The architecture of this sanctuary should have been simple and quaint, but due to the destruction of the Noxian invaders, the once simple and elegant monastery has been destroyed. However, with the efforts of the monks in the monastery, this sanctuary stands here again.

At this time, countless Shuoji monks came out of their meditation rooms in the monastery. Some ran to tell others, while others knelt down on the spot. Wherever you looked, everyone had a pious look on their faces.

The Holy Dragon Ao Xing, the divine dragon they have worshipped for generations, finally appeared again today!

The last time the Holy Dragon Ao Xing appeared was hundreds of years ago. Even Li Qing, who recently gained Ao Xing’s recognition, was unable to attract the dragon to the world.

With the sound of a door creaking open, an old man with a gray hair and aged face slowly walked out of the monastery, supported by two martial monk disciples.

The old man, who looked to be in his eighties, burst into tears the moment he saw Ao Xing’s ‘true face’. His aged body suddenly burst out with strength that did not belong to his age. He forcibly broke free from the support of his disciples, took two quick steps forward, and then knelt on the ground with a ‘thump’.

“God of dragons Ao Xing is above!”

After calling out devoutly, the elderly elder finally responded and quickly turned around and said to the disciple beside him:

“Ao Xing’s coming to this world must have a reason! Go check and see who he is!”

“Oh, right, let Li Qing know and ask him to come back soon! He absolutely cannot miss this grand spectacle!”

After giving all these instructions and seeing his disciple go away, the old man finally breathed a sigh of relief, turned back, and stared in the direction of the holy mountain.

He once thought that he would never be able to see the holy dragon he served in his lifetime. This was the regret of countless great monks in the monastery. He thought he would leave with this regret, but he did not expect that he would be able to witness the birth of the holy dragon with his own eyes at the last moment of his life!

Now, he can die with peace of mind!

“Human, I see your character.”

Ao Xing descended into the material realm, albeit in the form of an illusory projection – perhaps with Ao Xing’s strength, it was difficult for him to descend here in his true form, so he could only use this method.

However, his primary focus was not Zhang Xu, who had aroused his great interest, but the human in front of him.

The human in front of him had a foundation that he found incredible, and even Li Qing beside him could not compare with him. Although Li Qing’s character and talent were enough to gain his recognition, but…

He felt that Yasuo had the potential to receive the power of the dragon!

Hearing this, Li Qing’s face suddenly brightened. During the climb just now, Yasuo showed his perseverance, and at the same time, he also felt awe far greater than Zhang Xu.

Only those who fear the dragon are qualified to receive its blessing.

Li Qing pushed Yasuo forward as if encouraging him, and pushed Yasuo completely in front of Ao Xing.

But Yasuo didn’t know what to do, and stood in front of Ao Xing awkwardly. With his hands hanging down on both sides of his body, he had no idea where to put them, so he could only pretend to be indifferent and tighten his pants, looking straight at Ao Xing.

But such performance made Ao Xing very satisfied. He didn’t say anything more, nor did he ask Yasuo whether he was willing to receive the blessing.

For him, Yasuo has such potential, talent, and good character, so he deserves his own power.

The dense dark clouds in the sky suddenly dispersed, and the gathered thunder instantly penetrated the sky and earth and fell from the sky. The terrible thunder merged with the sweeping storm in mid-air, forming a bright and dazzling beam of light that fell directly on Yasuo.

This power…is the power of the dragon that Li Qing obtained?

Zhang Xu stood aside and carefully observed the beams of light in the sky and the energy surging in the space. He was sure that Yasuo also only obtained a trace of Ao Xing’s power.

But this power is enough to make Yasuo’s strength climb countless levels – wait until Yasuo returns to Shurima and receives the blessing of the Ascension Ceremony…

hiss…

Yasuo’s future suddenly became bright.

The blessing did not last long. The initial brilliance of the beam of light in the sky began to fade gradually, from dazzling to bright, then to dim, and finally to completely dim until it disappeared.

Yasuo stood there intact with a confused look on his face, but both Zhang Xu and Li Qing could clearly notice the changes in him.

Although the power of the dragon did not change Yasuo’s appearance, it gave him a different temperament.

Yasuo could also feel the changes in himself. He could clearly feel that his body was filled with strength. Moreover, his wind swordsmanship seemed to have changed… too.

Yasuo excitedly pulled out the unsheathed blade at his waist. A faint sound of a dragon’s roar instantly spread out, and the entire sword body turned blue-purple. A faint shadow of a dragon seemed to appear above the sword body.

“Human, you have gained the power of the dragon. Use your blade to fight for me!”

“You will walk in the world as the Reverend Dragon and fulfill your responsibilities.”

“Climb to the top, and when you reach the mountaintop, you have become the wind!”

A majestic voice suddenly rang out on the top of the mountain, like some holy sound pouring into Yasuo’s ears.

Yasuo didn’t say much, but he held the sword tightly in his hands and his eyes suddenly became firm.

……

“That dragon…disappeared again?”

Kassadin looked stunned. The dragon suddenly appeared and then disappeared just as suddenly. What happened in between?

“It seems like the strength in me has returned again.”

Sindra clenched her fists, feeling the energy in her body being mobilized again, her eyes filled with surprise.

“Mine too… What the hell is that thing?”

Xiweier took a deep breath and his face suddenly became solemn.

They are far apart, but even at this distance, the power in their bodies is suppressed… What kind of terrifying existence is this?

“What on earth happened up there?”

“I don’t know… maybe we can only find out after Zhang Xu and the others come down. I hope… I hope they are safe and sound.”

Chapter 313: Should I also be considered a Divine Dragon Venerable?

“Disappeared…disappeared?”

Yasuo was slightly startled, and a puzzled look appeared on his face as he looked at the place where Zhang Xu disappeared. Just now… Zhang Xu suddenly appeared here, and now he suddenly disappeared.

Moreover, the divine dragon Ao Xing also disappeared.

“The Divine Dragon Ao Xing took Zhang Xu away? Where did they go?”

Yasuo frowned and looked at Li Qing: “Zhang Xu should be… okay, right?”

“I am not sure as well.”

Li Qing also frowned. Judging from Ao Xing’s attitude, he didn’t seem to show any disgust towards Zhang Xu.

He couldn’t understand why Zhang Xu, a guy who disrespected the dragon, was not punished.

But Yasuo didn’t think so much, he was just concerned about Zhang Xu’s safety. After all, he had already promised Zhang Xu that he would follow Zhang Xu in the future. If something happened to Zhang Xu, wouldn’t it be a waste of his psychological struggle and his promise before?

……

Zhang Xu returned to the spiritual realm again, feeling the power of the storm around him suddenly become much more violent, and a trace of helplessness appeared on Zhang Xu’s face.

No, buddy, next time before you kick me out or pull me in, can you please let me know so that I can be mentally prepared?

You’ve made me like your toy, coming when you want me to and going when you want me to.

“That gifted human is pretty good, more gifted than you.”

Ao Xing’s holy voice resounded in Zhang Xu’s mind. He didn’t know if it was Zhang Xu’s illusion, but he always felt that Ao Xing’s words seemed to contain…a joke?

A being of the same level as Aurelion Sol shouldn’t have such emotions that are inconsistent with his status, right?

“That human is the most talented person I have ever met. He can perfectly carry my power, even surpassing another Divine Dragon Master.”

“And you… I can’t sense any talent in you, any talent that can carry my power.”

Hearing this, Zhang Xu’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch twice.

It’s really my fault that I failed to satisfy you, Lord Ao Xing!

But sorry, my magic talent is just like this – it can’t be said to be bad, but it is much worse than those heroes in the League of Legends. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so much time later, and his mastery of magic would still be stagnant.

Zhang Xu shrugged, feeling slightly disappointed but not too lost.

If he followed his original intention, he would definitely hit Storm Dragon Ao Xing hard and steal his storm power. However, when he saw Ao Xing and learned what kind of existence he was, he naturally no longer had this idea.

This is equivalent to saying that he did not gain anything from this trip – after all, Ao Xing’s meaning was very clear. He did not have this kind of talent, so he could not bear his storm power.

Of course, it can’t be said that there was no gain at all.

At least Yasuo has received Ao Xing’s blessing and has become a true Dragon Lord. When Yasuo undergoes the Shurima Ascension Ceremony in the future, this guy’s strength will definitely make him the top existence in the entire Rune Continent.

Zhang Xu had no doubt about this, as he had already verified the power of the dragon on Li Qing.

Although he still couldn’t make any waves in front of him, the strength he displayed was enough to fight against weaker ascenders.

“but–“

Just when Zhang Xu had given up without any hope, Ao Xing’s holy voice suddenly rang out.

What is it not?

Why don’t you continue talking?!

Don’t speak half-sentences!

Zhang Xu waited for a long time and found that Ao Xing just said “however” and then…that was it!

Zhang Xu’s interest was piqued, but Ao Xing was only halfway through his words and he couldn’t force Ao Xing to continue, so he could only stand there with a constipated expression on his face.

Ao Xing raised his dragon head slightly, and his huge eyes stared at Zhang Xu quietly. There was a hint of… hesitation in the depths of his eyes?

He is thinking.

Judging from Zhang Xu’s talent, he is totally unworthy of becoming a Dragon Lord – even though he has reached the top and his moral character is acceptable. But no talent means no talent, and this is a flaw.

But Zhang Xu has the power of Aurelion in his body.

This means that Zhang Xu is the only human chosen by Aurelion in the entire Runeterra.

Maybe Aurelion just thought it was fun and did it casually, but it was a fact that Zhang Xu possessed the power of the Dragon King. And in the entire Runeland, only Zhang Xu possessed the purest power of Aurelion.

For Zhang Xu, Ao Xing’s pause was long enough, but for Ao Xing, this short period of time was just a blink of an eye.

Ao Xing gently exhaled a breath of dragon. Under his deliberate control, the gushing dragon breath did not sweep into a violent storm. The range was well controlled within a few inches in front of Zhang Xu.

“If Aurelion chose you, then… so did I.”
