Ligardel's appearance had changed drastically.
To say nothing of anything else, the old Ligardel had only been a little taller than Brother Mangzi's hips in his normal state—not even a meter tall.
His limbs had been slender, his head slightly oversized, making him look a little like a big-headed doll.
Even then, his size would shrink under the influence of his emotions. At his smallest, he was barely bigger than an ordinary cat.
But now, Ligardel's body had undergone an earthshaking transformation.
First, his height had skyrocketed to around three meters. His frame was incredibly muscular, with knotted muscles and clearly defined lines. He was now a towering, powerfully built lion-man.
Another particularly striking change was Ligardel's mane.
Before awakening, his fur had been a pale white that gave him an unhealthy appearance.
Now, his mane had become exceptionally lush, gleaming like white jade.
And perhaps due to the effects of his previous emotions, a faint layer of pale red had appeared amid his mane.
His face had changed completely as well.
If his former appearance had made him seem like a timid punching bag,
then even while unconscious, he now gave off a dangerous, oppressive air, looking wild and untamed.
Seeing him like this, Brother Mangzi could not help nodding in satisfaction.
"That's more like it. A man needs muscles!"
"Now that's handsome!"
As he spoke, Brother Mangzi reached out and squeezed Ligardel's arm, feeling its taut firmness.
His skinny-dog disciple had finally bulked up—though the process had been rather unexpected.
However, when Brother Mangzi saw the detailed information the system displayed for Ligardel, he could not help feeling somewhat surprised.
