Chapter 98

Li Yinzhu's fusion entered the final stage.

Du Nan walked out of the storage room to take over for Ye Binghua, allowing her to find a sealed storage room to fuse with the Platinum Dragon. Before this, he needed to go through some very complicated procedures. After fusing with a fragment of a divine artifact, Ye Binghua's physical quality had improved, but it was still far from the final requirement. Fusing with an ordinary dragon's combat body was not too difficult, but fusing with a Platinum Dragon at the Dragon King level was still a long way off.

To ensure Ye Binghua's successful fusion, Du Nan had to make a sacrifice.

"Take off your clothes," Du Nan said. Ye Binghua's face turned bright red. She trembled with embarrassment, not knowing how to react.

Du Nan extended his right hand, which transformed into a 'dragon claw.'

With a gentle claw, he pierced a blood hole in his own dragon finger, then dropped a drop of blood on the nearby mecha. Instantly, the blood drop turned into the most terrifying solvent, melting the mecha in a few seconds and quickly turning it into a pile of debris and powder.

"Dragon blood?" Ye Binghua understood immediately, her face turning an even more alluring shade of red.

This arm transformation was naturally not the change of a half-dragon person. Only the blood of a true dragon contained extraordinary energy, capable of destruction, consumption, and the dissolution of metals, stones, and other materials. It was said that after a dragon died, any life form it touched would either dissolve into water or gain extraordinary powers. Dragon-blooded beasts, dragon-blooded trees, and dragon-blooded stones were all created by the blood of a dragon. However, more often than not, they were dissolved into residue by the dragon's blood.

Brother Nan having 'dragon blood' meant he must have a dragon's body. No wonder he knew so much about the Holy Race... Ye Binghua thought, becoming even more embarrassed and unable to take off her clothes.

Du Nan turned around: "Hurry up. Soon, I will draw a large amount of blood to soak your entire body, then freeze you and place you in the Platinum Dragon's mouth. Your clothes will definitely not survive, and you will need to hold the Seven-Star Zero-Degree Core to try to advance to a higher level. During this period, I will monitor your fusion process. If the energy is insufficient, I will continue to add blood."

"Um..." Ye Binghua responded timidly, her voice as soft as a mosquito's.

She already knew that this was not just a fusion attempt, but Du Nan was pushing her to a 'definite success.'

The amount of dragon blood Du Nan would need to pay was still unknown.

"Thank you." Understanding Du Nan's 'sacrifice,' Ye Binghua mustered the courage to peck him on the cheek and quickly ran to the front of the Platinum Dragon. She quickly took off her armor and crouched down, blushing and huddling into a small ball. Her semi-transparent skin glowed under the light, a captivating shade of pink.

"Lie inside its mouth," Du Nan instructed, ignoring her small frame.

Ye Binghua quickly ran in.

She curled up in embarrassment, watching Du Nan extend his dragon-clawed arm, slash a long gash, and spurt out blood with a cold aura.

"Will you be okay doing this?" Ye Binghua touched the blood, immediately feeling a bone-chilling cold.

Now, she was more worried about Du Nan's body.

Du Nan shook his head and smiled: "No problem. I have fused with a fragment of a divine artifact, so my recovery ability is very strong. This blood is also drawn from my magic body, and I can recover by eating and drinking for a while. Don't worry. If you feel very cold, just sleep soundly. Everything will be fine, and I will ensure you have no trouble. Sleep, be good."

"Um." Feeling the cold penetrate her body, Ye Binghua obediently fell asleep.

At this moment, Du Nan's face suddenly turned pale.

As white as paper.

He smiled bitterly, thinking: This time, I've lost a lot. Losing so much dragon blood, I can't hope to replenish it in a short time. Fortunately, the Ice Dragon combat body can't be used in the short term, giving me enough time to recover. For Ye Binghua's fusion, Du Nan knew there would be no resistance. The blood of the First-Rank Ancestor Dragon could easily awaken a Third-Rank Dragon King. However, during this period, he would need to draw a lot of blood.

Over three days.

Du Nan ate and drank frantically to replenish his nutrients while drawing blood to nourish the sleeping Ye Binghua.

At a certain critical point.

Finally, Du Nan's body underwent two changes. The first was the response from the Platinum Dragon. It seemed to recognize the baptism of the Ancestor's blood, resonating with a strange sensation. At this moment, Du Nan faintly connected with Ye Binghua's existence. In his divine consciousness, the two seemed to transform into two dragons playfully interacting. The sleeping Ye Binghua also revealed a shy, sweet smile.

Then, the Platinum Dragon began to transform, evolving toward the level of an ancient holy dragon.

The second change.

Originated from the 'taste enhancement' of the fifth fragment of the divine artifact.

At this time, Du Nan was weak from blood loss, and he experienced countless strange sensations while eating and drinking. When biting into meat, he could seemingly identify the type of meat, its species, lineage, and even its superior genetic points. The weaker he became, the stronger his 'digestion' became. At times, he could instantly absorb the optimal nutrients from the meat, replenishing his body.

This discovery also sparked unusual thoughts in Du Nan.

Taking a brief moment.

Du Nan folded to an ordinary uninhabited planet, capturing several young special star beasts. Suppressing his strange feelings, Du Nan directly killed the star beasts and put the warm raw meat into his mouth. Instantly, a strange sensation arose. The star beast's blood and raw meat entering his mouth, his 'hungry' body seemed to find some excellent nutrients. It was quickly absorbed in a peculiar way.

Then, it was integrated into his own genes.

Crack!

Du Nan extended his arm, clenched his fist, and made a strange sound. His divine consciousness sensed that the superior genes of the star beast were completely 'absorbed' by him. Its most powerful 'arm claws' strength was completely transformed into his arm. At the same time, a dragon roar echoed within his body. The Thunder Dragon and Ice Dragon, two Ancestor-level dragons, seemed to have undergone a small transformation after a minor baptism.

Of course, this tiny bit of power was like a drop in the ocean for them.

But Du Nan could clearly sense that they had improved. This transformation also reflected on himself, the 'master.'

Was this the effect of the divine artifact fragment? Or the extraordinary ability of the Ancestor Dragon?

Or perhaps the combination of both, producing a super-strong effect? Du Nan couldn't figure it out, but he knew he had found a path to 'optimize genes,' the simplest and fastest way: the path of a foodie! As long as he had the freshest blood and meat, he could obtain the best genes. As long as he kept eating, his physical quality would improve dramatically, eventually even reaching the level of a dragon's body.

Another five days.

Du Nan continued to fold and teleport to various recorded coordinates, searching for the most special star beasts to hunt and eat.

At this time, Ye Binghua had entered a stable state and no longer needed dragon blood to nourish her. On the other side, Li Yinzhu was about to awaken, with cracks appearing on the cocoon, slightly leaking energy. Her fusion would be complete in one or two days. In this situation, Du Nan no longer traveled far, focusing on guarding the cocoon in case of any unexpected changes.

A day later.

The cocoon finally transformed into a stream of energy, completely returning to Li Yinzhu's body. At this moment, a smooth, long-legged beauty opened her eyes. Seeing Du Nan staring at her without blinking, she wasn't too embarrassed. In one step, she flashed from thirty meters away to Du Nan's front. Her white hands climbed up to Du Nan's neck, and she said coyly, "Do I look good?"

"Um." Du Nan answered honestly.

"Thank you." Li Yinzhu gave Du Nan a deep kiss on the lips and then disappeared into thin air.

After fusing with the Royal Scale Butterfly, Li Yinzhu underwent significant changes.

First, she grew taller, only half an inch shorter than Du Nan.

Second, her body became whiter, with a texture like white jade. She also became slimmer, with more than half of her height being long, slender legs, followed by her white body and head. Overall, she looked more slender and graceful. Compared to a fat person, she was less than half the size. Compared to a runway model, she was even more slender and long-legged.

After a successful fusion, Li Yinzhu's body techniques advanced to the seventh level. Her magical energy soared, and she only lacked a suitable Seven-Star Core.

The changes brought by the King's body were naturally satisfying.

Regarding Ye Binghua's seclusion for practice, Li Yinzhu did not ask much. After all, Ye Binghua had always been 'mysterious,' and everyone was used to it. Each time she practiced alone, she made some degree of progress, which greatly enhanced the overall strength of the Silver Leaf Team. Therefore, everyone liked her peculiar methods. Seeing Du Nan's appearance, Li Yinzhu thought he knew something. Based on trust in her companion, she did not say much.

Three days later.

The Silver Leaf Team found a research laboratory on the Kerosha planet, with four poison workshops and four research rooms.

According to Du Nan's requirements, Silver Bell burned the poison workshops and related equipment. The artificial lakes for cultivating toxic fungi and poisonous creatures were also thoroughly destroyed by the Silver Leaf Team. Each of the four research rooms contained a magic body in a sealed state. The largest research room also had a giant egg, about seventeen meters tall, with various instruments and tubes inserted into it.

Nearby, there were some related records and documents. Because they were recorded using special symbols, no one could understand them.

"Send me the images and the video of the giant egg."

Based on the Ice Dragon's memory, Du Nan could roughly guess what this was. However, he did not know what the ancient technology enthusiasts had done to this hibernating and transforming dragon. Or perhaps, these technology enthusiasts had prompted its transformation and evolution.

"Sure, here are all the documents." The fat man sent hundreds of files and opened a video call.

"Have you heard of the Holy Race?" Du Nan knew at a glance that this was a Gold Dragon, no, it should be a common dragon that was one step away from reaching the Dragon King level. Due to the halt in the research process, it remained in this semi-advanced state, waiting for an opportunity.
