1194 Dragon Awakening

Seeing Yuan transform, something only dragons could do, left Xi Shengmo and Xi Mingze utterly speechless. They were so shocked that they couldn't feel any other emotions, and their bodies were numb, almost as though they had been struck by lightning tribulation.

[Dragon Awakening]

[Grade: ???]

[Description: Awaken the dragon in your body and gain unimaginable strength! Greatly increases all physical capabilities while transformed!]

By the time Yuan snapped out of his daze, over 90 percent of the blood in the pond had been absorbed by him.

When he saw that nearly all of the blood in the pond had disappeared, Yuan felt his heart skip a beat, and he quickly stood up.

"Oh my god! I don't know what happened, but I swear it wasn't on purpose! I am so sorry! I will fix this! I promise!" He went into panic mode, unaware of the changes to his body.

Neither Xi Shengmo or Xi Mingze reacted, which only made Yuan feel even more guilty. In his mind, they were probably so angry at him for absorbing their precious blood that they couldn't even express it properly.

While they were indeed devastated about the loss of blood, the feeling of shock easily overwhelmed such feelings. Furthermore, they could feel a sense of inferiority when looking at Yuan in his current state, almost as though the dragon blood in their veins revered his presence.

However, such a thing would only happen if they are before someone with a superior bloodline, and in the entire Nine Heavens, only the Dragon Ancestor and the Great One could possibly possess a bloodline that is strong enough to suppress their royal bloodline.

"Who… No… What are you?" Xi Shengmo muttered in a dazed voice.

"I understand your anger, but I will do my best to fix this… Since this blood came from the Dragon Ancestor, I will find him and request some of his blood — enough to refill the pond. No matter how long it will take, I swear I will make it happen!" Yuan responded, still unaware of the reason for their shock.

Xi Mingze didn't say anything and retrieved a round mirror from her spatial ring before putting it in front of Yuan.

"Huh?" Yuan looked into the mirror with a raised eyebrow.

"What?!"

His eyes widened with shock after seeing his new appearance.

His black hair and eyes had turned golden, and his chest appeared to have grown several dragon scales. This immediately reminded him of Xi Murong and Xi Mingze's transformation.

However, he was still missing dragon horns and a tail.

'This must be due to the Nine Dragon Symbols… Dragon Awakening, huh? I hope this isn't permanent…' He swallowed nervously.

"Yuan, if you don't mind, can I have some of your blood? I want to confirm something." Xi Mingze suddenly asked him.

"O-Of course! Take as much blood as you want!" Yuan immediately responded.

"Just a few drops will be enough. I want to see if you have any dragon blood flowing through your veins."

Yuan nodded and poked a hole on his finger before squeezing several drops out.

Xi Mingze quickly collected his blood with her spiritual energy, and without hesitation, placed it inside her mouth.

Her eyes immediately widened with surprise, but it was not because his blood contained dragon blood.

'What is this?! Why is his blood so delicious?!' Xi Mingze has never tasted anything as tasty as Yuan's blood, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that his blood tasted better than any delicacy she has tasted before.

The taste of Yuan's blood surprised her so much that she didn't confirm whether he had dragon blood or not, so she had to request for some more.

"Sorry, but I will need some more to be sure… A little more this time…" She said in a stiff voice, her face somewhat rosy.

"Take as much as you need." Yuan repeated with a smile on his face.

This time, Xi Mingze collected a mouthful of his blood, which caused Xi Shengmo to raise his eyebrows.

'Why does she need so much blood? And why does her face look like that?' He wondered inwardly, as she looked like she was before a luxurious feast.

After taking Yuan's blood for the second time, Xi Mingze tasted only a few drops of the mouthful of blood that she collected before storing the rest away in a container.

'She's storing it?' Xi Shengmo became even more puzzled by her actions.

'Oh, right… My blood is like a delicacy for Divine Beasts…' Yuan took a mental note of this.

"Ahem." After clearing her throat in a forceful manner, Xi Mingze looked at Xi Shengmo and spoke with a serious expression, "His blood doesn't have the slightest dragon blood. He's 100 percent human."

"What?! That's impossible!" Xi Shengmo refused to believe it.

"I don't know what else to say since I have no idea what is happening, either." Xi Mingze shrugged, and she turned to look at Yuan.

"Although he has dragon scales and the aura of a dragon, he doesn't have any horns or a tail. Maybe it is a transformation and isn't at the same time. Either way, we have never seen or heard of anything like this before."

"Yuan, do you have any idea what caused your transformation?" She then asked.

Yuan pondered for a moment before asking, "Do you know anything about the Nine Dragons Symbol?"

"No, never heard of it. What about you?" Xi Mingze looked at Xi Shengmo, who also shook his head.

"Hmm… Then what about the Dragon God?"

"I have also never heard of this Dragon God, but what an arrogant name. Not even the Dragon Ancestor and the Great One would call themselves a God, much less the God of Dragons." Xi Mingze said.

However, Xi Shengmo appeared to be pondering about something.

"Dragon God… I have heard about him before," he said a moment later.
