Daming Wanted to Evolve Too?

The Rose Hotel had become a complete wreck because of Luo Yan's tribulation.

Even its signboard had been obliterated by the lightning, leaving nothing but ruins.

"I didn't mean to..." Seeing the scene, Luo Yan felt a little embarrassed.

He spread out his spiritual sense and soon found Xiao Wu and the others.

"Brother Luo Yan, thank goodness you're okay!"

"That lightning tribulation was terrifying. Even the Heavenly Tribulations Daming, Er Ming, and I faced back then weren't a tenth as powerful!"

Seeing Luo Yan return unharmed, Xiao Wu's tense expression slowly relaxed.

She had watched from afar, and even from a distance, Luo Yan's tribulation had made her feel a deadly threat. That was one of the reasons she hadn't gone over to help him.

Zhu Zhuqing, standing beside Xiao Wu, also let out a quiet sigh of relief.

She had been no less worried about Luo Yan than Xiao Wu.

"That's right, big brother. Your tribulation was terrifying!"

"Compared to it, my hundred-thousand-year Heavenly Tribulation was just a tickle!"

Er Ming flashed to Luo Yan's side and looked him up and down with deep admiration.

He wanted to see whether Luo Yan had been hurt after enduring such a terrifying tribulation, but he couldn't spot the slightest injury on him.

Seeing this, the awe Er Ming felt for Luo Yan turned into admiration.

"With big brother's current strength, he could probably defeat that old human with one hand, right?"

Er Ming thought to himself.

Before, Luo Yan had only been strong enough to fight him and Daming to a standstill. Now he had left them far behind.

To Er Ming, this was simply inconceivable.

After all, they were all demon beasts. Even if your talent was higher than someone else's, the difference couldn't be too outrageous.

What Er Ming didn't know was that the gap between demon beasts wasn't just about talent. There was also...

"Er Ming, you and Daming just need to keep working hard. One day, you'll reach where I am now, and maybe even surpass me by far!"

Luo Yan didn't explain anything. He just smiled and patted Er Ming's burly shoulder.

Er Ming scratched his head with a goofy grin.

Daming said nothing, but his eyes burned as he gazed at Luo Yan, as if he wanted to devour him.

Even without releasing his aura, Luo Yan still gave him the oppressive feeling of a superior.

He also felt an intense temptation coming from him.

"Daming, if there's something you want, just say it," Luo Yan said, noticing Daming's odd expression.

Being stared at like that made him feel strange.

It reminded him of the gay men from his previous life, making him instinctively clench his rear.

"Um... big brother, could you give me another drop of your essence blood?"

"I feel like your essence blood could do a lot for me. It seems like it might make my bloodline... evolve!"

Daming looked hesitant.

It was only a guess, and he wasn't sure whether Luo Yan's current essence blood could evolve his bloodline.

But a voice deep inside him told him that if he could obtain Luo Yan's essence blood, he could undergo a transformation.

He didn't know whether this transformation was the bloodline evolution Luo Yan had mentioned before.

Luo Yan had told them about bloodline evolution, and the bloodline inheritance within Daming also contained fragments of information about it.

"Daming, big brother's essence blood would be incredibly useful to anyone. Not just you—even Sister Xiao Wu and I would benefit a lot from refining it."

"But big brother doesn't have much essence blood. Asking him for some would affect his cultivation, wouldn't it?"

Er Ming had now become Luo Yan's devoted follower. At the mention of Daming asking for essence blood, he immediately sounded displeased.

If Daming hadn't been his friend for tens of thousands of years, Er Ming would have started cursing him.

Uh...

Daming felt a little embarrassed too.

He'd been carried away by desire, and when Luo Yan asked, he'd blurted it out.

As a Tier 6 Demon Emperor, he knew how important essence blood was to a demon beast. He regretted saying those things.

"Er Ming, it's fine."

Hearing Er Ming, Luo Yan waved a hand.

His essence blood was indeed important to him, but he had no idea how long it would take to undergo his next bloodline evolution. He didn't know when he'd gather enough Resentment Points, either.

If his essence blood could make a real difference to Daming, giving him a drop was no problem.

After speaking, Luo Yan looked at Daming.

Daming's true form was the Sky Azure Bull Python, so he should also have Dragon Clan blood in his body.

Luo Yan had now completely evolved into a pure-blooded dragon. Although he and Daming didn't share the same attributes, they both possessed dragon blood.

Even the Dragon God back then had probably never evolved into a pure-blooded dragon.

That was why Luo Yan's essence blood was so tempting to Daming.

Thinking this over, Luo Yan continued, "Daming, you have dragon blood in your body too. It's similar to the Purple Thunder Blue Python bloodline I had before."

"Now that I've evolved into a pure-blooded dragon, that must be what's stirring this instinct in you."

"But this isn't necessarily a bad thing. My essence blood really might help you evolve. If one drop could help your bloodline evolve, then give it a try!"

As he spoke, Luo Yan condensed a drop of Nine Heavens Thunder Dragon essence blood in his palm and held it out to Daming.

If a single drop could help Daming evolve, that would be great.

Now that he had broken through to Tier 7 Demon Venerable, the amount of essence blood in his body had multiplied. One drop wasn't that important.

He could make it up in ten days or half a month.

"Thank you, big brother!"

Daming took the essence blood, so moved that he wanted to kowtow to Luo Yan.

That was something he'd learned during his time in the human world: if you didn't know how to thank someone, bow to them first.

"You're not just my little brother. You're Xiao Wu's little brother too. If I can help you, of course I will!"

Luo Yan hadn't expected Daming to try to kowtow. He laughed and helped him back up.

It seemed Daming and Er Ming hadn't spent all their time playing around in Suotuo City...

He almost laughed.

"Big brother, can I use your essence blood to evolve too?"

Seeing Luo Yan give Daming a drop, Er Ming's eyes lit up.

Although he didn't have dragon blood, Luo Yan's Dragon Clan Essence Blood would still be a great help to him and save him a lot of cultivation time.

He wanted some too.

"Er Ming, you don't have dragon blood, so why are you asking Brother Luo Yan for his essence blood?"

At Er Ming's words, Xiao Wu glared at him before Luo Yan could reply.

"Sister Xiao Wu... I..."

Er Ming scratched his head awkwardly.

"All right, Er Ming. I'll give you a drop too. Make sure you cultivate hard!"

Luo Yan didn't refuse. He condensed another drop of essence blood and handed it to Er Ming.

But after condensing two drops in a row, Luo Yan's complexion grew a little paler. Two drops wasn't a lot, but it wasn't nothing, either.

It still affected him somewhat.

"Thank you, big brother!"

Er Ming took the essence blood, just as excited as Daming.

"Hmph, Brother Luo Yan, why did you give him some? He can't even use it. He should just work hard at cultivating!"

Xiao Wu had sharp eyes and noticed Luo Yan's change. She immediately looked displeased.
