"Ah~~~~"

Linley, who had long since lost all his strength, suddenly let out a renewed, miserable scream.

"Sss-sss~"

Individual scales began to extend from the flesh of Linley's cheeks.

In just a quarter of an hour, Linley had completely transformed into a dragon-scaled being covered from head to toe in golden scales.

However, this was not the end.

Five protrusions on Linley's head slowly bulged outward.

The protrusion on his forehead was the largest, eventually forming a golden, spiral-shaped dragon horn about three inches long.

The other four protrusions were smaller, eventually turning into smaller dragon horns as well.

From a distance, it looked as if Linley were wearing a golden crown.

"Haa~ haa~"

As the transformation ended, Linley lay on the ground, his breathing shallow.

The next moment, the countless scales began to retract and dissipate.

Along with the dragon horns on his head, the wings on his back, and his tail, everything vanished completely.

Linley lay naked on the ground.

"Grandpa Doehring." Linley struggled to open his eyes to look at Doehring, "I'm so tired, I need to sleep for a while, don't let anyone disturb me..."

Before Linley could finish his sentence, he fell into a deep sleep.

Before long, the sound of Linley's steady breathing echoed through the cave.

Doehring released the controlled Beibei, his eyes filled with confusion as he looked at Linley.

What exactly was Linley's identity?

This transformation was definitely not something an ordinary human possessed.

Could it be that the Baruch Clan were descendants of god-level beings from those Higher Planes?

After all, in the Yulan Continent, Doehring had never heard of a race like Linley's that could transform.

In fact, in the entire Yulan Continent, apart from Magical Beasts, the only intelligent race was humanity.

Although, according to historical records, the Yulan Continent once had orcs and elves.

But even more than five thousand years ago, during the era when Doehring was active, elves and orcs had long since gone extinct.

As a Saint-level powerhouse, Doehring considered himself quite knowledgeable.

Yet, the scene of Linley's transformation just now was something he had truly never seen before.

"What was that potion?" Doehring's mind was now completely filled with doubt, "The secrets on Linley..."

And just as Doehring was pondering.

Inside the System Space, Lin Ke looked at the sleeping Linley with a face full of smiles.

"Ultimate Warrior Transformation is simply too outrageous in a material plane!"

Lin Ke couldn't help but shake his head.

Before taking the dragon blood and transforming, Linley wasn't even a first-rank warrior.

However, after taking the dragon blood and transforming.

Even in his human form, Linley had already reached the level of a third-rank warrior, not far from the fourth rank.

And after his Dragon Transformation, he had reached the level of a seventh-rank warrior.

Admittedly, apart from breaking through to the Saint-level, a warrior's cultivation was always much simpler than a magus's.

But that also depended on the time involved.

In particular, there were no shortcuts to a warrior's cultivation; only day-after-day of grueling training was the true path.

But what about Linley?

He was not even nine years old yet.

A nine-year-old seventh-rank warrior.

"A seventh-rank warrior, and he can cultivate the Dragonblood Secret Manual." Lin Ke slumped on the sofa, rubbing his chin, "Next, I can actually start issuing some quests for Linley to kill Magical Beasts."

Thinking of this, the corners of Lin Ke's mouth curled up slightly as he began to design the quests.

Linley's Dragon Transformation lasted for a full twelve hours.

And right in the core area of Wushan.

"Roar~"

A Bloodthirsty Wild Boar, two meters tall and nearly four meters long, with a body the color of fresh blood, turned its crimson eyes toward a certain direction.

The scent of blood.

A thick, bloody scent.

Moreover, for it, this bloody scent was an irresistible temptation.

Perhaps, after devouring it, it could break through and become a level seven Bloodthirsty Wild Boar.

"Hmph hmph~"

The Bloodthirsty Wild Boar scraped its hind hooves against the ground twice.

Immediately, its truck-like body crashed through a giant tree, charging toward the direction from which the bloody scent originated.

On the other side.

Linley felt as if he had had a dream.

A very, very long dream.

His nose felt a bit damp, causing Linley to slowly open his eyes.

Beibei was lying on his chest, using its two front paws to grab his nose and lick it.

"Oof~"

Linley casually grabbed Beibei off his body, sat up, and stretched his limbs.

"Refreshing~"

Linley had never felt so refreshed and clear-headed in his life.

His mind was incredibly sharp, and his body felt as if it had an inexhaustible supply of strength.

"Linley!" Doehring's voice rang out, "You're finally awake. Is there anything uncomfortable about your body?"

Doehring drifted out from the Coiling Dragon Ring, looking at Linley with a worried expression.

"Grandpa Doehring, don't worry!" Linley shook his head, stood up, and clenched his fist to show off his muscles, "I've never felt better."

As he spoke, Linley silently recited in his heart, opening the System Panel.

Name: Linley Baruch Age: 8 Energy Points: 8 Physique: 4700 (5 million) Mental Strength: 4.7 Battle Qi: 0 Magic Power: 49 Elemental Affinity: Earth (Super), Wind (Super), Destruction (Superior), Fire (Medium), Water (Super, Hidden) Law Comprehension: None Battle Qi Manual: None Meditation Method: Pu'ang Royal Meditation Method

"Big Brother Lin Ke." Looking at his attributes, Linley couldn't help but blink his eyes, "My attributes, you didn't make a mistake, did you?"

Linley seemed somewhat lacking in confidence.

The sudden increase in strength left Linley without an accurate concept of how powerful his physical body had become.

He only knew that he was very strong.

Stronger than he was in the past.

But exactly how strong, Linley wasn't sure.

However.

Weren't the numbers on the Attribute Panel a bit too outrageous?

"No, there is no mistake." Inside the System Space, Lin Ke shook his head slightly, "For warriors and mages, every level of improvement represents a tenfold gap."

As he spoke, Lin Ke waved his hand, and a screen appeared before Linley, detailing the differences between various levels of strength.

"The physical and Battle Qi limit for a level one warrior is 5 points, while by level two, the limit is already 50 points." Lin Ke paused, then continued, "Before your Dragon Transformation, you were already close to a level four warrior, and after Dragon Transformation, you were at the peak of level seven, but since you haven't practiced the Dragonblood Secret Manual yet, you have no Battle Qi."

Lin Ke's explanation made Linley nod slightly, but then an excited expression began to emerge on his face.

It wasn't just his warrior strength that had broken through.

The most critical thing was that his mental strength had also successfully broken through.

It had reached 47 times that of his peers.

As for his magic power, it was already approaching the peak of a level two mage.

This meant that in the next few days, as long as he meditated a little, he could directly become a level three mage.

Thinking of this, Linley's breathing became somewhat heavy.

"Be careful, Linley." Doehring looked at the grinning Linley and reminded him, "A Magical Beast is approaching, a level six Bloodthirsty Wild Boar."

And the moment Doehring's voice fell, a system prompt appeared before Linley's eyes.

[Mission: Kill the Magical Beast]
