Chapter 587 The Dragon Gathering Begins!
Seeing that they had both brought out their treasures, the Dragon King of the East Sea and Ye Ru exchanged a glance and said:
"In that case, it's settled."
"The Dragon Gathering starts this afternoon, right? Then I'll take my leave now."
The West Sea Dragon King stood up and swaggered away, followed closely by the other two Dragon Kings.
The once bustling Dragon Palace was now empty except for Ye Ru and the Dragon King of the East Sea. Seeing Ye Ru remain silent, the latter couldn't help but speak:
"Can we win? Our Dragon Palace's literary gathering is a little different from your human race's literary gathering."
"We have a crucial battle, the Dragon Fight, which means you'll be fighting against other people. You're just a scholar, while they are all heroes."
These words made Ye Ru fall into deep thought, and then he said:
"Did they ever fight against the great Confucian scholars?"
This question stumped the Dragon King of the East Sea, who then shook his head: "What a joke! What level is a Great Confucian Scholar? He is second only to the Four Great Dragon Kings."
"Have they ever fought against a demigod?"
Ye Ru continued.
"No."
The Dragon King of the East Sea was completely bewildered; he didn't know why Ye Ru was saying all this.
"I went to the Palace of Death Warriors with Wen Xiang and Senior Long Hai before, and fought against a great Confucian scholar named Qian Ren."
Ye Ru smiled, his words were plain, but anyone could hear the pride in them.
Although Ye Ru only played a supporting role, the other party was still a great Confucian scholar.
This achievement is enough for him to look down on the other dragons.
"You've fought against a great Confucian scholar?"
The Dragon King of the East Sea stared wide-eyed, his heart filled with shock.
If that's really the case, then the other party isn't arrogant; perhaps they truly have something to rely on.
"In that case, we'll have to rely on you this time. After all, we're fighting for the Dragon Tempering Pool for you this time."
The Dragon King of the East Sea suppressed his shock and nodded.
"Yeah, I'll try my best."
"Let's go then, to the location of the Dragon Society."
After the Dragon King of the East Sea finished speaking, he headed towards the place where the Dragon Assembly was held.
At this moment, the Dragon Platform was already packed with people, with countless shrimp soldiers and crab generals guarding various places. In the shadows, there were also many dragon spies.
After Ye Ru went inside, he felt as if he had been seen through.
"This is the Dragon Platform of our East Sea Dragon Palace, which contains countless secrets, but we have not yet unearthed them."
"This is actually a nice place."
Ye Ru looked up and saw the azure water floating above him, with countless precious marine animals swimming around, creating a serene scene.
The dragon platform was extremely magnificent, almost large enough to accommodate the entire dragon race.
After all, among the dragons, the Four Seas Dragon Clan controls the four oceans, and the seabed is vast, so there is never any fighting over it.
Moreover, they possess numerous treasures, making them arguably the wealthiest of the four races.
"Let's go inside the stands first."
The Dragon King of the East Sea led Ye Ru to the stands, where they waited for the Dragon Gathering to begin.
Time passed steadily, and finally, the drums thundered in unison, creating a lively scene, with countless shouts echoing in all directions.
Amid the noise, the other three Dragon Kings gradually entered the venue.
Behind them stood three handsome young men with an air of arrogance.
These three young men were similar in appearance to Ye Ru, but they were all dressed in fine clothes and exuded aristocratic air in every gesture.
"Those three are the crown princes of the other three great dragon palaces. Their literary talent and strength are among the best in the world."
"The one in the South China Sea Dragon Palace is named Long Xin. He once led three thousand dragon soldiers to kill eight thousand demons, which shocked the entire Four Seas Dragon Palace."
"And that one from the North Sea Dragon Palace is named Long Xiao. He is proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and his strength is also quite remarkable. Back then, he changed his appearance and participated in the imperial examination, and he actually passed the examination and became a Jinshi."
"The one from the West Sea Dragon Palace is named Long Dao. He is the strongest and most talented among the three. Even if Long Xiao and Long Xin were combined, they would probably only be about the same as Long Dao. Therefore, Long Dao's strength is far superior to that of Long Xin and Long Xiao."
Taking a deep breath, the Dragon King of the East Sea told Ye Ru everything. The latter nodded, a solemn expression on his face. If that was really the case, then the other party's strength was basically on par with that of a human scholar.
Among them, Long Xin's strength should be the weakest. Just be careful of Long Dao.
As Ye Ru looked at the dragon, the latter was also looking at him. It seemed that he had already heard about the introduction of the West Sea Dragon King. He stopped and looked at Ye Ru, his lips moving as if he was saying something:
"Your East Sea is destined to lose this Dragon Gathering. Even if you were invited here, I will make you go back to where you came from."
These words were inaudible to others, but they were exceptionally clear to Ye Ru.
Upon hearing this, Ye Ru simply smiled, then extended his thumb, rotated it 180 degrees, and finally pointed it downwards with a sharp motion.
Seeing Long Dao's gloomy expression, Ye Ru curled his lips into a mocking smile, then turned his head away, no longer looking at him.
This scene infuriated Long Dao, his face turning icy cold. He lowered his head and said in a chilling voice:
"You just wait. If I don't make you lose face in this Dragon Gathering, I'll change my name!"
Long Xin and Long Xiao, who were nearby, also noticed Long Dao's anger. For a moment, they looked up curiously at Ye Ru in the distant stands, and then shook their heads.
This guy is too arrogant in front of Longdao.
"Dragon King of the East Sea, do you still remember my previous agreement? Now it's up to these four little ones."
The Dragon King of the North Sea stroked his beard and said with a smile, but this smile gave people an extremely cold feeling.
"I really wonder what your expression will be if you lose."
"The Dragon King of the West Sea said sarcastically."
"Rest assured, although my East Sea Dragon Palace is currently weak, I have never gone back on my word. If I lose, I will not use this Dragon Tempering Pool for three years. If you lose, the Dragon Tempering Pool and those two treasures will all belong to my East Sea Dragon Palace."
The Dragon King of the East Sea nodded, then snorted coldly.
"Alright, time is running out, the Dragon Gathering can begin."
The Dragon King of the West Sea pondered for a moment, then raised his head and looked at the Dragon King of the East Sea.
"Ah."
After speaking, the Dragon King of the East Sea stood up, looked around, and then coughed.
As the Dragon King of the East Sea coughed, the surrounding noise gradually subsided and eventually disappeared completely.
"Today is the East Sea Dragon Gathering. According to the rules of previous years, each Dragon Palace will select a representative to participate in the literary gathering, and the winner will become the king."
"I hereby declare the Dragon Gathering officially open!"
