Chapter 643 - 502: Breakthrough to Rank 9: My Son, a Dragon at Last

"ROAR!!!"

A dragon’s roar erupted from Gao Neng’s mouth.

It was very sudden.

But it was more than loud enough.

And as the dragon’s roar rang out, an enormous, thirty-foot-tall phantom slowly materialized above Gao Neng’s head.

It shone with a brilliant golden light, magnificent and peerless.

It was a gigantic, golden dragon head.

It had two long whiskers and a pair of golden dragon eyes.

Of course, at the same moment the golden dragon head appeared, Gao Neng’s eyes also turned gold—a pure, solid gold.

Gao Neng looked at the world before him.

A strange sense of familiarity washed over him.

The world in front of his eyes had become incredibly vibrant.

Bit by bit...

All sorts of elements filled the air.

Gao Neng had experienced this feeling before.

In the Forgotten Land, when his Spiritual Power first connected with the "magnetic pile," he had seen an almost identical world.

A world teeming with elements!

He could manipulate any element he wished.

He raised a hand!

The oxygen in the air began to compress wildly.

He waved his hand!

The elements within the stones of the ground—iron, copper, carbon... He could manipulate them all at will.

An absolutely magnificent world.

But it was also a world that left Gao Neng so stunned he could barely move.

Because the gigantic dragon head above him was looking down on everything in Snow Demon City with an air of arrogant dominance.

Beside him, Fang Tangtang’s face was pale with fright.

"A dragon?! Gao Neng, you... Your Soul Saber, how did it turn into a dragon?!" Fang Tangtang’s shock was not without reason.

After all, Gao Neng had successfully condensed his soul a long time ago.

It was a saber!

A Soul Saber!

But now, that Soul Saber had become a gigantic dragon head.

How could Fang Tangtang not be astonished?

"My soul... turned into a dragon?" Gao Neng tilted his head back. He could clearly feel that the dragon head floating above him was the form of his soul.

Or rather, the form of his mutated soul.

But the problem was...

’Why did it mutate into a dragon?’

’This isn’t scientific at all!’

Gao Neng had never learned any techniques related to "dragons."

In a sense, the form a condensed soul took was actually related to a person’s cultivation.

For example, Ningning’Er’s soul had condensed into a long spear.

And Fang Tangtang’s soul was a giant cannon barrel.

Previously, Gao Neng’s soul had also been a saber.

But now, his soul had changed...

’It turned into a gigantic dragon head?’

’What’s going on?’

Gao Neng wanted to ask.

He felt that Xu Zilan definitely knew something about this.

But Xu Zilan didn’t wait for Gao Neng to ask before she spoke.

"Dragonification?" Xu Zilan’s expression slowly shifted from calm to surprised, and then from surprised to delighted.

In fact, it wasn’t just Xu Zilan.

Gao Xiaomeng was also pleasantly surprised.

"Brother, you’ve undergone dragonification! Your soul has undergone dragonification!" Gao Xiaomeng’s expression was much more direct than Xu Zilan’s; she looked absolutely thrilled.

"Dragonification?" Gao Neng looked at Xu Zilan, then at Gao Xiaomeng.

"To put it simply, you’ve finally... okay, I’ll let Mom explain it to you." Gao Xiaomeng was just about to speak when she caught Xu Zilan’s gaze and immediately shut her mouth.

"Little Neng, don’t be too surprised. As you know, I’ve been inside the Dragon Tomb." After glancing at Gao Xiaomeng, Xu Zilan’s gaze fell back on Gao Neng’s face.

"So, I inherited Dragon Blood from you?" Gao Neng roughly understood what Xu Zilan meant.

"Yes. I originally thought you didn’t have any Dragon Blood, but now it seems... I was wrong. The Dragon Blood I obtained in the Dragon Tomb was successfully passed on to you." Xu Zilan nodded.

"..." Gao Neng fell silent.

’He should be happy about this, right?’

After all, this at least proved one thing: he was Xu Zilan’s biological son.

Xu Zilan really was his mom...

He had never doubted this before he turned eighteen.

However, after seeing Xu Zilan in the Blood Race Royal City and then watching her transform into a white dragon, he’d really had a flicker of doubt.

’So, Mom... really is my biological mom.’

’There’s no escaping that fact.’

Moreover, after this dragon-head soul appeared, his Spiritual Power seemed to have entered a terrifyingly high realm.

At the very least, his perception of the elements was several levels stronger.

’A very powerful dragon-form soul!’

’My strength has jumped at least two levels!’

’But why does something feel a little strange?’

It wasn’t that Gao Neng didn’t believe Xu Zilan’s words; he just felt that she seemed to be deliberately hiding something from him.

’Dragon Maiden?’ Gao Neng recalled the name the Faceless Snow Demon had called Xu Zilan before it died. The title didn’t sound particularly special.

After all, in the Human Alliance, Xu Zilan was also known as the "Fairy Dragon."

But Gao Neng just felt that something was off.

"Little Neng, are you having a hard time adjusting to the sudden appearance of your dragon soul?" Just then, Xu Zilan spoke again.

"No, Mom... You don’t have to..."

"I did indeed hide this from you. In fact, I’ve hidden it from you for eighteen years." Xu Zilan waved her hand, then looked up at the dragon soul above Gao Neng’s head.

"Hidden it from me for eighteen years?" In the end, Gao Neng’s desire for the truth won out.

"Yes. I thought I would hide it from you forever, for your whole life. But now, you’ve unraveled it yourself. I’m truly happy for you," Xu Zilan said with a nod.
