Perfect Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python Bloodline!

"How strong is your Companion Soul, really? Yan Lin broke through to the ninth stage of Dou Qi at ten, and he might even break through to Dou Zhe this year. With his talent, he can also make Your Majesty and the Elders take notice. And you? You're riding your father's coattails and somehow feeling proud of it. I'm honestly impressed."

As a fellow snake person, Cauliflower Snake naturally understood the Snake People Clan's path of cultivation, but he deeply despised Sha Bi.

He believed that Sha Bi relied on his father, while Yan Lin relied on himself. The latter was far more worthy of respect.

And Yan Lin was his brother, so naturally, he had to speak up for him.

Who would have thought that rather than feeling ashamed by the mockery, Sha Bi would laugh proudly. "I rely on my father, and I'm proud of it!"

"Having a father and not relying on him is just stupid. Unlike you people, whose parents have nothing to offer. What, jealous?"

Sha Bi wore a smug smile, as though he had regained the upper hand. The sight put a spark of anger on Cauliflower Snake's face. He had never seen someone so shameless.

Though Sha Bi's words were not entirely unreasonable, Cauliflower Snake still found him unbelievably punchable.

Just as he was about to continue arguing with Sha Bi, Yan Lin grabbed the enraged Cauliflower Snake. He did not want him making a mistake on an occasion like this.

Still, he had to back up his friend. "Enough. The more a dog barks, the fiercer it gets. The more you indulge it, the more excited it becomes."

Yan Lin understood how to deal true damage. That single sentence stabbed straight into Sha Bi's sore spot, instantly turning his face red with rage. "Yan Lin, you! All you know is how to flap your mouth! If you've got the guts, fight me after we get back. Let's see who's the hero and who's the coward!"

Sha Bi was furious, and Cauliflower Snake laughed. Pointing his thumb at the former, he grinned at Yan Lin. "Heh, look. The dog's getting worked up."

Cauliflower Snake's timing was impeccable. Sha Bi was so enraged that his veins nearly burst, blue veins bulging across his face.

Seeing that he was starting to lose control, Yan Lin did not want to cause trouble at such an important occasion today. He feared being punished and missing this Awakening Ceremony. He still wanted to copy Queen Medusa's entries; he could not let Sha Bi ruin everything.

So, he stopped goading Sha Bi alongside Cauliflower Snake and calmly accepted the challenge instead. "I accept your challenge. But I hope you won't regret it later, and that you'll still be this confident."

A slap in the face was not limited to physical damage. Magical damage was even deadlier.

Yan Lin had long since seen Sha Bi's potential from his entry attribute list.

High-grade Cultivation Talent meant he had a chance of breaking through to Dou Wang. Sha Bi's father clearly had some skill. That was also why Sha Bi, despite being weaker than Yan Lin, always dared to provoke him so recklessly.

This fellow also loved putting on an air of "My father is Wang Gang" in front of others. Yan Lin had been somewhat wary of him before, but from now on, he would have no such concerns.

No matter how powerful Sha Bi's Companion Soul was, could it compare to Queen Medusa?

The fiercer he barked now, the harder the slap would be later.

Sha Bi had no idea what he was about to face. When he saw Yan Lin accept his challenge, the rage clouding his head actually subsided.

From childhood to adulthood, he had never beaten Yan Lin. Now that Yan Lin was taking this seriously, Sha Bi lost his confidence instead.

But though he could lose the fight, he could not lose face. He proudly slapped his chest and snorted. "What a joke! I, Sha Bi, have never regretted anything in my life!"

After saying that, Sha Bi tilted his head up at a forty-five-degree angle, like a proud white swan that refused to admit defeat.

He thought he had put on a truly impressive display, unaware that in Yan Lin's eyes, he was nothing more than a clown.

Never regretted anything in his life?

Who did he think he was, Chen Bi Wang?

Yan Lin mocked inwardly. To him, Sha Bi was exactly like his own name: an idiot!

Seeing that Yan Lin and Cauliflower Snake had stopped paying attention to him, the sense of defeat washed over Sha Bi again. His face darkened terribly, his lips silently moving.

It was clear that he was furious—and cursing just as fiercely.

"Whoosh!"

A faint spatial ripple suddenly appeared above the square. Then, a red figure appeared in Yan Lin and the other snake people's line of sight without the slightest abruptness, as though she had been there all along.

As that figure descended, streams of Dou Qi light in various colors appeared one after another in the sky behind her.

Yan Lin focused his eyes and saw that there were twelve snake people.

Dou Qi wings spread from all their backs. They were clearly all experts at the Dou Wang level or above.

"Welcome, Your Majesty!"

"Welcome, Elders!"

The many snake people below the square looked up at the thirteen experts in the sky with reverence and respectfully shouted their greetings.

Those thirteen experts were Queen Medusa of the Snake People Clan, the Four Great Elders, and the Eight Great Commanders.

"They've finally arrived."

As he gazed at Queen Medusa and the others, Yan Lin's eyes held not the slightest trace of reverence, only excitement and exhilaration.

He looked at Queen Medusa and the others as though they were unclothed beauties, his heated gaze roaming over them.

In the end, Yan Lin locked onto Queen Medusa's entry attribute panel.

[Cultivation Talent: Top-grade—Copyable]

[Bloodline: Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python Bloodline (not yet returned to ancestry)—Copying grants a fused Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python Bloodline]

[Cultivation Method: Quasi-Earth-grade cultivation method, "Crimson Refinement Sky Burning Art"—Copyable]

[Dou Techniques: Snake Seal Curse, Dance of Blessing...—Copyable]

...

It had to be said that Medusa truly lived up to her status as the Snake People Clan's Queen. She had more copyable entries than anyone Yan Lin had seen among the Snake People Clan.

Even the Snake People Clan's Four Great Elders and Eight Great Commanders fell far short of Queen Medusa.

"A perfect Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python Bloodline?!"

When Yan Lin saw the bloodline entry in Queen Medusa's attribute panel, surprise rippled across his youthful handsome face.

He had originally thought that copying Queen Medusa's bloodline would merely give him a trace of Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python Bloodline like hers. He had not expected it to be in a perfect state.

This meant that the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python Bloodline Yan Lin copied would not require him to temper his body with Heavenly Flames like Queen Medusa in order to make the Purple Nether Flame Snake return to its ancestry. Nor would he need a Spirit Fusion Pill to fuse with the accompanying Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python.

He could completely skip both stages and directly obtain a perfect Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python Bloodline!

This left Yan Lin with no hesitation. He immediately decided to copy Queen Medusa's bloodline entry.

His Cultivation Talent did not lose to Queen Medusa's.

As for cultivation methods and Dou Techniques, as long as he revealed his Dou Zhe strength and displayed sufficient talent, he would naturally be able to enter the Medusa Temple and choose high-level cultivation methods and Dou Techniques suitable for himself.

The Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python Bloodline was clearly what he should choose most right now!

Bloodline and Cultivation Talent were linked to a certain extent. The stronger the bloodline, the stronger the Cultivation Talent, and the faster one could cultivate.

The Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python stood in the same tier as the Ancient Sky Snake and the Sky Demon Phoenix. It was one of the supreme king bloodlines among snake-type magical beasts.

If Yan Lin could obtain the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python's bloodline, it meant that he could at least become a Dou Zun and possessed the potential to become a Dou Sheng!

More importantly, with the power of the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python Bloodline, his cultivation speed would soar. He would also receive the Snake People Clan's best resources and training, allowing him to become powerful even faster.

Only then could he leave the Snake People Clan, leave the Jia Ma Empire... and climb, step by step, toward the very peak!

"Buzz~~"

Yan Lin directly tapped the transparent, exclusive "Queen Medusa" entry attribute panel floating before him.

Even from over a hundred meters away, Yan Lin could wave his hand and pull Queen Medusa's exclusive entry attribute panel to his side through the air. He touched the panel that only he could see and selected the entry he wanted to copy.

As Yan Lin pressed the copy button on Queen Medusa's "Bloodline Entry" attribute panel, the transparent panel rippled slightly before transforming into a Seven-Colored Light visible only to him and entering his body.

Then...

Then there was no then. Nothing changed at all.

Yan Lin secretly found it strange. This was not right—twelve kinds of wrong!
