Because of the powerful evolution of the wings, Red Iron Dragon felt excited.
He flew freely under the sky, his wings cut through the biting cold wind, and tried various difficult flying maneuvers.
Sometimes he climbed rapidly, sometimes he dived and turned, and his brand new dragon wings shone with red light. As he flew by at high speed, sometimes they looked like clouds hanging from the sky, and sometimes they seemed like long cloaks swaying behind him.
After ten minutes of flying to the fullest.
Red Iron Dragon gradually restrained his movements and hovered steadily in mid-air, gradually gaining a clear understanding of his own wings.
The changes in his dragon wings were earth-shaking. Although he was now quite fluent in using them, they were far from being able to be used as he wished and had not been developed to the limit. However, he was convinced that with his own training methods, it would not take long before he could completely master and control these two wings.
Then, Garos turned his attention to the dragon scales covering his whole body.
What catches the eye are dense scales with a deep black base and a cold light as hard as obsidian.
On the scales, Battleworn Marks that resemble forked thunder and are as vigorous as the annual rings of ancient trees are criss-crossed, dotted with a large number of red lines that look like flowing lava, far more than before.
At just a glance, a fierce aura mixed with solemnity and majesty rushed towards his face.
"My original Cold Explosive Scale structure disappeared, and the scales changed from a double-layer composite to a seamless single layer."
"To be more precise, this new single-layer dragon scale has integrated and surpassed all the functions of the old Cold Explosive Scale, so that slightly redundant structure has been eliminated."
He knew it in his heart.
Thanks to his own adaptability, his body structure has never been fixed.
Those body structures that gradually become outdated and no longer optimal as his strength increases will naturally be eliminated, or in other words, reconstructed and transformed, and eventually shaped into a form that is more suitable for his current form.
Compared with the reshaped dragon wings, the evolution of scale armor does not seem to be so subversive.
The most important change is that the number of layers is simplified, and the protective color used for camouflage is lost, completely revealing the more fierce and powerful true posture of Garos.
As for the defensive and functional effects, they have been enhanced in all aspects.
Not to mention the already ridiculously high various elemental resistances and physical defenses.
Just when it was flying past at high speed and violently rubbing against the air.
Garos has discovered that the red lines on the scales all over his body are all lit up, greedily absorbing and storing the heat energy generated by friction, and continuously transporting it to the energy core in the body, Dragon Jade.
Moreover, this brand new single-layer scale armor is not as fragile and fragile as Cold Explosive Scale.
This means that he can continuously absorb and store heat energy. He no longer has to be careful when using Destruction Breath or activating the red lotus state.
"From now on, you no longer need to worry about lack of heat energy."
"My Destruction Dragon Breath, as well as the huge consumption of Red Lotus Form, can be used more freely."
This physical optimization made Garos feel slightly happy.
After comprehending the ultimate move of Red Lotus Form, he did not dare to use Destruction Dragon Breath, which was so powerful, to avoid consuming heat energy and failing to activate the power of Red Lotus at the critical moment.
Today, this restriction no longer exists.
However, in the second life, Red Lotus Form is still difficult to open.
The root cause is that Dragon Jade enters a cooling or silent state for a period of time after use, and cannot store energy during this period.
Moreover, the so-called thermal energy is essentially a kind of energy that has been deeply transformed by Dragon Jade, but its external performance is similar to thermal energy.
In addition, the evolution of scale armor has also brought a little "inconvenience".
It completely revealed the Battleworn Mark on Garos that symbolized countless battles and glory, exposed his true nature, made him look too mighty and powerful, and lost the possibility of using the camouflage layer to confuse and show weakness in order to paralyze the enemy.
In the past, when other dragons saw him, they might only think that he had a special shape and was not easy to mess with, but they were not in awe.
But if I see it now, I will definitely hide as far away as possible and give it a wide berth.
He was covered in Battleworn Mark, so dense it was even comparable to some Ancient Dragon.
This gesture destined him to be in the spotlight, making it difficult to hide.
"As for the evolution of scale armor and dragon wings, these are the general effects."
"There may be some other hidden effects that need to be experienced and developed in more detail in the future."
With his thoughts at this point, Garos turned the focus of his perception to Dragon Blood, who was running endlessly in his body.
This is the most important part of his evolution.
In addition to clearly feeling that it has become unprecedentedly hot and vigorous, like a surging river of magma, what specific and powerful new effects the Dragon Blood brings, the Garos is still unclear.
The extent to which it is adapted to Frenzied Flame also needs further testing.
"We will conduct a detailed examination later. The most urgent task is to replenish the huge consumption during sleep."
After his mind gradually calmed down, a strong sense of hunger suddenly surged like a tide, making Garos feel as if he could swallow an entire mountain.
This body is far from returning to its peak condition and is in urgent need of a large amount of food.
Garos no longer hesitated, and suddenly converged its giant wings, tearing through the heavy wind and snow, and dived down quickly towards Dragon Valley.
Phew--!
At the moment when he was about to hit the ground, his wings suddenly spread out, causing his fall to stop abruptly. The huge dragon body landed steadily in the valley, without even stirring up much dust.
The dependents who had already received the Red-Silver Dragon command immediately started working.
They continuously brought mountains of various kinds of meat, Garos's preferred Black Oil, gems with alluring luster, precious metals containing Magic Power and other resources to their Molten Iron King.
Garos immediately began to enjoy the meal with great enthusiasm.
Time passed slowly, and he swallowed a huge amount of food into his stomach. Until the food he ate was almost equal to his own weight, Garos still did not feel the slightest abdominal distension, and even had minimal desire to excrete waste.
It was obvious that his stomach and its related digestive system had also gained some degree of adaptive strengthening.
After several more hours, Garos's eating speed gradually slowed down.
The parts of his body that were originally slightly dry and not full due to his deep sleep have now become plump and strong again, the luster of his scales has become deeper and more restrained, and the overall breath of life exuded is vigorous and full, reaching a new peak.
At this time, several giant dragons that had been watching quietly not far away slowly gathered around.
"Garos, you look more majestic than before."
White Dragon Tressie spoke first, with admiration in his tone.
"Your scales have become a single layer? However, it does look more pleasing to the eye and stronger."
Red-Silver Dragon said, carefully looking at his obsidian-like dragon scale armor with dark red patterns.
"Look at your dragon wings! There are many complicated patterns on them, they are red, and it looks like the structure has changed a lot! Let me touch them!"
Fairy Dragon Vera moved closer curiously, trying to touch the wings of Garos with its claws.
"..."
White Dragon Tressie, Red-Silver Dragon Deborah, Fairy Dragon Vera, the three dragons surrounded Red Iron Dragon Garos, while commenting, they carefully traced every obvious change on his body with their eyes.
They already know that Garos is different.
Therefore, for the new form he showed after waking up this time, I was not as shocked as when I first saw it, but more of a natural appreciation.
Soon after, they all agreed that Garos is now more domineering than before.
The dragon body full of explosive power seems to be the perfect combination of strength and beauty.
Whether it is hanging high in the sky or standing on the ground, wherever Garos is, he will become the undisputed focus almost instantly, attracting the attention of everyone around him.
At the same time, Garos was also observing these companions.
White Dragon Tressie's physique has become significantly stronger, and his body size has grown significantly.
Although she is still not comparable to the red dragon of the same age, she has definitely surpassed the ordinary Blue Dragon. Moreover, the cold air lingering around her is more condensed and pure, and her magical attainments have also improved.
Fairy Dragon Vera is as always, with a petite body that makes it difficult to see obvious changes.
Perhaps indeed, but the limitations of her mini body make any subtle enhancement seem inconspicuous.
The biggest change is undoubtedly Red-Silver Dragon Deborah.
After entering full adulthood, her body became more slender and well-proportioned, with undulating and smooth back lines. The overall curve revealed a harmonious beauty of elegance and strength. Silver and honey-colored scales were arranged in an orderly manner on her body, creating a dazzling and beautiful luster.
The elegance and beauty of Silver Dragon and the liveliness and dexterity of Copper Dragon achieve a perfect fusion in her body.
In terms of beauty alone, Red-Silver Dragon is second to none among the female dragons Garos knows.
Somewhat depressed due to years of sleeping, Garos stared at her with scorching eyes, so hot that they seemed to ignite the air, making Red-Silver Dragon feel that the fine scales on her cheeks began to feel slightly hot.
She turned her head slightly to avoid Red Iron Dragon's direct gaze.
Garos saw this, smiled, then looked away, and asked, "During my sleep, what major dangers or troubles did the tribe encounter? Is there anything that I need to solve immediately?"
Several dragons looked at each other and shook their heads.
"During the years when you were sleeping, there were indeed some disturbances, but they were all resolved in the end."
"Gold Dragon Nasha, Alberto after waking up, and several lords, they are enough to resolve most crises."
"Overall, the tribe's development in recent years has been quite stable."
They gave a general report on the situation.
Garos thought to himself that if he happened to wake up from his deep sleep at the most critical moment for the tribe, and then descend from the sky with an invincible appearance, annihilating the powerful enemy in front of everyone's attention, it would undoubtedly bring a great sense of inner satisfaction.
However, the probability of such a dramatic coincidence is too low.
He had been sleeping for a long time. If the crisis happened not too early but happened to break out at the moment he woke up, and it was a desperate situation that only he could solve, it would be too coincidental and would even make him wonder if there was some kind of conspiracy against him hidden behind it.
"How long have I been asleep this time?"
Garos asked another question.
Red-Silver Dragon Deborah thought for a while and answered accurately, "According to the calculation of New Calendar popular in mainland China, it is now New Calendar 318. Your sleep lasted for a total of twenty-nine years."
This is about nine years longer than the normal sleep cycle of Young Dragon.
Garos is not surprised by this, every time he sleeps it seems to be longer than that of his peers.
Because during this period, he was not only improving Life Level, but also working on Adaptive Evolution, so it was normal to spend more time.
"Based on this, I am now ninety-eight years old, and there are still two years left before I can officially become Adult Dragon."
Garos thought to himself.
Stuck at this delicate age point, is this the ultimate perfection of Young Adult Stage? Or is it the so-called half-step Adult Dragon?
He joked to himself humorously.
After briefly exchanging a few words about the current situation, Garos said, "Later, you will tell me in detail about the important events that happened during my sleep that are worthy of attention."
"Now I need to concentrate first and thoroughly understand all the changes happening inside my body."
Upon hearing this, several dragons nodded to express their understanding, and then slowly dispersed, leaving a spacious and quiet space for Garos to explore on his own.
Before leaving, Red-Silver Dragon looked at him deeply for a few more times, and there seemed to be waves flickering in his eyes, like a deep pool of autumn water.
Her slender and graceful dragon tail swayed slightly unconsciously, as if she was thinking about something in her heart, but in the end, she didn't say anything, but her cheeks felt hot again, and then she quickly walked away.
Garos came to his own place and began to study his own transformation with great concentration.
First of all, he noticed that the Frenzied Flame in his body had become much quieter, no longer as active as it was before falling asleep, and would not constantly fuel his anger.
However, Garos had a clear intuition.
As long as you are fully focused, you can still take the initiative to make it active again.
He didn't try it right away.
Before that, he wanted to find out the changes in his own blood.
Phew--!
He took a deep breath, and the muscles all over his body tensed and swelled instantly, and he directly entered Exhilarated State, causing the flow rate of Dragon Blood in his body to suddenly accelerate.
As the blood circulation accelerated, Garos clearly felt that his blood became hotter and hotter, as if it would burn directly in the next second. The feeling was similar to the precursor to turning on Red Lotus Form, but it was fundamentally different.
The blood is only infinitely close to the critical point of burning, but it is always missing the critical point and cannot really ignite.
He further promoted from Exhilarated State to Bloodburst State, and the situation remains the same.
His blood was in a subtle state of being unburned and ready to go. This feeling of indecision, neither up nor down, brought about a sense of physical stagnation and irritability.
Frenzied Flame, who was originally silent, quietly regained his activity, causing a few wisps of blood to appear in Garos's eyes.
However, what was completely different from the past was that although the irritability still existed, he seemed to have a transcendent "third perspective" at the same time. His mentality remained calm and clear, and he did not lose his mind because of this physical discomfort and Frenzied Flame influence.
In this state, Frenzied Flame, which had just become active, quickly fell silent again.
Garos pondered for a moment, then raised one of his dragon claws covered with hard scales.
Accompanied by a heartbreaking sound, like metal being forcibly torn apart, he used the sharp claw tips to slice open the scales on his arms inch by inch until the flesh underneath was cut open.
Hot Dragon Blood immediately poured out of the wound.
However, the moment the blood left the body and was exposed to the air, a strange change occurred.
These Dragon Blood did not drip down like ordinary liquids, or flow along the lines of the dragon armor. Instead, they burst into flames in an instant! They turned into clusters of blazing flames that were constantly beating, dark red and almost black in color, lingering and attached to his cut arm armor, rising fiercely.
Essentially, this is a thick Dragon Qi.
"My blood... after leaving the body, it was directly transformed into Dragon Qi? And it is such a condensed form of flames?"
Looking down at the black and red flames burning quietly on his arm armor, Garos couldn't help but be slightly startled.
The next moment, he quickly came to his senses, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and his mind became extremely active.
Later, after several repeated attempts and verifications, Garos confirmed this fact.
Once his blood leaves the body, not only will it not be wasted, but it will instantly undergo qualitative changes, burning and transforming into a high concentration of Dragon Qi, taking on the form of arrogance.
What excites him even more is...
When he tried to reabsorb these separated Dragon Qi back into his body, they returned without any hindrance, and quickly solidified and transformed again, turning back into the endlessly flowing hot Dragon Blood, and integrated into the blood circulation in the body.
The whole process forms a cycle.
Blood is converted into Dragon Qi, and Dragon Qi can be reversed back into blood.
The cycle goes on and on.
The losses are minimal.
"Blood can be converted into Dragon Qi, and Dragon Qi can be converted into blood again."
"Is this like the transformation of blood and blue?"
"I seem to be a bit invincible."
"No, it's not like... as long as Legendary Realm is not around, I, Garos, am invincible! Even facing ordinary Legendary Realm, I may not be incapable of fighting!"
"Who else can defeat me now? Who else can really kill me?!"
Red Iron Dragon's eyes sparkled, and an unprecedented sense of confidence and pride filled his heart, and his mentality inevitably swelled.
This only lasted a moment.
"Stabilize, you must stabilize your mentality, you must not drift!"
After taking a deep breath, his strong willpower allowed him to regain control of his mood swings.
However, to be fair, Garos really can't imagine anyone else in the realm of the Legendary Realm who can truly threaten and defeat him at this moment.
Even he himself can't do it.
If he faced someone who was exactly the same as himself, he was not sure that he would be able to defeat him.
His powerful attributes such as speed, strength, and attack are all on a lower level than his current survival skills.
