White Dragon Loach!
Zhang Yuan reacted instantly.
Without the slightest hesitation, he kicked fiercely backward with both feet and shot forward like an arrow loosed from the bow.
He pursued the white shadow that had triggered resonance from his fourth symbiote!

Yet it survived tenaciously, and gradually awakened the abilities carried in its bloodline!
Day after day passed, and it slowly grew larger.
Its body became long and robust, while the black-gray camouflage on its skin faded away, turning white as jade.
Not only that,
