#154 - Brother Black Dragon, here I come again!
“Roar!”
As Xu Chengxian took out the plate-sized sphere and tossed it into the air.
A flood dragon swam through the churning clouds, its shadowy form projected before him, now visible, now hidden.
“These scales…?”
The gleaming, cold light of the flood dragon's scales was quite different from the densely packed snake scales that revealed gaps as it moved.

From tail to head, each scale overlaid the next, appearing more tightly packed and secure.
“This body… seems even more robust?”
In the clouds, the flood dragon had a broad forehead, a large head, a thick neck, a tail with a mane, and four claws under its belly.
It wasn't narrow at both ends like a snake or python.
“…Cough, cough!” Xu Chengxian looked at his own snake body.
He, too, didn't have a narrow physique at both ends.
On the contrary, while he was thick everywhere, his head was even larger, and his neck was also thick.
Except for the lack of mane on his back and tail tip, and the absence of antlers on his head, he resembled a flood dragon even more than a flood dragon itself.
Of course, the flood dragon's eyes were round, while his were vertical slits.
“Roar!”
A furious roar seemed to contain an unspeakable majesty.
As the flood dragon swam, its body twisted and coiled, causing the surrounding clouds to surge endlessly, as if the sky behind it trembled with its movements.
Suddenly, it turned its head and glared at Xu Chengxian.
Its angry gaze seemed to question why the flower snake on the bed refused to submit to it.
“The pressure of a superior?”
“Suppression from bloodline inheritance?”
Xu Chengxian felt surprised and puzzled by the trace of trembling from his bloodline that arose at that moment.
Not to mention refining the blood essence, extracting its aura, and completing the visualization, so that the thunder tribulation for advancing to a great demon would be easier to evolve.
“Transform from a snake body into a python, grow horns on the head, and manifest a human-like dharma body.” He recalled what he had heard from Lingxiao and Lingyunzi about Bai Xiaocui's path of cultivation.
Bai Xiaocui, who had spent half a month two months ago to completely refine and absorb a few traces of aura from the flood dragon blood essence, was now in his next room.
She was also currently cultivating.
Some changes had also occurred on her body.
Although the time was still short, only two months had passed, Xu Chengxian could still clearly observe with his divine sense that a small bulge had appeared on the top of her head.
The dragon's head during transformation has antlers-like forked dragon horns.
These dragon horns are also called measuring rods of the sky.
Dragons must have these horns to fly into the sky and make clouds and rain.
Dragons without claws can also ascend to the sky, but dragons without horns can only lie dormant on the ground.
The flood dragon's horns, however, are two straight ones.
Therefore, they do not ascend to the sky, but mostly stay in the water or enter the sea.
The fish transforming into dragon technique, which requires undergoing thunder tribulation to ascend to the sky and wash in the dragon transformation pool, must grow horns.
And the horns must grow first, before anything else.
“By the ninth rank, these two dragon horns should be able to sprout out.” Xu Chengxian thought to himself.
The sphere he was watching now was the imprint that Bai Xiaocui had left in her divine soul after visualizing the flood dragon, imprinted and distributed to him, Lingxiao, and Lingyunzi for them to observe.
Judging from the projection in front of him, Ms. Xiaocui's harvest was not bad.
This flood dragon had some spirit.
It should have five-tenths of the original owner's majesty.
Boom!
Rumble!
Thunder rumbled, accompanying every surge of the flood dragon, like war drums being beaten.
Very shocking.
“Roar!”
The flood dragon's eyes were like cold lamps in the abyss.
It stared at Xu Chengxian, its eyes filled with coldness and cruelty.
“Whoa!”
“All dragon species are ferocious beasts.”
“Cold-blooded and ruthless, bloodthirsty and fond of killing.”
This was said to have been passed down from ancient times.
Of course, in the ancient era when the Ancestral Dragon and ancient demons roamed, perhaps 90% of cultivators were ferocious beasts.
The Qi refiners of that time were also walking killing machines.
In the primordial era filled with chaotic spiritual energy, ferocity was the mainstream.
“Fortunately, I wasn't born in that era.” Xu Chengxian, watching the flood dragon in the projection vividly portray what was meant by a ferocious temperament, couldn't help but feel fortunate.
If he had really been born in ancient times, with his current size, he might have been eaten as a spicy stick by a big shot.
“No, if I work hard, maybe I can become a grilled sausage!”
“Roar!”
Suddenly, the flood dragon in the projection accelerated sharply, its body almost turning into a blur as it shuttled through the clouds.
It opened its huge mouth, emitting a deafening roar, and the clouds surged with its roar.
The flood dragon's four claws instantly tore apart the surrounding clouds.
Then, it twisted its body and wagged its tail, disappearing again.
“Hmm?”
Xu Chengxian, who had been somewhat absent-minded, treating it like watching a 'short film,' suddenly became interested.
The final wag of its tail, tearing apart the clouds with its four claws, surprised him somewhat.
There were countless kinds of flood dragons, snakes, and pythons in this world, and even various creatures with dragon bloodlines with different images.
But in the final analysis, everyone had the bloodline inheritance of the Ancestral Dragon.
It's just that the proximity and thinness of the bloodline vary.
Therefore, visualizing the original form of the flood dragon might be beneficial to their cultivation, especially improving their combat power and comprehending combat skills.
Therefore, Lingxiao and Lingyunzi had found a way to have Bai Xiaocui imprint this sphere.
Wagging its tail was a common attack method for him, and he had also awakened a talent combat skill.
Therefore, the other party's wag of the tail, although fleeting, still gave him a flash of inspiration and something to gain.
A snake body doesn't have claws.
So, in combat, he had never thought of using claws to attack his opponents.
In previous battles, he had been injured by Yu Feilong's claws.
At this time, seeing the flood dragon's movements, he couldn't help but feel a stirring in his heart.
“I can use blood qi and divine sense to create barbs on my tail.”
“Why did I forget that I could create four claws!”
Claws!
Yes! Claws!
He had thought about transforming into human limbs to fight.
However, randomly condensing and manifesting human arms, transforming them separately for battle and sneak attacks, was still possible.
But if it was on a demon body, it would be difficult to use and would not achieve the desired effect.
A snake body with human limbs is certainly uncoordinated!
So, why doesn't he try dragon claws?
“This is like darkness under the lamp! A brilliant point that the blind student didn't notice!” Xu Chengxian narrowed his vertical pupils and swung his tail.
Thinking about it, he should find something to fight.
To test whether it would work.
“Who should I look for?”
Lingxiao and Lingyunzi were definitely out of the question.
The former was immersed in cultivation, and the latter was wholeheartedly devoted to refining various elixirs.
A drop of flood dragon blood essence, even when sealed, was still the size of a human head.
The weight was even more astonishing.
Enough for him to fully display his elixir refining skills.
And it had to be done as soon as possible, the remaining blood still had to be used to plant dragon blood trees.
“Got it!” Xu Chengxian thought of someone.
As the saying goes, it is better to resolve enmities than to create them.
He happened to have an enmity that hadn't been resolved!
…
A moment later.
He burst open the door of a cross-courtyard.
“Black Flood Dragon brother, open the door! Open the door! I'm here to play with you again!”
