Awakening the Bloodline

"It's a success!"

Zhao Nan looked at Linley and Hogg, whose expressions had calmed down, and couldn't help but speak.

Ace and the others, upon hearing Zhao Nan's words, all let out a sigh of relief.

Zhao Nan didn't have much of a reaction; after all, the original story recorded it very clearly that Linley succeeded through this exact method.

It was just that this time, there was an extra person, Hogg.

But the method was correct, and the Sathius dragon blood was also fine.

Zhao Nan believed that awakening the bloodline would absolutely be without any issues.

"Sss-sss~~"

The dragon blood within the bodies of Hogg and Linley was refined one by one, subsequently transforming into streams of dragonblood battle qi.

This time, because Linley did not swallow the dragon crystal of Sathius, he did not experience the intense pain described in the original story.

Therefore, the bloodline awakening for both Linley and Hogg was very convenient this time.

One must know that the original story recorded that the first Dragonblood Warrior, Baruch, constantly captured creatures to bleed them so that those in his family with insufficient bloodline purity could awaken their bloodlines.

And those dragons were all Saint-level dragons.

Therefore, the dragon blood of a mere level-nine magical beast could only end up as nourishment for them to awaken their bloodlines.

In fact, that was exactly the case. As the dragon blood was continuously refined and their own bloodlines were constantly awakening, Linley and Hogg couldn't help but cry out in pain.

Subsequently, black scales strangely began to emerge on the surface of their skin, those sharp scales piercing through the clothes of Hogg and Linley.

Following that, black scales continuously sprouted from their arms, thighs, and heads.

And accompanying the appearance of the scales, the pained cries of Hogg and Linley echoed incessantly in the back mountain of Wushan Town.

It was fortunate that this place had a Sound-Isolation Array cast by Zhao Nan; otherwise, Wushan Town, which had just experienced two sudden incidents, would have fallen into chaos for a while longer.

As the two continued to shout, a sharp dragon horn suddenly grew from the heads of Hogg and Linley.

The two were in such pain that their entire bodies spasmed, and their spines trembled from top to bottom as sharp spikes slowly grew out from their vertebrae, piercing through the surface muscles and gradually emerging.

This kind of pain made both of them unable to help but roar in low voices, while at the same time, endless sweat poured out from all over their bodies.

As the sweat appeared, scales continued to emerge all over their bodies, and the shape of those scales was extremely similar to that of an Armored Spined Dragon, though the size of the scales was much smaller.

Of course, while enduring the pain, the two were also constantly circulating the secret techniques from the Dragonblood Secret Codex passed down by their family.

As the secret codex was continuously circulated, the originally dormant and thin Dragonblood Warrior bloodline within them began to constantly erode the dragon blood of Sathius. However, because it was too sparse, their forms looked more like Sathius than the Dragonblood Warrior form recorded in the family history.

"Sss~~"

A tail covered in black scales and stained with blood slowly emerged from the base of their spines; this tail was like a steel whip.

The two of them finally cleared their minds from the intense pain. Looking at the changes in their bodies, especially the spikes on their backs and foreheads, as well as the scales covering their bodies, they both fell into a daze.

One must know that both of them had read their family's Dragonblood Secret Codex, which recorded that Dragonblood Warriors had three forms: human form, semi-dragon form, and complete dragon form.

At this moment, the two were in the third form: the complete dragon form.

The third, complete dragon form of a Dragonblood Warrior was supposed to be covered in cyan dragon scales, with dragon horns on the forehead.

But at this moment, Hogg and Linley were completely different; their bodies were covered in black scales, and there were spikes on their backs.

After Linley and Hogg checked their own conditions, they fell into a new round of pain.

As Dragonblood Warriors, the first time they successfully cultivated 'dragonblood battle qi', the body would uncontrollably enter the 'third form'. This first mutation would be extremely painful, but it would only happen once; future transformations would not be painful.

And at this moment, Linley and Hogg had just successfully cultivated dragonblood battle qi.

As the dragonblood battle qi surged, deep cyan, almost black, battle qi spread throughout their entire bodies. Every muscle and meridian was constantly absorbing this energy, and their physical fitness was also improving at a terrifying speed. This Extreme Speed of improvement also caused them immense pain.

Subsequently, their entire bodies suddenly trembled again. The ten fingers on their hands and the ten toes on their feet felt a bone-deep pain, and one could see that the tips of every finger became sharp, just like a miniature version of dragon claws.

The pain of these claws growing out by force directly caused Linley and Hogg to fall into a coma.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Nan couldn't help but feel a bit bewildered.

Having read the original story, Zhao Nan knew very well that when Linley first awakened his bloodline, he did indeed faint, but that was because he had absorbed the dragon crystal of Sathius, which made the transformation somewhat different.

But when his two children and Wharton's children awakened their bloodlines, it wasn't like this at all!

Although they still retained some magical beast features, they weren't in as much pain as these two!

Zhao Nan pondered for a long time without coming up with an idea, so he simply stopped thinking about it, assuming that it was because the Azure Dragon Essence Blood in their bodies was too scarce, which was why it was so painful when they awakened their bloodlines.

As for Linley and Wharton's children, because Linley had already awakened his Dragonblood Warrior bloodline and Wharton was a pure-blooded Dragonblood Warrior, their offspring had a high enough bloodline concentration, which was why they didn't experience such a situation.

"Teacher, Linley and Uncle Hogg have fainted."

Just as Zhao Nan was pondering in his heart, Ace walked over and spoke to Zhao Nan.

"Hmm. I know, but it's nothing. Once they wake up, they will be able to become Dragonblood Warriors!"

After hearing Ace's words, Zhao Nan reached out and patted the other's head, speaking.

Following Zhao Nan's words, Ace, the five Barker brothers, and Sathius—six people and one beast—waited quietly.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, half an hour had gone by. Zhao Nan suddenly remembered that it took Linley three days to wake up after his first transformation.

Therefore, seeing that Linley and Hogg were still unconscious, Zhao Nan waved his hand and carried the two of them to their respective rooms.

After all, the two did not absorb a dragon crystal like the Linley in the original story, so after only one day of being in a coma, they woke up from their beds.
