Long Huang was filled with excitement and a strong desire to continue his cultivation when just then, an ancient voice echoed in his mind.
""Ancient Chaos Battle Dragon," the voice proclaimed. In his mind, a flame that was green in color appeared, and within it was an ancient creature; a beast with features that shouldn't be possible, a snake with five limbs. This snake, or should I say dragon, did nothing but coil itself and hover within the flames as it gazed at him with its flaming, soul-sucking eyes. It emitted an aura of benevolent holiness, but hidden deep within this heavenly aura was an ominous aura of utter savagery and domineering tyranny.
The mystical holiness emanating from this Dragon almost compelled Long Huang to bow and worship it, while its domineering loftiness made him subconsciously portray himself as a lower creature as compared to the body of this colossal dragon, its body a mix of lush green scales and a dark grey under belly, adorned with four horns on it's head with what seemed to be sentient tendrils or whiskers near it's mouth and trees growing upon its massive body.
"What! How is this possible? A human... hmm... hello, little human," the dragon spoke, its voice booming like thunder, causing Long Huang a headache. Words struggled to escape his lips, but just as the pain began to subside.
The dragon opened it mouth to speak again but seeing this Long Huang couldn't help but shout, "Shut up, you idiot! Your voice is going to kill me before that damn disease does!" The dragon seemed to understand him and shrank to the size of a car.
"Well, human, whom was it you just called an idiot?" the dragon asked with a self-righteous, mocking tone. Looking at the dragon, Long Huang couldn't help but think "A real dragon! So cool." as he forgot the grudge from the dragon's voice giving him a headache, The dragon, almost as if it heard his thoughts, smiled and said, "Cool? That's the first time I've been called that." Long Huang still couldn't believe what was happening as something that was a myth in both his past and present life stood right in front of him.
"Shit! Time is already running out. Just my luck, anyway. It's beyond me how you ended up with my bloodline, but you should be grateful, as I am the strongest ancient divine beast to ever roam the universe," the dragon said smugly.
"I am leaving you my legacy and inheritance. Don't bring shame to my bloodline," the dragon continued. Before Long Huang could respond, the scene of his room reappeared in his vision, accompanied by a headache ten times worse than before.
"Fuck, I knew it! That asshole is trying to kill me," he thought. As he contemplated this, a stream of information flowed into his mind. After nearly an hour, his headache calmed, and Long Huang was even more shocked and excited than when he first transformed. If his previous transformation was physical, he now underwent a mental one.
Long Huang discovered that his bloodline was actually the mythical Ancient grade bloodline, the strongest one at that. He learned that what he thought was a disease was his hidden body constitution absorbing all the vitality in his blood due to his lack of cultivation. However, he still needed to reach the Blood Tempering Realm before the age of 16 to unlock his body constitution fully. Along with this, he acquired a cultivation technique unique to his bloodline and a dragon tower that he could unlock at the Qi Condensing Realm and other knowledge he had yet yo make sense of.
"Chaos Battle Dragon Breathing Technique," he whispered, as the contents of the technique shocked him to the core. Normally, Qi used regular cultivatiors and Battle Energy used by body cultivators are cultivated with different techniques, and this holds for ordinary cultivation techniques ranging from common to emperor grades. But his cultivation technique was of the Ancient grade, and he cultivated not ordinary Qi and Battle energy but Chaos Battle Dragon energy which was a extreme mix of the two.
A normal first-stage Skin Tempering Realm cultivator has the strength of around 300 pounds. However, cultivators with bloodlines are different; Ordinary grade bloodlines get an additional 100-125 pounds in strength, while Variant grade bloodlines receive an increase of 200-250 pounds. Earth bloodlines gain 350-700 pounds, Heaven bloodlines increase from 750-1000 pounds, and Emperor bloodlines can increase from 1200 to 3000 pounds. It's said that strength increments vary after Emperor grade bloodlines.
Long Huang found that he gained an increase of 8000 pounds from his bloodline alone and would gain another 1000 pounds with every breakthrough in the Skin Tempering Realm due to his cultivation technique, along with the base 300-pound increase, which was heaven-defying. His bloodline also granted him the ability to absorb anything with energy and an affinity for all elements, including the power of chaos.
He then sat down and began practicing the new technique. With his bloodline and technique working together, he attracted spiritual energy from basically the entire city, alarming everyone around him, though this went unnoticed by him as he continued cultivating throughout the night.
Morning came, and the sun slowly rose. The rays of sunlight filtered through the trees on the western mountain, shining on Long Huang's house. He had just finished his cultivation when he heard a slight sizzling sound beneath his skin. "6th stage Skin Tempering Realm, not bad," Long Huang smiled. He then turned and looked toward the blinds he had made as the sun crept slowly through.
"Morning already? Damn, I didn't even get to sleep," Long Huang said to himself as he took a morning bath in the stream near his tiny modern house, glancing back at the building.
"Huang Min has been pestering me to make one for her as well. I've been putting it off for too long," Long Huang sighed, thinking of his cute little senior sister. Just then, he heard someone calling his name.
"Hey! Long Huang, are you home?" shouted Huang Min. "Your senior sister is getting tired of waiting!"
He chuckled and shouted back, "I'm taking a bath, oh so powerful senior sister! Do you want to join me?"
"Who wants to join you, you stinky?" she replied, her cheeks flushing bright pink. Long Huang responded, "Give me a moment." He quickly wrapped himself in a loose cloth, acting as a towel, and stepped out to the front of his house.
"What is it you want, Huang Min? It's so early in the morning," Long Huang grumbled as he shook his wet silver-gray hair. Meanwhile, Huang Min was too stunned by the change in Long Huang; it was too great for her to process.
"Oh, come on, what do you want?" Long Huang said, sounding annoyed. Then the words "So hot" escaped Huang Min's lips.
"What's so hot, senior sister?" Long Huang asked cheekily, a slight smile on his face.
"The...the...the sun! Yeah, I'm talking about the sun," Huang Min replied, staring at Long Huang and taking in the sight of him. Seeing her reaction, he couldn't help but comment, "But the sun has barely just risen, senior."
"Shut up, you jerk!" Huang Min said angrily after he called her out. Long Huang couldn't help but laugh at the senior. "Shocked, huh?"
"Yes," Huang Min replied instinctively.
"So was I! I'm so handsome I could live off just my looks alone," Long Huang boasted.
"Anyways, back to the point," Huang Min said, "I came to cheer you up after what happened yesterday."
"What are you talking about?" he asked, slightly confused about what could have made him need cheering up.
"The awakening ceremony, idiot," Huang Min replied.
"Oh, that," he instantly understood and said, "No need. I'm doing alright, as you can see."
"Yes, but how did you change so much overnight? You're like a completely different person," Huang Min said. Curiously inspecting Long Huang with her eyes.
Scratching his head, he replied, "I might have awakened a special constitution." Huang Min was even more shocked upon hearing this. "What constitution is it? Tell me quickly!" she urged, gripping Long Huang's shoulders and shaking him.
"Fine, fine, fine! I'll tell you. It's called the Ancient Chaos Battle Dragon Body, but it's still kind of locked," he said.
"Never heard of it, but it sounds powerful," Huang Min responded.
"Well, can you keep it a secret for me, please?" Long Huang asked.
"Hmm, if you beg me sincerely, I might consider it," Huang Min replied smugly.
Rolling his eyes, Long Huang said, "With such a change to my appearance, people are bound to ask questions and find out eventually, so no."
"Was worth a shot," Huang Min said dejectedly, noticing her expression. Long Huang laughed and Huang Min then proceeded to say, "Oh!, did you notice that strange phenomenon last night?"
"No, I was cultivating" Long Huang replied. Huang Min then said " More like sleeping cause if you were there's no way you wouldn't have noticed"
" I truly was cultivating " said Long Huang as he grew annoyed.
Huang Min then said in a mocking tone, " Sure, sure you're such a cultivating genius but yet you still didn't notice almost all the spiritual energy in the city was drained "
"What!!!" Long Huang said shocked by this discovery but then thinking back when his bloodline transformed it did start engulfing spirit energy like crazy . But before he could say anything Huang Min said something that made him laugh .
"Word on street is that Chi Wei probably broke through to First-stage Skin Tempering Realm and caused " Long Huang laughed saying " That piece of cow shit, caused such a phenomenon "
"Exactly what I'm saying, it's impossible for a Earth grade bloodline no matter the level to absorb so much spiritual energy" said Huang Min confidently. Hearing this Long Huang couldn't help but say" How come you seem so sure that it can't, it's not like you've seen an earth grade bloodline before "
" What stinking Earth grade, your senior sister here is a boneified Heaven grade bloodline holder" Said Huang Min proudly.
