Reborn As A Dragon Girl With A System

"Haha! So the phoenix blood from the medal fused with her body. Good! This makes things interesting! Let's turn things up a notch!" Li Dong waved his hand, and the trial Kana was in began to tremble. 

Kana had just finished turning tens of thousands of skeletons into nothing but ash when she felt the ground tremble underfoot. She had a bad feeling. This feeling was almost a natural instinct, and that was that something was coming, and whatever it was could easily kill her. Not even taking time to question her own feelings, she quickly turned and began to run. She ran past Ako grabbing her hand and pulling her along as she said: "Ako, quickly run!" 

Watching from the mirror Li Dong was very surprised by Kana's decisive decision to run. "Oh? Not bad. She knew something stronger was coming." 

Kana did not even have time to question her ability to suddenly use her fire breath to its maximum, nor did she find anything off about the flame itself. If she had time to actually check her flame she would notice that it had now been mixed with another kind of flame, making her original dragon breath hundreds of times stronger. 

The world Kana was in was a world full of mysteries. Just the fact that cultivators were able to do many different things, such as merge items with their bodies and reforge their bodies, minds, and souls at unprecedented levels, was already an amazing benefit for Kana. Kana still had so much to learn, but for now, she could only escape and hope to keep her little life. 

The ground behind them suddenly exploded, sending bones and debris in all directions. When Kana and Ako turned to see what was happening, they only saw a large skeletal hand rising up towards the sky. It was thousands upon thousands of Kana's tall that the fingers were hidden by the black abyss above. What made the situation truly terrifying was not just the hand itself or what it was attached to, but the strong spiritual pressure it was giving off. Kana knew if she had not run, even if she did not get blown away by the hand breaking through the ground, she would be crushed by the spiritual pressure alone into a pancake. 

"Master, we really need to move faster! Excuse me!" Ako picked Kana up and began running with everything she had. Currently, even with her being a rank five divine beast, she felt immense fear from the thing coming up from underground. She did not hesitate to put Kana on her shoulder and run off. Her main concern right now was her Master's safety. If it came down to it, she would even sacrifice herself in order for Kana to get away. Otherwise, they would both die. And for Kana, who had treated her so well, Ako did not wish to see her die for no reason.

"Uhh… Ako, you need to run much faster!" Kana watched in horror as the hand that had reached up into the black abyss suddenly began to fall towards them. She knew if they were hit by that they would be squished like a bug! 

Ako used every bit of her spiritual qi to run as fast as she could. Sadly unlike her other relatives, she was never able to enter her family's pavilion to learn any movement techniques. She never thought there would be a day that she had wished she had snuck in to steal a few. She was a slime, so going out and eating once a month was all they needed to do while the rest of the time they could laze around hidden away from everything. But now, things are different. If she had just tried to fight against the oppression of her family, maybe she could be of more use.

Kana knew Ako was running as fast as she could. For Ako, she could probably get away if she didn't need to carry her. But whether Ako escaped or not did not matter. If she died, so would Ako. This was the fate of the contract the two had formed with each other. Seeing how the hand was getting closer and closer and that they were not even able to get out from under the palm, Kana could only sigh as she pushed off Ako and flipped her body around and onto the ground. 

"Master!" Ako slid to a stop and watched as Kana stood in front of her. She was looking up at the large skeletal hand coming towards them, her right hand gripping her sword.

Kana's image right now made her look like an immortal who had descended from the heavens. Her hair fluttered under the winds coming from the skeletal hand. "At our current speed, we will never get away. We can only try to face it head on and hope even if we are severely injured that we can pull through. Ako, if we die, I'm sorry. "

Kana turned her head and looked at Ako. Her gaze was firm, but if one looked deep enough into her eyes, they would see that she had regret, reluctance, and fear in them. She did not wish to die. She still had it get back to her family. She closed her eyes, and her body seemed to suddenly duplicate. Except the second form was translucent. This was her soul, her only trump card. She could only hope that it would be strong enough to do something. As soon as her soul stepped out of her body, it was as if time stood still….

"What!?" Li Dong stared at Kana's soul. His whole body shook with fear. Never in his many years had he ever met such a powerful soul. This soul was so strong that it made his own soul seem like a pea floating in space. "I really am a frog in a well… This little girl's soul is something of legends…"

After much thought, he decided there was no more point in this first trial.. She had already passed it as soon as she killed so many skeletons earlier. He waved his hand, and the space Kana and Ako was in, suddenly lit up…
