Partial Dragonification

Sudden, intense pain spread through every part of Lin Feng's body. He threw his head back and roared in agony as black scales strangely began to emerge across his skin. The sharp scales pierced through his clothes.

Black scales slowly surfaced on Lin Feng's thighs and arms as well. The inhuman pain made the veins on his forehead bulge, his expression twisting into something terrifying.

An even more intense pain struck, and a sharp spine slowly emerged from Lin Feng's forehead.

Lin Feng's entire body convulsed with pain. His spine trembled along his back as spike after spike slowly grew from it, piercing through the surface muscles and gradually pushing out.

The pain made Lin Feng let out a low growl. Sweat seeped from every part of his body, and as it did, black scales continued to appear all over him. Each scale looked almost exactly like those of a Spined Iron-Armored Dragon, differing only in size.

Lin Feng gritted his teeth and let out a low sound from his throat, releasing a little of the agonizing pain. At the same time, he used his formidable willpower to keep circulating the secret art of the Dragonblood Secret Manual.

Shhk! A bloodstained tail covered in black scales slowly emerged from the base of Lin Feng's spine. It was like a long whip of steel.

According to the Dragonblood Secret Manual, Dragonblood Warriors had three forms. The third was the fully dragonified form. In this state, a Dragonblood Warrior's entire body was covered in blue dragon scales, and even a dragon horn appeared on the forehead. This was also the form in which a Dragonblood Warrior was strongest.

The second form was partial dragonification, in which parts of the body turned dragonlike. Its power was somewhat weaker.

The first form was the normal human form. Dragonblood Warriors usually remained in this state, which was the weakest of their three forms.

According to the Dragonblood Secret Manual, when one first mastered Dragonblood Battle Qi, the body would enter the third form uncontrollably. This first transformation would be extremely painful, but it would only happen once. Later transformations would no longer hurt.

A deep blue liquid, almost black, spread throughout Lin Feng's body. Every muscle and meridian continuously absorbed this energy, and his physical strength increased at a terrifying rate. This rapid improvement was just as painful.

Damn, drinking live dragon blood really isn't something a person should do. If I'd known it would hurt this much, I never would've awakened the Dragonblood Warrior bloodline.

Lin Feng endured the intense pain, regretting his decision to himself.

My willpower is way too strong. Hurry up and let me pass out from the pain.

Lin Feng even wished he would faint. If he passed out, at least he'd be able to get some relief.

"Ah!"

Lin Feng's whole body suddenly shuddered again. The pain in his fingers and toes cut to the bone. The tips of his fingers had all become sharp, like miniature Dragon Claws. The agony of claws growing out of his body made Lin Feng feel as though he'd almost lost all sensation.

A wave of dizziness washed over Lin Feng. He closed his eyes, and his consciousness fell completely asleep.

Boom!

Lin Feng crashed to the ground.

"Uh, is he dead?"

After Lin Feng had screamed and shouted like a madman for a while, he suddenly collapsed. Sadius was taken aback and was about to go check on him when she noticed a little figure blocking her path.

"Squeak, squeak!"

Worried about Lin Feng's safety, Beibei feared Sadius might hurt him. He made himself as big as he could and waved his little claws at her.

"Don't worry. I don't mean Lin Feng any harm. Otherwise, I wouldn't have bled for him. Besides, I'm counting on him to take me to the human world for fun."

Sadius knew that the strange black Shadow Mouse before her was Lin Feng's contracted magical beast, so she didn't simply swat him away with a claw.

Three days later.

Lin Feng opened his eyes and sprang to his feet.

He was stark naked. His clothes had been reduced to shreds during his first transformation, but now that he'd returned to his normal human form, he looked just like an ordinary person.

"I'm finally back to normal."

Although his dragonified form was powerful, Lin Feng still preferred his normal human form.

"Boss, you're awake." Beibei's familiar, clear voice rang out in Lin Feng's mind.

"Yeah. Beibei, how many days have passed?" Lin Feng asked in his mind.

"Three days, Boss. You were unconscious for three whole days. If our souls weren't linked and I hadn't known you were okay, I would've thought you were dead." Beibei scrunched up his little nose, looking delighted.

"Hey, Lin Feng, what happened to the scars on your face? They're gone. You look better now!"

The sudden, clear voice made Lin Feng freeze for a moment. Then he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly pulled a shirt and shorts from his Space Ring and put them on. Only then did he turn to Sadius and curse angrily, "You perverted dragon! Don't you know men and women should keep their distance?"

Sadius pursed her lips in disdain and said something that left Lin Feng speechless.

"Honestly, your body isn't anything special. You're not strong, and you don't have much muscle. Besides, I wasn't wearing clothes either, so we're even."

At a loss for words with Sadius, Lin Feng ignored her and began examining his own body.

"Just as the Dragonblood Secret Manual said, the first transformation completely remakes the body, altering it from the inside and even changing the skin on the outside." Lin Feng now had not a single scar on his body. It was utterly flawless.

Lin Feng felt the surging power in his body, and excitement stirred in his heart.

"My body is incredibly strong." Lin Feng felt that his strength had increased at least dozens of times. Awakening the Dragonblood Warrior bloodline greatly improved one's physical strength. Even in human form, he was stronger than before he'd awakened the bloodline.

He clenched his right fist, and Dragonblood Battle Qi surged through his body of its own accord. Lin Feng suddenly punched the stone wall beside him.

Boom! Like steel crashing against steel, his fist smashed a crater into the wall, and cracks radiated outward from it in every direction.

"This... This must be the strength of an Eighth-level Warrior!" Lin Feng stared in astonishment. He'd known from the original story that awakening the Dragonblood Warrior bloodline would greatly transform the body and increase one's strength and warrior level, but he hadn't expected such an incredible leap.

Lin Feng hadn't cultivated Battle Qi before. He'd barely managed to reach the level of a Seventh-level Warrior through sheer physical strength, but now he'd risen straight to the eighth level, perhaps even the middle of the eighth level. The speed of his improvement was astonishing.

"And this is without dragonification. If I transform, I'll probably reach the peak of the ninth level!" Lin Feng estimated to himself.

With that thought, Lin Feng transformed. He controlled the crystallized Dragonblood Battle Qi gathered in his dantian, and streams of blue-black liquid immediately surged from it, rushing toward his limbs and every part of his body.

Shhk! A low sound rang out as black dragon scales quickly surfaced across Lin Feng's skin. A black dragon tail, nearly two meters long and like a steel whip, emerged from the base of his spine, while spikes sprouted along his back.

Compared with the Spined Iron-Armored Dragon, Lin Feng had slightly fewer spikes on his back, and they were slightly shorter.

"I feel like my whole body is filled with endless power." Lin Feng couldn't help feeling excited. What an incredible feeling. He was a Dragonblood Warrior, one of the Four Ultimate Warriors of the entire Yulan continent. He'd only just begun cultivating, yet he already possessed such tremendous strength.

No wonder they were called Ultimate Warriors!

"My strength is now dozens of times greater than it was before." Lin Feng held out his right hand. Scales covered his arm, and his fingernails were as sharp as knives.
