This bloodline evolution was very quick. The process ended without taking much time.

Whoosh~

Luo Yan felt the pain all over his body gradually fade and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

After the evolution had completely ended, Luo Yan waved a hand, and a curtain of water appeared before him.

His body was reflected clearly on its surface.

"Hmm...

Not bad. It's a lot more remarkable than the Dark Thunder Red Sun Hound.

I'm still a canine, but as long as I keep evolving, one day I'll become a dragon!"

Luo Yan looked at his true form in the water and nodded slightly.

He was fairly satisfied with his current appearance. After all, just a few days ago, he had looked like some bizarre cross between a pig and a dog.

Whoosh!

After checking all the changes, Luo Yan transformed back into human form.

The information on the system panel had changed as well:

Host: Luo Yan Race: Purple Heaven Thunder Dog Cultivation: Peak Tier 2 Demon Warrior Physical Cultivation: Early Tier 3 Demon Master Resentment Points: 786

"System, how many Resentment Points do I need for my next bloodline evolution?"

Seeing that there was no evolution prompt beside his race, Luo Yan knew he didn't have enough Resentment Points to undergo another bloodline evolution.

"One hundred thousand!"

The system's reply was concise.

Hearing its answer, Luo Yan felt an ache in his balls.

"Forget it. I should test my current strength first. If I'm strong enough, it'll be much safer to go out and get Resentment Points."

After speaking, Luo Yan closed the system panel and walked out of the small cave.

As soon as he left the cave, Luo Yan sensed a somewhat powerful aura. After breaking through to peak Tier 2 Demon Warrior, his perception could cover a radius of a hundred meters.

He could also sense that this Soul Beast was much stronger than the Datura Snake he had encountered before.

This place was already deep in the Soul Hunting Forest. Could it be a thousand-year Soul Beast?

Although the Soul Hunting Forest was only a small Soul Beast forest, it still contained thousand-year Soul Beasts. Some powerful families also kept thousand-year Soul Beasts in captivity there.

"Its aura doesn't feel threatening..."

After thinking it over, Luo Yan still headed toward the source of the aura.

Before long, a chameleon-like Soul Beast appeared in his view.

Its body was like a flowing painting, constantly changing color with the subtle shifts in its surroundings, like a dancer wearing an invisibility cloak.

If Luo Yan hadn't been able to sense its aura, he might not have noticed it at a glance.

As Luo Yan fixed his gaze on the chameleon, a panel appeared beside it:

[Phantom Color Shadow Dragon]

[Race: Dragonkin (Can Evolve)]

[Age: 2,432 years]

"I didn't know the system had this function. Not bad. I wonder if it works on humans..."

Luo Yan noticed the panel beside the Phantom Color Shadow Dragon too.

Sensing Luo Yan's presence, the Phantom Color Shadow Dragon turned to look at him, its eyes filled with wariness.

Compared to humans, Soul Beasts had stronger senses. The Phantom Color Shadow Dragon could feel a dangerous aura emanating from Luo Yan.

Roar!

As a thousand-year Soul Beast, the Phantom Color Shadow Dragon had gained a small measure of intelligence, so it didn't attack Luo Yan the moment it saw him.

But once Luo Yan sensed that the Phantom Color Shadow Dragon posed no threat, he charged straight at it.

According to the system panel, his physical cultivation was stronger than his spiritual cultivation, so Luo Yan didn't use spiritual power. He went straight in, intending to fight the Phantom Color Shadow Dragon physically.

Seeing Luo Yan charge at it, the Phantom Color Shadow Dragon was wary of him, but it had no choice but to fight back.

Its long, thin tail swept toward Luo Yan.

It moved incredibly fast. Before Luo Yan could react, the tail smacked him in the chest.

The clothes Luo Yan had formed from spiritual power shattered instantly, but the tail's blow caused him no injury at all.

It didn't even leave a scratch.

Luo Yan continued charging toward the Phantom Color Shadow Dragon, his momentum undiminished.

As the Phantom Color Shadow Dragon watched in shock, Luo Yan punched through its skull.

Luo Yan was clearly stunned.

"Too weak!"

"With strength like this, I shouldn't have any trouble in Nuoding City, as long as I don't run into Tang Hao..."

Coming back to his senses, Luo Yan pulled his arm back and shook the blood from his hand.

On the Douluo Continent, even an average Soul Elder would struggle to face a thousand-year Soul Beast alone. An ordinary Soul Ancestor wouldn't stand a chance against a Soul Beast that was over two thousand years old.

By comparison, Luo Yan felt that nothing below Spirit King could pose a threat to him. He might even be able to fight a Spirit King.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Luo Yan's face.

"Peak Tier 2 Demon Warrior, and I'm already this strong. Not bad. After three or four more bloodline evolutions, I should be able to do whatever I want on the Douluo Continent..."

"The key now is to get out there and rake in some Resentment Points!"

Three days later.

In a hotel across from Notting Junior Soul Master Academy.

Luo Yan lay at ease in a room on the hotel's top floor, looking through the window at Notting Junior Soul Master Academy across the street.

After two days of experiments, he had gained a preliminary understanding of the system's rules for obtaining Resentment Points.

The system had said that causing someone to experience negative emotions would generate Resentment Points, but Luo Yan discovered that not everyone could give him Resentment Points.

People without Soul Power couldn't provide him with any at all.

And the higher a person's Soul Power, the more Resentment Points they generated. Luo Yan estimated that each additional Soul Ring multiplied the amount by ten.

For example, a One-Ring Soul Master would generate 10–100 Resentment Points, and so on.

"Looks like the only place in Nuoding City where I can get enough Resentment Points is Notting Junior Soul Master Academy..."

Watching the students coming and going at Notting Junior Soul Master Academy, Luo Yan let out a cackle.

The higher a Soul Master's Soul Power Level, the more Resentment Points they generated. And in Nuoding City, Notting Junior Soul Master Academy had the most Soul Masters.

The teachers' Soul Power Levels weren't lower than those of the Soul Masters at the Spirit Hall Branch, either.

"Ding! A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast has been detected. Mission issued: Bring a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast under your command and make it a true Soul Beast!

Mission Rewards:

1. Breath Concealment Art (Can conceal or alter your aura; undetectable by anyone below three tiers higher)

2. Bloodline Soul Guide ×1 (Sacrifice your bloodline to summon the soul of a same-race demon beast three tiers above you. The more bloodline you sacrifice, the stronger it will be.)"

Just as Luo Yan was thinking about how to maximize his haul of Resentment Points from the academy, a mission panel suddenly appeared before him.

At that moment, out of the corner of his eye, Luo Yan saw a little boy and girl walking out of the academy gates.

He looked more closely and saw that the boy was Tang San, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

The little girl looked about seven or eight years old. She wore a short pink skirt and a pair of rabbit-ear ornaments.

Her black scorpion braid hung past her hips. Her pretty little face was rosy and fair, and her whole appearance was adorable.
