He still remembered that big idiot's expression shifting from excitement to bewilderment. He had put everything into a surprise attack and finally landed a hit, only to find that he had not even scorched a single one of the other's scales. The blow had been devastating.
Of course, those were not the only two traits he had extracted over the past five years. There was another one Luo Yun was extremely satisfied with.
Mind's Eye: Prolonged combat and a unique soul had greatly enhanced all your senses, allowing you to easily find your opponent's openings, see through their movements, and respond in advance.
In Pokémon games, this trait ignored changes to an opponent's evasion, prevented one's own accuracy from dropping, and allowed Fighting- and Normal-type moves to hit Ghost-type Pokémon.
But after being converted onto him, it had enhanced all of his senses across the board. Even his elusive sixth sense had been greatly strengthened.
This was most evident when Luo Yun went to test it against Great Jagras. In his eyes, the movement of every muscle in Great Jagras's body was captured. The moment Great Jagras began to move, Luo Yun could judge its method of attack, and his body would instinctively dodge and counterattack.
The result was that no matter how Great Jagras bit, it could not touch him. Instead, Luo Yun seized every opening between its attacks to unleash a barrage of strikes. The damage was not great, merely superficial wounds, but it was infuriating!!
Most importantly, there had been one time when Luo Yun had failed to notice its flames. His sixth sense had begun frantically warning him, and with a nimble midair roll, he had dodged the attack without even seeing it.
Through all the battles and hunts of these past years, the effects brought by Mind's Eye had continued to improve.
Luo Yun believed that if he kept developing this trait, one day his mother would never have to worry about him getting hit by Flash Bombs again!!
Over five years, he had gained three traits. Combined with his rapidly expanded nine-meter body, he might not compare to those fully grown giant beasts, but his actual combat power was no weaker than that of some lower-ranking monsters. At the very least, if he ran into the Poisonous Bird from five years ago, Luo Yun alone could easily kill it.
The kind that could not escape!
After being attacked by Luo Yun, the other Herbivore Dragons that had reacted roared and fled from him. Yet before they had even taken two steps, a dark-green dragon-shaped truck suddenly charged out of the nearby woods!
Her enormous body sent a large Herbivore Dragon flying. Before it could get back up, she planted a foot directly on its neck. The crisp crack of breaking bone rang across the grassland, and the Herbivore Dragon instantly stopped moving.
Ya Ji lowered her head and effortlessly bit through its neck before heartily enjoying her lunch.
Luo Yun's growth over the past five years had been astonishing, but Ya Ji's second growth period had been even more outrageous. During that time, her body had shot up to fifteen meters. Her growth had slowed now, but she was already nearing sixteen meters.
Her features had become more defined, her spikes had fully grown in, and her coloration had become deeper. Her slender frame was filled with strength. Most importantly, under the sunlight, her scales looked like gradient ink, with dark green reflecting traces of golden yellow!
The Life Energy in the earth veins where their nest was located clearly was not very active, far inferior to the depths of the Ancient Forest. So why had Ya Ji grown directly into the bearing of a "Veteran" in such an environment?
What Luo Yun did not know was that, in Ya Ji's eyes, he was just as unusual. Under the sunlight, the edges of his deep-red scales faintly reflected a silvery-white gleam.
By size alone, Ya Ji could be called a subadult Female Fire Dragon. She was even larger than some malnourished adult Female Fire Dragons. Yet in terms of age, Ya Ji was still in her youth.
She was simply an exceptionally special individual among Female Fire Dragons.
A few months ago, they had been hunting together in the Great Antlion Desert as usual. Just as the hunt was nearing its end, another Female Fire Dragon had suddenly appeared. Taking advantage of the Carapacean Herbivore Dragons' formation being scattered by them, she had picked up an easy kill and slain one of the Carapacean Herbivore Dragons.
That behavior was no different from a provocation. Luo Yun had immediately become furious and intended to drive that Female Fire Dragon away.
Yet Ya Ji had trotted all the way over to the Female Fire Dragon and affectionately licked her head.
Only after the other Female Fire Dragon had eaten her fill, greeted Ya Ji, and left did Luo Yun learn that she was Ya Ji's younger sister, from the same clutch of eggs.
Luo Yun had been stunned. Ya Ji was nearly sixteen meters long, a full size larger than her younger sister. Her sister was only about twelve meters at most, and her scales were dark green with traces of grayish white. That was the normal coloration of a Female Fire Dragon.
They had come from the same clutch, with their birth dates only one or two days apart, yet there was such a huge difference in size. Once Ya Ji reached adulthood, would she not be heading straight toward twenty meters?
Feeling Luo Yun's gaze fixed on her, Ya Ji raised her head in confusion and tilted it at him.
Oh~ This old man's maiden heart!!
Struck in the heart by Ya Ji's unintentionally adorable look, Luo Yun hurriedly lowered his head and began eating.
After five years, his tastes had actually been completely assimilated. He could perceive Ya Ji's beauty from every angle.
Seeing that Luo Yun gave no response, Ya Ji let go of her doubts as well.
In Ya Ji's eyes, Luo Yun was likewise an incredibly eye-catching handsome young dragon. Especially now that he had begun to grow into his features, she was particularly impressed by her own judgment back then.
She had clearly only picked up a dying Fire Dragon hatchling out of sympathy, yet she had unexpectedly found treasure.
When Ya Ji had found Luo Yun five years ago, she had only been a little over eight meters long, and that was already because she had been exceptionally gifted. Yet five years later, Luo Yun had grown to nine meters, larger than she had been back then. Normally, under the same conditions, Female Fire Dragons were generally larger than Male Fire Dragons, but that was not apparent on Luo Yun at all.
Together with Luo Yun's outrageous combat ability, which completely did not match his age, it had even begun to give Ya Ji a sense of crisis.
Today's meal was their final hunt in this hunting ground.
As the two dragons had grown larger, their current nest had become extremely cramped and was no longer suitable for living in.
After discussing it, Luo Yun believed their strength was more than enough to enter the depths of the Ancient Forest, or even live upon the Ancient Tree itself. Therefore, after this meal, they would begin migrating.
A new nest meant a new territory, and it also meant battles to the death. If Luo Yun had been alone, he would have chosen to lie low in the Great Antlion Desert for a few more years, waiting until his body grew larger and he gained more traits before heading for the Ancient Tree.
But now, Ya Ji was a Veteran Female Fire Dragon with a full sixteen-meter body length. Together with him, a Male Fire Dragon whose combat power far exceeded what his size suggested, why could the two of them not build a nest in the depths of the Ancient Forest?
