Azure Dragon Skin

"Special constitution? Or perhaps a bloodline awakening..."

Old Monster Lin frowned slightly.

As a Dou Sheng, he naturally knew that this world contained many special constitutions. Wasn't that little girl from the Dan Family one of them?

But special constitutions often revealed themselves at a very early age.

Shen Wen had been raised by him since childhood.

There had never been anything like this before.

Or perhaps Shen Wen's ancestors had possessed a Dou Di bloodline, and it had suddenly awakened?

That was also possible.

Under certain circumstances, a bloodline could awaken without warning.

"Grandpa Lin, what happened to Shen Wen?"

Though she was annoyed that this blockhead had stolen her first kiss, his condition was clearly wrong. She could forgive him for that.

Cao Ying was still rather concerned about Shen Wen.

Old Monster Lin explained the two possibilities he had considered. Yet when Cao Ying heard the words "Dou Di bloodline"...

All of a sudden,

she thought of how Shen Wen could casually produce a cultivation art even more powerful than a Heaven Tier art, as well as that Sky Burning Cauldron...

"Grandpa Lin, how did you find Shen Wen back then?" Cao Ying suddenly felt as though Shen Wen was shrouded in a layer of mist.

Ever since she had known him as a child, she had noticed that Shen Wen was unusually calm, completely unlike a child.

Even she had only been composed because of her family's rules.

And Old Monster Lin did not look like someone who knew how to raise children. How could he possibly have raised such a calm child?

Besides, only someone who had raised few children would think Shen Wen was not strange.

Now, combined with the Betrothal Gift he had taken out and his current abnormality, could this blockhead Shen Wen truly be the descendant of a Dou Di?

Old Monster Lin thought for a moment and said, "Back then, I was traveling outside and happened to pass through a mountain range. Two groups were fighting within it. It should have been an ambush."

"Shen Wen belonged to the group being ambushed. At the time, I discovered that his soul was unusual and saved him. Only after asking did I learn that Shen Wen's parents had long since died."

"Shen Wen had been adopted by them. His exact origins were already unclear..."

When Cao Ying heard that Shen Wen was an orphan, her brows furrowed slightly. Unable to stop herself, she voiced her guess. "Grandpa Lin.

Do you think Shen Wen might truly be the descendant of a former Dou Di, only for his family to decline afterward..."

Listening to the low roars inside gradually fade away, Old Monster Lin nodded. "It's possible, but Dou Di have vanished without trace for countless years. Trying to find anything related to Shen Wen..."

"I'm afraid it will be difficult."

Yet Cao Ying still harbored some doubts in her heart.

She felt that Shen Wen should know something about his own origins—perhaps he already knew everything.

Otherwise,

where had his Betrothal Gift come from? It was likely obtained from something his ancestors had left behind for their descendants.

"Let's go in."

Old Monster Lin sensed that Shen Wen's condition inside had stabilized and spoke.

When the two entered, they found Shen Wen floating in midair.

Azure light covered him.

Azure light also squirmed wildly across his skin. In the end, it seeped out into something resembling a layer of azure keratin.

"Roar!"

Another roar came from Shen Wen's mouth amid the azure light, but this time there was not the slightest trace of pain.

Instead, it sounded exceptionally clear and resonant.

At that moment, azure light filled his entire body, gathering outside his skin.

It seemed to form a special membrane, one that vaguely took the shape of Dragon Marks.

Shen Wen lowered his head and excitedly examined his body's surface. He clenched his fists, able to feel the terrifying power surging and roaring within him.

No wonder Lin Dong used the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art whenever he disagreed with someone.

Sometimes, superhuman strength was far more straightforward than a superhuman brain!

Cao Ying lowered her head, not quite daring to look at Shen Wen's bare upper body. Compared to before,

the changed Shen Wen had smoother muscle lines, and the azure light that occasionally flashed over him added an inexplicable allure.

Her gaze could not help falling upon him at times, but she quickly forced herself to look away and stared at Shen Wen's toes.

Shen Wen floated down from the air and landed. Seeing that Shen Wen's eyes were clear, Old Monster Lin knew there should be no major problem.

He then asked, "What happened to you? I heard from Ying'er that you were cultivating, and then you suddenly became like this..."

Shen Wen scratched his head. "It's nothing. While cultivating, a cultivation art suddenly appeared in my mind, and then this happened."

"A cultivation art?"

"Yes. It's called the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art. It's a cultivation art for the physical body. What I've condensed now is called Azure Dragon Skin."

Old Monster Lin frowned slightly. Could Shen Wen's ancestors really have produced a supreme expert like a Dou Di?

If it were a special constitution, it was unlikely that a cultivation art would appear alongside it.

But if it were a Dou Di bloodline,

then it was possible to imprint a cultivation art into the bloodline.

Of course, this was only something Old Monster Lin had heard of. After all, it had been many years since a Dou Di had appeared.

"Do not tell outsiders about this."

After considering it, Old Monster Lin spoke. His eyesight was extraordinary, and after only two looks, he knew that the cultivation art Shen Wen possessed was of no low grade.

Although Shen Wen was his disciple and already at the Dou Huang Peak, once the suspected inheritance of a Dou Di spread,

it would be enough to stir up a bloody storm across the entire continent. Even as a two-star Dou Sheng, he might not be able to protect Shen Wen.

"Only Master and Ying'er know about this."

Shen Wen nodded. For now, he still needed to keep a low profile. After all, Hun Tiandi was still on the continent, yearning to break through to Dou Di.

Once Hun Tiandi believed that he possessed a Dou Di inheritance, he would certainly come straight to his door.

Even if he exhausted every method he had, Shen Wen could not possibly contend against Hun Tiandi.

Shen Wen, whom Old Monster Lin regarded as both disciple and son, quickly noticed Old Monster Lin's thoughts.

He hurriedly said, "Master, this cultivation art may require dragon blood essence for cultivation. Can you find some Ancient Void Dragon blood essence for me?"

Old Monster Lin's train of thought was interrupted. He glanced at Shen Wen. This brat.

Did he love her that much?

Since he only had one disciple, he put aside that thought.

He nodded. "You sure have lofty demands. Ancient Void Dragon blood essence.

Those fellows come and go without a trace. I'll think of a way for you."

Seeing that Shen Wen was fine, he was relieved.

He turned to leave, but before departing, he looked at Cao Ying and said, "Ying'er, since you and Shen Wen have formed a Marriage Alliance,

the two of you are one as husband and wife. All your thoughts must be centered on the two of you. Do you understand?"

Cao Ying nodded with her head lowered. "Ying'er understands!"
