Dragon Scale's Transformation, Seventh-Tier Sign-In Reward, Nine-Layer Profound Heaven Ring
The next morning, the first rays of sunlight pierced through the window lattice and fell on the bluestone floor of the Wandao Academy.
Qin Wangchuan slowly awoke from his deep cultivation, his Spiritual Power contained within him, his aura calm and unwavering.
He could clearly sense that the Immortal Bone within his body were radiating a warm yet powerful aura, rising and falling rhythmically deep within his bone marrow like the tides.
Each rise and fall is accompanied by the profound Daoist Dao Rhyme of "Jie Jin Jian Wo," which meticulously refines and thoroughly digests the vast calamity power and the mighty power of heaven and earth absorbed from the Heavenly Ladder, integrating them into every part of the body.
Although there was no significant improvement in skill level.
But after traversing that supreme Heavenly Road, his foundation was solidified to an unprecedented degree, and his strength had entered a completely new realm.
Qin Wangchuan opened his eyes, a glint of shrewdness flashing within them.
"Next, I should check the rewards from the last mission. I hope I don't end up stuck at level five," he thought to himself.
"Check-in."
[Sign-in successful. Congratulations, host, you have received a Seventh Tier reward: Nine-Layer Profound Heaven Ring.]
"Seventh Tier, it's somewhat like a human... no, somewhat like a system."
With a thought, Qin Wangchuan conjured nine black metal rings of varying sizes in his hand.
These rings are made of an antique material, with dense and complex array patterns engraved on their surface, exuding a calm and profound aura.
They appeared heavy, but were actually as light as nothing, as if they were just nine solid black lights.
"The Nine-Layer Profound Heaven Ring, a defensive Law Treasure...?"
Qin Wangchuan muttered something under his breath, and soon realized that it was indeed a good thing.
It can be separated or combined. When separated, it transforms into nine streams of light that surround the body, forming multiple barriers. When combined, the nine rings interlock, forming an indestructible barrier of mysterious light.
Its core mechanism lies in "weight".
Each time the Nine Rings withstand an attack, its defensive power increases by one level, until it reaches its perfect nine levels, making it an absolute defense.
With a thought, Qin Wangchuan sent out the nine rings, which instantly formed a dark black Light Screen in front of him.
He raised his hand and conjured a beam of Spiritual Power, tentatively striking the Light Screen.
"Buzz--"
The beam of light was easily deflected by the rotating power of the Xuanzhong Ring. At the same time, the Xuanzhong Ring's light brightened slightly, and its defensive power instantly increased by one layer.
"Not bad." Qin Wangchuan nodded in satisfaction.
This Nine-Layer Profound Heaven Ring undoubtedly greatly compensated for his relatively simple defensive methods.
Then, with a slight thought, a figure solidified before Qin Wangchuan.
It was still that delicate yet expressionless loli face, with long, dark hair reaching her waist, and bare feet floating in the air—it was Dragon Scale True Form.
As soon as she appeared, she instinctively stretched out her arms, silently asking for a hug.
Qin Wangchuan skillfully reached out and pulled that lithe body into his arms.
A warm, jade-like touch came from her fingertips, and at the same time, a thought was transmitted through her Divine Soul —she wanted to see what she had obtained after entering that hall, and what changes had occurred.
She was completely herself, both physically and mentally, so she saw that scene without any obstruction.
The hall was empty except for a pure aura that had remained since High Antiquity.
This was originally Great Dao Nourish prepared specifically for those who ascended the Heavenly Road, containing the most Origin Power.
However, since the Heavenly Road has been severed for ten thousand years, this aura has been unable to be replenished, and has thus become increasingly pure and profound.
At this moment, this gift that transcends time and space is flowing unreservedly within her body, perfectly merging with the True Dragon Bloodline.
I was just thinking about it.
The next moment, something unexpected happened.
Dragon Scale's aura changed, and a holy golden light emanated from within her body.
The girl's petite figure stretched and grew taller at a visible speed in the light, her black hair flew like a waterfall, and her childlike form vanished completely, transforming in an instant into a graceful and stunningly curvaceous adult woman.
Her skin was as white as snow, her dragon horns were lustrous, and the red scale between her brows shone even brighter, adding to her bewitching and divine aura.
Despite her completely changed appearance, her eyes remained the same—pure and devoid of emotion, with an innocent and naive look, as if the dramatic changes in her body were nothing more than the natural process of growing up.
"It's gotten bigger!"
Although Qin Wangchuan was not frightened by this scene of 'changing size at will', he still subconsciously pulled Dragon Scale into his arms tightly.
In her adult female form, her body is soft and full, radiating a realistic warmth.
But he had no time to be distracted—his entire mind was completely seized by the power transmitted from the other end of his Divine Soul.
The power of the Dragon Clan comes from the passage of time, especially that of the True Dragon Tribe.
As time goes by, its power will grow stronger.
That aura wasn't just a simple infusion of power; it granted Dragon Scale the power she possessed in her near-adult years.
Its power is now equivalent to the combined effects of the previous "Dragon Scale" and "Fourth Gear Thunder Furnace" at their peak.
It's more than ten times stronger than before!
"If we were to combine this with the Fourth Gear Thunder Furnace..." Qin Wangchuan pondered, his eyes gleaming, "Its power would probably be enough to shatter the Seven-Character Heaven and Earth Law with a single kick, without even needing Saint Law."
Dragon Scale sat quietly on Qin Wangchuan's lap, listening, her long, jet-black hair falling to his knees.
Her bare, jade-like feet hovered slightly in the air, her delicate toes drooping naturally, gleaming with a warm luster in the light and shadow.
Her slender waist naturally rested in her master's hands, her exquisite curves perfectly conforming to Qin Wangchuan's figure.
Two fair arms gently encircled the boy's neck, fingertips lightly playing with the ends of his hair—she was like a meticulously sculpted work of art, every line exuding an alluring charm.
Only her sculpted face remained expressionless, her clear eyes silently reflecting Qin Wangchuan's appearance, as if nothing in the world was worth her attention.
Perfect, and uniquely his alone.
After a brief moment of familiarization, Dragon Scale's form vanished, transforming back into the dragon Dragon Pattern clinging to her body.
However, after the passage of time, the Dragon Pattern on its surface emits a faint golden glow, complementing the Immortal Bone.
This is no coincidence.
Rather, this object is becoming more suitable for him.
Just then, the door was gently pushed open, and a figure quietly entered.
Qin Zhaoer wore a Water Blue Flowing Immortal Dress that accentuated her exquisite figure.
She had come secretly, and when she saw Qin Wangchuan had already woken up and was smiling at her, a fleeting, well-hidden disappointment flashed in her eyes before she regained her usual arrogance.
"Now that you're awake, don't be late for the admission ceremony later." Her tone was light, as if the strangeness of the moment had never existed. Then, with a hint of curiosity, she asked, "By the way, which hospital do you want to go to?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Wangchuan chuckled softly, then asked with a hint of amusement, "What, you still want to choose?"
Wandao Academy has three main colleges:
The [Xuanyi Academy] specializes in talismans, Daoism, and magic, seeking the Origin Source of the Great Dao.
The [Shenwu Academy] forges unparalleled martial bodies and creates indestructible battle spirits.
And the pursuit of the pinnacle of Sword Dao, the ultimate Swordsmanship [Lingyun Sword Academy].
The three colleges are not ranked in any way; they simply specialize in different areas.
However, the disciples admitted to the academy do not have the right to choose for themselves; they are assigned by the academy's guardian beasts based on their performance and potential in the previous Heavenly Ladder Trials.
However, for Qin Wangchuan, it didn't really matter which courtyard he went to.
His true purpose in coming to the Academy was to seek out those learned teachers and explore with them the non-existent "Dual Heaven-Earth Method".
"Let's go." Qin Wangchuan's smile remained, and his gaze fell on Qin Zhaoer.
"After the division into academies, you'll be training at the Myriad Dao Book Palace. Don't be a bottom performer then."
"I'm at the bottom of the class?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Zhaoer's bright eyes widened instantly, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
She turned around gracefully, her light blue skirt billowing and shimmering in the morning light.
"You'd better mind your own business, little brother~" The girl deliberately dragged out her words, her eyes slightly raised as she turned around, a hint of sly triumph in them. "Of course, if you ask me for help, I might consider helping you if I'm in a good mood~"
After saying that, she ran lightly forward, the ribbon in her hair fluttering in the wind like a graceful butterfly, flamboyant and free-spirited.
