Maybe one day he would obtain a Celestial Herb. Then the Golden Dragon wouldn't have to transform slowly; it could leap straight to becoming a Golden Holy Dragon.
Celestial Herbs were powerful tonics that could replenish a Soul Master's vitality. When the time came, the Golden Dragon would be able to show its true splendor.
It wasn't a useless Martial Soul. It was the noble Golden Holy Dragon, one of the world's foremost Super Martial Souls, standing above even the top-tier Martial Souls.
With a thought, Lin Chen took out the Golden Holy Dragon Blood awarded by the system's Newbie Gift Pack.
Sensing the Holy Dragon Blood's aura, the Golden Dragon's eyes burned with excitement. It wagged its tail and stared longingly at the Golden Holy Dragon Blood in Lin Chen's hand.
This blood was no ordinary tonic for the Golden Dragon. It already possessed the Golden Holy Dragon's bloodline, and this blood might awaken a small part of that Holy Dragon bloodline.
"Don't rush, don't rush. It'll be in your mouth sooner or later."
Lin Chen soothed the Golden Dragon. As its master, he could naturally feel its heartfelt excitement.
He put the Holy Dragon Blood into the Golden Dragon's mouth, then waited nearby for it to transform.
The system had processed the Golden Holy Dragon Blood, so even the Golden Dragon could absorb it perfectly.
Two hours later.
The Golden Dragon's entire body glowed with brilliant golden light, and its physique had undergone a tremendous change.
Lin Chen looked toward the Golden Dragon.
First, two small dragon horns had grown on its head, though it hadn't fully transformed into a dragon yet.
Next, its big ears had disappeared, and its deep-blue eyes had turned pale gold.
On closer inspection, one could see a hint of Dragon's Might in its eyes.
Its plump body had begun to slim down, and its overall appearance had become imposing and powerful. It no longer looked as ugly as before.
After absorbing the Golden Holy Dragon Blood, the Golden Dragon had truly changed a great deal.
"The Golden Dragon's strength should be no weaker than that of an ordinary High Rank Martial Soul."
Looking at its new appearance, Lin Chen couldn't help making an estimate.
The Golden Dragon was special, unlike other Martial Souls. It was a Detached Martial Soul with the ability to think for itself, something other Martial Souls couldn't do.
Now, a small part of the Golden Holy Dragon bloodline within the Golden Dragon had awakened. Once the entire bloodline awakened, it would transform into a Golden Holy Dragon.
When that happened, Lin Chen wanted to try what it felt like to soar through the sky on the Golden Dragon's back.
After awakening part of its bloodline, the Golden Dragon approached Lin Chen and rubbed its head against his thigh, looking at him longingly.
In an instant, Lin Chen understood what the Golden Dragon wanted.
"So you're hungry. That makes sense. Awakening your bloodline must have consumed a lot of your vital energy."
Lin Chen took the Millennium True Dragon Meat he'd obtained as a reward that day from his system storage.
The Millennium True Dragon Meat was packed with nutrients, making it perfect for replenishing the vital energy the Golden Dragon had spent awakening its bloodline.
The moment the Golden Dragon saw the True Dragon Meat, its eyes lit up, and it pounced straight at it.
The Golden Dragon felt so lucky to have Lin Chen as its master. Compared with its other kin, it lived in far greater comfort.
It remembered Luo Sanpao, a fellow creature who looked exactly like it. It had just run into Luo Sanpao that day.
Though they were kin, their lives couldn't have been more different.
The Golden Dragon drank Golden Holy Dragon Blood and ate True Dragon Meat, while Luo Sanpao followed a useless master and spent every day either eating carrots or on its way to eat carrots.
One day, the Golden Dragon would transform into the noble Golden Holy Dragon, while Luo Sanpao would remain a pig that did nothing but eat carrots.
"Come to think of it, I'm hungry too. Once the Golden Dragon's full, I should go find something to eat."
Watching the Golden Dragon devour its food, Lin Chen's stomach began to rumble.
Half an hour later.
Lin Chen stared at the Golden Dragon in shock. He hadn't expected it to be such a big eater.
From the start until now, he estimated that the Golden Dragon had eaten no less than a ton of True Dragon Meat.
But he didn't feel the slightest reluctance. If anything, he was even more pleased.
It was good to have a big appetite. The more it ate, the greater its potential and vital energy.
The next day.
Across Douluo Continent.
The women who possessed Diary Copies had taken them out, eager to see whether the Diary Owner, Lin Chen, had added anything new.
Notting Academy.
"He still hasn't updated it. Why's Lin Chen so slow? If he doesn't update soon, I'm going to go pester him."
As soon as Xiao Wu woke up, she eagerly took out her Diary Copy to check whether Lin Chen had posted anything.
"I wonder if I'll get a Hidden Reward today. If all else fails, I'll go make sure Lin Chen notices me."
Xiao Wu's eyes were full of longing.
Having already tasted the benefits of a Hidden Reward, she naturally wanted to get another one.
Maybe one day, she'd obtain the Resurrection Card the system had mentioned and bring her mother back to life.
[Another new day. Time to start updating the diary.]
[Practicing the Nine Yang Skill yesterday felt great. My Soul Power circulates so much faster than before. Even a genius with Innate Full Soul Power can't cultivate as quickly as I can.]
[But that's only natural. The Nine Yang Skill is far superior to Tang san's Mysterious Heaven Skill.]
[The Mysterious Heaven Skill is a second-rate cultivation method, yet on Douluo Continent it can surpass the top meditation techniques of the major powers. And the Nine Yang Skill is an unparalleled technique, to say nothing of it.]
[Once I reach mastery in the Nine Yang Skill, the Nine Suns in the Sky phenomenon will appear. By then, even if a Divine Being descended, it might not be able to beat me.]
[Oh, right. After my Golden Dragon absorbed the Golden Holy Dragon Blood yesterday, its bloodline began to awaken. It's already showing some dragon traits.]
[The Golden Dragon's Martial Soul strength is now no weaker than an ordinary High Rank Martial Soul, but it still has a long way to go before reaching the level of a top-tier or even Super Martial Soul.]
[By contrast, Luo Sanpao and the Golden Dragon are clearly kin and possess the same noble bloodline, yet it followed a useless master and can't awaken its bloodline. What a pity.]
[Speaking of Luo Sanpao, I have to mention its master, Jade Little Sword.]
[I still can't think of anything impressive about Jade Little Sword. Hm? No, wait. There is one thing he's good at.]
Heaven Dou City.
"Lin Chen does have a little sense, after all. Little Gang is so capable and outstanding. How could he be as bad as Lin Chen makes him out to be?"
Realizing that Lin Chen was about to write something positive about Jade Little Sword in the diary, Liu Erlong, far away in Heaven Dou City, unconsciously lifted her full, shapely chest. She looked proud, as if she were the one about to receive the praise.
Spirit Hall.
"Good. At least he's finally found something to praise Little Gang for."
"This Diary Copy isn't so hard to read after all."
Like Liu Erlong, Bibi Dong assumed that Lin Chen was about to write something complimentary about Jade Little Sword.
Before they could enjoy the moment any longer—
[The thing Jade Little Sword is best at is playing with women's feelings. Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong are proof.]
