The blood in the pool churned and splashed in every direction, its level rapidly dropping and exposing me, who had been submerged at the bottom. I slowly opened my eyes. When Xiao Xuan and Little Fairy Doctor looked over and met my gaze, they were immediately startled.
As my eyelids opened and closed, a beam of golden light, as tangible as a brilliant ribbon, shot violently from my eyes. Looking closer, my pupils were golden, like those of a snake, accompanied by a faint dragon's might.
I leaped out of the Blood Pool. Having remained at its bottom for a full year, every bone and muscle in my body felt stiff and uncomfortable. The moment I set foot on shore, I could not help letting out a long howl.
"Whoosh!"
A mouthful of scorching stale air slowly poured from my throat. That roaring cry even carried a faint dragon's chant, like thunder crackling with lightning. It rumbled endlessly through this small space, making the entire area tremble slightly.
"Haha, that felt good!"
The howl lingered through the space for a while before gradually fading away. Feeling my cultivation rise to another level, I burst into laughter.
Nine Star Dou Zong!
My physical body had also become even more terrifying. Setting aside the Fighting God Bloodline within me, the snake-scale markings on my skin that had formed after taking the Python Fetus Pill had long since been washed away. In their place were brand-new dragon-scale markings, forming a pale golden Dragon Armor across my body, extremely similar to what I had once seen on Zi Yan.
As I walked, I strode with the bearing of a dragon and tiger. Dragon's might accompanied both my gaze and my cries, my aura grand and majestic, like a god descending to the mortal world.
