Sub-Dragon Transformation

Suddenly, a violent pain began to spread throughout Lin Feng's entire body. Lin Feng threw his head back and roared in agony as black scales eerily erupted across the surface of his skin, the sharp edges piercing right through his clothes.

Black scales slowly emerged from Lin Feng's thighs and arms as well. This inhuman torture caused the veins on his body to bulge, his expression twisting into a terrifying, hideous mask.

An even more intense wave of pain struck, and a sharp spike slowly began to protrude from the center of Lin Feng's forehead.

Lin Feng's entire body convulsed in agony. His spine began to tremble from top to bottom as sharp spikes slowly grew out from his vertebrae, piercing through the layers of muscle and emerging into the open.

This pain forced Lin Feng to let out a low, involuntary howl. Sweat poured from every pore of his body, and as the sweat seeped out, black scales continued to manifest all over him. Each scale was shaped remarkably like those of a Spined Iron-Armored Dragon, the only difference being their smaller size.

Lin Feng gritted his teeth, a low, guttural sound escaping his throat to vent some of the excruciating pain. At the same time, he used his immense willpower to continuously circulate the techniques of the Dragonblood Secret Manual.

"Sshhh." A blood-stained tail covered in black scales slowly emerged from the base of Lin Feng's spine. This tail looked just like a steel whip.

According to the records in the Dragonblood Secret Manual, Dragonblood Warriors possess three forms. The third form is the complete Dragonform. In this state, the Dragonblood Warrior is covered from head to toe in cyan dragon scales, and a dragon horn even appears on their forehead. This is the state where a Dragonblood Warrior is at their most powerful.

The second form is the semi-Dragonform. In this state, the body is only partially "dragonized," and the strength is slightly weaker.

The first form is the normal human form. Under normal circumstances, Dragonblood Warriors remain in this state. This is also the weakest of the three forms.

According to the Dragonblood Secret Manual, the first time one successfully cultivates "Dragonblood Battle Qi," the body will uncontrollably enter the "third form." This first mutation is extremely painful, but it only happens once; future transformations will not be this agonizing.

A deep cyan, almost black liquid flowed through every part of Lin Feng's body. Every muscle and meridian was constantly absorbing this energy, and Lin Feng's physical constitution was improving at a terrifying speed. This extreme rate of improvement was also causing Lin Feng immense pain.

"Damn it, drinking fresh dragon blood is definitely not a job for a human. If I had known it would be this painful, I wouldn't have triggered the Dragonblood Warrior bloodline in my body," Lin Feng thought, secretly regretting his choice while enduring the intense agony.

"My willpower is just too strong. Please, just let me pass out from the pain." Lin Feng actually prayed to lose consciousness; if he could just pass out, he would be much more comfortable.

"Ah!"

Lin Feng's entire body shuddered once more. The pain in his ten fingers and ten toes became bone-deep. One could see the tips of every finger becoming sharp, like miniature versions of dragon claws. The pain of having these claws grow out by force nearly caused Lin Feng to lose all sense of feeling.

A wave of dizziness flooded Lin Feng's brain. He closed his eyes, and his consciousness instantly drifted into a deep slumber.

"Boom!"

Lin Feng collapsed to the ground with a loud thud.

"Uh, he didn't die, did he?"

Seeing Lin Feng suddenly collapse after a bout of frantic screaming, Sadius was somewhat stunned. Just as she was about to step forward to check on Lin Feng's condition, she suddenly found a small creature blocking her path.

"Squeak, squeak."

Worried about Lin Feng's safety and fearing that Sadius might harm him, Beibei tried his best to make his body look as large as possible, waving his little claws at Sadius.

"Don't worry, I have no ill will toward Lin Feng. Otherwise, I wouldn't have bled for him. I'm still counting on him to take me to the human world to play."

Sadius knew that this strange black "Shadow Mouse" was Lin Feng's contracted Magic Beast, so she didn't just swat it away.

Three days later.

Lin Feng opened his eyes and suddenly scrambled to his feet.

At this moment, Lin Feng was completely naked; his clothes had long since been shredded during his first "Dragonform" transformation. Having returned to his normal human form, he looked just like any other person.

"Finally changed back."

Although the Dragonform state was incredibly powerful, Lin Feng still preferred his normal human form.

"Boss, you're awake!" That crisp, familiar voice rang out in Lin Feng's mind.

"Yeah, Beibei, how many days has it been?" Lin Feng asked in his heart.

"Three days, Boss. You were unconscious for three whole days. If it weren't for the faint connection between our souls, I would have thought you were a goner." Beibei wrinkled his little nose, looking delighted.

"Hey, Lin Feng, how come the scars on your face are gone? You've become handsome!"

The sudden, crisp voice made Lin Feng freeze. He immediately remembered something and quickly pulled a set of shorts and a shirt from his Space Ring to put on, then turned to Sadius, shouting angrily, "You lecherous dragon, don't you know that men and women should keep their distance?"

Who would have thought that Sadius would curl her lip in disdain and say something that left Lin Feng speechless.

"To be honest, your physique isn't really anything special. You're not strong, and you don't have much muscle. Besides, I'm not wearing clothes either, so we're even."

Lin Feng, truly speechless at Sadius, ignored her and began to examine his own body.

"Sure enough, just as recorded in the Dragonblood Secret Manual, the first 'Dragonform' completely remolds the entire body. It's a constant internal transformation that even changes the outer skin." Lin Feng's body was now free of any scars, reaching a state of absolute perfection.

Feeling the surging power within his body, Lin Feng felt a surge of excitement.

"What powerful physical strength." Lin Feng felt that his current strength had increased by at least several dozen times compared to before. After triggering the "Dragonblood Warrior" bloodline, one's entire physical constitution improved significantly; even in human form, he was much stronger than before the bloodline was triggered.

He clenched his right fist, and the Dragonblood Battle Qi within his body naturally surged. Lin Feng slammed his fist into the nearby stone wall.

"Boom!" Like steel striking stone, the wall was smashed, creating a crater and causing cracks to spread in all directions from the impact.

"This, this... I reckon I have the strength of an eighth-rank warrior now." Lin Feng was dumbfounded. Although he knew from the original text that triggering the Dragonblood Warrior bloodline would cause a major physical transformation and increase his strength and warrior rank, he hadn't expected such an exaggerated improvement.

Lin Feng hadn't cultivated Battle Qi before; he had only barely managed to reach the seventh-rank warrior level through his sheer physical strength. But now, he had jumped directly to the eighth rank, perhaps even the mid-eighth rank. This rate of improvement was simply terrifying.

"And this is without even using the Dragonform. If I were to transform, I'd probably reach the peak of the ninth rank!" Lin Feng estimated in his heart.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng transformed. He controlled the crystal-shaped "Dragonblood Battle Qi" gathered in his lower dantian, and instantly, streams of cyan-black liquid surged wildly from his dantian to his limbs and bones.

"Sshhh." A low sound rang out. Black dragon scales rapidly emerged on the surface of Lin Feng's skin. At the same time, a black dragon tail, nearly two meters long and resembling a steel whip, sprouted from the base of his spine, and sharp spikes emerged along his back.

Compared to the Spined Iron-Armored Dragon, the spikes on Lin Feng's back were slightly fewer in number and slightly shorter in length.

"I feel like I have endless power throughout my entire body now." Lin Feng couldn't help but feel excited. What a powerful feeling! A Dragonblood Warrior, one of the four ultimate warriors of the Yulan continent—he had only just begun his cultivation, and he already possessed such immense strength.

Truly worthy of being an ultimate warrior!

"My current strength is several dozen times greater than it was just a moment ago." Lin Feng stretched out his right hand; his arm was now covered in scales, and his fingernails were as sharp as blades.
