Before the dock.
Guo Jing, the Giant Whale Clan Princess, still stood in front with her clansmen, a group of burly Giant Whale Clan members blocking the center of the road. If a Yao who didn't know the truth saw this, how could they tell this was a marriage proposal?
It clearly looked like they were here to rob!
“Excuse me, please.”
Tianjiao Xiao Li shifted his steps to the left.
The Giant Whale Clan Yao followed, shifting their positions.
Tianjiao Xiao Li shifted his steps to the right.
The Giant Whale Clan Yao followed to the right.
“......”
Li Mo felt a bit tipsy.
Looking at this posture, the Giant Whale Clan didn't intend to let him go easily. What should he do?
Reason with them?
Look at the Giant Whale Clan's 'intelligent' eyes; their brains are probably just filled with muscle. Do they look like they can be reasoned with?
“What do you want? State your terms!”
Li Mo gave up on the 'courtesy first' part of 'courtesy before force'.
Anyway, Aunt Wu was also here, and they were still below Hanging Temple, so there was no need to worry about safety.
“Very simple!”
Princess Guo Jing raised her rolling pin-like finger, pointed at Li Mo, then pointed at herself.
“You and I will compete in strength! Whoever has greater strength makes the decision!”
“Good!”
Li Mo didn't want to get entangled here and agreed without hesitation.
The surrounding Yao Race tactically leaned back.
Even Wu Qing and Murong Feng, the couple, were startled.
It was well known what kind of gold content the Giant Whale Clan's strength held among the Southern Frontier Yao Race.
Legend has it that before a dynasty even earlier than Great Shang, there were several immortal islands beyond the South Sea. Each immortal island was one-tenth the size of the Southern Frontier and could move freely.
Why?
Because they weren't islands at all; they were the Giant Whale Clan ancestors carrying a landmass on their backs!
Although Guo Jing was not old, her Bloodline had returned to its ancestral form, making her a leader among her peers in the Giant Whale Clan.
However, our Tianjiao Xiao Li was not weak either, with the impressive battle record of smashing Xiang Liu Young Clan Leader's head!
“You are the first among my peers who dares to compete with me in strength.”
Guo Jing was very serious.
Li Mo looked at her pulsating biceps, a black line appearing as he asked:
“How do we compete?”
“That would naturally be the most fair and just Whale Clan tradition, tug-of-war!”
“Tradition?”
Guo Jing spoke of the powerful Seniors in her Clan with reverence and longing.
Legend has it that there was once a river where a very delicious type of fish would enter the sea from it. But ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) the land where this river was located spanned between two Fourth-Grade Giant Whale Yao Kings.
So the two Yao Kings tied ropes around themselves and each pulled one side of that land.
They agreed that whoever could pull the river's mouth into their territory would own the food from then on.
“Later, that piece of land was split in two by them. This is the reason why the two Giant Whales had no fish to eat, teaching us the importance of unity.”
Li Mo was silent for a moment, feeling that the Giant Whale Clan's reasoning was excessively simple and unadorned.
Good thing he didn't try to reason with them.
“What will we use for tug-of-war?”
“You don't have to worry about that.”
Guo Jing called out, and several clansmen carried out a deep-sea heavy bronze cable, as thick as an adult man's wrist:
“Come on!”
“Good!”
Li Mo grabbed the bronze cable, barely able to get a full grip.
Immediately after, a force came, pulling the bronze cable taut.
To be honest, Guo Jing didn't think Wu Mo's strength could be greater than hers. After all, no matter how powerful the Ming Jiaolong Clan's Bloodline was, its focus wasn't on physique. So when she tested him, she didn't use her full strength from the start.
But what surprised her even more was this.
The Ming Jiaolong youth opposite her didn't budge.
She was already preparing to use her full strength:
“Actually, with this strength of yours, we can both make decisions together later.”
“?...Didn't you say if I win, you'll lead your clansmen to clear the way?”
“No, if I win, you come with me. If you win, I come with you. Our Giant Whale Clan's rules have always been like this, *ying*...”
“*Ying* your head!!”
Boom—
A mighty force erupted like a volcano.
Behind Guo Jing, a shadowy figure of a dark Rift Sea Dragon Whale instantly appeared, helping her unleash her full strength, causing even the deep-sea heavy bronze wire to emit white smoke.
But... it was as if she was being pulled by an entire world.
“???”
Guo Jing felt a strong sense of weightlessness.
Then she flew out like a shot put, quickly turning into a small black dot.
“Princess!”
The Giant Whale Clan members all chased after her.
“Phew...”
Tianjiao Xiao Li cupped his hand over his eyes, confirming that the other party wouldn't be back anytime soon, before letting out a sigh of relief.
Hiss...
Not just the Water Race, but all the surrounding Yao Race spectators simultaneously gasped, causing the temperature at the dock to drop sharply.
This strength?
Not only was it stronger than the Giant Whale Princess, it was a complete crushing defeat! He actually threw her out directly!
They had long known that this Heavenly Dragon Wu Mo was extraordinary, but they all unanimously believed it was due to his powerful Bloodline.
Even his strength is so great...
Wu Qing, Murong Feng, and the other Ming Jiaolong Clan members who came with them were a bit stunned, momentarily forgetting to stop the crowd of Yao.
Well, they probably couldn't stop them anyway.
“I said it long ago, the True Dragon Bloodline he possesses is not just a trace!”
“Peerless Sky蛟, well deserved!”
“This is not only the future of the Ming Jiaolong Clan, but also the future of our Water Race!”
“No wonder he dared to claim he could surpass Qingluan Goddess!”
“We originally thought that with Qingluan Goddess appearing in the Qin Race, we had no hope, but fate is so miraculous! Wu Mo can definitely contend with her!”
The Water Race became even more agitated.
They were also more excited. Wu Mo, at such a young age, possessed such a presence. What would happen if he obtained the heavenly divine jade?
Moreover, with his strength, the probability of him winning in the competition for the divine jade was extremely high!
“True Dragon... how is that possible...”
“But if he doesn't possess the aura of a True Dragon, why can he achieve such a degree?”
In Zhi Duo Luo's emotionless golden eyes, a strong wave of what was called greed emerged.
He was not the only Divine Son.
If he devoured Wu Mo...
He was almost driven by instinct, standing in front of Li Mo.
“?”
Seeing this scene, our Peerless Sky蛟 Xiao Li couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle, realizing the seriousness of the situation.
Just saying.
It was somewhat understandable for other Water Race members to come up and block him, requesting marriage alliances.
But why was a bird coming to join the fun? And a male bird at that!
What if either the species or gender matched?
Now, not only were the Water Race women surrounding him, but even the male Qin Race members were starting to participate?
“Wait!”
“I solemnly declare that I already have someone I like, and I am a traditional Jiaolong!”
Li Mo said loudly. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
The scene instantly fell silent, so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.
But perhaps... it wasn't because of what he said?
Because all the Yao Race members had raised their heads, looking up at the sky, their expressions either solemn or dazed.
A winged shadow enveloped someone.
Xiao Li suddenly felt a chill down his spine. This familiar oppressive feeling...
He looked back.
“Hmm?”
The young girl's dark hair flowed like a waterfall, and her green feathers shimmered, making her stand out from the surrounding Qingluan Clan.
She wore a long green feather dress, standing in the sunlight, her icy skin and jade bones making the dust motes grow cold, her posture embodying the vivid image of a startled swan. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Her jade-like face was cold and aloof, making her stand out even among the Qingluan Clan, who were known for their graceful beauty. A green divine pattern flickered on her brow, faintly revealing an even more noble and sacred majesty.
The young girl looked down expressionlessly, her shimmering eyes becoming quiet and cold.
What a terrifying oppressive feeling!
It was almost suffocating for a Yao!
Yes, who was she staring at?
The gazes of all the Water Race converged.
Li Mo: “!”
