"Lord, what's wrong with Linley?" Hogg immediately looked towards Chu Bei, his face filled with worry.
"Lord Father, your child is fine. Don't worry. Your child's body is filled with energy! "
Without waiting for Chu Bei to speak, Linley's voice rang out from within the sphere of light.
In the next instant, with a massive boom, the sphere of light exploded, followed by a resonant dragon's roar.
"This … this is a dragon!"
Staring at the five-clawed golden dragon flying in the air, all of the residents of Wushan township cried out in shock. Everyone, including Hogg and Hillman, was stunned!
"That dragon couldn't have been young master Linley's transformation, could it?"
"How miraculous!"
"The Dragon Clan is the royal clan of the magical beasts! But why haven't I seen young master Linley's transformation before? He actually has four pairs of dragon horns, and a crown! "
…..
Just as the residents were wondering, Hogg's body began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Dragonform. Someone from the Baruch clan has finally transformed into a dragon …"
Hogg's eyes began to moisten. Staring at the five-clawed golden dragon in the air, he murmured to himself, tears of joy rolling down his cheeks.
Because the Baruch clan had different levels of bloodline density, when transforming into a Dragonblood Warrior, there were generally three different forms.
The first form was that the appearance didn't change at all, but the strength of the body increased slightly. The second form was that parts of the body would grow dragon scales, greatly increasing the strength of the body. The third form was that one would completely transform into a dragon, increasing the strength of the body to a terrifying degree. One would be able to kill enemies at a higher level!
Before the chaos had begun, he had used the Dragonblood Needle to test Linley's bloodline density. Linley's bloodline didn't meet the requirements for transforming into a Dragonblood Warrior at all.
But unexpectedly, the appearance of this mysterious lord not only allowed Linley to transform into a Dragonblood Warrior, he also transformed into the most powerful Dragonblood Warrior form.
The only strange thing was that this dragon form was very different from the winged dragon which the ancestors of the Baruch clan had transformed into.
"Young master Linley, did you just become stronger? Quick, let us all take a look. "The residents all had curious looks on their faces.
"Alright!"
Linley, in the form of a five-clawed golden dragon, nodded, then flew to an enormous boulder that was nearly ten meters tall, smashing down with his claws.
Rumble!
With a boom, the boulder exploded, filling the air with rubble.
"So … so strong!"
Staring at the countless fragments of the mountain, the residents of Wushan township were all stunned. They were so shocked that they couldn't even speak.
"Uncles, this is the power I have now."
Linley swung his draconic tail, his words filled with excitement.
"Milord, what sort of miraculous pill did you give Linley? That claw of his just now is at least from a Third Grade Warrior! "
Hogg stared at Linley in a daze, his face petrified. After regaining his composure, he said, "Milord, do you have any more of these divine pills? It is actually capable of allowing the members of our Baruch clan to transform into the third level of Dragonblood Warrior! "
"What? So Lord Hogg's family is a Dragonblood Warrior! "
"Are they the legendary Four Supreme Warriors?"
Hearing Hogg's words, the faces of the residents of Wushan township changed dramatically. Clearly, they hadn't heard of the history of the Baruch clan.
Chu Bei glanced indifferently at Hogg and said in an incomparably calm voice, "What you see is not some Dragonblood Warrior, but the inheritance that I have given to my disciple, the inheritance of the Ancestral Dragon!"
"Ancestral Dragon's inheritance?"
Hearing this, Hogg, Hillman, and the others all stared at Chu Bei in confusion.
But Chu Bei didn't say anything else. Instead, he looked at Linley. "Disciple, focus on attuning to the power that I, as your Master, have bestowed upon you. Once you have fully developed this power, you will be the most powerful person in the world. "
With a draconic roar, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon transformed back into Linley's appearance. He once more knelt down in front of Chu Bei, his face filled with excitement. "Your disciple thanks you, Master, for your inheritance. In the future, I will definitely work hard on training in the power of the Ancestral Dragon!"
"Linley, congratulations on having such a powerful Master." The group of children all looked at Linley enviously.
"Master, just now, what did you snatch from them?" Linley seemed to have thought of something. Raising his head, he looked curiously at Chu Bei.
"A Shadowmouse of the ninth rank."
Chu Bei opened his palm, and there was a little mouse lying in his palm. It had already lost its consciousness.
As Chu Bei's palm began to glow with divine light, strands of light entered the Shadowmouse's body. Slowly, the Shadowmouse's aura began to grow stronger.
"My child … my child …"
The Shadowmouse of the ninth rank opened his eyes. A weak voice came out of his mouth, and a frantic look was on his face.
He even forgot to thank Chu Bei. With a 'swish' sound, he pierced through the air, flying towards Baruch's manor.
"Master, why is he going to our place?" Staring in the direction the Shadowmouse had flown, Linley's eyes widened.
"Let's go. His child is going to be your future little companion." Chu Bei had a hint of a smile on his face.
"Little companion?" Linley's frown deepened.
But just as Linley's words came out of his mouth, an invisible force lifted him, Hogg, Wharton, Hillman, and the others into the air. In the blink of an eye, they landed in front of an old room within Baruch's manor.
"That's …"
Linley, Hogg, and the others followed Chu Bei into the room. All of them were stunned, staring at the corner of the room.
Right now, the Shadowmouse from before was licking a newborn mouse that was still struggling to open its eyes.
"Master, is that her child?"
Linley looked at Chu Bei. For some reason, aside from sensing a strong sense of motherly love from this Shadowmouse of the ninth rank, Linley also felt a sense of determination, as though this mouse was bidding farewell to its child.
Instantly, a strange sense of grief filled his heart.
"Benefactor, thank you for saving my life."
The Shadowmouse of the ninth rank held the newborn mouse in its mouth as it walked over to Chu Bei. "Those two killed my husband. I must avenge him! Please take my poor child in. "
As his desolate words came out, the Shadowmouse of the ninth rank fell to his knees, kowtowing repeatedly to Chu Bei, his eyes filled with pleading.
"Based on your power, do you think you'll be able to kill two Saint-level experts?"
Chu Bei glanced calmly at the Shadowmouse of the ninth rank, then said, "How long has it been since your husband died?"
"Two hours."
The Shadowmouse of the ninth rank took a deep breath. His words were filled with killing intent, as though he wanted nothing more than to rip out Tyron and Rudi and drink their blood.
"Take me to the place where your husband died." Chu Bei's words were calm.
"Benefactor, you …"
The Shadowmouse of the ninth rank had a puzzled look on his face, and his eyes were filled with confusion.
"Lead the way. You'll know soon enough." Chu Bei clasped his hands behind his back, not saying anything else.
"Alright!"
Although the Shadowmouse of the ninth rank didn't understand what Chu Bei was planning, he knew that Chu Bei was his benefactor, and that he was going to entrust his child to him. After a moment's hesitation, he transformed into a ray of light and flew towards the direction of the Magical Beast Forest.
…..
Roughly thirty kilometers away from Wushan township, in the air above the Magical Beast Forest.
The Shadowmouse of the ninth rank, Hogg, Hillman, and Doehring Cowart all floated out from the ring. All of them had looks of confusion on their faces, but all of them were focused in front of them.
Chu Bei hovered in the air, scanning the area with his gaze, then slowly closed his eyes.
Rumble!
After a moment of silence, Chu Bei suddenly stretched out his hand and tapped outwards with a finger.
In the next instant, the illusory image of a thirty-thousand-meter long, five-clawed golden dragon appeared at the tip of his finger.
Its appearance was identical to the divine dragon that Linley had transformed into, but in terms of aura, it was trillions of times more powerful than Linley's.
Under the gazes of everyone present, the golden dragon in front of Chu Bei suddenly opened its enormous maw towards the heavens. Instantly, the skies changed color.
Rumble!
Amidst the rumbling, the originally clear sky in the distant sky was instantly enveloped by dark clouds.
Soon, the entire Magical Beast Forest was covered by those dark clouds, giving off a sinister, terrifying feeling, as though they were in the depths of hell.
The wild beasts of the forest all prostrated themselves on the ground, staring up at the heavens in terror, trembling.
This was an instinctive fear, as though their emperor was descending upon the world.
Boom!
The illusory divine dragon swung its tail, and the sound of thunder filled the heavens.
Lightning was used for killing, and life and death accompanied each other. It could extinguish souls, but it could also summon souls.
In the Plane of Shrouded Heaven, he had used the power of lightning to revive Fairy Rosy Cloud.
"What level is this person at?! He's actually able to affect the weather all by himself! "Doehring Gwart stared dazedly at Chu Bei's back, a look of shock on his face.
"Lord Father, quick, look! It's raining!" Linley pointed towards the skies.
"No, this isn't rain! When have you ever seen rain shine? This is simply lightning! "
Hogg took a deep breath. Staring at the raindrops of lightning all around him, he sucked in a cold breath.
"It really is lightning! His Lordship truly is incredible. What is he planning to do?! "Hillman's face was filled with amazement as well. He stared blankly at Chu Bei in mid-air.
"Lord Father, these lightning droplets don't seem to have much power. When they hit my body, they really are like raindrops." Linley stretched out his hand, allowing the lightning droplets to strike him.
"Not only are they harmless, they are extremely beneficial to my training! I tried to absorb these lightning droplets into my body, and all the cells in my body actually began to expand. My level of insight, which has been stagnant for so many years, is actually showing signs of breaking through! "Hillman's voice was filled with excitement.
Doehring Cowart and the Shadowmouse of the ninth rank were silent, but their gazes were fixed on the strange phenomenon in the skies. Frowning slightly, they seemed to be pondering something.
Thud thud thud!
Right at this moment, a series of hurried footsteps could be heard from afar. From afar, multiple figures could be seen riding on flying beasts.
"Who is that person?! What is he doing?! "
"He's standing in mid-air. He's a Saint-level combatant!"
"What's going on with these rain droplets? They're actually glowing! And, it seems as though there's some sort of miraculous power hidden within them! "
…..
One group after another gathered. Amongst them were armored soldiers of the Empire wielding greatswords, disciples of various sects who had come out for training, and merchants who had taken a shortcut.
Obviously, no matter which group of people it was, they were all attracted by the commotion caused by Chu Bei.
Amongst these people, the most powerful were warriors or magi of the eighth rank, while the weakest were at least of the second or third rank.
"Good heavens. Could it be that he's the one who caused this strange phenomenon?! Why is it that I've never seen or heard of a Saint-level combatant like him?! "
The people who had arrived all had looks of astonishment on their faces. Staring at the rolling thunder in the skies, and then at Chu Bei, who was standing there with his hands clasped behind his back, they all gulped. This sort of thing simply couldn't be man-made.
"Those people are from the Radiant Church and the Cult of Shadows! And the soldiers of the Kingdom of Fenlai! "
Hillman quickly recognized the three groups of people who had arrived. He couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.
"Soul Return!"
Suddenly, under the watchful gazes of thousands of people, Chu Bei's hands began to dance in a rhythmic pattern. And then, two heavy syllables rang out in the skies like thunder.
Hearing these words, Doehring Cowart, Hillman, Hogg, and everyone else trembled. Staring at the skies, they didn't even blink.
In particular, the Shadowmouse of the ninth rank seemed to have guessed something. He clenched his paws, and his expression suddenly changed. He was incomparably nervous.
