Qingwei chided softly, "Have you had your fill of laughter?"

"Sorry!" Titanium Cobalt Xu immediately fell silent, though his face still wore a mocking expression, "Qingwei, you know that I’m always upfront and wouldn’t normally lose my composure, but I just couldn’t help it."

Titanium Cobalt Qingwei’s gaze grew cold as she stared at him.

"Alright, alright." It seemed that Titanium Cobalt Xu was a bit afraid of her, and he quickly raised his hands as a sign of apology, "I was wrong, I’ll penalize myself with three drinks."

The attendant by the table quickly poured three cups of wine for Titanium Cobalt Xu, who then tilted his head back and drank them in succession.

Titanium Cobalt Qingwei, seeing him submit, let the matter drop.

The atmosphere of the banquet resumed.

A moment later, as all the guests had arrived, Titanium Cobalt Qingwei walked over with a breeze of fragrance and sat down at the table next to Ji Xinghuo, asking quietly with concern, "Xing, are you alright?"

Ji Xinghuo, as if he hadn’t understood, replied, "I’m quite fine."

"Xu didn’t mean any harm. After the banquet, I’ll introduce the two of you properly to clear up the misunderstanding," Titanium Cobalt Qingwei said, thinking Ji Xinghuo was only pretending not to hold a grudge and still resented Titanium Cobalt Xu inside.

"I have no misunderstanding with him." Ji Xinghuo shook his head indifferently, "Thank you for your kindness, Princess Qingwei, but there’s no need for concern."

Titanium Cobalt Qingwei, seeing that he seemed sincere, was finally reassured.

She stood up again.

Dang dang!

Titanium Cobalt Qingwei tapped the jade plate on the table, producing a crisp sound that permeated the entire hall, drawing the attention of the guests.

"Ladies and gentlemen," Titanium Cobalt Qingwei declared loudly, "I am honored to have you all here tonight. First, to celebrate the successful conclusion of the Dragon of the End Festival, and second, because all of you present are the illustrious young talents of the Yuan Magnetic Territory, and even of the entire Dynasty, rarely gathered together in Titanium Ring City, I, on behalf of the king, should fulfill the host’s duty."

She raised her glass, "To the first toast, let’s honor the Dragon of the End!"

"To the Dragon of the End!"

The guests all raised their glasses, responded in unison, and then drank.

"To the second toast, let’s honor the king!"

"To the king!"

Titanium Cobalt Qingwei raised the third glass, and after drinking two glasses in a row, it seemed that the wine had gotten to her; a rosy flush spread across her beautiful face, making her irresistibly attractive, yet her eyes remained lucid and bright as she said, "To the third toast, let’s honor ourselves, wishing for our Dragon Veins to reach the pinnacle, to witness together the end!"

"For our Dragon Veins to reach the pinnacle, to witness the end together!"

Everyone shouted together, their voices thundering to the skies, as excitement surged through their veins, and they emptied their glasses in one gulp.

After three rounds of toasting, the mood of the banquet grew even more exuberant.

Everyone gradually loosened up, forming small groups here and there and occasionally bursting into laughter and cheerful conversation.

Titanium Cobalt Qingwei, holding a wine glass, moved among the guests, joining each group with ease. She’d speak a few words with everyone, neither showing excessive enthusiasm nor neglecting any guest, always striking the perfect balance and further heightening the lively atmosphere.

Ji Xinghuo wasn’t very interested; he was simply there to enjoy the good food and drinks.

He wasn’t the only one who felt this way.

Not everyone was keen on socializing, and everyone understood this, so they didn’t come over to bother him.

Ji Xinghuo set down his wine glass and belched satisfactorily.

Then, he looked over to Guxing Li, who was sitting at a table one over. The clone avatar of Guxing Li, who had come to attend the banquet tonight, no longer had the fake horns of a pseudo-Dragon on his head, nor did he have the scales on his neck, making him indistinguishable from a True Dragon.

He asked, "Have you become a Dragon Lord already?"

"That’s right," Guxing Li nodded casually.

"What kind of dragon is it?"

"Sky Feather Dragon."

Ji Xinghuo was not surprised by this response; the Sky Feather Dragon was one of the fastest-flying dragons, belonging to the Sky Dragon Species. Among Guxing Li’s eight clone avatars, all of which were Dragon Warriors, there was a Sky Feather Dragon, a perfect match.

Unless it was a Divine Dragon Species, Guxing Li would not choose a dragon species beyond the bloodline of his eight clone avatars.

A fresh and leisurely voice came from behind, "Guxing Li has already become a Dragon Lord; what about your dragon?"

Ji Xinghuo turned around to meet Cang Ya’s deep blue eyes.

Standing next to Cang Ya was Cai Xia * Dawn Blade, neither of whom were less beautiful than Titanium Cobalt Qingwei. However, since they were guests today, they did not shine as brightly as Titanium Cobalt Qingwei and were always competing with each other behind the scenes.

Upon hearing Ji Xinghuo speak, Cang Ya couldn’t help but interject, and Cai Xia’s attention also shifted over, saying, "I heard you are incubating a Dragon Egg?"

Only when it came to Ji Xinghuo did the two women form a united front.

"Am I really that acquainted with you both?" Ji Xinghuo suddenly asked.

"Humph."

Cang Ya was somewhat baffled.

Cai Xia frowned slightly, "Just making casual conversation." Although she spoke in True Dragon Language, her tone was peculiar, her voice ethereal and melodious like a song, and as she spoke, her pointed ears gently trembled, attracting attention.

"Since we’re not that close, and definitely not friends, what does it matter to you whether I have a dragon?" Ji Xinghuo retorted, "If you’re not content with your rankings at the Destructive Dragon Festival, I’m ready for your challenge anytime."

After saying that, he turned back around, facing away from them.

Cang Ya and Cai Xia were both taken aback and somewhat discouraged after giving it some thought. Both had seen the final battle between Ji Xinghuo and Guxing Li and, to be fair, both men were stronger than themselves.

A challenge would surely be lost.

At least until they advanced to Sixth Rank, they both realized that they couldn’t rival Ji Xinghuo and didn’t want to disgrace themselves.

"You just wait!" Cang Ya watched Ji Xinghuo’s back, determined.

Cai Xia’s gaze was also flashing.

Midway through the banquet, when the atmosphere was at its liveliest, suddenly someone called out loudly, "It’s rare to have so many exceptional talents gathered here today. The Dragon Spear Arena is just beside us; why not just have a round of Dragon Spear Duels?"

"Good!" Someone immediately agreed.

A Dragon Lord stood up and shouted, "We Dragon Lords ought to liven up the party with a duel, to see who fares best on the back of a dragon!"

"Makes sense!"

"Drinking alone is no fun; the Dragon Spear Duels will show who the true dragon among dragons is!"

"I agree as well."

The crowd echoed each other, quickly coming to a consensus, and all turned to the host, Titanium Cobalt Qingwei, waiting for her command.

Titanium Cobalt Qingwei’s gaze swept over the guests.

Ji Xinghuo noticed her gaze linger on him for a moment – their eyes met and seemed to convey deeper meanings before Titanium Cobalt Qingwei finally smiled and declared, "Since everyone is so inclined, I naturally won’t spoil the fun. Let’s have the Dragon Spear Duels!"

"Excellent!"

The group of Dragon Lords erupted in approval.

At the same time, a roaring dragon roar resounded throughout Titanium Ring City. Before long, hundreds of dragons of varying shapes and sizes flew in from the distance, landing on the open space beside the lake under the starry night.

Bang bang bang...

Above the oval man-made lake, thousands of giant floating crystal lamps lit up, illuminating the starry night as if it were daytime.

A light screen rose up, enclosing the entire surface of the lake.

The Dragon Lords were eager to try their luck.

A Sixth Rank Dragon Lord took the lead, flying into the air, looking down at the banquet area. He tossed a pile of Ether Crystals onto the table, excitedly declaring, "I shall open the first round with my humble skills, betting a thousand Ether Crystals. Who will take up the challenge?" freewebnoveℓ.com
