Chapter 2881: Trouble is Coming

"Phew… that's about it…" Xiao Fan muttered. His Realm had now risen to the fifth level of the Wanwu Realm, Middle Stage.

Previously, Xiao Fan had shown the Palace Master of the Dragon God Palace a dozen or so drops of Golden Blood, all of which he had just finished refining.

This was currently the limit to which the ancestral emperor dragon blood in Xiao Fan's hands could elevate him.

Xiao Fan was very satisfied with this result. He really wanted to refine the ancestral emperor dragon blood within the star chart as well.

However, it was too dangerous here for now. Xiao Fan planned to refine it himself after leaving the Divine Dragon Realm.

"My strength… if I advance to the Tatian Realm, I wonder if I can protect myself," Xiao Fan whispered, secretly estimating the gap between himself and Qin Wuhan and the Palace Master of the Dragon God Palace.

After a while, he shook his head. While the current Xiao Fan was indeed strong, there was still a significant gap compared to them. Even if Xiao Fan achieved a Breakthrough to the Tatian Realm, he would likely still fall short.

After all, Qin Wuhan, the Palace Master of the Dragon God Palace, and the others were no ordinary figures; they were top-tier even above the Divine Wheel Realm… Moreover, the Palace Master of the Dragon God Palace gave Xiao Fan the feeling that he wasn't in the Divine Wheel Realm at all.

It was likely the Jidao Realm, which followed the Divine Wheel Realm.

If he were a powerhouse of the Jidao Realm, then Xiao Fan would have no chance of winning at all.

"Forget it, I won't think about that for now…" Xiao Fan muttered. He planned to consolidate his cultivation and then head out for a stroll.

At this moment, Shi Yun arrived once again outside the Dragon Prince Hall where Xiao Fan was staying.

"His presence has stabilized… how terrifying," Shi Yun murmured, her eyes filled with shock.

Previously, when Xiao Fan had his Breakthrough in the side hall, she had been extremely shocked while waiting outside. She hadn't expected Long Aotian's Breakthrough to cause such a massive disturbance.

Shi Yun hesitated for a moment before walking over and knocking on the door of the Dragon Prince Hall.

*Knock, knock, knock…*

"Aotian, have you finished your seclusion?"

"Aotian?"

"Are you okay?"

"…"

Hearing Shi Yun outside the Dragon Prince Hall, sentence after sentence, Xiao Fan's face inside the palace twitched.

"I am fine… I am consolidating. Do not disturb me."

Hearing Xiao Fan's voice from within the Dragon Prince Hall, Shi Yun let out a breath, snorted coldly, and turned to leave.

She felt she had truly lost face.

One must know that Shi Yun was very popular within the Dragon God Palace and was the most pampered member of the royal family by the Palace Master of the Dragon God Palace. Yet, Long Aotian ignored her so completely.

Shi Yun was naturally indignant. She felt she was so outstanding, so why did Long Aotian look down on her?!

Little did she know, it wasn't that Xiao Fan looked down on her, but rather he was worried about something happening between them, which would lead to trouble later.

By now, the news of Long Aotian becoming the disciple of the Palace Master of the Dragon God Palace and joining the royal family had caused a huge stir throughout the entire Divine Dragon Realm…

Many Prodigies of the Dragon God Palace who had been away previously were rushing back to find out what was going on…

The reason they wanted to investigate wasn't just because Xiao Fan was the Palace Master's disciple, but also because he had moved into the Dragon Prince Hall.

It was well known that the Dragon Prince Hall had always been empty; it was a place where only the future Prospective Heir was qualified to reside, carrying a different symbolic meaning.

Now, many believed that perhaps the Palace Master of the Dragon God Palace intended for Long Aotian to be his successor, which was why he was allowed to stay in the Dragon Prince Hall.

Furthermore, Shi Yun was so close to Long Aotian, and it was said she visited the Dragon Prince Hall every day…

If that were the case, wouldn't it mean the Palace Master of the Dragon God Palace had already made his decision?!

Consequently, the various Prodigies of the Dragon God Palace could no longer restrain themselves and headed to the palace to understand the situation.

Among them were several of Shi Yun's admirers. Upon learning that she and Long Aotian were close, each of them had a menacing Aura and was filled with Killing Intent… wishing they could skin Long Aotian alive.

After arriving at the Dragon God Palace, they didn't act impulsively but first sought out those who had previously fought Xiao Fan to gather information.

Long Yi, Long Ling, Long Haoqiong, and the others were exceptionally busy, as Dragon Clan experts of higher seniority came to question them about Long Aotian.

"Is he… really that strong?"

"He really is…" Long Yi nodded. "He's very strong, terrifying even. I was no match for him at all, and I have no idea why he's so powerful…"

"When you fought him, did you really have no chance of winning at all?" the Royal Family Powerhouse asked again.

"None… not even a shred. This man is frighteningly strong; I was simply no match for him." Long Yi shook his head repeatedly.

Was it a joke? Could he have had any chance of winning when fighting Long Aotian?

Long Yi's feeling was more distinct than others because he had actually sensed Xiao Fan's presence from Long Aotian, though he hadn't told anyone about it.

Because he wasn't sure if it was true, and… in Long Yi's mind, why would Xiao Fan come to the Divine Dragon Realm?

Wouldn't that be seeking death?!

So Long Yi assumed he was overthinking it; the person couldn't possibly be Xiao Fan.

"I see… alright, I understand." The Dragon Clan expert nodded, his expression grave.

"I advise you not to go looking for trouble with him…" Long Yi said.
