Chapter 22 Special Achievement: Dragon Knight
Zhou Tian smiled and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly frowned.
He noticed that the aura emanating from Long Ling'er was somewhat different from before.
The dragon horns had not only grown larger, but their tips also faintly emitted a golden light, just like real dragon horns.
The oppressive aura emanating from her was no longer just a fluctuation of spiritual energy, but a more ancient and noble aura.
This is... the Dragon's Might!
Although it was still very weak, the "Dragon Essence" within Zhou Tian's body reacted instinctively, with a palpitation that was almost one of submission.
"Senior sister, your dragon horns..."
Zhou Tian reached out and gently touched the pair of golden-red dragon horns.
"Um?"
"It seems... I've grown up a bit."
Long Ling'er tilted her head and reached out to touch it herself.
She closed her eyes and sensed for a moment, then suddenly opened them, a golden light flashing in her eyes: "My dragon bloodline... has strengthened once more!"
"Bloodline enhancement?" Zhou Tian pressed.
"Um."
"For us dragon descendants, the concentration of our bloodline determines our maximum potential. My original bloodline could only support my cultivation up to the Golden Core stage, but now..."
Long Ling'er nodded, sat up from Zhou Tian's embrace, and explained earnestly.
She felt the ancient and surging power within her, and her eyes shone with a dazzling light.
"Now, I feel that as long as there are enough resources, reaching the Nascent Soul stage is not impossible! Moreover..."
Long Ling'er paused, her face revealing a mixture of longing and ambition.
"According to our clan's ancient records, if a cultivator with dragon blood can raise their cultivation to the Mahayana stage in their lifetime, their bloodline will completely revert to its ancestral state, awakening the true dragon lineage. At that time, they will be able to sense the 'Dragon Clan Grotto-Heaven' hidden deep in the void."
"Dragon Clan Grotto-Heaven?" Zhou Tian's heart stirred.
"right."
"That's a treasure left behind by the ancient dragon race. It contains not only the cultivation techniques, magical artifacts, and elixirs accumulated by the dragon race over tens of thousands of years, but also, according to legend... a 'Dragon Transformation Pool' that can completely transform the descendants of the dragon race into true dragons!"
Long Ling'er nodded, her eyes shining even brighter.
Her voice trembled slightly with excitement.
"Once I reach the Mahayana stage, I will gain the right to inherit the grotto-heaven. At that time, all the treasures inside... will belong to me."
After speaking, Long Ling'er turned her head and looked intently at Zhou Tian.
The look in her eyes was no longer the innocent and shy one before, but rather a kind of alluring and longing that was almost bewitching.
She reached out, her slender fingertips gently tracing across Zhou Tian's chest, finally resting on his heart.
"Junior brother..."
Long Ling'er leaned close to Zhou Tian's ear, her breath sweet and her voice soft and seductive.
"Please help your senior sister... help her enter the Mahayana path, okay?"
With her other hand, she quietly wrapped her arms around Zhou Tian's neck.
The dragon horns on her forehead shimmered with a golden-red light, illuminating her face, which now appeared both innocent and alluring.
"If I can inherit the Dragon Clan's Grotto-Heaven, I'll give you half of the treasures inside."
As Long Ling'er spoke, her red lips approached Zhou Tian's earlobe, gently taking it in her mouth and lightly rubbing it with her teeth.
"and......"
Her voice was lowered, carrying a certain direct implication.
"Once Senior Sister becomes a true dragon... you can ride her however you want..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Long Ling'er pressed herself against him.
During their skin-to-skin contact, Zhou Tian could clearly feel the changes in her body.
Her delicate body was more supple and powerful than before, her body temperature was higher, her heart was pounding like a drum, and every inch of her skin seemed to contain explosive power.
The most dangerous thing is that the newly born dragon might on Long Ling'er's body is being released intentionally or unintentionally.
Mixed with Long Ling'er's unique body fragrance, it creates an indescribable allure.
Zhou Tian's Adam's apple bobbed, and the "Dragon Essence" within his body vibrated violently, generating a contradictory impulse that both wanted to submit and to conquer.
He knew that Long Ling'er's bloodline awakening not only enhanced her strength but also awakened certain instincts of the dragon race within her.
Greed, domineering, and an instinctive craving for a powerful partner.
"Is my senior sister trying to seduce me?"
Zhou Tian chuckled and teased, saying that Long Ling'er was now even more domineering than before.
Long Ling'er chuckled, her dragon horns brushing against his cheek: "Junior brother, don't you like it?"
"like."
"However, senior sister, you need to show your sincerity first."
Zhou Tian rolled over and pulled her back into his arms, his eyes blazing with fury.
"How do you mean it?" Long Ling'er raised her chin provocatively.
Zhou Tian did not answer, but gave the answer through his actions.
A new round of training has begun.
This time, Long Ling'er completely let go.
Her current confidence stems from her Golden Core cultivation level and awakened dragon bloodline.
Inside the cave, the roar of the dragon was deafening, and golden-red light flashed continuously.
The two fought from the ice bed to the hot spring pool, and then from the pool to the air above the cave.
Wherever it passed, ice crystals shattered, waves surged, and spiritual storms swept through every corner.
System notifications rang wildly in Zhou Tian's mind:
[Ding! Detected deep activation of the host's dragon bloodline, dual cultivation efficiency increased by 300%!]
[Ding! Special energy resonance detected, hidden achievement progress unlocked: Dragon Knight (1/100)!]
......
After an unknown amount of time, when everything finally calmed down, Long Ling'er's cultivation had stabilized at the peak of the early Golden Core stage, just one step away from the middle stage.
Zhou Tian also benefited greatly from this frenzied dual cultivation.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, your cultivation has broken through to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment!]
[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the special achievement Dragon Knight: You will gain a 100% suppression effect when facing dragon creatures.]
[Ding! The Dragon Essence has reached the second stage, gaining a new ability: Nine-Striped Dragon Protection (Passive): Automatically generates dragon scale phantoms for defense when attacked, capable of withstanding a full-force attack from an early-stage Golden Core cultivator.]
Zhou Tian exhaled a long breath, and within this breath, the dragon's might was faintly revealed. It actually condensed into a faint golden arrow of energy in the air, which shot out three zhang before slowly dissipating.
He looked down at Long Ling'er in his arms, who was too exhausted to speak, and a smile appeared on his lips.
Mahayana stage? Dragon Clan Grotto-heaven?
That sounds like... a good target.
"Senior Sister," Zhou Tian called softly.
"Hmm..." Long Ling'er didn't even bother to open her eyes, and just gave a vague reply.
"What you just said..."
"I agree."
Zhou Tian paused for a moment, then immediately spoke to Long Ling'er.
Long Ling'er suddenly opened her eyes, a golden light flashing in them: "Really?"
"real."
"However, before that..."
Zhou Tian nodded, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable firmness.
He leaned down and whispered in her ear.
"You have to help me first, turn all the other senior sisters... into Golden Core cultivators one by one."
Long Ling'er was taken aback at first, but then she understood what Zhou Tian meant.
A sly glint flashed in her eyes, and a charming smile curved her lips.
"make a deal."
The two exchanged a smile, a tacit understanding conveyed in their eyes.
Outside the cave, night fell.
