    “Since you’ve already fought, I’ll convince you.”

    David finished speaking, and the dragon crystal on his chest began to shimmer. Rays of golden light erupted, and soon, behind David, a phantom of a golden dragon slowly solidified.

    “Roar…”

    A dragon’s roar shook everyone present, and many of the weaker Imperial Guards fell to the ground.

    Gazing at the gradually solidifying golden dragon, Ao Lie was stunned.

    His dragon bloodline, so proud of him, now seemed a joke before David.

    Not only was David of dragon bloodline, but he was also the most noble of the Golden Dragons.

    Ao Lie prostrated himself before David, his eyes filled with submission: “I surrender. I am willing to follow Mr. Chen’s lead…”

    This time, Ao Lie’s submission was genuine.

    Even Zi Yuan, looking at David’s golden dragon phantom, gaped in shock, speechless for a long time.

    In the martial arts arena, the phantom of a golden dragon circled in the sky, its roar resonating through the air, its aftermath rippling in all directions.

    The Imperial Guards, who had previously mocked David, now prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling, their eyes filled with utter awe.

    Ao Liey sprawled on the ck iron stone floor, his cyan dragon scales dulled, his shattered wings drooping helplessly. As he gazed upon the resplendent golden dragon phantom, thest shred of resentment vanished.

    As a half-dragon, he knew firsthand the dignity and power of the Golden Dragon bloodline. This deep-seated repression, leaving him unable to even raise his head.

    “Mr. Chen… Ao Lie was blind and offended your dignity earlier. Please forgive me, sir!”

    Ao Lie’s voice was hoarse, his forehead pressed to the ground, his tone filled with submission.

    David waved his hand, and the glow of the dragon crystal on his chest dimmed. The golden dragon’s shadow slowly dissipated, and the pressure on the martial arts arena faded. He

    walked up to Ao Lie and spoke calmly, “The Divine Kingdom and I are in a cooperative rtionship. We have no intention of deliberately humiliating anyone. But if you continue to hold us in contempt, how can we work together to face the Demonic Soul Crisis in the future?”

    “Ao Lie understands!” Ao Lie looked up suddenly, his eyes no longer filled with arrogance, only determination. “From now on, if Mr. Chenmands me, Ao Lie will fight to the death! The entire Imperial Guard will obey Mr. Chen’s orders!” The

    surrounding Imperial Guards echoed in unison, shouting “At Mr. Chen’smand” in a resounding, unified voice that echoed across the martial arts arena.

    Zi Yuan stepped forward, looking at David with unconcealed amazement. “Fellow Daoist Chen is a hidden talent, possessing the bloodline of the Golden Dragon. No wonder he’s so formidable.”

    David smiled, but said nothing more.

    He knew full well that the reveal of the Golden Dragon bloodline would shock the Divine Nation far more than a single victory.

    In a world where strength and bloodline were paramount, a noble bloodline often signified a deeper foundation and greater potential. This would solidify his partnership with the Divine Nation and reduce obstacles to the subsequent investigation into the Thunder Sound Bell.

    News of the martial arts arena spread like wildfire, spreading throughout the Divine Capital in less than half a day.

    “Have you heard? A tough guy has appeared in the martial arts arena! A First-Rank Earth Immortal haspletely defeated Commander Ao Lie, and in the end, he even manifested a golden dragon phantom!”

    “Golden Dragon Bloodline? That’s the legendary top-tier bloodline! No wonder Commander Ao is so defeated. If it were me, I wouldn’t even have the courage to fight.”

    “I heard that man’s name is David, a distinguished guest personally invited by the King. He wants to cooperate with our Divine Kingdom to investigate the Thunder Sound Bell!”

    “With the help of a powerful person with Golden Dragon Bloodline, maybe we can actually recover the Thunder Sound Bell and prevent the demonic spirit from emerging!”

    In teahouses, taverns, and on the streets, discussions about David were everywhere.

    The depressing atmosphere in the Divine Capital, which had been filled with the theft of the Thunder Sound Bell, was given a boost of hope by David’s appearance.

    Even the Divine Kingdom’s nobles were seeking information about David, hoping to befriend this powerful person with Golden Dragon Bloodline.
