Chapter 524 Tower of the Sky

“Is there…someone?”

Long Ningyan was also confused. How could there be a person sitting on the leader of the wild desert dragonfly tribe?

Then, Long Ningyan quickly realized that the only person who came to the Dragon Cave for the trial today should be Su Hao. Although it is possible that it was someone else, it is also very unlikely.

When other Dragon Guardians were about to attack intruders riding non-Dragon Lair mount Pokémon according to the rules, they commanded their Pokémon to use moves to stop the intruder first and then interrogate him.

"Tsk, stop it!" Long Tianxing, who looked unhappy, suddenly reached out to stop their movements, and then looked over there with deep eyes, "The tester who completed the first trial is here. Take note, tester Su Hao, it took...two hours and fifty minutes."

".......yes!"

The person in charge of registering the trial participants didn't understand why the trial was completed before anyone came to register.

He chose to listen to Long Tianxing and wrote it down in the log book with a shocked expression.

[On October 2023, 10, this year’s trialist No. 23, Su Hao, completed the first stage of the qualification trial, which took...two hours and fifty minutes]

However, looking up from the bottom of the record book, no one's trial lasted less than one day, and most of them barely made it within half a month.

...........

"Oi, Senior Sister Long!" Su Hao rolled off the back of the Desert Dragonfly leader who had become extremely obedient. He first greeted Long Ningyan, then glanced at the group of people at the oasis station who were alert, and asked in confusion: "Why are you all so murderous?"

Long Ningyan showed a helpless smile. She didn't know how many times she felt shocked by this junior, and said, "Everyone thought it was a wild Pokémon riot, so they were a little nervous."

"Oh~?" Su Hao nodded in sudden realization, then smiled and said, "They seem to regard me as their leader, and now they are not aggressive at all."

As if to increase the credibility, Su Hao also called the leader of the desert dragonflies over and inspected him from top to bottom several times.

The leader of the Desert Dragonfly could only accept Su Hao's torture with tears in his heart due to the despotic power of Su Hao's luxury ball.

For a moment, everyone in the Yulong Clan was silent. How did Su Hao make the Dragon Overlord in Area B2 so obedient to him?

It's so outrageous.

.............

Long Ningyan looked at the two silent people beside her in surprise. She thought that when Su Hao came back, he would roll up his sleeves and beat Long Tianxing up.

Although Su Hao's strength as a trainer is still inferior to Long Tianxing for the time being, her physical strength alone is at a level where she still feels palpitations after growing up in the environment of the Yulong Clan.

In addition, Su Hao is still a person with special abilities. I'm afraid Long Tianxing will be captured within a few rounds.

However, there was no conflict between the two, and there was no sign of quarreling.

She didn't know what to do.

After a while, Long Tianxing, who led the two of them to the entrance of the dragon cave, crossed his arms and said calmly: "I have to admit that your performance and strength far exceeded my expectations. If I was the one who invited you instead of Bai Bai, Du, maybe I will open the door for you."

"But I will not apologize for any of my actions. If you are dissatisfied, feel free to take revenge and I will continue."

"The premise is... you can get past your father and then snipe me on the road to championship."

Su Hao had a strange expression. If he had thought about it and not practiced martial ethics, he would have kicked the champion out of his own hands.

However, his reserve as a trainer made him decide one thing.

Su Hao pointed at Long Tianxing, with a look of confidence in his eyes: "This day will not be too far away. When the time comes, I will defeat you head-on with a strength that is beyond your reach and make you regret what you did today."

Long Tianxing's steps of leaving paused, a half-smile appeared on his face, and he turned around and said, "Then I'll wait and see. If you can really do it, it's not impossible for me to bow my head and apologize to you."

After Long Tianxing left, Su Hao and Long Ningyan looked at each other and found that the other party was staring at them unblinkingly. They asked strangely: "Senior Sister Long, why are you staring at me?"

"........" Long Ningyan was silent for a moment because of Su Hao's strange emotional intelligence, and sighed: "I just envy your confidence. If it were me, I would definitely not have the confidence to say these words."

Su Hao was a little confused and even felt that Long Ningyan was thinking too much.

He is extremely confident!

The two chatted for a while until Long Ningyan stopped in front of a passage that looked like a cave tunnel and said to Su Hao: "We are here. This is the secret passage called "Dragon Cave"."

Su Hao looked around. Near the seemingly ordinary passage, his waveguide detected at least five fingers of strange and powerful aura.

It looks relaxed, but in fact they are on high alert.

"What's wrong?" Long Ningyan paused as she was about to enter the passage, then turned to look at Su Hao who suddenly stopped in place.

"Nothing." Su Hao shook his head and followed Long Ningyan who continued to move forward.

The next moment, the familiar sense of spatial dislocation and transfer hit me. For an ordinary person, it would probably be more uncomfortable than riding a roller coaster, but Su Hao had already adapted.

After all, he has experienced countless teleportations.

The noisy sound reached his ears, Su Hao slowly opened his eyes, and was immediately shocked by the bizarre scene in front of him.

After passing through the passage, they appeared on an observation deck with an excellent view. Behind them was a quaint town that seemed to have traveled through time and space. People dressed in various costumes lived peacefully in this place.

Looking into the distance through the observation deck, mountains, plains, and lakes come into view, as if it is a self-sufficient small world.

Even the sun, clouds in the sky are no different from the outside world.

"Are you surprised? Many people who come to the Dragon Cave for the first time have the same reaction as you~?7?8" Long Ningyan took a deep breath of the air that was full of nostalgia for her. This is where she grew up, and she always feels especially relaxed when she stays here.

Su Hao sighed, "Yes, it is indeed surprising."

He thought the dragon's lair would be a huge cave, but he didn't expect it to be such a spectacular sight.

However, what surprised him the most was——

In the distance, there is a majestic tower that seems to connect heaven and earth and rises into the clouds.

The upper floors of the tower are covered in spiral clouds that resemble a tornado, and the shock is enough to make one sigh.

This is almost the feeling

Su Hao asked, "What is the name of this tower?"

"The Sky Tower is considered a wonder of the dragon's lair." Long Ningyan introduced it to Su Hao.

Then, as if she remembered something, she reminded him, "That's right, I'll tell you about this in advance."

"The Sky Tower is a spectacular building in the Dragon Cave. The height of the tower seems to reach straight into the sky, and even if we ride on flying Pokémon, we can't break through the fixed height."

"However, what is certain is that we have already touched the edge of the secret realm, and there is nothing there."

"You have to remember that the area around the tower is a restricted area."

"It's okay to pass through the sky, but be sure not to touch the ground. If you cross the line, you will be driven out of the dragon's lair without mercy."
