Ya Ji's Change, Veteran Female Fire Dragon

I still remember that big idiot's expression back then, shifting from excitement to utter confusion. He unleashed his full-power surprise attack, and after all that effort, he actually landed a hit, but it didn't even manage to scorch the opponent's scales. The blow was too devastating.

Of course, over the past five years, I've acquired more than just these two traits. There's another one that satisfies Luo Yun immensely.

[Mind's Eye: Prolonged combat combined with a unique soul has greatly enhanced your senses, allowing you to easily find your opponent's weaknesses, see through their movements, and respond in advance.]

In Pokémon games, this trait ignores changes in the opponent's evasion, ensuring your own hit rate doesn't decrease. It also allows Fighting and Normal-type moves to hit Ghost-type Pokémon.

However, when translated to him, it has enhanced all aspects of his senses, even his ethereal sixth sense has been greatly boosted.

This was evident when Luo Yun went to test it against the Great Jagras. In his eyes, every muscle movement of the Great Jagras was captured. As soon as the Great Jagras made a move, Luo Yun could predict its attack pattern and instinctively dodge and counter.

The result was that the Great Jagras couldn't bite him no matter what, and instead, Luo Yun capitalized on its attack openings to unleash his own onslaught. Although the damage wasn't significant, just superficial wounds, it was incredibly frustrating for the Great Jagras!

Most importantly, one time Luo Yun didn't notice its flames. His sixth sense started sending frantic warnings, and with a nimble aerial roll, he dodged the attack without even seeing it.

Through various battles and hunts over the years, the effects of Mind's Eye have continuously improved.

Luo Yun believes that if he continues to develop this trait, one day, his mother won't have to worry about him getting hit by flashbangs anymore!

In over five years, he's gained three traits. Combined with his body size that has ballooned to nine meters, while he might not compare to adult behemoths, his actual combat power is not weaker than some low-ranking monsters. At the very least, if he encountered that Poisonous Bird from five years ago, Luo Yun alone could easily kill it.

There would be no escape!

Upon being attacked by Luo Yun, the other Herbivore Dragons that had reacted quickly let out cries and fled from him. However, before they could run more than a few steps, a deep green, dragon-shaped truck suddenly burst out from the nearby forest!

Its massive body slammed into a large Herbivore Dragon, sending it flying. Before the Herbivore Dragon could even get up, it was stomped on the neck. The crisp sound of bone snapping echoed across the grassland, and the Herbivore Dragon instantly went still.

Ya Ji lowered her head, easily bit through its neck, and began to enjoy her lunch heartily.

Luo Yun's growth had been astonishing over these five years, but Ya Ji's second growth spurt was even more exaggerated. Her size directly exploded to 15 meters during that period, and although it has slowed down, she's now nearly 16 meters.

Her features have become sharper, her spines have fully grown, her coloration has deepened, and her physique is slender yet full of power. Most importantly, her dragon scales, under the sunlight, shimmered like iridescent ink, with deep green reflecting hints of golden yellow!

Despite the fact that the ley lines in the vicinity of her nest were not very active with life energy, being much weaker compared to the depths of the Ancient Forest, how did Ya Ji grow into such a 'veteran' state in this environment?

Unbeknownst to them, in Ya Ji's eyes, Luo Yun was also quite different. In the sunlight, the edges of his deep red scales faintly reflected a silvery-white glow.

In terms of size, Ya Ji could be considered a sub-adult Female Fire Dragon, even larger than some malnourished adult Female Fire Dragons. However, in terms of age, Ya Ji was still in her youth.

She was truly an exceptionally special individual among Female Fire Dragons.

I recall a few months ago, they were conducting a joint hunt in the Great Antlion Desert as usual. However, just as the hunt was nearing completion, another Female Fire Dragon suddenly appeared. Taking advantage of the fact that the Carapacean Herbivore Dragon formation had been scattered by them, she opportunistically killed a Carapacean Herbivore Dragon.

Such behavior was undoubtedly a provocation. Luo Yun was enraged on the spot and intended to drive away this Female Fire Dragon.

However, Ya Ji trotted over to the other Female Fire Dragon and affectionately licked its head.

Later, after the other dragon had eaten its fill and bid farewell to Ya Ji, Luo Yun learned that this Female Fire Dragon was actually Ya Ji's sister from the same clutch of eggs.

Luo Yun was stunned at the time. Ya Ji's size was nearly 16 meters, a full head larger than her sister. Her sister's size was at most 12 meters, and her scales were deep green with a hint of grayish-white, which was the normal coloration for a Female Fire Dragon.

They came from the same clutch of eggs, with only a day or two difference in hatching dates, yet there was such a significant difference in size. If Ya Ji were to reach adulthood, wouldn't her size approach 20 meters?

Ya Ji sensed Luo Yun's gaze fixed on her and tilted her head up at him with a hint of confusion.

"Oh~ my maiden heart!!"

Struck by Ya Ji's inadvertently adorable expression, Luo Yun quickly lowered his head and started eating.

After five years, his preferences had been completely assimilated. He could perceive Ya Ji's beauty from all angles.

Seeing that Luo Yun had no particular reaction, Ya Ji also put aside her doubts.

In fact, in Ya Ji's eyes, Luo Yun was also an incredibly eye-catching little handsome dragon. Especially now that he was starting to grow into his features, she truly admired her own judgment from back then.

She had only picked up a dying Fledgling Fire Dragon out of empathy, and it turned out she had found a treasure.

Five years ago, when Ya Ji found Luo Yun, her size was only a little over 8 meters. This was already considered exceptional for her. Yet, five years later, Luo Yun had grown to 9 meters, even larger than she was back then. It's worth noting that Female Fire Dragons are generally larger than Male Fire Dragons under similar conditions, but this was not at all evident in Luo Yun.

Coupled with Luo Yun's astonishing combat ability, which far surpassed his size for his age, it even began to instill a sense of crisis in Ya Ji.

Today's meal was their last hunt in this hunting ground.

Due to the growth in both their sizes, their current nest had become very cramped and was no longer suitable for habitation.

After discussion, Luo Yun believed their strength was sufficient to venture into the depths of the Ancient Forest, or even live in the trees themselves. Therefore, after this meal, they would begin their migration.

A new nest meant a new territory, and it also meant facing battles to the death. If Luo Yun were alone, he would choose to lie low in the Great Antlion Desert, wait a few more years for his body to grow larger and acquire more traits before heading to the Ancient Forest.

But now, Ya Ji was a veteran Female Fire Dragon with a body length of 16 meters. Paired with him, a Male Fire Dragon whose combat power far exceeded his physical size, with their combined strength, why couldn't they establish a nest in the depths of the Ancient Forest?
