A drop of blood (completed)
"Old Man Lin, Old Man Lin, look! Haven't I grown bigger again?"
Inside the central Pavilion of the Trial Grounds, Zi Yan, after waking up, excitedly ran to find Xiao Lin.
Normally, entering the central area of Trial Grounds does require passing through three Formations.
But Xiao Lin was the creator of the Trial Grounds, so of course he could use unconventional methods to bring people in!
Therefore, upon sensing Zi Yan's arrival, Xiao Lin had already opened a normal passage to guide her in.
Sure enough, as soon as she came in, Zi Yan showed off to Xiao Lin.
Looking at Zi Yan, who was beaming with admiration, Xiao Lin shook his head helplessly.
Yes, Zi Yan does look a little older after waking up this time, but really only a little.
"Yes, yes, you've grown up again!"
Xiao Lin chuckled and echoed Zi Yan's words.
In fact, Xiao Lin had half a sentence left unsaid.
Although Zi Yan looks like she's grown up by about a year or two, her personality is still like that of a child who hasn't grown up.
However, Xiao Lin didn't dare say those words aloud.
Otherwise, this little girl might throw a tantrum again!
Perhaps because she lacked parental love growing up, she always wanted to show off to her loved ones whenever she underwent any changes.
Zi Yan's closest people now are First Elder Su Qian and Xiao Lin.
Of course, the two of them genuinely doted on Zi Yan as their granddaughter.
Upon hearing Xiao Lin's words, Zi Yan happily narrowed her eyes.
"Yes, Old Man Lin, you really have good taste, unlike that idiot Old Man Su!"
Zi Yan nodded in agreement while simultaneously making sarcastic remarks.
The reason Zi Yan said that was because Su Qian voiced the unspoken words Xiao Lin had been keeping to himself...
It's clear that both of them have the same opinion about Zi Yan.
However, Xiao Lin told only half the truth, while Su Qian told the whole truth.
Ultimately, this is the outcome we see today.
All I can say is that Su Qian is still too stubborn!
"By the way, Old Man Lin, I finally know what my Main Body is!"
After complaining about Su Qian, Zi Yan suddenly remembered something and said to Xiao Lin with a mix of excitement and mystery.
Zi Yan's words sounded strange.
But considering her circumstances, it's actually quite reasonable.
Because of her congenital developmental deficiencies, lack of inheritance, and the fact that she accidentally ate the Transformation Grass shortly after hatching as a child, Zi Yan doesn't even know what kind of magical beast she is!
But this time, after she made up for her congenital developmental deficiencies, the image of her Main Body self appeared in her mind during her sleep.
After seeing the image of his Main Body in his mind, a term immediately came to mind.
Ancient Void Dragon!
She is the sole pinnacle of the Beast Realm Dou Qi Continent!
That's right, it's the only one.
With the Dragon-Phoenix no longer appearing, and the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix, Ancient Heavenly Serpent, and Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python all disappearing from the Dou Qi Continent, wouldn't the Ancient Void Dragon become the sole Sovereign in the Beast Realm?
After learning that her Main Body was the Ancient Void Dragon, Zi Yan was both excited and happy.
After all, she's at the pinnacle of the Beast Realm!
In this way, when she becomes stronger in the future, she can protect Old Man Su and Old Man Lin, and even the entire Jia Nan Academy!
That's what Zi Yan was thinking.
In Zi Yan's eyes, Jia Nan Academy is her home, and the people there are her family.
To be fair, Zi Yan's thoughts were indeed quite simple and honest.
"Oh? What is it?"
Seeing how happy the little girl was, Xiao Lin pretended to show a curious expression.
Seeing this, Zi Yan felt a sense of satisfaction.
"Hehe, my Main Body is the overlord of the Beast Realm, the Ancient Void Dragon!"
At this moment, Zi Yan crossed her arms and revealed an expression of immense pride.
"Really? Zi Yan, your Main Body is the Ancient Void Dragon?"
Xiao Lin cooperated with Zi Yan's acting, his face now filled with shock.
Sure enough, thanks to Xiao Lin's superb acting skills, Zi Yan's nose almost popped out of her head.
"How could that be fake? So, Old Man Lin, don't worry, once I've grown up, I'll protect you!"
Zi Yan's tone and demeanor gave off an air of "I'm the boss!"
This left Xiao Lin somewhat amused and exasperated.
Yes, Zi Yan can indeed grow into the pinnacle of the Dou Qi Continent.
But that takes time!
The Hun Tiandi has now fully recovered from his injuries, and in a few decades, he will likely be able to carry out the Millennium Plan.
Where is there any time left for Zi Yan to grow to the peak of the Dou Qi Continent?
As the Monster Supreme, the Ancient Void Dragon has a long lifespan and a long growth period.
Even if Zi Yan grows up normally, it would take her hundreds, or even thousands of years, to reach the pinnacle of the Dou Qi Continent!
By the time Zi Yan grows up to that level, it'll be too late!
Moreover, the Ancient Void Dragon Clan is currently in a state of division.
It will be extremely difficult for Zi Yan to grow up normally.
Therefore, for Xiao Lin, it's more worthwhile to look forward to the old dragon behind Zi Yan...
Thinking of this, a glint of light flashed in Xiao Lin's eyes.
"Yes, Zi Yan is the best! I'm looking forward to that day. But before that, could Zi Yan do me a small favor?"
Xiao Lin suddenly asked in a tone that sounded like he was coaxing a child.
"Oh? Old Man Lin, you need my help now? Tell me quickly, what do you need me to help you with? Fighting someone? No, no, your cultivation level seems to be higher than mine..."
"Huh? Does that mean, Old Man Lin, you want me to steal something for you?"
Upon hearing that Xiao Lin wanted her help, Zi Yan first showed an excited expression, then asked with a puzzled look.
Meanwhile, looking at Zi Yan's wildly imaginative ideas, Xiao Lin's lips twitched.
Okay, okay, so in Zi Yan's eyes, he just wants to use her power to steal things, right?
To be honest, because she had once gone through the ordeal of robbing various forces in the Black-Corner Region with Xiao Lin, Zi Yan's impression of Xiao Lin was somewhat deeply ingrained...
"You're overthinking it. I'm not that bored. I just want to ask you for something!"
Suppressing the urge to give the little girl a good beating, Xiao Lin said mysteriously.
"Hmm? Old Man Lin, is there anything I have that you need? Alright, considering how good you've been to me before, anything I have, I can give you!"
Zi Yan was taken aback at first, then patted her budding chest and said.
"Zi Yan, I want a drop of your blood, the Essence Blood that can prove your identity!"
Xiao Lin suddenly said with a serious expression.
If he wants to make a deal with that old dragon Zhukun, he must rely on Zi Yan's power!
