Dragon Martial Sword Supreme
Chapter 383: Ceremony Concludes
After subduing the Golden Flood Dragon phantom, Zhao Letian once again concentrated his energies and rapidly began absorbing the Dragon Blood Power from the Dragon Transformation Pool.
"Your Highness, given the current situation, this person seems likely to completely drain all of the Dragon Blood Power in the Dragon Transformation Pool."
Outside by the Dragon Transformation Pool, a man dressed in black furrowed his brow tightly, staring at the enormous vortex that covered the entire pool, his eyes filled with a pained expression.
Having managed the Dragon Transformation Pool for decades, he had never seen the Dragon Blood Power in the pool being completely depleted in one go, nor had he seen anyone manage to absorb all the Dragon Blood Power on their own.
"What does it matter if it's all absorbed? In one year's time, the Dragon Transformation Pool will generate enough Dragon Blood Power again."
However, Prince Ye Chenxiao beside him seemed unconcerned.
"True as that may be, aside from that person, the other youngsters today will likely be unable to activate their Bloodline Power, how shall we explain this to their patrons?"
The man in black said with a troubled face.
If it were only three to five people who unexpectedly couldn't activate their Bloodline Power, he could still get away with an excuse, but with so many people collectively unable to activate their Bloodline Power, he was at a loss on how to handle it.
"Explain? Do we need to explain to them? Just say that this year's batch of youngsters don't have the talent and tell them to wait another year. If anyone insists on an explanation, tell them to come talk to me directly."
Ye Chenxiao said coldly with a disdainful smile.
Within the Dajin Royal Family, aside from the Queen and the Crown Prince's faction, Ye Chenxiao feared no one.
It would be better if those people didn't come to him, but if anyone dared to, they were courting death.
"This servant understands."
The man in black nodded.
...
Time silently passed.
Before they knew it, it was dusk.
The red glow of sunset shone into the Dragon Transformation Pool, adding a hint of glamorous red to the pool water.
However, even with the reflection of the sunset, the color of the pool water couldn't compare to when Zhao Letian and the others had first arrived.
When Zhao Letian and his group first arrived, the Dragon Transformation Pool was filled with a very dense Dragon Blood Power, and the color of the water was a thick blood-red, which visibility couldn't penetrate.
But now, the Dragon Blood Power in the water had become very thin, the pool water was almost completely transparent, only traces of faint red Dragon Blood Power were still converging towards Zhao Letian from all directions.
Standing outside the Dragon Transformation Pool, Ye Chenxiao and the man in black could now clearly see Zhao Letian and the others sitting at the bottom of the pool.
Zhao Letian was still diligently absorbing the remaining Dragon Blood Power in the pool water, his body emitting a blood-red glow, his Bloodline Power extremely formidable, and he was about to be fully activated.
However, the group of young men and women were all frowning deeply, their expressions both anxious and angry.
They were well aware that this ceremony of bathing in Dragon Blood to activate Bloodline Power was about to end, and this year, they no longer had a chance to awaken their Bloodline Power.
"Boom!"
"Roar!"
At this moment, Zhao Letian finally absorbed all the Dragon Blood Power in the pool, the blood-red glow on his body peaked in intensity and then suddenly erupted with a powerful Bloodline Power, accompanied by a dragon's roar, lifting all the water in the Dragon Transformation Pool into the air.

"What astonishing Bloodline Power!"
The man in black showed an unprecedented look of shock in his eyes.
He had never seen a member of the Royal Family with Bloodline Power so strong.
"So his Bloodline Power is this formidable, no wonder he has achieved so much despite being born in a remote small town with scarce resources."
Ye Chenxiao gazed at Zhao Letian in the Dragon Transformation Pool, his thoughts complicated.
The richer Zhao Letian's Bloodline Power, the more advantageous it was in dealing with the Crown Prince Ye Zhenxiao.
But at the same time, such a pure Royal Bloodline also posed a threat to Ye Chenxiao.
Under normal circumstances, Zhao Letian, possessing such Bloodline Power, would likely be appointed as the Crown Prince of Dajin Country and eventually inherit the Monarch's position.
Fortunately, Ye Chenxiao, with foresight, had Zhao Letian take a Heavenly Dao Oath in advance not to compete with him for the throne.
However, to be cautious, after eliminating Crown Prince Ye Zhenxiao, it would still be best to find an opportunity to completely eliminate the hidden threat of Zhao Letian.
"Out he comes!"
The man in black suddenly shifted his expression.
Zhao Letian had already retracted the Bloodline Power radiating from his body, stood up, and walked outside. His eyes sparkled brilliantly, appearing to have greatly increased in strength.
However, his complexion seemed somewhat pale, and he looked rather weak.
"Damn it! Who exactly drained all the Dragon Blood Power from the Dragon Transformation Pool?"
"It was him, I saw it. It was that guy who came with second uncle."
"How dare someone from a remote branch compete with us for the Dragon Blood Power? Absolutely ridiculous, I must go back and tell my father to kill him."
The group of young men and women also followed out, their gazes all fixed on Zhao Letian, speaking fiercely.
"Everyone shut up, take action."
Ye Chenxiao's brow furrowed as he coldly rebuked.
"As you command, Master."
The man in black next to him nodded, saying this as a terrifying Divine Thought Power suddenly burst forth, instantly enveloping the group of young men and women, and directly infiltrating their Divine Souls, starting to alter their memories.
"What is he doing?"
Zhao Letian suddenly exclaimed in surprise, giving the man in black a deep look, and asked uncertainly.
"What else? He's cleaning up your mess. If we let them leave directly, do you think you could easily leave the Royal Palace?"
Ye Chenxiao said irritably.
"I see."
Zhao Letian nodded, not particularly caring, nor showing any gratitude.
Because he knew Ye Chenxiao was not helping him, but himself.
"You activated the Bloodline Power in your body, you should be full of vigor and have increased strength, yet why does your face look so pale?"
Ye Chenxiao looked at Zhao Letian carefully, asking in surprise.
"It's nothing, absorbing the Dragon Blood was just too draining."
Zhao Letian said nonchalantly.
The existence of the Golden Flood Dragon phantom, he definitely would not tell anyone, especially not letting members of the Dajin Royal Family know.
"Really?"
Ye Chenxiao mused skeptically.
He had also experienced the baptism of Dragon Blood, but he had not felt much energy drained then.
However, considering the Dragon Blood Power Zhao Letian absorbed was far more than his, perhaps it was really possible that it had overly exhausted his energy.
Thinking this, Ye Chenxiao no longer dwelled on this matter.
Afterward, he left the Dragon Transformation Pool with Zhao Letian, heading straight out of the palace.
