Black-Scaled Boar Dragon and Black-Winged Dragon Boar

The incubation room was covered in surveillance cameras, providing twenty-four-hour, three-hundred-and-sixty-degree coverage without a single blind spot.

The moment the first egg cracked and began to hatch, the alarm sounded. The employees who had been stationed outside the incubation room immediately opened the door and rushed inside.

Lin Chen, who had remained on Ark the entire time, received the notification at once and hurried frantically toward the incubation room.

Actually, he had been the first to notice. Even before the notification arrived, he already knew.

Because just then, three strands of Soul Power had appeared within his body.

Though they were very faint, precisely because his Innate Soul Power was so low, his perception of Soul Power was extraordinarily sharp.

Comparing them to his own amount of Soul Power, he roughly estimated that each Soul Beast would feed back around 0.01 levels of Soul Power after hatching.

It might not have been much, but from now on, three Soul Beasts would hatch steadily every day. That was 0.03 levels a day, or 0.9 levels of Soul Power a month.

In just one short year, he could break through from level 0.5 to level ten. This speed was practically like riding a train. What genius could compare to him?

Having cheats was awesome. To put it bluntly, he loved having cheats.

Although the amount of Soul Power required for future upgrades would increase drastically, he would also unlock more Soul Beasts for breeding. When the time came, he could still make up for quality with quantity. It would be absolutely fantastic.

Lin Chen was the first to sense it. The second was the Beast God.

After all, his descendants had hatched. Naturally, he would sense it.

His two short little legs carried him swiftly toward the incubation room, and he happened to run straight into Lin Chen.

Neither man nor dragon was willing to yield. Both wanted to be the first Soul Beast the hatchlings saw, so they would recognize them as their father. But Lin Chen was ultimately more skilled—he cheated. His shoe Soul Tool used nitrous acceleration.

To put it bluntly, no one could outdo him when it came to underhanded tricks. He quickly shot into the incubation room with a whoosh.

The staff waited at the entrance, each carrying a large bottle of energy-rich cow's milk. It was made from natural cow's milk mixed with synthesized energy, and contained even more energy than Soul Beast milk.

They stood outside, watching the three dragon beasts inside gnaw on their eggshells, yet none of them dared to step forward.

After all, they understood that this crucial first impression had to be made by their master.

But Lin Chen did not really care. He had run so fast purely because he wanted to compete with Di Tian.

As long as Soul Beasts born through Transcendent Reproduction were born, they formed a mental link with him. While feeding Soul Power back to him, they also came under Lin Chen's control.

Once they grew a little bigger, Lin Chen could control them to do anything he wanted.

Of course, Di Tian could do so as well, because he was their divine father. But Lin Chen's commands would always take precedence over Di Tian's.

If the two of them ever gave the same command at the same time, all descendants born through Transcendent Reproduction would only prioritize Lin Chen's order. As for Di Tian, sorry, they did not know him.

After waiting bitterly for two months, Lin Chen had finally welcomed the first batch of hatched Soul Beasts.

All three Soul Beasts were pitch-black and about the size of ordinary piglets. Two looked exactly alike, while the third was visibly different. It had hatched from the unusual egg.

Lin Chen first looked at the other two little cuties. After eating their eggshells, they had passed the initial stage. Black scales had already grown over their bodies, and their large, watery black eyes stared fixedly at Lin Chen. Their little red tongues licked their lips. It seemed that instinct drove them to want milk.

Seeing this, Lin Chen decisively took a bucket of milk from one of the employees and placed it before them.

The two little cuties caught the scent of milk and immediately pounced on it. Their tongues lapped frantically as they gulped down the milk with smacking sounds, their faces full of bliss.

Only then did Lin Chen examine their appearances up close.

At this point, these two Soul Beasts could not yet be called dragon beasts, because they were merely two mixed-blood dragons, with more pig-like traits on their bodies.

They had scales, long dragon tails, and chain-like spines, but no dragon wings on their backs or dragon horns on their heads. Their claws still had only three talons.

Although they lacked pig snouts and pig ears, they had a pair of white tusks.

They did not look like much now, but Lin Chen could imagine just how sharp those tusks would be once they grew up.

Still, overall, these two mixed-blood dragon Soul Beasts had more dragon traits.

Of course, Lin Chen only said that in comparison to their third brother.

After examining the other two mixed-blood dragons, Lin Chen decisively turned to the third.

Di Tian could not even be bothered to look at the little fellow.

Lin Chen concluded that if Di Tian had been born in the human world, he would definitely have been the type to favor sons over daughters. It was simply outrageous.

Di Tian had entered behind Lin Chen. The moment he saw the little fellow, his face filled with disdain, and he only kept his gaze on the other two.

Only then did Lin Chen walk over to him, place the milk in front of him, and gently pat his head.

This little fellow was completely different from the other two. His pig-like features were far more pronounced. He could practically be called a pig Soul Beast.

He had no scales, only skin as black as ink, along with enormous pig ears, a pig snout, a pair of pig tusks, and three-taloned feet. He was unmistakably a pig Soul Beast.

Yet absurdly, this pig had a pair of black dragon wings growing from its back.

But judging by their appearance, it was obvious he would not be able to fly, even after growing up. The wings were completely out of proportion with his body. He was practically a replica of Di Tian.

Looking at the three little fellows, Lin Chen suddenly found them quite interesting.

If he had not guessed wrong, the reason for their obvious differences was that their bloodlines had different dominant traits.

Those two little fellows had inherited Di Tian's bloodline, which was why they had dragon scales and dragon claws. But because their mother's bloodline rank was too low, no other clear dragon traits had appeared. They had neither dragon horns nor dragon wings.

The other one was quite unbelievable. Di Tian's bloodline was so powerful—how could a pig possibly take the lead?

Yet that was the truth. Perhaps because the sow had given her life to nurture this Soul Beast, the stimulation of such bloodlines, combined with mutation, had allowed the pig bloodline to become dominant in the newborn Soul Beast, while Di Tian's bloodline had instead been suppressed.

As a result, this Soul Beast was basically a pig Soul Beast, but the pair of dragon wings on its back proved that Di Tian's bloodline was indeed present within it.

This was rather interesting. Di Tian's face had turned green. His own bloodline had actually been suppressed by a pig—who could stand that?

After confirming that the little fellows were safe and sound, the little milk dragon sulked for a moment before leaving directly. Out of sight, out of mind.
