Dragon Clan?

Ao Ruize raised an eyebrow!

Just at this moment, they arrived at the Dragon Clan’s Ancestral Hall.

What came into view was a towering, majestic main hall that stretched for several miles, piercing into the clouds.

However, the little milk dumpling couldn’t care less about appreciating the scenery; it was regretting everything: “It’s over, it’s over…”

It shouldn’t have impatiently accepted this mission just for that bit of spiritual energy from the cultivation world.

—Because it wanted to cultivate a human form as soon as possible. After all, the lesson Ao Ruize had taught it was truly too ‘tragic’.

But now, let alone taking the opportunity to absorb a bit more spiritual energy, whether Ao Ruize could live to see tomorrow morning’s sun was a problem.

Although, to some extent, this might help it terminate its contract with Ao Ruize, that didn’t mean it was willing to add a failure to its record. Besides, it hadn’t even squeezed Ao Ruize’s points dry yet.

But now, no matter how much it said, it was useless!

Wearing a look of despair just like it was Elder Chongzhen.

And Long Tianlu was naturally even more excited.

Not only because Yan Chong had said that Luo Jin (Long Ruize’s fiancée) was unwilling to marry Long Ruize at all—that it was Long Ruize relying on the Dragon Clan’s power to force the Luo family to betroth her to him—so he could be considered to be acting on behalf of justice.

But even more so because of the supreme-grade magic artifact Yan Chong had given him.

Most importantly, although Long Ruize’s aptitude wasn’t the best, his cultivation speed was simply too fast.

Although the Nineteenth Elder favored the direct lineage more because Long Ruize’s father and brother both had excellent aptitude, who could guarantee that he wouldn’t develop a desire to cultivate Long Ruize?

After all, Long Ruize had surpassed eighty percent of the direct lineage disciples in the clan grounds while only enjoying the treatment of an ordinary clan member, breaking through to the Golden Core stage before the age of twenty-five.

Once the Nineteenth Elder really harbored such thoughts, it would damage the interests of their direct lineage, especially his eldest brother’s interests.

However, soon they wouldn’t have to worry about these things anymore.

Just at this time, the leading Sixth Elder was the first to step into the left side hall of the Ancestral Hall.

Inside the enormous hall stood a golden pillar fully fifty meters high.

Coiled upon the golden pillar was a green dragon. As its belly rose and fell with its breathing, a faint pressure directly left everyone present breathless.

But it wasn’t a real Green Dragon.

Because the Four Great Divine Beasts had gone missing ten thousand years ago, and they had never appeared since.

The green dragon before them was an artifact spirit born from within the favorite magic artifact of the true Divine Beast Green Dragon.

But as for exactly what magic artifact it was, the juniors of the Dragon Clan weren’t clear. Some guessed it was the Divine Beast Green Dragon’s life-bound spirit sword, while others guessed it was a sacrificial vessel of the Dragon Clan…

However, it had stayed with the Dragon Clan for over ten thousand years and had guarded the Dragon Clan for nearly ten thousand years.

That was why the Dragon Clan respectfully addressed it as Lord Dragon Soul.

Because it didn’t like interacting with people, it spent the vast majority of its time sleeping in the Dragon Clan’s Ancestral Hall.

The Sixth Elder bowed respectfully towards the sleeping green dragon: “We disturb Lord Dragon Soul. We have come today to ask Lord Dragon Soul to help verify whether these two individuals from the branch lineage are descendants of the Divine Dragon.”

The green dragon on the golden pillar remained motionless and did not give him any response.

But the Sixth Elder was already used to this.

“Then we shall impose upon Lord Dragon Soul.”

After saying that, the Sixth Elder straightened up.

Then he turned his head to look at Ao Ruize and lowered his voice: “Alright, go ahead.”

Thus, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ao Ruize lifted his foot and walked towards the golden pillar.

On the ground, fifty meters away from the golden dragon, a dividing line was built.

According to the Dragon Clan’s lore, only those possessing the Divine Dragon bloodline could cross that dividing line. After crossing the line, every step forward meant an increase of one point in bloodline concentration.

So, thousands of years ago, this was the place the Dragon Clan used to test the bloodline concentration of their clansmen.

It was only because the Dragon Clan later refined magic tools to test bloodline concentration that they rarely used this method, which would disturb Lord Dragon Soul’s rest, to test clansmen anymore.

Sure enough, just as Ao Ruize lifted his foot preparing to cross the dividing line, a barrier appeared out of thin air, forcibly stopping Ao Ruize’s foot in mid-air.

Seeing this scene, Elder Chongzhen and the milk dumpling couldn’t help but close their eyes.

A gleam instantly flashed through Long Tianlu’s eyes: “I knew they weren’t my grandfather’s descendants.”

“They really are spies sent by the Demon Clan!”

The Sixth Elder made a prompt decision: “Seize them—”

The guards present immediately split into two groups; one group subdued Elder Chongzhen to the ground, while the other pounced straight at Ao Ruize.

But unexpectedly, in the next second, Ao Ruize’s foot suddenly moved.

He actually crossed that dividing line and stepped onto the ground within the boundary.

Seeing this, those guards subconsciously stopped their actions.

The smugness in Long Tianlu’s eyes froze instantly, and he almost blurted out: “That’s impossible—”

But in the next second, Ao Ruize placed his other foot inside the dividing line as well.

Those guards completely stopped moving, while the brows of the Sixth Elder and the Nineteenth Elder instantly furrowed.

They only thought Ao Ruize was toying with them just now; otherwise, since he could clearly step directly across the dividing line, why did he pause for a moment earlier?

Long Tianlu, realizing what happened, saw his pupils shrink.

Didn’t Yan Chong say the Absolute Pulse Pill could destroy the Green Dragon bloodline in Long Ruize’s body unknowingly?

So why could Ao Ruize still step inside the dividing line?

Almost at the same time, as if sensing something, the green dragon on the golden pillar, which had originally remained asleep, suddenly opened its eyes.

And after realizing the surroundings had suddenly gone quiet, Elder Chongzhen and the milk dumpling couldn’t help but open their eyes again.

In the next second, Elder Chongzhen’s eyes went wide too.

How is this possible?

Voicing the same inner thought was the milk dumpling.

The milk dumpling was in disbelief.

The milk dumpling doubted life.

The milk dumpling pondered for a few seconds.

The milk dumpling suddenly realized the truth.

“Descendants of the Dragon are awesome!”

Given that according to its original deduction, in this interrogation, Long Ruize failed to prove his identity, leading to him and Elder Chongzhen being killed by the Nineteenth Elder in the end.

This meant Long Tianlu’s Absolute Pulse Pill administered to Long Ruize hadn’t failed.

But now, Ao Ruize had successfully stepped across this dividing line, proving he possessed the Divine Dragon bloodline.

Connecting this to Ao Ruize’s identity as a Chinese person—

The milk dumpling couldn’t help but cheer again: “Descendants of the Dragon are awesome!!!”

Ao Ruize, who had merely released his spiritual soul power: “…”

But now was obviously not the time to study the milk dumpling’s brain circuits. As if thinking of something, Ao Ruize lifted his foot and continued walking forward.

Thus, under everyone’s gaze, he walked forward more than twenty steps in one breath.

If before this, the Sixth Elder was dissatisfied with Ao Ruize for toying with them…

Then now, the only expression left on his face was shock.

Because his own bloodline concentration was currently only ten percent, and that was after he had already undergone eight baptisms.

But now, Ao Ruize had directly walked more than twenty steps forward, which meant his bloodline concentration had reached ten percent.

Most importantly, when testing bloodline concentration, the further forward one walked, the greater the resistance would be.

But seeing Ao Ruize’s relaxed expression, it was clear he still had strength to spare.

This meant his bloodline concentration was far more than ten percent.

Was the Dragon Clan going to produce another prodigy?

Seeing this scene, the Nineteenth Elder and Elder Chongzhen beside him also looked at Ao Ruize in disbelief.

And in just this short moment.

Ao Ruize walked forward another five steps.

Thirteen percent.

This was already a number only the most outstanding prodigies in the clan could reach.

The Sixth Elder couldn’t help but clench his fists.

Was the Dragon Clan about to produce another rare genius seen only once in five thousand years?

In the next second, Ao Ruize walked forward another eight steps in one breath.

Seventeen percent.

The Clan Leader’s bloodline concentration was only this amount.

The Sixth Elder had forgotten how to breathe.

But Ao Ruize’s bloodline concentration was obviously far more than this.

Just at this time, Ao Ruize lifted his left foot again.

Long Tianlu’s face had already cracked.

Because the problem now wasn’t just that their plan had failed, but that things seemed to be developing in the direction they were most worried about.

He immediately shouted: “Impossible, this is impossible! You must have used some means to hoodwink Lord Dragon Soul…”

Just then, a deafening dragon roar suddenly came from above. A boundless pressure instantly centered on the golden pillar and crushed outwards in all directions, immediately sweeping through the entire Dragon Clan territory.

The faces of the Sixth Elder and the others turned pale instantly, and the milk dumpling in Ao Ruize’s sea of consciousness fainted directly.

The Sixth Elder and the others jerked their heads up, only to discover that Lord Dragon Soul on the golden pillar had awakened at some point, and was staring intently at Ao Ruize with a pair of enormous eyes.

“Lord Dragon Soul?”

Before they could react, the green dragon on the golden pillar began to twist rapidly.

Immediately following that, it suddenly soared into the air, rushing towards Ao Ruize.

Then, it instantly stopped in front of Ao Ruize.

As their eyes met, the green dragon’s eyes grew wider and wider, the joy on its face almost becoming tangible.

In the next second, it abruptly reached out a claw, grabbed Ao Ruize’s shoulder, soared into the sky, and rushed out of the Ancestral Hall.

Sixth Elder: “Lord Dragon Soul?”

Elder Chongzhen: “Ruize—”

They immediately chased after them.

But where was Lord Dragon Soul’s figure in the sky?

“What happened?”

However, before Elder Chongzhen could say this sentence, the Dragon Clan Leader and others who had rushed over beat him to it.

Clearly, they had all been alarmed by the commotion just caused at the Ancestral Hall.

…

On the other side, Lord Dragon Soul took Ao Ruize directly to a mountain peak that pierced the clouds.

After placing Ao Ruize steadily on the ground, Lord Dragon Soul looked down at Ao Ruize again. Its upper and lower jaws touched, and it actually spoke human language, its voice thunderous: “Dragon Clan?”

It couldn’t figure out where on earth Ao Ruize had popped out from.

But he was definitely a dragon, no mistake about it.

After all, it had accompanied the Dragon Clan for over a hundred thousand years and raised who knows how many dragon whelps; it couldn’t possibly mistake the spiritual soul power of a dragon.

But wasn’t Lord Green Dragon the last dragon in this world?

Or could it be that Ao Ruize was a descendant left behind by Lord Green Dragon at some point?

But these things actually didn’t matter.

Before Ao Ruize could react, the incredibly majestic-looking green dragon in front of him suddenly dissipated into the air.

Immediately after, a green glass ball the size of a basketball appeared in front of Ao Ruize.

It spoke in a muffled voice, with an urgency that was hard to ignore: “Grind claws?”

Ao Ruize: “…”

So this was the legendary favorite magic artifact of Lord Green Dragon.

Well-founded and reasonable.

Ao Ruize suddenly felt that his claws really were a little itchy.
