X-Dragon Era-Chapter 285 - s 217-219 Double Date Outing_3

Moreover, the most important thing is, according to the academy’s regulations, as the former Head of the Institute, as long as one can maintain a draw in battle, it counts as a victory. The same rule applies to the challenge system for grade segment leaders.

In other words, as a former Head of the Institute, although Lan Se lost, she still has a chance to take back the throne and can continue to challenge Po Kong. However, the difference is, if Lan Se wins the second round, then Po Kong will have the right to challenge again, and the victor of the third match will be the definitive chief.

Simply put, it’s basically best two out of three. Lan Se has already lost one round, and it’s up to her to initiate the next challenge. If she loses the second round as well, she will completely lose the opportunity and no longer be qualified to challenge. But if she wins, she must take part in the third match. That is the challenge rule of the Institute’s Head of the Institute.

Soon, Lan Se requested leave and returned to Xin Yun’s side. Facing this, Xin Yun didn’t say much and directly took Lan Se away from the academy. Next... it was time to embark on their journey.

After packing up food and daily necessities, Xin Yun put them into the Chaos Cauldron. Although this cauldron was filled with chaotic currents, it was fine as long as he informed the Axe Soul not to refine them.

The Chaos Cauldron was indeed a treasure. It could suck enemies into it and thoroughly refine them into chaos, or trap them without refining.

With this storage treasure cauldron, Xin Yun’s life was much easier. At least he didn’t have to carry a bunch of items. Unfortunately, although the Chaos Cauldron could store things, it didn’t have an environment to sustain life. Thus, it could only store inanimate objects; living things would not survive inside if cut off from the outside for a long time, no matter how strong they were.

But then again, if one’s power was too much higher, it wouldn’t be possible to pull them in anyway. Stay updated through novelbuddy

Xin Yun’s first destination was a small county with just over a hundred thousand people, where... there were five interesting little guys. Although they were nothing more than thugs and small-time hooligans now, they would later be close to the level of the Nine Great Experts. However... that was only if you counted all five of them together.

Quintuplets! Yes... not only were these five individuals brothers, but they were also born as quintuplets from the same mother, each controlling a Mouse Dragon, capable of flying and burrowing, and extremely slippery. Trying to kill them was extraordinarily difficult.

However, although these five were formidable, their specialty was to escape and hide. They could fly high, jump low, and burrow deep into the ground. Even someone among the Nine Great Experts would have a headache facing them. Just a moment of inattention, and these guys would vanish without a trace, impossible to find.

The reason why Xin Yun chose these five was mainly for their unique talent—flying and burrowing. With this ability, stealing from various mines would be perfect. Once he recruited these five treasures, repairing the Sky-opening Axe to twenty percent would be within reach!

If it could be repaired to twenty percent within three years, Lan Se’s chances of defeating Po Kong in their battle would be more than doubled!

Although Po Kong is the future world’s number one expert, that’s still in the future, not the present. Therefore... the best strategy to defeat him is to take advantage while he hasn’t reached his peak. If it drags on, no one knows what might happen.

Sitting leisurely on the back of Yinglong, Xin Yun narrowed his eyes comfortably. Beside him, Lan Se watched the swiftly passing clouds in disbelief.

After quite a while, Lan Se finally came to her senses, staring at Xin Yun in shock. She hadn’t expected... truly hadn’t expected that Xin Yun, with just a silver seven-star ranking, could possess such insane speed! Such speed, even crystal-stage Giant Dragons were rare to see!

Seeing Lan Se’s astonished look, Xin Yun laughed heartily, shook his head and said, "Don’t be so surprised. If you choose the right direction of development and add some hard work, naturally, results will follow."

Continuing, Xin Yun frowned slightly and said, "By the way, what is your direction of development? Area attacks? Energy shockwaves? Or...?"

Confronted with Xin Yun’s question, Lan Se honestly replied, "My direction of development is area attacks combined with blade cutting."

Hearing Lan Se’s words, Xin Yun frowned deeply and said, "Who chose this direction for you? Was it a Spiritual System detection instructor, or something else?"

In response to Xin Yun’s inquiry, Lan Se shook her head and said, "This was assigned by the elders of my clan. You should understand; many times, many choices are not something you can decide on your own."

Liao Ran nodded in understanding. As someone with experience, Xin Yun still knew some of the inside stories. As a clan, it’s natural to arrange for the cultivation direction of their descendants to complement one another. Although the power of one person might seem weak, when combined, they could unleash boundless strength.

A typical example were Ke Zhan and Speedy Slash. Under Xin Yun’s arrangement, Ke Zhan’s direction was set towards the Katyusha Rocket Launcher, while Speedy Slash was steered towards the role of a high-speed excitation guard. In fact... these weren’t the most suitable directions for the two of them, but they were definitely the best for Xin Yun and the gang’s benefit.

Similarly, Lan Se’s direction should not have been area plus blade cutting, but for a clan, it was essential to have a member with large-scale attack capability. With the addition of blade cutting, it could create a zone of lethality. For any clan, such an existence would possess a tremendous deterrent power!
