Shen Yingxue's debut was formidable.
Strictly speaking, a Zither Master was indeed an auxiliary class, and an auxiliary player needed a damage dealer to maximize their effectiveness.
However, the lightning tribulation replicated by [Myriad Blossoms' Eye] possessed considerable destructive power.
Before entering this secret realm, Shen Yingxue had already simulated countless combat scenarios in her mind.
The last time Chu Yang had gathered everyone for a morale-boosting session, he had called her weak, which had displeasured her. She had held a grudge and was determined to prove herself.
She followed Zhang Xiaohu not to freeload, but because her zither music could provide powerful enhancements. Such enhancements were only effective when applied to the right individuals.
The final trial of [Spirit Beast Realm] began with the actions of Zhang Xiaohu and Shen Yingxue, sending a clear signal to everyone: this trial was going to be spectacular!
And it wasn't just Zhang Xiaohu and Shen Yingxue who were stealing the spotlight.
Xiao Long, as the possessor of the Chaos Body, had been steeped in dragon blood by Xue Qianwei for half a year, leading to a gradual and powerful accumulation of strength.
He was now at the peak of the Qi Refining realm. He could break through, but Chu Yang instructed him to suppress his cultivation, continue accumulating, and strive for perfection.
Now was his time to emerge. Since his talent had been identified, Xiao Long had disappeared from the public eye.
It was rumored he had become a personal disciple of Immortal Brother, but he had been kept hidden by Chu Yang, leaving people to speculate wildly.
With no news for such a long time, and with the rise of the tower-climbing craze, people's curiosity about this Chaos Body had gradually waned.
Now, Xiao Long, though only twelve... or rather, thirteen years old, had been in the secret realm for over a year.
His height and appearance had undergone a drastic transformation, to the point where even his own mother wouldn't recognize him.
However, just as Zhang Xiaohu and Shen Yingxue were unleashing heavenly lightning, Xiao Long refused to be outdone.
A Rank 3 Earth Armored Dragon attempted to ambush Xiao Long.
But Xiao Long, having been tempered by dragon blood for a year, did not retreat in the face of this formidable foe.
He revealed a ferocious grin, and the Chaos Light erupted from his body.
"From today onwards, I will suppress Li Qingyun and reclaim my beloved Xiaomei!"
If not for the latter half of that statement, it might have sounded rather ambitious.
"Roar!"
With a roar, Xiao Long's clothes were torn asunder.
This Earth Armored Dragon, despite its superior strength, was instantly startled, its blood circulation impeded.
"Roar?"
Was this a bloodline suppression? Why would it feel bloodline suppression from a human?
The Earth Armored Dragon was bewildered, but it still dug its claws into the ground and charged furiously at Xiao Long.
The air was ripped apart, creating sonic booms.
However, a shocking scene unfolded. The Chaos Light that manifested on Xiao Long's body gradually transformed into a blue-purple lightning.
And then... then this brat actually transformed into a colossal lightning dragon!
Yes, he not only transformed, but he also crossed species boundaries!
During his year of being stewed by Xue Qianwei, Xiao Long had been constantly evolving the lightning dragon power within the dragon blood. Other than an actual lightning dragon, no one understood lightning dragons better than him.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
The Earth Armored Dragon was terrified. This was the true pressure of a superior dragon race, incredibly intimidating!
Lightning roared, and the Earth Armored Dragon wailed.
Although it held the advantage in strength, this human brat had even evolved genuine dragon might. How could it fight back?
As a dragon of inferior bloodline, encountering dragon might of this level was like a grandson meeting his grandfather, rendering it almost immobile.
Thus, relying on bloodline suppression, Xiao Long, transformed into a lightning dragon, unleashed a tempestuous assault, fiercely biting at the Earth Armored Dragon.
Although the Earth Armored Dragon resisted, its movements became extremely sluggish. Xiao Long's "scratching" continued for half an hour before he finally killed it!
Transforming back into a human from the lightning dragon, Xiao Long quickly took out a set of clothes from his storage ring to cover his naked body before the lightning effects completely vanished.
"Hahaha! I, a Qi Refining realm cultivator, can slay a Rank 3 demonic beast. Can Li Qingyun do that? No, he can't!"
This was indeed a remarkable feat, a leap of two major realms. However, it was also due to the advantage of bloodline suppression. If it were a demonic beast unaffected by dragon bloodline, he would have been lucky to escape.
But the viewers watching the livestream had no knowledge of bloodline suppression.
"What the hell! Who is this guy?"
"He transformed across species? He can turn into a dragon?"
"Holy crap, that's a leap of two realms? What kind of monster is this?"
"Who is this general's subordinate?"
"..."
It wasn't until they saw the fluctuating names on the nearby leaderboard.
As Xiao Long acquired the demonic core, the leaderboard updated in real-time.
He directly climbed to tenth place.
"Damn, Xiao Long? Why does this name sound so familiar?"
"Holy crap! This is that Chaos Body that Immortal Brother took away earlier!"
"Heavens, this guy can actually transform into a giant dragon! No, the most important thing is, wasn't he a chubby kid half a month ago?"
"Did Immortal Brother feed him hormones? He went from elementary school student to college student in an instant? Skipping the intermediate stages?"
"..."
He had truly emerged out of nowhere. However, seeing Xiao Long's smug demeanor, Chu Yang felt a strong urge to discipline him!
His body had grown, but his mindset hadn't caught up. Little brats were so difficult to deal with!
"Damn it, does this kid really think he can just randomly kill Rank 3 demonic beasts?"
Chu Yang's concern was unwarranted. Xiao Long maintained a degree of confidence in his own strength; he had merely benefited from the advantage of the Rank 8 lightning dragon bloodline power earlier.
The subsequent progression was smooth.
Little brats also had their advantages: they were often chuunibyou and fearless, believing themselves to be the protagonists of their own stories.
Having obtained such immense power, he was eager to show it off. Thus, the initial shock and apprehension that many felt when facing demonic beasts for the first time were entirely absent in Xiao Long.
This season was destined to be a nightmare for all demonic beasts in the [Spirit Beast Realm].
Only demonic beasts of Rank 4 and above could feel a sufficient sense of security.
However, demonic beasts of Rank 4 and above were rare creatures in the entire [Spirit Beast Realm]. There were no more than ten Rank 5 demonic beasts, and only one Rank 6, which was the king of this world – the Xuanyang Sparrow.
Unfortunately, their king had long since defected.
Now, it was just waiting for Zhang Xiaohu to lead it away!
