"For this selection, the Azure Dragon Tribe is really bleeding!"
Yang Tian said with a smile after reading the 'manual' at an extremely fast speed.
The selection was divided into two parts.
The first was to choose the Dragon Ancestor's successor. This was a test of individual combat strength.
Thinking of the strongest dragon in the Dragon Tribe, Yang Tian could not help but think of the destruction of Zhao Ji King's Zhao Ji Island.
A dragon claw came down and the entire island was shattered.
In the end, Zhao Ji King had to hide in fear of being hunted down by the Dragon Tribe.
If there was such a powerful dragon in the Dragon Tribe, Yang Tian and the Little Blue Dragon would not have the qualifications to compete at all.
Fortunately, the selection process was not simply a test of each dragon's current combat strength.
The current Dragon Ancestor, in other words, the king of the Dragon Tribe, still had a very long lifespan, at least a few hundred years!
And this selection process would also last for a few hundred years.
In such a long time, the Dragon Tribe would open many resource-rich mystic realms. If they were lucky, they could obtain the resources in the mystic realms and rapidly improve their realm.
In other words, even a newborn dragon could participate in this competition. If they were lucky, it would not be strange for them to grow into the strongest dragon in the Dragon Tribe in these few hundred years.
To humans, a few hundred years was a long period of time.
A dynasty was born and then destroyed.
However, to dragons, a few hundred years was just the time for an ordinary human to smoke a cigarette or watch a movie.
Because it was a competition for the Dragon Tribe's king, the selection process was very cruel. The slightest carelessness could lead to death.
If one's combat strength was too low, they would be eliminated in the first round and would be finished before luck came.
Also, not all dragons could participate in this competition. This competition had an age limit.
The strange program calculated the time for Yang Tian. Only those who were less than thirty thousand years old could participate in the competition for the Dragon Ancestor's position.
Otherwise, this competition was completely unnecessary. There were many old dragons living in the same era as the Dragon Ancestor.
Any one of these elder-level dragons had terrifying combat strength. It was estimated that even a hundred Little Blue Dragons combined would not be a match for them.
The Beast Tribe was different from humans. The Beast Tribe wanted to be young and strong. They chose a young king who could live for a long time.
This way, the dragon race could maintain a long period of peace.
If one old guy died and another old guy came, it wouldn't be long before they had to choose again. The internal strife would exhaust the Dragon Clan.
There was also a limit to the number of people who could compete for the position of the Dragon Ancestor.
There were 300 upper-level dragons, 500 mid-level dragons, and 800 low-level dragons.
There were a total of 4,800 slots for the nine dragon clans.
The allocation of the slots was reasonable because the resources that the three ranks of the Dragon Clan received were different.
It was only right for the Dragon Clan, which had obtained fewer resources, to obtain more slots.
There were nine dragon tribes, and the first dragon tribe had a few hundred slots. It seemed like a lot, but the chances of being selected among hundreds of thousands of dragons were very small.
The reason why Yang Tian said that the Azure Dragon Clan was bleeding profusely was naturally because the rewards for participating in the Dragon Ancestor competition were very high.
As long as one obtained the qualifications to participate in the Dragon Ancestor Contest, one could enter the Azure Dragon Realm to cultivate for a period of time.
The Azure Dragon Realm was a space constructed with talisman formations. Time flowed a hundred times faster than outside, and it provided countless beast cores and pills.
Dragons who had entered the Azure Dragon Realm could continuously absorb energy to strengthen themselves during the time they were cultivating in the Azure Dragon Realm until they could no longer contain it.
Seeing this, Yang Tian's eyes widened. He was very suspicious of the amount of beast cores and pills stored in the Azure Dragon Realm.
This was because there were two energy worlds in Yang Tian's body, the Original Realm and the newly constructed Insect Origin Realm.
Even Yang Tian couldn't estimate the energy capacity of these two energy worlds …
As for the Little Blue Dragon, strictly speaking, it should belong to the Golden Dragon Clan. It was just that it had disguised itself extremely well.
The energy world in its body was also boundlessly large. Its capacity for energy was also very large.
If Yang Tian and the Little Blue Dragon were placed in the Azure Dragon Realm, would there be any beast cores and pills left in the Azure Dragon Realm in the end?
When Yang Tian thought of this, he couldn't help but chuckle.
The current Dragon Ancestor of the Black Dragon Clan had made the Azure Dragon Clan suffer enough. The Azure Dragon Clan was determined to win this competition.
Since the Azure Dragon Clan had done this, the other dragon clans naturally wouldn't be willing to be left behind. They would also open the secret realms of their clans.
This was because the Black Dragon Clan had used this method in the previous competition for the position of Dragon Ancestor. They had used the resources collected by their entire clan over countless years to create a few powerful Black Dragons.
The Black Dragon Clan had succeeded. In these hundreds of thousands of years, the Black Dragon Clan had also reaped great rewards.
Other than the competition for the position of Dragon Ancestor, there was also the competition for the ranking of the dragon clans.
This was a competition of group strength.
Every dragon from every dragon clan could participate. In the end, the number of dragons that passed the test would determine the dragon clans' ranking.
For the Azure Dragon Clan, this situation was quite serious. This was because the ranking test wasn't strict. Most dragons had a chance of passing.
The Azure Dragon Clan was currently the dragon clan with the fewest members apart from the Golden Dragon Clan.
Unless they could increase the difficulty of the test.
One had to know that compared to the other dragon clans, the Azure Dragon Clan was second only to the Golden Dragon Clan in terms of individual combat strength.
If the difficulty was increased, no matter how many other dragon clans there were, they wouldn't be a match for the Azure Dragon Clan.
However, it was obvious that the Azure Dragon Clan couldn't change the difficulty of the test.
After closing the "instruction manual," Yang Tian and the Little Blue Dragon began to wait quietly.
The Little Blue Dragon took out the leaves of the World Tree and gnawed on them. Yang Tian took out a large pile of yellow stones and runes and began to carve.
For the upcoming competition for the position of Dragon Ancestor, Yang Tian had to start preparing.
Some useful rune arrays had to be created.
For example, rune arrays that could conceal one's aura and figure, as well as short distance teleportation rune arrays. These two rune arrays needed to be prepared in large quantities.
Soon, there was only the sound of the Little Blue Dragon gnawing on the leaves of the World Tree left in the room.
There was also the rustling sound of Yang Tian carving on the yellow stones with his rune pen.
…
Time passed day by day.
Places where intelligent life forms gathered would have a concept of time.
The Dragon Field had timekeeping tools made by humans.
Because dragons lived for a long time, the shortest unit of time in the Dragon Field was called the "Yan Hour," which was about half an hour.
The unit of time longer than the Yan Hour was the "Yuanshi," which was equivalent to more than three days on Earth.
The unit of time longer than the Yuanshi was the "Megahour," which was about one and a half years on Earth. Then there was the "Yao Hour," which was equivalent to more than twenty years on Earth.
If one stayed in the Dragon Field for a long time, it wouldn't be a problem to accept this time system. However, for a wandering cultivator like Yang Tian, it was meaningless.
The clock outside rang, and the strange program reported the time for Yang Tian.
After signing up, they waited for more than a month.
Yang Tian and the Little Blue Dragon's jade tokens finally lit up with red light.
"Xiao Long, it's starting …"
Yang Tian said lightly and put a large pile of yellow stones into his storage bracelet.
The Little Blue Dragon stuffed the half-eaten leaf of the World Tree into its mouth and jumped onto Yang Tian's shoulder.
Yang Tian walked to the window and looked outside.
At this time, the light outside was much dimmer, and blue light was shining everywhere.
It was the light of the teleportation rune array.
A large number of Azure Dragons were lining up to enter the array.
Yang Tian went downstairs and walked out of the attic to the nearest teleportation array.
At this time, all the teleportation arrays in the Dragon Field were heading to the same place.
After waiting for half an hour, Yang Tian finally got on the teleportation array.
When the blue light disappeared, what appeared in front of Yang Tian's eyes were all dragons, dragons of various colors.
Whether in the sky or on the ground, he couldn't see the end of them.
The Little Blue Dragon jumped off Yang Tian's shoulder and turned into an Azure Dragon more than ten meters long.
Yang Tian stretched his neck before his body rotated and turned into an Azure Dragon that was the same size as the little Azure Dragon.
After the Little Blue Dragon and Yang Tian finished transforming, they both put their jade tokens in their mouths.
From now on, the jade tokens couldn't leave their mouths. If they left their mouths, they would fail.
The first round was a test of speed and the strength of their bodies.
Millions of dragons were about to fly toward the dot of light ahead.
If they wanted to compete for a ranking, they had to fly as fast as they could and knock away all the dragons in front of them.
Before it started, the nine dragon tribes were already on the move.
The teleportation was random and chaotic. Those dragons who weren't strong individually, such as the White Dragon Tribe and the Red Dragon Tribe, had to gather in groups.
They would split off a portion to block the other dragons, such as the Golden Dragon Tribe and the Azure Dragon Tribe …
At this time, numbers were the advantage.
