Dragonblood Warrior

Zhao Nan had been cultivating in his room. Once the two of them regained consciousness, he immediately stood up, opened his door, and walked out to the entrance of Hogg's room.

When Zhao Nan had brought the two unconscious individuals to the rooms, he hadn't placed them in their separate quarters, but rather both in Hogg's room, so that he could handle any situation immediately if needed.

Just as Zhao Nan arrived at the door, the door to Hogg's room opened as well.

"Mr. Zhao Nan!"

"Teacher!"

Hogg and Linley greeted Zhao Nan.

Zhao Nan nodded at them, then asked, "Now that you have become Dragonblood Warriors, how do you feel?"

Hogg and Linley were stunned for a moment after hearing Zhao Nan's words.

After waking up on the bed, their first instinct had been to walk out, and they hadn't yet checked their own physical conditions.

Now, prompted by Zhao Nan, they both began to examine themselves.

"Indeed, just as recorded in the Dragonblood Secret Codex, the first 'Dragon Transformation' completely remolds the entire body, transforming both the interior and the exterior."

After all, Hogg had previously been a level six warrior, and his mastery over his own body was far superior to Linley's; therefore, he was the first to discover the changes within his body.

Following Hogg's words, Linley also spoke to Zhao Nan with an excited expression, "Teacher, I feel that my strength is so powerful now, dozens of times stronger than it was before."

Although Linley had read in the Dragonblood Secret Codex that one's physical fitness would greatly improve after awakening the Dragonblood Warrior bloodline, he had not expected his physical condition to be this much stronger after the awakening.

Seeing the eager expressions of Linley and Hogg, Zhao Nan smiled and said, "Why don't we go to the back mountain and see what your strength is like?"

Hogg and Linley nodded in agreement upon hearing Zhao Nan's suggestion.

As Zhao Nan and the others talked, Ace and the five Barker brothers heard them and walked over, followed by Wharton, Hillman, and Hiri.

As for Sathius, because his body was too massive, he had been resting at the back mountain since yesterday and had not entered the rooms.

Seeing that more and more people had gathered, Zhao Nan waved his hand and led everyone toward the back mountain.

Upon arriving at the back mountain, Hogg did not move, but instead looked at the eager Linley and said, "Linley, you go first! I'll try in a moment!"

Linley did not hesitate after hearing Hogg's words. He clenched his fist, naturally channeled the Dragonblood Battle Qi within his body, and slammed a punch toward a boulder in front of him.

"Boom..."

With a loud crash, the boulder, which was half a person's height, was instantly shattered by Linley's punch, and countless stone fragments flew in all directions.

"Level five. Linley, your current strength has reached that of a level five warrior."

Seeing the destruction caused by Linley's attack, Zhao Nan couldn't help but remark.

Linley couldn't help but reveal a smile upon hearing Zhao Nan's words.

At this moment, Linley felt that the pain he had endured earlier was finally worth it.

Despite his previous diligent training, he had only been a level three warrior, yet this bloodline awakening had allowed him to break through two levels at once.

"Linley, try the effects of the Dragon Transformation." Zhao Nan wanted to see Linley's specific strength now, so he spoke to him.

"Right, Linley, you try it first," Hogg also said with an expectant look.

Linley nodded after hearing the words of Zhao Nan and Hogg. He also wanted to know what level his strength would reach while in the state of Dragon Transformation.

With a thought, Linley controlled the Dragonblood Battle Qi in his dantian and began to circulate it.

As the Dragonblood Battle Qi circulated, streams of cyan-black battle qi surged from his dantian throughout his limbs and bones.

"Sss..."

A low sound rang out. Black dragon scales rapidly emerged on the surface of Linley's skin, followed by a meter-long, steel-like black dragon tail sprouting from the base of his spine, and then sharp spikes emerged from his back.

Linley looked just like Sathius, only a smaller version of him.

After the transformation was complete, Linley exclaimed, "Teacher, Father, I feel like I have endless strength throughout my entire body."

At this moment, Linley couldn't help but feel excited.

There was no helping it; immense power is always intoxicating.

After feeling the changes in his body, Linley raised his palm, looked at the scale-covered fingernails, and fiercely attacked a boulder the height of a person in front of him.

The moment his claw touched the stone, Linley felt as if his palm had plunged into tofu.

"Boom..."

Following the impact of his palm into the stone, another loud noise erupted, and the boulder was instantly reduced to a pile of powder.

"Hah!"

Linley withdrew his arm, pushed off the ground with his legs, and darted forward, continuously attacking the rocks and trees in his path.

Then, he pushed off the ground again, spun in mid-air, and whipped his meter-long dragon tail, creating a series of sonic booms in the air.

Zhao Nan and the others did not stop Linley's actions, but instead watched quietly as he continuously tested various methods of attack.

After more than an hour, Linley finally ceased his movements.

Seeing that Linley had stopped, Zhao Nan immediately spoke up to him: "Since you've finished your testing, Linley, just stay put for now!"

"Don't change back yet, or else you'll end up completely naked!"

Upon hearing Zhao Nan's words, Linley was stunned for a moment before nodding in agreement.

At this moment, Linley also recalled that whenever he transformed into a Dragonblood Warrior, his clothes would be shredded; if he were to change back now, he would indeed be left with nothing on.

After Zhao Nan finished speaking to Linley, he added: "Without transforming, you possess the strength of a level five warrior, but once you undergo dragon transformation, you possess the strength of a level six warrior."

Having finished speaking to Linley, Zhao Nan ignored him and turned his gaze toward Hogg, saying: "Mr. Hogg, please give it a try; let me see the changes in your strength!"

After hearing this, Hogg did just as Linley had, performing a series of attacks before Zhao Nan spoke up: "Mr. Hogg, your strength in human form has already broken through level five and reached that of a level seven warrior."

Once Zhao Nan finished speaking, he asked Hogg to test his full dragon transformation as well.

However, considering Linley's current situation, Hogg knew that at his age, he naturally could not undergo a full dragon transformation like Linley.

Therefore, Hogg only tested his partial dragon transformation.
