Chapter 675: Chapter 497: Little Dragon King

[Ring Number 7, Bu Yuanlong]

As Bu Zheng leaped onto the petal, five light curtains appeared simultaneously in mid-air, showing his figure. Two seconds later, his name appeared.

But this time it wasn’t Bu Zheng, it was Bu Yuanlong!

No matter what the occasion or competition, the first person to appear always draws special attention.

While others hesitated, Bu Zheng directly leaped onto the stage, instantly becoming the focus of all eyes.

However, his appearance wasn’t remarkable, so he didn’t cause much of a reaction from the audience.

Standing at 1.78 meters tall, with an ordinary face, gray-white hair, a weathered expression, and the look of a middle-aged man, he exuded a sense of exhaustion. From behind, he even resembled an old man.

The audience was not unfamiliar with this figure. As the dean of Red Cloud Martial Arts Academy, wherever Lin Feng’s team appeared, so did his figure.

Although not a king, Bu Zheng’s fame was not insignificant, but no one expected he had another name.

Another identity.

So when the name ’Bu Yuanlong’ appeared on the light curtain, the scene fell momentarily silent, then was replaced by gasps of surprise.

"Isn’t he Bu Zheng? The dean of Red Cloud Martial Arts Academy? When did he change his name?"

"Bu Yuanlong? Is it for real?"

"Could it be the Bu Yuanlong from twenty years ago?"

"That Little Dragon King?"

The audience discussed fervently, their tone filled with disbelief.

Although the name ’Bu Yuanlong’ had disappeared for twenty years, it wasn’t forgotten. As soon as it was mentioned, everyone would instantly recall that incredibly talented super genius.

A man who, at only twenty years old, topped the Glory Rookie List.

A man who was not yet a king but was hailed as the most likely to become an emperor.

At that time, Bu Yuanlong’s popularity was in no way inferior to today’s Ye Qiu and Yun Kai, perhaps even surpassing them.

A martial arts genius, refined an Earth Chart Demon Spirit, and possessed a bloodline talent — every label was astounding, and the combination was hard to match in history.

The audience had not expected this, nor had many candidates.

Among the 394 competitors, there were 56 people aged between 40 and 50, contemporaries of Bu Zheng.

Compared to the audience, they understood the significance of this name better.

Many faces changed subtly, with heavy expressions, as they recalled the sense of powerlessness at being ’suppressed’ back then.

"Dean Bu seems quite formidable."

Watching the surprised faces on the light curtain, Yu Qiao smiled and said.

When the name Bu Yuanlong became famous, he had just been born, Yun Kai and others hadn’t even been born yet.

Although he too had heard of Bu Yuanlong’s glorious history, he couldn’t personally feel it.

In the Avengers Alliance, due to cultivation technique reasons, Bu Zheng couldn’t display his true strength, and he didn’t participate much in battles, remaining unusually low-key.

"That was a man hailed as the Little Dragon King."

Ye Xing watched the light curtain and sighed.

The nickname Little Dragon King wasn’t given by the Human Race but by the Alien Race.

As an invincible powerhouse, in the Divine Martial Continent, the Dragon King had rivals, but he was universally recognized as the top expert by both humans and aliens.

To be named Little Dragon King by the Alien Race, it shows how incredibly gifted Bu Yuanlong was back then.

The appearance of Bu Yuanlong brought a small peak in atmosphere, making the audience even more eager for the upcoming challenges.

"Bu Yuanlong!!!"

"Little Dragon King!"

The audience welcomed him with cheers and screams.

Standing in the center of the petal, facing the tsunami-like cheering, Bu Yuanlong remained unmoved, showing extreme calmness.

Having reached middle age, after experiencing life and death, he had long passed the age of youthful fervor.

But facing the attention and cheering of over a hundred thousand people, his body couldn’t help being somewhat excited.

This feeling was very familiar, and it was indeed something to enjoy.

"Is Bu Yuanlong’s body alright now?"

Among the audience, many powers and corporations showed expressions of surprise.

They knew Bu Zheng’s true identity and were aware that he didn’t have much time left.

Having cultivated the "Fish Dragon Transformation", it was already beyond many people’s expectations that he could persist until now.

But this person, whom they saw as having little time left, was competing for a student’s spot!

Could it be true, as rumored, that "Fish Dragon Transformation" had achieved a new breakthrough?

"Fish Dragon Transformation" was a cultivation technique created by the Dragon King and one of his keys to invincibility. No one doubted its power, but the fatal threat deterred anyone with intentions from even trying.

This truth was proven with the lives of many super geniuses.

With previous lessons learned, knowing certain death awaited, yet Lin Feng dared to cultivate this technique. Moreover, the cultivation speed and his Lifebound Demon Spirit Dragon Fish’s growth speed seemed to confirm this rumor.

If it’s true that the cultivation technique had progressed or they found a solution, then Bu Yuanlong would surely become a king.

With his talent, upon becoming a king, he would undoubtedly be a strong one among kings.

However, there’s also the possibility that Bu Yuanlong, knowing his limited time, decided to take one last gamble?

Many corporations were interested in Bu Yuanlong, but due to unknown specifics, they temporarily refrained from recruiting him.

"Has he recovered?"

In the audience, Yang Qingtian asked Yang Qing beside him.

As part of the Ten Great Clans of Shangjing, they weren’t interested in the competition but were interested in those with potential to become kings.

Like other powers and corporations, they also intended to recruit some experts.

"I don’t know, haven’t been in contact, but it’s quite possible."

Facing his father’s inquiring gaze, Yang Qing slightly shook his head.

As a genius of the same era, he understood Bu Yuanlong’s talent better than others. He was a rare opponent who could pressure him and even surpass him.

At that time, his brilliance dimmed many geniuses.

This time, his reverting to the name Bu Yuanlong seems to suggest something as well.

"It’s truly a gathering of geniuses!"

Looking at Lin Feng’s team, Yang Qingtian sighed.

Although there wasn’t a king among them, every single one was extraordinary.

The embryonic form of the Pure Land wasn’t just a joke.

Given time to grow, no power could ignore them.

"I alone am the Glory Race!"

For some reason, Yang Qingtian suddenly thought of this phrase.

At the time, he found it very laughable, thinking Lin Feng too young, unaware of the heights of the sky, and ignorant of what the Glory Race truly meant.

But now, it seems he really did have the qualification.

And it’s far more than just qualification.

Because whether it’s Ye Qiu or Yun Kai, or Ye Xing and Yun Tianqi of the Glory All-Star, from beginning to end, Lin Feng has been at the core.

After Bu Yuanlong stepped onto the steel petal, other petals also revealed figures.

Some were familiar, some were unfamiliar, but undoubtedly, they all had great confidence in their strength.

The challenge soon began.

People kept rushing onto the petals, but there were three petals which no one dared to step on.

One of them was Bu Yuanlong.
