Urban Wolf King

Although Wang Yan's Demon Pattern was a dragon, he had never seen a real dragon in his life.

Legend said dragons were Barbaric Divine Beasts that had vanished in recent ages, never to appear again; he hadn't expected to actually see one with his own eyes today.

The giant dragon circled once in the sky, then twisted its head and dove straight down toward where Wang Yan stood.

As the dragon descended, Wang Yan's heart jolted, because the dragon before his eyes was unimaginably huge—its head alone was like a mountain peak, not to mention that majestic dragon body.

With the dragon's swoop, a fierce gale blasted straight at Wang Yan; the big trees behind him all toppled backward, and Wang Yan felt as if he were about to be blown up into the sky.

Though his cultivation was completely sealed, Wang Yan's fighting spirit remained. Facing the howling wind, his eyes snapped open, his feet dug in, his whole body tensed, straining to withstand the force.

When the giant dragon came right up to him, the gale had reached its peak; the giant tree behind Wang Yan was almost snapped in two, yet he still stood firmly where he was.

Just as the dragon arrived before Wang Yan, the fierce wind suddenly vanished; the giant dragon transformed into a middle‑aged man and landed in front of Wang Yan.

With the pressure gone from his body, Wang Yan instantly felt weak and sore all over, as if he had just gone through a great battle, and he almost slumped to the ground on the spot.

Even so, Wang Yan still grit his teeth and forced himself to stand there.

Seeing that Wang Yan could keep standing, the man formed from the dragon's body had a trace of imperceptible approval flash through his eyes. He asked Wang Yan, "What's your name?"

Wang Yan hurriedly replied, "Lord Divine Dragon, this junior's name is Wang Yan."

The True Dragon's human form nodded and said, "No need to call me lord. My name is Dark Dragon; just call me by my name."

Seeing Dark Dragon's gentle expression, Wang Yan felt secretly relieved and quickly asked, "Senior Dark Dragon, may I ask why my cultivation is gone?"

Dark Dragon smiled faintly and said, "Now that you are here, you are to undergo a trial. Once you complete it, not only will your cultivation be restored, you'll also obtain a tremendous opportunity."

"Could it really be to become invincible under heaven?" Wang Yan asked in delight.

"Invincible under heaven?" Dark Dragon gave a light laugh. "You could put it that way."

While the two were speaking, since Dark Dragon had already taken human form, the massive waves in the sea subsided as well. Ying Zheng finally escaped from the surf and crawled back from the water.

He had just crawled ashore when he heard what Dark Dragon was saying to Wang Yan; he'd completely missed the earlier part, and the only words he actually caught were the "invincible under heaven" spoken by the dragon's human form.

Ying Zheng had come here precisely to obtain a great opportunity and become invincible under heaven. Seeing Wang Yan chatting so amiably with Dark Dragon, how could he be willing to accept that?

So, like a drowned dog—no, to be precise, even worse than a dog—Ying Zheng rushed over at once, ran up to Dark Dragon, and bowed repeatedly, saying, "Lord Dark Dragon, I was the first to arrive in the Celestial Divine Realm. This opportunity should belong to me."

Just moments ago Dark Dragon had been all smiles with Wang Yan, but as soon as he saw Ying Zheng, his expression turned cold, and he said icily, "If you want this opportunity, you'd better live long enough to take it."

Hearing this, Ying Zheng was startled. "You mean, before we obtain the opportunity, this trial could even cost us our lives?"

Dark Dragon said with disdain, "This opportunity is deep and boundless in its blessings. How could the trial be simple?"

Realizing Dark Dragon treated him very differently from Wang Yan, Ying Zheng was furious inside, yet didn't dare show it in front of Dark Dragon. He probed cautiously, "May I ask what this trial is?"

Dark Dragon pointed ahead and said, "There are hundreds of millions of living beings here. I'll give you one year. By any means you like, make those hundreds of millions bow to you. Whoever has the most subjects in the end will be the victor."

Hearing this, Wang Yan and Ying Zheng both nodded inwardly.

Dark Dragon went on, "After one year, I'll come find you again. But within this year, the three of you are not allowed to make a move against one another. Otherwise, you will be punished."

With that, Dark Dragon waved his hand and stepped back. In the next instant, he appeared above the sea, then dove headfirst into the waves, disappearing from sight.

"Three of us?" At Dark Dragon's last words, both Wang Yan and Ying Zheng were stunned. There were clearly only two of them here—who was the third?

All of a sudden, Wang Yan and Ying Zheng turned toward the dense forest behind them at the same time, and almost in unison they said, "Come out."

They then saw a man with a gloomy face slowly walk out from within the forest.

Seeing this man, Wang Yan's brows furrowed.

The man who had emerged from the forest was none other than Little Wolf.

Wang Yan had originally told Little Wolf to stay in the South Sea, yet he hadn't expected Little Wolf to appear here.

Even if Little Wolf had been accidentally sucked in here, why hadn't he shown himself all this time? Only after Dark Dragon exposed him did he come out.

In that instant, a trace of wariness had already taken root in Wang Yan's heart, though his face remained utterly calm.

At this moment, after seeing Wang Yan, Little Wolf didn't dare meet Wang Yan's eyes. He lowered his head, walked straight up to Wang Yan, and respectfully called out, "Master."

Then he folded his hands and stood behind Wang Yan.

Wang Yan's face showed no expression at all; he only answered lightly, "Mm."

Upon seeing Little Wolf, Ying Zheng's face first darkened.

He hadn't been confident about snatching this opportunity from Wang Yan to begin with; now that Little Wolf was added to the mix, Wang Yan had two against his one, and his chances of winning became even slimmer.

But when Ying Zheng noticed Little Wolf's odd behavior, a gleam flashed through his eyes.

Though he didn't know what had happened between Little Wolf and Wang Yan, Ying Zheng was a hero among men, adept at reading faces and moods.

From Little Wolf's performance, Ying Zheng had already understood that a rift had formed between Little Wolf and Wang Yan.

Just then, Wang Yan had already turned and started walking toward the depths of the forest, and Little Wolf immediately followed behind.

Wang Yan himself had little interest in becoming invincible under heaven, but he absolutely could not allow Ying Zheng to obtain this opportunity.

If Ying Zheng truly became invincible under heaven, the whole world would likely be plunged into misery. He and everyone from Mozi Academy would be the first to bear the brunt of it, all dying beneath Ying Zheng's hand.

Moreover, the final outcome wouldn't be decided until a year later, and Wang Yan was still worried about the outside world.

After all, the Underworld was set to launch its attack in half a year. Although Wu Ancestor Li had gone back to organize the armies to resist, there was no telling whether they could hold out for half a year.

Thus Wang Yan had to settle this as quickly as possible, so he could leave this Celestial Divine Realm sooner.

Seeing Wang Yan stride away, Ying Zheng also followed after him.

Since the three of them couldn't fight one another, it was actually safest for Ying Zheng to stick close to Wang Yan right now.

So Ying Zheng intended to follow Wang Yan step by step, looking for chances to sabotage him.

The three of them walked forward in silence.

Right now all three had no cultivation, and none of them had any idea how they were supposed to rule the hundreds of millions of beings in the Celestial Divine Realm.

Nor did they know what level of cultivation those hundreds of millions of beings in the Celestial Divine Realm possessed.

The three traveled for several days, threading their way through the dense forest, without encountering a single person.

Several days later, when they reached the edge of the forest, they suddenly heard earth‑shaking shouts of killing echoing from beyond the trees.
