"hiss......"

After reading the skill descriptions on the panel, Zhou Huai slapped his thigh.

"What an incredibly powerful and unstoppable warrior hero!"

It has incredibly high health, and its stamina and strength growth are extremely high. Its passive skill grants it complete immunity to all magical attacks; if it encounters top-tier mages, wouldn't it be a one-sided massacre?

Even more perverse is that Ancestral Dragon Blood Pact.

Bind yourself to a giant dragon and instantly ascend to the quasi-god level!

In Zhou Huai's mind, a black figure that he had been keeping in the underground base of the Eternal Night Guild, gathering dust, appeared.

Little Black Dragon!

Since being subdued, that little guy has been growing for too long, and his strength has never been able to keep up with Zhou Huai's pace of battle, so he's almost been forgotten.

"Haha, Little Black..." Zhou Huai laughed, "Your hard days are over. Now, you can finally be of great use!"

A demonic dragon that has been forcibly elevated to the level of a quasi-god, paired with this SSS-level Imperial Ancestral Dragon Rider.

Zhou Huai did not hesitate at all.

When the professional ball, shimmering with dark gold dragon patterns, was completely integrated into the system, he almost instinctively gave this brand-new SSS-level clone a name in his mind.

Arthur.

A simple name, yet it exudes the aura of an ancient king.

【Ding! Naming successful!】

The system notification sounded, followed by the shaping stage.

Zhou Huai's consciousness sank into a chaotic void, and he began to create this brand new body based on his imagination.

He did not mold Arthur into the appearance of a Bactrian.

What comes to mind is the image of a Western man with well-defined features, a high nose bridge, and deep-set eyes.

Arthur's skin had a healthy, ivory-white sheen.

The muscles are well-proportioned, presenting a streamlined aesthetic, much like the sculpture of the god of war in ancient Greek mythology.

Her short, neat blond hair shone in the light.

His eyes were a deep blue.

"Very good, that's how it is." Zhou Huai nodded in satisfaction.

The reason Arthur was portrayed as a typical Free Commonwealth citizen was naturally to lay the groundwork for his subsequent plans.

The headquarters of the Dawn Guild, Mr. Duan's lair, and his mother, who has been missing for five years and whose fate remains unknown...

All the clues point to that land across the ocean.

Infiltrating the Free Federation is an inevitable step.

Arthur was the sharpest piece he had prepared for this move.

...

Two hours later.

On the deck of the dilapidated fishing boat, the salty sea breeze blows.

"Buzz—"

A flash of white light appeared, and a tall and imposing figure materialized out of thin air.

This is Arthur, the dragon knight who has been fully sculpted.

He was over 1.9 meters tall, shirtless, and wearing only a simple pair of linen pants, revealing his perfect inverted triangle physique and eight-pack abs.

Her short, golden hair fluttered in the sea breeze, and her blue eyes held an air of arrogance and aloofness.

"Young Master, this...this is also your clone?"

Uncle Fu came out of the cabin carrying a bowl of freshly stewed fish soup. When he saw the foreigners suddenly appearing on the deck, he was so startled that his hand trembled and he almost dropped the bowl.

Zhou Huai smiled and said, "That's right, Uncle Fu, this is the new guy."

He raised his hand, and the illusory figure of Li Er beside him automatically split into two external avatars.

"One will stay behind to protect my main body at any time," Zhou Huai ordered.

"The other one, take Arthur back to the outskirts of Eastsea City."

"yes."

One of the avatars respectfully responded and then grabbed Arthur's shoulder.

"Whoosh!"

Space distorted, and the two disappeared from the fishing boat.

...

Two more hours passed.

Outside Donghai City, on a deserted coastline.

After bringing Arthur to this place, the incarnation of Li Er quietly concealed himself and hid in the shadows.

Zhou Huai's consciousness had completely sunk into Arthur's body.

He stretched his body and clenched his fists.

"Little Black!"

Zhou Huai raised his head and called out to the empty sky.

This call is conveyed through a covenant forged deep within the soul.

"hold head high--!!!"

A high-pitched dragon roar echoed from the distant horizon!

A huge black dot is approaching at an extremely terrifying speed from afar!

The wind howled!

In just over ten seconds, the black dot had already reached the sky.

Only then can its full appearance be seen.

It was an enormous black dragon!

Now, Xiao Hei is over thirty meters tall, and its wingspan is so large that it blots out the sky and casts a huge shadow.

Its body was covered with obsidian dragon scales that shimmered with a metallic sheen, the edges of which flashed with a cold light.

With its ferocious dragon head and golden vertical pupils, just the sight of it hovering in mid-air exudes a terrifying pressure emanating from a hellish BOSS, enough to shatter the hearts of any professional below S-rank!

It's been a long time since we last saw him, and now Little Black has acquired some of the majestic appearance of a grown-up dragon!

Its level isn't very high, just reaching level 30, but it looks excellent.

"hold head high!"

Xiao Hei saw Arthur below, and his golden vertical pupils revealed joy.

Its massive body landed, folding its wings ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) as if afraid that the movement might injure the tiny figure on the ground.

The enormous dragon head lowered itself, approached Arthur, rubbed against his palm, and made gurgling sounds in its throat.

Zhou Huai, controlling Arthur, raised his hand to stroke Xiao Hei's hard dragon scales.

"Little thing, you've grown so big."

"You've been out there having fun for so long, haven't you had enough?"

"It's time for me to follow my master and fight alongside him."

"hold head high--!"

Xiao Hei let out a low growl, its massive head nodding, its golden vertical pupils gleaming with fighting spirit.

It opened its mouth.

Master, I've been waiting for this day for a long time!

Zhou Huai laughed heartily and no longer hesitated.

He placed his palm on Xiao Hei's forehead!

"In the name of Arthur, I hereby forge... the Blood Pact of the Ancestral Dragon!"

A deafening explosion rang out!

As soon as he finished speaking, a dark golden light burst forth from Arthur's palm!

Within the light, an ancient dragon's might emanated!

Countless golden runes surged from Arthur's palm, running down Little Black's forehead and imprinting themselves all over its body!

"hold head high--!!!"

Little Black let out a painful roar!

Its body trembled, and the obsidian dragon scales on its body began to crack and peel off under the wash of dark golden energy!

Blood was everywhere!

Soon, beneath the peeled-off scales, a new, stronger layer of dragon scales grew rapidly!

Each newly grown scale is imprinted with an ancient, dark gold dragon pattern!

With the infusion of the Ancestral Dragon's bloodline, Xiao Hei's body began to undergo a second development!

Thirty meters...forty meters...fifty meters!

Its body swelled wildly, its bones cracking and popping under the strain, its muscles bulging, and the outline of its entire dragon body became increasingly ferocious!

A terrifying aura, far more powerful than before, erupted from it, sweeping across all directions!

The waves surged, and the sky changed color!

This aura surpasses all living beings, exuding the kingly air of looking down upon heaven and earth!

Binding successful!

Zhou Huai withdrew his hand and looked up at the enormous thing in front of him.

Xiao Hei's size doubled, reaching sixty meters!

It lay there silently, transforming into a continuous black mountain range, exuding a sense of oppression.

A born king!

Quasi-god-level alien beast!

This is enough to directly confront an SSS-level professional!

And then there's Arthur, who's also an SSS-rank Imperial Dragon Knight...

This is an absolute powerhouse combination!

Zhou Huai flipped over and leaped onto Xiao Hei's broad back.

"Little Black, let's...stir things up!"

"hold head high--!!!"

A deafening dragon roar echoed through the sky. Little Black spread its pair of ferocious dragon wings, stirring up towering waves, and soared into the sky!
