X-Dragon Era-Chapter 723 - s 508-509: In Full Swing_3
In the entire world, aside from Xin Yun, Yi Luo Xiang, and Yan Qingying, definitely no third person knew exactly what had happened. In fact... everything that happened today was something the trio of Xin Yun had been anticipating for who knew how long, and without a doubt, this was the best opportunity to enhance Yi Luo Xiang's strength!
At first, Yi Luo Xiang immobilized Cang Mang with a Soul Lash, followed immediately by the Purple and Green Emperors shattering the Sha Long's body. Although they didn't manage to harm the Sha Long in the slightest, Cang Mang suffered a severe blow to his soul!
After successfully crushing the Sha Long, Yi Luo Xiang probed full speed using the Soul Ripple. Before the Sha Long could reconstitute, she found the grain of sand where Cang Mang's soul resided, thereby securing the victory!
One could say, in the entire process, this step was the most critical. If they couldn't detect the grain of sand where Cang Mang's soul resided swiftly enough, once the Sha Long reformed, they would have to start all over again. Moreover... after suffering a setback once, whether the same tactic would still be effective was indeed a question.
Initially, Yi Luo Xiang hadn't found it straight away; the grain of sand housing Cang Mang's soul was very well hidden and not so easily discoverable. Fortunately... Yi Luo Xiang had other Soul System battle techniques. A Soul Impact disrupted the Sha Long's intention to congeal and scattered the grains of sand once more, delaying the Sha Long's reconstitution.
Yet even then, the situation remained extremely dangerous. It was only at the last moment, right before the Sha Long could coalesce, that Yi Luo Xiang suddenly discovered the grain of sand containing Cang Mang's soul.
Next, Yi Luo Xiang instantly released the Ghost Butterfly to take control of the forming Sha Long, then, in a stroke of genius, she cast Soul Chain!
As of today, Yi Luo Xiang had reached the crystal tier and, by rights, she could enslave four creatures. Yet up to that point, she hadn't done so. The reason behind that was to prepare for today. Seizing this opportunity, Yi Luo Xiang directly captured the second-ranked Sha Long.
One must understand that it was a being stronger and with greater potential than any Wild Dragon. It can be said... if Yi Luo Xiang could successfully capture the Sha Long, it was as though she had directly taken control of the second-highest ranked prowess under her command. Of course... Cang Mang would recover, but by then, there would be two dragons with completely identical abilities and battle techniques in this world!
The target of the Soul Chain wasn't the Sha Long. One must understand... at this moment, the Sha Long was under the control of the Ghost Butterfly. Yi Luo Xiang chose Cang Mang and, upon connecting, intercepted all of Cang Mang's commands to the Sha Long, preventing any from reaching its body.
Afterward, Yi Luo Xiang launched Soul Severing with all her might. In a short period, she caused him to lose consciousness and completely lose control over the Sha Long. As a result... with the Ghost Butterfly inhabiting it, the Sha Long awakened the hidden conscious potential deep within its body, forming a virtual Soul System, essentially similar to a human's somnambulistic state.
Since a virtual consciousness exists, naturally, there is a virtual soul. Thus... Yi Luo Xiang promptly executed Soul Enslavement. Before Cang Mang regained consciousness, she directly stripped away ownership of the Death Sand Dragon!

It might sound mystical, but in fact, Yi Luo Xiang had plundered the body of the Death Sand Dragon, then replicated a copy of Cang Mang's knowledge. When Cang Mang would recover in the future, the world would have an additional clone of the Death Sand Dragon, possessing exactly the same abilities and battle techniques.
Of course, there were differences. Here, the difference lies in the Ghost Butterfly. After all... the soul of the Death Sand Dragon is virtual. To maintain it, the Ghost Butterfly simply could not be taken back anymore. As a result... Yi Luo Xiang relied on the Ghost Butterfly as the core to control the Death Sand Dragon.
As of today, Yi Luo Xiang should have been able to release four Ghost Butterfly clones, but now... one spot had been taken up by the Death Sand Dragon. Therefore, in the future, she would be able to control a maximum of three targets at the same time. Although there was a loss, acquiring the Death Sand Dragon was undeniably a huge gain.
Even though Death Sand Dragons were numerous and not rare, each Death Sand Dragon was different. Whether it's their abilities or battle techniques, or their special talents or style, all were completely unique. And Cang Mang's Death Sand Dragon was, without a doubt... the strongest! It was the king among all Sand Dragons!
Take for example, Yi Luo Xiang also had two Emperor Sword Dragons. However, in reality... even though both Emperor Sword Dragons had reached crystal Ten Stars, five stars higher than Po Kong, if they really fought, a single Po Kong could destroy a hundred similar Emperor Sword Dragons. Up until now, the Purple and Green Emperors had never been able to play an effective role. For Yi Luo Xiang, they were merely cannon fodder.
But the current Death Sand Dragon was different. If the Death Sand Dragon were released to fight against Po Kong now, the outcome would be no different from a fight between Cang Mang and Po Kong. Plus, with Yi Luo Xiang providing support and strikes from the shadows, it was certain that Po Kong was going to lose. Even if he couldn't be beaten, when the match time was up, the referee would definitely rule Po Kong the loser.
With Cang Mang's defeat, this World Academy Challenge finally came to an end. In the end, the Top Ten rankings had been sorted out. From highest to lowest, they were — Xin Yun, Po Kong, Ming Xuan, Yi Luo Xiang, Yan Qingying, Cang Mang, An Xi, Saint Light, Mo Dun, and Ka Ka. Just in terms of rankings, a huge change had occurred compared to the last time.
The first major change was Xin Yun. Last time, Xin Yun had not participated in the competition. Now, suddenly coming in at the top, he had pushed everyone else down a place. The only unchanged one, it seemed, was Ming Xuan at third. Looking at the ranking chart for a long time without speaking, Xin Yun wondered if destiny was indeed a thing. Was Ming Xuan destined to be the perpetual third?
Besides Xin Yun, Po Kong also felt quite wronged, dropping from the top to second place. However, relatively speaking, it was much better than Cang Mang's fall. No matter how you looked at it, Po Kong had only dropped one place, but Cang Mang plummeted from second to sixth! Who could make sense of that?
The next changes were Yi Luo Xiang and Yan Qingying, leaping from sixth and seventh to fourth and fifth place respectively. And from Cang Mang down, although their rankings changed, their hierarchy remained the same — the high remained high, and the low stayed low. Although the method behind the ranking order was unknown, without a doubt, it was very effective. Such rankings might not be completely accurate, but they were mostly spot on. (To be continued.
