Hogg Transforms into a Dragonblood Warrior

"Father, this is only one of the gifts; there are others."

Watching his father's excitement, Linley felt a sense of joy in his heart as well.

He had finally proven to his father that he was capable of revitalizing the Baruch Clan.

"There are more?"

Hogg trembled as he put away the ten level-eight Magic Beast cores, and upon hearing Linley's words, he was even more shocked.

Clearly, the second gift was even more precious.

What could possibly be more valuable than a million gold coins?

Hogg could not even imagine.

"That's right, Father." Linley nodded, then took a test tube filled with crimson liquid from his interspatial ring. "This is the second gift my teacher sent for you, Father: Azure Dragon blood."

"Azure Dragon blood?"

This time, it was Hogg's turn to be puzzled.

After all, how could a tiny test tube of blood possibly compare to a million gold coins?

"That's right, Father, Azure Dragon blood." Linley nodded slightly and continued to explain, "This Azure Dragon blood can activate the Dragonblood Warrior bloodline, allowing a person to awaken as a Dragonblood Warrior."

"Clang~"

As soon as Linley finished speaking, Hogg stood up abruptly, knocking his chair over in the process.

"Linley, you—are you telling the truth?" Hogg reached out with trembling hands, yet he was afraid to break the test tube. "This Azure Dragon blood, can it really allow someone to awaken the Dragonblood Warrior bloodline?"

"Father, it is absolutely true." Linley nodded solemnly, then placed the test tube on the table.

"Sss-sss~~~"

Countless golden scales emerged from his body, and in the blink of an eye, Linley had transformed into a Dragonblood Warrior over two meters tall.

Watching this scene, Hogg simply collapsed onto the floor.

"Dragonblood Warrior, Dragonblood Warrior!"

The next moment, ignoring everything else, Hogg scrambled on his hands and knees to Linley's feet, stroking the scales on Linley's body.

"Father!"

Linley's raspy voice rang out as he helped Hogg up.

"My Dragonblood Warrior transformation was triggered by consuming dragon blood, which awakened the Dragonblood Warrior bloodline within me."

"Good, good, good!"

Tears welled up in Hogg's eyes as his right hand trembled while gently stroking Linley.

"Good, Linley, good!"

Hogg wanted to say something, but the words caught in his throat and he couldn't get them out.

He could only keep wiping away tears and saying it was good.

"Father." Linley helped Hogg sit back in his chair. "Dragon blood can trigger the bloodline within us, and the appearance after transformation is closely related to the type of dragon blood consumed."

As he spoke, Linley spread the wings behind his back.

"The blood I consumed came from a winged dragon, which is why I have wings after transforming, allowing me to fly even without reaching the Saint-level."

While speaking, Linley placed the test tube into Hogg's hands.

"My teacher said this vial of blood is Azure Dragon blood, which will allow you to transform into the most orthodox Dragonblood Warrior."

"This, Linley, this is too precious." A flash of hesitation crossed Hogg's face, but he eventually shook his head. "You should keep it. If your brother's bloodline concentration isn't high enough, give it to him, or save it in case your future descendants..."

"Father, don't you worry!" Linley said with a smile. "Since I can transform into a Dragonblood Warrior, I will definitely become a Saint-level powerhouse. If Wharton or my descendants don't have a high enough bloodline concentration, I can simply go and subdue Saint-level dragons. There is no need to worry."

Hearing Linley's explanation, Hogg was stunned for a moment.

That's right!

A Dragonblood Warrior is a destined Saint-level powerhouse.

His own son would be a Saint-level powerhouse in the future.

Furthermore.

After consuming the Azure Dragon blood, he himself could also become a Saint-level powerhouse.

For a moment, Hogg's breathing became heavy.

"Good, good!" Hogg nodded repeatedly, bringing the test tube before his eyes. "How should this be consumed?"

"Just drink it directly." Linley said with a smile. "My teacher specially processed this vial of blood. If it were the blood of other dragons, it would need to be taken with Blue Heart Grass to be safe."

Hearing Linley's explanation, Hogg finally pulled out the wooden stopper.

"Hoo~"

Exhaling a long breath, Hogg drank the blood in the test tube in one gulp.

Unlike the agony Linley had experienced during his transformation, there was not a trace of pain on Hogg's face.

"Sss-sss~"

Beneath Hogg's skin, cyan dragon scales began to sprout outward.

Seeing this, Hogg couldn't help but recall the contents of the Dragonblood Secret Manual and began to circulate the technique.

In just a moment, Hogg's entire body was covered in cyan dragon scales.

His original hands and feet had now transformed into ferocious dragon claws.

From his tailbone, a thick, cyan dragon tail grew out.

On his forehead, a straight, cyan dragon horn jutted out.

His brown pupils turned gold, filled with a cold, ruthless expression.

"Is this... a Dragonblood Warrior?"

Hogg's hoarse voice rang out as he looked at his own hands, feeling the surging power within his body.

"A peak rank eight warrior, just a tiny bit away from breaking through to become a rank nine warrior."

Hogg sensed his own strength, his tone filled with pleasant surprise.

"Linley!" Immediately, Hogg's golden pupils turned toward Linley. "Thank you."

"Father, this is what I should do." Linley shook his head. "Father's physical body is at the peak of rank six. As long as you cultivate the Dragonblood Secret Manual, it won't take a year to break through to become a rank seven warrior, and under Dragon Transformation, you will possess rank nine strength."

Linley's words caused a surge of excitement to rise within Hogg's heart.

A rank nine warrior—a rank nine warrior absolutely possessed enough strength to take revenge.

But the next moment, Hogg froze in place.

After transforming, Hogg was slightly taller than Linley.

However, in Hogg's perception, Linley's strength was actually even greater than his own.

"Linley, what is your current strength?"

Hogg's tone carried a hint of trembling.

"Peak rank nine." A ferocious smile appeared on the corner of Linley's mouth. "In my human form, I have already reached rank eight."

"Good, that's great!"

Linley's words made Hogg even more overjoyed.

With Linley's strength being greater than his own, if the two of them went to take revenge together, the chances of success would be much higher.

But before Hogg could speak, Hillman pushed the door open and entered.

"Lord Hogg, time is running out. Who are you people? Where are Lord Hogg and Young Master Linley?"

Hillman's entire body was tense as he stared at the two monsters in the parlor.

Both were over two meters tall; one was covered in golden scales, with a pair of wings retracted on his back and a thick, golden tail sweeping back and forth.

The other was covered in cyan dragon scales, without wings, but also possessed a thick, cyan tail.

"Uncle Hillman, do you not recognize me?"

Linley spoke with a smile, and the expression on Hillman's face gradually shifted from gravity to surprise.

"Young Master Linley? Then you are Lord Hogg?" Hillman hurriedly closed the door. "You, you are... Dragonblood Warrior transformations?"

Hillman's tone was filled with disbelief.

Hillman's family had served the Baruch Clan in Wushan Town for generations.

Hillman and Hogg had an even closer relationship, even calling each other brothers in private.

He naturally understood the Dragonblood Warriors of the Baruch Clan.

However, Hillman had never seen a Dragonblood Warrior transform with his own eyes, let alone when the bloodline concentration of both Linley and Hogg was supposedly insufficient.

Therefore, Hillman had not initially associated the two of them with Dragonblood Warriors.

But as Linley spoke, Hillman instantly thought of the Dragonblood Warriors.

"That's right, Hillman." Hogg said, deactivating his transformation in front of Hillman. "It's me. All of this is thanks to Linley."

"It should be thanks to my teacher." Linley also deactivated his transformation. "By the way, Uncle Hillman, what time were you saying was running out?"

"Right, right, right." Hillman said with a face full of smiles. "We should set off, otherwise we won't make it in time for the Magic Test tomorrow morning."
