Preparations

"The Life Essence Pearl, cutting-edge research in the Nature School..."

Sulu gazed at the emerald green water droplet in his hand, on which a clear, sparkling drop of dew seemed to have condensed, making one yearn to swallow it.

He swallowed it whole and felt a surge of life force within his body.

[Ding! Absorbed unknown life energy, Constitution +0.5, gained temporary healing power boost!]

A tooltip appeared on the Attribute Panel.

"0.5? Not bad, this is really a good product..."

Sulu then looked at the pool of blood in front of him.

This is a magic circle he built based on his own Occult Lore, referencing the rituals and potion knowledge of the Main World such as ' Sivinardo's Flesh Ritual ' and ' Craig's Flesh ', and adding the results of Wizard research in this world. It can maximize the effect of ' Dragon Blood Baptism '!

Thump!

Sulu leaped into the pool, his face immediately contorting in pain.

Sizzle!

The bright red pool water looked like highly concentrated sulfuric acid, constantly corroding his body.

"Ah..."

Skin ulceration, muscle dissolution... all of which were continuously healed by the Sturdy and temporarily amplified self-healing abilities, the effects of which were no less than being torn to pieces!

Amidst this intense pain, the entire ritual began to unfold.

As the four Dragon Crystal melted, strands of pure dragon blood essence flowed into Sulu's body along with the pool water.

Hoo hoo!

A majestic dragon roar faintly echoed from the void, along with the phantom image of Great Dragon soaring through the air.

The remaining spiritual imprints of the four Great Dragon rushed into Sulu's body, roaring and struggling, attempting to take over this body and be reborn.

Beneath his skin, one dark dragon scale after another emerged, their surfaces shimmering with a halo of six colors.

Sulu's teeth became sharp, his fangs protruded, and there seemed to be a bony protrusion on the top of his head, as if it wanted to grow into a small horn.

Legend has it that Wizard in this world also coveted the power of Great Dragon, but were unable to directly transplant that Berserk bloodline. Therefore, they chose to reproduce with Great Dragon, and they became one of the sub-human races— Half-Dragon!

Because their talents were too powerful, threatening the status of humanity, or for some other reason, these Half-Dragon have long since disappeared from the continent.

Perhaps only in some remote and dangerous places can a few individuals survive and continue to exist.

Sulu's transformation at this moment had a strong ' Half-Dragon ' feel to it, but in terms of the purity of his bloodline, it exceeded the limits of what Half-Dragon could imagine!

"You want to take over my body?"

Within the sea of consciousness.

Sulu stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the four bluffing Great Dragon: "This is simply a dream!"

A Thaumaturgy Card appeared in his hand and merged with his spirit.

In an instant.

Sulu transformed into an enormous Black Fog, expanding continuously like a ferocious monster, devouring the entire sky!

The four Great Dragon were completely engulfed, with only faint roars and sounds of decay emanating from them.

After a long while, the area returned to peace.

The Material World.

Sulu opened his eyes.

His scales retracted automatically, and the horns that were about to grow out disappeared.

"I don't want to become a monster... but that doesn't seem right either, the advancement of a [Dimensional Walker] already involves the modification of the Void Bloodline."

He muttered something to himself, glanced at the Attribute Panel, and breathed a sigh of relief when he found no indication of any change in bloodline.

Immediately afterwards, he noticed the changes in his body.

The skin became smoother and more radiant, like that of a newborn baby, without any scars or other marks.

Moreover, he seemed to be able to see his own crystalline bones and hear the sound of his blood surging like a mighty river within him.

The entire blood pool had become crystal clear at some point, and the eeriness of before was gone.

It was as if... all the strangeness had been completely absorbed by Sulu.

[Perform the 'Dragon Blood Ritual' (Improved), Dragon Blood Baptism LV2→LV4!]

[Dragon Blood Baptism level upgraded to LV4; Physique and Strength have reached the current class limit! Gained the ' Half-Dragon Transformation ' ability!]

The so-called Half-Dragon Transformation is the active growth of scales, which is equivalent to wearing a full-body suit of heavy steel armor without affecting movement, and also grants immunity to most low- to mid-level spells.

Overall...

Sulu clenched his fist. "With all four basic attributes at 10, if I were to Half-Dragon Transformation, I would dare to fight in close combat even against a fourth-tier physical attacker, and I wouldn't be at a disadvantage in a head-on clash."

"Of course, most importantly... my experience points have reached 12,100... I've finally met all the requirements for advancing to the fifth tier [Planeswalker]."

Fifth-tier Legend!

Even in today's Main World, he would be a very famous figure!

The [Planeswalker] title is of even greater significance.

They are the darlings of the void, travelers of the world, possessing the ability to travel to different worlds.

Once I advance, there's a good chance I can return to the Main World, and... maybe even find a way back to Earth!

A fierce flame seemed to burn in Sulu's eyes.

Having already undergone the Dragon Blood Baptism today, it is clearly not suitable for immediate promotion.

He forcibly suppressed the desire in his heart and returned to the ground.

"Tutor..."

A man in fine clothes, Ham, greeted him, "Have you finished your experiment?"

"Yes."

Sulu casually asked, "How's the situation on the territory?"

The mention of this troubled Ham: "Master... I think I might not have the talent to be a nobleman."

In reality, given his family education, he was at most capable of managing a Lordship Territory; he would be ill-equipped to manage a viscountate.

"There are many refugees, but very little food in the territory... and the situation in Violet Territory is actually considered good compared to other areas of the Golden Plain..."

Ham scratched his head with a wry smile, "I don't know who to ask for help... Besides, there are the frequent banquet invitations in Dragon City, and the gazes of those noble ladies are unbearable..."

"Roll!"

Sulu rolled his eyes, too lazy to bother with this guy's happy troubles.

He asked a few more questions and found that Ham was making good progress in his Arrogant Wizard and was not troubled by any strong delirium.

'It seems... the development and influence of the Arrogant School cannot have expanded in just a few years; it will take more than a decade, or even longer?'

'It's also possible... it's due to Twilight of the Gods? The fallen Sivinardo is even less likely to have any impact on this world...'

After Ham left, Sulu went up to the Star-Gazing Tower inside the castle alone.

"Twilight of the Gods..."

If the world stops supporting it, the difficulty of achieving legendary status will inevitably increase significantly!

Even with the Attribute Panel, Sulu wasn't entirely confident.

"With my current level of accumulation, if I were in the Main World, I would definitely be able to reach the fifth rank... but here... without Attribute Panel, I might be destined to remain at the fourth rank forever..."

"From an ordinary person to an extraordinary being, and then from the fourth to the fifth rank, it is a qualitative change and a sublimation, as well as a huge hurdle."

He gazed at the starry sky, and scenes from Earth and the Main World flashed through his mind, leaving him mesmerized.
