Nan Zhuliu cultivated after awakening his Golden Dragon King bloodline and used Dragon Transformation to explain his sudden increase in strength to his parents. After absorbing thousand-year whale glue, he persuaded them that he could handle a thousand-year soul ring as his first, leaving them to consider whether an old spirit fruit’s effects had triggered his transformation.
