“Just because it’s rare doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist!”
With a calm smile, Fred asked, “Isn’t Mond Aston the White Tiger Knight from the Dragon God Academy also a double bloodline-holder?”
“President Fred, since Meng Lei holds two types of bloodlines, I’d like to know what his other bloodline is?”
Angus, who continued to pursue the matter, asked, “Just what kind of bloodline can actually allow him—at the age of 16—to have a powerful body that’s comparable to Prince Barbarossa’s?”
With curiosity in their eyes, everyone else’s gazes also landed on President Fred. Even Frederick the 32nd was no exception!
At that, President Fred could only give a wry smile as he replied, “I don’t know what Meng Lei’s other bloodline is, either. I’ve only determined that he must be a holder of two types of bloodlines when I saw the Dragon God Genius Ranking’s indication yesterday.”
“Meng Lei is a Fire Dragon Magic Academy student, Fred. Don’t you even know what bloodlines he holds?”
Angus went on and said sarcastically, “Surely that genius student of yours isn’t really a pure-blooded human, is he? Because if that’s true, then that’ll really make him too great of a monster!”
At his comments, a slight frown appeared on Frederick the 32nd’s countenance, and he said, “Meng Lei is a Fire Dragon Magic Academy student. As the academy president, don’t you even know what the other half of his bloodline is? That’s rather inexcusable!”
“Your Majesty, I’m indeed not sure!” President Fred then hastily continued, “But Meng Lei certainly holds the Fire Dragon bloodline in him. I can swear to the Dragon God with regard to that. May Your Majesty look into the matter!”
“A 16-year-old Saint Domain Great Magician and the owner of a Saint Domain body at the same time… Not even a Fire Dragon Person can achieve that, no matter how great of a genius they are!”
Frederick the 32nd drummed his fingers against the throne lightly as he said, “When the exchange competition is over, I’ll have to ask that little fellow what his other bloodline is!”
At which, Fred repeated respectfully, “May Your Majesty look into the matter!”
‘Ask’? Bluntly put, it was an investigation. Fred knew that His Majesty had ultimately still become somewhat suspicious of Meng Lei.
His reaction was understandable, though!
After all, Meng Lei’s achievements were simply too outrageous, so much so that people could hardly accept it. Should they not conduct a thorough investigation at this point, who could be sure just what kind of creature Meng Lei might actually be?
A devil genius like Adolf?
A spy sent by other existential planes?
Or the reincarnation of some evil god?
All the possibilities were extremely disadvantageous to Meng Lei, no matter which it was. In Dragon God Empire, there was no place for even a pure human genius like Timon Barton, let alone other creatures?
Boom!
Just as Fred’s thoughts were running at full speed, Meng Lei and Prince Barbarossa’s battle also reached the climax!
Meng Lei hadn’t used any magic in the showdown; instead, he’d chosen to purely butt heads with the other party. In this instant, his body’s great strength was exhibited to its fullest!
His senses were sharper than Barbarossa’s!
He had more endurance than Barbarossa!
Even his weakest aspect—physical strength—was almost equally matched with Barbarossa!
After a few clashes, Meng Lei was currently at a complete advantage. Neither red-faced nor out of breath, he looked as if nothing had even happened. On the other hand, Prince Barbarossa, who had transformed into his true form, was actually panting heavily and wounded in several places!
It was obvious at a glance who the stronger one was!
“Brat, don’t go too far. He’s a prince, after all. Don’t embarrass him too much!”
Ol’ Amos reminded him and said, “You’ve already shown yourself to be enough of a monster. If you display your monstrous abilities any further, aren’t you afraid that you’ll be captured and sliced into pieces for research purposes?”
“Sliced into pieces for research purposes? I’d like to see if anyone has the guts to do that!” Meng Lei sneered, “I’m a member of the empire’s royalty, you know. Who would have the guts to do something like that?”
“A member of the empire’s royalty? Don’t you have any idea what kind of bloodline you’ve awakened?”
Ol’ Amos rolled his eyes and said, “I’ll tell you, kid, once your Golden Gods-Slaying Ant bloodline is exposed, it’s all over. You definitely won’t end up any better than Adolf!”
“Don’t worry, Ol’ President, I’m not Adolf. It’s also impossible for me to ever be!”
A calm and composed Meng Lei smiled and said, “I’d initially planned on associating with you as an ordinary person, but all that got me was instead just suspicion and jealousy. Forget it. I’m quitting the show and laying my cards on the table now!”
“…”
Ol’ Amos looked absolutely stupefied at his words.
Then, Meng Lei said no more. Initially, he hadn’t planned on assimilating that particular bloodline, but Ol’ Amos’ warning had changed his mind.
If one was ten times more outstanding than others, people would envy them!
If one was 100 times more outstanding than others, people would look up to them!
But when one was so outstanding that it surpassed the range of what people could comprehend, then what it attracted would no longer just be envy and idolization but very likely also… Endless suspicion and trouble!
Meng Lei more or less, understood that somewhat!
Therefore…
“System! Assimilate the Golden Colossal Dragon bloodline!”
“Yes, host!”
Boom!
An incredibly sharp and incomparably domineering aura abruptly burst forth from his body before breaking out into dazzling golden light!
For a moment there, golden light much like blazing golden flames circled around Meng Lei, transforming him into the brilliant sun!
As if a breached dam, a fairly violent wave of pain rushed madly into his limbs, body, and his central nervous system, reaching every nook and cranny of his body and every inch of his skin!
Had this been in the past, Meng Lei would no doubt have been in great pain and agony. However, at his current cultivation level, this pain was nothing more than just a drizzle. Compared to what it had been like in the past, it was just child’s play!
Splurt!
Splurt!
Amid horrifying sounds of bones piercing through flesh, several golden scales coated in blood gradually emerged from within his body like mushrooms sprouting after rain.
One scale, two scales, three scales…
It was followed closely by two dragon horns and a dragon tail before it ended with a pair of golden bat-like wings that shone with dazzling golden light!
Boom!
The dazzling golden flames blazed on, instantly evaporating all the bloodstains on Meng Lei. He also turned straight into a Golden Colossal Dragon Person covered from head to toe in golden-yellow dragon scales! Standing at two-meters-tall, he had a pair of golden horns on his head, golden wings on his back, and a golden dragon tail on his bottom!
Boom!
A wave of pure dragon might erupted from Meng Lei and swept toward every direction, causing the countenances of everyone within several kilometers of where he was to change dramatically upon sensing the pure dragon might!
A severe jolt went through all the contestants present!
Everyone at the cathedral was also totally dumbfounded!
“G… Golden C-Colossal Dragon Person?”
“He’s a Golden Colossal Dragon Person?”
Angus’ facial expression was incredibly exciting as it went through a myriad of different emotions—astoundment, disappointment, indignation, disbelief…
“Meng Lei’s other bloodline is actually the Golden Colossal Dragon bloodline? O Dragon God above, this is simply too astonishing!”
President Fred and the Fighting Dragon Academy president exchanged a look, both seeing the astonishment in each other’s eyes. When they had been watching Meng Lei’s Dragon God Tower challenge the day before, they’d already determined that Meng Lei must be a double bloodline-holder.
However, never would they have ever expected his other bloodline to actually be the Golden Colossal Dragon bloodline! This was simply too unbelievable!
“But! This is great! Exceedingly great!”
After the momentary surprise, President Fred was overjoyed. “Since Meng Lei possesses the Golden Colossal Dragon bloodline, then that makes him a member of the Dragon God Empire’s royalty. Who would dare cast doubt upon him now?”
The moment the thought occurred to him, Fred hurriedly turned to Emperor Frederick the 32nd, who was obviously also astounded.
“No wonder that little fellow’s body is so strong and tough! So he’s a member of the royal family! I am extremely glad to know that!”
