Chapter 1946 — 1946: Young Dragons(3)

"There's no way Dragon Goddess Yeyou's envoy is only a Divine Emperor! You must be teasing me!" Sheng Ran refused to believe that would be Yuan's true cultivation.

Yuan smiled and said, "But it's the truth."

"No way…"

After a moment of awkward silence, Sheng Ran spoke again, "Okay… I'll suppress my cultivation to match yours."

However, Yuan shook his head and said, "There's no need for you to do that."

"What? But that wouldn't be fair."

"Why not? Because I cannot use Immortal Qi?"

Sheng Ran quietly nodded.

The next moment, Yuan exuded his Immortal Qi, shocking Sheng Ran and the spectators.

"He can use Immortal Qi even though he's only a mortal?!"

In the Seventh Heaven and above, all cultivators who have yet to breakthrough Immortal Ascension and reach Bronze Immortal are considered mortals.

Sheng Ran could only stand there with a dumbfounded look on her face.

"Are you still going to underestimate me? I promise you that I am Dragon Goddess Yeyou's envoy for a reason," said Yuan, snapping Sheng Ran out of her daze.

"I-In that case, let's spar without any restrictions…" she muttered.

Yuan nodded, "That's more like it."

"By the way, I won't be using any techniques or weapons," he added.

"So you'll only be using your physique? I'll do that as well!"

"Whenever you are ready," Yuan said calmly.

After a brief moment of stillness, both sprang into action, moving almost at the same instant. Yuan, however, was a split second slower, having deliberately waited for Sheng Ran to make the first move.

Their bodies shrouded in Immortal Qi, Yuan and Sheng Ran collided with explosive force, sending a powerful ripple surging through the arena. Fortunately, a protective formation surrounded the battlefield, containing the shockwave and preventing it from spilling into the surrounding area.

A look of surprise appeared on Sheng Ran's face when she noticed how powerful Yuan's physique was.

'I have never seen such a sturdy and powerful physique before! Can humans really achieve this level of physique as a mortal?!' she cried inwardly.

Sheng Ran was a genius in her own right, hence why she was able to use Immortal Qi while only being at the peak of Immortal Ascension. However, when she compared herself to Yuan, she felt like an ordinary mortal who had no talents.

As the battle wore on, the outcome became increasingly clear. Sheng Ran was drenched in sweat, her breaths growing heavy and uneven, exhaustion evident in every movement.

In stark contrast, Yuan stood calm and composed, without so much as a single drop of sweat marring his body.

The Dragon Emperor watched with intense focus, not daring to miss even the slightest detail.

'His experience and prowess are far above what it appears… This is beyond the realm of geniuses… So he's a True Reincarnator, huh? That explains everything…' The Dragon Emperor finally pieced together the truth and understood the situation.

"Y-You win!" Sheng Ran declared her own defeat as she fell to the ground in exhaustion. Although Sheng Ran could wield Immortal Qi, doing so drained her energy and stamina at an alarming rate, especially under the relentless pressure from Yuan. As a result, the match lasted just over an hour before she was completely exhausted, unable to continue.

"It was a good match," said Yuan.

Before Yuan could even step off the stage, another figure leapt onto it, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

"Senior Envoy, she wasn't even enough to count as a warm-up, was she?" he said with a grin. "How about a match with me, Sheng Ming?"

Yuan turned to look at the handsome young man standing before him. His cultivation had reached Bronze Immortal, and his body exuded an aura that was much stronger than Sheng Ran's.

"Why not?" Yuan said with a smile.

Seeing this, Sheng Ran quickly got off the stage so they could begin their fight.

The moment Sheng Ran stepped off the stage, Sheng Ming lunged at Yuan with fierce momentum, his aura surging so violently that the very air around them trembled without end.

Sheng Ming had decided to go all out from the very beginning. Not wanting to disappoint him, Yuan activated his Dragon Transformation before clashing with him.

"He can use Dragon Transformation even though he's a human?!" Sheng Ran and the other dragons were greatly shocked to see this.

"That must be Dragon Goddess Yeyou's powers! There's no doubt that he's her envoy!"

"I knew you were holding back… but I didn't expect you to be hiding this much power," Sheng Ming muttered through gritted teeth.

He had intended to press the offensive, but the overwhelming pressure from Yuan made it impossible. Forced onto the defensive, Sheng Ming could only hope to spot an opening amidst the relentless assault.

However, his hopes never materialized. Within half an hour, Sheng Ming was thoroughly defeated, unable to withstand Yuan's relentless pressure.

"I haven't experienced this level of defeat since I graduated from this place…" Sheng Ming sighed out loud as he lay on the ground.

Just like Sheng Ming, several more dragons jumped onto the stage. However, they weren't as powerful as Sheng Ming. Yet, they still wanted to experience fighting with Yuan.

"I'll face all three of you at once. Whenever you're ready." Yuan beckoned them.

"Thank you for this opportunity, Senior Envoy!"

The young dragons bowed to him before attacking simultaneously from different directions.

Although Yuan didn't deactivate his Dragon Transformation, he didn't go all out either, allowing the young dragons to fight a satisfying match.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, Yuan spent the rest of the day sparring with the young dragons in the training grounds.

"I am going to train here a little longer. You can leave without me." Xi Meili said to them at the end of the day.

Yuan nodded and continued ascending the Dragon Spiral Mountain with the Dragon Emperor.

"Sorry that took so long. I only planned on a few matches."

"There's nothing to apologize for. I was even expecting it to take a few days. The young dragons enjoyed it. That's all that matters."

Yuan looked at him and smiled, "You know, a certain friend told me how the Dragon Emperors have a terrible personality."

The Dragon Emperor burst out laughing at such unexpected remarks and said, "Well, your friend isn't wrong."

"Huh?" Yuan looked at him with raised eyebrows.
