Seeing Luo Yan's serious expression, Xiao Wu did not continue to crowd him.
After casting a thoughtful glance at Luo Yan, she returned to the small cabin to cultivate.
Luo Yan shook his head helplessly, then began to suppress his blood energy and calm his heart.
On the other side, after Da Ming and the others chatted for a while, Da Ming began to examine his human physical body.
Seeing that Da Ming had successfully transformed, Er Ming felt even more urgent; after parting ways with Da Ming, he quickly entered a state of cultivation.
He, too, was desperate to transform.
In an instant, Luo Yan was the only one left beside Life Lake.
Confirming that no one was around, Luo Yan silently recited in his heart: "System, initiate bloodline evolution!"
Half a year had passed since his last bloodline evolution, and he decided not to wait any longer; it was better to proceed with the evolution sooner.
Otherwise, he didn't know how long Er Ming's transformation would take, and they would soon have to leave the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Ding!
Consuming ten million resentment points to initiate bloodline evolution.
Bloodline evolving..."
Watching the resentment points on the system panel continuously drain away, Luo Yan still felt a pang of heartache.
However, since he harvested resentment points specifically for bloodline evolution, he couldn't just hoard them forever; otherwise, what would be the point of harvesting them in the first place?
Thinking of this, Luo Yan began to perceive the process of bloodline evolution.
The procedure was very familiar, but this time, after shifting into his true form, Luo Yan felt as if something had sprouted on his head.
Moreover, something was breaking through the scales beneath his dragon scales.
Could it be that I am growing dragon horns?
During his last evolution, he had evolved from a Purple Thunder Blue Python into a Mystic Light Viper, growing dragon scales all over his body, and his snake head had transformed into a dragon head, yet he hadn't grown any dragon horns.
Before long, he could clearly feel the presence of four limbs.
Claws also began to appear on his limbs.
However, Luo Yan felt the movement on the top of his head cease; it seemed they had only grown a little, likely just two small bumps.
After a while, the bloodline evolution process concluded completely.
Luo Yan walked to the edge of Life Lake and reached out to manipulate the lake water into a mirror.
At a glance, he saw a flood dragon in the reflection.
There were two small bumps on the top of its head, white patterns on its neck, blue patterns on its back, an ochre-colored chest, and hard, fleshy spikes on the tip of its tail.
Looking at his current true form in the water mirror, Luo Yan was very satisfied.
Now that he had evolved into a Purple Thunder Flood Dragon, the distance to becoming a true pure-blooded dragon species would not be far!
Although this evolution was just as painful as the previous ones, having grown accustomed to it, Luo Yan did not make any significant noise.
Therefore, Xiao Wu and the others did not discover that Luo Yan had evolved once again.
"Once I comprehend the innate divine ability of the flood dragon, I can wait for Er Ming to successfully transform, and then go out to harvest some leeks!"
"Tang Hao, you just wait for me!"
Luo Yan retracted his true form and shifted back into his human shape.
"System, open the panel!" Luo Yan was also curious about what his current panel looked like.
As soon as he spoke, an electronic panel appeared before him:
Host: Luo Yan
Race: Purple Thunder Flood Dragon
Cultivation Realm: Tier 5 Demon King (Peak)
Physical Cultivation: Tier 6 Demon Emperor (Early Stage)
Resentment Points: 7,542,478
Awesome!
Although his current resentment points were no longer enough for another evolution.
Seeing that his cultivation had already reached the peak of the Tier 5 Demon King realm, Luo Yan felt a wave of satisfaction.
Relying on his flood dragon bloodline, he could at least fight across three minor realms within the same major realm; now, at the peak of the Tier 5 Demon King realm, he could easily defeat an early-stage Tier 6 Demon Emperor.
Not to mention that his physical body was already comparable to an early-stage Tier 6 Demon Emperor.
"System, how many resentment points are required for the next bloodline evolution?"
"One hundred million!"
Hearing this, Luo Yan was not overly surprised, as this evolution alone had consumed ten million resentment points.
Besides, Tang Hao had provided him with over ten million resentment points in one go before; he would just have to go find more Title Douluo to harvest as leeks later.
Luo Yan believed that he was not far from his next bloodline evolution.
Thinking of this, he put away his system panel and continued to sit cross-legged, contemplating his innate divine ability.
Notting Junior Soul Master Academy.
"Tang San, you have now cultivated to the level of a Soul Grand Master."
"At this moment, I have nothing else to teach you for the time being. For the next period of time, just focus on your cultivation!"
"Once you receive your graduation certificate, head straight to Suotuo City. There is an academy there called Shrek Academy. I hope you will be able to join Shrek Academy for your future studies!"
"I have some matters that I need to attend to, so we shall part ways for now. I will come to find you directly at Shrek Academy when the time comes!"
"I hope you will not disappoint me by then!"
In front of the academy gate, Yu Xiaogang stood at the entrance, repeatedly instructing Tang San who stood before him.
In truth, if it weren't for Tang Hao specifically asking him to provide extra guidance to Tang San, he would have left Notting Junior Soul Master Academy the moment he received the Elder Token three years ago.
He wanted to head to Martial Soul Hall to see if there was any way to solve the problems with his martial soul within their library.
"That's enough. We are only parting ways temporarily. What you need is to focus on your cultivation and not let me down!"
Seeing that Tang San wanted to say something more, Yu Xiaogang interrupted him preemptively.
"Rest assured, Teacher. I will definitely join Shrek Academy when the time comes!"
Hearing this, Tang San could only nod.
Afterward, Yu Xiaogang offered a few more reminders before parting ways with Tang San, boarding a carriage to set off on his journey.
After watching the carriage depart, Tang San turned around and returned to the academy to continue his cultivation.
Another half a year passed.
Luo Yan discovered that ever since he became a demonic beast, his perception of time had become increasingly weak.
Cultivating for three months felt as if only three or four days had passed, unlike when he was a human, where he would feel anxious every night before sleep knowing another day had gone by.
"I didn't expect it to have been over five years already. Time truly waits for no one..."
After absorbing the first ray of purple energy at sunrise, Luo Yan opened his eyes and sighed with emotion.
"Big Brother, it's only been five years; that's nothing. Back in the day, we would sleep for ten or twenty years at a time."
"There were even times we slept for a hundred years straight!"
"For over ten thousand years, Er Ming, Xiao Wu, and I have all spent our time like that..."
Da Ming sat cross-legged opposite Luo Yan, assuming that Luo Yan was reminiscing about their days in the Extreme North.
"You don't understand. Once you truly integrate into human society, you will realize just how precious five years of time is!"
Luo Yan took a deep breath.
"Brother Luo Yan, perhaps we will understand how you feel once we head to the human world in the future!" Xiao Wu laughed softly.
Luo Yan did not reply; he rubbed her rabbit ears and skillfully tidied her hair.
During this time, he had become proficient in helping Xiao Wu braid her Scorpion Braid.
Just as he finished braiding, a hearty laugh suddenly rang out from not far away: "Hahaha! I, Er Ming, have finally succeeded!"
Following that, a hulking figure walked toward the three of them.
Although they could not identify the person from the front, based on the voice they had just heard, the three of them were able to recognize that this must be Er Ming, who had successfully transformed.
